Teach for America and civic engagement
It's an intriguing idea, but there's now some new evidence that the latter is not necessarily true. According to a new study from Stanford sociologist Doug McAdam (written about here), rates of voting, charitable giving and civic engagement are lower among Teach for America grads (who completed their two years) than among those who were selected to the program but declined the offer.
While there's some controversy about these findings (founder Wendy Kopp disputes them) it does raise the question of why this would be the case. I think the answer has to do with how much we, as a society, like neat narratives. We like stories that make sense. What could make more sense than people having a life-changing experience doing something like the Peace Corps, or Freedom Summer (when college students helped register black Mississippi residents to vote back in the Civil Rights era), AmeriCorps or now Teach for America? Thess life-changing experiences, according to the story line, would then inspire people to a life of service.
But real life seldom fits into neat narratives. As McAdam points out, the Freedom Summer folks (who did stick around in progressive activism) were undertaking something pretty risky and counter-cultural. When 13% of Harvard's graduating class applies for Teach for America, though, it's hard to think of it as a counter-cultural thing that would truly inspire you to do difficult and potentially unpopular things for the rest of your life.
It's also possible that serving in an inner-city school for two years can make people feel like they're "done" -- they've done their work for humanity, and now they don't need to volunteer or give money. Or perhaps people get so burned out doing this difficult work that they no longer care about public policy (why vote for politicians who will just grandstand about education anyway?)
These are tough questions, and I don't know the answer. In general, I think it's not a bad thing to have young, smart people try teaching. One of the few metrics that actually matter in teacher quality is the teachers' own scores on standardized tests. Clearly, the Ivy League grads who fill Teach for America's ranks do well on that metric. So maybe this study was going after the wrong thing. After all, if more than 60% of Teach for America grads are still involved in education, then it's certainly a success on that front.

"When 13% of Harvard's graduating class applies for Teach for America ..."
Can't help wondering how many people go into stuff like this in order to get some help with their college debt (which is fine as a secondary motive, but if it's anywhere near primary, not so great).

I (who love teaching about the Transcendentalists and Beats as much as anything else in American literature) am thrilled when "counter-culture" becomes culture for the right reasons, as long as it's not just bandwagon-jumping or marketing. Maybe these kids are realizing that teaching is an ideal career for people who love to think and engage in discourse.
Rosin says, "Maybe these kids are realizing that teaching is an ideal career for people who like to think and engage in discourse." One would hope so, but my brief experience in teaching without the usual pre-professional training (in particular, without student teaching) was an absolute disaster. I was too busy trying to keep order, follow a schedule, and get work graded to be able to engage my students in much thinking.
I don't know what kind of preparation the Teach for America kids get, but I hope it is heavy on organization and behavioral management. If I'd had those skills, I would have had a lot more opportunity for thinking and helping my students think.

Bollywood's Bhai yet the most eligible bachelor, Salman Khan turned 50 on 27th December that is yesterday and his 50th Birthday celebrations were Grand beyond imagination. The big bash was held at Salman's Panvel Farmhouse and it wasn't a party to be missed.
The party was an unforgettable affair, from the extravagantly splendid decorations to Bhai's performance on his songs. The entrance to the event was nothing less than a movie set and apparently whole of the farmhouse was lit up for the grand event.
While no party goes without exotic food, Salman's Birthday too had in store dishes named creatively after Salman's movies and characters to pay homage to the actor and his work. The best ones included- Dabbang Aloo, Prem Prawns, Bhai Ke Chhole, and Wanted Laal Maas. Quirky ain't it?
Salamn too had a blast at his Birthday shaking his leg to tracks such as 'O o jaane jana', 'Jumme ki raat' and 'Tan tana tan tan tan tara'. The Bajrangi bhaijaan's cute little acting sensation Harshali Malhotra was also seen dancing with Salman.
The stars present for Bollywood's most extravagant party besides family, included Tennis star Sania Mirza alongwith Tabuu and Farah Khan. At the Bash were also present Karisma Kapoor who is Bffs with Malaika Arora Khan and her sister Amrita Arora.
While all the guests were having a gala time, just as the clock struck 12 Bhai was clicked with a knife in hand, ready to cut the enormously beautiful cake which showcased every little thing that defines Salman Khan as a person.
A portion with a collage of Salman's pictues, another portion decorated with "Being Salman" engraved in Gold and yet another portion with Salman's beloved Dogs who as we all know are much adored by the actor.
One with an eye for detail could even spot Salman's current lady love Lulia Vantur having his back standing close behind. Now that's a detail to look for!

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we hear about a new Michigan nonprofit called Michigan Land Air Water Defense. The organization has mounted an effort in opposition to the sale of mineral rights on state lands for oil and gas production using a controversial method of horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking."
Steve Losher, president of Michigan Land Air Water Defense, talks about why fracking is considered a danger, and about the lawsuit the organization has filed to nullify the state's Department of Natural Resources' auctions of the mineral rights.
Also in studio is Tammy Hall, organizer of a concert fundraiser called Women For Water – An Anti-fracking Benefit, to be held at Wealthy Theatre tomorrow, Nov. 3. Sarah Barker, one of the performers for the Women For Water event, also joins us.
Music featured on this edition of Catalyst Radio is from regional artist Jen Sygit, from her release So Long Pollyanna providing the song "One Thing." Jen Sygit is one of the performers for the Women For Water fundraising concert at Wealthy Theatre.

August 15, 2011
(Ed. Note: Our series "Puck Daddy's Guilty Pleasures" features puckheads from all walks of life answering questions about their own hockey-related guilty pleasures. It will run daily during the month of August. Have a suggestion for a "Guilty Pleasures" guest blogger? Hit us on email. Enjoy!)
Today's Special Guest: Columnist Adam Proteau of The Hockey News, author of the upcoming book "Fighting The Good Fight: Why On-Ice Violence is Killing Hockey." (Wiley, Dec. 2011)
1. The Player You Most Love To Hate
My all-time favorite in this category is Ken Linseman, the original rat bastard of my childhood. And I think Steve Ott(notes) is cut from a similar cloth, so I'll go with him. Anybody who can motivate Dany Heatley(notes) to play with emotion can't be all bad.
2. Other Than Your Own, The Team You Can't Help Rooting For
Being a Toronto kid, I have a soft spot for teams that end decades-long Stanley Cup droughts, so I was happy for Hawks and Bruins fans that their suffering ended recently.
Other than seeing poor Leafs fans experience the same joy, I'd love to see a championship for the Buffalo Sabres; god knows the good folks of Western N.Y. have been burdened with the ass-end of pro sports karma for decades. They deserve a little payback.
3. Favorite Fight or Brawl of All-Time
Is this a trick question intended to out me as a fighting fan? My peacenik reputation precedes me, but I did grow up in the same era as my friend and bloodthirsty hound Jeff Marek, so I understand how appealing a genuine, spirited punch-up can be. If I had to choose, I think I'd pick a relatively unknown fight between Gord Lane and Garth Butcher.
Lane was a fearsome dude when I was a kid — not an obvious talent, but someone you knew other players hated to play against — and when he joined the rising power that was the dynasty-era Isles, he was that much more hate-worthy.
What I loved about this fight in particular was Lane's ultra-cocky move of sticking his chin out not once, but twice, with his arms at his side, to offer Butcher a free punch. And then Butcher following up a few seconds later with a couple quick shots that knocked Lane to his knees.
It wasn't a world-class fight, but it sure was nice watching Lane get his.
4. The Hideous-Looking Hockey Jersey You Secretly Love The Most
Try as I might, I can't let go of my affection for the L.A, Kings' purple-and-gold jersey from the 1980s. Loved the Triple Crown line back then, and now that I'm older, I love even more that they look like they're playing for Crown Royal whiskey.
5. Your Favorite Hockey Cliché (terminology, traditions, announcer-speak, etc.)
Don't know if this counts, but I will always and forever love Paul Newman's "We're working on it" line from Slap Shot. My favorite way for a player to tell a reporter, "beat it" when they ask questions about tactics that we know they'll never give away. We media slugs deserve to be told that sometimes.
6. The Injury You Couldn't Stop Staring At (Non-Skate Lacerations Only)
Can we call Tim Hunter's nose a living, breathing injury? I hope so, because I have never seen anything like it. There are so many crevices and unexpected turns on that thing, I'm surprised James Franco didn't get his arm stuck in there and have to saw/gnaw it off.
7. Your Favorite Cheesy Hockey Reference in Popular Culture
Lately, it's been the entire movie Score: A Musical, (a) because it was filmed at Weston Arena, one of Toronto's best old hockey barns and the place in which I grew up playing; and (b) because the film is truly an abomination.
I mean, I'm old enough to have had the hots for both Olivia Newton-John and Nelly Furtado, and yet not even the presence of both women in this movie is enough to make it anything less than the most blatant (and perhaps only) attempt to cross-market hockey with "Glee." Wonderfully shameful.
8. Finally, What's The Thing You Secretly Respect Gary Bettman For The Most?
Taking the high road when people call him anti-Canadian.
The strain of myopic Canadian nationalism running through the NHL does not behoove the league or the game, and it takes away from the real reasons the commissioner deserves to be criticized. Bettman is many things, but he most certainly does not go to sleep at night thinking of how to screw Canada, and I wouldn't blame him at all for being nastier with people who lobby that particular accusation.
Oh, and I also like him a bit for being nice enough to come up to me when I was in Columbus dressed in Civil War Gear. (Don't ask.) I think I'd already called for him to be fired about three or four times by that point, but he still went out of his way to say a few kind words.
That counts for something, I think.

Mayhem # 621904
About Me
Thank you for viewing my profile.
I will accept TFP/TFCD shoots in order to build my portfolio and more. I would also be interested in convention work, presenting and anything that would put me in front of a crowd.
I workout all the time and the workouts have been getting a lot harder lately. I eat a very lean and healthy diet normally and have been dipping down into the low calorie low carb restrictions to get cut up. I am excited to become a productive member of Model Mayhem. If you book a shoot with me, you can count on me to be reliable and on time.
And whats my story...? Has it begun yet or will it start with a you? Ever wonder where your story will begin? Whats the big opening scene, the climax and the grand finale… Would it be a comedy, romance, adventure, or horror? I wonder how my character will be written. Is he swave', debonair? Is he popular with the ladies and good with a gun?
If someone where to write a movie about your life where would it begin? What's the opening scene? Is it you as you are now, sometime in the past or something yet to come? I think about my own story, the cast and crew and I wonder how I can push play on my life. I think it's going to be a movie that people would watch.
Thanks for reading,

This weekend in the Ryder Cup don't expect many — if anyone — to gamble on No. 10. European team captain Sam Torrance has told U.S. captain Curtis Strange that the hole will play to 311 yards, making it a bit out of reach for most of the players. In other Ryder Cups here and in European Tour events on the course it plays to 287 yards.
"That's Sam's call," says Strange. "To be honest it doesn't make a whole lot of difference because everybody could go for it before. No one can go for it now."
Torrance made his decision based on a European Tour event on the course when the golfers were reaching the green with 3-irons.
"In the old days it was a good hard 3-wood or an easy driver," said Torrance. "Technology has taken over. The hole you have this week will be equivalent to the hole you had in '85 and onwards."
Strange would not say the change would hurt the U.S. team, which features long hitters like Tiger Woods and Davis Love III. But the decision has left many of the U.S. players disappointed.
"Quite frankly, it's a mistake," said Paul Azinger. "That hole has a lot of history. I would say 80% of the players could go for that green. Now, maybe it's only 20%. I can't possibly get there. So, it has been turned into a 7-iron, wedge for me."
Seve Ballesteros was the first player to drive the green in competition, doing it in a European Tour event. In 1985, during the Ryder Cup, Lanny Wadkins and Ray Floyd were teammates in three matches and laid up on the hole in each match. The strategy worked. They made birdie each time after having a short wedge shot to the green.
In '89 in a singles match with Nick Faldo, Wadkins drove the green and made a 6-foot putt that later helped him win the match 1-up.
In practice on Tuesday, Woods reached the green with a 3-wood.
"I can hit a 3-wood and get there every day," said Woods. "To do that I have to come through the trees because they've moved the tee box to the right 10 or 15 yards. With the tee on the left you could carve a shot around the trees, but now to hit a good shot you have to come through the trees. And anything can happen when you have to do that."
Woods then used the same phrase so many other golfers have used about the hole, saying, "It was the perfect match-play hole. You could make 2 or you could make 6.That's what made it so much fun to play. That won't be the case this year."

Re: [beemonitoring] Early spring bumble bee emergence
- I'm guessing that the queens start out with a reservoir of fat (or
similar resources) from last summer, which will keep them going for a
while when they are nest searching and looking for the first flowers.
I don't think they usually nest where they overwintered, but don't
know whether they tend to spend the night in any particular place
during the interval between emerging after the winter and
establishing a nest.

Thanks for the thoughts on the early spring emergence. We have ~ 90% coniferous forest, no maples (except some planted as ornamentals) nor other early blooming trees. Blueberries are a major understory species and will bloom in a few weeks. They are a primary bee food source. Cottonwood flowers here a few weeks later. As we received about 2" new snow last night I do not expect we will see the bumble bees back out for awhile.

a blog from seedling
I've absolutely loved art my whole life, or at least as far back as I can remember. I am not an artist in a professional sense. But it's a big part of what makes me happy. Whether it's going to a museum, painting a Rothko-inspired piece in my uncle's living room, creating watercolors, or simply doodling, I am a big fan of spending my free time this way.
So, it's no surprise that I relished every minute of my son's preschool studio session. Before heading home one day, he had to show me something. He led me by the hand to a pint-sized table where he pulled out a chair and said "Mommy, sit!" I happily obliged and eagerly awaited what was in store.
He surprised me with a tray of pastels and small sheets of paper. He covered those papers with big circles, small circles, curlicues, and squiggles. And he did it over and over and over again. He didn't want to leave because he was really enjoying this artistic moment.
I caught sight of his teacher and asked if he normally selects art as his self-directed activity for the day. She told me, "No. He usually likes to clean, especially with the broom." I nodded my head in recognition because this is what he loves to do at home. We head out to the garage for painting, but his interest wanes rather quickly and before I know it he's sweeping the concrete and watering our lawn. (I very much appreciate his sense of responsibility and help, by the way. As a busy parent, I'll take any help around the house I can get!).
Thinking back, I know my love of art certainly stems from my parents. They're artists, which made it easier to communicate about art movements, techniques, color relations, and object dimensions. But even if they didn't have this academic background, I think the most important thing they did was open the door and expose me to art (even if that meant I had to give up a day at the roller rink against my better 10-year-old judgment in exchange for an afternoon at a gallery).
Now, I know art in its many forms can be intimidating. And you might wonder how you can inspire your children's interest in art if you don't have an MFA like my parents. Despite growing up in a household of artists, I've also wondered the same thing.
How do I encourage art exploration, especially when my son didn't previously demonstrate an innate interest in the activity or at least not with the level of joy he recently showed me at preschool?
The good news is that we don't have to be experts in cubism, sculpture, or photography to make art accessible to our children. In fact, we should take solace in KinderArt creator Andrea Mulder-Slater's words:
Start by remembering that teaching children about art is not just about showing them how to recognize a van Gogh or Picasso, it's about preparing young minds for a future of invaluable experiences—art related or otherwise.
With that in mind, here is my non-expert advice for encouraging art exploration with your children:

[blockquote author=""]Karinkunnam Sixes Detailed Review And Rating[/blockquote]
Karinkunnam Sixes unfolds through Eby(Anoop Menon) and Vandana(Manju Warrier), a couple of passionate volleyball lovers, theilr dream team playing under the name ' Karinkunnam Sixes ' and their travails to field their team in the Kerala Volleyball League, the commercialised version of the game. Challenges are aplenty and several stumbles later, Vandana is left alone to evolve their dream team, strangely, from a group of incoherent prisoners.
Can 'Karinkunnam Sixes' be moulded into a winning unit?
My friend, Vishnu Vijayakumar, assistant director in 'K6' had earlier assured me that irrespective of the eventual outcome, he was pretty confident, 'K6' will be at the very least, a thrilling fare, start to end. And that it surely did enough to worth a watch, and lot more than my expectations, I should underline.
Deepu Karunakaran succeeds in setting a pace for the script that fits the adrenaline rush and intensity that defines a game of volleyball. The script by Deepu Karunakaran aptly captures the energy and passion that makes the game, explores the highs and lows, twists and turns, good and ugly sides of the game and throws them around intelligently, in a manner that throughout the around two and half hour long duration, there is never a dull moment you are disengaged.
Rahul Raj's background complements the adrenaline pumping mood of K6. I am told the climactic stages of the movie, the volleyball game was shot like a live match and that's exactly how it reflected on screen.
K6 has a long cast – Anoop Menon, Manju Warrier, Babu Antony, Baiju, Sudheer Karamana, Nandhu and Jacob Gregory and a couple of 'surprise appearances', but its Suraj Venjaramoodu who has chosen to 'surprise' us again after 'Action Hero Biju' with another short and impactful performance.
Karinkunnam Sixes is a gripping sports drama, and should exceed expectations of all audience, youth and family audience alike. It is sure to be a treat especially for the sports lovers among you, who can appreciate the thrills and emotions of sports, as there are such 'moments' in plenty.

I am trying to get the network scan to pick up a Windows 7 machine, but have been unsuccessful so far. I have the firewall completely disabled, but it is still not picked up during a scan. Everything I can find online talks about the firewall, but are there any other possible solutions?

May 25, 2011 at 10:44 UTC
We've seen DNS cause problems connecting. Go into the DNS manager and look to see if that ip address has a host record for another computer name.
May 25, 2011 at 11:08 UTC
Does your antivirus have a bundled firewall? I have seen issues arise where they block traffic as well.
May 25, 2011 at 11:25 UTC
I am still getting used to Spiceworks so I hadn't added a specific scan entry yet, but this worked to pick up the basics on this PC. We have a number Windows 7 machines which aren't geting picked up, so I will try some of the other suggestions as well so in the future hopefully we won't have to enter all the individual IP addresses. For now though this definitely helps out situation. Thanks!
May 25, 2011 at 11:27 UTC
Robert, this should be a temporary solution. I would recommend once you get your network scan groups setup, disable this specifc one (unless you actually need it) and see if spiceworks is still seeing and updating this computer.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

By Howard Fendrich, The Associated Press
The U.S. Open hired a security firm run by a former New York City police commissioner, set up a whistle-blower hotline and is taking other steps to make sure it doesn't wind up with a gambling scandal.
In the wake of a recent betting investigation in tennis and a former NBA referee's admission he gambled on games he officiated, the U.S. Tennis Association decided "to see if there's something more that we can do," USTA senior director of communications Chris Widmaier said Thursday.
"We're taking this very seriously," Widmaier said by telephone from New York. "Do we think there's a problem? Actually, we don't. But we want to make sure we're as equipped and have as much knowledge of this issue as we can. At the end of the day, this goes to the integrity of the game."
The U.S. Open, the year's last Grand Slam tournament, begins Monday. Security firm SafirRosetti — which has worked with horse racing's New York Racing Association, as well as various professional sports leagues and clubs — will have an investigative team on site during the two-week tournament.
"We specialize in monitoring and integrity ... to make sure there's no illegal activity involved, to make sure there's no organized crime presence and, in this case, to make sure there's no wagering" by players or others involved in the Open, SafirRosetti chairman and CEO Howard Safir said in a telephone interview.
Safir was New York's police commissioner from 1996-00, appointed by Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
"Everybody is, of course, aware of the recent referee scandal in the NBA," Safir said, "and that makes everybody supersensitive."
Former NBA ref Tim Donaghy faces up to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty this month to two felony charges.
The men's tennis tour, meanwhile, is looking into suspicious betting on a match involving Nikolay Davydenko, a U.S. Open semifinalist last year and seeded fourth this year. A British online gambling company voided all bets on a match in Poland between Davydenko and No. 87-ranked Martin Vassallo Arguello after receiving about $7 million in wagers, 10 times the usual amount.
"Players are concerned about it, because they certainly don't want it to happen," U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe said. "They would like it to be fully investigated and get to the bottom of it and make sure it doesn't happen again."
The Davydenko-Arguello match also led the four Grand Slam tournaments to confer with the International Tennis Federation and the men's and women's pro tours about establishing a unified anti-gambling program.
The USTA's recent moves were "prompted by both — Donaghy and Davydenko," Widmaier said.
That includes the hotline for players or others to anonymously provide tips about possible gambling policy violations. Anti-gambling policies and penalties will be addressed in e-mail messages and meetings for players and officials.
Also, signs describing the Open's gambling policy have been posted in locker rooms, player lounges, training rooms and elsewhere around the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Under the heading, "REMINDER," the signs read: "The participation in or aiding and abetting, directly or indirectly, of any form of gambling or betting involving tennis is strictly prohibited. The USTA has a zero tolerance policy on gambling or betting involving tennis, and any violation of such policy will result in immediate disciplinary action."

Book Review: Darklight by Lesley Livingston
Kelley Winslow has a far from normal life. Recently, she found out that she was a Faerie Princess as well as falling in love with a changeling, Sonny, and managed to save New York, as well as the rest of the mortal world. All she wanted was to make it as an actress!
Now that Sonny has been banished back to the Otherworld, Kelley has way too much time on her hands. The hunters responsible for the previous attack need eliminating and that lays in Sonny's hands but the task may be more than he is capable of. He also has to kill Queen Mabh. A series of strange events lead Kelley into the Otherworld and back into Sonny's arms but there is no time for happy reunions. An enemy like no other is after Kelley and could cause a whole lot of trouble and destruction for everyone.
What I thought
Wondrous Strange was one of the first YA series that I started and absolutely loved. Having only just gotten round to reading the second instalment, I have no idea why it took me so long. I was quickly reminded why I was hooked. I wish I hadn't wait so long now!
Darklight's plot is quite complex. This is not a book that you will be able to get though unless you have read Wondrous Strange. There is so much going on all of the time and I think it would be quite impossible to follow. That being said though, I loved how many twists and turns were thrown in. It kept the story extremely interesting and I felt like I could never figure out what was going to happen next. The whole book is a mystery to begin with and I loved how everything unfolded bit by bit. The book is very fast paced and there are few times where the story slows down at any point.
Kelley is still the same amazing girl that I grew to love in the first book. What I love the most about her is the fact that she is quite unlike any other heroine. Yes, she is feisty and kick ass like I would want her to be but there is a totally different side to her. As she is an actress, you can never really be too sure about what is really going on with her and I really enjoyed this. I like not knowing what is going on at every single second and how Kelley always keeps that bit of mystery about her. The chemistry between her and Sonny was as fabulous as ever, even if they weren't around together too much. I would have liked to see them together more though and for their relationship to progress more than it did.
While there were quite a few new characters introduced in this book, there was one I favoured over all the rest. Fennrys could have been a fantastic love rival for Sonny and on some levels, I think I would have favoured him. 'Fenny' has quite a large part in this book but I still wanted more from him. I wanted to know all about him, just like I got to find out about Sonny in Wondrous Strange. The addition of this character certainly spiced things up a little bit although it could have gone a whole lot further if I had my say about it! I hope that he will be a character who sticks around for the next book.
Lesley Livingston certainly has a knack for using a whole range of characters/ creatures without making it seem too much. I read another book recently where a similar thing was done and I HATED it but not this series. The different characters blend so well together and their history and mythology are so well written that it all just fit together perfectly for me. There is a great mix of good and evil characters and some that I never thought I would see in a book in this genre. Depending on where you get your ideas from, leprechauns can either be cute things at the end of a rainbow with a pot of gold or something completely evil (if you have seen the horror films). I really loved how these creatures were used and that they were even used in the first place.
Darklight did leave me with some unanswered questions but knowing that there is a third and final book in this series eased my mind a little bit. I cant wait to get my hands on Tempestuous and to find out where Kelley and Sonny's journey will take them. I do hope they have a happy ending though!
Book Review: Die For Me by Amy Plum
Die For Me brings something new to the YA paranormal genre…Revenants. I had no idea what a revenant would be and part of the fun of this book was discovering just that, so I'm not going to spill any beans there. I loved the idea behind them though and thoroughly enjoyed discovering their secrets.
The book starts off fantastically and is incredibly readable; in fact I read it in just a couple of easy sittings. I liked main character Kate and got behind her right away. She's a loner and struggles to make friends, hiding behind her vivacious sisters limelight. She reminded me a lot of myself. Vincent is an intriguing character too; handsome and mysterious with an air of danger to begin with, he's pretty hot! Die For Me doesn't just centre around him though, there's a whole family of Revenants and I loved hearing the stories and influences behind each of them and seeing the dynamics behind the tightly knit group.
While Die For Me offers an original and different story, it does tread a well worn path at times and has a familiar feel to it (dare I mention the 'T' word?) The setting and the paranormal creatures may be something new, but at times the similarities were almost too glaring. There was one notable absence though…no love triangle..yay! Though there are hints that one character may wish there was, I'm hoping this isn't something that's continued into the next book.
Despite groaning a little bit when things became just a little bit too 'Twilighty' (There, I said it!) I did really enjoy Die For Me. Amy Plum's writing is easy and compelling. There's enough new stuff to keep the reader interested and by dripping information in slowly it has a mysterious quality that will ensure you're glued to the pages. On the romance front it certainly doesn't disappoint, with both the gorgeous setting and doomed love between Kate and Vincent causing me to swoon repeatably. There's also a nice bit of action to keep the book exciting and a very well drawn and believable creepy villain to loathe. If you like Paranormal Romance, then you'll love Die For Me and I recommend it.

Book Review: Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton
Blood Magic, the first book in The Blood Journals series by Tessa Gratton was released on 7th July by Random House and the book is 416 pages long. Thanks to the publisher for providing an ARC for review.
Since the death of her parents, Silla Kennicott sees a lot of blood. She can't stop thinking about what really happened and what the police are saying happened. When a mysterious book arrives in the mail. Silla's whole life is turned upside down. Apparently, there was a lot more to her father than she could have ever imagined. He did magic. Blood Magic!
While trying to figure out who her father really was, Silla meets Nick, the new guy in town. Finding Silla in a cemetery should have totally freaked Nick out, especially when he saw what she was doing but he calmer than anyone else would have been. He already knows about the magic. While Silla and Nick get closer, they realise that someone else in town knows about their secret and the magic and they will do anything it takes to get the book from Silla!
What I thought
Blood Magic was one of my most anticipated books of the year and as soon as I heard about it, I immediately knew I had to read it. Attending a Random House blogger event only made me want this book more after hearing more about it. From the very first page, Tessa Gratton's beautiful writing stands out from anything else I have ever read. Her words drew me straight into the story and I felt immersed the complex and interesting world that she created. Blood Magic is dually narrated between main characters, Silla and Nick.
It isn't very often that I fully love a female main character but Silla was an exception. I felt so much for Silla and the things she had been put through/ experienced and that was before the book actually got into full swing. Silla has had far from an easy life and with the death of her mother and father, nothing seems to be getting better. The whole town where Silla lives has one idea about what happened to her parents but she refuses to believe them, causing some tension and confliction between her and other people. Having to deal with the death of your parents must be bad enough but then having to cope with everything else must have pushed Silla over the edge. I could completely understand why Silla reacted to some things in certain ways and I think I would probably do the same.
I was really happy for Silla once Nick turned up. She was in desperate need of cheering up and I think Nick was the perfect solution to this. They had instant chemistry that was extremely hot but I still wanted so much more from them. Knowing how each was feeling towards the other, I think this part of the story could have been expanded on but knowing that there are going to be further books in the series put my mind at ease a little bit. There was also a fair amount of funny/ cheeky banter between Silla and Nick due to their personalities. This was a really good thing as it lightened up the story and times where it was all getting a little bit too serious.
As soon as Nick arrived in the story, I fell a little bit in love with him. Instantly, I could tell that there was something different about this guy and wanted to find out what he was all about. Nick has a great personality, which only made me like him more. He was cheeky and a little bit full of himself in all of the right places but there was much more to him than what I originally thought. As much as I loved this side of Nick, I also loved the way he was with Silla. Nick was able to show a much deeper side of his personality and I truly believed that he really felt something meaningful for Silla. Nick also has quite a bit of a past even though he doesn't really remember all of it. I loved these parts of the story as it gave Nick's character much more depth than him just being a hot and charismatic teenage guy.
The whole idea of Blood Magic was extremely interesting, if not a little hard to read at times. This is a book that is not for the feint hearted and even though I can take quite a lot, some of the scenes were a little hard for me to get through. That being said, Gratton writes in such a way that doesn't make the blood letting seem sick or wrong at any time. I think it was more the whole idea of blood that grossed me out a little bit rather than the actual Blood Magic. I really enjoyed the parts of the story which were told from the point of view of a diary. These parts really added more depth to the plot and made it all feel more real. The fact that the Blood Magic had a whole background and history made everything about this book more exciting for me. I wanted to know to exact point of origin of the magic, who could do it and why they could do it. The character who wrote the diary also gave the story another dimension and a new and fresh voice compared to the rest of it.

Waiting on Wednesday: Love Story
Hunter has lived on the farm for years. He's Erin's age, he's the stable boy, and he's the romantic dream of every girl in her high school. But he was involved in the family tragedy. Erin has always given him a wide berth. And he's a slick opportunist. She's furious that he fooled her grandmother into giving him Erin's birthright and sending him to Erin's college.
At least she's free of him in her creative writing class. So she pens a story that has haunted her lately, in which the horse farm heiress at the very first Kentucky Derby starts a forbidden affair with the lowly stable boy. Unfortunately for her, the day she's sharing this story with her New York classmates, Hunter walks in. He's switching to her class. And after reading about himself in Erin's story, he writes his own sexy assignments that lure Erin into dangerous fantasies about what could have been between them, and what might be.

After reading my first Jennifer Echols book recently and loving it, after finishing the book I immediately went to see what else of hers I could get. When I came across this, her next release, I got a bit excited. It sounds like something I am going to adore and cannot wait to get my hands on it!
Book Review: The Taker by Alma Katsu
In the small town of St Andrews, Maine, A and E worker Luke thinks his shift will be like any other, with patients like any other night, drunks and misfits. When the police turn up with a strange woman who admits to killing someone, Luke realises that this night is going to be like no other. Lanore is also like no other woman he has ever met, she can do things that should be impossible.
Lanore has a strange past and while attempting to talk Luke into rescuing her from the police, she begins her story of how to came to be in A and E that night but Luke was far from prepared for what he is about to hear…
What I thought
First, let me start off by saying how beautiful the cover for this book is. The black background has red roses which have silver stems running down the sides and top of the front cover, as well as the back. Paired with the black edged pages, this makes for a book that immediately stands out next to anything else. If I had not been sent this for review, I would have been picking it up off the shelves to see what it is all about. Seriously eye catching!
I have to be honest and say that when I started reading this book, I didn't like it at all. I didn't quite understand where the story was heading, having already gotten through well over 100 pages. The narrative switches between the present and Lanore (Lanny) telling her story and how she came to be at the hospital. A large chunk of the book takes place in her home town but I wasn't all that captivated. Yes, I could see that it was about to go somewhere eventually but it took its sweet time doing so. When the story really did get going though and some quite shocking things began to happen, my interest was captured.
Lanny was a quite likable character, even though I never really loved her. As she begins telling her story, we quickly find out that she is in love with a boy named Jonathan. So are the rest of the girls in her village though so she has a lot to compete with. At times, Lanny was a really sweet girl, even though naive at the same time. I loved the setting for the beginning of the story though as it was a time when girls were not how they are now and did exactly what their parents told them to do. A time when it was all about your family name and who you were going to marry and these were big issues for Lanny.
As for Jonathan, I didn't think I had enough of a chance to get to know him. Being the love interest, I wanted to know everything there was to know about him but this wasn't the case. I found his character to be quite mysterious in the sense that not that much is ever really said about him, apart from the fact that he is beautiful in the beginning of the book. I wish he had more of a presence throughout the story instead of being all about Lanny. I would have liked to have seen a bit more from both characters instead. The same goes for Luke, the doctor. He only really seems to appear as the story flits between past and present and I didn't think he was needed in the story. I guess he was only there as a way for Lanny to be able to tell her story.
Even though it might sound like I hated this book, I didn't at all. The story, while having some aspects shouldn't have been, due to the genre, was realistic. The way families are portrayed during the first part was fantastic and I loved getting a look into how people from another time and place lived, survived and evolved. The situations that Lanny got into and how she resolved them were great and I definitely didn't see some of the twists coming, especially the ending. While the story was good, the characters let it down somewhat. I didn't feel as though they packed enough of a punch and I wanted so much more from them.
That being said, I still think that this book will be a massive hit and that so many people are going to fall in love with it. Not for me but it has a lot of potential for other readers.
Blog Tour: Gillian Philip...Part Two of Big Gype +Giveaway!
The beach bar was not exactly a little piece of Caribbean on the Breakness shore. It was windswept – for which read bloody Baltic, some days – but it was out of the way, and it had charm. Jinn said it had charm like me: a bit sleazy, but fun.
I can't say I was entirely unhappy with that.
After that first time, it became our regular rendezvous. Not too regular, mind, because it's not as if I was going out with her. I was just, occasionally, going out with her. It was the next best thing to staying in with her.
Jinn didn't drink much alcohol but she had a passion for those disgusting neon Molotovs, and I must have been keen on her because I kept her company and forced them down too, each one made tolerable by two shots of vodka. I'd sit there on the peeling wooden picnic table – cleaner than the actual benches – and hanker after a beer and Jinn's body. Funny how I didn't ever push it too far. But then I was sleeping with Annette Norton at least two days a week.
Jinn knew.
'Poor Annette,' she said one day, with a wrinkle of her nose.
'It's not like she's my real girlfriend or anything. I'll dump her if you like.'
'I don't like.' An onshore breeze whipped her silver-blonde hair across her eyes, so I couldn't quite see her expression. 'Anyway, you needn't think you're getting in my knickers. Isn't she jealous?'
I shrugged. 'Nothing to be jealous of.'
'Yet,' muttered Jinn.
I didn't think I could have heard her right, and I wasn't sure I liked the way my heart tripped and rebooted inside my ribcage, so I said, 'What?'
She smiled at the dazzling white-capped sea. 'Nothing.'
I liked that even less.
She didn't let me sulk. She nudged my arm and nodded at my barely-touched violent-turquoise drink. 'Don't know why you don't just order a beer.'
She'd made me laugh. 'Neither do I. I'll just go and get one then. Want another?'
Grinning, she shook her head, and her hair glittered in the sunlight. 'I'll just have yours.'
I gave it to her, and went back to the bar. I took no notice of the two thickset guys who sat down at the next ramshackle table; they looked vaguely familiar but not enough for me to care. That was a mistake, but am I meant to be psychic or something? How was I to know?
They were sitting at our table when I came back with my beer, one on either side, Jinn trapped between them on the table top, smiling a nervous smile, knees pressed together and Molotov gripped tightly in two hands. She was laughing at their banter but she was trying not to touch either of them. They weren't so reserved. The one with a silver ear stud put his hand on her ankle and said 'Watch you don't fall, love.'
I stopped and stared. 'Oy,' I said.
He gave me a glance, grinning. 'Who's the wee snot rag?'
The other one yawned. 'Not recognise him? Jimmy Baird's boy.'
'Is that all! And I thought he was Captain America.'
I felt my ears go hot with fury. 'Piss off,' I said.
The one with the ear stud got to his feet, and I kind of wished I hadn't said it, but I was angry enough to be glad I had. Just. Luckily the other guy intervened.
'Ach, leave him, you big gype. We're working, remember?'
'Aye,' said the big gype. 'Right.'I didn't like the look he gave me as they swaggered off. I liked it so little, I sat down much closer to Jinn, and put an arm round her, and hugged her, because the breeze was that cold she was shivering.

The Opposite Of Amber by Gillian Philip 'They found the fifth girl right after the snow melted ...the place where he left her was winter water, crazed with ice-feathers and dusted with snow. The traces from her body were gone, the ones that said his name, but she had an extra skin of ice that protected her and she looked perfect, like Snow White'. Ruby and her older sister Jinn live together on their own, just about making ends meet. Jinn is beautiful, with glittering blonde hair, and makes it her business to look after Ruby. They are horrified by, but try to ignore, the local newspaper stories of prostitutes who are murdered, their bodies eventually discovered underwater. Then the no-good Nathan Baird turns up on the scene - again - and Jinn starts to change. First Nathan moves in with Jinn and Ruby, making Ruby feel an outsider, and then Jinn and Nathan move out, leaving Ruby alone. Jinn no longer has time to look after Ruby. And it seems to Ruby that Jinn herself needs looking after. Her beautiful glittering hair starts to lose its shine. And then Jinn disappears. A deeply moving, chilling, and incredibly powerful thriller that celebrates the love two sisters have for each other and mourns the events beyond their control that will conspire to drive them apart.

Did Obama Win The Anti-Vaccine Crowd In 2012?
Author Alex Berezow's Science Left Behind is a nice measure of the consequences of the rising tide of stupid in this country. In dealing with the very strange, and now perilous to public health, enthusiasm of the anti-vaccination crowd, he writes:
"Pull out a map of the United States and stick in a pin wherever there is a Whole Foods. That community will also likely have a strong anti-vaccine movement."

For men who find it a little difficult for choosing a hair clipper that best suits their style can take help from this guide. The two main categories of clippers are; manual and electric. The manual one as the name suggests needs to be worked manually without the use of power. Electrical clippers have different motors that help run the device.
You may browse our selection of best clipper brands in Nepal available at Kaymu online.
There are three selection of clipper motors from which shoppers can get the one that suits their requirements;
This is the most commonly used motor because it is quite cheap as compared to others. The magnetic motor clippers make the blades run very fast which allows smooth hair cutting. Also since the motor is designed downside, it causes more friction and make the running of the blades rapid.
This makes the clipper run on an average speed but with a much higher force. Pivot motors work well for thick and heavy hair because of the low speed.
This type of motor is the most expensive one and it is heavy duty. There is less noise and the speed of the blade can be adjusted. Rotary motors are generally used by professionals and work well for wet and thick hair.
Buyers can select from wired and coreless clippers and purchase the one that is most convenient for them. The wired ones need to be plugged in a switch and then be used which can cause problems. The cordless ones usually work on battery and are easier to handle. If you require more speed then go for a wired one because electricity makes them powerful. The cordless ones will work well for people who want low speed of clippers.
All the electric clippers have the option of speed control which the user can adjust according to their comfort level. There are different speed options which can be used for the perfect haircut. Grab your favorite clippers online at Kaymu!
