Lamiderm serum helps to achieve the smooth, youthful-looking skin we all yearn for; Put your best face forward with Lamiderm Apex! A brand new exclusive skin care
formula, Apex goes beyond the skin's surface to repair, rejuvenate and restore at the core of the problem. Lamiderm targets the primary fibers of the skin to rejuvenate your skin.
Apex Contains;
1. Elastin - Elastin helps skin return to natural positioning
2. Fibronectin - Plays a vital role in tissue repair
3. Collagen - Provides firmness to tissue structures.
While some serums only target one or two of these proteins, Apex targets all three to help your skin look and feel its best.
Benefits Of Using Lamiderm Apex Serum
1. Lamiderm revitalizes skin's natural elasticity, firmness, and healthy glow.
2. Lamiderm actively brightens and lighten skin.
3. Effectively rehydrate.
4. Protect from UV damage.
5. Increase elastin, fibronectin and collagen production through bioactive growth factors.
When we're younger, elastin, fibronectin, and collagen are plentiful, helping the skin look and feel healthy. But over time, age and damage cause the proteins to weaken and deplete. The Fertilized Avian Egg Extract is powered by the LOX enzyme activator, which naturally triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Lamiderm Repairs aging skin and boosts cellular activity.
Helps soften scars and stretch marks.
Lamiderm is not yet available in the United States. It will be released in 2017. For more information, you can visit their website Lamiderm skincare.
This post is in collaboration with Lamiderm.

Bloodsport and constant conflict?
Believe me I don't quote Bill Clinton often, but a few words from his recent Democratic National Convention speech have stayed with me. He called for an end to the 'blood sport' of American politics and cautioned the 'politics of constant conflict.'
'Blood sport and constant conflict' sounds like the name of a sultry teenage band. But these words also sound cruel, frenzied, aggressive and intensely unpleasant. Is this the image the public have of politics? Hopefully not but perhaps more disturbingly, is this the image that politicians want the public to have? Political parties are masters of perception – spin, image and publicity are everything. These violent images resonate on some level with what we already think about politics and they are not conveyed incidentally.
Political parties are knowing participants in this blood sport pursuit. Unfortunately power, pride, distain for other parties and grandstanding seem to be important parts of this game. No doubt the odd soft edge (kissing a baby or hugging a hoodie) is good for publicity but the real image that political parties often portray is one of aggressive infallibility. You don't often see politicians on street corners with a Pit-bull straining on a chain. But their message is the same, 'I'm intimidating, very powerful and if you annoy me things might get messy'.
To bring things a little closer to home, it was recently reported that the Northern Ireland Assembly has 161 press officers, more than Belfast has journalists (Guardian May 2012). Now I'm no PR consultant but it seems to me that the 'politics of constant conflict', which is acutely perpetuated here, is again no accident. I'm also no HR consultant but if the UK or Northern Ireland Government was a company seeking to increase productivity then internal relations would drastically need to improve. Has anyone ever worked out the cost of political pride to the tax payer?
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to good relations, genuine equality and productivity is the public and publicised behaviour in politics. Politicians stand united against bullying, sectarianism and violence yet often their attitudes, words and actions towards each other tell a different story. Do as I say not as I do.
Do you see what's happened? Ironically I've become one of the hounds in the pack. From my high horse I've singled out our politicians as the crafty fox. In the frantic hunt for self-righteousness it's often humility and grace that fall off the saddle. To put it simply, I forgot to take the plank out of my own eye and tripped over it. From the playground to the boardroom we're all guilty of turning childish games into blood sports.
How refreshing then is the Kingdom of God - a mustard seed movement organically turning the world the right side up. A group where the last shall be first and power lies in the Spirit of God, not in the whim of public opinion polls. Kingdom-dwellers are a people so humble that their left hands don't know the generous deeds their right hands are doing. Their love of their God and their neighbour means they would rather die to themselves than usurp the limelight.
Let's pray again for our Christian politicians, for wisdom to decide when to publicly stand and enter the fight and when to quietly whisper and listen. Let's pray that they stun the political world not just by their clever articulation or dashing charm but by the way they inject the rare commodity of grace and humility into the public square.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: The Capture by Kathryn Lasky
Genre: Fantasy/Animal Story
Release Date: 2003
Add to Goodreads
About the Book: Soren is a young barn owl who has grown up hearing legends of knightly owls from Ga'Hoole. When Soren falls (or is he pushed?) from his nest and ends up being captured by a school for orphaned owls, St. Aggie's. But St. Aggie's isn't as good as it seems and Soren and his new friend Gylfie must discover a way to escape and find out if the legends of the guardians are true.
GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: I'm not a big fan of animal fantasy, but Guardians of Ga'Hoole is a series that I could really get into and enjoy. Kathryn Lasky's writing makes the owls so believable and Soren is a reluctant hero that you want to cheer for.
This is the first book in the series, so while it has a story on it's own, it's also setting up the rest of the series and Soren's journey. All the characters are well written and fun to read about and I really liked the owl mythology.
Sensitive readers should also be warned that this isn't a nice little story about animals-there are mean characters and some casualties. But the story is engaging and entertaining and fans of animal fantasy are sure to find a series to get hooked on.
Book Pairings: The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins, Warriors Series by Erin Hunter
Full Disclosure: Reviewed from audiobook CD from library

I love animal fantasy! And if you don't like it that much and enjoyed this, it must be awesome! Yay!ReplyDelete
My 11-year old daughter LOVES this series. She is a big fan, for sure. She cannot wait for the opening of the movie which I believe happens next week.ReplyDelete
She is also a HUGE fan of the Cat Warrior series by Erin Hunter. LOVES THEM! I think she owns all the books in that series, even the guides.
I have not read either series because I am not a huge fan of animal fantasy stuff, but I did read The Sight by David Clement-Davies. That was a very good wolf fantasy read. It is one of my 15-year old's favorite books. She was 13 years old when she first read the book.
You know, I've never been a big fan of animal fantasy either. I noticed they are making this into a movie (I think). I keep seeing previews for a new movie coming out with owls, and guardians. I can't remember if they named it after the book specifically...but it looks interesting. I love shape-shifter novels, and this isn't too far away from those, so I can see myself reading this.ReplyDelete
i read the first 10 or so books in this series to my daughter a few years back. we both enjoyed it a lot. We're looking forward to the movie,ReplyDelete

Can I just make some very brief remarks? I am not a Queenslander, I am a Western Australian, but I found that I had common views with Warwick Parer in various areas when I first came here. He was someone who assisted me and who explained Senate procedures to me. He was an individual who I greatly respected because of his great record in business and his great success in business, as well as his political views, which I found very sensible and very much in keeping with my own views. In addition, I found his knowledge of the mining industry very interesting; of course, I came here from the Pilbara, where the great West Australian iron ore industry is based. We discussed mining issues on many occasions. I found that he was a person who had an outlook very similar to that of people in Western Australia.
I must say I enjoyed knowing Warwick Parer; admittedly at a much more superficial level than the Queensland members. The last time I saw him was at the Liberal Party campaign launch in 2010 in Brisbane, and we had a very friendly conversation there. I simply want to add my tribute to those already on the record: Warwick Parer was somebody who made a significant contribution to the Senate and, in his own way, he was very much a great man, and a great supporter of Liberal Party and its values.

Ranking law prof blogs by digital privacy
I recently posted an "annual disclosure," which describes things like hits, costs, and privacy. Of note, this blog is not monetized in any way. At the moment, I have a fairly strong hostility to the notion that legal academics should monetize their blogs--not that I begrudge or hold it against any who do, but that I am not convinced it would do anything but pressure my blog toward a reduction in quality or an increase in real or apparent corruption. (For more on that, see my site disclosure.)
I thought it might be useful to rank the blogs of law professors based upon digital privacy. I used 66 blogs for this sample: the top 50 law professor blogs from a recent TaxProf ranking based on site traffic, and 16 other blogs of note (including my own), some of which are not law professor blogs but law-related blogs.
Every time you visit a site, you transmit information to that site. Presumably, the owner of the site (and anyone responsible for hosting the site) has access to that information. But sites may contain a number of items that may disclose your information to third parties--frequently, without disclosing it, and without your knowledge.
So, I used Ghostery to determine the "cookies, tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons" that are invisible to a site visitor, but that may (and frequently do) disclose information to third parties. It treats each tracking item as equal; it counts multiple tracking items from the same site (e.g., Twitter Badge and Twitter Button) as separate items.
In a sense, Ghostery is underinclusive. A site may internally collect data but does not need a tracker, because, well, the information is routed directly through the site itself, and there is no need to install a third-party tracking device. So, of course, you should assume that all sites contain at least one tracking device: the site itself. What the site collects and how it uses it varies from site to site.
Further, Ghostery is, alas, but one imperfect measure. When I recently did this test, I saw that some sites had different third-party trackers depending on when I visited, or from where. These rankings, accordingly, should be taken with a grain of salt.
One curious item is that utter lack of transparency on most sites--and some, ironically, operated by law professors who specifically write in the area of digital and online privacy. I'm hard-pressed to find on most of these sites a privacy policy or disclosure that your information is being shared with third parties, or that the site operators may profit from your activity on the site. Perhaps that disclosure is not the kind of thing one should expect--but it's one that I would hope to see more of in the future.
Among these 66 blogs, 87 different kinds of devices were used. The most popular include the following (with links to the Ghostery identification of the service and the information collected by the service, such as whether the information is anonymous, pseudonymous, or personally-identifiable information, and data retention policies, if available). Where available, I've included a link to the site's opt-out options.
Google Analytics (used by 56 sites) (opt-out options)
SiteMeter (48) (opt-out cookie)
Specific Media (46) (opt-out cookie)
Vindicio Group (46) (opt-out cookie)
Quantcast (40) (opt-out cookie)
ScoreCard Research Beacon (40) (opt-out cookie)
Typepad Stats (31)
The sites below are ranked based on the number of trackers. The lower the number, the fewer trackers. Rounding out the top three: Non Curat Lex, operated by Professor Kyle Graham, who bravely has not a single tracking device (and who, alas, has just retired from blogging); my own blog, which uses Google Analytics (as disclosed); Professor Lawrence Lessig's blog, which uses just Google Analytics and the Typekit by Adobe (which only collects anonymous information about the serving domain).
The rankings below are based on the total number of Ghostery items identified on the site; higher numbers mean more items. There are, I'm sure, other ways of calculating "digital privacy"; please let me know if you have thoughts in the comments.

The next time you cut a sweet onion and don't cry, thank a soldier named Peter Pieri. Pieri is credited with bringing sweet onion seeds from the island of Corsica to Washington in the 1880s. Sweet onions
have a very low amount of pyruvic acid which is the compound that makes you cry and gives onions their pungent bite. Walla Walla sweet onions are Washington's official state vegetable thanks to a persistent group of schoolkids who lobbied the state legislature.
Sweet onion season is fleeting, just like summer. This recipe, slightly adapted from the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Marketing Committee, pairs the allium with summer fruit stand-outs mango and kiwi to make a terrific fruit salsa that will be a hit at your next patio gathering.
Towering over 14,000 feet, Mount Rainier makes its presence known, just 64 miles southeast of Seattle. With over 27 major glaciers and countless smaller ones, this peak supplies six rivers and is also an active volcano.

University of Glasgow
Research Data Registry Status 30/09/13 – Please do ask for an update as things are moving along nicely
The University of Glasgow data registry has undergone some initial consultation and is available should anyone wish to register metadata about a dataset. We have identified some researchers who might have a dataset that they need a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for and will be trying out creation of some real DOI's via the DataCite service that we have been testing. We are building a new dedicated, more responsive server and hence want to have that ready before we issue DOI's. We will be able to support some modest storage requirements in the short-term.
The generic unique resource locator http://researchdata.gla.ac.uk/ has been set up and is operational. There are a few metadata records in there – we wanted to have at least one example for each College to help us demonstrate the options to researchers.
As part of our commitment to DataCite and good practice we are working with IT Services to establish additional methods and storage options so that the University can be assured that any datasets registered are robustly stored and retrievable.
The University has also have signed up to ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). This unique identifier for a person should help distinguish and aggregate research outputs from those of other researchers with similar names. ORCID is global rather than national or institutional. It will help transfer data between organisations. We hope to be able to provide a range of services to academics.
We are working with representatives from Jisc and DCC who are in the early stages of developing a national research data registry to ensure that our offering is compatible. The national registry work is scheduled to run until December 2013. The Research Data Australia code (developed by Australian National Data Service) is being tested as a possible model for use in the UK. CKAN software is also being tested. CKAN was developed by the Open Knowledge Foundation and is currently being used by the UK's data.gov.uk and the European Union's publicdata.eu. The University of Lincoln has implemented an instance of CKAN as their research data portal through the Jisc-funded Orbital project and early feedback has been positive.
Reference to Datasets in Papers
As part of the open access process we have started advocating that staff include a statement as to how research data generated from the public funds can be accessed. We expect uptake to be slow and do not intend to push hard on this however this is now mandated for RCUK awards.
Many of the above short-term costs have been covered from our Jisc CERIF for Datasets (C4D) project.

Minimal contention-free matrices with application to multicasting
Document typeArticle
Date issued2000
Rights accessOpen Access
In this paper, we show that the multicast problem in trees can be expressed in term of arranging rows and columns of boolean matrices. Given a $p \times q$ matrix $M$ with 0-1 entries, the {\em shadow} of $M$ is defined as a boolean vector $x$ of $q$ entries such that $x_i=0$ if and only if there is no 1-entry in the $i$th column of $M$, and $x_i=1$ otherwise. (The shadow $x$ can also be seen as the binary expression of the integer $x=\sum_{i=1}^{q}x_i 2^{q-i}$. Similarly, every row of $M$ can be seen as the binary expression of an integer.) According to this formalism, the key for solving a multicast problem in trees is shown to be the following. Given a $p \times q$ matrix $M$ with 0-1 entries, finding a matrix $M^*$ such that: 1- $M^*$ has at most one 1-entry per column; 2- every row $r$ of $M^*$ (viewed as the binary expression of an integer) is larger than the corresponding row $r$ of $M$, $1 \leq r \leq p$; and 3- the shadow of $M^*$ (viewed as an integer) is minimum. We show that there is an $O(q(p+q))$ algorithm that returns $M^*$ for any $p \times q$ boolean matrix $M$. The application of this result is the following: Given a {\em directed} tree $T$ whose arcs are oriented from the root toward the leaves, and a subset of nodes $D$, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm that computes an optimal multicast protocol from the root to all nodes of $D$ in the all-port line model.

Then, at the age of 16, he began his formal catering training, spending 2 years at Hull College, 2 at Scarborough College (like fellow chef and Yorkshire man James Martin) and a year each at Grimsby and Beverley College.
During his career he's worked at some of the UK's biggest and busiest hotels and competed in many national competitions including the London Hotelympia Salon Culinaire competitions and also won a place in the Forte's Chef of the Year competition. He has also spent time overseas at the highly acclaimed French cookery school Ecole Le Notre where he picked up a wealth of experience and knowledge in areas of specialist patisserie work.
Nigel regularly demonstrates at top food festivals and events throughout the UK from Brighton's Jubilee Square, Royal Hampton Court Palace London to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, and, in 2008, Nigel demonstrated at the Channel 4 Leeds Taste Festival. He's been a regular celebrity at the 2007/8 & 9 Hull Global Food Fest and has also provided an impromptu "cooking with banter" along with Ainsley Harriot, entertaining the audience with their cheeky sense of humor and easy to follow teaching styles.
2012 was another productive year for Nigel: in January he became a regular recipe columnist for The Lady Magazine online, and later in the year he flew out to New Deli for two weeks he will be "Guest Cheffing" some exclusive cookery school days at Deli's very own Zaza Cookery School.
Nigel also lends his on-going commitment and support as Patron of the Echoes Foundation, a charitable organisation that supports families and children with disabilities. He was also featured in the Echoes Foundation 2011 charity celebrity chef calendar along with Gordon Ramsay, Gino D 'Acampo, Gary Rhodes, Raymond Blanc, Ainsley Harriott, Merrilees Parker, James Martin and the Hairy Bikers.

For Eternity – Archival Strategies in Art
8 October 2017 – 25 February 2018
An archive collects documents of historical significance–whether culturally, legally or politically–all of which are chosen, catalogued and conserved. These documents serve as records for both the general public and scholarly research and thus enable societies to continually remember the past. In the 21st century's digital information age, the archive and its memorializing function has gained new meaning, not only as a non-material but also now as a virtual space. We currently find ourselves in a state of continuous generation as we constantly produce new and immeasurable quantities of data. Despite the fact that library index cards are being replaced by apps, and the photo album by the Cloud, the amount of stored data being produced continues to grow. This has highlighted the distinct need for change and compelled people to instead of merely preserving records of their own existence for future generations, to take control of the flood of data. This overflow of information is something that only started to emerge with the continuous development of available media storage. Therefore, in recent years it is not only librarians, registrars and archivists who have been addressing the safekeeping of meaningful information, but also increasingly software developers, who are seeking solutions for the problem of the unstoppable growth of data. Since well before the digital economy, archival strategies have always played an important role in the visual arts, however, since the beginning of the digital era a new, notably increased interest has arisen. From the cabinets of curiosities of the late-renaissance, through to the end of the 1920s and the cultural scholar Aby Warburg's extensive Mnemosyne Atlas and going right up until Marcel Duchamp's legendary Boîtes-en-valise series - the series features a selection of miniature reproductions of his works in cases and thus removed the need for a catalogue of works; what these particular examples from art history demonstrate, is how through collecting, saving and archiving the visible–that which the image shows–meaningful arrangements are implied. Even today, a large proportion of artistic archives invest in a variety of types of content, such as individual works, materials and objects, but also increasingly digital data detailing the individual's life or artistic undertakings in order to to preserve them, arrange them and to allow them "to be seen". Furthermore, this type of work also reflects a confrontation of the principle memorializing function of imagery and the resulting process of perception, within which ultimately the viewer's own memories and associations are consciously taken into account. While it is important for us to consider our entire collection and to take into account the various ideas represented within it when selecting works for an exhibition, we also wanted to restrict ourselves to representing younger artworks. The art production of the last 20 years has demonstrated a keen interest in archival strategies not only for example in photography, which is a medium typically associated with memorializing, but also in painting and sculpture. In addition to this, it is also noteworthy that despite the possibilities of and many digitally created and stored works, more and more images are once again being produced using manual or analog processes, that means drawn, printed, sculpted or engineered. This has led to an artist's choice of materials once again becoming a central focal point, and raises questions about how artists create imagery that should be understood as visual systems, rather than purely as records per se.

Q&A With ODU Football's Matthew Carrillo
By ODU Athletics
Dec. 12, 2008
A weekly Q&A with an Old Dominion University football player
Tight End
La Mirada, Calif.
When did you begin playing football?
I started playing football at the age of 10 years old. (Flag Football)
Who has had the greatest impact on your career?
I'd have to say that my parents and grandparents have had the greatest impact on my career.
Why did you choose to attend ODU?
Well even before being offered I had heard about Old Dominion before and heard about its strong academic excellence as well. It's a great school to be involved with academically and socially.
What has been the biggest difference between high school football and college football?
The biggest difference from high school to college would have to be the size of the players and the speed of the game. Everybody is just as good as you are and equal athletically.
What has it been the best part about being a member of ODU's first football team in over 60 years?
The best part about being a part of this team is that I am a part of the first team in over 60 years and no matter what, nobody can take that away from me.
If you could play another position what would it be and why?
I would have to say defensive end. As a matter of fact, I think I can still play defensive end!
Favorite sports other than your own?
Definitely baseball and basketball. I played three sports in high school.
After meeting Coach Wilder for the first time, what were your thoughts?
I thought that coach was a man with a goal in mind. Not only to win games, but to let his players have the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom and leave ODU with a degree.
After meeting your position coach for the first time, what were your thoughts?
I felt that Coach Malloy was the type of coach that would push his players to their maximum potential and more. He expects a lot out of his players and expects us to give everything we got on and off the field.
Do you have a pre-game ritual, if so what is it?
I like to get to the field or locker maybe about an hour or so before everybody else and relax and think about what I need to do to help our team win. My iPod usually gets me going too.
What is your funniest memory from an ODU practice this far?
My funniest moment would be when Nick Mayers got smacked by the football machine that shoots balls out that we are suppose to catch. It can out to hard one time and smacked Nick in the head straight on!
If you could line up opposite any player in the NFL and go 1-on-1, who would it be and why?
I would have to say Mario Williams. I mean the guy is good, but I could pancake him.
What song is stuck in your head right now?
Justin Timberlake, "Cry me a river."
What is one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?
That I am Mexican American and from Los Angeles, CA.
What is your dream job?
My dream job would to be a professional football player without a doubt.
What is your most valued possession?
My most valued possession would have to be truck back at home!
What is your favorite place to eat on campus?
My favorite place to eat on campus would have to be Grill Works in the Webb Center. They make a mean crispy chicken burger!

I have a few specific posts I really want to get up here...but until that happens, here's a quick one. Recently, I've been asked by a few customers to do some re-texturing, swap-texturing, etc for my existing pieces. It's actually worked out really well, so I want to be sure to get the word out that customization is available at Second Spaces! I can switch one texture from this piece to that piece, or even start from scratch. Also, if you have a specific need that I haven't filled, BUT you like my style ;) then let me know what you need and I'm happy to give it a shot!
Here are just a few before & after shots of the custom work I've done:
The Drake sofa, the Chunky floor lamp, and the Lester chair as originally created, above. Below are the re-textures I did for my pal Roxie PIzzicato:
Then, for a new friend and valued customer, Lawra Fredrickson, I made some changes to the Marie living room set to match it to the Marie dining set. The first picture below is the original, followed by the customs for Lawra.

Romulus and Remus are sexy werewolf cousins with an unbreakable bond. When they meet beautiful goddess Amity and save her from an encroaching demon, they discover that the three of them together are way more powerful than any of them could ever have imagined. And they're going to need that power to overcome the forces that are determined to steal Amity's magic and destroy the two men. As different as night and day, and each an amazing man in his own right, Rom and Remy make all of Amity's deepest fantasies come true ...
The demon brushed a hand down her back, causing Amity to scream.
Sweet Mother Goddess, this was it. The demon would take her back to Aitás for Charun to consume her soul.
She did trip then. Her feet tangled together and she hit the ground hard. The air rushed from her lungs and starbursts flashed before her eyes as her head bounced off the paved surface of the trail.
Pain flared seconds later, beginning in her temples and radiating throughout her entire body. Still, she tried to scramble to her feet but only got to her knees when she felt a hand grab her shoulder.
"Steady there."
The masculine voice made her head snap up. She realized someone stood in front of her. A tall, masculine shadow whose face she couldn't make out in the darkness of the park but whose voice sounded so familiar.
"Are you ok—"
Amity pushed away the hand he'd extended toward her, terror making her shake. "You've got to run. Go now or you'll be killed."
His hand didn't move. "No, I don't think I will."
The certainty in his tone made Amity blink up at him in astonishment as she realized the man standing above her was Rom.
She opened her mouth to yell at him but felt a chill seep into her body that had nothing to do with the air temperature. Her time was up. The negative energy of the demon began to suck at her positive force, the energy that allowed her to heal those who needed it. If she lost too much of it, she would be no good to anybody.
"Well now, it looks like you've found a hero," the demon taunted. "How nice for you. He'll make a tasty snack for later, won't you, lucani?"
Lucani. She blinked up at Rom, standing so tall above her. He was an Etruscan wolf shifter? Why hadn't she realized that last night? Was Remy too?
How had she missed it?
Reaching down, Rom wrapped a strong hand around her arm and pulled her to her feet then drew her behind him.
"You'll have to break me first, demon." Rom's deep voice was filled with palpable menace. "And, trust me, you won't get the chance."
Peeking out from around his shoulder, Amity watched the demon emerge from the shadows, close enough now for her to see the whites of its eyes. Its body was nothing more than another dark shadow sliding through the night.
She shivered, the demon's menace surrounding them like a force field. Blessed Mother Goddess, this was no rank-and-file demon, she realized. This was no minion.
This demon had the blue skin and black hair as all tukhulkha demons did, but it also had small black horns erupting from its temples and curving back along its head. And she was sure, if it turned, she'd see the demon's black wings tucked behind it.
It was one of the few generals in Charun's army. A demon didn't earn horns or wings until it'd proven itself to Charun's exacting standards of pain and torment.
This situation became stranger every second.
Why would Charun risk sending one of his high-ranking demons to track her? She couldn't have fended off an attack from a regular demon, much less one with so much power. And how had Rom known she'd needed help?
"So cocky for a lowly dog." The demon's voice dripped with disdain, ripping across Amity's empathy like claws, making her breath catch at the pain. "But you'll bleed just like the rest."
Rom laughed and she detected absolutely no amusement in the sound. Or fear, for that matter. "I may bleed a little but you're the one who's going down. When I rip your throat out, you'll cry just like all those you've killed before."
The demon's head cocked to the side, its expression visible now that Amity's eyesight had adjusted. It looked contemplative and when a demon got that look on its face, you really should run the other way.
Because it was either thinking about eating you or tearing you into little bits in preparation to do so.
"We've met before, haven't we?" The demon put its hands on its hips, in a strangely feminine pose, making the hair on Amity's neck rise. "Have I eaten your loved ones? Possibly maimed a friend? How awful for you."
"All of the above, actually. And now you're going to pay."
Hope you enjoyed the excerpt.
If you haven't started the series yet, I hope you're intrigued enough to check out the first two books.

A serial killer. A hero to some. A wanted criminal to others.
The man who calls himself Vindici broke out of prison last year. Now he's filmed himself torturing and killing paedophiles in Liverpool's affluent suburbs.
Half the city are celebrating: the streets are now safer for their children. But for DCI Eve Clay and her team at the Merseyside Police, it's a nightmare. Their job is to solve crimes and lock up the killer – hard enough without being despised by the public they are trying to protect.
And now, just when they think they've cracked the case, they receive a photo of Vindici at a Day of The Dead parade in Mexico. If Vindici is 5,000 miles away, who are they hunting in Liverpool? DCI Eve Clay must draw on all her cunning to unmask a killer who is somehow always one step ahead.
My Q&A with Mark Roberts
Describe yourself using three words?
Triple I. Industrious Imaginative Individual
What inspired you to write your first novel?
I've always created stories and, from an early age, written them down. Writing my first novel was a logical step forward.
What time of day do you like to write?
During school term, I write from 4.30 pm to 7.30pm. During weekends and holidays. morning until mid-late afternoon.
What is your favourite book and why?
It's The Trilogy by Samuel Beckett. 'Molloy'. 'Malone Dies.' 'The Unnamable'. There are many mysteries in Beckett's work and his writing works on so many levels. It deals with the most profound philosophical question, in my view. What is it to be a human being?
How did you pick the title of your book?
The titles evolve from the stories. Blood Mist is set against foul winter weather conditions and there is a lot of bloodshed. Clay is driving through thick fog and sees a red traffic light, the visual effect being a blood mist. Dead Silent? I can't explain because it would give too much away. Day of the Dead comes from the Mexican festivities in the October-November time window. People celebrate their passed loved-ones and welcome them back.
Are the characters in your book based on real people?
Sister Philomena who Clay remembers well from her childhood and, who we meet through flashback, was based on a real Roman Catholic Nun of the same name. Back in the 1960s and 70s she used to help single mothers and mothers were struggling with PND.
I guess the majority of characters are an amalgam of people.
What's your favourite word?
Because. It's the door to understanding.
If you were a colour what would it be?
Sunset red.
Do you plan your story beforehand or go with the flow?
I write a document which I put in a drawer and never look at again. I go with the flow.
Who is your favourite author?
My all-time favourite is Edgar Allan Poe.
You are attending a dinner party with four fictitious book characters who would they be and why?
Will Graham the FBI agent from 'Red Dragon'. How do you square thinking like a serial with being a 'normal' man? When did you first become aware of your special talent and what was the process like?
Paul Sheldon the writer from 'Misery'. If I ever get abducted by an over-enthusiastic reader, how should I play it?
- Auguste Dupin the detective from 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' and 'The Purloined Letter'. What was it like inside Edgar Allan Poe's head?
Father Lankester Merrin from 'The Exorcist'. When did you first realise that you were a marked man? And why do you think The Devil picked on you?
What book are you reading at the moment?
'Stalkers' by Paul Finch.
Where in the world is your happy place?
If you had one superpower what would it be?
If you could give any literary villain a happy ending who would you choose?
Alex from 'A Clockwork Orange'. I'd have him getting lynched by his victims but then being laid to rest next to Beethoven.
Are you working on a new project?
I am working on 'Black Sun'. It's an Eve Clay novel and it's set in Liverpool. I'll leave it there if that's ok.
Do you have any upcoming events our members can attend?
12th July 6.30 pm Waterstones Liverpool One. I'm on a panel with four other authors talking about crime fiction.
You can purchase your copy here: Amazon

We need:
As the assembly is blended into the lifecycle when a release is being performed, the packaging is already assured.
Plugins can specify implementations of type handlers (and many will be in the core). These will indicate the packaging and classifier that they belong to. The default implementation will use packaging = type, no classifier.
Here, a simple call to project.attachArtifact( Artifact artifact ) is appropriate. In the specific use cases:
We want attachment of sources and javadoc to be the default, but we also want to configure in the attachment of various assemblies.
This will also depend on whether it is a snapshot build, or a release build as to what is actually attached. Profiles should help here.
We will introduce a a package-additional step after package, where this will occur (and they will use project.attachArtifact to trigger installation and deployment). Sources and javadoc will be enabled by default for jar:jar by the jar packaging lifecycle bindings. These will currently just check for the existence of SNAPSHOT as to whether they will do anything, but in future they should always do their task, and only be bound when in release mode (unless the user has specifically bound them somehow?)
Ref: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-257.
I'd like to work through any problems that might arise from the
differences between <packaging> and <type>. Below is the background,
problem statement, and design decision to rectify them. Please add any
additional problems you see, or issues with the design.
In Maven 2.0, projects are keyed uniquely on only groupId and artifactId
for considering what is a project (version does come into it for
determining different versions of a project).
A packaging is specified on pom.xml to signify how to build that
project, and what type of artifact it produces.
For a given packaging, it may produce multiple artifacts that share the
same project information - the main example used is an ejb that also
outputs an ejb-client. There are also some goals that will produce
artifacts from a given project - for example, the assembly/distribution
goals, javadoc and sources.
To be able to depend on only some of those artifacts, <type> on a
dependency may not match packaging - if you declare <type>ejb</type> you
only get the ejb, and if you declare <type>ejb-client</type>, you only
get the ejb-client JAR. The POM can always be located by the
groupId/artifactId/version combination (type is not present in the m2
repo, and the POM is always under /poms/ if using the old layout).
This also means that while type is not considered in whether an project
is unique, it is for a dependency - so you can download tld files with
the same name as the JAR they belong to.
This is pretty sound from general use cases, though there have been a
couple of problems to arise:
I believe this is ok. The naming was different to ensure it is clear
that they can be different, and packaging IS A SUBSET of <type>,
guaranteeing they can be handled consistently. Any value of packaging
should have 1 type that matches exactly, and possibly more types that
are associated with it. Any type has 0..1 matching packaging.
If a JAR is deployed, then a distribution is deployed - either the POM is
republished (so the snapshot is bumped up and the JAR is orphaned), or
it is not and the published dist is orphaned, or reuses the timestamp
which is not technically correct (especially as it may overwrite a
previous distribution).
Firstly, we differentiate types in the following way:
Untied objects can be manually attached, and tied objects can be manually detached. From this, it seems sensible that attachment is only a matter of configuration, with sensible defaults, rather than something specific in the design. Note that there are different scenarios: attachment by configuration is appropriate for ejb client, but when set it should always happen. For distributions, sources, etc it is appropriate to only attach at release - they do not need to be deployed for snapshots.
This ensures that a POM is always deployed and updated for every
deployment of anything, and that the primary artifact and anything tied
to it is never orphaned.
It can mean that under the default lifecycle, there will be no snapshots
deployed for a distribution, for example. This simply means you cannot
depend on a distribution where you can a JAR, unless it is tied, which
is reasonable.
This does not affect released artifacts, as they can be released at
different times and still have the same version.
It is envisaged that the type could encapsulate the extra information about the classifier. ie, ejb-client is a type that maps to the packaging ejb with the classifier "client".
However, there are a few interesting points here:
I am in favour of using type mappings, at least to start with. The positives are:

Small companies can't always afford to think outside the box. By rethinking the
box you already own and are use to we have saved small companies a ton of money.

Golden Path – Uralla NSW
Golden hour is one of my favourite times of day to shoot landscape photos. This lovely scene presented itself one very early morning on our recent trip to the New England region of New South Wales. It was literally a 90-degree turn from my Gostwyck Chapel Photo, roughly 10km from the town of Uralla, this short bridge leads from the road past the chapel to the Deeargee Woolshed, another historic building that one day I hope to photograph from the inside. This gold light and the low, early morning fog give this shot a dreamy look. Please keep an eye out for more pictures from this area.

The architecture and design connection between Los Angeles and Park City might not be immediately obvious – but to those in the film and entertainment industries (and for culture vultures in general) the two cities are inextricably linked. For a contemporary architecture firm with offices in both metropolises, Sparano Mooney Architects understands the rich, vibrant link and is excited that until January 29th, the 2017 Sundance Film Festival is previewing the most cutting-edge, avant-garde and downright awe-inspiring cinematic projects in venues across Park City, Salt Lake City, and Sundance Mountain Resort. Angelenos and Utahans will gather together for inspiration and we hope to see our friends in both locations in Park City, Utah this week...plus, if you want a break from the films we can show you some of our new modern residential design in Park City!
We love film and the craftsmanship that filmmakers and actors pour into their work; as architects, we understand the passion involved and can't wait to sample some of this year's offerings. Think you might be able to spot the next Little Miss Sunshine, Whiplash or Beasts of the Southern Wild? Need a break from the incessant powder on Utah's finest slopes? Then check out the 2017 Sundance Film Festival! Tickets are still available – visit www.sundance.org for more information. We hope to see you at a screening near you!

Alysha Hardy (Orange, Mass.) and Taylor Fidler (West Monroe, N.Y.) swept the novice western horsemanship class, turning in the top ride for each of their sections, before the Mustangs placed first in three of four sections in the intermediate II class.
Kaitlyn Newcomb (Webster, N.Y.), Courtney DiGirolomo (Rocky Point, N.Y.) and Michele Foland (Hudson, Mass.) each claimed the blue ribbon in the intermediate class for Morrisville State, followed by Sierra Diamond (Schoharie, N.Y.) with a top ride in the beginner western horsemanship class to round out class winners for the Mustangs.
In the afternoon show, Morrisville State rode to team reserve high point show honors as they collected 27 points. Cobleskill was show champion with 33 team points.
Blacey Bakutis (Kent, N.Y.) tied for reserve high point rider accolades, claiming third in open reining and second in open western horsemanship for the Mustangs.
Morrisville State again swept the novice class for a second time on the day, with Mikaela Cormier (Belchertown, Mass.) and Hardy taking home the blue ribbons.
The Mustangs had another show sweep in the intermediate western horsemanship II class, with wins coming from riders Stephanie Zajac (Belchertown, Mass.), Sabrina Glode (Gloversville, N.Y.), Samantha Rogers (Oakdale, Conn.) and Heather Perry (Goshen, N.Y.).
Diamond captured her second win of the day, topping the field in the beginner western horsemanship class.
Morrisville State returns to the riding arena, Sunday, February 19, hosting double show before hosting the IHSA Regional Championships on the 26th.

"We loved the Newton & Pott masterclass. Great, hands-on instruction in a relaxed format and a bag of goodies to take home too. I have actually pickled at home since too."
- Cerys Williams
"Kylee's master class is a must! I was bought the book & the class as a present and I'm so glad I went as it gave me the confidence to dive into the recipes on my own. We had a lovely day pickling and jam making and got to watch the queen pickler work her magic! I thoroughly recommend her classes."
- Clara Baker
"As a lover of food and hater of waste, this masterclass has given me the confidence to get preserving. Kylee's knowledge and passion are inspirational, and she makes what can seem a dark art, very doable, delicious and fun. The masterclass has given me a skill that will last longer than jam and the results shared with friends."
- Sarah Brown
"Not only did I leave Kylee's laden with five jars of her Cucumber and Beer Pickle, three jars of her Raspberry and Rose Jam and a generous side portion of life envy - but also an appreciation of the techniques that'll allow me to experiment away at home. Essentially, everything I was after."
- Carole Breen
"I really enjoyed meeting the lovely Kylee Newton at the Masterclass in April. She is such a talent - a font of knowledge which she is happy to share! She made the class fun and interesting and I learned a lot - who knew gin and cucumbers were a match made in heaven?? I wish Kylee continued success and urge you to buy her book, it will change your life!!!"
- Pauline Bryes
"The Newton and Pott masterclass was nothing short of wonderful - from my beautiful frilly apron to the armfuls of homemade pickles and jams we left with. Within an hour I had gifted a jar of each to a good friend - leaving me with a sense of gratification and he, warmth and gratitude - thus is the power of a good pickle. Kylee was a brilliant host while being a gentle and kind teacher. I have been singing her praises to anyone who will listen (and who've eaten my jam!) since."
- Zoe Cuthbertson
"I have booked marked about 20 recipes in Kylee's book The Modern Preserver and I'm so eager for particular fruits and vegetables to come in to season so I can start chopping them up! Thank you SO much Kylee, this was an absolutely wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon."
- Catherine Frawley (Blogger, www.borrowed-light.com/newton-pott-a-masterclass)
"Kylee's masterclass was such an enjoyable afternoon, made so much fun by her easy style of teaching and fun approach to the experience. It was so nice to meet new people over jam and pickle making, and the products we took away with us were beyond delicious. A definite must, thank you Kylee!"

Univision has taken full ownership of the television channel and digital media property, Fusion.
In a deal expected to close soon, Univision Communications Inc. bought out ABC's shares in Fusion -- which they co-founded in October 2013.
In turn, Univision will create the Fusion Media Group, which will include Fusion, El Rey, as well as The Root, The Onion, A.V. Club, Clickhole, Starwipe, Flama, Univision Digital and Univision Music.
ABC and Univision released the following joint statement on Thursday:
"We have reached an agreement to end our joint ownership of Fusion with UCI becoming the sole owner. Effective immediately, UCI will take over ABC's role in handling distribution and ad sales functions for Fusion's multi-platform network and have editorial control. The transition of ownership will happen once the transaction is completed, which is expected to be as soon as reasonably practical. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
Our companies have gained valuable knowledge from each other over the past several years and we are proud of what we have built together in a short period of time. The mutual bonds created between our teams will remain."
The Fusion TV channel launched on Monday, October 28, 2013 after its digital platform launched a week earlier on October 21. The news, lifestyle and pop culture network's programming included original reporting and "satire programming" aimed at young, English-speaking Latinos.

Peter-- Thanks for this comment. I believe this is roughly the same point you made in your review of the pre-last-call documents of 26 December 2002, where you said > The Primer starts the unfortunate blurring between RDF, a simple formalism, > and the entirely of human understanding in its talk about knowing the > ``exactly what is meant by'' http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator. It > would be much better to avoid anything in the Primer that even hints that > an RDF processor will be able (or, worse, required) to understand exactly > what is meant by such things, as their meaning includes a gigantic portion > that is outside of RDF. Can you confirm that? In my response to your original comment, I had said: > When I referred to a program "that understands > http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator" I was thinking in terms of a > program *written* to understand that particular term (or written to > behave according to that term's definition when it encountered it) > rather than a generic RDF processor that somehow sucked in that > "understanding". But I see how the problem you mention can arise. I'll > try to make that clearer (I think it's still necessary to mention > "programs", but I agree that the limitations of what "understanding" RDF > provides to those programs needs to be clarified). Do you believe that this sort of clarification will address the issue you raise? I generally understand your concern as being to clearly separate the meaning that RDF itself specifies from any additional meaning that has to be read into such tokens by humans (and programs they write based on that additional meaning). Is that correct? I'll run the actual proposed rewrite by you if you like (as soon as I come up with it). In accordance with the change recording process we're using, I had assigned your original comment a change id of #primerLCC-010. If you feel that this new comment is distinct from that one, could you please clarify the difference (and I'll add an additional change)? Thanks again. --Frank "Peter F.

The Arduino Drum Machine is a 14-track Drum-Machine Step Sequencer with 2 accent tracks and 32 steps. Check out the videos -- it's a lot easier to understand when you see it:
The Arduino Drum Machine is like the classic Roland TR707 but with some twists, as it actually has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps. The 2 note-step sequence feature allows you to do bass and/or synth lines -- it's a MIDI groove-box!
Here's a picture of the first prototype PCB: http://ruggedcircuits.com/images/adm_proto1.jpg
And here are some videos of the first prototype working with a Duemilanove:
Once we get a prototype into Wusik.com's hands (currently stuck in Brazilian customs) we'll post some cooler videos.
This project is a joint collaboration between Wusik.com and Rugged Circuits. We've taken the breadboard prototype of the drum machine shown in the videos and made it into a proper Arduino shield that plugs in on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, or Mega/Mega2560 (not included). The software performs all the drum machine functions, but you can always tweak it to do whatever you want (with the source code reward levels). We will provide sample source code at all reward levels showing basic usage of all hardware on the shield.
We've added EEPROM, FLASH, and expandability options and connectors. Suggestions from backers are welcome too (as long as they don't break the bank!)
And it's not just a drum machine: the hardware is a general-purpose MIDI development platform and playground. The awesome software from Wusik.com is what provides the drum machine functionality, but you can run any software you want on your Arduino to make use of the hardware.
Here are the project specs:
- Arduino shield (we're aiming for about 8" x 3") that plugs on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega, or Mega2560
- 512 kbytes of FLASH (beyond what's on the Arduino)
- 32kbytes of EEPROM (beyond what's on the Arduino), expandable to 128kbytes by adding more EEPROM chips
- 16 buttons with LED for each button
- 8 buttons for control functions (intended for up, down, left, right, shift, play, stop, record)
- 16x2 LCD with backlight
- MIDI IN and MIDI OUT interfaces
- System operation at 5V or 3.3V
- Designed to be compatible with Arduinos as well as Netduino and FEZ Panda
The Wusik.com drum machine software provides:
- 14 Drum Tracks + 2 Accent Tracks (a total of 3 MIDI-note velocities can be sent from each step)
- 2 Step-Sequence Tracks (each step has its own Note selection, Velocity is set by the accent tracks)
- Multi Pattern and Song Mode
- Number of Patterns and Songs depends on the total amount of system EEPROM -- the base system provision of 32kbytes of EEPROM has enough for 99 patterns and 99 songs
- Each pattern has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps and 14 tracks + 2 accent tracks
- Each track has a note-number and MIDI-channel number, so you can also use tracks to output regular notes (one note fixed per track)
- Optional MIDI echo
NOTE: International backers (outside the USA) PLEASE ADD USD$10 to your pledge for any reward levels that require shipping physical items (that is, $50 and up). These items will ship by US Priority Mail International and usually take 6-10 days to arrive (though it is not guaranteed). Shipping by courier companies like UPS or DHL is much more expensive but allows for shipment tracking -- please contact us for prices. Also please contact us for combined shipping prices for group buys and multiple-order pledges.

Hi everyone, here are some group picture of my Player Character and a NPC in our D&D games. All Reaper Miniatures models; 03492, Autumn Bronzeleaf Elf Wizard sculpted by Jeff Grace. Converted 77038, Hell Hound sculpted by Ben Siens. 02771, Lorus Hightower sculpted by Sandra Garrity. The elf wizard is one of my player characters, she's a wood elf druidess and I called her Kiarah Amanodel aka Moonflower. Her riding dog Khan was converted from a Hell Hound. And, Firecracker will be an important non-playing character in an opcoming campaign.
I hope you enjoy, comments and critiques are welcome.

Only used 8 colors for the troll. Base coated him in Reaper's troll flesh and harvest brown for the loincloth. Then a wash with citadel Nuln oil wash and Vallejo sepia wash for the cloth. Next a highlight of orc flesh over almost all of the muscles leaving just enough of the base and wash showing for the deep valleys of the muscles. Finally a glaze of troll flesh over the whole thing to blend it all together. Final touches were desert sand for the claws/teeth, coal black for the hair which was highlighted with Dark elf highlights and ogre flesh for the eyes. I think some of the new troll from Bones 4 have probably surpassed this old cave troll but one reason I like him is that he is the same size and almost the same look as the old DnD chainmail battered troll skeleton mini.

I got really sick for almost the whole month of June and it took me some time to get my strength back to paint again. I speed painted these guys this week to get my hands moving again.
I'm taking these to a weekend long gaming session this weekend. Then when I return it's back to getting ready for ReaperCon.
I hope you like my kobold army. It was fun to paint.
To be sure. That last photo isn't from Bones 4.

Position: Principal
School District: Pasadena ISD
School: Dr. Lewis Career & Technical High School
How has this person changed your life?:
I have known Mr. Fleming for 22 years now. He was my high school Chemistry teacher. Then, when I became a teacher (following his inspiration), he was our district science instructional specialist & I had the privilege of learning from him once more. Since HS, he has been my most favorite teacher. He always makes learning relevant & fun, but most importantly, he cares about his students & work family. He has been a very positive, inspirational role model over the years, and an exemplary, caring leader. He takes care of everyone, and makes working for him very emotionally rewarding. Our school's atmosphere is one of high expectations intertwined with love & trust, for all, students, faculty and staff alike. I am blessed to work with him, and continue learning from him. He is an amazing man that truly deserves this honor. He IS a Shining Star!
