New York Times best seller Eric Jerome Dickey revisits the scene of his holiday romp Naughty or Nice, featuring the McBroom sisters, whose romantic adventures make for a white (hot) Christmas.
Listeners first met the McBroom sisters in Eric Jerome Dickey's New York Times best seller Naughty or Nice. In the highly anticipated sequel, Naughtier than Nice, we find out what happens on the other side of the fairy tale.
The lives of Frankie, Tommie, and Olivia (Livvy) haven't turned out quite as planned. Frankie has a pair of stalkers. The life that Tommie had dreamed of having with Blue has become anything but perfect, and Olivia, despite her efforts, hasn't been able to get over the psychological barrier caused by her husband's affair in Naughty or Nice.
Frankie's life has taken on an element of danger, and she calls upon Driver, an ex-con who first appears in Dickey's Drive Me Crazy, to bail her out of a potentially life-threatening situation, but that is a secret she has kept from her sisters.
Tommie and Blue are now engaged, but due to something her more-mature love has done, the wedding is indefinitely on hold. As Blue and Tommie remain the perfect couple in public, Tommie has found herself physically attracted to a younger man. But that is a secret she has kept from her sisters.
Livvy is trying to recapture the adventure she had during her revenge affair. She is seldom intimate with her husband, Tony, but when she has relations with him, it is by her rules and under certain conditions - it has to be a ménage à trois. But that is a secret she has kept from her sisters.
Though the sisters are as close as any sisters could be, none wants the other two to know the dark secrets she is hiding. And during this season, all of the McBroom sisters are naughtier than nice.

"Awesome Read!"
jerome kept me entertained from start to finish. i love reading his novels. A mist read for everyone.
"Loved the story...voices not so much"
EJD did it again!!! Phenomenal book but the voices weren't the best. I hated the baby voice for Monica because Monica was older. Livy's voice sounded very robotic and not like a person at all. I loved Thommi's voice...she was wonderful! Overall...I'd give it 4 stars.
"almost perfect"
I wished there was more variety in the voices chosen to read the book. other than that it was great
"Not bad I have read better from author."
I love everything by and about this author but this book was just okay it was a little unrealistic for me.
"Wow! Hot and Heavy! Wow!"
Eric you have done it again. WOW! I'm left Speechless. I couldn't put this book down.
"Drawn Out"
I'm a huge EJD fan but something about this one didn't completely do it for me. I liked the plot but I think the story line was just too drawn out. You knew how it was going to play out chapters before it happened.
"Best book ever!"
This book is full of surprises. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Mr. Dickey for the experience.
"another riveting book"
Eric Jerome dickey has a knack for books that keep you at the edge of your seat! this was great!
"An Amazing Book"
Very entertaining. I didn't read the first book but I will be getting it now. I listened to this book day & night. I loved it!! The only problem with this audio was the woman who narrated Frankie's role. OMG it was horrible! Many times I wanted to skip through her part & I would have done so if this book wasn't so good. I will never listen to a book she narrates
"Love love love"
One off my favourite author love listening and reading his books loved the storyline had my jaw dropping a few time as well bur great

I stare at Mackenzie. Look at her with her prefect hair and nice eyes. Dang it! Why am I not like her?! I have all the same make up products (not that I stalk her at the supermarket!) and I have the exact same size uniform! (Looked in her wardrobe last year at her party). But I look nothing like her! Why is that? She makes it look so different, so...better.
Mackenzie looked at me and caught me staring at her. I think she thinks that I am some kind of leso or something because I keep looking at her and kind of going off in some kind of dream world or something. She can tell.
I feel stupid.
"What's with you!?"
"I don't know, I am...just looking."
"At me?"
"Why do I look nothing like you?"
"Because you're not me!"
"But I nearly am."
"I have all the same things as you, same height, same size, same age and stuff."
"Huh? How do you know?"
"That's confidential."
"Whatever. You're creepy."
"Yeah you! Who do you think I was talking to?!"
"Shut up! I didn't mean to start a fight."
"What? Why didn't you know that staring at someone will start a fight?"
"Because I am not too focused and obsessed with people staring at me."
"The only people that are allowed to look at me like that are boys and my admirers."
"How do you know that I don't admire you?"
"Because you don't."
"Yes I do."
"For what?"
"Saying that."
"If you try to deny it, you can't."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Why not?"
"I actually caught it on tape."
"I always keep a tape recorder in my pocket."
"OK. That's weird."
"I want to use things like threats in court. But I need proof. So it's actually quite a smart idea."
I don't want to admit it but it's actually an awesome idea. "Whatever."

The Prologue
Once upon a time people spoke of a beautiful rose that holds a fairy's tears and the tears spilled on the rose making it crystallize.
Most people believed it to be just a fairy tale and didn't believe it existed so it was lost in time.
But only one person thought it was truly real and has searched endlessly for its resting place.
That one person is sinbad the pirate, and his band of loyal pirates.
But alice never said why he wanted it or her so there must be some more meaning to it then she's telling ashley.
Well we will have to see in this new adventure for the fairies of nightix.
Can you hear me?.
The sky is limitless and blue.
The sea is endlessly large.
To you, please remain smiling or else I will cry.
You don't have to look around anymore because the world is in these hands.
Wanting to cry, wanting to run.
If you forget happiness then sing.
Light was born and dark was born, the two are one.
Feeling harmonia, telepathy.
Can you hear me?.
The cloud is white and drifts aimlessly.
The rain isn't black and crying anymore.
When you look up, you'll notice that single line.
Someday, the heart calls hallelujah.
The wren that searches for an unchanging song.
Can you see that we're all connected with an unseen thread?.
Feeling lonely, at the brim of being alone.
If you're buried, close your eyes and sing.
Even if we're apart on that same land, under that mistletoe.
Feeling harmonia, telepathy
Can you hear me?.
To that dreamer, with love I will deliver happiness wherever so sing.
If you forget happiness then sing.
Light was born and dark was born, the two are one.
The final harmonia, telepathy.
Can you hear me?.
2d went into ashley's room and she was still sleeping.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed her back, making her giggle.
"Sweetheart it's time to wake up"
She kept on laughing when he kept on rubbing her back. "Stu stop I'm ticklish!"
He laughed and gave her a quick kiss on her back before moving to the side so she could sit up.
She yeaned and rubbed her still tired eyes.
"Good morning stu"
2d smiled and kissed her forehead, making her blush and smile.
"Good morning sweetheart… How did you sleep?"
"Fine… Where are the others?"
"There in the living room trying to figure out the map"
"Ok I'm going to get dressed"
He nodded his head and let her get dressed, she joined the other's and took her seat.
"Guys I think I understand the map… It's going to lead us to a castle that's hidden in a mountain and the only way we could get into the castle is by making a stone called the white godstone… But we need two different stones to make it"
"We should ask queen serenity about the stones"
When everyone got to her office green said.
"Queen serenity do you where all of us could find two stones so we can enter a castle that has the crystal rose?"
Queen serenity got from her desk and took out a book from the bookcase and opened it up before handing it to her.
"The first stone is the sulfuric ore that can be found in the loltun cave and the second stone is a silver ore that can be found in a silver mine in montana… Then you must bring the ore's to the black smith here in the crystal city"
Greena closed the book and handed it back to her before leaving with the other's.
"We have to go to earth to get to the two places but murdoc put this on first"
She handed him a black jacket with a hoodie on it.
Greena smiled and gave him a kiss. "Because if someone see's that you have green skin then they'll think you're weird"
Murdoc's mouth was open and he looked shocked.
"Love I take affiance at that"
She stuck her tongue out playfully and kissed him again.
"Murdoc I was kidding!... You look great either way"
He rolled his eyes but putted the jacket on anyway.
They walked to a bakery and saw the many different yummy looking sweets that were on display.
There were candy-covered apples, strawberry cake, raspberry tart, strawberry's dipped in chocolate and ashley's favorite dessert apple pie and many more.
"Everything in the window looks so delicious!"
Rose said while drooling a little bit.
Everyone went inside and got there treats and sat down outside.
Ashley was eating a piece of apple pie that's topped with chocolate ice cream while 2d had a strawberry sundae with almonds.
"Sweetheart I take a bite of your apple pie?"
"Only if you let me taste your strawberry sundae"
She cutted a piece of her pie and gave him a taste of it.
"How is it?"
Then he took a spoonful of his sundae and handed it to her.
"Oh!... It's sweet!"
He laughed and they continued to eat, afterword's they walked down the street to get to the loltun cave.
But blaze and her goons showed up to cause trouble like always.
"Oh my god you guys are getting on my fucking nerves!"
Ashley looked at blaze and wished for her to go away.
"A trait we have in common… Now it seems that you will get your Believix powers but let's see if all of you could stop a burning building… Dragon fury!"
Blaze's attack set the whole building on fire and there were people screaming and they left, leaving ashley and the others to clean up her mess.
She and the others quickly joined hands and said.
"Ashley!... Fairy of the black crow!"
"Greena!... Fairy of grass!"
"Rose!... Fairy of roses!"
"Harmony!... Fairy of light!"
"Noodle call the fire deportment and keep the other's safe"
2d ran over to her and gave her a quick kiss before letting her go.
The girls used their fairy dust to stop the fire and it made them die out a little bit, giving them time to enter the building.
They flied up a flight of stairs and splitted up, taking two rooms each.
"Is anybody in there?!"
Greena kicked the door down and heard a little girl scream that seemed to be coming from the closet that was near them.
They coughed but despite that they were going to save the little girl.
"Hold on!"
They quickly got her out of there and quickly left the still burning building and saw rose and harmony with a man and his son.
The fire deportment was there and putted the fire out.
There were loud sirens and red flashing lights going off and there were other people looking very scared and concerned.
"Is everyone alright?"
Ashley looked at the people that were shocked to see her as a fairy.
"Daddy she's a fairy!"
"A true fairy!"
The girls were worried that they would hate them and not believe in them but something wonderful happened, everyone said.
2d and the other's looked at them and were smiling.
"They got there believix powers!"
He ran up to ashley and spinned her around two times before kissing her.
"You look beautiful sweetheart"
She blushed and smiled. "Thank you my stu-pot"
Murdoc hugged greena and kissed her as well.
Greena smiled and gently touched his cheek.
"I love you to murdoc"
Ashley looked at everyone and smiled
"Thank you everyone for believing in us!"
Everyone smiled too and nodded their heads, they were being secretly watched from the alleyway by a man and he revealed himself.
"My name is sinbad the pirate and I understand that all of you are looking for the map to get the crystal rose"
Ashley and the other girls quickly went into their battle stances but sinbad putted his hands up and shooked his head.
"Whoa let's not get excited!... I'm not here to fight you guys I'm just trying to find the map that's all"
She was not convinced but at the same time his words seem to be truthful.
"Why are you getting the rose for and why do you need it?"
"Tell me your reason and I shall tell you my mine"
"Me and my friends are trying to get two stones that are the sulfuric ore and the silver ores to make the white godstone to enter a old castle that you almost destroyed"
When sinbad heard that he burst out laughing, making the others surprised and wandering what was so funny.
"Did alice give you I destroyed and steal things speech to you guys?"
"Yeah… But alice said she wanted it as well"
Sinbad rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Look… Whatever alice told you is not true and she's a bad woman and yes I'am a pirate"
Rose was kind of interested in him, maybe kind of a crush but she shook her head.
'He's a pirate and I'm a princess and I'm sure he has a girlfriend already'
"Rose are you alright?"
"Huh?... Oh yeah I'm fine noodle"
"I told you my reason now you have to tell me yours"
Sinbad sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well the reason is because I never had a girlfriend and I wanted to give it to her as a present"
"Really?... That's the real reason why you want it?"
Ashley looked at 2d and smiled at him while holding his hand and he returned her look.
"Well then let's go get the ores"
Everyone got to the loltun cave and searched for the ore.
"There it is!"
The yellow ore shined brightly that was in the stone wall and it was a beautiful stone.
"Now a little magic and tada!"
A silver pickaxe appeared in front of ashley's hands and with three swift hits a piece of the sulfuric ore fell on the ground.
"Alright!... Only one more to go"
Then they transported themselves to the silver mine to get the silver ore.
Just as she done before she hitted the wall and the piece of silver ore fell between her feet.
"Now we have both of the stones so we can go back to the crystal city and finally make the white godstone!"
Everyone stepped back through the portal and was at an ally in the crystal city.
They went to the black smith shop and saw many different weapons on the walls.
"Um excuse me are you the black smith?"
"Yes I'am miss!... What can I help you with?"
"Well queen serenity said that we should bring these two stones to you to forge the white godstone"
"I see… Give me a moment and the stone will be ready"
The smith went to his work table and gripped gold and white powder and his hammer.
Blue energy went into the hammer and once it was powered up he spilled the two powders on the stones and smashed them and they morphed into the legendary godstone.
After a second he came back out and handed them the stone.
"Here it is"
"Thanks… How much do we have to pay you for your services?"
"It's free miss"
She nodded her head and all of them left the shop.
Rose took out the map again to show them the mountain as well as how to get there.
"We have to use our zoomix wings to get to the mountain quickly… Zoomix!"
Everyone joined hands and they quickly disappeared out of sight and appeared next to the bridge that leads to the castle.
The whole castle was covered in white snow and a part of the roof was broken, letting the snow fall inside.
"Sinbad you were right"
"Of course I'am!... I'm more smarter than my crew is well there smart in their own way"
Rose giggled and smiled at him when he smiled at her.
They crossed the bridge and used the white godstone to open up the large gates before going inside.
The inside was dark and ruined and there were cobwebs on the ceiling and the room was completely covered in dust.
They walked down one of the hallways and saw a beautiful gentle pink glow coming from a room that had a flight of stone stairs leading up into it.
Once they were inside the pink crystal rose was on a wooden carved table with a red torn cloth and it was protected by a glass dome.
Sinbad walked up to the dome and pulled off the lid, but as soon as he touched it four monsters appeared in front of all of them.
Ashley and the girls joined hands and said the magic word.
"Ashley!... Fairy of the black crow!"
"Greena!... Fairy of grass"
"Rose!... Fairy of roses!"
"Harmony!... Fairy of light!"
Sinbad went to protect murdoc and the rest but one of the monsters slashed his arm, he fell on his knees in pain and holded his bleeding arm.
Rose quickly ran over to him and got down on her knees and gently touched his back and chest.
"Sinbad are you alright?!"
He weakly smiled and looked at her while trying to make the bleeding stop.
"Yeah I'm fine rose… Thank you"
She blushed and used her healing powers to heal his wound before continuing to fight with the girls.
But the monsters weren't getting damaged so they quickly joined their hands again and a red aura surrounded them.
The gold glowing sphere raised up into the air and it exploded into gold fairy dust, destroying the monsters just like that.
"We did it!"
"Alright nightix!"
Everyone smiled and laughed, sinbad took the rose from the table and walked up to rose.
"Here rose… Will you be my girlfriend?"
Rose was shocked but she smiled and jumped up and kissed him.
"Yes!... Yes I'd love too!"
The other's smiled as they watched their best friends be happy together.
I close my eyes and see his eyes.
So soft and warm and clear.
I dream awake of holding her.
I dream that she's right here.
I sense in all his silences.
More than his words could say.
"Don't fight your feelings" Say's my heart, a heart I will obey.
Am I feeling love?.
Am I feeling love?.
Can it really be happening to me?.
Am I feeling love?.
For sure, a most unlikely match.
Implausible and strange.
But when it seems my heart and I refuse to rearrange.
Am I feeling love?.
Am I feeling love?.
Can it really be happening to me?.
Am I feeling love?.
I think, I feel, he'd be there for me.
I feel, I think, I could be there for her easily.
Am I feeling love?.
Am I feeling love?.
Could it really be happening to me?.
Am I feeling love?.
Am I feeling love?.
This first time feeling.
So sweet healing.
It has me asking.
Am I feeling love?.
Guys the second movie is finally done and finished!.
Oh man this took me a long time to make because I'm writing other stories that I'm probably not going to post on fanfiction but I will if all of you want me too.
And I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my stories and telling me what to improve on you know things like that so thank you. ^-^

Day 1
... to be one by each one of us so we offered to sit together so they could sit together. It worked out we were able to chat and it is such a small plane it was nice not to be seating next to a stranger. I hope I brought enough warm clothes or I might be shopping tomorrow. I might go shopping either way as we only have a couple hours in the intelex office tomorrow morning then nothing til Wednesday when the conference starts. Since I have a hunch this will be our last intelex conference ...
Houston, we're not Kennedy Space Center
... for the Orion programme, which will see people land on Mars in the mid 2030s. It was a really interesting building and cool to see actual workers doing their stuff. Third stop on the tour was a look at a rocket that was built for the Apollo programme but never got launched due to funding being pulled. It was interesting to hear the retired rocket scientist talk about the three stages of the rocket and what powers each of them. The rocket is ...
On the road again...
Another drive today, this time to Seabrook which is 20 minutes south of Houston. It was a 4 hour drive and we were surprised by the amount of greenery and trees around during the drive. We expected more sparse areas, desert and brown. The drive took us right through Houston, and it got a little hairy driving through it because of some crazy drivers. Fortunately ...
Let me start by saying that I haven't slept in 2 days. Therefore, please don't hold my grammar or spelling against me. I may also fail to express myself clearly. This is me apologizing ahead of time. The good thing is that pictures can speak a thousand words. Hopefully, you will at least enjoy the pics! Today I left for Honduras! My plane was scheduled to take off at 6:30am, which meant I had to get there by 4:30am, which meant I had to leave my house no later ...
... good for the soul. Anyway we walked down past the pier and to where the lifeguards were and layer out our towels and went straight into the Gulf of Mexico which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. This to both of us what the doctor ordered. We loved it, the water was warm and we did some body surfing back into the beach. It was hard to get out. This is what a holiday feels like when you do these things and the beach didn't have hat ************e on it. We had a bit of a sun ...

Can anyone ID this guy for me?
He's a walmart rescue I guess you could say. Got him for $1.76! Right now he is in my 20 gal quarantine tank and I'm not sure I'll even end up putting him in my other tank, giving him to my mom(who has a 55 gallon), or giving him to my LFS. I just wanted to get him out of the deplorable walmart conditions. He was in a tank full of fancy guppies lol. Anyway, he is a pinkish color and has no markings...what do you think he is?
post #2 of 3 Old 08-15-2011, 09:10 AM
Well going by where you got him he very well could be a pink convict cichlid.
"responsible fish keeper?... Didn't know there was any other kind"
I am not retarded I just can't spell
post #3 of 3 Old 08-15-2011, 12:41 PM
Definitly looks like a pink convict, and looks like possibly a female, think can see the start of some orange on the belly, probably still too young to tell for sure. For yours and your moms tank may or may not work depending on what is in there. They are pretty aggressive, especially when spawning. You can check out their profile in the cichlid section of the profiles. The link can be found at the top of the page second tab from the left.

Fiorina's Stereotype-Smashing Performance
It may be weeks before the results are in on whether Hewlett-Packard's (HWP) shareholders, in a Mar. 19 vote, approved the company's merger with Compaq Computer (CPQ) after one of the most hotly contested internal battles in recent corporate history. What's already clear, though, is the likely legacy of HP's omnipresent CEO, Carly Fiorina.
R Musicians Are Gaining Bigger Voice In Orchestras
When the New York Philharmonic anointed Lorin Maazel as its new music director with widespread approval from its players, the oldest American orchestra was following a quiet but steadily growing national trend to bring musical democracy to the stage.
Driven partly by financial strains and declining audiences, many orchestras in large and midsize cities are experimenting with power-sharing arrangements that defy the traditional musical hierarchy that placed players under the rule of highly paid conductors and powerful, wealthy board members.
Women a Century Away from Breaking California Glass Ceiling, Study Says
Women business executives in California hoping to reach parity with their male counterparts may have to wait awhile-–say, a century, according to UC Davis. This article reports on the study, which showed women are a long way from cracking the state's glass ceiling, since the percentage of female leaders at the 400 largest public companies headquartered in California–-which together represent nearly $3 trillion in shareholder value–is growing just 0.2% a year, according to the report.
Study: Women Still Not Getting Full Share of Top Exec Jobs
The glass ceiling still hovers above the heads of female business leaders, and will for a long time, according to a new study from the University of California Davis. This article reports on the the annual UC Davis Study of Women Business Leaders, which showed that the proportion of women who hold top positions in California is growing so slowly that it will take more than 100 years to catch up with their male counterparts.

In the early days of a new hung parliament, the Prime Minister is beset by myriad problems: the cabinet is split, the national debt is rising, the Lancaster House convention is a catastrophe and the new oil pipeline deal with Kumranistan depends on the Turks joining the EU. There's worse to come: the pipeline deal, and a huge dollar loan, further hinges on the material whims of the Kumranistan foreign minister, a weekend guest at Chequers, being properly indulged. And his whim of choice is an under-age sexual partner for the night. "Is he gay?" asks an aide. "If only it were that simple," shoots back the PM.
The PM, of course, is Jim Hacker, resurrected by the Yes Minister authors Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn (who also directs), and embodied by a mustachioed, thin-on-top, plosiveDavid Haig, for a new stage play that owes less to their stylish half-hour comedy series than the collected works of Ray Cooney, with added complications.
The under-age sex theme is calculated to rock the Chichester audience as much as to expose the lengths to which politicians might go in order to justify immoral actions. But the chill air of bad taste and perversion is a dampener to farce, which must always seem innocently lunatic, unless it's French farce, and that only stretches to adultery.
Still, the sight of David Haig bending his body into self-justifying contortions is indeed one for sore eyes, and his outbursts are occasionally vintage: "I don't know what else I don't know, do you know?" he cries at a moment of utter bafflement, and when it's suggested that he might intervene with the cook's daughter, who is threatening to bleat to the Daily Mail, he literally combusts, Gordon Brown-style: "I don't talk to ordinary people unless there's an election going on."
We never see the cook (an illegal immigrant), or her daughter, or indeed the Kumranistan foreign minister. But the oak-panelled, book-lined Chequers sitting room is also occupied by familiar characters: Henry Goodman's silkenly superior Sir Humphrey only falters when it emerges that he's advising a bank to buy up euros big-time in exchange for a directorship he's lined up. While Jonathan Slinger's brilliantly febrile Bernard, Jim's jumpy Principal Private Secretary, smooths over the cracks with impenetrable Latin tags.
There are several plot-lines that result in more of a pile-up than a happy fusion, as we leap from the economic crisis to the logistics of finding a call-girl on a Friday night and an argy-bargy with the Director-General of the BBC (William Chubb) – who happens to call by for a drink and is urged by the PM to sell off the commercial channels and reduce the licence fee by 80 per cent – to human rights and global warming.
The play doesn't seem dated in its analysis of relationships between politicians and the Civil Service. There's even a new special policy adviser (Emily Joyce) who liaises more directly with the outside world and produces a document that saves Jim's bacon in the closing live television interview with a spot-on Jeremy Paxman impersonator.

We arrived at the hotel and were shocked at how fancy it was. We had a room that had a bedroom, a sitting room and separate bathrooms. After relaxing for a while, we went out to ride the hop on hop off bus around ...

A recently issued government rule may unknowingly create significant liability and legal risk for many technology enterprises. The expanded definition of "business associates" and related interpretations by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) suggest that many companies should revisit how they provide services and ask whether they are providing their services to health care providers, health plans, or health care clearing houses (collectively, "covered entities"). HHS seeks to implement the mandates of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH Act) by modifying its regulatory scheme (the "HIPAA Rules") that implements the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).1 Two of the most important changes involve "business associates," defined as entities that perform functions or activities on behalf of covered entities or other business associates that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information (PHI). Among many other changes, the omnibus rule:
Companies Storing PHI May Be Business Associates
Under the new rule, any entity "that provides data transmission services with respect to protected health information to a covered entity and that requires routine access to such protected health information" is a "business associate."2 HHS considers entities to be business associates when they persistently store PHI; however, entities that act as mere conduits for the transmission of PHI, possessing the PHI for only a brief period of time to facilitate a data transfer, are likely not business associates. Addressing the question of where to draw the line between a business associate and a conduit, in the guidance accompanying the omnibus rule, HHS states that the determination is "based on the nature of the services provided and the extent to which the entity needs access to protected health information to perform the service for the covered entity." In essence, entities that deal with PHI in a transient manner are not business associates, but all other entities are business associates to the extent that they deal with PHI for covered entities or business associates. Many entities historically took the position that because they neither accessed nor maintained PHI in any knowing way, they were not business associates. Instead, they maintained that their activities were incidental to the provision of their services and they should not be treated as business associates under the statute.
Storage Providers May Be Business Associates Even Without Tangible Access or Use of PHI
The newly released rule may give cause for alarm among many technology companies that provide services to health-related businesses. Many such businesses historically have given little thought to whether or not their customers were covered entities under HIPAA. Or, because they did not have access to any PHI, they believed the HIPAA rules did not apply. Under the omnibus rule, however, whether an entity actually accesses the PHI is irrelevant to HHS's determination of whether an entity is a business associate. Per HHS, "An entity that maintains protected health information on behalf of a covered entity is a business associate and not a conduit, even if the entity does not actually view the protected health information." Further, HHS specifically calls out data storage companies and explains that they are in fact business associates, regardless of whether they ever actually access the PHI that they store.
The significance of "maintaining" data for many companies cannot be understated. The application of HIPAA regulations to entities that store data should strongly encourage many entities to consider re-evaluating their policies and compliance strategies and review their client bases to evaluate risk exposure and liability under the HIPAA Rule.
Storage Providers May Be Business Associates Even Without a Direct Relationship with a Covered Entity
HITECH also contains, and the HIPAA omnibus rule reflects, a mandate that subcontractors of business associates be directly required to comply with all regulations applicable to business associates. HHS explained that this requirement reflects an effort to "avoid having privacy and security protections for protected health information lapse merely because a function is performed by an entity that is a subcontractor rather than an entity with a direct relationship with a covered entity."
This regulation shift directly affects data storage providers to the extent that they store PHI downstream from a covered entity. Cloud providers that simply transmit PHI likely are not business associates, but once a cloud provider stores the PHI in anything other than a transient manner, according to HHS, it may assume the role of a business associate, even if (1) it never accesses the PHI, and (2) it did not receive the PHI directly from a covered entity. Even cloud providers that store PHI far down the chain of service providers from the covered entity may have HIPAA compliance obligations. Given that many providers often lack any specific knowledge or awareness of the type and nature of client data they may maintain, and often do so specifically for privacy and security reasons, the new rule could easily catch many off guard.
Compliance Risks for Data Storage Providers: Direct Liability and Civil and Criminal Penalties
Prior to HITECH, covered entities were directly responsible for compliance with HIPAA regulations, while business associates were contractually obligated to meet regulation requirements via their business associate agreements with covered entities. While covered entities could face government enforcement actions, the risk to business associates was historically limited to private lawsuits from their customers and indemnity obligations in most cases.
The omnibus rule makes business associates directly responsible for compliance with applicable HIPAA regulations. From a practical standpoint, for entities formerly contractually obligated to comply, this change may have no effect. However, for entities such as cloud storage providers and subcontractors that may have no—or incomplete—preexisting compliance obligations, the impact is significant. Moreover, a considerable amount of the compliance risks are now shifted from the shoulders of the covered entity to the entities that it works with—and every entity downstream from the covered entity. As HHS stated in the omnibus rule guidance, "we believe that making subcontractors directly liable for violations of the applicable provisions of the HIPAA Rules will help to alleviate concern on the part of covered entities that protected health information is not adequately protected when provided to subcontractors."
Direct responsibility for, and liability for lack of, HIPAA compliance is especially significant in light of the considerable monetary and criminal penalty provisions mandated by HITECH. Failure to comply can result in sizable fines and even imprisonment.3 For example, the minimum fine is $100 per violation, with a calendar-year cap of $25,000 for identical violations, and the maximum fine can be as high as $50,000 per violation, with a $1.5 million calendar-year cap for identical violations. As another example, any person, including an employee of a covered entity or business associate, that commits certain acts knowingly may be fined up to $250,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 10 years.
Notably, while business associates now have direct compliance responsibility, they also retain contractual responsibility and risk. The omnibus rule kept the preexisting requirement that covered entities and business associates execute specific business associate agreements. So, business associates must still provide contractual assurances that they will comply with HIPAA regulations. Further, contractual obligations and risk flow down the relationship chain, as subcontractors also must execute such agreements with business associates. As HHS stated in the omnibus rule guidance, "covered entities must ensure that they obtain satisfactory assurances required by the Rules from their business associates, and business associates must do the same with regard to subcontractors, and so on, no matter how far 'down the chain' the information flows."
In view of these significant changes to HIPAA regulations and HHS's explicit contemplation of data storage providers as business associates, entities that provide such services should consider a review of their policies and procedures for privacy and data security. In doing so, evaluation of customer profiles and relationships and performance of risk assessments regarding potential storage of PHI may make sense. A challenge under the new regulations is the risk that data storage providers may unknowingly receive PHI from clients, and thereby may become subject to penalties and enforcement actions. As a consequence, some businesses may seek to bring their security measures into compliance without knowing for certain whether the rules apply or they may evaluate ways to expressly exclude entities possessing PHI from their services in efforts to avoid unnecessary liability.

This review is from: Cooler Master NotePal CMC2 - Laptop Cooling Pad with 120 mm Silent Fan
Aesthetically pleasing since it is under your pc (compared to what I had before which is a mini fan blowing at the side of my pc)
It isn't strong enough to cool anything. I have been running it for over a week and it doesn't get the job done. My laptop ends up overheating then freezing and crashing. I am going to have to go back to my mini fan aiming at the side of my pc which sucks because it takes so much space up.

You may have heard about the case the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) brought against a company for disciplining an employee based on insults she posted on her Facebook page about her boss. As a result of the publicity this case got, lots of employees are posting nasty comments about their bosses on Facebook, tweeting about how awful management is, and then wondering why the heck they were fired.
But please, please don't post anything in any form of social media you don't want on the front page of the company newsletter.
Don't get fired over something stupid. Here's what you need to know before you criticize your boss:
Concerted Activity
The "concerted activity" provision of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) applies whether or not the company has a union, and covers pretty much every workplace. HR people and management-side lawyers don't like to talk about it because it covers anything employees do for mutual aid or protection. Here's what it says: "Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."
If you're complaining about working conditions—not just your own but also those of your coworkers—you're possibly protected from retaliation under NLRA. Does that mean you should rush to post what a jerk your boss is? No. Not unless you want to be fired.
Over-Broad Policies: NLRB says policies prohibiting all disparaging comments when discussing the company, supervisors, or coworkers are illegal. Similarly, policies that prohibit employees from depicting the company in any way in social media may also violate the NLRA. However, companies may (and probably should) have social media policies that define what employees will be disciplined for when they use social media.
Coworker Input
If you're just venting without encouraging coworkers to weigh in, you might not be protected. If, for instance, you never friend coworkers on Facebook, then you rant about work, you aren't engaging in "concerted activity" that's protected. If you post, thinking it will generate a discussion, and it doesn't, you may or may not be protected. So tweeting that your boss is a jerk when your coworkers don't follow you or comment is probably not protected.
Protesting Working Conditions
Cases where employee comments were protected include an employee who was fired for criticizing unpaid, two-hour sales meetings (also probably protected under the Fair Labor Standards Act and some other whistle-blower laws, by the way); employees who were terminated for sending a letter protesting working conditions and saying that they were being told to spend large amounts of time on the company president's pet project; and an employee who got a written warning for objecting to a supervisor's lecture about radio headset volume. So yes, protesting poor working conditions may well be protected under NLRA.
Intention Is Key
Your intent is all-important. If your employer thinks your intent was to retaliate, damage your boss's reputation, damage the company, or anything but to improve working conditions, then you're probably going to be unemployed.
No Solo Act
Your comments must be part of "concerted activity," which is defined as "being engaged in with, or on the authority of, other employees, and not solely by and on behalf of the employee himself." If you go it alone, you do it at your peril.
False Accusation
If you are fired for suspicion of being involved in discussions with coworker or activity protesting or objecting to workplace conditions, you are still protected even if you weren't actually involved.
When You Might Not Be Protected
There are also lots of exclusions, so many employees aren't protected. Since the NLRA is meant mostly to protect attempts to unionize, supervisors, independent contractors (yeah, yeah, most employers get this wrong), domestic workers, agricultural workers, family member employees, and managerial and confidential employees aren't protected. If you're high enough up, you can't gripe and get away with it.
Procedure for Violations
If you think you were fired or disciplined for criticizing your boss, and you're pretty sure you are protected, don't sit on your rights. You only have six months to file a complaint with the NLRB. They will investigate to determine whether or not there's cause for your charge. They may interview you, at work if you're still there. You can have a union rep or coworker present. A report then goes to the regional director, who decides whether or not the case will go forward. Mostly, the cases are dismissed. Only about one-third of cases go forward. If you're dismissed, you can appeal to the general counsel's office.
If the regional director finds reasonable cause, then they'll first try to settle it. About 90 percent of the cases settle at this stage. If it doesn't settle, it goes before an administrative law judge, and NLRB staff counsel will represent you. You can also have a private lawyer with you, but the lawyer's role is limited, because the case is not yours, but the NLRB's.
If you win, you can get reinstatement, back pay, and interest. You cannot get emotional distress. The statute doesn't provide for an award of attorney's fees, but sometimes they can be awarded as a "sanction." The judge can also order the employer cease and desist their illegal practices.
My Advice:
I still suggest you shut your mouth about any complaints you have, especially in social media. There are just too many ways you can mess yourself up, and the law has too many loopholes to give you much aid and comfort.
The First Amendment doesn't protect you unless you work for the government (or unless somehow your company works with government to restrict your free speech, which is unlikely to apply to your situation). There's no free speech in corporate America.

Hello all from NZ
I promised in a iris-l chat to post the name of the of the aphid control
plant I used in my commercial glasshouse and planted in my own garden.
I did remember it just took me a while to find the " safe place" I put the
orginal packet in with the botanical name on it..... LOL
Phacelia Tanacetiifolia - is an effective and efficent alternative to
chemical pest control by enchaning the population of the thests natural
In this case it attracts the hover fly whose larvae decimate aphid
populations. The blue flower is attractive and has a pleasing scent and it
is suitable for large scale commercial use and for the home gardner.
I only purchased one packets of seed and then just havested my own and grew
the plants on large tubs and just moved them about the glasshoues and garden
as required .
These plants are all I used for 3 years after trying with out sucess to
control the " bugs" with chemicals.
I had over 20,000 lettuce plants in production at any one time that never
got aphids or any of the other nasties that follow them due to this small

Seattle Mariners
Although he has not thrown an MLB pitch in 2017, Felix Hernandez threw 32,674 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2016, he relied primarily on his Change (88mph) and Sinker (91mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph), Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (90mph).
BETA Feature:
Basic description of 2016 pitches compared to other RHP:
His change dives down out of the zone, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. His sinker is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. His curve has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. His fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. His slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. His cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has slightly above average velo.

"The streets were dark with something more than night." – Raymond Chandler
"When you're an orphan at the age of eight," Charles Willeford once said, "you realize that you're the next one to die. You're vision of life is colored by reality rather than pipe dreams." Still, in Willeford's 40-year writing career in an array of genres — fiction, poetry, journalism, screenwriting, autobiography, literary criticism — and life as hard-luck urchin, Depression-era drifter, career soldier, seamy-side carouser, and unconventional college teacher, it's a skewed vision, replete with pitch-black humor.
Indeed, it's a droll noir that becomes immediately apparent with such works as Cockfighter, a book about the sport of cockfighting based on Homer's Odyssey; Honey Gal, about an ex-accountant and novelist who pretends to be the new minister at an all-black church; and 1953's High Priest of California, a tale about a psychotic and violent used car salesman that was rejected by Fawcett's Gold Medal Books as "too weird."
Nevertheless, High Priest, the first in what would become Willeford's San Francisco trilogy (ending with Until I am Dead, later retitled Wild Wives), found a home with a lower-tier imprint of Universal Publishing and Distributing, which came up with a pulp-fic perfect blurb of sordid sorts: "The world was his oyster – and women his pearls! A roaring saga of the male animal on the prowl!"
The oddly fascinating Pick-Up came out the following year on one of Universal's seedy sex lines, Beacon Books, who announced it in similarly sensationalistic fashion: "He holed up with a helpless lush. A story that builds to a shattering climax!" If nothing else, that serves as a succinct summation of Pick-Up's structure, though the devil's still in the details – boy still meets girl, but it's not of the time-honored "meet-cute" manner that you see in the movies:
- … I lit two cigarettes and passed her one. She sucked deeply.
'My name is Harry Jordan,' I said solemnly. 'I'm thirty-two years of age and when I'm not working, I drink.'
Her laugh closely resembled a tinkling bell. 'My name is Helen Meredith. I'm thirty-three years old and I don't work at all. I drink all of the time.'
Harry, once a talented artist, now an habitual barfly trying to hold down a job as a San Francisco coffee-shop counterman, is in the midst of his downward spiral into depression, self-destruction and self-deception, while Helen, having just run away from her marriage and from her domineering mother, is just starting hers. It doesn't help that, as they begin their affair, Henry sees himself as "worse than nothing, a dark, faceless shadow, alone in the darkness," and that, compounding the problem, Helen "always took my moods as her own."
Though tenuous bouts of tenderness and twisted love keep them together, it's mostly a match made in hell as they move in together, commencing a vicious cycle of insignificant triumphs and bigger failures – of cruelty, violence, a couple of botched suicide pacts, stints in the mental hospital, and, finally, murder.
Well, not quite "finally," after all. The homicidal aftermath brings in the bigger nihilistic guns and shadowy ruminations about "the nothingness" of life, but before a concluding plot twist that's either inspired or way out in left field or a little of both, many gaps in the lives of Henry and Helen are bridged that help illuminate their backstories while adding to their tragic cast.
And sometimes you get the cynicism with the elucidation. As Henry says:
- I was bored with my dull life. I didn't want to remember anything; all I wanted was peace and quiet. The silence that Death brings, an all-enveloping white cloak of everlasting darkness. By my withdrawal from the world I had made my own little niche and it was a dreary little place I didn't want to live in or tell about.
That Charles Willeford is able to so deftly tell about this nourish niche is testament to his power and craftsmanship as a writer. We may not want to live in this "dreary little place" either, but Willeford makes it a compelling, affecting, and sometimes absurd world to visit for vicarious thrills and enthrallment.Powered by Sidelines
