Last Thursday, I had a chance to spend a full day with a diverse group of search engine marketers during the Search Engine Strategies "Optimizing for Universal Search" workshop in Seattle. Over lunch, we talked about SES San Jose – which is coming up August 18-22, 2008.
The people around the table were excited to see that conference speakers from brand name companies like Adobe, Cisco, Discover, Forbes, HP, Humana, IBM, Intuit, P&G, Monster, Napster, New England Journal of Medicine, The New Republic, The New York Times, Stanford University, and Walt Disney were on the agenda.
Um, yes, of course. How could I have possibly overlooked that significant market trend?
Okay, so maybe I've attended too many SEO conferences. When I looked at the agenda in my post, "Optimizing your schedule for Search Engine Strategies San Jose," I was excited to see that Matt Cutts, the Software Engineer Guru from Google, was speaking on Day 2 during the Orion Keynote Panel: Technical & Information Giants.
And I'm so used to seeing conference speakers like Marshall D. Simmonds, the Chief Search Strategist of The New York Times / About.com, on the SES conference agenda that I had missed the fact that he is being joined at SES San Jose by more than a dozen other conference speakers from brand name companies.
This market trend is significant.
In the past, conference speakers from brand name companies have been under-represented at search engine conferences.
Part of this is evolutionary. In the early days, most search engine experts either headed up SEO companies or worked at one of the search engines. And these segments are still well represented on the Search Engine Strategies conference agenda.
But part of this is revolutionary. Kevin Ryan, VP of Global Content for the SES series, named an advisory board in August 2007 that included a number of individuals from brand name companies.
Their input is clearly reflected in this year's agenda at SES San Jose. Here are some examples:
(Monday, Aug. 18, 2008, 1:30 p.m.)
Orion Keynote Panel – How Much Search is Enough?
• Kevin Ryan, Vice President, Global Content Director, Search Engine Strategies and Search Engine Watch
• Anne Kennedy, Managing Partner & Founder, Beyond Ink
• Robert Murray, President, iProspect
• Aaron Goldman, VP, Marketing & Strategic Partnerships, Resolution Media, an Omnicom Media Group Company
• Steven Kaufman, Senior Vice President, Media Director, Digitas
• Bob Tripathi, Search Marketing Strategist, Discover Financial Services
(Monday, Aug. 18, 2008, 4:30 p.m.)
Opening Keynote Presentation
• Lee Siegel, senior editor at The New Republic and author of "Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob"
(Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008, 9:00 a.m.)
Keynote Roundtable: Why Does Search Get the Credit for Everything?
• Bill Hunt, CEO, Global Strategies International
• Randy Peterson, Search Marketing Innovation Manager, Procter and Gamble
• Terry A. Cox, Manager, Search Engine Marketing, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Online
• Mikel Chertudi, Sr. Director, Online & Demand Marketing, Omniture
• Sharon Gallacher, West Coast Managing Director, Neo@Ogilvy
(Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008, 2:45 p.m.)
War of the Search Worlds: Unifying Your Global Search Marketing Program
• Kevin Heisler, Executive Editor, Search Engine Watch
• Olivier Lemaignen, Group Manager, Global Search Marketing, Intuit
• Jay Middleton, Senior Manager, Worldwide Search Marketing, Adobe
• Mark Scholz, Interactive Manager of IPG Worldwide, Hewlett-Packard
• Russ Mann, CEO, Covario
(Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008, 9:00 a.m.)
Morning Keynote
• Chip Heath, Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University and author of "Made to Stick"
(Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008, 2:45 p.m.)
In House SEO: Lessons Learned & Victories Won
• Jessica Bowman, SEO Strategist and in-house SEO Expert, SEMinhouse.com
• Marshall D. Simmonds, Chief Search Strategist, New York Times / About.com
• Derrick Wheeler, Senior SEO Architect, Microsoft
• Kara Jariwala, Search Marketing Strategist, Cisco
• Laura Lippay, Group Program Manager, Search Strategy, Yahoo!
Of course, you can also see plenty of search engine experts from SEM and SEO companies speaking at SES San Jose. This includes Greg Boser, Christine Churchill, Barbara Coll, Mikkel deMib Svendsen, Bryan Eisenberg, Kevin Lee, Jeffrey K. Rohrs, Dana Todd, Amanda Watlington, and Jill Whalen, who were all speakers at the first SES conference that I attended in the spring of 2002 — which was programmed back then by Danny Sullivan, who will also be speaking at the SES conference in San Jose next month.
And you can also hear lots of representatives of the top search engines speaking at this year's Search Engine Strategies San Jose. The fact that it is being held in the backyard of Google and Yahoo explains why the top search engines are sending so many people from their engineering and search quality teams to both the conference and expo.
So, some things haven't changed.
But, the growing number of conference speakers at SES San Jose from brand name companies is a significant market trend that's worth noting. It's "the new new thing" in Silicon Valley.

Who remembers the lessons learned in the Schoolhouse Rock segment, "I'm Just a Bill?". Believe it or not, it's a fairly accurate representation of how bills become laws in the Indiana General Assembly.
As legislators near the committee deadline for the first-half of the legislative session, there are a number of bills moving forward that impact older adults and persons with disabilities, and their families and caregivers. Some of the promising proposals in the 2017 Indiana General Assembly for which IAAAA has provided supportive testimony include:
- Expansion of the state CHOICE program pilot statewide. (HB 1287)
- Home modifications for persons with disabilities. (SB 485)
- Ongoing study of reforms required in Indiana's APS system. (SB 345)
- An increase in the amount of reimbursement available to guardians of certain protected persons. (SB 396)
- Additional tools for financial services professionals to report suspected exploitation of vulnerable adults. (HB 1526)

Hey Guys! We're so happy to have you today, and if you're just stopping by from Melissa, thanks for dropping in! {If not, be sure to check out what she's been up to!}
We were so excited to be a part of the "She Sent Me What?" Challenge with some of our fave fellow bloggers… The challenge? To send one item in the mail to one person. It's like a modern day chain mail in the form of unexpected flea market fun. ;}
I couldn't wait for the package to arrive in the mail from Melissa {The Inspired room}.
And then I opened it, and I became the title for the post. She Sent Me What? {?!?!?!!} And I laughed. Because this. Was. Amazing. I love a good challenge… I crave it. And you should see what I sent Kelly – Eclectically Vintage {stay tuned to visit her below} … so there's that. I let it simmer for a few days before I even thought about what I would do with this thing that looks like it spent its past life in Saul Goodman's office as part of a justice measurer thingy. Funky candle holder? Banana tray? Soap dish? Nope. And then I flipped it over. The underneath had this fabulous worn look that inspired me. We've been reading about Marco Polo and Magellan and Christopher Columbus in Mills Academy {if you're new to these parts its fancy talk for home school} with the kids, and I was suddenly inspired. Duh. When you get a rando brass dish in the mail, you make… The suspense is killing you. I know. A vintage mariners compass. I mean, every house needs a vintage mariners compass. Or at least a much-needed splash of spring on their mantel in the form of something a little offbeat. I mean, for a moment… I reveled in my brilliance. Or my insanity. Jury's still out. So here's how we did it: I drew the shape of a compass in illustrator. You can get your own PDF here. {Side note: One of the lines inside a triangle (5th one clockwise) is off just a little, because mariner's compasses are kinda hard to draw if you haven't noticed but I just adjusted it when I painted it in.} Printed it out on a transparency, and projected it onto a piece of thin MDF. {You can totally measure out your own with a piece of yarn and your own nerdiness, but this makes it about twenty times easier.} This only took a few minutes. The compass shape was 32″ wide, and the final frame was 45″ wide to allow for a nice border. Again, you can certainly do any size you like. Then we broke out the saw and cut the outside shapes. From there, after lightly sanding a few of the edges… it was simply 'paint by number'. I grabbed paint cans we had in the garage and it was time for the fun part. The colors we used in Benjamin Moore: Yellow: Corn Husk, Dark Blue (In center): Calypso Blue, Coral: A blent of Corn Husk + Million Dollar Baby, White: Chantilly Lace, Blue: Peacock Blue. I added a touch of opposite paint to each side of a triangle with a dividing line, and rubbed away a little on top when it was almost dry with a paper towel for a distressed look. Then I went back and filled in the lines with a gold leafing pen, and gave it a "tea stain" with Cabot's stain in Cinnamon. I painted the back MDF that it was mounted to in Benjamin Moore's at Sea, and added a slight dry brush with chantilly lace and more slightly rubbed stain on top of that for an older feel. I used a few letters to indicate direction with the gold leafing pen. Then we cut frame pieces, and stained, and added stripes. We mounted the pieces with wood glue and our RYOBI brad nailer from behind. And added the piéce de résistance, the Melissa's brass in the middle. Tada! True upcycling. You could create your own version with any colors + just about any type of combo. You could use cardboard. You can add anything to the middle or just leave it blank. You could even just paint the compass if you wish to have a '1-D' piece of art in your home! The possibilities are endless. This kind of reminds me of a salvaged piece from an old carnival. Magellan's Adventure. Sounds legit. So your take on it… is totally up to you. Who knew a piece of brass from Saul Goodman's office could inspire a Magellan-esque carnival-style mariners compass? No, I did not inhale any mold. As always let us know if you try it! Here it is, on the new mantel makeover, here. + the final space, here. And now for the good stuff… Be sure to check out what I sent Kelly here + her creative solution… Don't miss it!
And check out the rest of the fabulous bloggers in the line up + their little creations… here! So much fun in one little series!

You're right – it does have a carnival flavor to it which is why I think I love it so much! Thanks for sharing all about your paint colors and technique. Also, the candle sticks are the perfect accent for your piece. Can you share some details about them, too? Great styling!
Super cute! I love it. I spy my favorite candlesticks up there too! I am so impressed that you were able to cut that out with a saw? I need more practice maybe…!
Jaw drop… I do believe you reinvented the wheel! Holey smokes girl… how you saw THIS from THAT I'll never know! Gorgeous piece!!!
No way!!!! Nothing short of brilliant. Man, I wish you were somehow related to me.
This is so YOU! Colorful, bright, and happy 🙂 I love it!!!

This is such a creative use of your item!! I love it!
Love it! I want to pin it! But for some reason I can't get your pin button to work!
I love it! It fits into your home perfectly. It wouldn't have been nearly as cool without the brass center. You found a way to incorporate it in a way the just screams, "The Handmade Home!"
That is ridiculous!!! How can I get my mind to start working like yours?? Do a blog post on that next! I absolutely LOVE this!!
You can definitely bring the jury back in on this one…it's fabulous!!
Oh my, what a fun and awesome idea! That is a great way to use your thrifted item. Thanks for sharing.
wow You are creative and hardworking!
Love the colours you choose!
First time on your blog–the compass is beyond compare. Just wonderful. Any thought to using the "leftover" chain the hang the compass board?

Loking for Potholes
To be honest when I read that the author was a LGBTQ rights activist, I was really re-thinking wanting to check this book of poems out. This is because while my views differ from these life styles, I don't push my views off on others. So being an activist I know that they are strong voices and so was not sure that I wanted to read a book of poems that would force these briefs on me.
This book turned out to be a nice surprise. The poems were not heavy handed in LGBTQ subjects. In fact, there is a poem for everyone to be found in this book. What I most liked about the poems is that Mr. Wenke came out swinging. He did not hide anything and was truthful. Which I have always thought that poems were a form of expression, so there should be no filter.
Warning: Some of the poems can be blunt so if you get easily offensive you may not like those poems.

Susannah Marren's debut novel crackles with the tensions of real life—rivalries, betrayals, shaky marriages and the challenges of mothering—in a way that simultaneously resonates and illuminates. It's no surprise that BETWEEN THE TIDES (St. Martin's Press; July 2015) has such insight into the lives of women: their challenges, their triumphs and their inner yearnings.
Told against the backdrop of the Selkie legend – enchanted seals who shed their skins to live on land as women – Marren's unique style peels back the layers of a ' perfect world' to reveal the shifting tides of marriage, family, career and friendships. Her protagonist, Lainie Smith Morris, moves against her will out of her beloved New York City for the affluent suburbs of New Jersey with her surgeon husband and four children. The dark side of the American dream begins to consume her as Lainie starts to unravel. Does Lainie depend too much on her twelve year old daughter, Matilde, and her art work as her only comforts? Her isolation is interrupted by the serendipitous meeting of an old friend, who at first seems like a godsend, but proves to be anything but. Will the earth-shattering consequences of her friend's betrayal drive Lainie past the breaking point? Readers should prepare themselves for a shocking surprise ending to this original, fast-paced novel.
SUSANNAH MARREN is originally from Long Beach Island, New Jersey. She currently lives in Manhattan with her family and still spends her summers on the Jersey Shore. BETWEEN THE TIDES is her first novel.
By Susannah Marren
St. Martin's Press; July 2015
304 pages; $25.95
The selkies are sea creatures, half woman, half seal. They wiggle out of their seal skins on the rocks to lie in the weak winter sum. One fisherman watched with his binoculars from his fishing boat and waited."
"He loved the prettiest one!" Claire interrupts. "That's right, darling girl, " I say.
Jack sticks out his tongue. "Who cares about some stupid sealy lady? He shouts.
I stop the story "Jack please seat down."
Jack returns to the couch beside Tom, his big brother, who is on his iPad. Jack yawns and props his eyes open wide with his fingers. "Boring Mom!"
"More! More!" Claire screams, She jumps of the couch and starts dancing around the den, waving her hands like flippers in her crazy water dance on land. "More!" she screeches. Matilde, my solemn child, interrupts, "Mom, are you a selkie?"
I laugh and look out the den window that faces west. It is too dark to see anything. "No, darling girl, I'm not a selkie."
"But you love the water and you swim every day. When we go to Cape May you lie on the jetties just like the selkies. You never answer us when you're on the beach . . . it's like you're not even there. . . . Remember last February when—"
"Matilde, I am not a selkie."
"Mommy," Claire cries, "the sealy skin! The fisherman! Finish the story."
Perhaps Charles is right and I ought to quit the tale. It isn't Cinderella or Snow White; there is no prince with whom to live happily ever after.
"Mom?" Matilde is waiting.
"Okay...well...the beach is empty in December when the fisherman sees his chance. He sneaks up near the rocks and comes close to the prettiest selkie."
"He takes her skin, Mommy!" The man takes her seal skin!" Claire begins to sob as she always does at this part in the story.
"That's true, Claire darling. The man takes her seal skin while she is in the icy sea. When she comes back to the shoreline, frantic to find her sealy coat, he is holding it in his hands. He tells her she has no choice but to go with him, without her coat she will drown. Be he promises to love her forever, that they will marry and have a family. That's the deal. The "forever" part gets to me.
"And she marries him!" yelps Claire. She begins to dance again. "She marries him and they have babies! "Claire is the cheerful one, she bounces from one side of the room to the other. She passes Tom and Jack, who watch her as if she were an alien creature. I wonder if Jack and Claire will ever share a thought , an interest. Fraternal twins are not a matched pair.
"Until one day..." I look up. "Jack are you listening?"
Jack covers his ears. "I don't care about seals and babies. It's gross.
"A dull story for the boys," says Charles. He is in the doorway, appearing out of nowhere, as usual. He is so stealthy, Charles, more burglar than surgeon.
The children race to him and grab at his arms and hands, his legs, anything that is their father. Except Matilde, who stays close to me. "Lainie, how about another story? Something more realistic?
You could read to them from Tom Sawyer."
Matilde leans in toward my ear. "I know why you like the story. I
know you're a selkie. I saw your sealy skin." Everyone is waiting.
"What sealy skin? What are you talking about, Matilde?"
"In the hall closet, hanging in a zippered bag. A black, thick coat,"
she answers. "Hairy."
"Oh, that. That's from my grandmother. You're right, it is made of seal, a long-dead seal. I wouldn't wear it. I don't have the guts to ditch it. I guess I'm sentimental."
No one else speaks. Claire is frozen in mid-dance. Matilde says, "The sealy needs her coat to go back to the sea. She has a land family now but she misses the sea.
"That's right. That's how it works," I whisper. "The days become flat for her, days without any sun."
A Conversation with Susannah Marren
1. What inspired you to write Between the Tides?
I have long been interested in the female experience in our society – as a mother, a daughter, a wife. I've also been intrigued by the dangerous elements in certain female friendships and how they play out. I believe that environment informs our relationships. The idea of city life versus a suburban existence and the pitfalls and rewards inherent in both became a theme of the book. The fact that a wife/mother (Lainie) did not fit in either place was very compelling for me. The question lingers: what is the price of motherhood?
2. The yin and yang of Lainie and Jess' friendship and long history of competition was convincing.
Do you have any 'toxic' friends? For Between the Tides I liked the idea of an ongoing competition one that invoked events of those early years at the shore for Lainie and Jess. I carried that competition into adulthood—motherhood, life in Elliot, career (or lack there of) and marriage. How many of us get to revisit such a friendship and still be in the game? While writing this I thought a great deal about the summer friends of my youth and how the 'it' girls—who were toxic were not always the ones everyone followed later in life.
3. In the novel there are triangles everywhere.
We have the Lainie, Charles, Matilde triangle; the Lainie, Jess, Charles triangle; and the Matilde, Claire, Lainie triangle. What are you saying about the nature of threesomes? I felt very strongly in writing this book that power shifts even when there is trust within the relationship. For example, Lainie and Charles are never truly secure as a couple despite that they have real feelings for one another. As a result, Matilde becomes a wedge between them. In the Lainie, Jess, Charles triangle, we have a marriage that is not whole and thus Jess seeps into the equation. It becomes a messy and tricky triangle because Lainie and Jess share a history of rivalry for the 'glittering prizes' from when they were young. The prizes were popularity, beauty and winning the right guy.
Jess, as a young woman, wanted whatever Lainie had – she wanted Lainie's boyfriend Clark, not because she actually liked him but because he was Lainie's. When Jess falls for Charles, it's actually about Charles, not about winning. This is a departure. The Matilde, Claire, Lainie triangle is about birth order and Matilde, as the older daughter, is very connected to her mother. This connection keeps Matilde from her own life and her own experiences. Claire, at the age of five, already longs to be a part of Lainie and Matilde's world. Lainie is vaguely aware of this while Jess is completely conscious of how it occurs. And so we wonder at the end, is Jess actually a better mother figure for a 'normal' family? Is love alone ever enough or do we need other ingredients, such as the ability to survive the challenges of modern life? 4. The voices of Lainie and Jess are distinctive and both narrators are'types'. Why did you tell the story this way? I thought that some readers will identify with Jess and others with Lainie and perhaps ask the question, am I a Lainie or a Jess? I was in both characters' heads and I felt the friction between them combined with the intensity of their attachment. Someone asked me why Lainie didn't appreciate her situation while Jess had to cover up a terrible secret—William's abuse. Lainie wasn't a fit for the life she had and longed for the shore and freedom. In contrast, Jess embraced the Elliot lifestyle and went to great lengths to sustain her image and position in that world.
5. Did you find it easy to switch from Lainie sections to Jess sections?
I found it fluid in terms of Laine's point of view and Jess's point of view. I thought about both characters for months on end. I have always known how the book would end since the earliest drafts and for that reason, I was able to shift gears as the story unfolded. Jess is tough minded and a survivor – that's very obvious from the outset. Lainie, in an other worldly way, is a survivor too.
6. When Charles announces that he can't commit to Jess why does she believe she can keep the affair going?
Jess never loved a man as she loved Charles and it threw her for a loop and changed the nature of love for her. She respected Charles and was drawn to him, For once it wasn't about getting ahead or being the victor, it was about being in love. These feelings sobered her and gave her a kind of humanity she never had before. Not that she stopped being manipulative or looking out for herself, but that her emotions drove the Charles relationship for her. She almost cannot accept Charles' situation –his commitment to his wife and family. Jess soldiers on—seeking what she can get from Charles.
7. Did you purposely leave the ending of Between the Tides open to interpretation?
What are you asking the reader to consider? Yes, I did leave the ending open to the reader's interpretation. Part of what I'm asking the reader to consider is that not everyone fits into a societally prescribed role. Lainie loves her children but is it possible that Jess is the one who can make Lainie's family happier– and on some level does Lainie realize this? What constitutes family – what is fictive family? I'm asking if we are able to forgive and understand those who don't embrace motherhood or wifehood.
8. Do you consider this a romance novel or women's fiction?
I consider this novel to be a bit of both. Surely there is a romantic element and it is part of the tale. Yet it's also a story about mothers and daughters, and female friendships and how singular is the search for happiness.
9. What sorts of fiction and nonfiction do you read? Who are your favorite writers?
I am a fan of both novels and nonfiction. As far as fiction goes, I love the classics, Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann, Jane Austen's work, the Bronte sisters. For more current novels, Sophie's Choice by William Styron, The House at Riverton by Kate Morton, The Goldfinch by Donna Tart, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, BelleFleur and other fiction by Joyce Carol Oates. When it comes to nonfiction, I love to read about Anne Boleyn, Mary Todd Lincoln, and books about gender roles throughout various cultures.
10.What is your next project?
I'm currently writing a new novel. I'm quite excited about it and very involved with the story. Most days it fills my head – and I already know the plot.

Maximum Interval Training
Are you ready to challenge yourself, and turn up the intensity of your workouts? Are you ready for a proven program that burns fat, increases muscle, and sculpts the physique you've always wanted? If so, then Maximum Interval Training is for you!
You'll find step-by-step instructions, expert advice, and photo depictions of 147 exercises as well as ready-to-use programs for power, strength, endurance, quickness, agility, tactical training, and total-body conditioning. But rest assured that it won't be more of the same. You'll test your limits with a regimen of sprints, medicine balls, heavy ropes, kettlebells, sandbags, body-weight exercises, and suspension training.
Train with maximum intensity for maximum results!
My Review
This is a very well written book. If you are looking to do more interval training or just starting out, then this book is very useful. I found this book very helpful and easy to follow. I have been doing interval training for a while but I am always on the hunt to find more ways to take my exercise to the next level. There are lots and lots of exercises featured in this book. So you are getting your money's worth. Don't worry if you are just beginning with interval training as this book will take you step by step with pictures on how to do the exercise (correctly). There is even a work out guide to follow so that after you have mastered the novice moves you can keep progressing with the advanced moves. You will refer to this book over and over again until you have become a master and then you might want to consider gifting it to a friend or purchase them a copy.

Somebody I Used to Know
The breakout author of The Forgotten Girl and Cemetery Girl, "one of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time" (Suspense Magazine) delivers a new novel about a man who is haunted by a face from his past....
When Nick Hansen sees the young woman at the grocery store, his heart stops. She is the spitting image of his college girlfriend, Marissa Minor, who died in a campus house fire twenty years earlier. But when Nick tries to speak to her, she acts skittish and rushes off.
The next morning the police arrive at Nick's house and show him a photo of the woman from the store. She's been found dead, murdered in a local motel, with Nick's name and address on a piece of paper in her pocket.
Convinced there's a connection between the two women, Nick enlists the help of his college friend Laurel Davidson to investigate the events leading up to the night of Marissa's death. But the young woman's murder is only the beginning...and the truths Nick uncovers may make him wish he never doubted the lies.
My Review
The only reason that I did not give this book five stars is because I did not feel that every one else in this story raised to Nick's level. It was frustrating at times as I thought that Nick came off as the only sane and smart one including the police. It was like every one else was just along for the ride. Nick was way smarter and had to tell the cops what was going on.
The chapters may be short to make for a quick read but it was Mr. Bell's writing that gets the credit for making this book a quick read. The mystery surrounding Nick's girl friend had my interest until the every end. Speaking of ending. It was a fitting one.

Babies, Cowboys, and Brides
I found this to be a sweet, charming read. Jordyn and Will made a cute couple. I say cute because even when they were fighting it did not last long and there was not a lot of steamy romance in the bedroom. There were a few moments but they were brief. Even talk about ranch life was quick. So you did not really get the feel of what it would be like to take care of animals on a ranch. Yet, despite the lack of steamy romance I did find this to be a nice read with some fun characters. The good natured ribbing that Will got from his brothers was entertaining. Even though this is my first time getting introduced to Jordyn and Will. It did feel like I had known them both for a long time. with their ups and downs it made them real and relatable.
This turned out to be a charming read. It took me quite a while into the story to warm up to either Amie or Preston. I did not find either one that endearing or interesting. In fact, it was not until about eight chapters in when they actually got to have any alone time with each other. Aside from the first brief moment at the beginning of the book. There time alone was hot and full of passion. However, despite the passion and me warming up to Amie and Preston, I struggled reading this book. The storyline as a whole did not excite me. So if you strip away the storyline and the lukewarm characters with good passion, you don't get the best results.
There was some witty banter to be had in this book as well. Which kept things entertaining and helped move the story along. Also the more I got to know of the people of Bridesmaids Creek the more that I liked the town and the people who resided there. I will have to check out the other books in this series. However if you are looking for a fun book to read than you should check this one out.

Everything I Never Told You
Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet . . . So begins this debut novel about a mixed-race family living in 1970s Ohio and the tragedy that will either be their undoing or their salvation. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; their middle daughter, a girl who inherited her mother's bright blue eyes and her father's jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue—in Marilyn's case that her daughter become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James's case that Lydia be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the center of every party.
When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together tumbles into chaos, forcing them to confront the long-kept secrets that have been slowly pulling them apart.
My Review
The moment I opened this book and started reading it I was hooked. I was already half way done reading the book before I put it down to take a break. However when I picked it back up I finished the last half of the book quickly. I just loved the way the author wrote this story. The Lee family are a very complex family. They may be dysfunctional but not any worse then maybe your own family.
Each member of the Lee family had their secrets and faults. However I liked seeing how each of them coped with them. They showed that they are human. Thus after a while I did not see them as characters in a story but as "real" people. The story just flowed from moment to moment drawing on more emotions. The ending was very nicely done. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Promise of Mercy + Giveaway
Deirdre watched as Marisa turned and looked at her. She was shocked when she saw the child in her enemy's arms. The Gothowan woman turned away to shield the child. Deirdre saw the child's face. The child was looking right at her. Her expression was more curious than frightened. Deirdre knew she could take the fugitive without touching the child. She reoriented her aim, and her finger began to tighten.
It is twenty-five years after the events of Price of Vengeance. Deirdre and her sisters have returned to their home planet of Etrusci after completing their training with the Finnian Shock Forces. Their homecoming plans are disrupted when their mother, High Priestess Celinia, and other leaders of the clergy are taken hostage, and their father, Colonel Liam O'Connor, disappears. In their desperate search for their father, they discover that the Rebellion is secretly building weapons that could end civilization as they know it.
Meanwhile, Liam has been befriended by a Rebel war criminal, a woman Deirdre has sworn to kill. Will Deirdre cast herself into the role of judge, jury, and executioner, or will she discover the promise of mercy?
My Review
It was good to visit with Celinia, Liam, and Randolf again from the first book, Price of Vengeance. I grew close to all of them, especially Liam. Now, twenty-five years later I am introduced to Liam and Celinia's three daughters. It did seem as if the focus was on one particular daughter, Deirdre. So I became connected to her the most.
I liked the set up for the kidnapping and the motive but I did find that it seemed to stretch a little long with no action. Action is what I got spoiled on by the first book. It was instant action. So this lack of it up front made it a little harder for me to read this book as fast. However about half way is when the story picked up for me. From here I was able to really enjoy the book and read it faster. Deirdre is quite the warrior, just like her father. The world and the characters that the author has created is wonderful. If you are a fan of sci-fi, military, or just looking for a new author to read then you have to check out this series. You will not regret it.

This stroller met our needs. We have even taken it on a walking trail in Cape May while our daugther slept in it. The wheels are a little stiff but overall this was a great buy. Our daughter can climb in and out easily and when going to restaurants or stores it doesnt take up a lot of room. Also folds easily and the basket size is pretty decent too.Read More
i love ordering from overstock.com it fits my budget.Read More
The plastic pieces to connect to the wheels didn't fit. The dimensions listed had the stroller a little taller than it actually is, which makes me (a relatively tall female) bend over to push it. Not comfortable. Still, for short trips with the grandchild to the park, it works.Read More
For the money you can't beat it. Much nicer than the simple little strollers you get at stores like Walmart or Kmart. Nice canopy and storage underneath. And it is a nice weight, easy to fold and go.Read More
I didn't like the stroller at all, first of all, it was like for a doll and not a real baby. My granddaughter is very small for her age and the stroller was almost too small for her. I am thinking we will be able to use for approx 2 more months and she is only 15 lbs and 6 1/2 months, I was very disappointed, the only thing I like the convienence of easily fold and unfold, which is what I wanted when I am alone with no help.Read More

And you thought we were done with just one Star Wars myths posting! Star Wars, the phenomenon, not just the films, continues to gather steam nearly 40 years after the film film premiered in the theaters. The franchise (for that is what is has become) continues making everyone a lot of money, with more films coming, more toys, more posters, more more more. While this may seems somewhat exhausining, the fans have rarely cried enough, though Jar Jar came pretty close.

Actually, for the first movie, this is very true. 20th Century Fox wasn't interested in the toy rights for a film they figured would flop, so they let Lucas keep those rights. The Star Wars toys were a huge hit, selling so fast that they couldn't be kept in the stores. For Christmas of 1977, the toys were in such scarce supply, that parents gave coupons put out by Kenner Toys in lieu of the actual toy, which would come when manufacturing caught up with demand.
Lucas wrote a great deal of material developing the Star Wars Series. The films he mentioned at the first film hit were never fully scripted or plotted out but he claimed to have a broad overview of the series of nine films. Fans going through the script archive have found none of this, but have found different versions of the original script, along with extra material, some of which made it's way into other films. So this means the sequels were developed after the original became an international hit.
In interviews Lucas tied the movie to this book, which he did not actually read until the film was almost completed. There are many stories like this that Hollywood has made through the years. There are some connections to this but not as many as were publicized through articles and the press. Star Wars, the first film, has much more to do with the Flash Gordon serials that are its true inspiration, than with Campbell's works
For most people, this is a distinction with out a difference. Actually the movie is considered science fiction and fans that came to see the movie weren't expecting a documentary. If only the science fiction fans attended the Star Wars movies they knew they would easily make their $8 million dollar budget back easily, but promoting it as space fantasy could expand the audience and bring in more profits
No. Fox didn't really want to make an expensive Science Fiction space opera, and pointed to the box office failure of such films as Silent Running, and Lucas' own THX-1138 as a good reason to be wary. The movie had a budget of less than one of the regular comedies at the time: 10.1 million. They had to call Fox to ask for $50,000 more to build one set to finish the movie. Fox granted the money but demanded the movie be finished by their deadline. They did not care whether the quality was there or not. They wanted it finished and wrapped up ASAP.
No, it was not. Star Wars was not an immediate success at that first test screening like in the legends. The audience liked the film but the responses were not overwhelming or brimming with enthusiasm. In fact one movie survey card said 'this is the worst film I have ever seen since Godzilla'. Overall it received only an average rating from the screenings.
Fox had a huge hit on their hands, and frankly, it came as a big surprise. The problem was, there'd be no new film in the theaters for another 3 years. This was too much time, people might forget all about Luke, Leia and Han! Fox, and Lucas, felt they had to produce something in-between the films. Lucas agreed to let Fox and CBS produce a holiday special using the characters, and okayed the general outline. It was then the project got away from him. Bloated with inappropriate guest stars, odd dance numbers, and the original Star Wars cast who really looked like they'd rather be elsewhere, the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' became an embarrassment to Lucas, who ordered it never to be shown again after its one broadcast. You can find it though, on various websites, but beware! Once watched it cannot be unwatched.
The Empire Strikes Back was delayed and went over budget. First, set designer John Barry died in the first week of filming. This held up production and shocked the crew. Then there were serious weather problems in Norway and a blizzard occurred. Kershner ,the producer was good handling the cast but slower in producing and less skilled than Lucas. There were accidents and illness among the cast members. These are some the factors that caused the delays, but not 'bad luck', voodoo or anything else but the vicissitudes of filming a big movie with a large cast and crew.Ads related to

Mercedes-Benz 600SL ProblemsInternal leaks in load leveling suspension in rear may cause rough ride
The engine wiring can degrade because the insulating material falls off leaving the bare wire exposed. This can cause many problems depending on which wires are exposed and what they touch.
The lower control arm bushings can wear and crack, resulting excessive movement at the control arm pivot point, leading to irregular and premature tire wear. Worn Ball joints can also cause similar tire wear symptoms. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.

The Eyes of Godby Tim Dooley
Far too often we fail to see clearly the steps we take, the path we walk, or the very nature of our own hearts. Certainly the "way of the fool is right in his own eyes" and he doesn't see himself as a fool. But God sees the fool for what he truly is. The soul-winner is wise, but few pursue this way. The one guilty of contention is he who is arrogant and many have fallen victim to this great evil. The man who loves his child punishes the son's misbehavior, but "love" has caused many parents to forsake discipline and society is plunged deeper into heartache because of it. A soft answer is better than an angry reply, but have you driven in traffic lately?
The general truths however are often scoffed at and unappreciated. "There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death." The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, beholding the true righteousness and wickedness of man (Proverbs 15:3). It is therefore imperative that we see things through God's eyes and not our own. Be faithful, for the Lord is "far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous" (Proverbs 15:29).
"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." ~ Proverbs 21:2
Alabama churches of Christ is a Christian website with lots of articles, the KJV Bible, a church directory and more!
Here's a brief look at what the churches of Christ believe...
- We believe that the Church should speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent.
- The Bible teaches that we must have the authority of Christ for whatever we practice or teach (Colossians 3:17).
- Worship services should be conducted strictly in accordance with the scriptural patterns set forth in the New Testament.
The New Testament makes no mention of mechanical instrumental music being used in the early church, as such we do not use them in our worship today. Instead we sing "a cappella" (singing without mechanical instruments). MUSIC IN WORSHIP by Raymond Elliott is a good article on this subject.
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" (Ephesians 5:19).

Villa suffered a second straight defeat in the Barclays U18 Premier League despite an encouraging fightback against Southampton.
Callum Robinson and Liam Bateman were on target for Tony McAndrew's team but it wasn't enough to earn them a share of the spoils at Bodymoor Heath.
The Saints took the lead on 12 minutes when Ryan Seager swept home a rebound after Dominic Gape's initial effort was blocked.
The lead was doubled in the 19th minute when Jake Flannigan converted Gboly Ariyibi's cross.
But Villa responded well after the break and Robinson pounced in the penalty area on 56 minutes to pull a goal back.
It was soon followed by an equaliser, which arrived when Bateman's shot went in with the aid of a deflection from a Southampton player.
However, the Saints had the final say with Omar Row burying a late effort to ensure they returned to the south coast with all three points.

Travel Abroad: Silver Filigree in Oaxaca | 2.13
Rafael Bautista
Students will receive instruction on the traditional methods of Oaxacan-style filigree in the workshops of El Oro de Monte Alban, Oaxaca's most prominent jewelry company. Our instructor Rafael Bautista has been creating filigree since the age of eighteen. In 2013, El Oro de Monte Alban invited Maestro Bautista to develop a basic filigree course in an effort to promote and maintain jewelry manufacturing as a sustainable activity among locals. He has since taught students from all over Mexico, as well as England, Japan and the United States.
You'll end the week with a solid understanding of the filigree technique, wearable examples of your work, and a deeper appreciation of the role that jewelry and metalworking play in Oaxacan culture.
Prerequisite: None. This workshop is open to students of all levels.
One assistantship is available for a student fluent in both Spanish and English. Contact Julia Harrison (firstname.lastname@example.com) for details or to apply.

You can't see them through her button down, but Krissy Lynn is packing a set of tits that would make anyone jealous. They aren't just big, they are perfect. These are the kind of magnificent breasts that you hear described in frat boy stories and penthouse letters. The second we take them out they are in bondage and presented for play time. Some girls rely on their looks. They don't have much else going for them. You could easily imagine Krissy being one of those, but she has an insatiable lust for cock that means she is always eager to please. Jack Hammer feeds her all ten inches of his big, black cock and if she could get a word out around it the only thing she would say is "More!" Pleasing others fuels her own pleasure. The way she bucks, moans and pants give her away. The orgasms she's having now are the best of her life. We deliver nothing less.Format: mp4Duration: 49:17Video: 1280x720, AVC(H.264), 6760kbpsAudio: 106kbps

Our Pretties
These are some qualities that make a person different from others. People often say about me that I am not like others. I don't think that I am something special. But to cut the long story short I think I am a good humoured, very responsible, hard working and emotional person. I like creativity and appreciate this trait in others. I prefer to associate with clever and polite people.
I love to read books, also fond of philosophy and art. I adore travelling, seeing other people, their traditions, customs, to get acquainted with their culture, going sightseeing. Besides I like different kinds of music, I like music with rhythm you can dance to.
Need partner: 19 - 60 years old
I look for aim-determined man with position in life. The man who is looking for fair relationship and partnership with his woman and eager to share activities, ideas with her. I look for support and care in my man. I'd like us both to feel comfortable in silence and in discussion. I would like to feel like behind wall with him.
