I loved all the contrasts made between Strangers and Friends. Of Best friends and Maybe friends. Then the choices on who they were versus those on what they could be. Then options against perception. On belief in self versus contentment in the same. One of them in her comfort zone and then later the same exploring other ones. So, there's what makes them "them" versus the paths that lead elsewhere. So, Changes (changes. CHANGES!) on one hand, and then Grief (Grief. GRIEF!) on the other. But mostly, it's them being not-so great then wait a beat and it's them being just that; it's the ordinary feel they all bring to each their stories that I loved.
So, flashback to what I loved in SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS: a lot about Dan and Jane and definitely a little bit because Fred and then forward to WILDLIFE- less the sweet and happy in the possibilities from the first, and more with the real and the really SAD. In other word: emotion.
Enter, LOU and Syb.
Lou is the object of much affection from me. Her moving her way through all the things she's feeling and SIMULTANEOUSLY being the observer sets her apart. It's the last that allows for two things to happen: we know her but we also see what she sees. And it's In knowing her that we feel for her (and frankly, already five percent, I was already teary over all the things she was saying and more importantly- not saying.)
With each moment of her feeling what she was, it's made clear things are not easy for her (for any of them really.). There's no easy fix for her because the good doesn't come in a snap. It's in working through that, that we get to KNOW her. On the other hand, there's Lou as observer: we see what she does. It's in this that a more complete picture of how the others could be is made. There's a stripped down and more accurate version of Syb offered up as a consequence. She's less the good girl going with the flow, because flaws are made obvious in this one; flaws not limited to the Mean Girls present in this one either.
And Speak of flaws: we have Syb. I love that she's different: aware of who she was and how she could be "better" but not bothering to move toward the same because knowing who she was that there's this lack of drama from her (for the most part.) Or more apt: there's drama but not much of her being dragged down by the same. I just love that. In the face of all things going on- she could be regular kid, not needing to be the best thing or the greatest thing; happy to have things unfold as they were. Yet, it's in not-acting , this always reactive stance she has that makes her even more real for me.
It's a love story. It's a love between me and this book, rather than one between any one of the characters. Because I loved this. And I loved them.
Oh, Lish McBride, you make me happy. Like in Necromancer, you've come up with yet another motley crew of the definitely snarky, sometimes cute, and often funny that find themselves embroiled in some dark, dangerous, supernatural goings-on.
That they are all such nice guys is just a bonus- nice because where one pays special attention to potential collateral damage, another is a hodge podge mix of leather jacket clad nature boy... slightly eco-footprint without being preachy about it, and the other? The other is sly and hot and aware and UNAPOLOGETIC about none of those things. Thus, it's a toss up to determine just who I enjoyed most- Ezra, for his cocky asshole ways, or Lock for all those smooth moments balanced out by the not-so smooth ones, or Ava- all resigned over the way things are but plodding on and being snarky nonetheless! Or perhaps, them together is what made each of them shine. (Yup, I'm going with the last one.)
But more than the nice they're each capable of, there's the funnier WISE GUY bit they had going for them. They're not the good-guys by typical standards: muscle, assassin, and thief, each crack made by one or the other painted a clear picture of them as a team- one aware of what the other is capable of or what the other's about to do. And funny because of it. There's genuine camaraderie present plus the knowledge of one another that makes for interesting dynamics; because there's them in a sort of comfort zone (mindful of pigeonholes versus possibilities,) but hellbent on not shaking things up. But with the shaking up being inevitable... Gah! all that pressure, all that tension Gah! me thinking back to the Lock and Ava moments has me wanting to reread this... and I just finished it too!
Now that Clique-y group friend thing aside, the dark aspect in this was equally engaging. There's that dark underbelly mafia feel, with more than one crazy present. I liked it even as I am now left with a want to know more. In other words, there's more of Ava and Lock an Ez to come, right?! Right? (Tell me I'm not wishing for the impossible here, people!)
Thank you, NG!
One Kick is my first read from Cain; and if her Heart books are anything close to this, then picture me excited.
The two leads in this are not so stellar: We know everything about Kick- but it is that she's a survivor who'se come up with ways of coping that mark her even more different, more remarkable. Contrast her to Bishop, and the scales are not balanced ever; as there's too much mystery around him, liking or disliking him is impossible. I didn't know anything about him!
That said, what they've tasked themselves to do was exciting then terrifying. (Also, I cried--- for the obvious reason: bad things happening to good people but worse to good animals!) In the end, One Kick is a mixed bag for me. Mostly, I enjoyed the excitement all her in-knowledge permitted: the various secret passage ways and that purposefully hidden culture... I wish more of this was explored even knowing that this was where the ugly lay. Because already, what they'd managed to uncover got terrifying and then ugly. But it's the HOW it's all managed that got a touch too MacGyver; otherwise, this was a good start to a series I am definitely going to continue.
Thank you, Edelweiss!
There are two kinds of scary in this one- there's the second and more obvious bit that combines terrifying visuals of clowns, left-over hand prints, and entities like Thin Man, Frost and other 'Immortals'; but there's the first kind, predicated on being alone and being judged. It's with the latter as starting ground, that we have a girl who's been broken, only to find herself handed an unexpected opportunity--- revenge, (that's apparently best served after the mother of all makeovers at the hands of the Uber Hot man/boy of her dreams.) So, I loved some aspects of this, liked some others, and was meh over one specific thing.
I loved the imagery and how what's terrifyingly familiar has been used in this one. Lot's of the scares here feel like they'd been culled from my nightmares- that a Pennywise-like figure makes an appearance; that thing with a glass surface with the disappearing hand prints; those scary out of place (time) looking folk- who, for some reason, had me thinking of fields of corn *shudder*. And believe you me, there's more.
Less enamored was I, with the push-pull-push going on between the two leads; don't get me wrong, I love the fact that she doubted and questioned the attraction, but there's that issue of things being 'inevitabale,' as in "Obviously, we know how this is going to turn out."
Thankfully, other aspects made up for it: the Game, in particular. While it's not completely laid out in terms of the what, who, how or why; the bits that have been revealed make it clear- this is more than gussied up smart girl getting her revenge; There's so much possibility here.
thank you, eb!
Interesting. How roles have shifted and personalities changed. The girl has not completely shaken off the tendency to want what she doesn't have. In book one, she was stuck in Citizen Cane, unsure how to keep things going; but in book two, we're still allowed glimpses of that; but more than her keeping the household going- here, it's her wondering over how to keep the new version of herself ( that version that River had awoken) going. So she's still fanciful, but there's more emphasis given to the idea that if anyone was going to see things through, it'd be her.
Yet, the magical here is too easily accepted; in fact, things take place too easily. Hear a mysterious radio program says so and so is happening? Well, guess where we're headed! Stumble upon mentions of fiery red hair sighted? Guess where we're going next! For such a smart lead in the first, here that same attribute felt little exercised--- she was just following a too conveniently laid out trail. (It's the one thing that I found out of place.)
Fortunately, other aspects of the book made up for that. First, that shift previously mentioned- in how she could be. Second, the added bonus given the complication of Neely. It's surprising really... how he picks up where River left off because the ensuing confliction created in her over them--- it was not as annoying a 'love triangle' (if you can call them that) that it could have been. Mainly because there's introspection and actual consideration on her part about not just who they each were, but who they each were for the other. It's that she questioned, wavers, then gets back to it... but at least she questioned.
Thank you, E!
Everything Leads to You starts with this modern noir feel of bestfriends on the trail left behind by a silver screen icon, then shifts into something even more quiet, as the mystery of a letter and its contents, are pushed aside and become more about this new person and the draw she has for Emi. So, a love story... eventually, but not just.
More- it's all of them on the cusp of this new thing: acting-talking-and taking on their more grown up roles, but punctuated with moments of them, being not-quite the adults they picture themselves becoming. They swing back and forth and back from trying to be grown-up TO not-quite managing it. It's this particular aspect of the book that I enjoyed most. Because they all act so adult, sophisticated, and in the know, when really, they're not any of those things... yet.
Emi and Charlotte- reveal an interesting contrast, too. Both 18 and raring to get their adult lives started, but both so young too. It's the second that's most obvious: in their talk of fantasy-reality and the fall of one versus build up of the other. The very concept that not all is evident BUT can be made so, felt so young to me. Them pointing that out at all- felt like such young thing. But, if first there's wonder and possibility and appreciation for both; later there's the other side of them finding what's previously wonderful/fantastic become not just that, the more familiar they become with it.
It's a theme that's repeated here- Emi as a designer and her work in movies; Charlotte and her ability to line things up- both make the more obvious example. Movies as magic versus little tricks and tips and what not. Yet, Emi still holds true despite... despite the learning; she stills sees possibilities. So right there a contrast: she's young but not young; an adult-in-the-making.
Another bit of stripping down is of Ava and Jamal pointing out how Emi's and Charlotte's own reality is part fantasy... especially when contrasted against J's and A's own; as theirs is neither as possibility filled or optimistic as E's and C's.
And later- and last- where Ava is concerned; as seen in the eyes of Emi, there's a movie being made around her (another thing that establishes just how young the MC really is in this one is); because for Emi, she's all these almost childish scenarios of epic love story and a host of other what if's, but it is Ava who's the object of all those what if's. Yet, the moment that ceased and once, more 'stripping down' was done, there's a lot of seeing things for what they were and appreciating things-people- more for the same. This has more than one Fantasy collapse- time and time again; and it's that for all of them that allows the Real-and the better- to come into focus.
They've all cast themselves in some role that they want or think they should have, but once they set those aside, I enjoyed them all more. But there were flaws in this nonetheless- like the too perfect way Emi is- she's just too 'great!' in too many aspects but if objectively seen is not really all that. Her tendency to romanticize things was especially difficult to get over- her and her dream job and what she could/would do; her and her object of admiration/affection/lust/maybe-love had me wondering over her ability to frame things and see things in a certain (unreal?) light. Neither did I appreciate the too simple oppositions: on one side Emi, happy and on the other Ava, not happy at all. It's too easy, the lines made... too simple the differences, pointed out.
Still, I enjoyed this for them and that they're all on the edge of something; with most of them taking on adult roles, but still holding on to a sense of innocence... shedding that last slowly with each fantasy that's collapsed.
thank you, e!
With musings of ''You can find ways to be okay with dying, but you can't fake your way through living.' finding themselves intertwined with 16 year old boy humor, Noggin is a touching mix of the funny (in a cringe-please-don't-do-what-i-think-you're-up- to) and the deep. It's the second that should not have come as a surprise (considering this comes from the same author who brought us 'Where Things Come Back') Yet, set that last aside and there is unexpected depth---emphazised by Travis and the 'he's such a boy' feel he starts his story with. And while he is funny, all the humor (and there's plenty) doesn't quite disguise the truth: there's more here, to him and then them than initially thought.
Dying, dead, and now back, Noggin has Travis as Rip Van Winkle only half a decade in; it's a period that's long enough to have things be different, only not quite for him especially, but not exclusively:
Because there are contrasts made between of what he knew AND what he's learning; between how he was with them VERSUS how they all are without him that kept tugging at me. It's the incongruence of it all for him (then for them) about what he recalls and how things are that allow for that mix of cringeworthy kid-move as seen through people who knew him BUT NOT vice versa, because he is stuck while they've moved on. He wants things a certain way and can't get things-people- to line up; yet in attempting to get things done, we see: that that incongruence between what's-wanted and what-is is not his alone; there too are more than a couple of 'What now's?' for those around him.
Yet the reverse is true and most moving as well- that while he's viewed as this kid who's come back while they have grown- either by growing up, growing apart, and growing 'smarter', there's even a more felt truth in him finally pointing out that he is just a kid despite the year and despite the rest of them having grown up-apart-smarter.
In books, in songs, in stories love is a floating thing.
A falling thing. A flying thing. A good bye to all your little earthbound worries, as you soar heart-first toward a pink sky and your dangling feet forget to feel the ground.
Only I know, now: it isn't like that at all.
Love is a sense of place. It's effortless, no stumbling, no stammering,. It's your own voice, quite but strong, and the sense that you can open your mouth, speak your mind, and never feel afraid.
A known quantity, a perfect fit.
It's the thing that holds you tight to earth, fast and solid and sure. You feel it, and feel that it's right and true, and you know exactly where you are:
Moody and quiet and thoughtful, Inland is not a happy story told; there's a general sense of longing on all their parts with varying basis. Callie Morgan longs for something as yet unnamed; her father longs for what isn't anymore- his perfect wife and their happy family. Nessa knows what she cannot have and sees the futility in the same, instead works with what she's dealt with, makes do and almost (but not quite) flourishes.
The writing is beautifully written, and is told by a girl -whose perspective had me doubting a host of things- who initiates things with her experiences of being alone as well as being lonely; and then weaves with those first more memories of a mother- recollections that are cloaked, like everything else in this the story is cloaked - in the unsure; second, the novelty and uncertainty of her present.
Her mother is a memory and she doubts what she remembers. It's an uncertainty that extends to almost everything here. The new things she's allowed and how she's not quite ready to claim any of it- pointing out how "unreal" all the "normal" was for her. All of it is couched in a sense that there are things that are deserved but there's also a whole lot more that aren't. It's her and a general sense of, "Mine. But why?" And later, "until when?"
Thank you, Penguin FtR!
There's a sequel, right? right?!
Lara Jean confused me- on one hand, there's a sweetness to her that felt genuine; on the other, there were all those other moments of her being clueless, almost too clueless. It's a split that warranted a closer look on my part. And ta da! reading this was sweet then not so sweet and then back again.
She reads young. Sometimes too young. Naïve, at best, then TSTL, at worst, she is Middle Child, who makes it's clear that she's no Margo – take charge, but neither is she the baby - sweet and all. Then with one out of the picture, the story partially becomes them coming into new roles and learning a new system; specifically, that Margo's way isn't necessarily her own. There's a lot of insecurity because of this, and it's in that that the True comes out. Because I could picture it: her muddling through things along with the rest of them.
So, what's my favorite thing about this book? ROLES. Roles they all take on first because of circumstance then because they've all grown used to it. Margo, Lara Jean and then Kitty- first one is in charge, last one adds the sweetness, and the middle set on observing; it's when all those things change that we witness how they are each capable of more- as well as less.
The okay aspect: obviously, all the boys she'd loved before, and why each moment of her with them clarifies why it is in fact BEFORE and not STILL.
This was a cute read… and made even more sweet with all the family stuff going on for her.
There's nothing that blows my mind in this one; but neither was there anything that merited a 2 or 1. Overall, it's an OK read. With a lead in Renna who is kick ass in owning herself and what she's capable of and using what's handy to get things done. In fact, it's that she consistently gets out of whatever mess that's present without much effort, so often in occurrence that I became less and less interested in her… because for the most part she's kick ass. End off. Plus the matter of all the romantic interests (plural) who are all too easily swayed by her feminine wiles. On the one hand: Yay! for owning that aspect of yourself; on the other… is that all it would take to distract so and so? So, sharp contrast is made between her and the rest of them: her- kick ass - where the rest of them - a little too simply depicted for me.
Well, now. Catch a Falling Star has surprising depth considering the super star falling for small town girl formula it works around. It's so much more than that! Mainly, there is an awareness of position on the part of both the main characters. For the girl, there is a kind of level headedness that's different given the less than positive effect it's got- the same is holding her back from wondering. And I enjoyed it for that difference, as well as for the unexpectedness in depth.
She is aware of what she wants, what she could have, and what's expected. Yet, in being thus, she limits herself. It's the rest who play a part in her becoming more receptive to the idea of "more." So, sure, we start with a Hollywood type, yet there's surprising depth despite (and that later because of that) because it is not just about the building up of a "them." Rather, focus is given to who she is and who she could become.
Then factor in the male lead: he was everything she expected him to be, but surpasses some things too; it's in those other moments- of him, not as the Star, that made this a touch been there and done that, but it's the unapologetic manner he's finally presented pulled my appreciation for this up a notch
Thank you, E!
Happiness wasn't a mystical place to be reached or won - some bright terrain beyond the boundary of misery, a paradise waiting for them to find it - but something to carry doggedly with you through everything, as humble and ordinary as your gear and supplies. Food, weapons, happiness
They belonged to each other to hold.
Holy mother of words! This was beautiful. More than what Akiva and Karou have gone through, there's a whole group of supporting characters that contribute to me loving this series even more than I did when I first started it. There are threads of emotion that link one to another then another then another; but better, there are individual stories, too.
Let's work our way in (oh, and how do I do this without giving anything away?) Book One had it clear: she's on one side and he, the other. Book Two complicates things further, by delving into what that divide meant for the two of them. (cue: hearts breaking, the book world over.) Book Three allows a peek into the specifics of both their worlds; and what continuing in that way meant. So things change. And behold! Me, loving these books even more.
It's not like there's anything new to this set up because strip it down and it's clear we have read stories like these before – star crossed loves and all that; great best friends, too. But it's Taylor's choice of words that render the story of Akiva and Karou, Zuz and Mik, Misbegotten and Beast an experience
I was feeling everything she wanted me to. The conflict and doubt they each experienced had me wanting to sit them down for a talking to; those instances of fun that inevitably came with Zuzana in tow or even those sweet ones between her and Violin Boy, while out of place given all the tense things they're all faced, brought it home, they all definitely have a part in the story told.
I believed the leads in this one, particularly her changing views on what's expected and what's realistic. Weighing the safe route versus ambitious as she was is based on being knocked back time and again and the same having left an effect on her- a sad reality but a true one.
So, yes, I was buying that aspect of the story. Now him and who he was: shifting from not caring to caring too much is another thing completely. Because there's this whole side kick jock back story that paints him unfavorably; but that they do come into each other's lives at the point that they do, when his lost his footing and her a direction has them making sense together for me.
It is Katie McGarry novel, so yes, there is Drama. But in this one, there's a move to go beyond him as rich boy and her as poor girl and yada yada yada (though if you want that kind of read, just look up her older stuff.) Anyway, thank the Gods, in making RED AT NIGHT less about that and more about their (particularly, her) changing views and what's to be done about the same, I found myself liking this more and more.
I read Still Life with Strings twice because I enjoyed it so much; it may not be as different as her Painted Faces, but something in it worked for me. I enjoyed her and him and how we meet them both in their respective "after's."
The big things that have happened to either has them living their life a certain way; that they meet at that time, makes their connection even more (I could say "too" romantic except I really did enjoy this one) because there's no saving here; they're both past that, and as said, living in each their what-after's.
Them looking back has less to do with them being stuck in the past; it's more of the two marked by it, so clearly neither of them led easy lives; the decisions she's made on how to live and why is something else altogether as time and again it pressed on what they could become… were becoming. Him, and his history though less felt, was still present. He is, in fact, just as marked (fragile?) as she.
Eventually the connections made and eventually revealed set their story apart even more. Known to one but not the other, how deep and how unexpected their connection is adds to the romance of things.
he Nature of Cruelty is NA's take on a boy's pulling a girl's pigtails because he likes her- except with more drama. Despite that last thing, this was not a bad read; mainly given female lead aware of who she is, what she wants, and more importantly, what she doesn't want. Contrast all the moments with her to the flashbacks of why the male lead was the way he was- that he allowed things to progress as they did, I still wonder at, but this is less about him and more about her anyway.
It's interesting: how mostly she's this strong lead: new to so many things but not cowed by the same; continuing just that way, I can see the attraction he held for her. Now the reverse is still unclear to me. Why him? The guy in this one is a grade-A douche: past and present; no prize, he is; but let's set that aside and focus on the girl and how his interaction with her has shaped some of what she wants and doesn't want, needs and doesn't need. Or the fact that they've shaped each other in a way: his behavior toward her has readied for more of the same while she's opened him to the idea that not all things are negative. Yes, there are all those moments of woman on pedestal for him; yet it's his contrary nature that has him acting as he does… which was in turns interesting then confusing. Bonus points on how there really only one big eye-roll moment here: MC's and their speeches always crack me up.
Not bad.
Woah. This was bloodier than expected; though why not when the title calls for Dorothy's death? It's a total about face from what we know of Oz and the characters in it. My favorite bit is Dorothy as lush, Tin Man head over heels for her, Cowardly Lion not cowardly but bloodthirsty and what not, and Scarecrow as something else altogether. Good is Wicked and Wicked is Good. Or were they, because if it's not one person then it's another insisting no one, least of all themselves, were to be trusted.
The more interesting bit is how there is a separate story here. Strip away all the trappings of what make this a re-imagination, and we have Amy, a girl who living a life so far from perfect; there is no Auntie Em in her life. Down and out and all that's depressing, yet she's still spunky. Is she another Dorothy? The parallels are there as she points out- Kansas, tornado and pet of a certain variety, but no… she isn't. There's a "real" way to how things are seen from her point of view… all is not good, something she does not blind herself from. But there's also the more positive aspect: of her doing something about … stuff.
It's a fun read. Yes, even with the requisite love interest present. I say so because they each have a role to play; as in the love interest is more than the love interest. At times, it's that same thing that conflicts with what needs doing. Even better, there's saving done but not by those expected.
This was bloodier than I thought it was going to be; but fun all the same.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A 7-year-old boy was struck and killed by a BMW sedan in the Arden-Arcade area Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol said the boy and a friend ran across Howe Avenue near Burney Way while walking home from school just after 1:20 p.m.
The friend made it across safely, but the other boy, identified as Tayvon Webb, hesitated and was hit by the BMW traveling at about 40 miles per hour, CHP spokesperson Lizz Dutton said.
The boys were not using a cross walk but rather tried to cross from Bellview Park after leaving Howe Avenue Elementary.
Webb was transported to UC Davis Medical Center with severe head trauma but died as a result of his injuries. The driver stopped after the accident and was cooperative, authorities said. A witness said the driver didn't appear to see the boys.
"I see him go to school every day. It just hurts my heart," said nearby resident Tiffany Roland.
The CHP says they are still investigating the case and have not yet filed charges against the driver.
"Cross at the green—not in between!"
Don't they teach that in elementary school any more…?
I wonder if any adults in the area would be willing to volunteer as crossing guards to make sure the kids make it across safely. There must surely be someone (retired folks maybe?) who would be able to do that.
Was the driver Asian?
Yes JL….it was ur Momma
wow where were the lazy parents watching tv bet they waiting on sue money unfit parents
7 year old boy walking down a main street by his self they should be in jail they should not get none of his death money blame urself for not picking hime up he WAS 7 get off ur ass and be a parent me and my girlfriend have a 6year old if i cant pick him up she will!!!!!! bet the parents dont work living on the little boys income, sorry for little boy, not for the nothing sitting around running thestreets parents it was your fault
First of all i am a close friend of the little boys father,and i knew him,the lady was apparenty going to fast down that street,you guys can say whatever! Blame whoever,it doesnt justify the fact that she was going to fast! People really need to pay attention and be aware of their surroundings! She sould of been following the damn speed limit! Bottom line! My heart truly goes out to tayvon and the whole family!

text: Robert Smith was waiting for the nurse to call him into the doctor's office to prepare him for his scheduled endoscopy, not realizing it would be the last normal day in his life. Once called into the office, Robert was put under anesthetic and doctors went about putting a tube down his throat in order to find out what was causing his stomach discomfort. Unexpectedly, Robert woke up before he was supposed to and realized he was in a different room with many people he didn't recognize. He heard phrases like, "What is that?" and "Are those wires?" Robert felt every cut made into his body for the exploratory surgery these strange people in black suits were performing on him. After Robert forced himself off the table, he managed to get a weapon out of the hand of one of the black suits. At gun point, Robert demanded the anesthetist knock out his attackers and then kidnapped him in order to use his car to get away. Next, he set about making himself invisible. He knew he couldn't go to his house where his foster parents lived or any place he'd normally visit. The first night he checked into a hotel for some rest to give himself some time to decide what to do the next day. He was overwhelmed with thoughts about what was inside him. He looked over the evidence he took from the doctor's office which included a videotape of the endoscopy. On the tape he saw things that should have been impossible. After a sleepless night, Robert put the first step of his plan in motion. To become a different person, change identities, disappear from the face of the Earth. He went to see a girl named Eddi who was in the business of fake ids, birth certificates, and other needed credentials to get by in life. What he found when he got to her place was suspicion and uncertainty. Life quickly spiraled out of control for both of them shortly after their paths crossed. Escape to Trejeda on the Canary Islands seemed like the best plan. For a time, life fell into the routine of sleeping late, eating fantastic food, and work. Eddi and Robert knew they couldn't hide forever, but they were never prepared for how everything would end. BEING is an interesting story of an orphan trying to learn his identity. It is filled with intrigue and suspense, however; there are a few loose ends that might leave the reader unsatisfied.

Basil My HeartPosted: October 23, 2010 Filed under: baking, buttercream, cupcakes, i love butter, references 10 Comments
A few days back I was thinking I really wanted basil in something sweet and I wanted to try a basil buttercream. It's probably one too many episodes of Top Chef: Just Desserts rubbing off on me but it sounded really delicious.
One of the most obvious choices for a cupcake to me was something citrus flavoured. Inspired, I thought to myself I'd just make my usual cupcake recipe but add lemon zest in and I'd fill it in with lemon curd.
Just grab any vanilla cupcake recipe (there are 20 million versions out there) and add the zest of a whole lemon to it. I also swapped out the vanilla extract and used the seeds of a whole vanilla pod instead because I wanted to be fancy. And also because I have a whole lot of vanilla pods waiting to be used up from a past project.
The lemon curd recipe is an Alton Brown recipe but I stumbled on a few problems whilst making it. I've never made lemon curd before so I was really going in blind on this. My lemon curd just didn't have the right consistency to it, even after adding in the butter. Instead of throwing it out, I just popped it back on the double boiler, chucked in another egg yolk and cooked it for another 10 minutes or so until it really thickened up, then I took it off and added even more butter (guesstimation!) and just stopped when it felt right.
It's pretty cool being able to save lemon curd based on feel.
I added the lemon curd using the "cone method", which is basically cutting a top out of a cupcake with the knife angled inwards as to create a "cone" shape, lifting the top out, putting your filling in, then top it again with the cake piece.
For the buttercream, I made my favourite type of buttercream, French buttercream! Click here for the recipe. It's definitely more labour intensive than a regular buttercream but it's so worth the extra effort. It's light, fluffy, rich and yet not disgustingly sweet. It's my kind of buttercream where it really feels like buttery goodness and not just a cavity-inducing load of sugar. I especially hate grainy buttercreams that a lot of cupcake stores top their cupcakes with. HATE!
It starts with making syrup but watching the temperature very closely that it doesn't go over 118˚C. It has to hit 118˚C but it can't go over that or you run a risk of having to start all over again so I was standing over the stove like a hawk with my insta-read thermometer (my baby!) and I took it off the heat the moment the thermometer registered 118˚C.
My incorporation of basil into the buttercream began with the syrup. I chopped up a handful of basil leaves and put them in the syrup to let it infuse into the syrup while it cooked. To be honest, I didn't find that the basil was too well infused into the buttercream so I think in the future, I may actually pack the chopped basil leaves with the sugar in a vacuumed bag for a few days to let it fully perfume the sugar before boiling it with another handful of basil leaves. But that's what all this fun experimentation is for, right? Discovery and rectification of methods to get the best possible results.
It's still great this time around but much too subtle that you couldn't really tell immediately it was basil you were tasting. Also because the lemon curd was really amazing so it kinda stole the show away from the basil buttercream. Maybe there's a way to infuse basil in my cupcake?
But the greatest thing about these cupcakes?
When sliced in half, the curd actually formed a heart within the cake due to the "cone method" of filling. Isn't that just precious? Love curd filling, aww!
To quote Sheena, who has been on the receiving end of many cupcakes from me, this may quite possibly be one of the best, if not the best, cupcake I ever made.
I have to say, I agree. I really adored this and it was, as always, so fun to conceptualise and then watch it materialise.
10 Comments on "Basil My Heart"
These cupcakes look so good, and the buttercream so luscious. Lemon and basil is so so clever :)
Can you tell me where you bought the thermometer from?
They look amazing! I totally agree with you about grainy buttercream hate, hehe.
I haven't tried French or Italian buttercream yet, but I will! I really like German buttercream, which is creme patissiere with cubes of butter slowly whipped in – it's smooth and creamy and YUM!
xox Sarah
You're so adventurous with your cooking, and I think that's awesome :)
I love curd filled cupcakes. It's a lovely surprise when you bite into it. The basil butter cream looks great, definitely something different.
um YUM! hehe. These look amazing. The lemon curd filling makes them even more special. So creative :)

More Late Night Non-Spontaneity
I have spoken often about the lack of spontaneity on late night TV talk shows. The hosts and guests don't even seem interested in pretending that they're unaware of what's about to happen. Much of this is driven by the fear of saying the wrong thing or not being able to ad-lib in the moment, plus managers and publicists who insist the show not spring anything unexpected on their clients.
While this is true of all the hosts (Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers, and Corden), Jimmy Fallon continues to be the worst offender. Here's yet another example from last night, when "Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco was in the guest chair. Fallon acted as if, on a whim, he decided to "open it up for the audience to ask something," which led to a couple of lame questions and answers. Then, for the third one...
Cuoco must have known the question was coming, because she's obviously reading those lyrics off cue cards while looking at the camera, rather than at Fallon or the audience member who requested the song. Plus, The Roots jumped in as musical accompaniment immediately -- because they knew it was coming, too, and had enough lead time to rehearse it.
Is anyone fooled by this non-spontaneity?

Couple flees with lobola
- 21/08/2017 08:01:00

The Harare man went on to pay lobola amounting to $3 000 after a year of dating while the supposed brother, who was in fact the husband, presided over the marriage process.
The couple who fled with the lobola and other benefits accrued from their sham activities appeared before Harare magistrate Victoria Mashamba facing charges of fraud.
Brain Nhkhatazo Mathe, 30, and Lydia Mathe, 22, were denied bail when they appeared before Harare magistrate Mashamba facing charges of fraud.
It is the State's case that sometime in February 2016 the Mbare pair hatched a plan to steal from the complainant, Nyakanyaka Msipani of Kuwadzana.
The wife, using the alias Stephenie Pullen, is said to have opened a Facebook account which she used to lure the complainant to fall in love with her.
"The accused person later met with the complainant. Accused number two (Pullen) then introduced accused number one (Mathe) as her brother," said prosecutor Audrey Chogumai.
"The complainant was told by the accused that their parents had passed on some years back and only her brother who is accused number one could stand in the position of the in-laws."
The complainant is said to have then proceeded to pay lobola amounting to $3 000 to the said brother through a bank transfer in March 2017 with Mathe presiding over the marriage process.
Mathe promised to escort his wife to her new husband after a week, the court heard.
"After two weeks of waiting the complainant's wife did not show up and instead he received a phone call advising him that his wife had fallen ill and was in urgent need of medical attention," Chogumai said.
The court further heard that the complainant subsequently sent his ATM card with his pin number with his instructions to withdraw $100 only but the accused went to withdraw $589.
It is further alleged that the accused were said to have then requested for groceries from the complainant who obliged but was to regret it as the accused "disappeared" with the complainant's ATM card which had a balance of $440.
"The accused person then switched off their cellphones which they had used to communicate with the complainant," Chogumai said.
"The complainant later came across Mathe in Harare central business district and he ran away from him and that is when he realised that he had been defrauded ..."
He later made a police report leading to the duo's arrest.

Some of the Benefits That Are Associated with Selling Your Home with the Real Estate Investors.
In the modern world many people prefer to sell homes through investors as it is easier and fats compared to use of brokers. You need to know that whenever you are selling your home, there is need to ensure that you can use a method that is friendlier compared to the wrong procedures used by the realtors.
In case you are looking forward to getting quick cash, it is the high time that you choose to sell your home with a real estate investor who will offer you cash with fast offers and fast close of business. You just need to ensure that you have the right contacts of the investing house. You will not have to wait around as you will be promised a fast offer unlike the use of the realtors who will need to be considered to take more than a year for the deal to close.
In case you are worried about foreclosure by the lenders, it is the high time that you sell your home to the right investors, and this will be worth the time that you invested. The procedure is normally used by many homeowners who are trying to get the ends meet especially in difficult situations in life, there are many urgent needs that may be affecting and it is always important that you ensure that you consider the welfare of your family.
Unless you have a fake investor that is when you would be expecting to get a check. For every check needed with the agents, you would also be expected to remove some expenses for them as well. You do not need to mind about the money need when you have landed with an investor who has been in this field for many years. Most agents usually do not have cash for paying the sellers, and if you need cash within a short period, you might not make it to your deadline.
As you all know, you will not need to wait all the time for the finances to go through because most checks take so much time before they much before they mature. You need to be sure that no matter what, you are going to end up with the best result and no one is going to give up on you while your hopes are so high.
You do not need the check for commissions because investors do not need any money coming from you. In fact, these are the most considerate buyers you will ever find. This is because for all the facilities you will ever receive, you will never be asked for charges.

Piek keeps home hopes alive
via Badzine | 9 oktober 2015, 09:12 uur | 522 views | 4 minuten lezen
Selena Piek is in the running for one title defense and one other title when she advanced to the quarter-finals in two disciplines at the 2015 Dutch Open.
The 2015 Dutch Open headed into the quarter-final stage with a lot fewer surprises in men's singles and more in the other disciplines. In fact, all five remaining men's seeds won their matches and the rest of the final eight was made up by Malaysia's three unseeded underdogs, Soo Teck Zhi, Goh Soon Huat, and Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin. The heavy favourites are India's two remaining shuttlers and defending champion Ajay Jayaram in particular.
Apart from Jayaram, the defending champions are limited to women's doubles top seeds Eefje Muskens / Selena Piek. They won their first match in just 23 minutes. The women's doubles field still has two German pairs but Birgit Michels / Isabel Herttrich are not among them as they went down in three games to England's Olver/Smith, who won the maximum-length first game 30-29.
The Dutch duo seems to be on a collision course with the 2nd-seeded Stoeva sisters, who are coming directly from winning their own home event. However, the Bulgarians may find standing in their way one of Indonesia's newest pairs as Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth / Aprilsasi Putri Lejarsar Variella also made it through to the final eight.
Selena Piek is also still in it in mixed doubles. She and Jacco Arends beat France's Gaetan Mittelheisser / Audrey Fontaine and must now take on Canada's Toby Ng and Alex Bruce. Ng enjoyed a birthday win on Thursday as he and Bruce prevailed over Sweden's Nordh/Fabbeke.
The mixed field remains very strong, however. The quarter-finals would still be on seed if not for the early upset but a pair of past champions. 2005 winners Robert Mateusiak / Nadia Zieba, who beat Thailand's Bodin Issara / Savitree Amitrapai are actually among 2.5 returning champions. Also in the quarter-finals are 2013 champions Chrisnanta/Neo of Singapore and 2009 champion Robert Blair (pictured), who is playing with Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth for the first time. The Polish pair is also just one of two remaining world #1s as Sudket Prapakamol / Saralee Thoungthongkam are also in the quarters.
The women's singles continues to get interesting. One highlight of the day on Thursday came when Chloe Magee of Ireland won the longest match of the day against India's P. C. Thulasi. She missed out on one match point in the second game and finally emerged the winner after 79 minutes.
The men's doubles has a void at the top of the draw, created when the #1 seeds withdrew before the tournament. The duel for who will fill it for the semi-final stage is between former world #1 Koo Kien Keat / Tan Boon Heong of Malaysia and former top-12 players Bodin Issara and Nipitphon Puangpuapech of Thailand. The Malaysians leapt up ten spots in the world rankings to #31 yesterday on the back of their runner-up finish in Thailand last Sunday but they are looking for their first Grand Prix title since being reunited this past spring.

I'm going to give into my nature, here, and ask questions. (I'm usually better at this than answering them.) My question is this — What do we want art students to learn about experimentation?
Our local art curriculum is deep into a revision (to be completed this summer), and one of the K-12 threads that I am really struggling with is about experimentation.
I'm sure you can all imagine how it got there. Experimentation is something we do in art. It's part of the creative and design process. The problem is, in this revision we have made great efforts to improve our Program of Studies by clearly defining learning objectives. That may sound like the obvious thing to do, but it's often not so easy. There was a tendency in the past version of the POS to simply state what the student will do, but most students will do what the teacher tells them to do, and this is not the same thing as learning.
To avoid this trap, we had to repeat a mantra:
With this much background, do you see the problem doing this with experimentation? Stating a specific learning outcome is challenging when students are learning about something that, by its nature, does not have an expected outcome. We can avoid this stumbling block if we avoid trying to state anything about the outcomes of the experiments, and as it points out above, we need to avoid simply stating what types of experiments they will DO. We want to say what they will learn.
So… What do we want students to learn about experimentation? What should they know? What should they be able to do as a result of the instruction?

Watch What You Say at Harvard
Caving in to criticism, Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers has agreed to go. He was jumped on in academia for briefly suggesting that maybe gender differences play a role in why men outnumber women in science. (Hey, maybe that's a plus -- women tend to dislike being obsessive geeks?) But faculty members insist their lack of confidence was based on other factors, too, like Summers being too bossy. That led to this funny exchange between a CBS reporter and a student:
"Do you have to be nice to be the president of Harvard?"
"I don't know what nice means, but you have to be congenial."
"Isn't congenial just a fancy word for nice?"
"Sure, heh-heh, but I confer congenial."
"That's because you go to Harvard."

Once or twice a year I have to stop and look at myself. Not in a mirror so much as looking over my daily life, habits, routines, thoughts, emotions, etc.. We tend to get caught up in things, get too close and not realize that we aren't going about things in the easier, less stressful, or correct way.
What the heck am I talking about?!
- Diet – Diet is a word easily misunderstood. Your diet isn't a short-term thing you do just to lose a few pounds or have a good A1c "this time". Your diet is the way you eat all the time. My current diet is shit. It's terrible and I know it and I keep telling myself to go back to the way I know works for me, LCHF. But my current living arrangements make it difficult.
A. The other people who live in my home constantly buy high carb foods free to the entire household. Since I'm home all the time (for many reasons) and the bad foods are here, I can not and do not resist them. I ask the other people to not bring these things into the home (or to keep them out of my sight at least), but, really, I can't expect others to live the way I need to. Wait! I can! They are type 2 diabetics! They should be eating just like me (a type 1)! We should be working together to be healthy. But, alas, life doesn't always go as it should.
B. I know it is my own responsibility to eat the way I need to. And I do try, but in this part of life I suck at being strong. I eat carbs when I'm stressed, and in this living arrangement I am very stressed all the time. I eat carbs out of bad emotions, anger, frustration, sadness, etc.. The other people in the house do the same thing, so currently the refrigerator and pantry are packed with ice cream, pudding, pasta, etc.; it's bad. This makes for a difficult time resisting.
C. We eat out too often. And I'm not the type to want a salad when there are fries and burgers available, and at a much lower price. We just need to stop with the fast food. I love to cook, and when I cook/prepare it is healthy and delicious. So why do we eat out so much?!
D. I don't just eat bad, I also skip meals a lot. If it's just me at home and I have no one else to cook/prepare for, I'm apt to just not eat at all. I often go almost an entire day without eating at all. This is just as bad as eating the wrong things.
2. Activity – I enjoy staying active; I love to clean my house, I enjoy spending a day on the town running errands or just running around from shop to shop for fun. But for some reason I've never been able to stick to a workout routine, not even the ones I really enjoyed. I suppose it's because a workout really works you, pushes you to your limits and even hurts! So even though I enjoy it and it's lasting benefits, it can be difficult to want to keep doing it.
And despite hard and continuous work, I still can't lose not even one pound! I have many theories as to what is keeping the weight on (hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, age, muscle building, diet), but it all comes down to the fact that if you don't see results you just don't want to keep trying. I'm not dumb, I know how diet and exercise work, I know how to lose weight, I just can't! And it is frustrating!
3. Medical stuff – Hohum, I've been burnt out for a long time. I stopped going to all my doctors, even my endocrinologist. I check my BG only when I feel high or low. Terrible, I know. I have so many medical issues I just can't deal all the time. It gets so overwhelming, depressing, frustrating! There's never a break; it's not like these diseases are just going to say "OK, I'll go away for a while so you can take a breather.". Hell no! Even when I decide to conveniently forget that I'm chronically ill with a million issues, they're still there nagging at me, demanding my attention, scratching at my nerves.
How else can I make you understand what it is like?
But, the past couple of days I've been on top of my BG checking. And I'm thinking of scheduling a couple doctor appointments. And I'm trying hard to eat right. I know I need to get back on track, I'm trying.
4. Mental/Emotional Stuff – I quit taking Cymbalta. It was helping at first, but the past 6 to 8 months I started having issues with it. I wasn't feeling anything, both my physical and emotional feelings were greatly dulled. I felt like an alien in my own body. Disturbing to say the least. So I quit it. I feel so much better all around now, even though my natural feelings are difficult to deal with sometimes, I am so very happy to be myself again.
As I mentioned earlier, I live in some difficult arrangements at the moment. Not only is the house a hellhole, but one specific person we live with is almost my complete opposite and leaves me in a constant state of frustration, disgust, discomfort, and anxiety. I NEED cleanliness, sanitation, and organization in my home in order to be comfortable and happy. This other person is dirty, has no idea what sanitation is, has zero concept of organization, and is profoundly lazy and uncaring about any of these things.
So, not only do I have to live with this person, but I also have to do a ton more cleaning of dirtiness I and my hubby didn't even create because fighting, arguing, begging, reasoning, have all proven to be useless on this person.
I live in a home where I am unable to be comfortable, happy, or even sane!
*Deep Breath*
In the end, I obviously have a lot to work on, but what's new? This is all just a constant in my life and I will continue on. The only thing that has changed is that I have learned from it all and will use this new knowledge to make myself a better, healthier person.
I will keep trying.

For years, I have employed a simple, low risk investment technique called "Covered Calls" that earns an above-average returns. I will try to explain it in a short article but I will strongly recommend more study on the subject before employing this.
I am writing this article with the following parameters in mind for investors who might be interested in doing this on their own:
1.Own or plan to own a self directed portfolio of stocks.
2.Hold or plan to hold a conservative, income-earning portfolio of solid companies.
3.Have a basic knowledge of buying and selling stocks and options.
While the basic technique is fairly simple, there are many advanced techniques which can be utilized to increase income returns but are not only more complex, also have an associated increase of risk. What I will present in this blog article is the basic technique which practically everyone can utilize and increase returns on a dividend-paying stock from 2-3%/year to 10-15% annually with no added downside risk at all.
In this article, I will use the example of holding one stock, Exxon Mobil, the world's largest oil company. It's a nice big stable company that is a sound holding in any conservative portfolio, We will pretend we own 1000 shares, which is worth about $100,000 so it's easy to adjust the numbers to suit your portfolio, ie for $10,000, just divide by 10 or for $200,000, just multiply by 2 and so on.
Ok, so you hold Exxon, which pays a 2.7% annual dividend. As a result, you will have an income of $2700/year or $225/month from your investment in that company. We will now show you how to increase that monthly income substantially with no added risk. (I don't know the answer yet as I will work it through with you as I write this article).
First of all, what is a Covered Call? Basically, there are people out there who will offer to pay you money for the option to buy your 1000 shares of Exxon. They will do that weekly, monthly, or even 'way off in the future. For this article, we will focus on the offers to pay you for the option to buy your 1000 shares one month from now.
As of Friday, August 23rd, 2014, speculative option traders will pay you, in cash, at least $1.02 per share for the right to buy your stock at a price of $99.00. The price is currently $98.50. So you decide you will take their offer and you sell 10 "call option" contracts, each contract giving the speculator the right but not the obligation to buy 100 of your shares of Exxon at $99 each. So you decide to do it and here is what happens:
You sell call options for 1000 shares at $1.02/share = $1020.00 cash in your account. No questions asked. So what happens next? There are two scenarios:
- Exxon stock price stays lower than $99 between now and September 20th and the contract expires, allowing you to sell another contract for around $1000 next month, and every month after that.
- Exxon price rises above $99 and the option speculator buys your stock for $99. So, you still keep your $1020, plus you earned another $.50/share because the price rose from $98.50 to $99 so you make another $500. At that point, you can buy the Exxon stock again and sell another covered call, or you can find another stock to buy and sell a call on.
So here is how the returns shape up. If you earn an additional $1020/month on Exxon by selling covered calls, then your return of $225/month for dividends now rises to $1245/month. On a stock you were earning 2.7%/year on, you are now earning 15.2% on!
What's the catch? There is none except that in order to do this, you should get more informed on this technique by reading as many articles as possible, perhaps a book or two from Amazon. There is plenty of information out there on this and there are some details that you should know to make sound decisions. For instance, some covered call on stocks will give you very tempting returns of 4%/month, but they do so because they are volatile stocks and your stock price could plummet on you overnight, making your 4% profit look pretty small beside a drop of 20% in the stock price. By sticking with known, solid companies though, you can enhance your dividend income significantly without being a genius stock guru.

I'd love to be a history blogger, or even just an infrastructure blogger I'm endlessly interested in the story of the things around me, why are buildings, roads and walls in the places they are? When I first moved to Nottingham I often cycled along the Nottingham-Beeston Canal and wondered why it didn't really go anywhere joining back into a river that was navigable more or less along the entire length of the canal part of it. I simply assumed it was to get goods nearer to the populated part of Nottingham. I was wrong.
About halfway along after Sainsbury's and just past Trevithick's boat yard, the canal you may know today joined the old Nottingham canal. The Nottingham canal built in 1796 and goes to Langley Mill, joining with the Cromford canal and taking coal from Nottingham's many mines to Derbyshire's mills. It was properly filled in in 1977. The canal starts where today you can see an Environment Agency caisson wall and some dredging gear. This is where the course of the River Leen ducks under the canal and goes on towards the Trent. The River Leen deserves it's own blog post and is as important to the geography and history of Nottingham as the Trent is, probably more so. One day I hope to be able to pull some loose ideas about the Leen together and say something meaningful about it.
The River Leen was diverted and used to run along the cut through between Lenton Lane and Abbey Bridge (Grove Road), the railway bridge that spanned it is now a bridge over a cycle track. The wetness of the ground around this area was evident by the puddles and pumps around the NET Tram Phase 2 works in the area. More evidence of the areas canal history can be found on the old Shipstones "The Boat Inn" on Priory Street. I headed along to the canal bridge next to the Johnson Arms on Abbey Street. You can see the course of the River Leen today which is little more than a drain at this point. This is the route of the old canal. The bridge here is clearly high enough for boats to go under and there is a tow path clearly visible too. The first proper evidence of the canal having existed.
The River Leen follows the eastern edge of the University hospital and Queens Medical Centre QMC as far as Derby Road where the River Leen emerges out of drain and off along it's original course. The canal went through a tunnel like bridge here that you can still see clearly on Derby Road. It's been bricked up and the canal itself filled in. There is an interesting iron door here and it'd be interesting to see what is inside as I suspect that this tunnel runs across to the other side of Derby Road.
Just outside Lenton Lodge, a 17th Century gatehouse for Wollaton Hall, you can find neglected railings that ran along beside the road keeping the public away from the canal's Wollaton lock. This is now a car park and I was able to take a photo showing how little things had changed since 1925. Sadly a better picture from 1930 has all sorts of silly restrictions on it, but you can see it here. Gill who was with me pointed out the bow arch peeping out of the tarmac where the canal used to be.
Poking about a bit in the university park woods behind what looked like a bricked up grand Lenton Lodge public toilet I surprised to find a WWII Pillbox or similar structure though a search of the Defense of Britain database has drawn a blank. Behind this a big pile of dressed stones, which I'd like to think is part of the removed canal, but that's probably a bit fanciful. There is a water pump in a small enclosure too! Lots of hidden interest here if you take only a little time to look.
I'll continue my exploration along the canal soon. Next it skirts the edge of the Wollaton estate and past the old tobacco bonded warehouses which now form the corner of University land.

Nicky Abbondanza is at the center of this murder mystery. Set on the Treemeadow college campus that focuses on the theater arts, there are plenty of characters that are literally trained in the arts of deceit, deflection, deception, and out right artful lies. It's going to be tough to figure out who is racking up the bodies. And then there is Noah Oliver, an assistant professor who is up for tenure. every time Nicky sees Noah, his heart does a little flip.
As you can tell by the name of the series (A Nicky & Noah Mystery) these two eventually team up. First, we have to go through all the cutsy stuff of them figuring out that they like each other. That was pretty sweet. Once their romance is off and running, it moves really quickly. In fact, that is probably one of the things that I found a bit silly about the plot. I think they went from friend/colleagues to lovers to moving in together in less than a week. Such a fast romance wasn't really necessary for the plot.
The murder mystery itself was fun. There are plenty of suspects and plenty of bodies. So of course we have to wonder if we have one killer or multiple killers. The suspects have good motivations too for wanting some or all of the victims dead. I was guessing until the end. The final culprit(s) was a total surprise and I felt it came out of left field a bit. It left me a little unsatisfied.
Humor and wit twine together in this twisty murder mystery. Some of the humor was punny and a little predictable. I did laugh a few times. There were plenty of jokes about people being in the closet and being rather frustrated, angry folks because of it. The first time or two, it fit the plot and was worth a chuckle. Then some of the jokes kept being repeated throughout the story. This was one of those books I had to be in the mood for so I listened to it in chunks. This book definitely lives up to it's name with plenty of characters having dramas big and little.
Now for the sex scenes. They are steamy and hot, sometimes lengthy and sometimes brief. Sometimes we get plenty of detail (including measurements of people's personal equipment), and sometimes it was some kissing and then the curtain closed so we don't get to see what they did next. It worked with the story and gave a little break from the action (of the murder mystery).
I really, really liked that we have such a representation of the LGBTQ community. In some cases (especially for the minor characters) that was their defining character. But for the main characters, their sexual preferences was secondary to their person (job, likes, believes,etc.).
Overall, I enjoyed this flawed tale. It was fun and unlike any other murder mystery I have listened to. The uniqueness definitely grabbed me up front. While the dramatic humor weared on me here and there, I was hooked by the plot and really wanted to know who did the deed. While the ending left me feeling luke warm on the plot's resolution, I still wouldn't hesitate to pick up another Cosentino book to see what he comes up with next.
I received a copy of this book from the author at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
The Narration: Michael Gilboe did a very good job on this book. It had a pretty large cast for a fairly short novel. His male voices were distinct and varied enough to keep everyone straight. He managed the same for the ladies with the added bonus of having believable female voices. He also pulled off the exaggerated gay accent when needed.

In the old days of the Net, there were no SEO Professionals, automated systems, or all that high modern technology things. Those were the days of IBM (or "It's Best done Manually) and Organic Search Engine Optimization.

• Search phrase Research study
This is the first step on the listing of to-dos for an Organic Search Engine Optimization professional since it plays a significant duty in establishing your optimization approach. Because it takes months for any optimization approach to take effect, an Organic Search Engine Optimization professional's efforts will be thrown away if he makes the blunder of enhancing a site based on keywords that are not as preferred as he presumed.
Coming to be an Organic SEO professional is not a very easy job at all because it requires a deep understanding of the principles that those using automated systems consider approved.

Indian coastal surveillance and IAI-Elta
The Indian Navy has acquired two airborne radars developed by Israeli IAI's Elta Systems Group to fill vital gaps in the country's coastal security system. This acquisition has facilitated surveillance through balloon-mounted air defence radars with detection range of over 500 km, including tracking of low-flying aircraft.
The Indian Navy has acquired from Israel two EL/M-2083 Aerostat air-search radars, which are already in service with the Indian Air Force. While the acquisition was on Indian Navy's shopping list for a long time, it was accelerated by the government after the Mumbai 26/11 terrorist attack.
The new radars, mounted on a hot-air balloon secured to the ground have improved the Indian Navy's ability to detect enemy aircraft by providing 3D coverage over a radius of 500 km. The biggest advantage of Aerostat radar is that it is not fixed and can be moved to any location on the basis of prevailing threat scenario. It is designed to provide flexibility in operational deployment, thus adding new dimension to the coastal surveillance.
Another system of this kind is the Tethered Aerostat Radar System. It is an early warning and control phased array radar designed to detect approaching hostile aircraft from long ranges, especially at the low altitudes. Data gathered by the radar is transmitted to a central air defence command and control centre where it is used to maintain an extended comprehensive air situation picture. Once a potential threat is detected the on-board system alerts responders in a timely manner. It is based on the EL/M-2080.
