I have "The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories 2010" and it is amazing. The stories and the art is just awesome. And I know this book of tiny stories will be just as amazing as the first one. :D
I give props to the many artists who have contributed to the book. It takes talent to come up with a satisfying story in two or three sentences & illustrate the perfect picture that communicates the scene in the strongest way. The book is charming in the most creative & witty way, & very well put together.
The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories is exactly as the title suggests. It is a tiny book and the stories inside are very tiny but don't let that fool you. This is a great book. It took me less than five minutes to read this entire book. The Tiny Book has over 60 contributors all put together into this hard-cover collection by hitRECord and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Each story is just a few sentences that range from funny to heart warming accompanied by wonderful illustrations. This is a book you're going to want to have in your collection.
When I first heard about this little gem, I knew I had to read it for myself. HitRECord, founded by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun, Inception, 10 Things I Hate About You) reviewed contributions from thousands of writers and artists to create this collection. The stories are only one or two pages long. Some are humorous, some of thought-provoking but the real challenge here is telling a story in just one or two pages complete with illustrations. The book itself is very well done. It would make a fabulous gift and honestly speaking, the writing is pretty clever, too. I also enjoyed the illustrations. When it came in the mail, The Girl took off with it thinking it was for her. She read about half of the stories and then asked if she could keep it. Uh, no. Maybe later, like after I've read it! So you see, it's a tasty little morsel. Aside from all the fun of reading a book like this, I think it's important for people to be able to feel as if they have a creative outlet. Often, we want to be creative but the process often seems too difficult or overwhelming. If you are an artist who would like to contribute works for volume 2, check out the HitRECord website.
If you liked "Post Secret" you may enjoy this. I liked it and found many of them very poetic and cute. It's not for everyone, but it would make an intresting stocking stuffer.
Although the book has not come out yet, I have read some of these short stories, and they're great! A book one will enjoy. I can't wait 'til it comes out!

MP4 Files By VGA Video Recording ?
I just upgraded my bold 9790 to os 7.1, and I noticed something different. As far as I know, VGA Video Recording produces 3gp files, and suddenly after the os update, my bold 9790 produced mp4 videos. Anyone have an idea of what's happening to my blackberry ?

Every year around this time we make some promises to ourselves. On the top of most lists is making the year ahead a time to get truly healthy and fit. Easier said than done — unless you plan a trip just over the San Diego border to Rancho La Puerta, a 3,000-acre healthy-living paradise with flowering meadows, landscaped gardens and breath-taking vistas all nestled at the foot of Mount Kuchumaa.
The all-inclusive resort has been integrating ancient principles of health with modern wisdom since 1940 when the Szekely family founded the ranch, which is still family operated.
Guests arrive at Rancho La Puerta for one-week stays via a ranch shuttle bus that picks them up at one of several terminals at San Diego Airport. A 45-minute trip that enters Mexico over the Tecate border is swift and effortless. Upon arrival at the resort, guests are escorted along meandering paths lined with abundant nature to their deluxe cottages situated privately about the grounds. Hand-carved furniture, fireplaces and private patios perfect for bird watching or sunbathing provide a relaxed ambience totally ensconced in nature.
Rancho La Puerta's secure and tranquil estate includes gardens, hiking trails, an organic farm, several pools, extensive spa and fitness facilities, a salon, a spacious dining hall, gift shop and an intimate library — as well as numerous inviting lounges and conference rooms. Activities, classes and spa delights abound on a daily basis, with lots of special lectures and classes tossed in. Most activities do not require a reservation — just drop in if you feel like it. Guests pretty much do as little or as much as they like.
Everything, other than spa treatments and cooking classes, is included in the stay including three gourmet spa meals and snacks, use of all fitness and recreational facilities, spa and library, as well as scheduled group classes (approximately 50 different classes each day, with up to five choices every hour), guided hikes and walks, activities and workshops. Also included are evening programs and entertainment. Tipping is always optional.
Classes are held in large, newly renovated gyms equipped with the latest low-impact floors; water aerobics are very popular. Self-awareness classes, from yoga to Tai Chi are plentiful, as well as daily hikes, from strolling a meadow to a demanding 11-mile trek. Importantly, there is something for all levels of stamina and ability.
More than 70 years of culinary creativity, using freshly picked produce from their own organic garden and natural foods, has resulted in the ranch's recipes that are low in fat, sodium and refined four and sugar, while being high in energy, fiber and complex carbohydrates that keep you going during the most strenuous fitness classes. No starving here — portions are plentiful thanks to the menu's low calorie content and your activity-abundant days.
La Cocina Que Canta (The Kitchen that Sings) has much to croon about. The culinary center at the ranch opened in 2007 and serves as Rancho La Puerta's home to visiting chefs who demonstrate and teach interested guests. With the Cocina situated high on a hill, a favorite guest activity is the breakfast hike to the kitchen that is rewarded with a breakfast fresh from the adjacent organic garden. Twice a year, the ranch hosts a weeklong culinary program with a long list of famed chefs and cooking classes for all interests. One of founder Deborah Szekely's long-time friends is Alice Waters of Chez Panisse fame.
Rancho La Puerta welcomes both men and women from all over the world. However, many visitors are from California. Although the majority of guests are female, couples and single men are prevalent. Meals are served around communal tables, so making new friends is a plus. Partial week stays are also available at the ranch. Check the website for a schedule of planned classes and special events during your "journey to wellness."

His Lips Unzipped: "Is He Having an Affair?"
By Martin Brown
I've been in an exclusive relationship with my boyfriend for 3 months. We've been spending the majority of our weekends together and have gotten pretty close until last week. We hadn't spoken much during the week and when we did, he seemed distracted and made no mention of getting together over the weekend. It's almost a week since we've spoken last. What do you make of this? Seriously, could he be having an affair?
—Bewildered in NJ
There are a variety of possible answers that run the gamut from he's gone cold on the relationship to he's just had a bad week at the office. Those, of course, are not the only possible reasons.
As to whether he's having an affair, I'm guessing that's a long shot for the simple reason that infidelity comes with lies. From what you describe, he's MIA, but that doesn't mean that your relationship is DOA.
No doubt about it, you can run through a hundred different scenarios, and none of them will give you an answer that is absolutely satisfying. Honestly, no approach is better than picking up the phone and calling.
When you get him on the phone, don't give a long and hesitant preamble as to why you're calling, and don't be defensive. Simply say: "We haven't connected during the last week, and I wanted to check in and see how you're doing."
No pressure, no recrimination, just a straight-forward question.
Women tend to over think relationships, while men pay too little attention to the proper care and feeding of a relationship. You're probably wondering if his interests have gone to another woman, but with men it's just as likely that he's in a down mood because he's had a rough couple of weeks at work, and he's not in the mood to talk about his issues.
As a general rule, women communicate at times when men go silent. Let him know that you're available, ready and willing to listen. If he has any genuine interest in the relationship he'll resurface and want to communicate as well. Don't crowd him, but let him know that you are there and happy to hear about what's going on in his life.
Any relationship is as successful as two people want it to be. I hope for your sake that he hasn't decided to move on without telling you, but if that is the case you're better off knowing sooner than later. It's like the advice we got as kids not to take off the bandage an inch at a time. Instead, gather yourself together, remain cool, calm and collected and ask just in the way I suggested.
In all your intimate relationships you always have to assume the position that it's better to know sooner than later. If this is not the relationship that you had hoped it was going to be, have a good cry, process your feelings, and then go out with the girls on Friday night. If indeed this guy was Mr. Wrong, you're that much closer to meeting Mr. Right if you leave him behind, both physically and emotionally.
And, in the end if it was just a bad week at the office, ask now, find out, and move forward.

The Complexity of Equilibria in Cost Sharing Games
- Vasilis SyrgkanisAffiliated withDepartment of Computer Science, Cornell University
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We study Congestion Games with non-increasing cost functions (Cost Sharing Games) from a complexity perspective and resolve their computational hardness, which has been an open question. Specifically we prove that when the cost functions have the form f(x) = c r /x (Fair Cost Allocation) then it is PLS-complete to compute a Pure Nash Equilibrium even in the case where strategies of the players are paths on a directed network. For cost functions of the form f(x) = c r (x)/x, where c r (x) is a non-decreasing concave function we also prove PLS-completeness in undirected networks. Thus we extend the results of [7,1] to the non-increasing case. For the case of Matroid Cost Sharing Games, where tractability of Pure Nash Equilibria is known by [1] we give a greedy polynomial time algorithm that computes a Pure Nash Equilibrium with social cost at most the potential of the optimal strategy profile. Hence, for this class of games we give a polynomial time version of the Potential Method introduced in [2] for bounding the Price of Stability.

Vitamins Minerals In Nutrition
Discussing minerals and vitamins with most people usually leads to questions about vitamin supplements. This topic is so much larger than that.
Your diet should be the first and best source of nutrients for your health, including vitamins. Natural and organic foods have vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that your body needs. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of options from this category should meet your vitamin and mineral needs.
You may be one of the many who believe that conventionally grown foods are just as good as organic produce. Please keep in mind that a farmer who uses artificial chemicals to ward off insects, funguses, and molds also are putting these harsh chemicals into your body. If you use traditional produce you should absolutely use an organic vegetable wash solution to remove as much chemical residue as possible off of the food.
But the pesticides and herbicides aside; the conventional farmer fertilizes to stimulate the plant. This ?forces? the plant to be larger and more colorful than nature intended. But worse yet, because the isolated chemical fertilizers do not build the soil, the very foundation of our nutrition, natural vitamins and minerals in the soil, is eroded and weakened.
The plants we eat take up varying amounts of nutrients from the soil, based on their genetic makeup. Thus, some foods are higher in some nutrients than others. This promotes a varied diet. Organic farmers build up the soil and allow the plants to be nurtured by it. Thus, the soil is rich in natural vitamins and minerals that are drawn up into the plant that becomes our food. So, you see, it isn?t a matter of being an environmental-wacko in eating organic food. It truly is a matter of your health!
But isn?t that easier said than done? Your diet probably includes far too much protein from animal sources, loaded with saturated fats, have no enzymes and lesser amounts of vitamins and minerals. If you eat conventionally grown produce the soil is depleted of minerals that the plant would normally feast upon. Then the problem of processed foods, i.e. cooked, frozen, canned, results in very low levels of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. This means less nutrition for your body.
What are you to do? You have the best intentions to eat right. However, with what seems to be the nutritional odds stacked against you, you have to make do elsewhere. For you the best solution probably is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. But beware, not all supplements are created equal. Look for one that contains pharmaceutical grade vitamins, chelated minerals, and standardized herbal extracts. Your body will absorb the maximum amount possible. These cost a little more, but the higher quality means that you are putting most of the supplement to work in your body, instead of wasting money.
Good health, adequate nutrition, and vitamin supplements do go together. One other remaining question is how much supplementation do you need? Proper meal planning is essential to achieving all of your nutritional goals, including adequate vitamin and mineral intake. An online meal planner can really simplify your task of balancing your diet. Look for one that uses scientifically researched and accurate food nutrient data, like the USDA Food Nutrient Database.
Here?s to your health through good nutrition.

text: Posted March 26, 2013 A 10-year-old North Carolina boy was shot and killed on Sunday evening when his father's shotgun discharged as he sat in his living room cleaning the weapon. The child, Christopher Stanlane, Jr., was hit by the round squarely in the head and killed instantly, police told a reporter for WPDE-TV. "He was pretty careful with [the gun]," the boy's uncle, Robert Simmons, said in a report aired Monday night. "I don't think he meant to hold it in that direction, but the way he was cleaning it, I guess he didn't pay no attention to it and held it that way. There must have been a bullet lodged in the chamber and it fired." http://www.rawstory....eaning-shotgun/ Is it normal to "clean a gun" with it loaded?

A Little Faith
THE BELLRAYSGrand Fury (Vital GestureUppercut)
Okay, lets see a show of hands: How many of you have, at one time or another, bought a record by some group touted as the new MC5, only to find that the disc in question was merely a soggy collection of hard-rock cliches hyped by some overexcitable music critic? Guess thats why you didnt bother to pick up Let It Blast, the 1998 CD debut by L.A.s BellRays. All those Tina Turner fronting the MC5 raves mustve put you right off.
Well, babies, that was your loss. A viscerally charged, speaker-shredding rock experience, Let It Blast was pretty much all it was cracked up to be. Grand Fury, the BellRays fittingly titled follow-up, is even better; the songs are stronger, the playing tighter, the dynamics deeper, the heaviness heavier. The TinaMC5 description is still useful, although the sonic onslaught of guitarist Tony Fate, bassist Bob Vennum and drummer Ray Chin is more reminiscent of Led Zeppelin circa 1969, when whiplash rockers like Communication Breakdown and Bring It on Home were the order of the day. And whereas the MC5 espoused a broad Us--vs.--The Man agenda, tracks like Too Many Houses in Here, They Glued Your Head On Upside-Down and Stupid Fuckin People (undoubtedly the feel-good hit of the holiday season) convey a palpable willingness to duke it out in the trenches on a first-come, first-served basis. Front woman Lisa Kekaula has the earthshaking pipes of an old-time gospel star, but here she sounds like shed rather rip your head off and howl down your throat than preach the virtues of brotherly love. The notable exception is Have a Little Faith in Me, a soulful pledge of love in a time of cosmic upheaval that gives a brief-but-telling glimpse of the tender heart that beats beneath the battle armor.
If theres a downside to this otherwise excellent slab, its the knowledge that the BellRays lineup has changed significantly since Grand Fury was recorded. Chin, who left the band to pursue his MBA, was replaced for a time by Toothpick Elbows Todd Westover, but both Westover and Fate have now split to pursue other projects. As such, Grand Fury serves as more of a snapshot of where the BellRays have been than a signpost to where theyre going. But as snapshots go, its an absolute mutha, and only a pitiable fool would bet against them topping it the next time around.

Rather than reinvent the follow-up process, we sat down with the BDR, documented her standard follow-up procedure (a series of phone calls and emails that stretched over a number of weeks) and automated every step using Marketo , a leading marketing automation platform. Marketo sends first follow-up email. 2. Marketo creates task in CRM to remind BDR to call lead 1 week later. 3.

Data Touches Everything at the Marketo User Summit #MKTGNATION14
I'm almost done with the first day here at the Marketo Marketing Nation Summit, and I have noticed a trend, and it centers on data. The first session I attended was called Marketo & Salesforce: Helpful Audits, Alerts, & Workflow for Rapidly Growing Companies and featured our newest team member Jenny Robertson sharing her experiences from Navicure , building out both Marketo and SFDC workflows and rules to help solve some very common data quality issues. It comes back to data, however — the elephant in the room for personalization. What has driven rise of Amazon?

Do Lead Nurturing Campaigns Always Need an Offer?
The Point
Over at Marketo, Jon Miller wrote a fascinating post recently on " The 4-1-1 Rule for Lead Nurturing " in which he posits (and here I'm paraphrasing) that lead nurturing campaigns don't always need to feature the latest white paper, Webinar, or video, and that these kinds of offers or promotions are best interspersed with what Jon refers to as "educational or entertaining content.". In my last post , I talked about creative campaign ideas for when you have no content to offer. Which leads to another question: do certain types of campaigns even need an offer in the first place?

À propos
The Grassroot Project (TGP) is harnessing the popularity of sports in a powerful way. In a city that faces an AIDS epidemic on par with several African countries—one in 20 adults in Washington DC is estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS—TGP is using sports and athletes to break the silence around this issue.
Each semester TGP recruits all-star athletes from the top athletic programs at DC universities to become health educators. After undergoing TGP's Athletes2Coaches training program, these athletes partner with P.E. classes at 31 DC schools, rolling out innovative sports-based HIV prevention and life skills programs for hundreds of local youth. At the end of each semester, TGP hosts community events that bring all of its youth together to celebrate what they've learned.
TGP was founded by 40 athletes from Georgetown University in 2009, and in just three years has grown to involve more than 400 athletes from four DC universities. Due to its unique programs and deep impact, TGP's work has been supported by corporations like Nike, MTV, and PNC Bank, and has been featured in The Washington Post, Seventeen Magazine, the BET Awards, CNN International, Good Morning America, and ABC's Emmy-nominated Everyday Health.

Tom Krazit, for News.com
Intel is taking its biggest show of the year on the road—and the first stop reflects its future plans.
Next week's Intel Developer Forum will be held about 6,000 miles to the west of its usual location in downtown San Francisco. Beijing will play host to the semiannual conference, which gathers Intel's customers, partners and beat reporters for discussions about the company's plans and performance. The conference kicks off Tuesday with an opening address from Ian Yang, the head of Intel's China operation.
Intel usually takes the speeches and presentations from a San Francisco forum to various other sites around the world. But this time it will unveil its news in Beijing, with no plans for a U.S. counterpart until later this year. CEO Paul Otellini will be a notable no-show, but other Intel heavy hitters will be present to talk not only about the company's upcoming products, but its increasing focus on China as a base of operations.
Technology companies have been obsessed with China for years, eyeing its residents both as customers and workers. China's economy is still on fire, and its people and businesses have more and more disposable income to spend on PCs, mobile phones, televisions and all the other accoutrements of a modern techie. The PC manufacturing industry—especially the fast-growing notebook sector—has set up shop in China to take advantage of the lower cost of labor.
Intel's mission in China is twofold. Like the rest of the technology industry, it sees a source of future growth to offset the maturing PC markets in the U.S. and Western Europe. Industry experts differ on the best products for those emerging markets, but Chinese customers will snap up PCs—and Intel wants to be inside a healthy portion of those systems.
The company's recent announcement that it plans to build a chipmaking factory in Dalian, however, signals that Intel has grander plans than aggressive sales and marketing for China. The company already has a significant presence in China with assembly and test plants located close to the country's burgeoning PC manufacturing industry. But building a plant is a much more expensive and statement-making proposition.
Billions of dollars are required to build a modern chipmaking factory, even an outdated one like the plant Intel is planning for Dalian. Intel isn't going to save a whole lot of money on labor costs, because the real outlays in chip manufacturing are for sophisticated equipment, said Risto Puhakka, an analyst with VLSI Research.
Plus, Intel's plant will be a so-called "greenfield" project, arising on a site where the company has never built a factory, Puhakka said. "It's the first greenfield site for Intel in 15 years."
The plant itself will be outdated by Intel's standards to comply with export regulations designed to prevent certain countries from acquiring the latest and greatest technology. When the factory is completed in 2010, Intel is expected to produce less-important products there such as chipsets or communications chips—rather than top-of-the-line processors—using older technology.
But the technical know-how associated with running a modern chipmaking facility will rub off on aspiring Chinese engineers and entrepreneurs who might want to some day run their own plant, said George Scalise, president of the Semiconductor Industry Association, a trade group representing U.S. chip companies.
"They have the foundries now," Scalise said, referring to Chinese companies such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International. "At this point, they are still struggling to some degree, but they are getting better, and most of the technology and capability they have today is from people that were trained here, worked here, and then moved on over."
This is an issue that some in the U.S. have worried about: If China demonstrates that it has suitable engineering know-how and infrastructure needed to support advanced chip manufacturing, more and more companies might decide to set up operations there and take investment dollars out of the U.S., Scalise said. And Chinese workers trained by foreign companies like Intel might go off and start their own chipmaking operations with funding from the Chinese government, potentially threatening Intel's business far on down the road.

Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"A love story that transcends all boundaries, true?"
I am speechless after reading this book! I've waited so long for Quinn and Blay's story and this one did not disappoint! I could go on and on but I can't say anymore then all the other positive reviewers. This was such a beautiful love story that just transcends all boundaries...it was perfection on paper. I'm so relieved that JR Ward took a chance on the subject matter and gave the fans what they wanted for so long.
This is why she is the master and I am happy to be the follower.
This book is amazing and so worth the time, money, credits,etc.
Say something about yourself!
"Not my favorite in the series..."
Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 2.75
Story Rating: 2.50
Character Rating: 3.00
Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating)
Overall Thoughts:
I listened in Audio so I am marking times not pages.
Here are my 5 main thoughts (this book has been reviewed enough that I don't feel the need to say what other people have said already):
1: Everything between Quinn/Blay (their relationship)could have been cleared up at 7hrs and 4min. Everything that happened after that until the 21hrs 3min mark was all unnecessary drama.
2: No matter how much I love this world, I still get annoyed at the gangsta speak coming out of grown men's mouths! Their mates, for the most part, talk like grown ups so I am kind of perplexed why they don't.
3: Are these books even PNR anymore? I would almost move them into the UF category but I am afraid she would drag out stories even more. In the last 3 (maybe 4) books, the side characters have had more page time than the main couple (relatively speaking).
4: Quinn needs to apologize to Saxton! I am super pissed about this.
5: Blay needed to get out of his own head 3/4 of the book. I mean relationship aside, you didn't know your best friend hadn't had sex in a year. That is on you not him. Everything about their relationship was just miscommunication and manufactured drama.
All of this aside, I am ready for The King. I am hoping for a series reboot of some sort. Something that will make me want to stick with it!
PS: I did like the epilogue and that made me want to root for them as a couple. I think they both need counseling though.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by: Jim Frangione /Length: 22 hrs and 22 mins
Jim is freaking amazing! I really do enjoy his narration. Found out with this book that he even sounds good at 3x speed. Now that is saying something!!!
Same story with different characters. Totally predictable.
I am sure next book can be written by changing name of characters.
Say something about yourself!
"More please!!!!"
I feel like I have been waiting for 10 years for this book, but it was worth the wait! What can I say, in truth I didn't know how JR was going to pull off a tasteful love affair between two men that has spanned both their life times, but it was done properly and wonderfully!
I especially liked the side stories, we hear more about Layla and Score, and we got to know some of our favorites a bit better. There are multiple loose ends and side stories which makes me feel like I am going to be staking JR wards website for news of what's next? Will it be Score/Layla, or perhaps the shadows Tres and Iam will get their own book, and the new players can't be overlooked either especially with one of their fates still up in the air.
"Good story, but Not Her Best"
Of course, I would recommmend this to a friend. The BDB story is so much more than just one book in the series. While, yes, the primary focus of LAL is Blaylock and Quhinn, there is so much more going on than just a gay male romance novel. Yes, it is a gay male romance novel. If you are not comfortable with M/M love stories, than this likely isn't for you.
What JR Ward excels at in this story, is character! She has an undeniable talent for making her characters sympathetic and believable. The story weaves multiple points of view and characters from previous stories.
If you read and love the BDB stories, there is much in this book that moves the story along. minor characters in this book are developed and we see more of the Shadows and other vampires outside the Brotherhood. The BDB world is definitely expanding to create more content for future novels. (yippee)
Jim Frangione IS the voice of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I cannot even read the printed book without hearing his voice in my head as Rhage or Butch. He does an excellent job of differentiating the characters.
LAL Will have a follow-up book DUH! The secondary storylines (Assail and Tres) leave off in the middle! The next book will likely be about one of these males.
LAL is a love story, and if you are a reader of the BDB series, then you know that JR Ward writes like a man, especially when writing from a male point of view. You also know that her male characters are dominant, instinctual, animalistic, aggressive, physical, fierce fighters. You also know that her characters express their emotions physically and her writing is VERY descriptive in intimate situations. She does not back away from Blay and Quhinn because they are male. She gives as much attention to our boys as she did to any of the previous couples.
I'm a grad student with very little time to edit reviews because I'm editing research papers. Forgive the typos. They're made with love.
"Deserves more stars but they're buried in subplots"
Well, here we are, at last. A huge buildup to the story we've all been waiting for, yearning for, expecting to read as soon as J.R. Ward felt comfortable enough to release a gay story to her fans, and it's eased into existence, not with lube (though that was sorely needed and missing), but with subplots. Lots and lots of subplots.
I'm confused by the recent bogged-downness of stories. I can't watch Game of Thrones without realizing viewers only got about 5 minutes for each story and even left out a few because we ran out of time and it'll take forever to move the plot along this way. True Blood has this problem too. Now I read a book with so many subplots that the story I've been dying to read is constantly being interrupted. Part of me wanted to fast forward but how can I when it might jump back to Blay and Qhuinn and I'll miss something? Frustration, Ms Ward, frustration.
(SPOILERS) That said, dang I love Blay and Qhuinn. I don't like that they were both idiots for most of the book - I wanted to smack them and tell them both to fess up already - but the overdone angst did lead to some very hot sex scenes. Only after listening would I reflect on the lack of lubrication and wonder if the receiving party was okay. I mean, ouch.
Deep down, I'm sad that I have to give only 3 stars. I'm a big fan of BDB and I've waited so long for Blay and Qhuinn's story. But there's just too much to ignore. The we-interrupt-this-intriguing-change-of-events-for-SOMEONE ELSE with Assail/iAm/Layla/Xcor/BOB ganbangs etc... Seriously too much juggling. Also, Where was everyone? The Lessers were barely a side note, the Scribe Virgin was missing completely and not a single female in the house other than Beth and Payne are there to help Layla out when pregnancy itself is such a big deal? Where's (the only mom) Bella? Where's (sorta sister) Cormia? And what's more, I have to watch this whole Blay-Qhuinn thing play out with absolutely no help from John Matthew? Even Fritz failed his duty when he let Layla go driveabout without stopping her or telling anyone. I feel like the author totally failed here.
1 star yanked for unnecessary dragged-out angst, and 1 star for every subplot. Oh wait, that's a negative... okay well you can have 2 back for finally writing about Blay and Quinn and making it hot. Good thing Jim Frangione kicked narrative butt and brought you up another notch. Now next time remember SUBplots should never get in the way of plot. I'm not giving up on the BSB yet.
I have a very fast paced life. Audio books are an awesome alternative for me. Long road trips, working out and housework arn't a bore.
"Least of my favorite...."
If this would have been the first book I heard in this series I would not ever listen to another. I love the series but this one caused me to fast forward.
"Really Don't Care For This Book"
I liked the narrator Jim Frangione but the story line, I did not care for and if it continues I will not be buying anymore of the BDB series. I have loved this series but not this story line!
Change the story line back towards the beginning of the series! Not so dark.
masculine, sexy, calm
NO, I would not go see this movie. I should not have bought the book.
Ward continues the brilliantly gritty tale of the BDB. Lots of wrenching twists and turns, further character development and the introduction of intriguing new situations and characters. Plus a cliffhanger and one of The Best Endings EVER!! Without giving it away, the last sentence is worth the cost and effort of reading this book (so don't jump ahead!).
Well done, J.R., well done indeed.
"I laughed, I cried, I loved it!"
I loved it all. I can't wait to listen to it again.
When Qhuinn finally had his Ah-Ha moment!
Eh... I know Jim narrate's the previous BDB Books. I wish he would differenciate the voices of the characters better.
I was down right gitty by the end of the book. This is by far my favorite BDB Book.

As someone who feels that the first act of Richard Donner's Superman movie is the greatest superhero movie ever, I wanted desperately to love Smallville. But the show's campier qualities and convoluted, meandering mythology managed to drive me away in the end. But in many ways, Green Arrow was the breakout character of later seasons and the one best positioned for a spinoff series. That's what The CW delivers -- in a way -- with Arrow, and the pilot episode suggests the show will be more well-rounded and engaging than Smallville tended to be. Read more...
