First, I think we all need to pause and take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous cover:
You may now proceed with our regularly scheduled interview. ;)
1. What flavor is your writing?
Flavor? What an interesting question! Perhaps dark chocolate. Complex, rich, and not too sweet. Maybe with a hint of salt. (Since I write medieval romance, this is not historically accurate, but tasty, nevertheless.)
2. If this book were made into a movie, who would you cast to play the characters?
In this case, I really did use an actress as inspiration for Lady Cecily: Olivia Wilde. There was a particular shot of her in a fashion magazine that emphasized her wide eyes and square jaw. Lovely and strong. For the hero, I didn't use an actor, but adapted the look of Nacho Figueras, a polo player from Argentina, who's the face of the Ralph Lauren Polo fragrance ads. I made my hero fair instead of dark, but kept the strong cheekbones and the rogue curls.
3. What is your favorite scene in WHISPERS AT COURT?
Impossible to say! And it is difficult to describe or explain a scene in isolation without understanding how it fits into the story. That said, I love a scene near the end of the book. The heroine and hero are alone together, atop what we now know as the "White Cliffs of Dover." The heroine makes a confession and the hero makes a choice… Sigh. I hope the readers love it as much as I do.
4. What are you reading now or what books do you have in your TBR pile?
I just came back from a few days' vacation in Key West. While I was there, I visited the Hemingway house and that inspired me to pick up his TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, which is about as far from a medieval romance as you can get!
5. What are you working on now?
I've several projects that are calling me and I haven't committed to one yet. In addition to another Royal Wedding story, I'm also looking at a few wildly different time periods.

War-weary chevalier Marc de Marcel wants only to return home. Uncertain whether his ransom will ever be paid, he makes an unlikely alliance with enticing fire and ice Cecily. He'll help her keep the Princess safe from ruin if she'll help him escape. A pact which could lead them into a scandal all their own...

Thanks to the help of some dedicated aquarists here, I am getting a step closer to having some fancy goldfish each day!
To start, the fish I will be introducing to my tank are the following goldies :
2 Ranchu(if we can even find any around here..petco doesn't have any)
1 Ryukin
*1 Shubunkin
1 Fantail
1 more of one of those above
*removed from list due to compatibility issues swimming and what not I'm told. Will replace with probably a Fantail or a Ryukin.
For now, I am thinking
2 Ranchu
2 Fantail
1 Ryukin
I had a little trouble getting that mineral build up on the top out. At least that's what I think it is. will try some more vinegar again later to get that out. I'll take any suggestions as far as an easier way to get it out though :)
Hardware I am sourcing :
1 Aquaclear 110
Ceramic rings
1 Rena FilStar XP3
Pool filter sand
Goldfish food
fish net
Air wall(I hear goldies like to play with the bubbles :)
Theme - beach. I hope to find fish safe deco that will look like they're in a submerged beach :) like some kind of an umbrella..one of those generic treasure chests, beach ball..palm trees etc
As of now, I already have procured a 55 gallon tank with stand. Here are my cleaning progress pics from my first cleaning only..about an hour of elbow grease :)
Also wondering what I can lay across top to prevent the cat from getting in there. I already have the plastic top with lighting that goes across it, but doesn't cover the entire tank. I don't want too much coverage...and suffocate the fish..will my Aquaclear and air wall be sufficient air for the fish?
Much more to come..this is very exciting for us!

The US dollar finally hit the key psychological level of 100 yen today, rallying 0.2% in the European session as the yen extended weakness on the back of comments from Japans finance minister today. Taro Aso mentioned that Japan was willing to use market intervention as a policy tool in order to help fight deflation and revive the Japanese economy.This led to a yen sell-off and USDJPY hit a two-month high of 100.03 yen.Data released early in the US session showed US weekly jobless claims rose to 339K versus an expected 330K. Also the US trade deficit widened in September to $-41.8B versus $-39.0B forecast and a prior $-38.7B.The data gave some weakness to the dollar, especially against the euro, but not much change against the yen. EURUSD rose to $1.3460 after the data from an earlier low of $1.3418 when the pair fell after weak Eurozone growth data. The Eurozone flash GDP came in lower at 0.1%, missing expectations for 0.2% and lower than a prior 0.3%.The euro was weighed down by disappointing third quarter GDP data from France, as well as reports of slower growth in the Eurozone as a whole. The soft data fuelled speculation that the ECB may have to look for policy easing tools to help revive the economy. This will keep the euro vulnerable.Sterling made up for losses made earlier after weak UK retail sales data. today which showed a 0.6% month-over-month drop in October, versus expectations for a 0.2% drop. The pound slid to a session low of $1.5988 but managed to rebound back above the key $1.60 level and rose to as high as $1.6061 early in the US session.All eyes are on Fed President nominee Janet Yellens US Senate confirmation hearing at 10am Eastern time. Her Q&A session will be closely watched to see how dovish she will sound on the US economy. Yesterday, Yellens text of her testimony as releases and it had a dovish tone as she mentioned that the US economy still requires the Feds help, meaning stimulus measures were here to stay for a while. Such measures tend to weaken the dollar.

It has buy-one-get-the-second-half-price on pasta and chicken entrees and appetizers this month, "to thank everyone for all the great years," DeAlmeida said.

Satisfied investors can be defined as those individuals who find a suitable lifestyle in a certain place. This term may come into natural born citizens of the place or foreigner who chooses to live and have their own investment. But the big question is, what specific mode of investment and appropriate way could this activity be achievable? Another question is where is the right place to invest and enjoy these benefits?
To answer the first question about the type of investment that is considered one of the best, then real estate investments is one of them. This is because of the potential benefit it could possibly give such securing one's good future and build a good retirement portfolio. From this reason, we can already define a very good example of activity that can be linked to this kind of investment and that is retirement, also later on we will determine those people who choose to have their retirement in the Philippines and why.

With the summer months coming to an end, and we take our children for the annual ritual of buying new school clothes and school supplies, we forget that many of them often struggle with their emotions during this time. On one hand they are sad to see the summer end and school begin; on the other, they are excited to get new clothes and see their friends from school years past.
When I was a child (of the 70's), I often had these mixed feelings myself. I was not the most studious child and I often dreaded the daily ride to school; however, I so enjoyed "hanging out with my friends" and "playing at recess" that I generally went to school without so much as a grumble.
Each year in elementary school, there were certain events I looked forward to; birthday parties, long weekends, organized team events at recess (I particularly liked dodge ball) and picture day. Each Fall, my mother would send with me, in my best school clothes, to school a check made out to the photographer for whatever nominal fee was associated with the one 8x10, two 5x7 and eight wallet sized photos. Several weeks later I would receive my package of photos and take them promptly to my mom, who would of course, replace the 8x10 photo of me in the living room frame by placing it in front of the previous year. She would send one 5x7 to my grandmother and the wallet size prints would be distributed to mostly family, but a few friends of my choosing.
Over the past few years, the start of each school means that picture day will roll around before we know it. Each picture day, our daughter gets up with a little extra energy and gusto to look especially nice for that year's photo. A few weeks later, we receive a photo packet order form which asks us to go through the decision making process of choosing the best photo of the four taken, each one looking almost identical to the last.
Once we narrow our selection to one, we look at the online package options, only to see the minimum option includes no 8x10 images, but rather one 5x7 and four wallet size images for distribution among close family, all for the "low, low price of $25 - $30."
Since I am a photographer, you can imagine that my daughter does fairly well in front of the camera. She is better in front of the camera when my wife or I are with her, but we usually have a couple of good photos to choose from with her school sessions. After all of this, we repeat the process in the Spring, usually with similar results
Why not pay for a photo session with a local photographer who shoots on location? This way, you can schedule your child's "Back to School" photos when it is convenient for you and your child. You can choose the location or background, and even include elements that make the photos more personal. Is the photo session more than the minimum $25-$30 for school photos? Yes. But, you can make the photos personal to what your child is doing that year. Don't just capture "photo day", rather capture your child's moments in time. This is what photographers do.
Does your son play baseball or football? Shoot at a local ball field with a bat, ball and glove or helmet, jersey and football. Does your daughter play soccer or dance? Choose a local soccer field with a soccer ball or capture her in her tutu on stage at a local theater. My daughter plays the ukulele and this year, we will choose a local venue in which to shoot her "personalized" photo session with her ukulele and her favorite dog, Carl.
If you'd like to schedule your child's "Back to School" session, please contact us at email@example.com so we can get them on the schedule. Think about what can make your child's session personal to him or her. A photo session with Gone To Texas consists of a full photo session, with props (soccer ball, football, guitar, or even pets) and at a time convenient for your family. After the session, you can take your time in choosing your top ten photos, and after doing so, all of your chosen ones will be available for download or you can purchase prints directly from our website.

New study to have impact on federal drug safety system
The upcoming release of a new report could lead to a new way of monitoring prescription drug safety, according to officials at the Food and Drug Administration.The Institute of Medicine is currently wrapping up its evaluation of the Food and Drug Administration's current system for monitoring drug safety. The evaluation is expected to have "a profound influence on future drug safety laws," said Paul J. Seligman, associate director for safety policy and communication at FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The IOM's report, due later this summer or early fall, is part of a drug safety initiative the FDA launched in 2005 to make timely drug safety information available to the public and healthcare professionals. Last month, the FDA said it plans to create a new electronic system for collecting adverse event reports on medications and medical devices.

Aura Lee by Jim Reeves
Song Information
"Aura Lea" (also known as "Aura Lee") is an American Civil War song about a maiden. It was written by W. W. Fosdick (words) and George R. Poulton (music). The Elvis Presley song "Love Me Tender" (lyric by Ken Darby) is a derivative adaptation of this song. A later Presley recording for the film The Trouble with Girls entitled "Violet (Flower of N.Y.U.)" also used the melody of "Aura Lea". There is also a version of "Aura Lea" called "Army Blue" associated with the U.S. Military Academy. The tune is sung to lyrics specific to the academy; the original lyrics to that version were by George T. Olmstead, an 1865 graduate of the academy. It is the running theme music in the background of the 1954 John Ford film The Long Gray Line. Aura Lea was memorably sung by Frances Farmer and a male chorus in the 1936 film Come and Get It, based on Edna Ferber's novel. Show video tutorial!
About the Artist
James Travis Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter popular during the 1950s and 1960s who was well-known for being a practitioner of the new, so-called Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music) Known as Gentleman Jim, his songs continued to score the charts for years after his death at age 40 in a private airplane crash. He was a member of the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. Jim Reeves was born in Galloway, Texas, a small rural community near Carthage. Winning an athletic scholarship to the University of Texas, he enrolled to study speech and drama, but quit after after six weeks to work in the shipyards in Houston. Soon he resumed baseball, playing in the semi-professional leagues before contracting with the St. Louis Cardinals "farm" team during 1944 as a right-handed pitcher. He played for the minor leagues for three years before severing his sciatic nerve while pitching, which ended his athletic career.

IBM, Procter & Gamble, Lockheed Martin, Clif Bar, Bank of America and Gap are among the companies to receive EPA awards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and taking action to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The agency today announced the 2017 Climate Leadership Award winners, including five organizational leadership awards that went to:
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
- The Goldman Sachs Group
- Lockheed Martin Corporation
- Procter & Gamble
DFW Airport, the only airport to be recognized two consecutive years by the EPA in the Climate Leadership Awards program's six-year history, received the award for its Sustainability Management Plan, which prioritizes energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The airport included GHG emissions per passenger as a key performance indicator in its FY2016-2020 Strategic Plan, with a goal to reduce the kilogram per passenger of carbon from 2.88 to 2.45 between 2015 and 2020. This represents a 15 percent total reduction, or 3 percent annual reduction.
The airport also uses low- and no-carbon vehicles in its fleet, including compressed natural gas in its bus fleet operations, with multiple fueling stations for airport fleets and the surrounding community. DFW also uses hybrid-electric fleet vehicles and has provided electrical charging infrastructure to support ground support equipment operations and passenger vehicles.
Last summer, DFW Airport became the first carbon neutral airport in North America by switching to renewable energy sources and converting its bus fleet to compressed natural gas vehicles, among other low-carbon initiatives.
Global investment firm Goldman Sach's organizational leadership accomplishments include achieving carbon neutrality across operations and business travel in 2015, the EPA says. The company has also committed to a 10 percent reduction in absolute energy use from 2013 to 2020 and use of 100 percent renewable energy.
IBM, which has received EPA Climate Leadership awards every year since 2012, has set a goal to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 35 percent by 2020 against a 2005 baseline, adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. IBM says it will achieve this goal through increased energy efficiency across operations and through renewable energy procurement (20 percent of its annual electricity use by 2020).
In 2015, IBM contracted 17.5 percent of its global energy purchases through green power, above and beyond renewable electricity IBM receives automatically via grid purchases.
Additionally, the company developed a global environmental management system (EMS), which serves as the foundation for its efforts to address climate change and inform business strategy. It also requires all IBM suppliers to have an EMS, inventory their energy use and GHG emissions, establish reduction plans and publicly report their results.
Lockheed Martin received an organizational leadership award in part for its absolute GHG reduction goal of 35 percent from 2010 through 2020 for global operations.
The company optimizes energy use through its Go Green 2020 program, which includes energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, with a pledge to quadruple on-site renewable generation to 10 MW by the end of 2020. The company achieved 18 percent energy and 23 percent GHG reductions from 2010 to 2015 towards its Go Green goals. In 2015, Lockheed initiated or completed more than 40 energy efficiency and GHG reduction projects.
One of the company's goals is to achieve $4 billion in product sales with direct, measurable benefits to energy and advanced infrastructure resiliency by 2020. It has also committed to help customers reduce their GHG emissions by at least twice the GHG impact of business operations by 2020.
Procter & Gamble has set several 2020 goals including: an absolute GHG reduction of 30 percent for global operations using 2010 as a baseline, using 30 percent renewable energy, and a 20 percent reduction in truck transportation which was exceeded last year when it reached a 25 percent reduction.
The company has also set a goal to double its use of recycled resin in plastic packaging by 2020. To date it has increased it by 30 percent and also achieved its goal to have 100 percent of the virgin wood fiber used in tissue/towel and absorbent hygiene products be third-party certified.
Previously P&G said its environmental management efforts have saved almost $2 billion through waste and energy costs since 2007.
Other Climate Leadership Awards and their winners include:
Supply Chain Leadership
Excellence in Greenhouse Gas Management (Goal Achievement Award)
Excellence in Greenhouse Gas Management (Goal Setting Certificate)

HDR, water
Fall on the River
27/10/10 21:30
This is an HDR that was processed from a single photo using Photomatix Pro. Work had been extremely hard this day. I came home and told my wife I needed some time to process the day. I grabbed my camera and headed up Provo Canyon. I arrived at this spot right as the sun was setting.

Small Waterfall, Long exposure
02/07/10 20:02
This little waterfall was found in a small hidden area just off the path going to Fish Creek Falls located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I went to this location to film Fish Creek falls. So before we left I put a neutral density and a polarizing filter on my lens. The use of these filters allows less light to reach the sensor which in turn give a longer exposure. When this is done with moving water it gives the effect of making the water look silky. Even though it was the middle of the day I soon found out that for this location I did not need these filters. This little waterfall was located in such a dark little area that no sunlight was reaching the water. I took the filters off and reshot. My original plan for this waterfall was to shoot a 5 exposure HDR. The problem I quickly ran into was that so many people were in the area and even though my camera was on a tripod, the mirror up and I was using a cable release it was hard to get five sharp photos. I had to have the tripod on a small bridge, and the traffic going up and down kept producing vibrations. Instead I settled for one exposure.
I exported the photo to NX2 and developed it as normal. This included slightly increasing the exposure. At that point I saved it and then made one stop changes and resaved each time. I was able to make four total exposures. A quick export into Photomatix Pro and I had the HDR I was looking for.
At this point in the development the photo is far from being finished. I exported to Lightroom then to CS4 where I brought in the original photo so that I could blend a few areas that were over saturated from the HDR work. Once I had the photo where I wanted it I merged the layers and ran Topaz DeNoise.
I like how clear the water is in the small pool.
I like the different levels the water takes as it falls into the pool.
I like the moss covered walls.
The equipment I used:
Nikon D200
18-135 lens
Cable release
Mirror up
The Specs:
Iso 100
3 sec exposure
Thank you for visiting today.

Business professional Jason Rose wrote on StartupSmart that the key for any organization to be successful is planning, and that is especially true for disaster recovery.
"One of the truths of starting a business is that things will go wrong – sometimes horribly – even if you ticked every box on your checklist," he wrote. "There will simply be times when things just blow up, which has certainly been my experience." He continued, "Experiencing these kinds of disasters has led me to develop my own theory about start-ups: Until you have faced your first disaster, you haven't really launched your business."
Rose said he uses a four-step plan to help with disasters, including:
1) Accept that there will be a disaster eventually
2) Address disaster when it strikes instead of ignoring it
3) Find a solution as soon as possible
4) Learn from the mistakes that led to the disaster, if there were any
Network World said organizations should figure out what threats exist to their organization and list them as soon as possible. These should be organizational according to their impact on business systems and the cost should be balanced with what kind of downtime they have the potential to bring. This is a great way to hone disaster recovery across the company.
