Review: Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter
Book Description from the back of the
Paperback, 296 pages

Winters has won immortality.
if she wants a life with Henry in the underworld, she'll have to fight for it.
immortal wasn't supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be
crowned Queen of the Underworld, she's as isolated as ever. And despite her
growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he's becoming ever more
distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate's coronation, Henry is
abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the king of the Titans.
the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to
save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless
caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is
the greatest threat to her future.

My Thoughts:
was now Henry's wife. She passed the test, evaded death and gained immortality.
However, after spending her summer in beautiful Greece with her friend, James,
she came home to a cold Henry. No warm embrace and definitely no
welcome-back-kiss. She was disappointed, surprised and slightly worried that
Henry might not want her after all. A lonely time like this was one of the best
times to get to know her. I got to see her desperate side and her pained side. The
author knew how to make me sympathize with Kate but more importantly, the
author knew how to make me feel Kate's pain. I ached for her. On the brighter
side of things, Kate was a goddess now. It came with perks: powers. One of
these was seeing visions. This played an important role in the novel.
wrath will wreck everything. With the help of Cronus, she brought the whole
council on their knees. Henry and the others' lives were in danger. It only got
worse. To save Henry, Kate needed Persephone's help. The gorgeous, too frank
and slightly selfish former queen of the Underworld caused Kate so much pain,
envy, and sadness. But above all, Kate started to doubt. The sisters were so
different from one another. They were opposites.
one of my favorite male characters, broke my heart. I know that he was scared
that his relationship with Kate might end up the same way his marriage with
Persephone did but I can't help flinching and hurting over how he treated Kate
with such coldness. He was distant, unreachable. The growing strain between him
and Kate drove me nuts. I was so frustrated at how Henry acted. After
everything he did, seeing him soften up was worth it. In the end, I understood
why he behaved that way.
writing was still hypnotic and beautiful. I was lost in the words. In the
middle, there were times when the journey felt too long for me but the
suspense, the anticipation of disaster and the disaster itself made all the
waiting worth it. The attacks delivered by Cronus were chilling. What struck me
the most was Cronus himself. He was an intriguing character, very
unpredictable. The ending was the final blow to my heart. It was hopeful,
shocking, tragic and full of danger. I applaud Carter for this.
Goddess Interrupted is achingly
beautiful and bittersweet. I was swept away, wave after wave of emotion. It was
strange how I was caught up with the relief and excitement of The Goddess Test,
looking forward to Henry and Kate's happy future as king and queen of the
Underworld, only to be shocked and pulled back to reality: Henry loved Kate but
he loved Persephone more. This
installment brings the more serious and emotional side of Kate's story, so
people who like heavy and heart-breaking moments will delight in this sequel. Doom
and gloom gets a whole new meaning in Goddess

Unfortunately for me, I didn't like this book. There just wasn't that strong connection that I had with the first book in the series. Though I must admit, the shocking ending has me gearing up for the final installment. It shall be interesting where the author takes this series to. Anyway great review! Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing continuation of the previous book. I had a very hard time putting it up to do classwork. it truly is the best series ever.

backtracing can construct bogus objects
Affects | Status | Importance | Assigned to | Milestone | |
Unassigned |
Bug Description
Due to conservative stack backtracing can construct bogus objects,
which can lead the GC astray.
Enabling heap sanity checks (details of how to do that here) catches
badness during tests.
Changed in sbcl: | |
status: | New → Incomplete |
Changed in sbcl: | |
importance: | Undecided → High |
status: | Incomplete → Confirmed |
This bug description appears to be badly worded. Perhaps the following (providing more information) is better?
"Due to the unique nature of the x86 and x86-64 ports (conservative stack scavenging, no separate number stack, sharing the control stack with alien code), invalid pointers to within heap space may be constructed when performing a backtrace, which then can cause problems detectable via the GC heap sanity checks (not normally enabled).
"To enable the heap sanity checks, edit gencgc.c and set verify_gens to a lower number (such as 0, to verify after every GC), and optionally set pre_verify_gen_0 to a non-zero value. Alternately, use WITH-ALIEN or an EXTERN-ALIEN to access them from Lisp."
As an update to the present description, this isn't bad. However, after updating the heap sanity checks in 22.214.171.124 to account for per-thread storage (mainly control stacks, for d-x allocation), the test suite no longer has any additional failures or problems with the sanity checks enabled, thus this bug may actually have been fixed (not that we don't have other backtrace bugs).

President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formalized the Canada-United States Council for Advancement of Women Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders today, which will lead to new opportunities for women in business. This effort will prioritize support for female entrepreneurs. Ivanka Trump arranged a roundtable meeting with the president, Trudeau, and several businesswomen to discuss women's economic participation in the business community.

Trump and Trudeau also held a joint press conference discussing NAFTA, fighting opioid traffic, and immigration concerns. When President Trump was asked by a reporter about the most important problems facing the United States, he responded that citizens have "no idea how bad or serious," our problems are with North Korea and the Middle East. He said that we must take a "stance of common sense," regarding immigration by only permitting those who love America to live here.
Trump also said that NAFTA will be tweaked to benefit both the United States and Canada. He described the relationship between the two countries as "outstanding," and that the trade situation with Canada was not as severe as it is with Mexico. He promised that the deal between the U.S. and Mexico will be fair. He stated that it is very important to him that everyone is happy with the final trade agreement.
Regarding Canadian immigration, Trudeau stated that they will maintain a safe society while maintaining security. Canada has opened their country to more than 40,000 Syrian refugees. This has caused an outcry from both cities and citizens in Canada. CTV News in Canada has reported that many cities are requesting a temporary halt to the number of refugees because the volume is taxing the housing and social support system. Edmonton police recently arrested a Syrian refugee for assaulting six girls under the age of 16 at a water park. CBC News reported that the assaults prompted calls from citizens to end the refugee program.
Trudeau described the meeting between himself and President Trump as "fruitful," and hopes to continue the friendly relationship while creating good jobs for the citizens of both countries.

Happy New Year 2017
Happy New Year Friends and Family,
Our family transition of our move to northern California was successful and we are so enjoying the welcoming sun each and every day with the wonderful temperatures. We are now experiencing the California winter season, what this means.... morning temps in the mid to high 30's and day temps in mid to high 50's, and rain about every 7-10 days. Only one more month of these chilly temps and then February will welcome us with warmer temperatures into mid 70's, and then each month there after will be warmer yet. We love it!
Jake continues to make many improvements with physical mobility, memory connections and daily life skills. We invested in a StairMaster stepper to assist Jake on the rainy days in California when we can not get out to walk. We normally walk one if not two times a day equivalent to 2.5 miles each walk through the Green Valley area. The Green Valley area provides large and safe walking paths with some inclines for mobility endurance for Jake. We are so thankful to live in this area as there is much green space and is more quiet to meet all of our needs.
Jeff makes it a priority to get Jake out into the community to make social connections to improve daily verbal interactions and daily life skills of decision making opportunities. It is so great to see Jake's interactions with others, where he feels successful and confident to interact with others. He especially likes the young women, and boy do we as mom and dad get out of his way, so he can have this social normalcy back in his life :-)
Starting in February we will be working with ca dedicated service provider to find a walking and social interaction buddy(s) (certified and trained) for Jake to go out on separate outings without Mom or Dad. This way Jake feels he has some independence and freedom for himself and with a certified/trained buddy close to his age, and mom and dad can experience a little freedom at the same time. It will be three years in April since Jake's accident, and we feel that now is the time to allow for some social independence for our entire family. We are thankful to be working with the Easter Seal's Care Giver program to provide us with some care giver choices and quality guidance to ensure Jake will be kept safe and well cared for on his weekly outings.
To celebrate the welcoming of 2017, we will be taking a family vacation to Maui, the end of January through early February. We are looking forward to introducing snorkeling back into Jake's life and to see if he can master this skill once again. Snorkeling for a TBI individual can be difficult as it takes a lot of critical thinking to breath through snorkel, instead of your nose and view underwater views through goggles. We are staying at a location where we have immediate zero entry beach access to introduce this skill in baby steps so he can be comfortable with the progression from just viewing sea life through goggles, then introduction of breathing with a snorkel, then floating with goggles, snorkel and then trying the technique of it all together. We will share our snorkeling learning experiences in February and all of our Hawaii adventures. Jake will be introduced to a lot of firsts again, and we are hoping that this will be a very positive learning experience for him and to bring about lost memories that he has not been able to recover from his accident.
We are hope your new year of 2017 is filled with GRATITUDE and HOPE to celebrate many new positive family experiences, as this is our family focus this year!
With love and cheers ~
Jeff, Naomi and Jacob Harm

David Warner speaks to his team-mate and fast-bowler Peter Siddle about the Australian team's gym sessions ahead of their series against South Africa.
Warner said that the Australians were particularly focusing on strengthening their upper-bodies and hamstrings in the gym and were also looking to make the most of it before the series against the Proteas kicks off.
Warner said that he hoped the wickets in South Africa would aid pace bowling and also hoped that the side were to be in good nick before the first Test against the Proteas at Centurion.

Northern Europe Cities from London ex Southampton Return
Take advantage of this deal today!
Get a consultant to call you:
8 Night Cruise sailing roundtrip from Southampton aboard Norwegian Jade.
Northern Europe Cities from London ex Southampton Return
Come aboard and experience 8 Night Cruise Sailing roundtrip from Southampton aboard Norwegian Jade and discover incredible European cities including Rotterdam. A drive through Rotterdam's industrial outskirts to nearby Kinderdijk will be breathtaking as you witness the largest collection of windmills in the Netherlands with 19, many in working order. When you arrive in Copenhagen, tour the city's famous landmarks including The Little Mermaid, inspired by H. C. Andersen's fairytale, and beautiful Tivoli Gardens. Then do a little sightseeing, shopping and dining in Hamburg.
Highlights of this cruise:
Southampton (London), England
Protected from the frequent storms of the English Channel by the Isle of Wight, Southampton has survived a turbulent history to serve as a principal port of the United Kingdom today. Pay homage to one of the most famous ships to sail these shores at the Mayflower Memorial. Visit the stoic walls of Bargate and the Tudor House Museum.
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Admire the bold modern architecture intermixed with classic 18th and 19th century buildings. Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands and it was completely rebuilt after WWII. As the largest port in the world, this city will draw you in with inspiring sights.
Oslo, Norway
Imagine sailing on the incredible Viking long ships in the Viking Ship Museum. Picture perfect, the oldest Scandinavian city sits at the head of a 60-mile fjord framed by lakes, woods, moors. Views forever, visit the cliff-dwelling Akershus Castle, originally built in 1300.
Copenhagen, Denmark
The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is filled with canals, cobbled squares and copper spires. But don't let the historic appearance fool you. This is also Scandinavia's most cosmopolitan city. Certainly you can relive medieval times in The Latin Quarter, but you can also enjoy some of Europe's finest shopping, museums, cafes and nightlife prior to your cruise around the Baltics.
Hamburg, Germany
Nestled along the beautiful Elbe River lies exquisite Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany. You can barely tell that this illuminated metropolis traces its history to the year 831. And while there are plenty of modern buildings to see, like the highly anticipated Elbphilharmonie along the water, it's Hamburg's older culture that can be most exciting. Try a visit to the Fish Auction Hall and Market, an open-air market that's been hawking local wares since 1703. Your visit promises authentic local culture, because it's not just a market. It's a neighborhood scene, a great place to absorb local color. And that means you might be lucky enough to catch the occasional rock band playing there in the morning, alongside locals selecting their evening meals from the catches of the day. Model enthusiasts shouldn't miss the spectacular Miniatur Wunderland, a massive model exhibit that leaves visitors speechless with its detail and realism. Of course, there's historic architecture all around and a lovely botanical garden at Park Planten un Blomen. With something for everyone, there's no question you'll have a guten tag in Hamburg!

I Love Andalusians Hi I'm Rachel. I've got 6 years of experience with horses. I've had too many horses to list but I think my first pony needs a special mention. Very pretty dapple grey cob gelding around 13Hh now. Named Snoopy and I had him on loan from a lady named Lynn. I currently own a bay andalusian filly named Lupita, she was two years old on the 3rd of March. She came all the way from Spain. She is already almost 15Hh now. She will be a big girl. And I have a welsh mountain pony, bright bay, named Billybob. He is very a cheeky mister. Almost 3 years old, and 12Hh. Had him since he was 4 months. I've worked for horse dealers breaking in new horses. I've had the pleasure of riding and handling andalusian's including the stallions. I hope to oneday breed my own black andalusian stallion from my beautiful filly, Lupita. Rachelx |

Toll reported a 41% decline in revenues for the quarter, its fiscal fourth, to $691 million as units in completed contract communities (closings) fell 34.6% to 1,079. Net signed contracts fell 18% to 539 units with a sales value of $266.7 million, a 27% decline, both compared to last year's fiscal fourth quarter.
"Until the last month, our FY 2008 fourth quarter net contract total was shaping up to be about the same as FY 2007's fourth quarter total," said Robert I. Toll, said chairman and CEO in a prepared statement."Unfortunately, the preliminary signs of stability we had discussed in early September, during our 2008 third quarter earnings call, were upended by the past month's financial crisis."
As negative as the preliminary results were, they came ostensibly in line with expectations at Raymond James, J.P. Morgan and Wachovia Securities. Carl Reichardt at Wachovia wrote in a note to investors, "While core metrics came in about as we expected, we note that on a per store basis, TOL's orders remain the weakest in our coverage universe at 0.15 orders/community/week." But, he added, "TOL's cash balance is among the highest in our coverage universe."
Fourth-quarter cancellations totaled 233, a rate of 30.2%, up from 19.4% in the fiscal third quarter but below the 38.9% rate posted in last year's fiscal fourth quarter. As a percentage of beginning-quarter backlog, FY 2008's fourth-quarter cancellation rate was 9.0%, up from 6.4% in the previous quarter.
Average prices fell 14.5% to $495,000, owing to a higher average price($785,000) of cancelled units this quarter compared to the fiscal third quarter ($606,000).
Fourth-quarter-end backlog value decreased 54% from last year's fourth quarter to approximately $1.33 billion, with units down 48.2% to 2,046.
The company cut its community count to 273 selling communities at the end of the 2008 fiscal year, down from 315 at the end of fiscal 2007. Its land holdings at quarter's end was approximately 46,000 lots owned and optioned, compared to approximately 91,200 at peak at the end of second quarter of 2006. Approximately 14,000 lots are already improved, the company said, although they are not spread proportionately across all regions.
"This means we can conserve cash in many markets where we don't need to continue to improve lots to get them to market," said Toll. He added, "We continue to renegotiate, and in other cases reduce, our optioned land positions."
Twelve-month net contracts of approximately $1.61 billion (2,927 units) declined by 47% from FY 2007's twelve-month net contracts total of $3.01 billion (4,440 units) and unconsolidated entities in which the Company had an interest signed contracts of approximately $52.6 million.
The company ended the quarter, and the fiscal year, with $1.63 billion of cash and another $1.32 billion available under its 33-bank credit facility, which matures in March 2011. It said it has no public debt maturities until 2011.
The company said it expects to record between $120 million and $220 million in pre-tax write downs for the quarter when it reports earnings on Dec. 4.It also said that given the uncertain state of the economy, it could not provide earnings or operational results guidance for the coming fiscal year.
Analysts took the impairment estimates relatively positively. Buck Horne, home building analyst with Raymond James, said in a research note, "The midpoint of this range is slightly higher than our previous estimate for $150 million of land-related charges during F4Q08 but, we believe, could likely come as a relief to some investors speculating that a larger year-end impairment would have been necessary."
Given the significant uncertainty surrounding sales paces, cancellation rates, market direction, unemployment trends and numerous other aspects of the overall economy, we are not comfortable offering delivery, revenue or earnings guidance for the coming year."
In the statement, Robert Toll urged Congress to act to directly stimulate the moribund housing market. "Congress has allocated hundreds of billions of dollars to reset mortgages, help people who are in foreclosure, and protect those who have been the victims of rapacious lending practices," he said."We believe that, if home prices are not stabilized, these efforts will be for naught, more mortgages will go under, and the taxpayers' money will have been wasted. We urge Congress to stimulate demand by reducing mortgage rates and fees and by providing incentives such as a buyer tax credit for the purchase of all types of homes."
Toll also forecast a further shakeout in the home building business. "As we look to the future, we see reduced competition from the small and mid-sized private builders, whose access to capital is very constrained. We believe this less crowded playing field, combined with attractive long-term demographics, will reward those well-capitalized builders who can persevere through the current challenging environment."

ATI and Nvidia Announce New Chips
Yesterday both Nvidia and AMD ATI announced new high-end mobile graphics solutions. ATI launched what is the world's first 40nm GPUs: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4860 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830. Both GPUs support DirectX 10.1 games and HD content as well as being energy efficient for increased battery life. The HD 4860 mobile GPU supports GDDR5 RAM with almost twice the performance of GDDR3 RAM. AMD says that by utilizing the 40nm technology it can build the GPU in a smaller ASIC die size, which in turn allows the discrete GPU to be used in smaller notebooks. NVIDIA also announced a set of new mobile GPUs: the GTX 280M, GTX 260M, GTS 160M and GTS 150M GPUs. NVIDIA claims that the GTX 280M is the world's fastest mobile GPU and offers 50% more performance than the previous generation of mobile enthusiast level GPUs. One important thing to mention; the mobile GTX series does not use the same chip as its desktop counterpart but instead uses the G92 chip used in the 9800 GTX+ desktop cards.

But most of the defenders of slavery and most of the advocates of abolition during the 18th and 19th centuries were equally Christians, and both sides drew most of their arguments from divine authority and scriptural quotation; virtually all known unbelievers were abolitionists, but their arguments carried little weight.The issue of abortion is quite different.

What is the Cultural & Learning Hub
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council (TWBC) and Kent County Council (KCC) are working together to create a new Cultural & Learning Hub for Tunbridge Wells. This exciting redevelopment brings together in one conserved and modernised set of buildings the Museum, Art Gallery, Library, Adult Education, Visitor Information and Gateway services. Our aim is to create a space to engage with the heritage of Tunbridge Wells, learn new skills, socialise and be inspired. This project has received fist stage passes from both Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England.
Why Tunbridge Wells?
Tunbridge Wells has a surprising story to tell. Set in the beautiful landscape of the High Weald, the town's special character has inspired artists and innovators, naturalists and political radicals for over 400 years. The project sets out to challenge preconceptions about the town and the people who live here, and tell a much more interesting and unexpected story of change and transformation.
Tunbridge Wells is an ever popular place to live, work and visit. Our project focuses on the celebration of its heritage and the telling of our stories for generations to come.

This is a lucid and powerful argument in defense of humane laws regarding gay and lesbian people. Nussbaum begins by opposing what she calls "the politics of disgust," on which she blames most of the historical and remaining discriminatory laws, and then moves on to outline an alternative "politics of humanity" (based on respect, imagination, sympathy, and love) and the kind of laws that such politics would support. The book is easy to read and will be of interest to anyone who cares about law, politics, philosophy, psychology, or social justice.
As well as a preface and a conclusion there are six main chapters. The first examines the rhetoric, theory, and history of disgust toward homosexuality and toward gay and lesbian people themselves. The second describes a contrasting politics of humanity. Chapter Three looks in detail at laws against sodomy, both in the United States and in other countries. Chapter Four is about the U.S. Supreme Court case of Romer v. Evans, which declared Colorado's anti-gay Amendment 2 unconstitutional. The last two chapters look in turn at the ethics and legality of same-sex marriage and sex in public places, such as bath houses. Throughout, Nussbaum's argument is respectful toward her opponents but always ultimately in sympathy with the rights of gay and lesbian people.
It is hard to imagine an argument that would overpower what Nussbaum has set out here, but there are a couple of points on which she might be questioned. Nussbaum presents the politics of disgust as bigotry based on unhappiness with our physicality, and this bigotry, she says, is defended intellectually by such people as Leon Kass and Patrick Devlin. In other words, she treats three things (bigotry, feelings about the human body, the philosophies of Kass and Devlin) as being closely connected without this being clearly the case. Undoubtedly there is bigotry and this is one of the main reasons why people oppose "special" (i.e. equal) rights for gay and lesbian people. But is it really so clear that this prejudice comes from discomfort at our own embodied human nature? Nussbaum makes a plausible case that it is, but it is no more than plausible. She suggests, for instance, that some heterosexual men dislike the idea of sharing a shower with gay men because: "The gaze of a homosexual male is seen as contaminating because it says, "You can be penetrated." And this means that you can be made of feces and semen and blood, not clean plastic flesh." [p. 19] This might be true, but surely few people would accept that this is why many women would object to sharing a shower with heterosexual men. It seems equally plausible that many people are simply uncomfortable with being the possible object of sexual desire, especially when the desiring gaze belongs to someone they do not themselves desire. Need this discomfort be a desire to deny one's own carnality?
Nussbaum contrasts Devlin's "politics of disgust" with J.S. Mill's harm-based liberalism. Mill famously insists that only acts that harm others may be restricted by the law, while Devlin argues that it is legitimate to restrict liberty more than this. One example that Devlin uses is drunkenness, and we might update this example by thinking about drug abuse. Each drinker or drug-user might harm only him- or herself, Devlin thinks, but if the nation is so weakened by widespread intoxication that it cannot defend itself against Nazi aggression then something must be done. He also thinks that allowing gay sex is like allowing drink or drug use in this way. On that point his position is ludicrous, but the more general idea that Mill's harm-principle is too liberal is much more plausible.
Another problem with the harm-principle is its ability to deal with insults. It is clearly wrong to abuse people verbally because of their race, say, or sexual orientation. Whether it should be illegal to do so is much less clear, but if I oppose public displays of swastikas on the grounds that they show disgusting insensitivity to the value of (especially Jewish and other ethnic minority) human life then I am being rather Devlinian and yet humane at the same time. This suggests that Nussbaum's apparent identification of the politics of humanity with Millian liberalism is imperfect. Disgust might be illiberal (it is not an Enlightenment value, after all) but it is not always bigoted, conservative, or inhumane. This might not matter much, but it leaves a hole in Nussbaum's argument in favor of giving same-sex unions the same status as other-sex unions.
At least some opponents of same-sex marriage claim to do so on the grounds that there is no sexual act that same-sex couples can engage in that is the kind of act that produces children. This, and not the mere fact that no children will in fact be produced, they say, is what makes same-sex marriages a demeaning parody of traditional marriage. This is, supposedly, what is insulting about it. However little one might share this sense of outrage, it is what some people claim to feel. Incredulity seems a reasonable response, but a refusal to believe them combined with an insistence that they can only be motivated by merely visceral disgust seems a bit much.
Deep feelings that are enshrined in such documents as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the United States Constitution are not only deeply but also almost universally felt. Opposition to gay sex and same-sex marriage is not like this. It is far from universal and seems to be evaporating from our society too quickly for it to run very deep. Its confinement to certain groups or sub-cultures makes it more like a religious belief than an insight into the universal moral law. And religious beliefs that do not rise to this level of moral insight have no place in the law of the United States. Nussbaum's conclusion, therefore, as well as most of her argument in its defense, is perfectly correct.
