Do you ever feel like your life has gotten to a point where you feel like you are going absolutely nowhere? Does it ever feel like you are simply going through the motions, doing the same repetitive tasks day after day without a clear plan of how to move forward with your life?
These are actually very common feelings, especially among people who are interested in personal development and getting more out of life. When people feel this way it is only natural that they would seek out answers, and many turn to personal growth gurus like Tony Robbins or watch movies like "The Secret" to try to figure how to make the changes that they want in life.
The question is finding the best and most motivating information that is going to be able to snap you out of you funk and put you on the path to all of your dreams coming true. Unfortunately however there are a lot of books and gurus and such to choose from, so it can take a while to go through enough of them to find one that resonates with you enough to really spur you into action and get you moving in the right direction.
I know I've read a lot of books on this subject and it certainly took me a while to find anything that really spoke to me the way I needed to be spoken to!
That being said, one place you may want to start is with a program called Ancient Secrets of Kings. You can read a full review here: nanomagazine.com/ancient-secrets-of-kings-review-do-winters-secrets-work
The thing I like about this course is that it takes you back to the beginning where you can learn the personal development secrets that allowed some of the most powerful men in the history of the world to amass their great fortunes. I suppose the course doesn't take you back quite to the very beginning – but it takes you back a pretty far way!
I think its probably a better idea to learn about this kind of stuff from kings who ruled vast empires and has entire palaces built out of gold than it is to take pointers to from some modern day guy who has a book on Amazon but might not really be all that successful by comparison.
The Ancient Secrets Of Kings program is video course which is perfect if you prefer watching videos over reading books. I like both learning modalities myself, but watching a video is probably the easier of the two since instead of needing to hold a book and turn page you can just kick back and look at a screen. This makes note taking very easy and as an aside I should say that it is definitely a good idea to watch these sorts of video programs through a few times and take copious amounts of notes just to make sure that all the learning really has a chance to sink in.
If you find this interesting you may also want to check out a new program called Thought Elevators. It's a bit more high-tech as it is based on using media (audio and visual files) to affect your brain waves in a positive manner. Apparently, by spending time is a state where your Theta brain waves are dominant you can "sculpt" your mind in a way that opens you up for greater happiness and personal success! There is an article going into depth about this program here: http://nanomagazine.com/thought-elevators-review-is-eric-tallers-brain-elevation-technique-real
Interestedly enough, this Thought Elevators program is also based on ancient knowledge. Asian monks have been developing ways to meditate for centuries and centuries. It's just that, until recently scientists didn't really understand what was happening to the brain during these deep levels of meditation. Now that we know I think it only makes sense to take advantage of this powerful self-development tool.
I hope that you have found this little primer to be helpful and enlightening. Trust me, once you get started with studying personal development – you'll be hooked!

When you hear the term "personal development", what sorts of images come into mind? Do you picture Tony Robbins standing on stage, whipping his crowd of followers into an excited frenzy by talking about awakening "the giant within"? Or do you think of a woman in yoga class, doing the ancient postures and getting in touch with the flow of the universe?
For most people personal development is a very positive force that they have very positive feelings about. However, there are still some out there who see it as woo-woo, feel good, nonsense that distracts us from addressing the sometimes harsh realities of life.
In today's post I wanted to take a look at where this exciting thing we call the personal development movement originated, and how it has grown to be such a big part of our modern culture.
What Exactly Is Personal Development?
Personal development (also sometime referred to a "self-help") is all about improving your life and your experience as a human being on this planet. This can take many different forms for different people.
Some are most interested in activities that will improve there self-awareness and help them to develop an improved sense of identity. Others are more interested in the more material side of things and focus on ways to make more money, manifest wealth, and improve their overall standard of living. And there is also an aspect of personal development that has to do with improving one's health, longevity, and energy levels through diet and exercise.
This is of course a gross over-generalization, but basically that's what it comes down to – becoming the most effective version of oneself in order to experience greater degrees of radiant health, serenity, peace, happiness, security, joy, love, abundance, high self-esteem and so forth.
There are also a wide variety of activities that people engage in on there path towards personal development. These can include reading books, listening to audio tapes and watch video trainings, as discussed in this post on the Ancient Secrets of Kings. There are also all kinds of different classes, seminars and retreats that one can sign up for, ranging from inexpensive yoga or martial arts classes, all the way up to exclusive retreats with personal development gurus which can cost upwards of several thousand dollars.
Many people involved in personal development also opt to work one-on-one with a a teacher or mentor who can advise them on their personal development journey over an extended period of time.
Personal Development's Origins
Many religions and ancient philosophies can be thought of as having a personal development aspect to them. Through prayer and meditation followers can attempt to become closer to the divine creator and experience a greater sense of peace and meaning in their lives. Also, when we look at eastern religion we can see that many practices such as yoga, acupuncture and meditation can help the practitioner to improve energy levels, mental clarity and health.
In the United States, many see the "New Thought" movement as the beginning of what has morphed into the modern personal development movement. The "New Thought" or "Higher Thought" movement was a spiritual movement born in the United States in the 1800's which was based on the teachings of a man named Phineas Quimby.
One key figure in the progression of the personal development movement was a guy named Wallace Wattles who published a book called "The Science of Getting Rich" back in 1910. The idea was that one can mold oneself into an individual worthy tremendous wealth, simply by tweaking your personal habits and daily thoughts.
Wattles' book was followed by Napoleon Hill's "Think And Grow Rich" which was much more widely read (over 20 million copies sold), and is still considered a must read for those interested in using personal development as a vehicle for achieving wealth. The book was based on over 20 years worth of research conducted by Hill. Hill spent time with the richest men in America figuring out how they thought differently than the common man, and how their thinking enabled them to achieve such a high level of financial success.
Another notable figure in the personal development movement was Earl Nightingale. Nightingale was a radio show host, writer speaker and author known as the "Dean of Personal Development." He co-founded The Nightingale-Conant Corporation which published numerous personal development audio recordings on vinyl.
Since Earl Nightingale there have been dozens of other well known personal development gurus who have enjoyed a wide following. Some of the more famous of these men include Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor, and Tony Robbins.
Personal development really exploded onto the mainstream scene in 2006 with the release of the movie The Secret. The film was made up of interviews with many personal development experts who teach all about how attract or "manifest" the things we want in life using the secret "Law Of Attraction"
While the personal development movement/industry continues to evolve the underlying concepts are timeless. In my experience the best thing to do is to read personal development books by a few different authors and try to find a mentor who's message really resonates with you.
As somebody interested in a holistic approach to personal development, I feel it is very important to pay attention to all aspects of one's being, including: the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the spiritual.
So many people get so obsessed with manifesting wealth and improving their standard of living that they totally neglect their physical bodies, which is so ridiculous. After all, if you aren't healthy, you won't have the energy to enjoy your money, or your freedom, or your relationships!
I think that one of the biggest reasons that so many people neglect their physical health is because they are lazy. Yep, I said it! However, once you get started on your personal development path, you should be feeling more and more optimistic, empowered and energetic. And, physical fitness is a great place to direct some of this new found energy. Trust me, the benefits will be well worth it. Plus, as you lose weight and improve your cardiovascular health you will feel even more energized and you can channel that energy back to whatever else you prefer to focus on.
I've found that the trick is to work out regularly, but not to overdo it with long boring workouts or a ton of cardio. In the Old School New Body review video above you can learn about a new system based on old school fitness tricks, which many folks over 35 are using to look and feel young and vital.
The idea is to use compound of "multi-joint" exercises like the squat, deadlift and bench press to burn maximum calories and properly train your muscles without putting undo stress on your joints, central nervous system and other systems of the body. There is of course a lot more to this fitness system, but that is the basic idea. Watch the video above for details.

"All Star" Liz of NJ
Have you ever been awe inspired by the site of very pregnant woman working out? Well this story reflects just that! Liz is a true success story in that she regained a great level of fitness during the third trimester of her pregnancy. Here is Liz's final summary for a contest we had in the Team BuffMother Rally Room starting May 2007~
at 29 weeks At 39 weeks! NOW- 4 months later!
My Reflections on The 10-Week Quest for ConsistencyBy: Liz of NJBuffMother! Since 2005
At the conclusion of this Quest for Consistency Challenge, I am about to deliver a baby any day now and I am in the best shape of my pregnancy! At the beginning of the QFCC I was at the beginning of my third trimester, not weight training or eating particularly well and had just returned to the Rally Room a couple of months earlier from a hiatus due to remodeling my home. Having been uprooted from my usual diligent routine of weight training 4-5 days a week, I had become complacent about exercise and lacked the necessary enthusiasm for this challenge. I had never participated in a challenge in the RR before and was not sure I was prepared at 7 months pregnant to do so, yet I attempted to "psyche myself up for it [QFCC]." Then fellow BuffMother!, Debra Golding, also pregnant and further along then I, posted that she was doing it and that I should too. I thought to myself, "Well if she's doing it… how could I not?" She planted a seed and that was all it took. I decided to join in the QFCC and I am so glad I did because I accomplished more that I thought I would in 10 weeks!
My opening thoughts were (as per my blog):
Day 1: "…I'm scared. Consistency is not a strong point of mine: …any break down in my "scheduling" can frazzle or de-rail me."
Day 2: "I can do this!!! I feel GREAT! I wish I could bottle this [the excitement & energy]! Rather than worry too much about the outcome, I am just enjoying nourishing & energizing my body."
What changed from one day to the next was that I walked into the gym with a plan and a mission. The QFCC was so well planned out with time frames, goals, mini-challenges and PMA (positive mental attitude) that it made it easy to "just do it!" I survived the first day back at the gym. My "test times" were not what they once were but I left the gym feeling GREAT!
And so as the QFCC progressed, I picked up steam. At first I was really tired and napped a lot! But as time went on I started feeling energized from my workouts. By week 4 I was hitting "pregnancy personal bests," some of which exceeded numbers I hit BEFORE I was pregnant. Team BuffMother! encouraged me the entire way and by Week 8 I felt invincible even given "my biggest obstacle to overcome" over the 10 weeks: Almost constant lower back pain. Given this particular obstacle, the mini-challenge that I am most proud of, which I completed 100%, was the "100 lunges each day [for a] week." I believe that was when I really picked up momentum.
Week 8 was a monumental one during the QFCC because at that point I was gaining in strength beyond what I thought was possible and realized my body's capabilities were tremendous. I can only relate it to having attained a "runner's high" because I was going into the gym and stacking on weights with such ease and determination that it was blowing my mind. Then at the beginning of Week 9, I found the balance that ultimately I am always striving for in my life. I was determined to finish out the QFCC while enjoying the last few weeks before I gave birth. I intuitively knew I had achieved a powerful lesson regarding my body, its capabilities and my attitude regarding CONSISTENCY: If I could be consistent, realizing that in doing so that my goals are attainable with such a natural flow that do it any other way was an injustice to myself, I could accomplish anything! And that my body is a powerful tool designed by nature to function optimally when nourished and strengthened properly and its driving force is determination and positive mental attitude!!!
Again, what changed my initial attitude regarding this challenge was a BuffMother!, who simply planted the seed of PMA that the QFCC could be done even in our third trimesters. If one simple statement could have such an impact on me that it changed the course of my pregnancy in such a POSITIVE direction, imagine the possibilities of encouraging other women. It is that simple! Michelle Berger has always said, "The Key to your Motivation is to Encourage Others." Well the dynamic of what occurred in the Rally Room to encourage me to follow through with this challenge clearly proved that point! I sincerely hope that my involvement in the Rally Room has had even a small positive impact on others compared to the tremendous positive impact the women of the RR have had on my life! Thank you for the 10 most energized & empowered weeks of my pregnancy!
Weekly Consistency Report Final Summary
How many weight/strength training workouts did I complete: average 4 per week
How many cardio/interval training sessions did I complete: average 2 per week
How many days of the week in total did I workout: average 4 per week
What obstacle did I overcome in order to get it done? Lower back pain
Who did I encourage? BuffMother friends

Health Risks Too Great for Keralup
Perth's growing population should avoid Keralup due to public health risks and contamination to groundwater, Greens MLC Lynn MacLaren said in Parliament today in a move to stop an urban rezoning proposal.
Greens spokesperson on planning Lynn MacLaren said the Parliament should disallow the metropolitan region scheme amendment that proposes a major clearing at Keralup, a site formerly known as Amarillo between Rockingham and Mandurah, in a loop of the Serpentine River.
"We can't keep bulldozing wetlands and filling them in with houses," Ms MacLaren said.
"We've got to have better planning and permit public scrutiny of changes to the urban environment.
"Planning projections are way out. I have to question how well the Government understands what's at stake. Keralup State 1 is not in line with the Government's own plan – Directions 2031 – on the future face of Perth. The plan for Keralup is not consistent with the plan's principles for a sustainable city.
"I have submitted to the government that the only strategic way to use this land is to preserve its integrity as a conservation area. Any development on this site will significantly affect the wetlands chain running the entire length of the Keralup area and beyond.
"The proposal to develop Keralup is deficient. It's irresponsible to rezone land before the impacts on surface and groundwater are investigated adequately.
"The plan also disregards risks to public health by high concentrations of mosquitos.
"Transport planning decisions need to be made first, such as on the location of a rail station at Karnup.
"There has also been a failure to properly consult with the Keralup Aboriginal Corporation.
"Although the government claims that proper investigations have been carried out, critical reports are not publicly available including the District Water Management Strategy. If there's nothing to hide, surely the government can't be afraid of public scrutiny.
"The EPA identified significant environmental concerns that should constrain what it possible at Keralup, but it certainly doesn't provide advice on how to address them. There is a mismatch between the serious concerns raised in the masterplan and the low level of assessment for rezoning Keralup from rural to urban.
"Indeed, the EPA advised that it all surface and groundwater studies on drainage and nutrient management should be completed before any further planning.
"You can't get clearer than that. The EPA went on to say that the data collection is essential to determine the feasibility of any urban development at Keralup.
"The Peel Preservation Group has detailed major concerns, including that the area is too low-lying to be developed well, the soil is acidic and infertile, and flooding is expected in the area as climate change impacts increase.
"The Department of Health has advised that mosquito management strategies would only be partially effective at best, and has opposed the Keralup amendment because the risk to public health from mosquito-borne diseases would be unacceptably high.
"The increase in Perth's population calls for better use of currently developed land and transport corridors, not flattening nature in places such as Keralup," concluded Ms MacLaren.

Don't touch the hair! Jimmy Fallon went where no TV host has gone before on Thursday, September 15 — the Tonight Show star got his hands on Donald Trump's hair.
The Republican presidential candidate made his third appearance on the NBC talk show since announcing his candidacy in June 2015, and while he didn't do a sketch with Fallon playing the former Apprentice star this time around, Trump did agree to let Fallon mess up his hair.
The real estate mogul's trademark coiffure has been a minor star of the campaign, with Trump even asking a woman to tug as his long locks last year to prove "it's my hair" and not a toupee.
On Thursday, Fallon asked Trump, "Can I mess your hair up? I'll be gentle."
After the GOP nominee reluctantly agreed, the Saturday Night Live alum didn't just tug on that carefully lacquered 'do, he mussed it. And he mussed it good.
The pair also discussed his upcoming debate against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on September 26, and Trump's praise of Russian president Vladimir Putin, with Fallon joking that the pair's bromance needed a nickname. His choice? Vlump.
Trump, who has previously talked about his admiration for the former KGB spy, backpedaled as he spoke to Fallon on Thursday.
"Look, I don't know him, and I know nothing about him, really," Trump said. "I just think if we got along with Russia, that's not a bad thing. The Democrats are trying to say I like him. I don't like him. I don't dislike him. I don't have any feelings one way or the other. And it's not going to matter what he says about me. If he says good things or bad things about me, I'm going to make great deals for our country."

Israel, Gaza and a load of crap. Happy new year.
David Davis
I know! I'm French! F*** les docteurs et les chirugéons! Let me through….I'm an énarque! L'état: c'est moi!
I'll tell the Israelis to send in loads of food and medicine to the enemy!
In return for which Hamas will see if they can stop firing rockets and any other sorts of stuff, against the same said Israelis!
Gordon Bennett…..
Very logical as you can see.
Why ought Gaza to need aid? What is wrong with its government and its polity, that it can't provide for itself? Why has "aid" always to come from whom it says is its sworn enemy? What is Egypt (not) doing, and why not? What is Iran (not) doing and why not?
And where's Saudi Arabia in all this: where's the money gone? Don't come crying to me that some "princess" has auctioned her lingerie for food for Gazans….And don't all you lefties come in here and tell me that Israel won't let the stuff in. Bastards you are, liars and scumsucking turds.
If Israel goes down, it will be a setback for liberalism. You'll all have to work much harder, later, for less certainty. You heard me say this here, read my lips, on the LA blog, on 30th December 2008, at 19.44 GMT. Out.
UPDATE: Counting Cats sums it all up. But nobody will listen.

Nikki shoots film
Why do you shoot film, Nikki?
I started documenting my everyday life in 2001, when i got my first digital camera. I was inspired by a blogger who was described her daily life in Stockholm and posted pictures of that daily life. I had never seen photography like that before. Most of the personal photos I was exposed to were vacation pictures or wedding photos or National Geographic photos. Photos of Something. Not the little, intimate details of one's life, especially not one woman's life from another part of the world. Daily self-portraits, coffee with friends, changes to the living room, a new pair of shoes- all the "small" moments that make up one's life.
My father-in-law loaned me his old Minolta in 2004, complete with a flash, multiple lenses and filters and other gadgets. Once I saw the results from that first roll, I was hooked on film. I started experimenting with different types of film and different cameras. Black and white! Color! 400 speed! 800 speed! 50 speed! Medium format! Polaroid! The possibilities are endless.
Shooting film has made me a better digital photographer, because I think about light and composition more when I shoot film. I make a lot of mistakes, but I learn from those mistakes. And sometimes, the "mistakes" make the best pictures. The texture and tones of film give photos a romantic quality that I love. On film, the subject is transformed from just a snapshot in time to a moment. Shooting film makes me pay more attention to those moments.
You can see more of Nikki's film shots in this set on Flickr.

First Withings showed Pulse in January 2013 at CES, but the device will appear on sale in the summer, and got up and did Russia closer to the end of the year. As a fan and a longtime user of pedometers FitBit, in particular, now I model One, I did not expect any major breakthrough freshman.Thought it was just another pedometer that created the wave of popularity of such devices. My opinion was erroneous, as Withings take into account the experience of predecessors and the same FitBit, managed to create, if not ideal, something close to this unit. In the story about the Pulse I will compare it with the FitBit One, these pedometers functionally very similar, and such a comparison is not unreasonable, especially since I use every day and One can say everything about what I personally it lacks.
Package Includes:
- Pedometer
- USB-cable
- Silicone Case with Clip
- Holder on hand
- Instruction
Let's start with the box – in Withings did not jump over your head and let out a package that is indistinguishable from those offered by most other companies – cardboard, transparent window visible pedometer.
When you first turn must charge a pedometer, and then I got a pleasant surprise: unlike the One, in Pulse usual microUSB-socket. You can use any cable to charge both the network and the computer. No data synchronization through this connector, no, he only charging pedometer. In One unique cable that should definitely not lose, otherwise you'll have to fork over a lump sum. Pulse In this issue resolved once and for all – and the only right decision, a universal connector.
The second point – is the lack of Bluetooth-dongle as in One. In Withings rightly considered that most of the computers, not to mention tablets and smartphones, today has this feature. So why produce unwanted entity?
Firmware update, data synchronization – all done via Bluetooth. Just press a single button on the pedometer and hold for 3 seconds to activate Bluetooth. This may be the pairing mode (the first time), and can be forced synchronization. This user has no synchronization settings (clock frequency), pedometer is doing this operation every 6 hours. Or you can do it yourself.
The first step is to install the program on your Health Mate smartphone or tablet. Mating takes place without any problems, you are offered to have an account in the service, and then you can save all your data in the cloud. When you first connect it checks for updates, and if they are, the device is automatically updated – it takes the strength of a couple of minutes.
If One data synchronization occurs almost instantaneously, here it is not fast – the average is 25-30 seconds if the accumulated data for the week, the synchronization may take up to six minutes. Often this happens in the background and does not irritate.
Pedometer size slightly larger than the FitBit One, but given that you'll be carrying it in the pocket of jeans for lighters and other stuff, it does not matter – there it fits like a glove. On clothing in this clip pedometer also does not cause any discomfort.
Official photos display shows bright, it is the technology OLED, has only one illumination color – blue. Resolution small screen – 128h32 points, it is enough to show all the necessary information.
In the life of the screen dim, as if shining through the film. Gradually get used to this, consider a display brightness can not be a serious drawback – not ideal, certainly, but not a drawback.
With a single button, you can scroll the pedometer readings, they are fixated on a circle. Time, battery level, and the user name.
One look in the battery level is only possible on the smartphone or web interface, then it all clear and have nowhere to climb further. The next screen shows the number of steps, as well as your goal (default is 10 000 steps a day, but it can be changed). Next – calories, there is nothing to comment on. Then, the height to which you went during the day – in stairwells One considered that somewhat more speculative immediately – honest meters. I think that the right to life is both approaches – in One such method of counting trying to encourage more walking on the stairs, that is under a certain logic. Let me remind you that most pedometers do not measure height, and these two – a pleasant exception.
Finally, there is a screen with two characters: heart and moon. In the first case, clicking on the icon (touch screen!), You activate the heart rate measurement, the sensor is located on the back of the pedometer, it is enough to put a finger. This can be regarded as an additional option and little demand, there is no permanent measurements, you get data only when recollect it. Slowness measurement also makes this option is not very interesting. Icon on the moon, you activate sleep mode control, ie can get data about how much sleep. For me, this mode is outdated, so I do not use it.
On all screens where there is data, you can browse and watch their previous measurements (up to 14 days). The screen shows the number of days (minus days from the current one). Everything is clear, and this option is very interesting as it allows at midnight to see how much you've gone for the day – One does not have to always have to look at the smartphone, which is inconvenient.
Technical aspects of the work remains to note – it is stated as two weeks. In my case, pedometer with constant force synchronization worked for about 7-8 days, but in a more quiet mode it obviously live longer – there is a clear gain in One, who lives an average of 5-7 days. And oh, it's no indication on the device itself.
Health Mate program and service network
In fact, Withings completely copied the idea FitBit, but did many things more interesting and richer – you have a network page where logs are maintained your pedometer has a social component, you can compete with different people. For the achievement of certain goals are rewarded with badges.
Go into details not see the point, but note that this service – one of the best on a par with the FitBit. Of the undoubted advantages – there are additional fields, the ability to connect a scale that will automatically transmit data measurements. Cool, and do not require time-consuming.
Android smartphones or iPhone software is identical and works like a clock, and here at FitBit there is some problems, supported by a limited number of Android-devices. The screenshots of the program, it is very convenient representation of the data, many analysts – in a word, it is a product of the latest generation.
The bottom line
Frankly, I had a pet, and it's Pulse. Abandon One will not, too many steps you've walked accumulated too many friends uses this pedometer, and we compete with them. But deliberate on how to wear the pedometer even two, although I understand that it is stupid. But nothing I can do, Pulse love.
In the U.S., the cost of Pulse – $ 100, that is similar to the FitBit One, prices in Russia from 4500 to 9900 (!) Rubles. In my view, it makes sense to order a pedometer in the U.S., where he stands adequately. No serious disadvantages of the model no, it's one of the best decisions of those that are present in the market. We heartily recommend it to everyone, especially those who did not get hooked on One from FitBit.

The Larimer Arts Center
The Legacy of Henry John Klutho
On March 12, 2008, the Larimer was added to the National Registry of Historic Places-the Nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. Located in the heart of Palatka on Reid and Third Streets, the building began its existence in 1929 as the Larimer Memorial Library.
James R. Mellon, member of the prominent industrial family, wintered in Palatka's South Historic District. As an act of philanthropic largess, he commissioned Henry J. Klutho of Jacksonville to design a library. Donated to the city in 1930, the structure was named for his wife, Rachel Hughey Larimer.
Thousands attended the opening of one of the most modern libraries in the South. Housing over 50,000 volumes, the building functioned in that capacity for 62 years. In 1992, with Mellon's permission, the library became the Larimer Arts Center and the home of the Arts Council of Greater Palatka.
In August 2006, Robert Broward, AIA Jacksonville, presented a program at the Larimer on the Legacy of Henry John Klutho. Broward, noted authority and friend of the architect, has said: "His buildings are the best examples of Prairie School left in the country." Broward called the Larimer Klutho's "little jewel."
Largely developed in Chicago, the Prairie Style was an important modernist movement, which flourished from 1900-1920. The most notable examples were by Frank Lloyd Wright. In seeking a unity of place and structure, the features radically departed from the ornamented Victorian style.
The Larimer fuses Prairie School with Art Deco Style elements. Klutho believed architecture should harmonize with its environment. He stated, "A project should be so designed as to indicate its function. A church, a school, a hospital, a public building or an office building should each be recognizable as such."
The Larimer is a stately limestone structure with elegant arched windows and entryway. The façade is symmetrical and incised across the top are the phrases "Ignorance Breeds Crime" and "Knowledge is Power." Two decorative lampposts flank the stone steps that lead to the recessed portico.
The interior maintains the original floor plan. Significant features include suspended globe lights, terrazzo floors, a segmented skylight and Art Deco details. The main floor houses exhibition spaces, an administrative office and the Scarlett-Hill Theater. Art classes and workshops are held in the basement.
The Larimer is undergoing important renovations. The City is dedicated to preserving this excellent example of Prairie School architecture by one of Florida's most prominent architects Henry John Klutho. The building, an essential part of Palatka's heritage, stands as a monument to the public trust.
This account owes much to the application for National Register status prepared by Janice Berlepsch, Palatka Parks Department, and Jeff Norton Head.

Google, Yahoo Woo Developers to Online Maps
Both companies on Wednesday released APIs into their respective online mapping services as they attempt to attract other Web sites to use their maps.
While they are focusing on how developers can overlay information on maps, the companies are taking different technical approaches.
Google is targeting developers who want to embed its maps into their sites using JavaScript, while Yahoo is focused on tapping RSS for the creation of custom maps that continue to reside on the Yahoo Maps site.
Competition among online map services has become increasingly intense this year after Google entered the space and as attention has turned to more closely tying maps with local search.

Student Voice Feature
Five Days in Paradise
Like many Northern Virginia Community College students, my journey began out of necessity. Four years ago I arrived at NOVA as it was the only college in the area that—as an F-1 student ineligible for financial aid and most scholarships – I could afford. Little did I know that, one day, this would be my ticket to Chile.
Semester after semester, I built a reputation as a good, hardworking student in the communication design program. Eventually, I ended up being invited by our faculty to participate in this special topics class called Nokia Only Planet 2007 in collaboration with DuocUC, one of the largest design schools in Chile.
The purpose of the class was to come up with a technological product that would be launched in 2010/2012. Nokia gave us some guidelines to abide by, the same that they follow when they come up with a new multimedia product. It was interesting to work exactly like they do at a major telecommunication corporation, but even more amazing was the fact that we—a bunch of graphic/interactive design students—got to try out a variety of new professions in completing our assignment. We became anthropologists to research global societal trends, journalists and photojournalists to observe and report the manifestations of those trends in our local contest, scriptwriters to concoct short user scenarios and experiences, advertisers and copywriters to come up with universal names and taglines for our products and industrial designers to conceive 3D renderings of our products and actually build our own prototypes. An absolute 360° experience that, by itself, made the course worth taking.
But there was one more incentive to take this class. Five students would be selected to travel to Santiago, Chile in November and present their work at Duoc during a trip sponsored by NOVA. Of course, each of the fourteen participating communication design students from the Alexandria and the Loudoun campuses was secretly hoping to end up in the lucky group.
With time, however, some people found out that, because of other obligations, they wouldn't be able to make the trip. And the number of those who could actually travel dropped to nine. Just four more than agreed. It was breaking everybody's hearts to leave just four of us behind. But, at the same time, everybody wanted to go.
Miracles sometimes happen. And our wonderful instructor made one happen to us. I still don't know how she did, which words she used, or what magic she exerted. In the end, we all got to go.
November 5, 2007. Late afternoon. Our wonderful adventure began. From Reagan National to Miami International, from Miami International to Santiago Pudahuel, during our airport transits we bonded with each other and the three instructors who were accompanying us: Lisa Hill, the miracle worker, Rebecca Kamen and Julia Turner. We chatted and laughed and looked at magazine ads with the clinical eye of the graphic designer, while some chewed ginger gum to relieve air-sickness and others had dinner. Some tried to sleep on the plane and a few actually could. Before we knew it, it was the morning of a new day. The arid yet snow-capped mountains surrounding Santiago emerged from the thick Pacific fog below us, and we were landing.
Sometimes it takes a while to actually appreciate a country and all it has to offer. Sometimes first impressions aren't accurate. But my fellow travelers and I only had to look out the windows on the bus that was taking us from the airport to our hotel, and we immediately knew that we had fallen in love with Chile.
Still groggy from the night on the plane, we ventured into the sunny, warm Chilean spring in search of food and drinks on our hotel's block. We found a place with the most delicious gelato ever, and snacks and drinks. Feeling a little better, we got ready for our first visit to Duoc. We immediately loved it. The campus where we would be displaying our multimedia presentations and prototypes was located in Las Condes, in the outskirts of Santiago, on top of a hill overlooking the city, and it was surrounded by trees, rocks and mountains. "Just like our Alexandria campus," we thought. Well, in a sense it was. They had mountains, we had Skyline.
After the visit to Duoc, many of us decided that we weren't too tired from the long overnight flight and resolved to find out what Santiago had to offer in terms of food and nightlife. We were lucky. We didn't have to go too far. Pub Licity was just across the street from our hotel, and it immediately turned into our favorite hangout.
Day Two. Nokia Day. What a day! Between little accidents such as finding some mistakes in the Nokia Only Planet 2007 Catalog and the disappearing of one of our prototypes while moving from the campus TV studios to the presentation room, we had a lot of fun, bonded even more, made some Chilean friends and kept NOVA's reputation high with the good feedback that we received on our projects. At the end of the day, we forgot about the little mishaps. Duoc was an excellent, caring host. They made sure that we got the same exposure as their students did during the Nokia presentation, they escorted us through the various activities of the day, and they offered us a typical Chilean lunch cooked especially for us by their hospitality students. To end a long but successful day, our teachers took us out to dinner that night, and we celebrated with pizza, laughter and even some tears (the day was a long emotional rollercoaster for all of us, teachers included!)
Day Three. We got a day off to explore Santiago at our leisure. Most of us spent the morning on top of Cerro San Cristobal, a hill in the heart of Santiago from which you enjoy the most spectacular panorama of the city. The Ibero-American Summit was going on, with Hugo Chavez and other presidents flying in from all Latin American countries. Because of that, many helicopters were buzzing like huge bugs in the sky, and it was so amazing to notice that, on the top of that hill, we were higher than them! The three guys in our group got to meet the President of Guatemala and had their picture taken with him. With my roomies, I got to explore Bellavista, the Bohemian and cultural neighborhood at the foot of the hill. We had lunch there and went shopping for crafts. At an open-air market, we bumped into the guys and, as dutiful, dedicated art students, we all ended our day together at the Contemporary Art Museum.
Day Four. Field trip to Valparaiso, on the Pacific coast. The most wonderful excursion ever. While Santiago amazes you with its shiny, modern buildings and well-kept streets (for the most part, especially in the neighborhoods we had a chance to visit), when you enter Valparaiso you are confronted with the reality of shantytowns. But all those little houses sprawling on the hills all around the harbor are so colorful that remind you of flowers, and in the end you fall under the decadent spell of this city that still boasts a few wonderful Art Deco buildings which survived a mighty earthquake to remind foreign visitors of its old glory. Characteristic funiculars get you to the top of the hills in a matter of a few seconds. After visiting Pablo Neruda's house with a spectacular view over the harbor and the neighboring town of Viña del Mar and its sandy beaches, we took a funicular too and started the most amazing walking tour among beautiful European houses in Art Nouveau and Art Deco style, steep and narrow streets and stairways, stray dogs, multicolored, wonderful graffiti that would end up convincing even the most tenacious haters that street art is, in fact, a form of art, and the most picturesque views over the colorful hills and the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. You cannot be an artist and not like artsy Valparaiso. All of us left a little piece of our heart there. But, alas, the day was ending and we had to leave, not before paying a quick visit to Viña del Mar, its flower clock and the Moai that came from Easter Island.
Day Five. Our last day in Paradise. And, in Paradise, we actually spent it. Our guide took us to an open-air restaurant in the countryside to the southeast of Santiago, where the Andes and their perennial snows get closer and closer. Deep blue sky, bright green grass and vines, emerald green mountains with white snowy caps, we would have never left that place. But we had to go. We spent our last hours in Chile learning how Chilean wines, ones of the finest in the world, are made at Paseo del Vino, the one and only viña educativa de Chile, where drinking is educational—in fact, just a few days before, Duoc had sent a class of students from their culinary program to get some training there. We didn't get to drink though. Too bad. I wouldn't have minded forgetting that in a little while, we would be at the airport and then on the plane again, headed back to our daily routine and our chilly fall.
Day Six. Welcome back to the United States and terrorism paranoia. Our teachers got searched at the checkpoint in Miami as a tin box of alfajores that one of us was carrying in her bag raised bomb suspicions. But, to tell the truth, I, as the only non-immigrant alien in the group, got to be fingerprinted and "processed" by very nice immigration officers on the US citizens and permanent residents line, thanks to the teachers who would have never allowed for me to get lost in the endless non-US citizens line and miss our flight connection. Still, it was somewhat depressing to be back. But I got a window seat on the plane and enjoyed (and photographed) the coolest aerial views of Miami Beach, the Potomac River and Old Town Alexandria. The United States is nothing like Chile, but it's not that bad, after all.
Today, three months after our amazing adventure, it almost feels like a dream. I would need to look at my pictures time and time again to make sure that it really happened, if it weren't for Devin, Dominika, Georgiy, Gloria, Julia, Kelly, Lisa, Mike B., Mike M., Rebecca and Sonya, my fellow travelers. There's a special bond between us that, no matter what, we are going to share for the rest of our lives. This month, roughly ninety days after our return, we had our first massive reunion on the Loudoun campus, for the Nokia Only Planet exhibit. We should start a tradition, something like college reunions. And hopefully one day we'll meet on the other side of the Equator, and we'll live the adventure all over again.

September 1996 - Issue No. #24 (p.15)
I have been teaching English at universities in China for 16 years and am happy to see many drastic changes taking place in my country. Among these changes is a growing awareness in the English teaching profession that English learning should be seen as a medium for communication, a way of exchanging ideas about what is happening in the world. Therefore, the teacher's job is to "ensure that students effectively acquire a foreign language while empowering them with the knowledge, skill and commitment required by world citizens" (Kip Cates 1994).
As a classroom teacher, I have found English debate is a very efficient way to motivate students in learning and using English, and to help them to be aware of world problems and their social responsibility as conscientious world citizens.
Debate topics we have done with our students can be categorized as follows:
The problems discussed during debates trigger students' awareness of the responsibility shouldered by their generation as a member of a family, a specific community and a citizen of the nation and the world. Apart from learning to master a foreign language, they learn to think seriously about how to deal with today's rough world and what contributions they are obliged to make.
One example is the debate about protecting the global environment. Students came to realize that the environment is not a simple issue which can be easily solved by an individual or the government, but rather needs the commitment of the whole world.
Another daring action taken during debates is to comment on hidden phenomena in the country, such as racial and sexual discrimination. Although these two problems are international and appear much worse in some other parts of the world, people in China sometimes do feel their existence.
The main complaint raised was the unpleasant experience the girl university students had when job hunting. They were frustrated by the fact that priority was very often given to male applicants by potential employers, even though the female applicants were more qualified. The most important thing is to adopt a positive attitude towards these problems, let more people know the seriousness of the situation and urge the authority concerned to do something about it.
Through my experience of organizing debate activity, I feel that it is vital for teachers to provide students not only with opportunities to develop their language competence, but also opportunities to develop their sense of social responsibility.

It's been a long while since I last updated this thing. I see the most recent post is about a game I haven't played in over a year. (It's still a cool game, especially when you're waiting in line.) Since I advertise this site in my Twitter info, maybe I should start writing here more.
I'm a software developer for HiRISE.
HiRISE is a big, badass camera currently in orbit around Mars. It's carried by a gorgeous pelican-like spacecraft called the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MRO.
Your typical spacecraft is a box with an antenna, some sort of power source, and a bunch of bits sticking out. Some thrusters, too, of course. Gotta have thrusters. On MRO, the antenna is huge. The power source is a giant pair of wing-like solar arrays. HiRISE is the biggest bit that isn't the HGA (high-gain antenna) or the SAs (solar arrays). It's a huge telescope barrel pointing down at the surface of Mars in MRO's normal flight configuration.
Here's a picture. I'll give you three guesses as to which of these things is HiRISE. Some clues: Does it look like a big, foil-wrapped radio dish? That's not HiRISE. Does it look like solar arrays? Not us. The next thing you think might be us is, in fact, us.
(Here's a link to a picture of a pelican. See? MRO kind of looks like a pelican.)
As I say, I'm a software developer. Sometimes people like to call me a software engineer, but I don't really think of myself as an engineer.
I started out in planetary science after an undergrad journey through physics and astronomy. If you've heard of Jay Melosh or Rick Greenberg, they were my grad school advisors. If you haven't heard of them, they were still my advisors but it's not critical that you know who they are so let's skip forward a bit.
I love space. I love planets. I love science. I love doing all the dicking around that comes with science. I'm not fond of the follow-through, though. That's the publishing part, the giving-of-talks part, and that's in many ways the most important part of science.
I can, however, turn a lot of my dicking around into something other scientists can use to do their thing more easily, and since much of my dicking around turns out to be computer programming, that was the clear path forward.
So I do that. I write software that scientists use. In this case, it happens to be software that is used to plan images that are then taken by a camera orbiting Mars on a what is basically a foil-wrapped box. I also write the software that we use to generate commands for that camera; these are almost always imaging commands.
The planning tool is called HiPlan. The commanding tool is called HiCommand. Other fun names of tools that I've developed include these: HiTemp, HiSEAS, Data Slacker, The HOGG, and HIPHOP. I'll explain those some day, but let me just say for the record how awesome it is to hear the science team talking about "hiphopping" and "hogging" the latest image. I giggle a little bit inside every single time.
Because the commanding tool is called HiCommand, I call myself HiCommander on Twitter and elsewhere.
I don't do my thing alone. I often work with one or two student programmers, with exotic names like Steve, Missy, a different Steve, Shawn, Josh, Jeremy, Arjang, Ben, Brian, and Drew. I'm worried I might have forgotten some. A plurality of the time, when they leave, they go off to the DoD or one of its subcontractors. Missy went off to State, though, and that makes me especially happy. By "State" I mean "The United States Department of State." She's in the diplomatic corps. I love that.
In addition to the student programmers, members of the science team often generate prototype tools that I then take under my wing. HIPHOP started out as an IDL program written by science team member Nick. HiTemp started out as an IDL program written by science team member Laz. HiSEAS started out as an IDL program written by science team member Shane. Data Slacker started out as a Python program written by science team member Ross.
There are three other full-time software developers on the team, each responsible for software in different areas of HiRISE operations. I'm the lead on the planning and commanding, though, and for that, it's just me, my student or two, and the occasional science team member who puts together a prototype.
Right now, in the middle of August 2012, you might be most aware of HiRISE because of what we've done in support of the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity. I prefer to call it MSL, because I like TLAs.
MSL landed on Mars on August 5th or 6th, depending on where you were. I was in Tucson, gathered together with a bunch of other HiRISE folk, and we watched it in our main conference room, so that was August 5th for us. After MSL had landed, our work really began, because, you see, a few minutes before MSL touched down on Mars, we had taken a picture of it.
We had taken a picture of it at the end of its parachute, racing through the very thin atmosphere of Mars.
So we spent the night waiting for the data to get to us, then waiting for it to be processed, and then combing through the—oh, wow, targeting specialist Nicole found it pretty quickly. Way to go, Nicole!
We showed it off at the press conference the morning of the 6th, according to the clocks in JPL and in Tucson. You might have seen it. You probably thought, wow, MSL is really cool and the landing mechanism is crazy, but holy shit did we really take a picture of it on its chute, racing through Martian air?
Yes we did. This is it, here.
Like I said, HiRISE is a badass camera. The best part about it is that we did it 2008, too, for the Phoenix lander.
Did I really just write that the best part of the MSL image is that we'd already done a similar image four years earlier? What?
Obviously the best part about the MSL descent image is the MSL descent image.
In any case, yes, the world was reminded once again about HiRISE when MSL landed on Mars. When you see images taken from space of the rover and the area in which it's working, that will be us as well. Sometimes the world forgets we're there. Frowny face.
During the press conference on August 7th, MSL mission manager Mike Watkins said something along the lines of "Engineers hate surprises." Implied as part of the larger story he was telling was that scientists love them.
This is why I don't consider myself a software engineer. I love surprises, where "surprises" here means "bugs." Bugs are mostly fun for me. Sure, they can be quite annoying, like the time I broke HiCommand when targeting specialist Anjani needed to generate some commands at 8 PM a number of years ago. But on the whole, they are fun to track down. Fun to pick apart. Fun to test.
Bugs are so fun, I award gold foil stars to our targeting specialists when they find one. I stick the stars on the nameplates on the doors to their offices. (It started when targeting specialist Ingrid jokingly asked if she would get a gold star for finding a bug. I thought, "Hell yes," and ran off to the campus bookstore to buy a pack. Really good bugs earn a chocolate star, which is just a chocolate candy bar of slightly better quality than something produced by the Mars company, which I realize is a pretty unlikely thing for me to say.)
I also stick red foil stars of shame on my own nameplate when I really screw something up. Breaking HiCommand was a double red-star affair.
(Since I'm describing the HiPlan/HiCommand bug reward system, I should maybe note that finding a gold-star bug does not necessarily mean I get a matching red star. Indeed, it's almost always one or the other, on my judgment. I am judge, jury, and deliverer of foil stars.)
So, no, I don't hate surprises when it comes to my software. I love them. Ergo, I'm not really a software engineer. I guess you could say I'm a software scientist, except that's not a thing anyone says, ever. "Computer scientist" is usually the term, but to me that means "AI researcher," and I'm not that.
So there it is. Nice to meet you. I hope to talk more about HiRISE here, especially HiPlan and other tools.

Breast enhancement is a dream that many women have. This is because many women are quite obsessed about the size of their breasts. If they have small breasts, they feel insecure and unhappy about it because they feel that they do not look attractive.
There are many reasons why women are quite obsessed with their breast size. Because of the high demand, the breast enhancement industry is quite significant in size.
However, despite the available of breast enhancement options to the general public, it is still important to think twice and make the necessary considerations to ensure that they will not regret their decision to get bigger breasts.
Here are some of the things that people should consider before getting breast enhancement.
- Price – what is the point of dreaming about getting bigger breasts if one cannot afford it? This is why it is very important that before actually evaluating the available options in terms of getting bigger breasts, one should first consider the budget that they have to work with. This way, they will not be wasting their time and their efforts because they will only consider breast enhancement options that fall within their budget.
- Level of commitment – there are many women who are very whimsical. This is the main reason why women who are quite whimsical have no business getting their breasts enhanced. It is really not a good idea because if they get breast enhancements out on a whim, they may end up regretting their decision in the near future. Getting bigger breasts requires a very high level of commitment for a woman. As such, she needs to make sure that she will stick to her guns in order to ensure that she finally gets the breast size that she has been dreaming of. Many doctors actually get their patients checked by a psychiatrist in order to determine the level of commitment of their patients.
- Breast size – Before getting breast enhancements, one should first consider the breast size that they will be targeting. This is because if they do not set any limits, they might end up getting breasts that are so big, they no longer look nice to look at. Breast size is important to set because this will ensure that one is able to know the goals that they ought to target. Usually a surgeon is going to recommend an ideal breast size and this will already be enough for the needs of a normal woman.
- Professional availability – it is not a good idea to cut costs for breast enhancements. This is because one might end up with poor quality work. One should only get breast enhancement from a qualified professional who will be operating in their area. Good doctors will guarantee quality breast enhancements at all times.
For those who are planning to get some breast enhancements, they should first consider these things.
This way, they will be able to make intelligent and well informed decisions with regards to the whether to go with breast enhancements or not.

An unusual cause of heart failure in an octogenarian femaleFirst Online: 26 August 2016Received: 04 May 2016Accepted: 18 July 2016DOI: 10.1007-s00508-016-1061-2

Patent ductus arteriosus PDA is the third most common congenital abnormality in which the arterial duct, which normally closes spontaneously after birth within 24–48 h in full-term infants, remains permanently open. Breathlessness is very common in elderly patients and can be caused by several comorbidities, mostly cardiac and pulmonary diseases. PDA as a cause of heart failure in this patient population is very rare and diagnosis depends on high clinical awareness. Here we present a case diagnosed with multimodality imaging including 3‑dimensional 3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and 3D-volume rendering technique VRT computed tomography.

PARIS (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will be told at a European summit this week that while there is progress on the terms of Britain's departure from the European Union, both sides should prepare for a "no deal" scenario, a French presidency source said.
With nine months left until Britain is due to leave the EU, there is still little clarity over Britain's future relationship with the bloc after Brexit.
Without agreement, in particular over how to avoid a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after withdrawal, the EU cannot conclude a "divorce" treaty with Britain, raising the prospect that Britain could leave without a deal.
"Everyone agrees that a no deal scenario is bad news," the Elysee Palace official told reporters in a briefing ahead of the June 28-29 summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
The Elysee official said leaders at the summit will convey to May that despite advances in negotiations, key points remain unanswered and that, since the clock is still ticking, it is necessary to prepare for no deal.
"It's not what we want, it's not what the British want," the official added. "Nor is it the most likely option. But we have to prepare for it with seriousness because it would be inexplicable for us, on both sides, to tell our investors and our businesses 'we have not prepared for this scenario.'"
In Copenhagen, Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Brexit could end without a deal.
"It is the first time we are saying clearly to the British, that we can end in the worst scenario, no deal," Rasmussen said in a parliament committee meeting.
Draft summit conclusions seen by Reuters presented a softer tone. They showed that the leaders of the 27 countries that will remain in the EU after Britain leaves in March 2019 will express concern that no substantial progress has been over the Irish border question.
The draft says: "The European Council renews its call upon Member States, Union institutions and all stakeholders to step up their work on preparedness at all levels and for all outcomes".
The leaders will also call on Britain to provide "realistic and workable proposals" on its future relationship, according to the draft.
Manufacturing giants such as Airbus (AIR.PA) have followed banks in voicing mounting frustration at the slow pace of negotiations as concerns about Britain crashing out of the EU without a deal grow.

|Trust In The Moonlight. Original (SOLD)
Prints available in my etsy shop.
"Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain."
-Joseph Campbell
I love painting owls because they help me to get back into my comfort zone whenever I get frustrated with creating something new. In that way, I find my creative flow again and start experimenting with new supplies, characters, and techniques.
This is one of the owls I share from start to finish in my new online class HOW TO PAINT AN OWL 2.
For this piece, I really played with layering different art supplies.
I dug deep into my supply closets and pulled out lots of favorite things that I hadn't used in a while... origami papers, oil pastels, and chalk.
From there, I had fun building up all of the colors and layers.

Real-Time Stream and August Capital Summer CrunchUp
Co-hosted by GigaOm, TechCrunch and VentureBeat
Friday, July 10, 2009 from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (PDT)
Event Details
It is time to figure out where all of this is going, to bring together the smartest people we can find and map out the different paths the stream can take. We've just begin to organize this mini-conference, but already the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. We are calling it a CrunchUp because it will be highly participatory and real-time in every sense of the word. TechCrunchIT editor Steve Gillmor and I will be hosting the event.
Speakers and panelists from Facebook, FriendFeed, Microsoft, Salesforce, Seesmic, and Tweetmeme will be there, and we are just getting started (stay tuned for full lineup). Companies pushing real-time streams to new levels will also be demoing their products, some which haven't yet launched publicly, such as Andrew Baron's Magma. (If you have an eye-opening demo or want to launch a product at the CrunchUp, please contact our conference producer, Asad Akbar).
Additional participants will be announced in the coming weeks. If you've got some real-time hotness to share, contact us. You will be able to find the speakers, agenda and details as they evolve here.
The CrunchUp will take place on Friday, July 10, between 9:00 am and 4:30 PM at the historic Fox Theatre in Redwood City. Tickets are $295 and are on sale now through Eventbrite. Admission to the August Capital MeetUp is automatically included in your CrunchUp ticket (with expedited check-in to the MeetUp.)
The combined CrunchUp - MeetUp also gives us a great sponsorship platform for start-ups and brands to reach both conference and networking attendees. Please contact Jeannie Logozzo or Heather Harde to learn more about sponsorship packages and custom opportunities. Additional details here.
We'll plan to release the first batch of August Capital MeetUp tickets the week of June 15, but we'd really love to spend the whole day with you real time. Hope you can join us.

Cover Fire
by Jess Anastasi
Publication Date: June 19, 2017
Genres: Adult, Entangled: Otherworld, Paranormal Romance
If the assignment is crazy, dangerous, or a little of both, Sub-Lieutenant Sebastian Rayne can't help but take on the challenge. So when Command Intelligence tags him to fly one of their agents behind enemy lines, it seems like just another routine death-defying mission. Crash landing on the planet was a piece of cake, but the gorgeous agent he delivered safely to her meeting is now believed dead and he must return to retrieve her body.
After Agent Jenna Branson realizes her own people attempted to have her killed, she enlists the hot stick jockey's help. His new mission? Sneak her back onto his ship to ferret out who wanted to get rid of her and why. But she fears her growing feelings for Seb have blinded her to his reckless insistence on helping her stay alive, and his rash behavior will cause them both to lose their lives.
About Jess Anastasi
Jess has been making up stories ever since she can remember. Though her messy handwriting made it hard for anyone else to read them, she wasn't deterred and now she gets to make up stories for a living. She loves loud music, a good book on a rainy day, and probably spends too much time watching too many TV shows. Jess lives in regional Victoria, Australia, with her very supportive husband, three daughters, two border collie dogs, and one cat who thinks he's one of the kids.
