Office Slang

We've heard them before (some from the Wired), but it's fun reading them again.
Political popcorn
There has been some funding movement among the Democratic part.
You can read about it on The Next Hurrah or on the Swing State Project. Please remember these are sites slightly biased toward the Democratic Party, so it sounds a lot better than it is.
Translation: The Republicans are on full retreat and are cutting their losses to consolidate their funds to do damage control. However, the movement that is occurring is in the Senate, not the House. This is relevant because the odds are very, very low that the Democratic party will regain the Senate (Democrats need to win almost all the contested races) but around 50-50 that they can regain the House at this point. They need to regain at least one to have any referendum on the Bush "America as an Empire/we create our own reality" doctrine.Continue reading Political popcorn
Web APIs with PHP
I recently received the following book from Wiley:
I haven't had a chance to read it yet so this will be a placeholder for a future review.
I lost all my photos today.
The net result is I lost about one and a half months of photos permanently (around 1000 images), about six months of originals that haven't been burned yet to disk, lost days of work, and shot up my entire backup regiment.
I'm also one crash/corruption from losing everything.Continue reading Argh!

Torture and civilization
"Ensuring torture is totally banned under American law is a touchstone issue that defines our very civilization, to include its continued embrace of Englightenment values, a belief in progress in the face of adversity, and ensuring that our most odious enemies are not successful in having us sully our human rights leadership, one so hard earned through the Cold War."
—Greg Djerejian, Neoconservative, "Has Waterboarding been banned?"

The Starship Zend-erprise
Thank you again for submitting a proposal for speaking at the Zend/PHP Conference in October. We have had an overwhelming response to our Call for Papers and, as a result, have had a difficult time in deciding which proposals to accept. After examining your proposal carefully, I am writing to inform you that it was not accepted in the first review cycle. However, we are placing it on a waiting list for further consideration.
Most importantly, thank you for your patience as we investigate expanding the Conference schedule and thank you very much for submitting a proposal to speak at the Conference.
Ahh, the standard rejection letter! But how I got it is anything but standard and that's what I want to muse about in this article.Continue reading The Starship Zend-erprise

How to Effectively Play Online Bingo
Do you love playing bingo? You should rejoice now as you can play bingo online without having to go to an actual casino. There are literally hundreds of bingo-related games online which are accessible and available daily without any break ins. What you will only need is an optimal computer that comes with a modem. The modem is used as a way to connect to the internet; otherwise you will never be able to play online bingo. The effective ways to play online bingo is to know the basics and get yourself to familiarize with the general rules. You should also know the tips on how you can keep up with the other players of the game and lastly, how to collect your winnings in the safest way.
While there are online casinos these days that do offer their membership for free, most of these online gambling sites need you to pay for it in order to successfully open an account. However, most of these online gambling sites do make use of your money into credits or virtual money that you get to use when you finally play online bingo. They also provide bonuses and other enticing rewards that will make your experience with them worth your while. This is why there are a lot of gamblers that stick to one online gambling site not only because of their reputation but because they offer some of the best rewards that no other online gambling sites can offer.
The players of online bingo mostly compete for the prizes in the free games. Prior to playing any of the game in the online bingo sites, you will need to sign up for an account and a user name. Make sure that you give a valid email address and that your personal information that they will require from your are correct. Failure to do so will make it hard for you to collect your winnings. Most of these new bingo sites are the straight-line bingo or the coverall. Every player is given 3 cards each game. These are virtual cards and they pop up in a new window that comes with a chat area and tote board. The pattern that players have to follow appears as well, mostly at the upper right of the window of your computer. The computer will call the numbers randomly. As the numbers are being called, the players "mark" off the numbers by left-clicking on the virtual card. When the card of the player matches the exact pattern shown, the player needs to hit the "Bingo" button.
Online bingo seems to be the safest gambling game online because you already know beforehand how much you are going to win. The stakes are not so high with this game either, although the cash prizes that players have won will definitely be transferred to their account. For straight-line bingo type of game, it may probably be worth $20. Bingo can have one or more players, so if there is more than one winner in a game, the cash prize will evenly be split amongst them. The lower the cash prize gets the more winners there are.
Beer Vs. Gout
I am aware you do not need to hear it… but it is accurate, beer is extremely awful for gout.
OK, You Will Not Give Up Beer. Now What?
In the event you are scanning this, I am thinking you do not need to give your beer up. You actually should however. But, I am not planning to preach (I am certain there are enough people telling you to quit drinking already!)
So you also do not need to give up beer, and if you're like me, you should take other precautions to ensure that you do not have another bout with gout!
A physician will prescribe medicine for pain and the inflammation. I presume prevention is a much better strategy to use.
There are excellent novels and natural products available which will allow you to maintain your gout at bay (a reasonable warning however… they will all help one to give up beer!). They talk about all natural treatments and nutritional supplements. There are loads and lots of info that can be found.
Would not it be wonderful if they made a beer low! They really did in Japan. Do not get too excited though, it's assume to taste terrible!
You really ought to give it up until they do make a great tasting beer low in purines! I am aware of, I understand I am preaching! Anyways, should you not give beer up begin eating a gout favourable diet and drink lots and lots of water.
For more information about eliminating gout eternally you need to see
You will learn THE WAY YOU CAN control your gout!
I've been a gout sufferer for a long time.
Craft Beer
The craft beer industry has certainly come a long way since its beginnings forty years back. Home brewing became legalized on the federal level when President Carter signed HR1337 on October 14, 1978. This act corrected an oversight of the 21st Amendment but neglected to mention home brewing. The effective date can truly be viewed as the 'birthday' of these drinks that were distinctive and popular.
What, exactly, is craft beer? The Brewer's Association has established several characteristics that define what this libation is:
– Little. Today's microbreweries make their products in small mountains that are usually accepted as six million barrels or less. This can be a primary reflection of the sources of the hobby and the house brewers who just made their beverages in small numbers.
– Individualistic. Techniques and the methods to attract new customers represent each and every company's style and tastes instead of following a large, version that is commercialized.
– Traditional Yet Revolutionary. Here is the trademark characteristic that sets craft beer apart from other alcoholic drinks. Brewers utilize conventional ingredients (a cereal grain including barley, hops, yeast and water) and adding distinguishing non-traditional components, including oranges or pumpkin, to develop new taste profiles.
These innovators additionally take several of the older fashions, for example ales, bitters, lagers, and stouts, and reinterpret them into unknown and new types. These spirits don't have any precedent to compare them to and, consequently, provide consumers with new experiences in taste.
– Community Participation. The purveyors of those drinks have a tendency to be far more concentrated and involved together with the communities in which they reside and work. These connections can range from sponsorships to charity activities, in addition to some other forms of philanthropy. Oftentimes, the brewery's title can even reveal where it is located.
– Impartial. Keeping a great space from larger alcoholic beverage conglomerates' control, in addition to non-beverage entities seeking to purchase an ownership stake in the business, is an important feature of those small brewers. By embracing their individuality, companies can maintain the integrity of procedures and their products.
By some actions, most Americans live within ten miles of an institution that sells and makes craft beers. The on-going development of products that are new, refinement of brewing methods, and creative genius of the businesses supply clients with many new and fascinating assortments to encounter.
Even as these microbreweries thrive, the following generation is waiting in the wings-the nanobrewery. Typically a one-person operation, these "scaled down" micro breweries make smaller batches and marketplace into a much smaller place. In 2014, with craft beer accounting for 11% of the marketplace, those custom libations' futurity is quite bright.
Using a Boiler to brew your Beer
In almost any bathroom the boiler is predominant. This brings in the need for ensuring you decide on stuff and a boiler whose ability are most suited to the harshness which is included with all the brewing procedure. Others settle among other things that can function as a boiler for pool filters and soda and beer kegs.
Easy cleaning – When selecting your boiler constantly consider how potential it'll be for appropriate cleaning to split column segments of your boiler. Hygiene needs to be your top priority in order to consistently make quality beer without hurting your visitors in almost any serious manner in terms of health can be involved, when brewing.
Quality brewing that is tight – The building of your boiler must be just right for flavour and great quality ultimately.
Stuff that is boiler – It is necessary because it may decide presentable your boiler appears, its particular suitability for the demanding work it's going to be subjected to and how easy it's to clean. Stainless steel is the most effective stuff for the boiler. The reason being it is immune to boiling corrosive liquid effects and is simple to wash. It may nevertheless not be cheap, even when working with parts and pieces to put your boiler. There are, nevertheless stainless steel things it is possible to conveniently use with this function.
Milk cans: Stainless steel milk cans can easily be bought with their flat tops thereby making attaching the column rather simple. The handles make moving simple and they've a fantastic glow, which makes them seem really hygienic.
Beer kegs -you may also convert beer kegs to serve your requirements. They need quite a lot of change to produce them simple to wash and charged although also, they are easily accessible. They're for sale in various sizes; therefore it is possible to select the right size for the brewing so long as it offers enough equilibrium throughout the procedure to you. A keg with inbuilt handles round the rim is perfect for portability and handle convenience.
Beer brewing could be interesting, particularly when you've got a love for this. Using recipes, ingredients and the correct gear, you'll adore that which you are able to reach along with your brewing.

Hi I love this theme but the light blue post titles I want to change to a darker color how do I do this?
Hi I love this theme but the light blue post titles I want to change to a darker color how do I do this?
Glad you like the theme!
First, I'd suggest creating a child theme for your customizations so they won't be lost in future theme updates. I do offer child theme templates for Scrappy on my themes website if you need one.
Then, you can add some CSS to your child theme's style.css to change the color:
.page_title a:link, .page_title a:visited, .page_title a:hover, .page_title a:active {
color: #000000; //change this to the color you'd like
I highly recommend using a program like Firebug for CSS changes like this--you can Inspect the theme in your browser to find which classes apply to page elements so you can override them in your child theme.
I adore this theme! I can't decide which of the headers I prefer - I think I'll have to alternate every week or so!
I can't work out how to delete the light blue page title. I just want the page to start with my text rather than a title...
Glad you're enjoying the theme! To remove the post/page titles, use the instructions posted above, but replace the
color: #000000; part with
display: none;

Greater Lafourche Port Commission sued over fatal crash
Published: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 7:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 7:11 p.m.
The parents of a man killed in a boat accident in Bayou Lafourche last year are suing the Greater Lafourche Port Commission.
The accident took place just south of the Leon Theriot Floodgate when a boat piloted by Richard Griffin Jr., 29, struck a cluster of pilings on the eastern side of the waterway. The pilings were put there by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission to give commercial vessels a mooring point while waiting for access through the floodgate, according to South Lafourche Levee District General Manager Windell Curole.
Shortly after 5 a.m. July 24 last year, Griffin launched his 16-foot, flat-bottom boat at the Tidewater Dock just south of the floodgate, according to the lawsuit.
Griffin was headed north on the bayou when his boat crashed into the pilings. He was thrown headfirst into the pilings and fell back into his boat.
The crash left Griffin with injuries to his head, face, neck, arms and legs. He was transported to the Lady of the Sea General Hospital in Cut Off before being flown to the Interim LSU Hospital in New Orleans. He died six hours after the crash.
The pilings were marked with signs stating "piling clusters for emergency use only. Contact harbor police before mooring."
The lawyers representing his parents, Richard Griffin Sr. and Marion Griffin, claim the pilings were not marked with proper signs, lights, signals or other navigational warnings. They also claim other acts of negligence will be shown at trial.
They are suing for damages for the "pre-death physical and mental pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses and funeral expenses." As representatives of Griffin's estate, his parents claim they are owed damages for the past, present and future loss of support, services, inheritance and funeral expenses.
Lawyers for the Port Commission filed a response claiming Griffin's own negligence was the cause of the accident, the hazards were known to Griffin and he violated navigational rules.
The lawsuit also claims Griffin was intoxicated at the time of the accident, thus nullifying the claims under state law.
Lawyers for the Port Commission and its Executive Director Chett Chiasson couldn't be reached for comment. Lawyers representing the Griffin family also couldn't be reached.

Sky 3D to stay free for HD customers
Good news 3D fans, Sky's 3D channel is likely to remain free (well, free if you're on the HD package at least) for a considerable time, according to the channel's director John Cassy, who spoke with Pocket-lint.
"We're quite a long way ahead of the curve, it's the first proper 3D channel that's launched in Europe", he said.
"We've got a lot of great customers and it's a way of really rewarding our most valuable customers. It's available to anybody with a box who wants to take a top package".
Cassy was also keen to stress that there was more to Sky's 3D than just sport. He promised that top movies would be on the way, but stopped short of naming specific ones (i.e. Avatar). "We are talking to all the studios", he said.
However, for those of you hoping to see a bit of Sky 3D action, via Sky Player on your 3D laptop, we've got a bit of bad news - there are no plans to port the platform as of yet.
When questioned on the subject Cassy replied: "Not at this point no. What we're focused on is delivering 3D to people's living rooms. We're broadcasting a HD signal via a set-top box, and that's all we're focused on at the moment".
Cassy was speaking on the eve of an event Sky put on down at Greenwich to promote the premiere of The Universe: 7 Wonders of the Solar System. Ahead of the History Channel programme's airing, Sky 3D bought the solar system to life above London's sky line with nine giant illuminated helium filled balloons.
The Universe: 7 Wonders of the Solar System is part of the 3D entertainment line up for Sky and will air on 24 October at 9pm.
Sky 3D can be found on channel 217.

Experts take patients' questions
Published: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 6:48 p.m.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Information is still the best defense in the battle against breast cancer.
Mary Black Health System and the Cancer Centers of the Carolinas recently kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a panel followed by a candlelight walk and balloon release.
Last year, the American Cancer Society estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States. Of that number, 40,610 deaths are expected.
Breast cancer survivors and other women packed a large conference room in the hospital's breast health center for the discussion.
The panel consisted of Dr. Kim Hont A. Yee, staff physician at the Cancer Centers of the Carolinas; Dr. Larry Totten, radiologist for Mary Black's mammography program; Sandi Ceremuga, registered nurse and hospital community outreach manager; Allyson Helvie, chaplain for Interim Hospice; Kathryn Hyder, Mary Black breast navigator and research coordinator; and Carroll Sparks, breast cancer survivor and marketing director of Eden Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care.
Here are questions and answers presented in the panel.
Question: What are prognostic markers in a pathology report?
Yee: When breast cancer is diagnosed, we look for estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. These are proteins seen in the surface of the breast cancer cells.
Breast cancer positive for estrogen receptors means it is dependent on the female hormones. The female hormones are feeding the cancer. If you shut down the female hormones, it stops the cancer from spreading.
Breast cancer negative for estrogen receptors means it doesn't depend on the female hormones. No matter what you do, you can take out the ovaries and other reproductive organs and the cancer continues to grow.
Women with breast cancer negative for estrogen receptors have a bad outcome compared to those with cancer positive for estrogen receptors.
Another prognostic marker is used to find tumors with too much of a protein called HER-2. It will be in the pathology report. It is considered bad when you test positive for HER-2 because they keep on multiplying, but now days, we have a drug that blocks that. The drug herceptin is being used.
Q: Why chemotherapy before surgery?
Yee: If the cancer is so big and we want to shrink it, then we will use chemotherapy. In other cases, some women want to preserve the breast. If we are able to shrink the tumor, then we may be able to save the breast.
Another reason is if the chemotherapy shrinks the cancer, then we know it is working. The typical treatment is surgery to remove the cancer and some lymph nodes if they are involved. We use the chemotherapy after surgery to hunt down cancer cells still floating around that haven't been taken out by the surgery.
Q: What is the latest in breast cancer research?
Lee: The focus of treatment has always been how can we increase the survival rate. We try to invent new drugs and use different types of chemotherapy to literally extend the life expectancy for these women. We have been doing a good job with that.
The trend we are looking at now is can we do away with the chemotherapy or come up with drugs that are more targeted with less side effects. We know chemotherapy kills cancer, but it also kills some of the normal cells. Our trend in research now is why can't we target the cancer and save more of the normal cells.
Another trend in research is looking at the quality of life for these women.
Trials are going on that ask about the sexual function of women after chemotherapy and how are they performing after treatment.
Q: What are the benefits of film vs. digital mammography?
Totten: You rarely get a bad picture with a digital camera. Digital gives a higher resolution and higher contrast. You can catch more information on a digital plate. It gives more latitude and greater detail. You can see smaller and smaller objects within the breast with greater resolution and leading to earlier detection.
Q: What is the role of MRIs?
Totten: The main role of MRIs when it first came in was to look at patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. It was used to look at the same breast to better evaluate the extent of the cancer. An MRI is more sensitive than mammography. It also was used to look for cancer in the opposite breast because about three percent of the time, there is cancer in the opposite breast. Sometimes there is another cancer in the same breast. More and more people are getting MRIs in conjunction with their cancer workup.
It is also a tool to be used in conjunction with your other screening tools and are being used with higher risk patients.
Q: What is the role of the breast navigator and how does it benefit the patient?
Hyder: Every patient needs something different. Do they need emotional support? That's the main thing that it does for the patient, but the navigator does a whole lot more than that.
The breast navigator guides the patient through all of the different things the patient needs like radiation treatments or whatever it may be.
They (patients) have to be educated about this. My goal, personally, is to make sure when they go to see their doctors, the oncologists and the surgeons that they already have a good idea what they are going to hear from them. That helps patients to make educated and right choices about their treatment.
I make sure patients know about the support systems and everything that is out there in the community. The breast navigator, just by virtue of what she does, is pretty much on call all the time. The primary thing is to make them feel comfortable and give them a sense of support here within the hospital system. I bridge the gap between their illness, them, the physicians and their treatment.
Q: What are the important risk factors of breast cancer?
Hyder: The most important one is being a woman. The second is getting older. As we age, our chances of getting breast cancer goes up. Only about one percent of breast cancer patients are men.
Q: If I don't have a family history of breast cancer, why do I need to get a mammogram?
Hyder: Eighty to 85 percent of all breast cancer diagnosis are women who have no family history of breast cancer. It's very important to get your mammograms and your clinical breast exams and do your self breast examinations. You've got to take care of yourself.
Q: What are some tangible things people can do as they approach a terminal disease?
Helvie: I think about where are you with your faith. I think prayer is foremost important and whatever your source of religion maybe. Your scripture, devotion time and literature are tangible things that you can do.
One of the things that has been important to me as I work in the medical field is this book, "A Medical and Spiritual Guide to Living With Cancer." It is written by a physician and a Ph.D. This book is a good guide, and I recommend it. I also encourage people to get a support group. Those are so valuable to be a part of.

Brakes problem
2005 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 40000 miles
Purchased new tires a few miles ago. When having them rotated - and oil change - the tire store suggested rear brake adjustment.
Does this sound reasonable? Somehow I don't really trust them.

Minn. chief asks FBI to examine tape of arrest
By David Chanen and Rochelle Olson
Star Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan said today he will ask the FBI to investigate an incident in which a squad car video captured police punching and kicking a man as they tried to arrest him in February after a stop for speeding.
"The kicking is troubling to me," Dolan said after watching the video early today. "The public will want an investigation."
Jenkins was stopped by Minneapolis police at 3 a.m. Feb. 19 on Penn Avenue N. for allegedly going 15 miles per hour over the speed limit.

On the surface, Scott's (ANon-Blonde Cheerleader in Love, also due this month) novel sounds familiar: smart good-girl KJ is too decent to brush off the socially inept or "unsavory guys" who glom onto her, even though they make it hard for KJ's crush, basketball star Cameron Richardson, to notice her. But when she takes up the job of stage manager for the school's production of Grease, popular Tama, playing the lead role of Sandy, gives KJ some strategic advice: tell the losers to get lost, and go for the guy she wants-and Tama even offers to talk up KJ to her buddy Cameron. Scott shores up this obvious plot in several ways. First, she frames the novel in five "acts," lightly inviting readers to measure her characters against the good/bad stereotypes poked at in Grease. More substantially, she gives KJ an alcoholic father, supplying an insightful foundation for KJ's personality and grounding her story realistically. The result: a genuinely moving heroine and a far stronger story than the cliché-ridden cover art would suggest. Ages 12-up.

Editorial Reviews
Gr 9 Up- KJ is a girl with problems. All of the boys she likes-those who are cool and suave-don't seem to know she exists, but the geeky guys-theater types, intellectuals, nonhotties-are attracted to her. Since she is nice to them, they hang around and won't leave her alone. When she lands the coveted position as stage manager for the school production of Grease , popular girls befriend her, and, in turn, popular boys. With guidance from a new "friend," she alienates her old acquaintances and best friend in trade for a cute guy. KJ's other problems-an alcoholic father and an unstable home situation-enter into the story, adding a bit of depth to KJ's character and allowing for the final friendship showdown. Written in a chatty, chick-lit style, complete with realistic teen-speak, the book will appeal to older readers. Though there's not much sense of place (other than high school), and the secondary characters are thin, the play's the thing, and this story will appeal to readers who enjoy a funny romance and friendship novel, and will be nice filler for collections that can never have enough "pink" books.-Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canada

A girl loved by geeks. How can you not love a character that is loved by people who secretly drive her insane?
KJ Miller is a nice girl. She's nice to everyone. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
Until she meets Tama Gold. And becomes friends with her. The popular girl. The girl who teaches her how to "stand up" for herself. Or, basically, more or less, teaches her how to be mean!
KJ finally gets the chance to go out with her wildly popular crush and realizes something. But what exactly?
Is Tama really her friend?
And is her crush really her crush?
GEEK MAGNET is definitely the 2008 summer must-read! I adored KJ right from the first page. There are serious issues in this book, but they are portrayed in the most fabulous way. Funny! A book everyone should read this summer!
Its a page turner i couldn't put the book down i read it in 1 day i would recommand it to anyone!!!!!
I loved this book probably one of my favorite books after the twilight series. I would deffinately recommened it. It was funny and very cute.
Kieran, I love your work so keep writing the novels did you write a book of nonfiction? Just wondered
Awesome. I loved it!
I Loved this book! I could toally realte to how KJ would freak out everytime she talked to Cameron. I finished the book in a day and i loved every page. The book ws really amusing, realtable and good! I lvoed it and definatly recomnd it!
This book was soo good, the ending was cute and i hope Kieran Scott writes another book similar to this
This book is a most read! plus in dont lisson to the negitive comments they have no taste in good book. This book is full of suprises no matter what kinds of booku read u will love it! It can really relate to the reader.
this story sounds like my life! well at least the beginning. i guess i will have to read it and find out what not to do!
Great book. Fun and fast to read. Excellent for middle schoolers, as well as high school students.
Ok so now I did read the book and I loved it. I don't really like to be mean to people so this gave me a good idea of how to deal with the "not my types guys" politely so I dont hurt their feelings. The one thing I didn't like was that I was able to predict who KJ ended up with by like page 50. But I guess that was one of the things that made the book so great, was that KJ got her fairytale ending after all.
The perfect mix of romance, drama, comedy, and sheer terror. I've read this book an uncountable amount of times!!!!! I think lots of teen girls can relate to this, especially me xD
what i liked about this book was that it was appropritate for teens and shows really good judgement and it has life in it also the way they describe characters is fantastic....so i highly recommend this book to everyone because its a really good and funny book to read....
i read this book knowing i would love it because well, im a geek magnet. i recomend this book to any girl in school who doesnt have the right guys following her around.
KJ is the stage manager for her school's production of Grease, and while she loves the environment and the rush of being in charge of such a big production, the play also throws her in the way of Fred, Andy, and Glenn, three terribly geeky guys who are all but obsessed with her. KJ's interested in dating star athlete Cameron, but he never even notices her until Tama, the ultra-popular leading actress, decides to make it her own personal project to get Cameron and KJ together. If Tama's sudden act of charity seems suspect, that's because it is. Through all the social turmoil, KJ has to sort out her friend priorities, figure out how to deal with her geeky suitors, and make sense of her interactions with Robbie, an upbeat actor/musician who seems more appealing with every passing day. If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy YA that isn't pure fluff, Geek Magnet is a great pick. KJ is a behind-the-scenes artistic type who can herd actors and delegate tasks but is helpless about telling people to stop bugging her. She also isn't sure how to deal with her angry, alcoholic father who makes home life miserable for her and her mom and brother, so the novel shows KJ's development in all areas, not just romantically. She faces many of her biggest fears throughout the course of the story, and I'm proud of every new challenge she rises to meet. Of course, I'd prefer that KJ had immediately seen through Tama and known that she was using her, but it's realistic behavior. And I was pleased at what a true friend KJ was to Tama; she was never really a flunky, and that lent a sense of sweetness to her scenes with Tama. Robbie Delano is an excellent male lead, something I've come to expect from Kieran Scott's novels. He doesn't get a POV, but he has a major impact on the plot. He's instrumental in KJ's growing confidence, and he's a true original--he's amazingly talented but doesn't care about popularity, and he's into acting, singing, and band, when he could easily have stuck with the jock crowd he used to belong to. He's normal-guy romantic, so he'll wear a nicer shirt and pick out a single white lily for a first date instead of donning a suit and handing out a dozen red roses. There are few things more enjoyable to read than a couple of 3-dimensional characters slowly figuring out their mutual attraction (even though KJ and Robbie both think they're interested in other people). Fun romance, likable characters, and some deeper issues interspersed with moments of hilarity make Geek Magnet a winner for those looking for something uplifting.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This grand interstellar adventure exemplifies Hugo-winner Steele's skill with near-future tech and struggle with human interactions. Kicked out of the Western Hemisphere Union Astronautica space fleet, 20-ish Jules Truffaut cleverly stows away on the Robert E. Lee, bound for the Coyote Federation, where he intends to defect. Circumstances force him to accept a mysterious job as shuttle pilot for billionaire Morgan Goldstein, who's plotting to corner trade with the alien hjadd. Steele (Spindrift) makes in-flight technicalities almost tangible, and he equips his hissing, grunting, slithering aliens with convincing motivations. He's less adept at portraying the human crew who accompany Truffaut to a vast space city, where the interstellar coalition called the Talus must decide whether to allow humans to join. Subplots such as Jules's attraction to sexy crew member Rain Thompson and Goldstein's predictable big-boss machinations are tepid, even stereotypical, but a rousing climax rescues the crew and the novel from boredom.

In the previous volume, the Galileo found a very large alien spaceship and sent four crewpersons to explore it. Then another alien ship came through the starbridge. The Galileo fired a torpedo at the alien ship and was destroyed by the premature explosion of its warhead.
The three surviving humans on the large alien ship went into biostasis within the shuttle. They were awakened by aliens and interrogated by a hologram of the political officer. They were briefed on the hjeed species and the Talus organization. Eventually they returned to human space at Coyote.

In this story, Jules is working as a longshoreman at Highgate Station under another name. He works on a plan to bypass the formalities of boarding a ship to Coyote. He buys a ticket on the Robert E. Lee under another alias and has someone else board the spaceship.
After loading the last freight container into the ship, Jules sends the pod back to its berth under automatic control. He hides in the cargo bay until the ship is almost ready to depart the station. Then he moves into the airlock leading into the passenger area.
When the ship is underway, Jules shucks the spacesuit and walks through the passenger section to his private cabin. A steward notices him in the corridors. He explains that he had gone to the head upon boarding.
Jules finds Cabin 4 and readies for departure. Later, a chief petty officer comes to visit. After exiting the gate, the CPO comes back to take him to the captain.
Jules asks the captain for asylum, but she orders the CPO to take him to the brig. Jules gets away from the crewmen and boards a lifeboat and launches it. The captain points out that her ship is faster than the lifeboat, but Jules demonstrates that the lifeboat is more nimble.
Jules doesn't have much choice on his landing zone. After reaching the surface, he looks around the area and decides which way to go. But armed militia is waiting for him.
Jules is taken to Liberty -- the planet capital -- and jailed for a time. When he is taken before the magistrates, Jules explains that he would not have been allowed to board the Robert E. Lee under his own name and again asks for asylum.
The magistrates send him back to jail while they consider the case. He has a visit -- through the window -- from a man in a hooded robe and feels something strange happening within his mind. Then Morgan shows up and offers him a job on a spaceship crew.
Morgan pays the bail and gets Jules out of jail. Morgan also gets him a room in a boarding house. Then he meets with the rest of the crew.
Jules learns that their ship will be gating to Talus qua'spah with cargo for the hjadd. Ted is the ship Captain and Emily is the First Officer. Rain is the cargomaster. Ali is the helmsman and navigator.
Jules will be the shuttle pilot. Ash and Morgan will be passengers. Jas will be the translator and carries the key to the far gate.
Jules recognizes Ted and Emily from the Galileo affair. Ash is the man who was outside the jail window. Jules also recognizes Rain as a guest in the B&B where he lives.
They load the shuttle and lift to orbit to meet the Pride of Cucamonga. Doc has come from Earth on the ship. When they dock on the Pride, Doc gives them a small tour of the vessel.
Rain has been avoiding Jules since the first crew meeting. She is very inexperienced in space procedures. It becomes obvious that Jules had much more experience in moving freight in orbit.
Rain finally drives Jules to complaining to Ted. At first, the captain seems to side with Rain. Then Jules states that he would rather go back down to Coyote that work with someone with a chip on their story.
This tale takes the Pride through the Coyote gate to the House of the Talus. This turns out to be a massive space station. Hjadd take Pride under automatic control to a landing area.
Jules discovers many things about the Talus, including their readiness to use humans. The next installment in this sequence is Coyote Horizon.
Highly recommended for Steele fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of interstellar travel, alien cultures, and a touch of romance. Read and enjoy!
-Arthur W. Jordin
First the good points. This is an easy to read book. It flows well. It is a good book to read while spending the day in airports - it passes the time and does not distract or compel one with plot or sterling characters or such. Sort of a "B" movie book.
Now to why this was a disappointment. This author is a story teller. He is the sort that could take a day in the office and turn it into a riveting tale. His character development and story setup are superb. Usually. Not here.
Jules, main character, is allegedly the product of excellent military training and background. Yet the character acts more like a teenage drama queen. It is evident the character has never developed the habits of command or discipline. His reaction to authority is displaying juvenile 'attitude' at best. This bloke has never been subject to a military environment and this is a serious lapse for this author.
The mission commander has never commanded before from the very stereotype actions and reactions. Given that this is a dude (and his wife) who has actually lived with the aliens they were pretty ignorant in dealing with them. Given their also supposed military background they provided no sort of a mission brief or prep. Just not typical of professionals at the level they should be at.
Come on, hiring someone who did not even know how to don a space suit properly with no pre-mission training? I will buy the politics of hiring powerful folks girl who has no experience - but the lack of training or oversight is criminal. Sorry, I live and work with military professionals and such actions just do not run true.
Let me pull up short here as I am just running on due to being disappointed in this book. In summary, the mind reader is the most believable character. The rich guy's character is as substantial as smoke. The pilot, don't go there as that character is soooo poorly built. Etc. Maybe this was supposed to be a book for the teen age audience?
In short, the expected believable characters and development of these is lacking in this book. The sense of the author 'spinning a tale' is absent.
Do not give up on the author for this book. No one is perfect and his track record is pretty impressive till this clunker. And it an easy to read book for a clunker.
If this is the first book you have read by this author, try another before X'ing him from your read list.
Enter Morgan Goldstein. Goldstein is head of Janus, Inc. The multi-billion dollar shipping corporation, whose primary business is handling cargo within the Sol System, is now headquartered on Coyote. And Goldstein has his sites set on trading with the Hjadd and the conglomeration of worlds they are a part of known as the Talus. The Hjadd, introduced in a previous book, were Humanity's first contact with a technologically advanced, alien species. So, after a few machinations which only the super-rich (and politicians!) are capable of pulling off, Goldstein winds up getting Truffaut out of the stockade and hiring him as part of his crew on the first mission to trade with the Hjadd.
But, of course, events don't go quite as planned and it is up to Truffaut and the rest of the crew of the trading ship Pride of Cucamonga to manage to wend a steady course through several crises and (hopefully) come out intact on the other side.
Galaxy Blues continues the story of Humanity's first interstellar colony. This time though, most of the plot takes place off Coyote itself and on the trading ship Pride of Cucamonga as well as on the giant alien space station Talus Qua'spah. Galaxy Blues brings back several characters -- as well as introducing new ones -- we have seen in previous books. Ted Harker and Emily Collins make a return from the previous novel Spindrift. Harker and Collins were two of three to survive the initial first contact with the Hjadd in that novel. Steele also brings back Rain Thompson from Coyote Frontier. Rain was a minor character in CF (so minor I had trouble remember who she was for awhile) brought to the fore in this tale with decent results. The chemistry between her and Truffaut is passably believable. The real fault I find with this novel is that, without giving away too much of the story, the characters wind up interacting a bit with a blackhole (as the cover of the novel depicts). This has been done before in science fiction and will surely be done again; I don't have a problem with the concept as long as it is pulled off well. The biggest disappointment in the tale is the character interaction with this stellar phenomenon. As you approach a blackhole, time should "slowdown" (minutes and hours for those near the blackhole should be days or weeks...or more...for those farther away) for those nearer to the object than those that are far away. While I am no physicist, it is blatantly obvious that Steele seems to forget about this effect on time entirely. Or perhaps he didn't forget, but decided to set aside this effect so the plot didn't have other holes in it. Either way, Steele's lack of attention to detail ruined much of this novel's plausibility factor for me.
But...the story does have some upside for those that have followed Coyote's saga from the outset. Galaxy Blues gives us an unprecedented glimpse into the alien world of the Hjadd and the Talus they are a part of. The previous novel, Spindrift, was a bit of a letdown, in part, because I kept wanting more about the Hjadd. Well, Galaxy Blues delivers on this account. We get a peek into the alien construct known as the Talus Qua'spah, we get a look at their political/religious structure, and even more hints on how advanced technologically they are.
In sum, Galaxy Blues could have been a better story if Steele had spent a bit more time thinking about the science of the situation he was putting his characters into. But Galaxy Blues does do a fine job of broadening and coalescing our knowledge and understanding of Coyote's relationship with Earth and now their galactic neighbors as well. This novel is not to be missed with the understanding that the previous stories in the series have been read prior to picking up this tale and that you are willing to lower your plausibility meter down a notch.
