I see your JC/Qyzen, and raise you femsmuggler/Guss! Aw yeah I went there. No spoilers.
I seemed to have the worst luck. Whenever I really,
deserved a drink, one of my exes would inevitably walk into the cantina and make my day worse.
It was my first day on Corellia, and I already hated it. It didn't take much whining from Guss for me to agree that we could take a break for a drink. I almost immediately regretted it.
"Crap!" I hissed, turning my back to the door. "It's my ex-boyfriend. He never leaves me alone."
"Do we have to leave?"
"No," I whispered. "We can't get out without him seeing me." I racked my brain, trying to think of a way to evade him. If I couldn't evade him, maybe I could get rid of him. "Play along with me, all right?"
"Cardani? Is that you?" came the voice of my nightmares.
I spun around and put on my brightest smile. "Hi! Wow, it's been awhile, hasn't it?! This is my boyfriend." I threw an arm around Guss, hoping we looked convincing.
"This is your boyfriend?" My ex looked like he didn't believe a word I was saying. Maybe he was starting to figure out that I frequently lied to get him to leave me alone.
"Oh, yeah," I said. "We're so in love. We're going to get married and have a whole mess of green fish babies."
"Also, I'm a Jedi," said Guss. I stepped on his foot. This was not the Lying Free-For-All Hour.
"I'm not sure if I believe you." That was an improvement; he usually believed more or less anything. Not exactly the smartest man I'd been with.
"I love her," said Guss in an exaggerated voice. He was a terrible actor. "She's so green."
I nodded sagely. "It's true."
"Come on, Cardani," said my ex, crossing his arms. "I don't believe for a second you two are together." I could see a flicker of doubt in his eyes, though. We just had to push this over the edge and I could be rid of him forever.
"We are, I'll prove it." I turned to Guss and our eyes met in what I could only describe as mutual terror. I hoped my ex was dumb enough to mistake it for torrid desire. Considering how I'd felt during our relationship, he probably thought that was normal for me.
I screwed my eyes shut, took a deep breath, and planted my lips on Guss'.
I really wish I were drunk right now,
I thought. He was like a little brother to me; this was disgusting. Like kissing your family.
I broke away and sighed in relief, smiling at my ex. "See? Now do you believe me?"
He looked utterly horrified. "I...guess so. Well...I'm happy for you." He was backing away as though he'd seen a ghost. "I've...got a really important call. I'll see you around."
I watched him leave, finally able to let my body relax. "Thanks so much...I think that scared him away for life."
For an excruciatingly long minute, we were silent. We couldn't even look at each other. I figured this could be in the running for the most awkward sixty seconds of my life. There were few things more embarrassing than having to kiss your platonic friend.
"Let's never, ever talk about this again," I finally said.
Guss looked relieved. We clinked our glasses together in agreement. "Never."
"We will snatch purpose from the jaws of futility...are you ready to wreak some havoc?"

ISSUES FOR YOUR TOP-OF-MIND AWARENESS…0000 by Jeff Hess
There are a number of stories that I come back to again and again. My friend Eric Vessels once wrote that I do a consistently good job of following up, and Scene Magazine said that my daily posts remind the public of Cleveland controversies long after the local media gets bored and moves on.
So, that is what I'm attempting to do here with three stories: our ongoing conversation on Racism in America, the vital need to slam the brakes on Global Warming/Climate Change and the struggle to free Saudi blogger Raif Badawi.
While this post is stuck to the top of my blog as a constant reminder to my readers and myself, new stories on many other topics do appear below.
Enjoy. Think, Discuss, Act…

In this paper, we present delay allocation strategies that minimize the total transmit power in a multihop wireless network. The focus is on guaranteeing an end-to-end average delay bound for a single variable-bit-rate flow on a multihop fading channel. We first compute an analytical approximation for the transmit power that is required to send a variable-bit-rate source over a finite-state fading channel. We then use this approximation to derive a low-complexity and near-optimal delay allocation method for multihop networks when the fading processes on the multiple hops are independent. Properties of the optimal delay allocation are also studied; in the special case of a Gaussian network, the optimal delay allocation strategy is completely characterized. The tradeoff between single-hop transmission and multihop transmission is studied under an end-to-end delay constraint.

This book, written by 10 or 12 thriller writers is an amazing feat. That each of these authors could receive the manuscript, in turn, and have no other communication with the other authors as they write their part, is pretty incredible.
The book is consistent, believeable and exciting. It was a pleasure to read this book.
I love BOOKS and reading, listening is as good when I can't look at the book. I listen every minute driving.
"Three and a half Stars"
The plot was a bit choppy and the characters a little undeveloped but that is expected when a dozen different writers, write a chapter each.
Even though I thought the book was simple and shallow I still liked the general direction the book went. Not all book have to be deep and involved, sometimes I like a little fluff.
The main reason I listened to this book is the writing experiment with so many different writers, many of whom I have not read before. The narrator did a fine job, good voice, infection and tone, and had different voices for each character.
If they did this again I would probably listen again.
"An excellent freebie !"
This book was included as a bonus with my sign-up... and it remains to date one of the best books I've downloaded ! The idea of all the differant authors was weird at first, buy the differances in writing style whilst keeping a storyline going really worked ! A little slow at the beginning, give yourself just a few chapters more... then you'll be hooked :-)
"I was surprised"
I did not order this book for quite a while after it's release I would look at it then order a different one. While I love all the individual authors, I felt the book would not be cohesive; that so many voices would ruin the story. I was wrong. I looked forward to each new chapter even found myself driving around the block to extend my listening time.
"Good book"
This was an interesting listen. You never knew where the authors were going to take the next chapter or how some characters were going to affect the story.
Overall, it was put together very well and I would recommend it to any looking for a good thriller with lots of plot twists.
Excellent! We were surprised at how good this was and that the authors were able to keep the common theme sowell.
I am not usually a "thriller" purchaser. The idea of all these writers intrigued me. It was great. Grabbed me from the very beginning. The idea of all these different minds threading their way through this really really good story. Great job in every area; writing, narration, production. Thank you everyone. Thoroughly enjoyable.
"Good Thriller"
This was a good suspense thriller. It held my attention, but I did get confused at the beginning of the book with all the twists, turns & character introductions. It did start flowing better mid-way through the story. Alfred Molina did a fantastic job narrating. Great voices and accents.
"Compelling and enjoyable"
The format of this unusual book and the writing both add to it's interesting nature. The story was written chapter by chapter featuring different authors in a sort of literary daisy chain. This technique resulted in a very involved and engaging story that is packed full of twists and turns.
Read by the excellent Alfred Molina, using his many different "voices" really adds to the experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys action packed adventures or thrillers (not gorey thrillers!) A thoroughly enjoyable listen!
"Really Enjoyable"
Loved having the contributions of different authors to give each chapter a different flavor! Put together another book!

Every year scores of official aid agencies, foreign ministries, international organizations, transnational non-governmental organizations, private foundations, and for-profit development organizations design, fund, and implement thousands of projects aimed at advancing democracy in over one hundred countries, spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 billion. Multiply this annual activity by the fact that such assistance has been underway now for more than thirty years (although it was a smaller field in its early years) and it becomes evident that the total amount of activity making up the domain of democracy assistance is enormous.
Article Review 58 on "Self-deterrence: Nuclear Weapons and the enduring credibility challenge." International Journal 71:1
T.V. Paul has captured something both intangible and frustrating in debates over nuclear deterrence: the disconnect between strategic and moral thinking. Anyone who has worked on these issues is — or should be — struck by the almost casual way in which planners and strategists speak about the use of nuclear weapons, especially against small nuclear powers or even against non-nuclear states about to cross the nuclear threshold. It is not unusual to hear the use of five, ten, or twenty tactical nuclear weapons being mooted in various scenarios, or even to contemplate the employment of a small number of strategic strikes.
Article Review 57 on "Who's Afraid of the Bomb? The Role of Nuclear Non-Use Norms in Confrontations between Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Opponents." Security Studies 24:4
Paul C. Avey has done international security scholars a tremendous service with his research on the role played by nuclear non-use norms in military confrontations. In "Who's Afraid of the Bomb?," Avery takes on a key question that has seen surprisingly little attention to date: to what extent do non-nuclear states disregard the credibility of nuclear weapons due to normative considerations? After all, we have good reason to think that norms influence the desirability and use of nuclear weapons. No nuclear weapon has been detonated over an enemy target since 1945. Only a handful of states actually possess nuclear weapons today. And those that aggressively seek nuclear weapons—like North Korea—have such low standing among many other states as to have pariah status. It thus stands to reason that no state would want to commit the outrage associated with delivering the first nuclear attack since the Second World War. Adversaries—especially non-nuclear adversaries—should discount being targets of such an attack in fights against nuclear-armed states.
ISSF Roundtable 8-17 on The Dictator's Army: Effectiveness in Authoritarian Regimes
Scholars of political violence readily delve into policy and strategy but seldom below those levels of analysis. They usually consign concern with operations and tactics to military buffs. As Carl von Clausewitz argued, however, strategic success depends on and is ultimately reducible to tactical success.[1] So predicting how military success or failure affect political and strategic outcomes in war is naturally driven to the operational and tactical levels.
Roundtable 8-16 on Restraint: A New Foundation for U.S. Grand Strategy
There are many international relations theorists in academia who opine on world order and grand strategy. There are many policy analysts in think tanks with deep understanding of military programs, budgets, and operations. There are not many, however, who combine both sorts of expertise in equal depth.

ISSF Forum 14 on "Obama's World: Judging His Foreign Policy Record." Foreign Affairs, 94:5
Foreign Affairs recently featured a forum on "Obama's World: Judging His Foreign Policy Record." Gideon Rose, editor of the journal, started the discussion with an overall positive assessment of President Barack Obama's foreign policy through August 1, 2015 and the agreement with Iran on its nuclear program.[1] The Islamic State (ISSIL) seized Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, in June 2014 and emerged as a serious threat in the Syrian civil war as well as in Iraq. As the title of the article, "What Obama Gets Right: Keep Calm and Carry the Liberal Order On," indicates, Rose favorably emphasizes Obama's "grasp of the big picture," his perspective as an "ideological liberal with a conservative temperament," and his determination to reverse the mistakes of the George W. Bush administration. The Bush Whitehouse, Rose suggests, made many mistakes in the first term, following policies that were "deeply flawed in both conception and execution" (2, 6). Rose concludes that Obama was "better at strategy than implementation" in his focus on preserving the core of the liberal world order by "downsizing the U.S. global role" and reducing the commitment of U.S. resources, particularly U.S. ground military forces, to peripheral areas (10, 7).
Article Review 56 on "Hard Thinking about Hard and Easy Cases in Security Studies." Security Studies 24:3 (July-September 2015)
American political scientists who perform case studies straddle two very different strategies of inquiry. On the one hand, they seek to understand politics in terms of narratives that explore closely the events in a single historical episode. On the other, they work within a disciplinary framework that emphasizes the statement of general theories, the treatment of events as samples drawn from a larger population, and hypothesis testing using statistical inference as a central activity. That these two perspectives are deeply in tension has been recognized since quantitative social science began in the early twentieth century, and has been the source of seemingly never-ending disciplinary controversy.[1]
Roundtable 8-15 on A Sense of Power: The Roots of America's Global Role
John Thompson has been thinking deeply about American politics and foreign policy for almost fifty years. Previously, he has written luminously about the Progressive era and Woodrow Wilson. Now, he has integrated the conclusions of several important articles that he has written over the years and congealed his thinking about the motivations undergirding America's assumption of global responsibilities.
Roundtable 8-14 on Democracy Promotion, National Security and Strategy: Foreign Policy under the Reagan Administration
In Democracy Promotion, National Security and Strategy: Foreign Policy under the Reagan Administration, Robert Pee explores the United States' attempts to promote democracy abroad during the Reagan administration. The title of Pee's book captures a central challenge Washington faced with this issue not only during the 1980s but also throughout the Cold War after 1945. Security considerations frequently clashed with efforts to promote democracy, representative government, and human rights versus authoritarian regimes that were allied with the U.S. around the globe. After an overview of the emergence of democracy promotion and its relationship to U.S. Cold War policies under containment and a discussion of problems that disrupted cooperation between Washington and private groups as well as a decline in support for modernization as an effective solution, Pee focuses on debate within the Reagan administration on how to integrate the promotion of democracy with U.S. foreign policy goals, most notably the perception of increased challenges of communism aided by the Soviet Union spreading in the Southern hemisphere. In several chapters Pee explores the debate within the Reagan administration over how to respond to issues such as the effort by the Polish government in 1981 to ban the Solidarity labor movement and whether the effort to promote democracy should be aimed at reinforcing Washington's national-security goal of challenging the Soviet Union and regimes identified as Communist allies of Moscow from Fidel Castro's Cuba to the new Sandinista regime in Nicaragua and the Soviet- and Cuban-backed government in Angola.
Article Review 55 on "Process Tracing: A Symposium." Security Studies 24:2
For scholars engaging in qualitative analysis, the concept of 'process tracing' comes in many shapes and forms. In its most basic form, process tracing refers to a set of procedures that uses qualitative evidence in an attempt to establish a causal relationship between one or more explanatory variables and a dependent variable. Notwithstanding the common use of this conventional term in scholarly work in international relations, we still lack conceptual clarity about what 'good process tracing' genuinely entails, how to utilize it best in qualitative research, and what its limitations are. This is unfortunate given that one of the advantages of case studies is their potential for illuminating causal mechanisms. Process tracing, in particular, is one of the most useful procedures available to test causality using qualitative evidence. For exactly these reasons, this symposium is of significant importance both for scholars who already believe (mistakenly or not) that the evidence they present amounts to 'process tracing,' as well as those who wish to learn how to use this important technique in their future qualitative work.[2]Continue reading

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 229 reviews
Stay was last minute, after a tough day driving.
Typical Holiday Inn. Had queen beds, and updated room. Nice restaurant/pub by about a mile away, the Peacock Inn.
A better than standard room for express. Comfy bed. Food pretty basic choice for evening meal. I usually try to stay at this hotel when working in the area.
picked this as best price among the very few hotels that let me bring a pet. It is in the 'business park' and not accessible to shopping, restaurants, or hardly anything w/o a car. The room, like a like of hotels.com rooms, was a little weird. But any shortcomings of the facilities and neighborhood were more than made-up for by the wonderful staff! There were usually 2 who work the front desk, but they also keep the small bar, keep breakfast buffet stocked, etc, etc. Whatever was asked of them, they took care of it & with haste & good humor. Because I brought a pet I didn't want housekeeping to come in, but they regularly stopped by to see if I needed anything.
Rooms close to the main road noisy. Cooked breakfast poor.

Through its new Transit Access Fund, Ohio-based Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will make bus tokens available at a significant discount to local social service agencies for financially disadvantaged clients who need jobs. Agencies can receive a discount of 75 cents off the token bulk rate of $1.50 per token through the program. This initiative will provide increased transportation access to agencies that deliver job accessibility programs to those hit hardest by the economic downturn in greater Dayton. The community fund is designed to ease the transportation challenges faced by low-income job seekers to obtain and maintain employment. The access fund supports work trips, job training and workforce development programs.Agencies that receive tokens from the Transit Access Fund will distribute them free of charge to recipients. Non-profit agencies that wish to obtain the discounted tokens must establish an RTA token distribution program. Once an application is approved by an advisory committee, an agreement between the agency and RTA will be signed. The Transit Access program is partially funded through the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission by federal Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) money, which subsidizes transit to critical job and job training destinations for low-income residents. Private funds also are being raised to match the government grants.
Of the 20 people injured, none were considered serious and 13 were transported by New York City EMS to hospitals.
Riders using a desktop computer, smart phone device or traditional telephone can schedule their pick-up and desired drop-off locations: reducing their wait time, arriving at their destination faster, and increasing the overall rider experience.
The advanced Driver Assist System, utilizing a licensed GPS technology developed by the University of Minnesota, provides feedback to the driver regarding lane position – via graphic driver alert displays, virtual mirror, vibrating seat and actuated steering.
In an overall business review, it was determined this division no longer fit in ABC's overall growth strategy. The company will continue to provide parts and warranty support for Ameritrans products.

OMG, we loved this. I did do the steaming of the clams first, took the out and covered them with foil, them preceded with the recipe from step one. I seasoned with salt and pepper then kicked it up with a splash of lemon and a sprinkle of cayenne, this recipe hit the spot for my craving for linguini and clam sauce, absolutely delightful!
I love Linguine with clam sauce and has all the ingredients on hand. I'm glad I did because this is a great recipe for a classic. My only substition was to use whole wheat spaghetti (it's what I had) but equally delicious and satisfying. Thanks for sharing. I'm posting pictures.
Just made this, very enjoyable. I made a few adjustments, mainly used half the wine and only 3/4 cup of cream, still very delicious. Also I used only canned clams as I was too lazy to wait for fresh ones to cook!! Will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe :)

United Nations Security Council resolution 1016, adopted unanimously on 21 September 1995, after recalling all resolutions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia, the Council called for greater efforts to reach a comprehensive political solution to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and demanded that both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia end their offensive in Western Bosnia.[1]
The Council was concerned that the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina was a humanitarian crisis, particularly due to recent fighting, loss of life, a large number of refugees and displaced persons and suffering amongst the civilian population as a result of military actions. It also deplored the casualties suffered by the Danish peacekeepers and sent condolences to the families of those who had died. In this regard all parties were urged to cease hostilities and observe a ceasefire.
Member States involved in promoting an overall peaceful settlement in the region were called upon to intensify their efforts in conjunction with humanitarian aid agencies, noting that there could be no military solution to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Secretary-General was required to provide additional information on the humanitarian situation to the Council as soon as possible.

my daughter is very picky when it comes to her jeans.. they have to be "pretty" with some kind of embroidery on them.. she likes them for that reason.. as a mom i like them because they are a great price and are very durable.. i also love the adjustable waistband inside so they fit longer.. these are a great buy.
Hope they are online again for this price.

Sibling rivalry among three faiths
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are connected as older and younger siblings. It's an asymmetrical relationship.
Protestants and Jews after Nostra Aetate
It was the shortest Vatican II document but among the most influential. Whatever its limits, it was a watershed in Christian-Jewish relations.
Christian Scripture and Other Religions
Engagement in serious, respectful conversation with other religious traditions is important and urgent. Leo Lefebure details why it's also difficult.
What the Prodigal Son story doesn't mean
The Prodigal Son is often read to mean that God loves sinners, whereas the Jews thought God only loved the righteous. This makes no sense.
The conflict over divestment seems to divide Presbyterians more deeply than past struggles. Old friends are barely speaking to one another.
Orthodox rabbis reckon with Christianity
One rabbi noted that almost all heads of U.S. churches have visited Israel. And many of them have rethought attempts to convert Jews.

MANILA, Philippines -- Actress Nikki Valdez said she's happy being a single parent but she's still open the possibility that she might get married again. Valdez, a single mother to daughter Olivia Ysabelle, said it's too early talk about marriage after her separation with Filipino-Canadian husband Christopher Lina in 2010. "Sa ngayon hindi. But sabi nga nila bata ka pa. Kung mayroon nga naman na darating na somebody who will love me and will love my daughter, I'm open," she said. "It's going to be a God's gift to me. Bonus na ng buhay ko 'yon for sure kasi happy na din talaga ako sa anak ko," she added. In 2007, Valdez married Lina and settled in Canada. Speculations about their separation swirled after the actress returned to show business in 2009. Valdez cited "differences" as the main reason for their separation. She also denied speculations that she was physically and mentally abused by Lina. Currently, Valdez is part of ABS-CBN's afternoon series "Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo" with Shaina Magdayao and Jake Cuenca.

Is this good English?
Falling into the ocean, the drop dies as a drop, but not as water.
Or should I say:
When it falls into the ocean, the drop dies...
Is this good English?
Or should I say:
Starting a sentence with a verb in an -ing form is perfectly valid and acceptable. If properly used, it sounds dramatic and professional.
As for what you propose - it sounds fine, but I'd omit the first comma, thus writing:
Definitely correct to use the latter, although both are technically correct according to english rules...

A Cartographic Analysis of the Dream Stateby Pat Murphy
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Traveling across the Martian polar cap, the second TransPolar Expedition is tracing the shape of the hidden lands beneath the ice and snow. Sita, the expedition�s cartographer, has a talent for interpreting the shades and squiggles that the computer produces from satellite photos and sonic recordings. She takes ambiguous data and makes a clear and precise map of lands no one has ever seen.
But Sita knows that maps are black-and-white portraits of a world that exists in shades of gray and, like cartographers before her, she knows that dragons lurk beyond the edges of every map. At night, in the darkness of her dreams, she believes in the yeti, the messengers from the secret lands, the dark-eyed dream beasts that haunt the crevasses and move as softly as the blowing snow.
The world is not all that it seems on the surface. Beneath the polar ice lies danger and discovery.
A novelette.

Brought to you by OBS reviewer Angie The main character, Sita, has learned the skill of cartography from her formal education. But what makes her the best at her craft is her intuition, and what has been passed down to her through the generations of her family going back to her great grandfather who spent his life as a tour guide in the Himalayas… always searching for – but never finding – the Yeti. As part of a scientific team on Mars, Sita searches for her own Yeti in a very unlikely place and finally discovers that maybe her great-grandfather did see his Yeti afterall! This short story just didn't grasp me. . It was a really interesting idea about what scientists might find on Mars, but in the end I felt no connection to any of the characters. I didn't feel like I was there in the action. This review and more at openbooksociety dot com
This review is based on the copy provided to me by the publisher, Untreed Reads, on July 30, 2012, in exchange for my fair, honest, and impartial review, via Goodreads Group Making Connections. Review of A Cartographic Analysis of the Dream State by Pat Murphy 5 Stars A literate and lyrical exploration of the polar cap of the planet Mars, of the art and science of cartography (map-making) and of the human psyche and its capacity for imaginative dreaming and projection, "A Cartographic Analysis of the Dream State" simultaneously intrigues and soothes, leaving readers blinking at the end and wondering why it is over so soon. Sita, a cartographer of the Martian landscape, is the descendant of Tibetan refugees, raised in India by a university-educated father, but she holds close the stories and legends passed on of the great-grandfather, a mountain guide in Tibet, who led expeditions on searches for the yeti-the snow creature sometimes called "the abominable snowman." Sita believes yeti are real, not so much as they are pictured, but as inhabitants of the dreaming state, nocturnal messengers; and she believes the polar regions of Mars are just as likely to sport yeti as are the Himalayas of Tibet, if she dreams them into being-and just maybe, she will be proved accurate in thinking so.

View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 10/28/2002
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
This book explores the role of written and oral communication in Greece and is the first systematic and sustained treatment at this level. It examines the recent theoretical debates about literacy and orality and explores the uses of writing and oral communication, and their interaction, in ancient Greece. It sets the significance of written and oral communication as much as possible in their social and historical context, and stresses the specifically Greek characteristics in their use. It draws together the results of recent studies and suggests further avenues of inquiry. All ancient evidence is translated.
