This is one of those books that left me totally speechless. So speechless in fact that the first thing I had to do when I finished it was to tell my BBF (that's Book Best Friend) that she had to read it too so I would have someone to talk about it to!!! Because I was like "What??' and "Noooo!!" and then "Daaaamn!!!" You can't hold all that inside it's just not healthy!
Evan Arden is all sorts of messed up. He's not even a good guy, he's a hit man for the mob, for Christ's sake, but…… I STILL liked him. Oh wow, just the fact that I did must mean that I'm one sick, messed up puppy myself!!
Ever read a book that even after you finish it you just can't stop thinking about it?? Yeah, this is one of those books. It's that good!

This was a ok book for me. Probably not a re-read but I did enjoy that it had a HEA.
This is a story about an American soldier, Hunter, and an Iraqi prostitute, Rania, set during the war in Afghanistan.
Rania has been living on the street, after her family died and her younger brother left her to become a soldier, since she was fourteen, selling herself for food and money in order to survive.
Hunter is a American soldier sent to Afghanistan to fight in the war shortly after he found out that his long-time girlfriend, whom he had planned on asking to marry him, had been cheating on him for the past year.
Hunter is seriously wounded in a altercation with insurgents, in which his best friend and Rania's brother are both killed or were they?
All Rania knows is that she can't just leave the American soldier to die out in the street, so she decides to try and save him.
After Hunter regains consciousness to find the beautiful Iraqi girl caring for him he is instantly attracted to her, even after he figures out what it is that Rania does to survive. Rania is attracted to the handsome soldier as well even though she is terrified of him. All she knows is that men want to use her body for their own selfish needs and she is afraid that the soldier will be no different once he is well.
The first thing that they must do is overcome their language barrier. I was a little skeptical as to how fast they both learned the others languages, just seemed a little unbelievable, but maybe that's just me.
There were a couple of ick fators for me Hunter kissing her after she had just performed oral sex on a client and then vomited and then when he "went downtown" on her. I mean, she's a prostitute and mostly just "wipes up" after being with her clients. Kind of made me want to vomit, as well.
For the most part I did enjoy this book. It was well edited and had a HEA. Two things that I really appreciate in a book.
First Temptation (A Covert Affairs Novella, Book 1.5)
8:00 pm 1 August 2013
This was ok for a novella, although I don't remember meeting either of the characters in the previous book, [b:Intimate Enemies|28425|Intimate Enemies|Shana Abe|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320389281s/28425.jpg|28974]. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been some character introduction in that book which lead up to the novella.
This book was very well edited with a actual plot line. This could have been a great book had it been a full-length novel and the characters relationship had more time to develop. I'm not a big fan of "insta-love/lust" where the H and h are falling into bed mere hours after meeting.
Joan Swan continues to be one of my "must read" authors so I know I will look forward to reading future books by her.
Intimate Enemies (Covert Affairs, #1)
8:00 pm 31 July 2013
After discovering [a:Joan Swan|5097017|Joan Swan|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1312272132p2/5097017.jpg]'s books, I must say that she has quickly became one of my "must read" authors. Her books are very well written/edited and also include an interesting plot.
Cassie met Rio at her mother and step-brother's funeral. He was her rock, her shoulder to cry on, her pillar of strength, yet she didn't even know his name.
Cassie vowed to return to her mothers estate to try and learn the reason for their deaths and try and prove that her step-father was somehow involved.
Upon returning Cassie comes face to face with the man from the funeral, Rio. Only problem is, is that Rio works for her step-father, the man that Cassie plans to prove is involved in numerous criminal activities, ie drug dealing, arms dealing and possibly human trafficking.
Cassie must decide whom she can trust and who she can't, because no one is really who they seem.
I really enjoyed this book. I felt that it had a great story line and Rio was just to HOT! I particularly liked that even though there was instant attraction between Cassie and Rio they did not immediately fall into bed. The author took the time to develop the relationship between them which I really liked.
Can't wait to read future books in this series

Love these books! Yummy pictures and easy to follow directions.
8:00 pm 31 July 2013
Didn't really care for this book which was really disappointing, considering I loved her other books.
I felt this book was really hard to "get into" and the ending was terrible. Even after reading the book I still have no idea "who dunnit".
Fear of Falling
8:00 pm 17 July 2013
All I needed was
Her warm, sweet breath fanned across my face as she sighed with anticipation. I could almost hear her heartbeat stutter over the music. Hooded, sultry eyelids blinked slowly, those emerald green retinas sparkling under the moonlight.
This moment was the only one that mattered. This woman in front of me was the only one that existed. I wanted to make Kami mine in every way, shape, and form. I wanted to claim every moan, every whimper, every shudder. But for right now. I would settle for
. I would savor
. I would put every ounce of the concentrated desire exploding in every synapse like fireworks on the 4th into
I couldn't see anything beyond
. Beyond her. Beyond us.
I just had to make her feel
Blaine.....sigh....my new book boyfriend.
Kami has lived through some of the worst abuse anyone could possibly endure. Her father beat, tortured, terrorized & sexually abused her. He would tie her up and leave her in a dark closet for hours. He would also beat and raper her mother in front of her. She has some deep scars both physically and mentally. Shes afraid of the dark, of closed doors and terrified of water. Shes damaged and "unloveable". She will never be "normal".
Then she meets Blaine. He has had his fair share of heartache and been accused of seeking out "damsels in distress" so he can rescue them and "save" them. But Kami is convinced that she can't be "fixed" because she's to broken.
I absolutely
this book. I would give it more then five stars if I could.
Found (Lost & Found, #2)
8:00 pm 15 July 2013
After reading Lost (which ends in a huge cliffy) I was thrilled when I got Found free on Amazon.
I really enjoyed these books. They told the story of Maia & Owen, who both had horrible things that happened to them in the past, which left them both terribly damaged and afraid to trust or love.
Found is the conclusion to their story. I found both Maria & Owen very like-able and I really like the fact that the books are told in alternating POVs (and the fact that the author starts each chapter with the heading stating which character's POV you will be reading).
The books also deal with some heavy issues such as rape & domestic violence which I thought were handled very nicely by the author. The author also didn't feel the need to go into the nitty-gritty details which I appreciated.
All in all I really liked this series.
Fifteen Minutes: A Novel
8:00 pm 15 July 2013
I am always hesitant to read one of Karen Kingsbury's books that doesn't have The Baxter's in it, but she does NOT disappoint.
The Characters are very relate-able and the storyline keeps you interested.
8:00 pm 5 July 2013
This is the follow-up novella to [b:on the island|15505346|On the Island|Tracey Garvis-Graves|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1339162550s/15505346.jpg|18151286].
I read this immediately after finishing On the Island simply because I wasn't ready for the story to end yet.
This was a great short read. It answered the question about the skeleton in the cave that TJ and Anna found while on the island.
It also gave us a entirely different love story. A story about a love found and then lost. A story about finding yourself and separating yourself from the people in your life that are only out for what you can do for them. A story about keeping a promise, no matter how many years it might take.
Owen was a man who seemingly had it all. He was independently wealthy, thanks to the dot com business him and three friends started. He drove a nice BMW. He had a beautiful fiancé and attended all the best parties and social events. But, looks can be deceiving.
Owen hated his life. He hates that his business partners were more interested in spending money then in earning it. He hates the man his mother married, a man that would rather sit on his ass and do nothing while expecting a hand-out from Owen. He also hates his sister who thinks that she had a hand in his success and expect compensation for it. Owen hates all the people who just want something from him, but don't actually care about him.
So, Owen has a plan. A plan to leave it all behind. A plan to get away from everybody and everything. A plan to live by himself on a deserted island until he decides what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
Owen found the perfect island and with the help of Captain Mick (whom we met in the previous book) he was able to leave everything and everyone behind and immerse himself into his self-imposed solitude. Life was good.
Then on a rare weekend off the island (again with the help of Captain Mick) Owen meets a girl named Calia. Owen invites her to come back to the island with him. Hoping she will but not really believing it, he is surprised when she shows up the next morning ready to board the sea plane with him. He's even more surprised when she brings her brother, James, with her.
For the next month the three of them become close friends.
Then there's a horrible accident. An accident that changes everything.
This is a great novella to [b:on the island|15505346|On the Island|Tracey Garvis-Graves|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1339162550s/15505346.jpg|18151286] . I love it and can't say enough good things about it!
8:00 pm 4 July 2013
This is a beautiful story of survival and love.
Seventeen year old T.J., didn't want to go on a vacation for the entire summer with his family. He wanted to spend it at home so he could hang out with his best friend, Ben. He just wanted to feel and act like a normal seventeen year old. A seventeen year old who just happened to be recovering from cancer treatments.
Anna, a 31 year old teacher who's in a relationship she feels is going no where, decides to take a summer job tutoring. She figures that it would give her time to decide what she wants out of life plus it's in a tropical paradise. The perfect chance to get away and figure some things out, right?
Anna and T.J. meet at the airport where she will be accompanying him to their destination. All goes well until they get on Captain Mick's seaplane because Captain Mick suffers a fatal heart attack and they crash into the ocean.
This is where it really starts getting good, or should I say bad? For Anna and T.J. Now they have to learn how to survive using or eating nothing except what they find on the island or whatever washes up on the beach. Everyday is a struggle just to stay alive.
They learn to live off of coconuts and breadfruit (sort of like I coconut, I'm guessing) and whatever rain water they can collect, to eventually learning how to catch fish and crabs and the chickens that somehow inhibit the island. They must also deal with sharing their home with rats, spiders, bats, mosquitoes and bugs, and the human skeleton they found in a cave. They suffer through broken bones, bat bites, malnutrition, dehydration and Dengue fever. But, hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?? And these were two very strong people.
I loved sharing this journey with them. I also loved the alternating POV's. Somehow it just makes a story that much better for me if I can be inside the heads of the characters in the story. I can know what they know, I can see what they see, I can feel what they feel.
Neither Anna or T.J. sat around feeling sorry for themselves. There were times when they broke down, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, when they would wonder how their families were handling their "deaths", but for the most part they adapted and grew to love their island.
Anna and T.J. were on the island for two years before their relationship ever got physical. It happened so gradual that, for the most part, I didn't even think about the age difference. By that time T.J. was 19 and Anna was 33, so it wasn't like she was robbing the cradle or committing statutory rape. They were just a man and a woman, stranded on a deserted island with nobody but each other. It was only natural that they developed feelings for each other.
Another year goes by before they are finally rescued. Which is about half way into the book. I really liked that the story didn't stop there. We got to see what happens after they return home to their lives and families. How they deal with the media storm of their survival and rescue and their relationship while on the island.
I loved this book. Very seldom do I read a book that stays with me after I'm finished with it. It's usually read it and forget it. Not so with this book. I loved T.J. I loved Anna and I loved this book!!! I also had to immediately read [b:Uncharted|718907|Uncharted|Angela Elwell Hunt|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347713518s/718907.jpg|827178], the novella follow-up, just because I wasn't ready for the story to end yet.
For anyone thinking about reading this book, I say you defiantly should. You wont regret it. I promise.
8:00 pm 7 June 2013
I just have to say that I haven't read many books lately that have really been "all that". More times then not when I finish a book, I'm embarrassed to say, I mostly forget it and move on to the next one.
Every once in a while I find a book that after I read it, I find myself thinking about it for days afterward and have a hard time moving on to the next book.
This was one of those books. I loved Cole and I love Blake and I LOVED reading their story.

********Received from NetGalley for an honest review********
Jet (Marked Men, #2)
8:00 pm 3 June 2013
This book was just ok for me. There was so much dysfunction from both Jet and Ayden's families you had to wonder how either one of them could possibly ever have a "normal" life.
I did especially like the parts where Jet would sing country songs to Ayden even though he hated country music. To me that was just incredibly sweet & sexy.
I do have to admit that I don't like the picture of the guy on the cover. He didn't do a thing for me. Give me a hot body to work with and I'll put my own idea of who's face I want to see on it.
Being Me (Inside Out Trilogy, #2)
8:00 pm 30 May 2013
I received an ARC of this book and immediately had to drop everything to read it simply because I loved, loved, loved [b:If I were you|15717721|If I Were You (Inside Out Trilogy, #1)|Lisa Renee Jones|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350167395s/15717721.jpg|21388692] (the first book in this trilogy) so much!
Being Me takes up exactly where the last book left off with Sara being shut in the storage unit when the lights went out. I appreciate that there was no time lost between books. I hate it when an author leaves you with a major cliff hanger and when the next book starts you've lost months or years and have to endure all those flash-backs.
While I didn't love this book the same way I did the first one, I really did like it a lot .
There was a lot of questions that the first book left you asking that this book provided the answers to.
While the first book mostly introduced you to the characters, this book gave them depth and personality so that you experienced their life, love and heartbreak right along with them.
It revealed insights into Sara's past and the secrets she was keeping from Chris. It touched upon some of the secrets that Chris was hiding from Sara. And, It explained in more detail the type of life that Mark was into. But most importantly we were able to find out about Rebecca and the secrets before, during, and after her disappearance. I didn't see that one coming.
IMO the steam factor in this book didn't equal what it was in the first book (the image of him taking her up against the glass wall in his apartment makes me ovulate just thinking about it!) but they were still very hot.
I will definitely be reading the next installment simply because I'm a little in love with Chris and I'm just dying to know all his deep-dark secrets.
[b:If I Were You|15717721|If I Were You (Inside Out Trilogy, #1)|Lisa Renee Jones|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350167395s/15717721.jpg|21388692]
Surviving Raine
8:00 pm 27 May 2013
*******This review contains spoilers*******
Ok. So I'm not really sure where to start. I wanted to like this book. I tried to like this book. I kept praying that by some miracle this book would get better for me. It just didn't happen.
Gist of the story: Daniel(Bastian) and Raine get marooned on a deserted island. He teaches her how to survive eating raw fish and pelicans, she teaches him how to love and trust. Simple basic love story.
The problem for me was Daniel/Bastian (short for Sebastian). I hated him. He was a drunk. He was rude & crude, a man-whore and just a general all around ass-hole. All redeemable qualities, IMO. Lot's of my favorite H's have had at least one (usually more) of these flaws but have overcome them in my eyes.
This is the thing I just can't get over…..…..
He, in the past, participated in fight-to-the-death type games for money (apparently lots and lots of money). Ok, I have a serious problem with this.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around my H willingly participating in a game of hunt and be hunted and then brutally kill them before they kill you. I can forgive a lot in my H's but to my knowledge they have never killed anyone simply because it was a game. When my men kill someone it's because they are bad-assed special Ops guys who are saving the life of the woman they love! And, dammit, the fun comes out of it being JUSTIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's like the author wanted you to feel sorry for him by giving him this really shitty life so that you, in return, could use to excuse his career choice.
I swear this author did everything to him but drop a freaking house on his head. God, it was depressing.
In case you're wondering I'll just name a few:
His parents abandoned him.
He may have been abused.
He got kicked out of multiple foster homes.
He watched a girl he was friends with in a group home get gang raped (and then she committed suicide).
His, supposedly, girlfriend tricked him into getting her pregnant then left him for someone else and took their baby with her.
And it just went on and on and on.
And not for ONE single minute did you get to forget about one single miserable second of his miserable life!!
Just to be fair, he did have moments where he was almost likable, but they were very few and far between.
The one thing I did agree with was when he told Raine that she deserved someone a lot better.
Book ended. I still hated him.

Five card stud poker has become so popular because the rules are not that difficult and one can learn it in little time. You can play 5 Card Stud Poker at Full Tilt Poker where you also will get 27% Full Tilt Poker rakeback via Rakeback Lovers
Five Card Stud Poker History
This game of poker is believed to have come from the As Nas game in Persia. This game was played with Five different suits and twenty Five cards in total. But when the deck was increased to fifty two cards and flush came into existence, the game allowed more players to play at the same time. The game became popular during the time of Civil War as many soldiers played the game.
An Event in World Series of Poker
Five card stud poker was included in WSOP tournament during 1970's. It became a most important. It became an important event when Bill Boyd won a massive amount of $80,000. It is equal in popularity as compared to Ohama hold'em. Amateur gambling players play this game regularly after its inclusion in the World Series of Poker.
Five Card Stud Poker Basic Theme
The play can only begin when each player has pact the face down of one card. Then it has to be dealt with face up of another card. The dealing process starts from player sitting to the dealers left. The player with a lowest rank would have to pay the bring-in if the game is played with earn. But if more than one player has low cards that rank equal then tie breaker is done using the suit rankings. Then the game proceeds. If the game is not played with a bring-in then the player showing the upcard with top rank starts the first betting round. If two players have upcards of same rank then the one that is first in clockwise direction from the dealer acts.
Each players deal another face-up card after the first betting round is over. As less than Five cards are face up cards, the player whose upcard makes the best hand gets the chance to begin the betting. Then the third betting round begins with a third upcard. The third round also starts with the player who has the best poker hand and so the starting can change with the betting rounds. The show is done after the fourth face-up card and the fourth betting round.
Five card stud Poker Rules
As per the rules and regulations of the game, two cards are given to each player by the dealer. One to deal for face up and another to deal for face down. Bidding is started by the person who contains the low ranked face up card. The person has to bid for full bet or a half minimum bet. The players make their bet by moving in clockwise direction. The players have to raise the bet and not to crease their hands. Retuning hand back to the dealer is known as folded hand. A fold is done only when a player thinks that the cards he has in his hand have no chances of winning and thus return back his hand to the dealer.
The players then receive the left third card from the dealer. This card helps the players to bet for a particular amount. The one with the best poker hand starts the betting, followed by the other players. The player has to show his hand on the table to prove his hand is the best. In the next round the player who has the highest face up card places the bet. The others have no other option but either to fold or to follow. It is now the time to deal the river card or the last card. Another more round of betting takes place and this deal is face up. After this deal the game ends and the winner gets the pot.
During betting the rank of the suits of the cards are required to find the one who should start. Spades are in rank one, and Hearts follow them and then come Diamonds and lastly Clubs. It is the dealer who takes all the decision and determines who has got the pot.
Illustration of a Game situation
Four players are playing at a Five card stud poker table. The players are Bob, Alice, David and Carol. It is Alice who is dealing. He deals to each player a face down card and then deals one face up card to each player. David has dealt the 4D, Carol QD, Bob the 4S and Alice 9C. As per suit ranking Bob's 4S has got higher rank than David's 4d. Hence David starts the betting with $1 earns as they previously decided to play for $1 bring-in. Thus current bet amount is $1 and Alice makes the call. Bob turn his up cards face down and abandon his cards and hence folds. David also folds when carol raises the bet to $3. But still Alice continues calling.
On the "Third Street" Alice dealt QH and Carol the JC. A second face up card is dealt by Alice to the remaining players. As Carol now have the pair as Q-J which is higher than Alice Q-9, it's his turn to bet now. But both of them checks and that ends the betting round. On "Forth Street" Alice has QC and Carol has 3H. Thus it is time to deal another face up card. Alice bets first in order to have the pair of queens. Carol calls when the bet is made s $Five.
Now the river card or the last card is dealt. This deal is a face up deal. Alice has 4H and Carol gets AD. As Carol has no pair with him it is Alice to start the betting again. Carol then raises the bet amount to $10 from $Five, which is bet by Alice. Carol being the last player to be belligerent has the chance to turn over the hole card. It turns to be AC and gives Carol a pair of aces. Thus the pair of aces makes Carol to win the game and also wins the pot of about $37.
Playing Five Card stud Poker
Each player deals with one card at a time among the Five cards. This makes the game easy to understand and simple. It starts with a face down followed by a face up. One who shows the lowest card starts the betting but still there can be different ways to start betting. After the round the player again deals on another face up card and makes the call.
After this the second round of betting is conducted. Each player has four cards at this point of game. If any player has got a high worth pair then have a huge advantage. The player having the best poker hand makes the bet. The other players, who want to call, made deal for the final face up card. The cards are twisted face up when all the betting's are over. The player with the maximum poker hand wins the game and becomes the owner of the pot.
Five Card Stud Poker Strategy
Winning in this game is always a challenge though the game rules of Five card stud poker is simple. To control the game one should be aware of the fact that he should have the capability to take right decision in right time. Proper playing and decision making strategies are required to compete with the amateur players.
It is required to pay more attention to way the opponents play. It sometimes gives a clear idea about what the other players want to do. Many times the opponents try to do bluffing by showing off. They try to make believe that they have the best hand among all. The best time to bluff is when there is higher face down cards and when the face up cards is lower. This puts the opponent in quandary and thus out plays by betting everything they have.
Just like morning shows the day in this game the rest of the rounds depend on the way one plays the first round. Pairs are the best starting cards. Also high the pair is, the chances of winning also increases. Also it's recommended to fold if one does not receive triples on the "Third Street".
If one has a Five in face up and a king in the face down then you win if no one has up card above jack. Thus this beats the board with available up card and referred to as "high Hole Card". Also a high card in the hole can also make you win the game.
Though knowing strategies is required to be a master of this type of game yet experience also adds value. If one plays regularly then by experience one takes the decision. Also if one can easily read the cards of the opponents by the way they play. This type of predications helps a lot in winning this type of fantastic games. By knowing strategies and having ability to forecast the cards helps to flourish in this game.

Your company cannot afford to lose its most talented staff members if you want to remain competitive. Unfortunately, if you are having trouble keeping industry leaders employed at your organization, your business is at risk.
The good news is, if you're seeing a talent exodus at your business, there are steps you can take to stop this brain drain and keep your most skilled workers happy and employed. A few of the steps you should consider taking to retain your top talent include the following:
Improve employee engagement: Employees who feel they are part of a team and working towards a common goal are far less likely to leave. Make sure staff members communicate with each other and employees understand their purpose and have the freedom to pursue meaningful work.
Provide a good work/life balance: If your company can offer flexible hours or other workplace perks and benefits that allow people to have a life outside of work, talented staff members are far less likely to become frustrated and leave your organization. Anything you can do to help make people's family and professional lives meld more easily is going to win you big points with staff and encourage loyalty.
Offer regular feedback: It can be frustrating to try to get through the workday and not know if you're doing what is expected of you. Talented professionals also want feedback to help them grow and improve. You should put a system in place to provide regular feedback, so employees understand the contributions they are expected to make and feel valued when they do their jobs well.
Invest in tools and technology your staff needs: Don't make life harder for workers by forcing them to do their jobs using outdated or inefficient technology or systems. If you make doing a job easy by providing the right tools, talented staff members are more likely to stick around.
Provide opportunities for advancement: Most people who are good at what they do are looking for opportunities to advance in their careers. If you are seeing a lot of your top talent leaving for competitors, consider whether you are providing a path for professional development. If not, consider creating such a path.

Australian label BATTLEGOD PRODUCTIONS is a label I'm rather unfamiliar with, although they appears to have been around for a quarter of a century by now. This promotional CD was issued back in 2016, and it's function appears to be to mainly represent the bands attached to this label that had new albums out around that year.
I got this promotional CD when I attended our local metal club, Oak Metal Club, which is situated a five minute walk away from where I live, which is basically in the middle of nowhere in rural Norway. As for why a sampler form an Australian label found it's way there, it is probably due to this label having signed a great number of Norwegian artists. The greater majority of the bands represented on this album are Norwegian, as a matter of fact.
Actually reviewing such an album is challenging of course, as there's such a great variety of material. As each band is represented by only one track each, stating something more profound about any of them isn't really viable. But breaking down the contents somewhat is possible.
Thrash metal is present in the shapes of the bands Harm, Wyruz, Forgery and Dark order. Harm being tight, intense and primal, Wyruz being more of the same but with a greater repertoire taking the band into more challenging territories, Forgery hones in on a darker and more atmospheric variety of thrash metal while Dark Order kind of comes across as a meeting of the minds between Nuclear Assault and Voivod.
Classic era metal with a New Wave of British Heavy Metal or a more modern power metal mode of delivery comes courtesy of Temtris, Tomorrow's Outlook and Cyclophonia. Temtris kind of like mid 80's Iron Maiden and Chastain combined, complete with female lead vocals, Tomorrow's Outlook with power metal with arguably something of a subtle folk music flavoring, while Cyclophenia is more of a power metal band of the kind that nods back to bands like Iron Maiden by way of subtle details.
Melodic heavy metal is represented by Tony Mills and Cameltoe. The former closing in on more of an AOR tinged mode of delivery, the latter a heavier and darker variety of the hair metal we either love to love or love to hate.
Extreme metal is represented by Subliritium and Antares Predator. The former with more of a thrash metal flavoring and the latter with what I'd describe as a stripped down sound that still comes with certain similarities to the likes of, say, Dimmu Borgir.
At last we also have a fine case of 80's heavy metal with a bit more of a majestic and perhaps even epic sound to it in the shape of Nergard.
My impression is that this production is a jolly mix of bands with more of a niche appeal to diehard fans of the various subsets of metal they explore and bands that due to their chosen style or the quality of their material will have an altogether broader reach and due to that also makes a stronger overall impact. Cameltoe is probably the pick of this album as far as I'm concerned, with Wyruz, Nergard and Forgery among the other notable items. Tomorrow's Outlook strikes me as the weakest contribution here, where the song itself doesn't really convince, something that is emphasized by the mix and production that gives the song a thin and somewhat flat sound.
If you should ever stumble upon this label sampler from Battlegod Productions it is one worth giving a spin though, as there are some fine bands that are represented here, and as the sampler covers bands from all across the metal spectrum, most metal fans will find some bands that will be of general interest by default. As far as label samplers are concerned, I've come across many over the years that are less interesting than this one.
My rating: 70/100
Track list:
1. Harm: Kill the King
2. Wyruz: In Hell
3. Temtris: Enter the Asylum
4. Tony Mills: 4 in the Morning
5. Nergard: Help Me Through the Night
6. Subliritum: Choir of Blasphemy
7. Forgery: Mind of Rage
8. Tomorrow's Outlook: Gate to Freedom
9. Cyclophonia: Retaliate
10. Cameltoe: Devil's Toe
11. Antares Predator: As Dragon Roam the Sky
12. Dark Order: Caravan of Death

Cannabis Culture (magazine)
Marc and Jodie Emery, former publisher and editor
|Jodie Emery
|Online Magazine
|Marc Emery
|Year founded
|Final issue
|2009 (Print)
Cannabis Culture is a Canadian online magazine and former print magazine devoted to cannabis and the worldwide cannabis subculture. Cannabis Culture publishes stories about the struggle to legalize marijuana, profiles of marijuana paraphernalia, articles on how to grow marijuana, interviews with prominent marijuana users, and coverage of cannabis cultural events like the Nimbin MardiGrass festival and the High Times Cannabis Cup.
The magazine was founded in the spring of 1995 by Marc Emery, a prominent Canadian marijuana legalization activist who is the president of the BC Marijuana Party and well known as the "Prince of Pot". Cannabis Culture Magazine evolved from a publication called "The Marijuana & Hemp Newsletter" launched by Emery in 1994.[1] For the first three years the magazine was named Cannabis Canada, but changed its name to Cannabis Culture with issue number 13, released in July 1998.[2]
The editor of the magazine for the first ten years was Dana Larsen, who left the magazine in April 2005, after issue 54.[3] The magazine thrived under Larsen with the help of the magazine's two regular writers, Pete Brady and Reverend Damuzi. Cannabis Culture is now edited by Jeremiah Vandermeer and published by Jodie Emery. The online magazine has seen a significant drop in readership, from over 3 million unique visitors in 2012 to less than 300,000 in 2018.
The print version of Cannabis Culture was printed in Canada and had a distribution of close to 100,000 copies across North America.[4]
In 2000, Cannabis Culture was pulled off store shelves in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Local police told retailers that it was illegal because it was a "crime comic".[5] Publisher Marc Emery flew to Timmins and gave away copies in front of the police station,[6][7] and ultimately the police apologized.[8]
Because it promotes the use and cultivation of marijuana, Cannabis Culture Magazine is banned in some countries, such as Australia, and has had problems with New Zealand customs.[9]
In March 2009, Cannabis Culture ceased publication of its print version to devote its resources to its online version, an active website originally launched in March 1995.
Cannabis Culture also hosts an active discussion forum, and is sister-site to the Pot TV Network.
On May 10, 2010, Emery was ordered to surrender to authorities and deported to the United States.[citation needed] His wife, Jodie Emery, now runs Cannabis Culture.

Possible Prescription Issues
These days, filling your prescription is not always a simple process.
Having a doctor's prescription does not always guarantee you will receive the prescribed medication. Insurance policies today may deny valid prescriptions for a variety of reasons.
We hope the following pointers will help guide you through this process:
- Take your prescription to your preferred pharmacy within New Hampshire (as per your treatment agreement).
- If your preferred pharmacy does not have the COMPLETE script (number of pills indicated), we recommend that you find another pharmacy who can fill the entire prescription. If this is not possible, the prescription will need to be adjusted and you will need to come to the office to pick up a new prescription and hand in your old one.
- Your pharmacist may inform you that your insurance does not cover your particular medication (generic medications are usually acceptable).
- Your insurance company may not cover the dosage amount or quantity ordered by the doctor. If this is the case, the doctor will need to write a revised script, which you will need to pick up at the office.
- The pharmacist may tell you that a "PA" is required. Due to the nature of medications prescribed for pain management, you may be required to obtain a "Prior Authorization" from your insurance company in order to receive the prescribed medications.
- If a Prior Authorization is required, ask your pharmacist to fax a PA NOTIFICATION form to us at American Pain Institute (our fax # is: 603-766-8550). Please note that the API is not obligated per the treatment agreement to perform a prior authorization.
- Processing Prior Authorizations can take up to 3 business days, and again are NOT guaranteed.
- If your insurance company denies coverage, alternate options can be discussed with your doctor at your next visit.
- You can choose to pay out of pocket for your medications.

This drink is featured on the intro of Episode 54 of A Feminist and A Comedian Walk Into a Bar podcast. This week we talk about sensitivity readers in the book publishing industry, marijuana legalization and political sartorial statements. Listen while you shop for your mocktail ingredients or, I don't know, color organize your highlighters, ya beautiful nerd.
Behold the blackberry, nature's littlest fanny pack, stuffed with nutritional benefits and fiber and Vitamin C.
But that's not what we're here for.
We're here for the blackberries' laidback fruit style. Here's what I appreciate about a blackberry: It's not trying to blow yer mind like the hyperactive raspberry or in constant Spring breaker mode like the partying but affable pineapple.
A blackberry is a fruit perfect for a winter day because its flavor is deep and it has a hue to match your psyche that's getting gutted by the constant cold and sunless sky! The purple shade that appears after muddling a bunch of blackberries is less black cloud, more brickwork around a dreamy castle fire.
Mmm. Take me away, unrealistic expectations.
Drop 1/3 cup of blackberries into a bowl.
Add a few drops of vanilla (only a few drops or your mouth will taste like a candle dusted lightly in lint from the TJ Maxx checkout aisle); the juice of a half a lemon; a generous squeeze of honey; and a swig of club soda.
If you need exact measurements, you probably don't need to be sober/ making a mocktail so gtfo.
Muddle all that shit with a spoon.
Remark on the word "muddle." What a good word.
"Not shaken. Not stirred. Muddled. Like my orthodontics and sense of self, please."
Strain the liquid and floaty fruit particles through a strainer, then a coffee filter, into a measuring cup.
Pour it over a rocks glass full of ice like the rockstar that you are.
Add more club soda until your glass is full.
Taste test. Did you fucking add too much vanilla? Stir in a little bit more juice o' the lemon. She knows how to make the crazy too-much guy at the party take a walk to "chill" and also maybe get a ride home if you feel like it, OK?
Throw in some mint leaves because fancy.
Throw in a few more because you bought a whole damn pack and you're drinking mocktails, which means you're drinking for one, but you don't want all these mint leaves to go to waste because you'll feel bad about that later maybe and you can no longer turn to alcohol to hide your shame and distress over how terrible and wasteful all of the world is, including yourself!
Sip it while preparing to watch Kendrick Lamar play between the Alabama and Georgia football game tonight (here for the concert not the ball, y'all). I'm excited to see him perform live. His "Humble" video's psyche-searing imagery paired with Kendrick's indefatigable performance style gives me goosebumps every time and is one of my favorites from last year.
KENDRIiiiiiick! I loveyouuuuur muuuusiiic!

A man and woman were threatened in their Bellshill home at knife-point yesterday (Monday) afternoon before being robbed.
Around 3.20pm a 31-year-old man and 27-year-old woman were within their home in Rockburn Crescent when three masked men forced their way in and threatened them with knives before leaving the scene with a three figure sum.
The three suspects escaped in a white-coloured vehicle. No-one was injured in the incident, but both victims were left badly shaken by the ordeal.
The first suspect is white, in his 20s and spoke with a local accent. He is approximately 5'6" tall, of slim to medium build and was wearing a balaclava, a blue/grey jacket and blue/grey tracksuit bottoms.
The second suspect is white and was wearing a green tracksuit and a green balaclava.
The third suspect is white, of heavy build and was wearing a hooded top and a yellow mask.
Detective Constable Graeme Lawrence, Wishaw Police Station, said: "This incident took place in someone's home and has left them feeling fearful, therefore it is vital that we find the three men responsible.
"Officers have been gathering any relevant CCTV footage and have been speaking to local residents, however are also looking to witnesses to help with enquiries.
"There is a primary school in this area and so there may well have been parents going to and from the school to collect children. Think back, did you see anything suspicious or anybody matching the descriptions?
"You may have information that can help us in our enquiries so we appeal to anyone who may think they have seen something to contact us."
Anyone with information should contact CID Officers at Wishaw Police Station via 101 and quote incident number 2146 of Monday 30 October. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.

Hydraulic separation used to have rare applications in the hydronics market in Australia. Most operators relied on only the primary/secondary piping systems. And then, the hydraulic separator made its way to several European and Australian markets and showed up in an ever-rising number of hydronic heating and cooling systems.
Role of Hydraulic Separators
Hydraulic separators enable fast and efficient separation of primary and secondary circuits for various heaters or boilers. The unit produces a zone with low head loss, allowing the circuits connected to it to become hydraulically independent of each other. Some of the best hydraulic separators provide the benefit of facilitating the continuous removal of air and dirt particles to ensure optimum performance of the equipment at all times.
Further Design for Efficiency
Hydraulic separation units have the capacity of more than one circulator and tee within a typical piping system to simultaneously function without altering one another. These closely spaced tees prevent the rate of flow in these circuits from modifying the flow rates in other channels, which borrows the design and installation requirements from primary/secondary piping to achieve hydraulic separation in each circulator. However, that is not the only means you can attain efficient hydraulic separation, especially if you need a simpler system to minimise the cost of installation.
Short/Fat Headers
Ensure the headers in your separation system are as short as possible and utilise a tube size that maintains a low flow velocity. With a short/fat header that has a greater diameter, you can split up this flow into branches with the least head loss. Short/fat headers offer hydraulic separation between their associated circulators.
Hydronic circulators come in various sizes, with some operating at variable speeds while others at fixed velocities. But, while size can affect overall efficiency, you can reduce the pressure drop with proper header design – and consequently, the head loss – in modern hydraulic separator systems. Additionally, make sure to connect headers to the piping for low head loss for efficient hydraulic separation.

With harvest now in full flow, your attentions will be turned to storing your crops. Whether you are storing for short periods of time or long periods of time pests are a problem. Stored grain insect infestations rarely begin in the field. Most develop from small numbers of pests already present in or around farm storage bins. An effective sanitation program can eliminate or greatly reduce the chance of having serious problems with these insects.
Grain Weevil
These pests develop inside of the grain kernels. They can be very difficult to find & cause heating within the stores. These insect numbers can increase rapidly and damage grain stored at temperatures above 15°C.
Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle
These beetles develop on the surface of damaged grain. If the grain is stored above 15°C their numbers can increase rapidly. They are very active, and can be easily trapped.
Rust-Red Grain Beetle
These beetles penetrate through minute cracks within the kernels. They thrive within grain stored at temperatures above 15°C. In hot UK summers they can develop the ability to fly.
So what can you do to help prevent these & other insects from infesting your stored crop?
Pre-Storage – Check your store has been cleaned thoroughly before any grain is deposited into it. Remove all debris from the store and handling equipment, ensuring it is disposed of at a reasonable distance away from the store.
Traps - Some traps are designed for use in the store others for use within the bulk of the grain. Traps have been shown to be 10 times more effective than sampling for detecting low populations.
Sampling – Sampling the grain can help detect insects and mites, but it is less reliable than using traps.
Grain Quality – try to ensure grains (excl. malting barley) are below 14.5% moisture content and at a maximum of 5°C. Oilseed should be stored at 7.5-8% moisture content and below 5°C where possible. Malting barley should not be stored below 10°C. (View our range of grain driers >>>)
So how can we help prevent these & other insects from infesting your stored crop?
Drying – Ensuring your grain is clean and dry will help reduce the chance of pest infestation. Try to ensure grains (excl. malting barley) are below 14.5% moisture content and at a maximum of 5°C. Oilseed should be stored at 7.5-8% moisture content and below 5°C where possible. Malting barley should not be stored below 10°C. Our continuous mixed flow driers can be situated indoors or outdoors and are available in capacities from 10tph to 150tph. With a full range of options we can design a drier to suit your needs. To find out more about range of grain driers click here >>>
Pre-Cleaning – If you do find yourself with a pest problem, after you have treated for pests you can run the crop back through your plant and our aspirator will help by taking the pests out. Our aspirator pre-cleaners not only remove dust and light fines, they also help remove insects/pests that are lighter than the grain. Our range of pre-cleaners are fully galvanised and are available in capacities up to 150tph. You can find out more about our range of aspirator pre-cleaners by clicking here >>>

Two Connecticut taxi operators are adding alternative fuel vehicles to their taxi fleets beginning with Ford Transit Connect Taxi CNG units.
Ford announced the orders today at the New England International Auto Show. Metro Taxi of West Haven, Conn., and The Yellow Cab Company of Bloomfield, Conn., each ordered 20 Transit Connect Taxis with CNG preparation engine packages – for a total of 40.
"We're migrating our fleets to alternative fuel vehicles, and Transit Connect Taxi with CNG is the perfect vehicle to start with," said Bill Scalzi, president of Metro Taxi. "CNG is the cleanest alternative fuel available, and the vehicle has great features for passenger comfort."
Marco Henry, president of The Yellow Cab Company, said the new Transit Connect Taxis with CNG will be added to his fleet of more than 100 taxi cabs.
The Connecticut operators are among several New England taxi operators who have recently ordered Transit Connects for their fleets.
Both are active in their communities in environmental preservation and safe driving. Committing to operating CNG-powered taxi fleets is a major part of that effort.
In its customer research, Ford found that taxi taxi operators around the country are asking for vehicles that run on alternative fuels. Therefore, Ford developed the Transit Connect Taxi with an engine prep package that allows conversion to both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied propane gas (LPG).
The vehicle's cargo area easily accommodates CNG tanks directly behind the second-row seat, still allowing ample luggage storage.
Both CNG and LPG lower taxi fleet operating costs and are better for the environment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, CNG is less expensive and burns cleaner than gasoline, resulting in 30 to 40 percent less greenhouse gas emissions. Propane also burns cleaner than gasoline.
Built on a dedicated commercial vehicle platform tested to meet Ford's light commercial vehicle durability standards, Ford's new Transit Connect Taxi also features a wiring upfit package, vinyl flooring and standard third-row windows – all of which are factory-installed.
With its standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine and automatic transmission, the conventionally powered Transit Connect is expected to deliver an estimated 30 percent improvement in fuel economy versus many of today's traditional taxis.
For more information on the Ford Transit Connect, stop by Beach Ford in Virginia Beach or Beach Ford Lincoln in Suffolk.

Improving Southern Nevada Nonprofits' Grant Capacity & Competitiveness
Southern Nevada Strong, the State of Nevada's Grant Office, United Way of Southern Nevada, Guinn Center for Policy Priorities, and Nevada Community Foundation are pleased to announce the completion and release of a strategic framework that aims to enhance the abilities of the region's nonprofit organizations to apply for and receive federal grant funding.
"Improving Southern Nevada Nonprofits' Grant Capacity and Competitiveness" identifies opportunities for nonprofits to improve the quality and quantity of the grant applications they submit, and calls for cross-sector collaboration to make securing federal grants a regional priority. The strategic framework is intended to guide the approach nonprofits take with federal grants and align stakeholders across the region for shared success.
Because Nevada has long been one of the lowest performing states in the country in terms of receiving competitive federal grants, enhancing the region's capacity and competitiveness for federal funding is a priority objective for Southern Nevada Strong. Increasing the flow of federal grants to Southern Nevada is particularly compelling for the region's nonprofit community, as Nevada's nonprofit organizations rank 50th in the nation for assets and revenue per capita, yet are tasked with providing valuable services to a growing population.
The strategic framework was developed over the course of six months with guidance and input from a workgroup comprised of grant writers and nonprofit professionals representing more than a dozen local organizations. Additionally, feedback from the greater nonprofit community was captured during an open house event held in early February where nearly 70 nonprofit leaders reviewed and provided comment on the proposed strategy.

My Heroes
The two athletes who influenced me the most are Muhammad Ali and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both are heroes to me and both inspired me to do my best work in the gym and on the road. Not that I've achieved much in athletics. I'm just an amateur. But I enjoy training, both aerobically and anaerobically, that is, with cardio equipment (like treadmills, elliptical machines and arc trainers) and with weights and Smith Machines. The video shows Arnold in the gym. You have to love his dedication.

Binh Duong (VNA) – Brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) is considering a 7 million USD investment in expanding production in its two factories in Vietnam, the firm's Vice President for Asia Pacific South Ken Hitchcock said in a meeting with leader of southern Binh Duong province on October 3.
AB InBev plans to reduce water consumption and increase use of green energy, as part of its goal to protect environment towards sustainable development, Hitchcock told Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Tran Thanh Liem at the meeting.
The Belgian company sets to have all of its brewers worldwide use clean energy by 2025, and to this end, it will equip the two breweries in Vietnam with new power facilities, he added.
Welcoming AB InBev's plan, Chairman Liem said its move fits the province's development targets and investment policies that facilitate projects in hi-tech, environmentally-friendly and value-added industries and services.
He later updated his guest on the province's economic development, saying Binh Duong remains on the top of Vietnam's attractive investment destinations with 2 billion USD worth of foreign direct investment poured into the province this year.
He hoped that the firm would expand production and introduce foreign investors to do business in the province.-VNA

What's That Big Cat's Name?
Recognize the lion featured in Citrin Law Firm's new television commercial? It's Simba, a 5-year-old African lion who lives at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo in Gulf Shores.
The black-maned male, weighing in at around 450 pounds, and Head Keeper Cyndi Johnson appeared along with personal injury attorney Andy Citrin in the ad. Although Simba — named after "The Lion King" character — has a generally sweet disposition, Johnson said she was nervous while filming scenes of the riled big cat.
Simba wasn't acting, she said. He was exhibiting instinctual aggressive behavior. "Feeding time is a very dangerous time," Johnson said. "They're a totally different animal when there's meat involved than when meat's not involved."
The highly aggressive behavior is instinctual, as the big cats have to be protective of their kills in the wild, Johnson said.
Once Simba is done with his meat and licks clean the place where the meat had been, he settles back to his normal self, she said.
The big cat's response to being fed a bottle filled with Vitamin D milk is totally different. He doesn't get worked up at all but rather becomes "sweet," which allowed for the bottle-feeding scenes Simba and Johnson shot for the commercial.
Simba came to Gulf Shores from Chestatee Wildlife Preserve & Zoo in Dahlonega, Ga., Johnson said. "I got him when he was 3 months, and I hand-reared him," she said.
He is one-quarter Barbary lion, a black-maned subspecies of African lion that had been abundant in northern Africa, Johnson said. The largest animals of the species, Barbaries were the lions the Romans used to fight the gladiators and persecute the early Christians, she said.
Sadly, the subspecies has become extinct in the wild, Johnson said. However, the zoo is hopeful that eventually Simba and his cagemate, C.C., can produce a litter with even more Barbary blood.
C.C. was named in honor of beloved former employee Cathleen Curley, affectionately called "Miss Kitty" because she loved big cats, Johnson said. Miss Kitty had died shortly before the female African lion — who has twice the Barbary ancestry as Simba — came to the zoo as a cub from Chestatee Wildlife Preserve & Zoo, she said.
While she had never before appeared in an ad, Johnson said she wasn't a television novice. Following Hurricane Ivan, she appeared in Animal Planet's "The Little Zoo That Could" — she was with the monkey — as well as in hurricane-related coverage on the National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel and Weather Channel's Storm Stories.
