I have good news. A new Aaron Gibson video is here.
Aaron sent me this last night. He's busy working on his new album too, which is more great news.
"'Not Good Enough' will be one of the tunes on the new album (Which I will get around to recording soonish)", Aaron shared. "My son Barrett (11) did some of the cinematography for this and all of the kids helped with other bits."
I can't wait for the album. Terrific, as usual.

Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ezreal, The Prodigal Explorer
This is a semi-hybrid Ezreal build which has proven to work very well for anyone that I've advised to use.
You're job is a mixed one as Ezreal. You'll be able to solo mid, gank, chase, push, farm, harass, quickly kill turrets, and most importantly, easily steal Baron kill. In order to do much of this though you're going to need to have a successful early-mid game.
1. You are very versatile.
2. Skill shots have a larger range than most targeted abilities allowing you to effectively harass without being harassed.
3. Because of Mysic Shot, and Nashor's Tooth, you have a highly damaging, low mana cost, spam-able skill shot.
4. You can escape some sticky situations with easy using Arcane Shift.
Ex. Being able to port out of Amumu's ultimate, porting away from characters with snares, Ryze, Morgana, etc., to escape their wrath.
5. Your ultimate can make people "Nerd Rage" in more than one way.
a. You can kill fleeing, low health enemies.
b. You can kill enemies teleporting to base...by shooting at their spawn.
c. You can steal Baron kill giving your team a huge advantage.
1. You are squishy early/mid game.
2. If spamming abilities, you will eat through your mana in a very timely fashion.
3. Skill shots are just that, abilities that require skill to use effectively.
Core-Item Build:
Okay, this item build was concocted knowing a few things. 1. Ezreal tends to have mana problems early game especially when trying to harass. 2. Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Same can be said with AP and AD for Ezreal, so who said you had to chose just one? 3. Because Ezreal has the definite ability to kill and escape a snowballing item only makes sense.
Breakdown: Grabbing a Meki Pendant along with 1 of each potion will give you quite a bit of staying/harassing power no matter if you take mid or not, though you should always try to get mid, but as always there are some champions better suited to it.
Try to stay in your lane until you have minimum 1,719 gold. This a lots you just enough money to get Boots +1 and Sword of the Occult. You can stay until you have between 2289 - 2569 gold. This lets you get Either Berserker's Greaves or Mercury Treads. NOTE: Choosing which shoes you get is vital. You have to ask yourself, is their team is mostly made up of melee champions and/or champions without stuns/slows/snares/etc.? If yes definitely go for Berserker's Greaves. Also ask yourself, am I good with Ezreal? Can I hold my own and make effective use of Arcane Shift to save my skin? If yes, also go for Berserker's Greaves. If you answer no to both then you should get Mercury Treads without question.
Next comes turning your Meki Pendant into Nashor's Tooth. This item gives you mana regen, nice. Attack speed, nice. Ability power, okay. And a whopping 25% cooldown reduction, Awesome. (With masteries, runes, and this item you have a 36.1% CD reduction)
At this point in the game you are likely to be ganking, getting ganked, chasing, etc. So that is why Phage is next and it fills such a nice roll. Giving you survivability which is desperately needed, and with your attack speed, it gives a rather reliable slow, great for chasing down fleeing champions and as a bonus you get some attack damage. Best part? Mystic shot, with it's ridiculous range, applies on hit effects, meaning you can slow your victim with one of your abilities.
After Phage you get B.F. Sword x2. Why don't you turn them into anything yet? Because they are the most cost effective items for raw AD. These buff up your Mysic Shot and auto attack considerably. If the game lasts this long you need them for team fights and tearing through towers/inhibitors/anything that gets in your way.
If you make it this far you can upgrade your B.F. Swords. Generally Bloodthirsters are the best way to go for the best damage/lifesteal out there, but if there is an enemy tank that just won't die a Black Cleaver is always good.
Finally turn Phage into a Frozen Mallet for no other reason than there isn't anything else to upgrade in your inventory.
If you're at this point and the game is still not over, buy all the elixirs as Ezreal will benefit from them all and they activate upon purchase now.
Summoner Spells:
Flash - Combined with Arcane Shift this allows you to literally appear out of no where as well as giving you an escape option
Teleport - With nearly every character in 5v5's is seems teleport is a requirement because of the shear size of the map.
Cleanse - Being a squishy carry stuns, slows, snares and other forms of CC are your natural bane because they pretty much seal your fate and you'll be spending some time looking at a gray screen. Cleanse can cure this problem.
Exhaust - It's good and can be devastating especially since you lack a early game form of CC. But alas, it can easily be cleansed which lowers it's effectiveness to near zero.
Ignite - It's good as always, can increase damage output and net you a last hit from a low health fleeing champion.
Ghost - Having another escape can be good. Popping Arcane Shift and ghost away before anyone can catch you is a sound escape skill.
Clairvoyance - Nice for checking Baron and MIA's but other than that is has few uses.
Clarity - If you don't have Mana per 5 runes, or you don't get Meki Pendant first, you'll want this for the increased mana.
No not Touch:
Rising Spell Force (Passive) - This ability is great and scales well with AD. With max stacks it gives 75% attack speed, refreshed every time one of your abilities hit. This makes it easy to demolish towers or tear through minion buildups.
Mystic Shot - Your bread and butter skill. Even with the nerfs bringing the attack scaling down to 100% of ability power this skill is still incredible. Dealing physical damage, and hitting for upwards of 500-600 damage end game. The kicker is that this spell proc's on hit effects.
Essence Flux - This abilty does very good damage without any help which is why you pick up two levels in it early, use this to harass champions smart enough to stay behind units at all times. Because of it's stand alone damage this can be done quite easily.
Arcane Shift - This is your escape/repositioning skill. It's very useful for escaping, blinking through walls, the forest, etc. But it is also very handy in repositioning yourself to better hit an enemy champion. Always fun to use this, and wreck them with your other ability then "/all Where are your minions now!?"
Trueshot Barrage - Great skill. It has a relatively low cooldown, reduced even more when you are hitting units with Mystic shot. One of it's major uses is to max out your passive's stacks with one ability making sure you go into a fight with as high of attack speed as you can get.
How to Play:
Early Game: Grab your Meki Pendant and potions and get to your lane. You should always try to get mid unless you have a character with a global skill that they can utilize relatively quickly. Karthus and Twisted Fate are two examples of this. After minions spawn you stay away from the attack minions, only moving up to get in a last hit. You don't want to push early because you're just setting yourself up to get ganked. But you definitely want to be taking every opportunity to hit your lane competition with a Mystic Shot, Essence Flux and auto attacks. If you're laning against a character with a teleport like yours, Katarina w/ Shunpo for example, harassing is going to be a but harder but still possible. If you can get them to about 1/3 of their health by level 5 or 6 you can attempt to Arcane Shift + Mystic Shot + Essence Flux to kill them. By this time you should have your gold to get boots and Sword of the Occult.
Mid Game: You should be running around the map ganking enemy champions and helping lanes push towers. Please remember, you are not an initiator, and are squishy. If you are going to gank have faith that you can kill them quickly otherwise the tides can be quickly turned on you.
Late Game: Don't initiate team fights, when killing towers you can use your ultimate to boost your attack speed greatly to help destroy them that much faster. Try to target squishies first in team fights by flashing/blinking around the other characters.
Any comments are appreciated.

TRENTON—A report from the Division of Consumer Affairs released today recommends new regulations to curtail the potential for conflicts of interest between doctors and pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers.
The recommendations address the impact of potential conflicts on patient care, and set forth new policies to be considered by the Board of Medical Examiners, the Board of Pharmacy, the Department of Health and Senior Services and academic medical centers.
Serving as a complement to voluntary industry codes, proposed regulations would ban doctors from accepting any gifts or fees or travel expense reimbursement from any pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers. In addition, the proposed reforms bar physicians from accepting free food and meals in office settings or at promotional dinners.
Recommended regulations would also require doctors who do serve as consultants to pharmaceutical companies or medical device manufacturers to publicly disclose every two years the acceptance of more than $200 in consulting fees, or honoria, or funding for research or education.
"The proposed regulations accompanying the report on physician compensation are designed to ensure that patient care is guided by the unbiased exercise of doctors' best judgments," Attorney General Milgram said, in endorsing the report's recommendations.
"It is critical to minimize the potential for conflicts and it is critical that patients are made aware of any financial relationship between a physician and a pharmaceutical company or medical device manufacturer. Such relationships could bias medical decision-making."
The report recommends tight controls on what is known in the pharmaceutical industry as "data mining," or tracking physician prescription information. All physicians would have to be notified when renewing their licenses that they can opt out of having information about their prescriptions sold by pharmacists to healthcare information organizations, which collect information on prescriptions for pharmaceutical company marketing.
In addition, the report recommends that the Board of Pharmacy amend its regulations to require pharmacies to maintain documentation that doctors have consented to the sale of their prescribing information. The report also recommends legislation to restrict the use and sale of prescriber information for commercial purposes.
The report – policy recommendations from the Division of Consumer Affairs—was presented to the Attorney General by David Szuchman, the director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. Szuchman and the division's staff met with physicians, pharmacists, hospital executives, and pharmaceutical industry and insurance company representatives in compiling the report.
Several states, including Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota and West Virginia, have imposed disclosure obligations on the pharmaceutical industry. The New Jersey report recommends adopting specific requirements directed at the state's 33,000 doctors who are licensed by the state Board of Medical Examiners.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) have adopted voluntary codes of ethics that prohibit member companies from providing entertainment, vacations or meals to physicians, unless the meals are modest and at a medical office or in a clinical setting.
The proposed New Jersey regulations would go beyond the industry codes, banning all food except at accredited continuing medical education events where physicians must pay the fair market value of modest meals provided.
Proposed Board of Medical Examiners' regulations would expressly forbid a licensee from accepting any payment or subsidy to support attendance at an accredited continuing medical education program. These regulations would prohibit fees or travel expense reimbursement for attending company-sponsored meetings unless a doctor appears as a paid consultant or as a teacher at the meeting.
Any items for personal use, like CDs, DVDs, entertainment and sporting events tickets, would be forbidden. The regulations would allow doctors to accept items that could directly benefit patients, such as prescription samples or anatomical models used in doctors' offices.
With regard to meals, the report recommends that the Board of Medical Examiners adopt regulations to prohibit physicians and their in-office staff from accepting free meals from manufacturers both in-office and at restaurants. Doctors attending unaccredited promotional educational sessions sponsored by pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers should pay for their own meals.
Physicians can serve as consultants and participate in the research and development of new treatments and therapies, and enter into financial contracts with drug and medical device manufacturers. But those financial relationships should be fully disclosed by the physicians every two years when licenses are renewed.
The report also recommends that the Board of Medical Examiners create a searchable database to make physician-disclosed information available to the public. The report further recommends that the Legislature pass legislation requiring manufacturers to disclose payments to physicians.
In the area of continuing medical examination, the report recommends that CME credit is only received by doctors for courses that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and specifically bar the CME provider from obtaining advice from a company that subsidizes the course, creating a separation between educational content and the source of the subsidy.
The report also makes recommendations concerning physicians-in-training, physician accountability, academic detailing and potential conflicts in health care facilities. The Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Pharmacy are being asked to review the report and initiate a rule-making process.
Any regulations the Boards decide to propose would then be published in the New Jersey Register, allowing a full opportunity for anyone interested to comment. Any finalized regulation would await consideration of those comments, a process that would be likely to take at least six months.

Magnesium is often called "The Muscle Mineral". Aside from being involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions and playing an essential role in the production of energy within the cells, studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can enhance strength and raise the levels of various anabolic hormones like testosterone and IGF-1.
A team of American scientists recently decided to investigate the link between magnesium and inflammation, and collated a large amount of past research that looked at the relationship between magnesium levels and levels of a substance in the blood called C-Reactive Protein (CRP), which is a marker of acute inflammation.
After crunching the numbers, they found that in the general population, normal, healthy people with low magnesium levels generally had high levels of CRP and vice versa. In addition to this, when the group looked into magnesium supplementation, they found that administering magnesium causes CRP levels to drop. This important finding showed that magnesium and CRP levels are not merely correlated, but that increasing the level of magnesium will actively reduce inflammation.
Inflammation is the enemy of the athlete. It changes the metabolic environment, which can enhance muscle breakdown, and overtraining, or training before the muscles have fully recovered, is a common reason for a lack of progress in the gym. This is why recovery supplements, commonly containing ingredients like protein powder, BCAAs and glutamine, are so popular.
This new evidence that magnesium is a powerful weapon in the recovery arsenal is great news for anyone looking for a cheap, safe and effective way to maximise performance.

MONTVERDE — For Montverde point guard Kasey Hill, the problems began at a young age.
His father is in prison and his mother was not always around. He has been raised by the family of his best friend.
MONTVERDE — For Montverde point guard Kasey Hill, the problems began at a young age.
His father is in prison and his mother was not always around. He has been raised by the family of his best friend.
"It was rough, but there are a lot of people in the world who have it rougher," said Hill, an 18-year-old junior who will lead the Eagles in the Montverde Academy Invitational Tournament beginning Thursday. "Everybody has their problems. I have come out of it stronger."
When he was in first grade, Hill met Kyle Simmons when they played on a flag-football team. He started spending Friday nights at the Simmonses' home before going to the Saturday games with them.
He and Kyle played varsity basketball at Mount Dora Bible. They both transferred to Montverde a little more than a year ago. Kyle is a starting freshman point guard at Loyola University in New Orleans. Hill, who has committed to play at Florida, continues to live with the Simmonses.
Jeff Simmons, Kyle's father, would not go into details about Hill's early life.
"The best way to say it is, he is a young man who has seen a lot of life and faced a lot of hurdles," said Simmons, who served as Hill's guardian since fifth grade. "He has persevered."
Said first-year Montverde coach Kevin Boyle: "I know his family situation wasn't perfect, but I know everyone in his family loves him and supports him. His mom and others in his family come to his games. I know Jeff Simmons has done a terrific job with him and has helped him grow as a person."
Hill has emerged as a leader for Montverde (16-3), ranked No 1 in the Sentinel Super 16 and No. 16 nationally in the ESPN Powerade Fab 50.
"Coming here has given me everything that I wanted," Hill said about transferring to Montverde. "The competition is helping me to prepare for college. It's tough academically. It was basically the best thing for me. If I was going to get any better, I had to come here."
He has a 3.0 grade-point average while taking college prep courses. He has received great exposure and faces good competition and practices with college-bound teammates every day. One of his Montverde teammates, senior guard Michael Frazier, has signed with the Gators.
Hill, who averages 14.2 points and 6.8 assists, is regarded among the nation's top juniors. ESPNU ranks him the third-best point guard in his class.
"His game has actually changed quite a bit from Mount Dora Bible, where he was expected to score," said Rick Staudt, who evaluates players for Internet sites SourceHoops.com and HoopScoop. "At Montverde, he is more a traditional point guard. He knows it, and he embraces the role of getting more players involved."
Boyle, the Naismith national high school coach of the year last year while at St. Patrick in Elizabeth, N.J., said the 6-foot-1 Hill has unlimited potential.
"He is as athletic as any guards I have had," said Boyle, who coached Kyrie Irving, last year's No. 1 overall pick in the NBA by the Cleveland Cavaliers. "He can be among the best."
Hill's struggles have prepared him for the future.
"It has helped me grow up," he said.

Donald Trump: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best."
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us.
They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people.
BREAM: The controversial comments on immigration that led Macy's and NBC to sever ties with real estate mogul turned presidential candidate Donald Trump.
It is time now for our Sunday group: Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume, syndicated columnist George Will, Jackie Kucinich of The Daily Beast, and Fox News political analyst Juan Williams.
Brit, I'll start with you. What does the GOP do with this?
BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: I don't think the GOP has to do anything with this. I think Donald Trump by his behavior and by the flamboyance of his manner, sets himself apart from the rest of the GOP field, and he has a niche following and will probably continue to.
But people don't look at him and say, ah, that's the face of the Republican Party. So, I think the GOP let's this unfold however it will. I don't think Donald Trump will go far. But he'll be with us for a while, and he'll make news and he'll get attention.
But you don't hear people saying, what is the Democratic Party going to do about Bernie Sanders and he's going to become the face of the party? He's going to ruin image of the Democrats. It just doesn't work that way.
BREAM: Yes, Democrats aren't as often asked to answer for somebody else in their party for a comment they made. We do have some reaction on both sides of this issue from other GOP contenders.
SEN. TED CRUZ, R-TEXAS: When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. I think he's terrific. I think he's brash. I think he speaks the truth. I think NBC is engaging in political correctness that is silly and that is wrong.
FORMER GOV. JEB BUSH, R-FLA.: He's doing this to inflame and to incite and to draw attention, which is — seems to be his organizing principle of his campaign, and he doesn't represent the Republican Party or its values.
BREAM: And, George, Jeb went to say, he took this personally. His wife is from Mexico.
GEORGE WILL, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Well, Brit is right that there's a double standard here. That Republicans are uniquely identified with the unfortunate people in their own party.
But ask yourself this thought experiment. If Donald Trump were a Democratic mole placed in the Republican Party to disrupt things, how would his behavior be different? I don't think it would be. There's all this talk but it's something to it about the Republican brand.
Picture him on stage in Cleveland. He says something hideously inflammatory, which is all he knows how to say, and then what do the other nine people on stage do? Do they either become complicit in what he said by their silence or do they seriatim have to attack him?
The debate gets hijacked. The process gets hijacked. And at the end of the day, he's a one-man Todd Akin. And he's Todd Akin with 10 different facets. That's the gentleman who in 2014 election said some unfortunate things about rape, and every Republican was asked about them from then on.
BREAM: And for now, Trump sits atop a lot of the polls along with Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, who, by the way, released this week more tax returns than any other presidential candidate has ever done.
Jackie, what does that do now as far as pressure on Hillary Clinton to give us similar access to what we know about her?
JACKIE KUCINICH, THE DAILY BEAST: It does create a pressure. We have some financial data from Hillary Clinton over a number of years because of her various positions in the government. But, yes, this does increase the pressure on her to release more because it — we do, we have access to all of Jeb Bush's records at this point when it comes to taxes. So, you know, we'll see if she responds.
But it also puts pressure on other Republican candidates — everybody in the race — because of this level of transparency.
BREAM: I mean, one, he's done very well financially over the last few years. Not as well as the Clintons. But he knows he's going to take heat as much as Romney did for being somebody who has done very well, has had privilege and may be out of touch.
JUAN WILLIAMS, FOX NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST: But he paid a lot more taxes than Mitt Romney because he wasn't doing it through capital gains. He was doing it through speeches and some of the speeches came through companies that he had dealings with while he was governor and helped them. So, there's some questions to be raised there.
And also, you've got to remember, you know, when you look at his earnings, he decided that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was Jeb Bush. And so, I think it raises questions about the Bush/Clinton dynasty and money and how the political class in this country enriches themselves often times at the benefit — at the cost of saying, I'm using my experience as an elected official to then go off and enrich myself. And that raises a question at a time when there's so much populist questions about income inequality in the country.
BREAM: Well, there's so much — there's so many questions about calls for transparency with these tax returns, also with Hillary's e-mails, there have been more developments on that this week.
Here's a little bit of what State Department spokesman, Admiral Kirby, had to say about some of the e-mails we're not getting from Clinton's history.
REAR ADMIRAL JOHN KIRBY, STATE DEPT. SPOKESMAN: A small number that are being withheld for executive privilege purposes. That is not uncommon. It's not atypical.
BREAM: Some of them we're not going to see also because we're told now they are confidential although, Brit, they might not have been when they were sent. But we know there's a gap. There's some that we're not seeing.
HUME: Yes, I suppose it was a fun wish, a dream, that we were going to get to see everything. Obviously, we're not. Everything that we get has already been selected by Hillary Clinton for being — not to be deleted. So, we don't know even if we got everything that was left, we wouldn't get everything.
And this is so Clintonesque, you know? It's always — you never quite get the whole truth. You never quite get full disclosure. You never quite catch them in violation of the law, but you almost never catch them being totally ethical either.
BREAM: But, George, will it affect her — in polling?
WILL: The biggest word in the English language is "if." If the people American are paying attention to the arcane of this back and forth, then it will hurt her. But, of course, they're not. They have better things to do with their time.
She altered some of the e-mails she did submit. Now, the State Department joining the IRS as complicit in another scandal, the State Department is withholding some that the Congress has sought, so the scandal just keeps growing more legs.
I think the Clintons operate, Brit, on the way the old Chicago Democratic machine did. If you have a different scandal every week, no one pays attention.
BREAM: Well, something that the Clinton campaign will — is getting a lot of questions about today, if you all saw this yesterday, a lot of candidates were out Fourth of July parades. A lot was made by members of the press who were trying to follow Hillary Clinton, and essentially at one point during the operation, there were staffers that put a rope around them.
We know rope lines do happen. This one seemed unusual because it was the middle of the parade and literally the rope appeared to be wrapped around journalists at some point who are trying to cover the former secretary.
Jackie, it may be nothing more than a PR issue today, but memes went crazy on the Internet last night with this image.
KUCINICH: Well, this is clearly the newfound relationship with the press. It's better, right? I mean, now, they're a pen.
This looks silly. It should be treated as something that's silly. It looked ridiculous putting cameras behind those ropes. And there has to be — there are security concerns. We all get that. But, you know, come on, guys.
BREAM: Another image getting a lot of attention the last couple days, Bernie Sanders. I mean, he is drawing thousands. He's pulling up in the polls and in fundraising as well, not anywhere approaching Hillary Clinton on those two fronts, but certainly, Juan, with respect to people turning out and wanting to hear what he has to say, you know, they say there's Bernie-mentum. Do you agree?
WILLIAMS: Bernie momentum, I like that.
BREAM: Bernie-mentum, yes, something like that.
WILLIAMS: Bernie-mentum, OK.
So, he's within ten points of Hillary now in New Hampshire. And I think that's got to raise some eyebrows. Who ever thought Bernie Sanders, Mr. Socialist, would be that close to the Clinton brand in American politics? But he is.
Now, the downside is he's just raising money. He doesn't have any organization in key states, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada. And you got to remember also, he doesn't have the name ID that Hillary does.
So, Hillary is not interested in big crowds at this point. She's interested in saying, I can go out and talk to people. I can be your friend on an individual basis.
Bernie needs the big crowds.
So, don't get fooled by the short-term illusion here.
BREAM: All right.
All right, panel. We've got to take a break. We'll see you all in just a little bit.
Up next, is the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage a threat to religious freedom? We're going to discuss it with two key guests on opposite sides of this issue. And what do you think about protections for the First Amendment and religious liberty? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter @foxnewssunday. And of course, use the hashtag throughout the show, FNS.

St. Louis Children's Hospital Roars for Teen Galen
So often, kids wind up in our care for things that seem small at the time. For Galen, it was high school football try-outs. Symptoms surfaced on the field in July 2012 that would result in a leukemia diagnosis.
He spent 14 months with us, and, as is the case with most of our long-term kids, he became a student in our school. He spent hours every day in the classroom. When he didn't feel up to attending class, teachers went to his room.
On September 17 we talked to him about this music video as a part of a contest for high school students. He was so excited! The next morning, he received test results we didn't expect. Science had run out of options for treating Galen's disease.
He insisted he still wanted to make the video. He told us he wanted his parents and sister to have something to remember him.
We filmed it just before he went home on Thursday. We completed and shared it with Galen on Monday. He died on Tuesday.
We are, first and foremost, a hospital. But we're also a school. We may not have a football team, but we have more team spirit on this campus than you'll find at any other high school in America. Galen didn't have the chance to play, but he hit the field every day for 14 months, surrounded by more cheerleaders than you could count.
We watch these kids fight every day. It's time everyone else has the chance to hear them ROAR!

Lehrbuch der Hausa-Sprache mit Audio-CD
Ein Grundkurs in 30 Lektionen
Author: Herrmann Jungraithmayr, Wilhelm J.G. Möhlig, Anne Storch. Series edited by: Wilhelm J.G. Möhlig, Bernd Heine.
Series: Study Books of African Languages Volume 132004
335 pp.
3 maps, num. illustrations, 5 tables, appendix: additional dialogues and texts; verbal stems I-VII, subject pronouns; object, possessive and demonstrative nouns; vocabulary Hausa-German; vocabulary German-Hausa, with audio-CD
Text language(s): German
Format: 160 x 240 mm

€ 54.80
The present textbook of Hausa is based on the Einführung in die Hausa-Sprache published by Herrmann Jungraithmayr and Wilhelm J.G. Möhlig in three editions since 1976. Hausa is a West Chadic language spoken by approximately 35 mio. native speakers in Northern Nigeria, Southern Niger and Ghana, and is moreover one of the most important linguae francae in West Africa. Due to this there are altogether about 50 mio. Hausa speakers.
A general introduction and different geographical and ethnographical main fields within the single lessons help to intensify the cultural context of this language. The practical part has been redesigned completely and has also been completed with geographical and cultural information supported by text examples and illustrations. The former order of the presented subjects is maintained to a larger extent, but was updated to the latest level.
Each of the 30 lessons consists of three parts: Part (A) presents a dialogue or subject area, part (B) a grammatical analysis which shortly explains the newly introduced and practiced grammatical material, and part (C) which consists of exemplary sentence lessons, short texts and exercises.
The list of words in the appendix contains the vocabulary used in the lessons. The lessons are anteceded by an introduction into phonetics of Hausa – which is a stress-accented tone language – also including an introduction into the prosodic structure. Vowel length is marked by the doubled representation of the vowel. As far as tone is concerned, only the high tone is marked because most of the high-tone syllables in Hausa have an accent as well.
The Audio-CD, which can be ordered separately, consists of texts read by Nigerian native speakers. This textbook is meant for teaching in classes of African Studies but is also applicable as a practical guidance for anyone interested in this language.
Please find some sample files of the Audio-CD below.
Accompanying material:
- From Oral Literature to Video
- Grammatical and Semantic Relations in Hausa
- Hausa and the Chadic Language Family
- Hausa Comparative Dictionary
- Das Hone und seine Stellung im Zentral-Jukunoid
- Dialoge, Prosa und Liedtexte aus dem Lehrbuch der Hausa-Sprache
- Lehrbuch der Hausa-Sprache
- Magic and Gender
- The Noun Morphology of Western Nilotic
Uwe Seibert in Afrikanistik online, www.afrikanistik-online.de/archiv/2005/174, pp. 1-3
[...] this handbook is a real success of the German Hausaists, which will facilitate the acquiring of the practical knowledge of Hausa, and serve the general linguists in grasping of the main traits of its structure. It makes the reader familiar with the Hausa culture and their way of life, which is rather a seldom case as far as the other books of this kind are concerned. The proposed methods of learning seem to be quite effective although they require more time and patience.

According to a report in Government Computer News (GCN), at IT publication aimed at federal, state and local governments in the U.S., Microsoft has halted all new software development for one month so that the company's programmers can focus instead on fixing existing bugs. The revelation came during a privacy and data security summit in Washington that was sponsored by the Corporation of Privacy Officers.
"We are not coding new code as of today for the next month," Richard Purcell, director of the Microsoft's corporate computing office (whatever that is) is reported to have said at the summit. "It's time to get the garage cleaned out."
GCN reports that Purcell said the company would examine all of the source code in its existing products before returning to new product coding. He likened the task to a 20-year spring cleaning. Purcell also noted that computing today is "unstable and unreliable" and that Microsoft chairman Bill Gates "is really annoyed by the incredible pain we put everyone through in computing."
It's surprising that this news was reported solely through such a niche publication, but I'm trying to track down more information, including the veracity of the quotes used above.

Updated: August 22, 2009
When you delete a file on your hard drive, the deletion operation merely dereferences the data physically stored from the system indexes that catalog and manage the inventory of all files and folders on your machine. This means that people with right skills and right tools can retrieve potentially important, secret, private, or embarrassing information from your hard disks long after you have thought to have deleted them.
If you fear this kind of scenario and miss hours of sleep pondering one paranoiac scenario after another, then you should start using specialized tools that should help you maintain the integrity and privacy of your data.
These tools include encryption and secure deletion of contents. We will talk about encryption in another article. Today, we will focus on secure deletion - or shredding.
In conventional terms, shredding is tearing large bits of paper (and such) into small bits. Some of you may have done this rather addicting ritual once or twice - slide a wad of papers into the maws of a grinder and watch it spit out spaghetti at the other end. You can even do this in the comfort of your home, using small, portable shredders that cost a blasting fortune.
This is what were going to do today - use the electronic version of the paper shredder to get rid of files that you do not wish anyone else to see. For instance, you've just severed your relationship with your mistress and it turned ugly and now you need to get rid of those seven thousand emails in a hurry, oh-oh ... Anyhow.
Most Linux distribution come with secure deletion tools already installed. If not, they are one click away in the repositories. Ubuntu or Linux Mint save you the hassle of the extra installation. shred is already included, in the multipurpose package called coreutils, which includes tens of utilities.
So all that is left is to start using shred.
Using shred
shred is a command utility. It is run against files or folders, with certain flags. For example, we will do the following:
What do we have here?
- -f change permissions to allow writing if necessary
- -u truncate and remove file after overwriting
- -v be verbose (detailed) and show progress
- -z add a final overwrite with zeros to hide shredding
That's it basically. Now, let's see a real example:
The process is much longer than normal deletion, especially if you have many, large files you need to get rid of. But it works - and it works well. Still, there's one problem. Running shred from the command line is a very geeky procedure. Few people would want to do this on a daily basis. There must be an easier way ...
There is. It's called integrating shred into the Nautilus context menu.
Add shred to Nautilus context menu
For those who do not know what Nautilus is - it's the official file manager for the Gnome desktop. Just like you have Konqueror or Dolphin for KDE or Windows Explorer in Microsoft Windows. Context menu is what you see when you right-click on an object inside the file manager. It's called the context menu because the options change based on what object you clicked. In other words, it's contextual.
Normally, context menus contain basic functions like copy, paste, delete, send, open with, and others. Shred is not normally there, so we will add it.
Install Nautilus actions
To do this, we need a package called nautilus-actions, which allows you to edit the context menu by adding and removing entries or changing the existing ones.
After you install the utility, run it and click Add to create a new entry.
Creating a new entry requires some attention, so you do not want to create automated right-click tasks that run out of control. Therefore, be careful, especially when entering the command path and options, even more so with destructive commands like shred.
So we have quite a few fields to fill, let's see what they are:
Label, tooltip and icon are rather self-explanatory. I suggest you use meaningful names and hints so that other users - or yourself in distant future - will know what you meant when you created the entry.
Action is the really important bit. Path is specifies the command you wish to run. As you can see, I did not enter an absolute path (/usr/bin/shred) because shred is already part of my user's environment path.
You can check this by typing the command name (any one) or part thereof in the Terminal and hitting the Tab button for name completion. If the command exists in one of the several directories that are exported in your environment path, you will see the command name completed.
You can check what directories are queries for binary execution by typing the following in your terminal windows:
You will see that /usr/bin is part of this environment variable ($PATH), hence all commands that are located there can be executed without typing the full, absolute path.
All this said, it is always a good idea to use absolute paths, because you can never be sure if the environment variable is going to be altered somehow, a different version of the tool be used or installed - or any other unforeseen change happen.
If you're not sure, click the Browse button and search for the binary you need.
The other critical bit to pay attention is the Parameters field. Here, you specify what your command will do - and against which target. Therefore, you need to be aware of the different parameters and how they affect the execution of the command.
We saw earlier what -f -u -v -z do. By the way, you can use them as one string (-fuvz). Regardless, I warmly recommend that you spend time reading the manual pages on each and every command you wish to do add to Nautilus. For more about shred, check this man page.
%M seems a little strange, but it's actually how Nautilus interprets the command line. Click Legend for explanations. Indeed, we can see %M means a space-separated list of files and folders with their full paths. Excellent.
Now, move on to the next tab - Conditions.
This tab defines when (in which context) will the command appear in the right-click menu. In this case, we can all files. Match case is relevant only if you use specific file extensions, like .pdf, because in Linux, a cAse-sensitive operating system .pdf and .PDF is not the same.
Mimetypes is a geeky feature. It identifies files by their type rather than extension or name. For instance, you can use video/mpeg and then all files that are video files encoded as mpeg will show shed in the context menu.
In the bottom section, we want shred to appear both for files and folders and even when multiple objects are selected.
On the last tab, Advanced Conditions, we can configure the type of files we want shred to work with. Local files seems like the best option, but there are many others available.
And we're done.
Now, all we have to do is right-click on any folder/file and send it to oblivion.
There you go, now you know how to secure shred your files - and in a lazy way too, without going to the command line and typing geeky commands. Of course, 'tis a double-edged sword, because you will have to be very careful when deleting files this way. Shredding will remove them, permanently, irrevocably. You will not be able to undelete them once they're gone, so take this into consideration.
I hope you liked this tutorial. It may help you, especially if you have to use sensitive files on easily stolen devices, like laptops, and then get rid of them securely. shred is an easy and efficient way of doing it.
Many, many thanks to Ocky for inspiring this article!

When was the last time your bathroom saw a bit of sparkle?
…By this we don't just mean with the spray cleaner!
As interior designers, we are often called upon to do a complete overhaul of our clients' bathrooms. And they are sometimes quite surprised to find that we start in an unexpected place.
The light fittings. In other words, we turn our spotlights, to your bathroom spots lighting!
ledinbouwspotsleds.nl – Badkamer spotjes, inbouw spots LED and all other manner of LED fittings are usually our first port of call, when it comes to shining a light on your badkamer LED spots.
Or the lack of them. Because all too often, we can find that our clients in actual fact have quite beautifully up to date interior bathroom suites. But there is one key area where they have been neglected.
The light fittings. Or, as it often is, the light fitting. Since in most homes, we find that the bathroom only has one light point.
And if this is the case for you, then this is the first thing that our interior designers will look to change.
To create a truly ambient and relaxing environment for you to bathe in, do you really only want the one light to come from an overhead bulb?
For the best approach, you want a layered lighting look in your bathroom and this means – in our considered opinion – utilising the best in badkamer LED inbouwspots that you can find on the market.
Inbouwspots LED work to build a gentle and gradual light, by placing them at varying levels in the bathroom.
What you absolutely do not want to do is to put your badkamer LED spots – or indeed any lighting – directly above where the mirror is. This will just accentuate anything like dark circles and other unflattering features.
Instead, try and place the inbouw spots LED at either side of the mirror, at an even interval. This is so that a gentle, but even light falls on your face as you stand in front of the dreaded bathroom mirror, first thing in the morning!
Inbouwspotjes LED and other LED lights can also be positioned around the mirror itself. This gives a decorative effect, but also shines a light on your bathroom ablutions, without casting a dark shadow over them.
However the mirror is not the only place in the bathroom for lighting.
Have you ever thought about illuminating the area around the bath itself?
The good thing about LED built-in spots – or any type of LED – is that these can be battery operated quite easily and because of their low energy consumption, can be placed in unlikely spots.
Like the loo bowl itself, for example!
Yes, you can surprise your guests, your family and probably even occasionally yourself, with a toilet bowl that changes colour and sometimes even flashes!
Not all LED spots inbouwspotjes need to be battery operated of course.
Most of these will be wired into the mains electricity. But please, get a qualified electrician to do this essential job.
You might not know it, but for reasons of electrical safety, your bathroom is divided into separate "zones" which dictate exactly how far away the nearest light fitting might be.
For some, much smaller bathrooms, it is possible that they all fall within the most "dangerous" zone. This means any lighting fitted there must be of exactly the right type and positioned a certain number of feet away from any splashes and steam that might occur within the room.
But do not worry. This does not mean that you still can't have a halo of beautiful bathroom lights in even the most modest of washrooms.
You will just need to ensure that the correct procedure is followed to allow you to shave and bathe, in both clarity and serenity!

Steampunk set in the American Revolution has never been done before, but we've got a fantastic story, remarkable art, and the drive to see it through.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 17, 2012
Noble Beast is developing Steam Patriots, a series of five fictional stories that merge steampunk with the story of the American Revolution.
In Steam Patriots the War of American Independence is fought by flying airships where soldiers exchange cannon fire far above the fray of steam-powered tanks, smoke-belching steamcycles and soldiers with semi-automatic muskets.
Bringing the future of digital publishing to the present, the Steam Patriots book apps will include engaging features of animation, diagrams, interactive maps and audio, along with social features that allow readers to share comments within the story with other readers.
Noble Beast aims to make American history cool for readers who may not otherwise be drawn into learning about the Revolutionary War.
The Steam Patriots story follows Felix, a young man who crosses the thirteen colonies battling Red Coats while meeting some of the most important historical figures in US History. Felix becomes the protégé of Benjamin Franklin, a spy for George Washington, and a boon companion to the patriot-pirate John Paul Jones.
Everything the Founding Fathers experienced in the pursuit of Liberty presents itself to Felix in a very personal way. Felix suffers horribly at Valley Forge, fights valiantly at Yorktown, and witnesses the formation of a more perfect union.
The Steam Patriots series will be published on multiple platforms including ebook, iPad app, printed book, audiobook, web app and Braille.
What is steampunk? Steampunk is a speculative fiction genre of literature, art, and music based on the Victorian aesthetic and updated with steam-powered technology.
"Steampunk set in the American Revolution has never been done before, but we've got a fantastic story, remarkable art, and the drive to see it through," said Noble Beast producer-director, Richard Monson-Haefel.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, the Steam Patriots book app project is now on Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that invites potential backers to donate real money to creative projects. Funding for projects is not provided unless 100% of funds are raised within the specified time period. The 30-day Steam Patriots Kickstarter campaign has a funding goal of $100,000 and will run November 15 to December 16, 2012
Rewards for pledging to the Steam Patriots Kickstarter campaign include:
- Access to the Steam Patriots ebook for pledges starting at $3
- Limited edition signed art prints by artist Patrick Arrasmith
- Digital music download of Liberty or Death by Parisian steampunk band Life's Decay
- Interactive book app of Steam Patriots
- Noble Beast or Steam Patriots t-shirt
- Illustrated print edition of Steam Patriots
Artist: Patrick Arrasmith
Artist Patrick Arrasmith is creating beautiful scratchboard artwork for the series. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Arrasmith is an award-winning illustrator featured in editorials and book covers for The New York Times, Forbes, Random House, and Tor. Arrasmith prints of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and a "Steamcycle" will be available as Kickstarter Rewards.
Antoon Taghon of Uptown Fine Art Printing Studio in New York City will produce the limited edition prints. Antoon Taghon is an expert printer, trained since the age of sixteen in his native Belgium. His artistic and technical skills in printing are unbeatable.
Music: Life's Decay
Music for the interactive app will be provided by musical duo Life's Decay from Paris, France. Life's Decay creates a personal universe influenced by dark classical acoustic music, steampunk industrial, and experimental pop rock creating an intriguing soundtrack for the Steam Patriots story.
Museum of the American Revolution:
Noble Beast, LLC is working in conjunction with the Museum of the American Revolution to help fund the construction of the new museum in Philadelphia. Built into the Steam Patriots iPad application and web book will be a non-intrusive link that allows readers to donate to the $150M comprehensive campaign that is now underway to build the museum. The mission of the Museum of the American Revolution is to engage the public in the history and significance of the American Revolution.
Noble Beast Emporium:
The Steam Patriots project will include a catalogue of curated steampunk art, clothing, jewelry and other items called Noble Beast Emporium, Purveyors of Unique Curiosities. It will be accessible online and through the Steam Patriots book app. Allison Nowlin Ward, designer and previous owner of the vintage store Madame Fortuna in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is curating the collection.

The five most interesting mobile loyalty apps
When a good idea comes along in retail and digital there are soon many, many start-ups getting in on the action.
Take loyalty apps for example. Loyalty is a big beast. Many types of company may consider it part of their remit, from digital payment solutions, to social-style check-ins, to group buying sites, or indeed a retailer's own app.
I've previously looked at the state of apps in retail and found that using loyalty schemes is pretty much the major rationale for customers using a retail app.
Whether customers will settle on retailers' own apps or on a generic loyalty scheme provider (perhaps lumped with payment) remains to be seen.
But of those tens of consolidated loyalty apps, which are the best? Here's the list of five I think are most interesting. Whether mobile wallets such as PayPal and Google Wallet will buy them up remains to be seen but the space seems set to get richer before it gets poorer.
Yahoo turns to Google for ads: sign of a new friendship?
When Yahoo recruited Marissa Mayer from Google to replace interim CEO Ross Levinsohn, some suggested that Mayer's departure from Google was an indication that she had reached her limit for advancement at the search giant, and that her role at Google was actually not as important as it might have seemed.
Whether the rumors about Mayer's status at Google were accurate or not, one thing was certain: Yahoo was placing a huge bet on the 30-something executive, one that might have been the last such bet it could make.
As more consumers stay home, retailers hone their Black Friday online strategies
The holiday shopping rush will begin next week in earnest and, as they do every year, retailers are hoping that the most important season will be good to them.
While online channels have grown increasingly important in recent years, historically, the name of the game for retailers has been to get as many people lining up outside of stores at insane hours in anticipation of deals that await them when the doors open.
But times are changing. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), fewer holiday bargain hunters will venture out on Black Friday and subsequent weekend. All told, the NRF expects 147m Americans to leave their homes for the mall next week, down from 152m in 2012.
Travel deals stabilise Australia's group buying market
Group-buying seems to consistently experience conflicting states of flux - from reported positive growth, through to states of decline - so it's arguably difficult to identify the current condition of this segment in the digital industry.
However, according to a new report by Telesyte, Groupon has taken the lead as the most used group buying site, travel has become the most popular deal category for consumers and the group buying market looks like it really is moving away from a decline.
J.C. Penney shows the danger of the discount
Before Ron Johnson joined department store giant J.C. Penney as CEO in 2011, he was the SVP of Retail Operations at Apple Inc., where he was responsible for developing the Apple Store and its Genius Bar.
Apple's retail strategy was a major contributor to Appl'e's mind-bending success over the past decade, and for his seven-plus years of work, Johnson was handsomly rewarded.
Needless to say, given Johnson's accomplishments at Apple, J.C. Penney shareholders had high hopes for what he might do for the century-old retailer.
Earlier this year, Johnson unveiled his bold vision: radically alter J.C. Penney's pricing strategy.
Instead of using coupons and discounts, something the department store had done extensively for years, J.C. Penney would offer "Every Day", "Monthly Value" and "Best Price" prices on its merchandise. And instead of selling items for $x.99, it would use round numbers.
Will online retailers thrive thanks to an early Black Friday?
Some of the largest, most prominent multichannel retailers in the United States are so eager to get the holiday shopping season started that they're kicking Black Friday off early this year.
Instead of opening their doors to crowds on Friday morning, many are opening as early as midnight, hoping to cash in on consumers itching to burn off calories with some post-turkey dinner shopping.
Five reasons Facebook should still care about location
There has be all manner of speculation and rumour circulating over the last week or so about how exactly Facebook is going to approach the whole 'location' issue after seemingly shutting down its Places and Deals sites.
But much of the evidence suggests Facebook is even more focused on location now that it has been to date.
As I've already suggested, the latest feature updates Facebook rolled out recently actually puts location in a more prominent position; right in front of every user, every time they post a status update. And Facebook has been very clear that 'check-in deals' won't be disappearing anytime soon either.
Is real-time the future of group buying?
Thanks to companies like Groupon and LivingSocial, group buying has rapidly grown into a multi-billion dollar market in just a few short years.
The reason: group buying offers both consumers and businesses a deal that's too good to pass up. For consumers, there are steep, limited-time-only discounts on products and services. For businesses, there's the promise of a flood of new customers.
Groupon goes national with Gap
Group buying startups have managed to succeed where many .coms have failed before: local. By offering attractive, time-limited deals on goods and services from local vendors, companies like Groupon are proving that local commerce is as big an opportunity online as it has been hyped to be for more than a decade.
But national companies face many of the same challenges local businesses do, and on the surface, there's no reason the group buying model can't work with deals from national brands.
Vente-privee, Groupon, and the power of urgency
Chances are you've heard of Vente-privee. The French company pioneered the booming online private sales market. And you might be familiar with Groupon, a prominent player in the increasingly hot local deal-of-the-day market.
The former sells high-end luxury products. The latter offers recipients of its emails the possibility of being able to buy products and services from local businesses at hefty discounts. What's the secret to their success? You might be inclined to say "It's the deals!" While that's partially correct, the real answer is something far more primal: urgency.
Search experts weigh in on Google and Bing's real-time deals with Twitter
Twitter's deals with Microsoft (Bing) and Google have the blogosphere and Twittersphere abuzz. 'Real-time search' has been a hot topic in 2009 and there has been much speculation on Twitter's strategy vis-à-vis the real-time search opportunity. It appears that we now know what that strategy is: sell firehose access to the Twitter stream to the search engines and let them do what they do best.
The Bing and Google deals could be significant. Depending on what Bing and Google decide to do with their Twitter firehose, internet users could potentially see SERPs that are heavily influenced by Twitter activity, which would mean that SEOs will have to deal with Twitter as a 'ranking factor'. Of course, nobody knows all of the details yet, which is why I thought it would be worthwhile to see what experts and observers are saying about the deals.

Jakarta, My City of Sloth
Nasi Goreng Tek Tek (Indonesian fried rice from a street cart vendor)
Bihun Kuah Tek Tek (Wet Rice Noodles from a street cart vendor)
Martabak Asin (Fried Pancake filled with mutton and spring onion)
In Hong Kong, which is already the city of convenience, I don't consider myself as a lazy creature. Fine. I might take short cuts all the time, but I do put in some effort to get some tasty treats. In Jakarta, it's a whole different ball game. In Jakarta, namely my sister's place, you can get almost ANYTHING (including those you can't think of) delivered to your doorstep. The above and below tasty treats were all ordered, either via phone or even SMS (That's how we ordered the nasi goreng tek tek!!! How sophisticated is that?!!!) and we enjoyed them while hardly moving our azz from the couch, watching various drama series from reality TV, chick flick, to horror....while bitching about the characters in the shows and shouting unhelpful advice. LOL!
Mie Ayam Pangsit & Pangsit Goreng Aries (Indonesian Chewy Chicken Noodle with wontons and fried wontons)
Mie Ayam LCK (Indonesian Chicken Noodles). This one is super tasty, with a hint of sweet and sour
Stir Fried Kale with Sliced Beef with Brown Rice
Asem-Asem Daging with Krupuk & Perkedel Kentang (Sour Meat Soup with Cracker and Fried Potato Cake)
Nasi Padang with Gulai Otak, Sayur Nangka, Perkedel & Sambal Ijo (Padang Mixed Rice with Cow's Brain Stew, Jackfruit stew, Potato Cake & Spicy Green Chilli)
Ayam Goreng Mentega (Indonesian Chinese Fried Chicken in Salty & Sweet Butter Sauce)
and to honor the month of Ramadhan. We ordered this rich, sweet and fragrant Kolak Pisang (Banana stewed in Palm Sugar & Coconut Milk)
Yummy treats aren't the only things you can order. 24 hr junk food fix? Mineral water? Groceries? Laundry? 24 hr Massage? They are all just a phone call (or an SMS) away! You can literally live as a couch potato.
The solution to fit into your skinny jeans after such a sinful trip isn't dieting or exercising, but simply buying yourself another (bigger) pair. Just like I did ^_*

There are reports that Katie Holmes is frightened that the Scientology organization, panicked that she has left their group, thinks that she may betray some of their secrets and has now sent operatives of the organization to monitor her.
Photographers who have followed her have noticed several "mysterious" men and vehicles around Katie's apartment and following her when she leaves to go elsewhere. A white Cadillac Escalade and black Mercedes SUV have been seen near Holmes' residence recently.
Apparently, a publication has hired some people to follow her, but the evidence is murky as to whether the vehicles in question are from the publication or the Scientologists.
Holmes would prefer to keep the divorce case in the New York courts, where the preponderance of divorce cases award sole custody of the children when the parents don't settle amicably.
If Cruise and his Scientologist buddies are having Holmes tailed, it could strengthen her case for sole custody of their daughter Suri.
The Scientology organization is well-known for keeping a tight lid on information regarding them.

The Daring Exploits of a Runaway Heiress by Victoria Alexander
To Do:
Swim naked in the moonlight
Play in a high stakes card game
Ride an elephant
Be painted sans clothing.
Take a lover. . .
Lucy Merryweather has inherited a fortune--and her great-aunt's list of unfulfilled wishes. What better way to honor her memory than by accomplishing as many of them as possible?
And with Lucy's family an ocean away in New York, nothing stands in her way--if one ignores the private investigator hired to spy on her.
Yet Cameron Effington is infuriatingly difficult to ignore. . .
As a reporter, Cameron is always looking for a good story. An American heiress running rampant between Millworth Manor and Mayfair is the perfect subject. Not to mention captivating. And extremely kissable. And if Lucy believes he's a detective?
Well, the truth should never get in the way of a good story--or hinder delicious, impetuous passion. . .
Lovely story with a funny adorable duo.
The story and the plot have piqued my curiosity as it has been a long time since I've read a Victorian Romance. I was not disappointed. The reader follows an interesting heroine who has a mind on her own.
Lucy is charming and adventurous with a bit of a temper. Perfect to make you smile.
Cameron has make me frown. He is cute as a pie but he reacts like a stuffy old man. Worst, like a virgin! Not at all what you expect from a gentleman! Lol!
If the duo is cool, the story has some length. It's a little long in the beginning as well as at the end. In trying to build some suspense and anticipation, the author has made me sigh once or twice. But she has nice characters who have saved me from my impatience.
Nice read.

Haha, doesn't he, as a gentleman, should act like that at all? But thank you for your review. I love reading regency romance books, and I'm liking her fiery attitude, so I'm going to check this one out after posting this. :D Happy weekend!ReplyDeleteReplies
Enjoy your Sunday Goldie! And have fun with this book if you read it!Delete

After weeks of speculation, one of the aggrieved governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress(APC) yesterday [Oct. 1] joined the Alliance for Democracy(AD). Oke, who polled 576 votes after the September 3 gubernatorial primaries, said he dumped the party because of the action of its National chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
Oyegun overruled the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) that called for fresh primary following irregularities detected by the Appeal Committee that probed the post-primary crisis. Addressing crowd of supporters at his Ijapo estate residence, Oke said since the leadership of the party had failed to do justice to the irregularities, he decided to dump APC to realise his aspiration under the AD.
Oke, who was the former National Legal Adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described APC as a good party but lamented it had been hijacked by some cabals.
