Nobody had their head down. We just went out there and made the plays. We were just having fun " On the win: "It's a big win, our first road win in a while and we knocked off a top-ranked team, opening up Pac-10 play with a victory. It's big for a lot of reasons." KEITH PRICE On getting called to play: "I knew that we needed to score and coach Sark called up the perfect play and Iz (Chris Izbicki) made a good catch." On what Sarkisian told him: "Just settle down. I was a little excited coming back home to play and I knew I just needed to settle down and play." On the TD play: "Coach Sark said 'hey we are going to throw you a touchdown pass' and I was all for it." On what happened on the play: "That was one of my reads. My first read got banged up a little bit and I just carried my eyes to the back of the end zone and he was there." On doing it at home: "Sure, I always wanted to play here and play against these guys and I had a lot of fun. It was great." JERMAINE KEARSE On the importance of the win: "It was our first road win in a long time and we definitely needed this road win and it showed we can finish." On coming back after the Nebraska game: "We came back the bye week practices and we kept practicing hard and fighting and pushing." ERIK FOLK On USC calling time outs to ice him: "I wasn't really thinking about it. Before I went out I saw they had three time outs left but once I went out there I didn't really think about it at all." On the winning kick: "I could have hit it better but I felt like I hit it pretty well — it had a lot of height on it. But I could have hit it better, but I hit it well enough to go through." On how much confidence he has: "I'm feeling a lot better. My mindset has gotten a lot better from the beginning of last season to now. I'm a lot more confident in my swing and know that if I go out there and kick it I will make it." NICK HOLT On the defense: "We missed some tackles, and we should have made a few more plays tonight earlier that maybe would have made a bigger difference. But when it came down to it we made our plays, especially in the fourth quarter." NATE WILLIAMS On knowing they could play with USC: "We knew that we could coming in here because we had watched a lot of film on them and we knew they weren't the same team they had been in the past. We knew we had to just do our one job, individually, and everything would be all right." JAKE LOCKER On the win: "It's an awesome feeling and I was really proud of these guys." On his performance: "I had 10 other guys around me that make it a lot easier on me. I was really proud of how this football team played today and the positions we were able to put each other in. We trusted each other and believed in each other and played as a unit and the results were there." On the last drive: "I told the guys before the game 'hey man, let's go out and play like we did the last two games of the year (2009). Let's have confidence in each other and not be afraid to make a mistake and go out and play worry free. So when we got in the huddle I said 'I love you guys. We've got one more down to continue this drive and give ourselves a chance to win this game.' And there wasn't one guy in the huddle that thought we couldn't do it. I looked at each guy in the eye and saw confidence and that's why I think we were able to convert." On wanting to atone for the Nebraska game: "I was as eager as everybody else. It was a tough outing for us two weeks ago. To come out and start Pac-10 this way means a lot to this football team." On it being the biggest win of his career: "I think yeah, to come on the road and our road record being what it's been the last three years and to come into this stadium and with this football team to win in this fashion is awesome. It's exciting." On quieting criticism from the Nebraska game: "I don't pay attention to that stuff, It's not going to make me better or worse. You hear rumblings of it, obviously. I can promise you nobody was more frustrated with how I played than me. I was just excited to go out here and have an opportunity to compete with this football team." On what happened when he left the game: "I knew I was coming back in the game. I just got my bell rung. I got a little woozy and fortunately was able to come back." On a game like this making him glad he stayed: "Games like this and efforts like this are the reason why I did." On winning for Sarkisian at USC: "I think it was a big one for him and we all knew it and felt it. For him and a lot of guys like coach Holt (who have ties to USC) to be able to give them a win in this stadium is awesome." On the gameplan having more running in it for him: "It was a good gameplan and we executed it really well. … I thought we did a great job everywhere. Different teams pose different challenges and provide different areas of weakness and we do our best each week to exploit those." On the last drive feeling like last year: "Oh yeah, the whole situation." Comments

WorldatWork's Total Rewards conference kicked off on Monday in Minneapolis and we attended tons of sessions these past few days—feverishly recording everything we learned along the way to share with you. Here's a wrap-up of top 10 most interesting things we learned:
- Humanity in the workplace is a growing trend. In the session "Incentive Pay Design as an Enabler of Company Culture," Capital One presented their completely redesigned incentive pay program. It enables more humanity in the call center by empowering employees and creating happier customers.
- Recognition is an opportunity to drive bottom line business results. That's what we learned in "The Power of Thanks to Empower a Multigenerational Workforce: Sweet Success at Hershey." Cesar Villa, Director of Compensation Global Functions at The Hershey Company, shared some really powerful data on their Hershey's Smiles program. In just one year, this social recognition program has facilitated 50,000 recognition moments and boosted employee satisfaction on rewards and recognition by 11%. More on that in an upcoming blog post!
- More individual, customized employee rewards are the future. In the Total Rewards 2020 session, Steven Gross, Senior Partner at Mercer, said managing five generations in the workforce requires sensitivity to varying generational needs.
- The #1 factor people would like to see in a potential employer is employee recognition. And according to Aon Hewitt, 1 out of 2 employees get too little recognition. Employees are craving appreciation and a more human workplace.
- Emotional intelligence is key to success at work. Bobi Seredich, co-founder at Southwest Institute for Emotional Intelligence, shared that emotional intelligence accounts for more than 2 times IQ and technical skills combined as a predictor of success.
- In the same vein, we need to focus on building relationships in the workplace. Bobi Seredich shared that emotional connection at work and successfully influencing others requires coaching, communicating, and empathizing with coworkers and direct reports.
- Data. Data. Data. Steven Gross from Mercer said that HR decision-making is moving from "I think" to "I know." More powerful, predictive modeling will help us manage total rewards in 2020.
- Spot awards are gaining momentum. According to a Globoforce and Hay Group study, the #1 priority for spot awards is aligning the program to a company's core values. And more and more, companies are using spot awards to reward and celebrate innovation.
- Talent management will be much more aggressive in the 2020 workplace. Steven Gross predicts more frequent performance assessments with annual ratings to really develop internal resources.
- Incentives are not enough to change behaviors in the workplace. In his session, "Tips to Overcome Employee Inaction," Stephen Wendel, Principal Scientist at HelloWallet, said when we communicate with employees, we need to really understand what connects with them. Our communication should be a conversation, not an announcement.

Carol Hageman, Children's Author
A fun story and educational in nature, it is my mission to promote adoption and proper care of desert tortoises, help children appreciate and develop an interest in science-related topics about the Sonoran desert.
Inspired by her lifelong love of wildlife and the outdoors, first-time author Carol Hageman has written a book that's enjoyable for children up to and including third grade. Based loosely on animal behavior Hageman observed in real life, Bubby's Puddle Pond: A Tortuga's Tale of the Desert is an adventure about how to get along with others while finding one's own strengths. Currently living in Tempe, Arizona, in her free time Hageman practices yoga, reads and is a Master Gardener.
What's the one most important thing you want readers to get out of your book?
By writing this book, it is my hope that children will learn about the importance of friendship, sharing and being brave. In addition, the back of the book provides facts about the Sonoran and the Mojave desert tortoises. The story ties in with the facts as a reference. There is a good deal of information that will help students understand the lifestyle and habitat of the tortoise. Adoption information is also included. New words are introduced, pertaining to the desert tortoise habitat, highlighted in red and then defined in a glossary. A curriculum guide is provided for teachers and educators for use in the classroom. Supplemental work sheets and color sheet can be downloaded from the website at: www.NinaStoryBooks.com
I want to pass along my lifelong curiosity and enthusiasm to today's young readers — many of whom may never have seen an animal in the wild. I hope to bring awareness to the fact that, the Sonoran desert tortoise is protected by law and we do not want to see it become endangered like the Mojave desert tortoise.
What makes you an authority on the subject of your book?
Our family owned a desert tortoise named Bubby, and I observed his behavior while gardening. I worked with the Arizona Game & Fish Department to develop the facts about the desert tortoise. I have since partnered with the AZG&F Tortoise Adoption Program to promote adoption and care of the gentle creatures. One dollar of every book sold is donated to the adoption program. AZG&F invited me to their opening day of the adoption season, which runs from April to September.

Speaking Engagements and School Presentations:
I am flexible and do presentations that are suitable for kindergarten to 3rd grade.
Presentation 1: I speak to the students about what it takes to produce a book. I purchased all of the art work for the book, including, pencil and ink sketches and the final watercolors. I walk them through the process and explain the copyright page, dedication page, etc. then, I read the story and answer questions. The sketches and art work are displayed on a table for the children to view up close.
Presentation 2: I read the book to the students and education them about the facts in the back of the book. We discuss the wild desert tortoise habitat and compare it to the adopted (captive) desert tortoise. Answer questions. Hand out color sheets.
Presentation 3: I am a Master Gardener and am a big proponent of pollinator gardens to benefit butterflies, bees and birds. Much of what is planted in the pollinator garden is suitable for the desert tortoise habitat. I discuss how they complement one another. Hand out sheet provided with suitable plant material to attract pollinators and provide food for the desert tortoise. Story is read prior to discussion.
Presentation 4: Introduce children to the art aspect of book illustrations. Start with question...how many students like to draw, read, write?
Talk about the different mediums in the art world. Including, illustrations in a book. Mention the graphic design work that goes into producing a book. Further the discussion, by helping students understand the book production process. Encourage them to develop their love for reading, writing and art. Someday they may become artists, authors, or work in an area of book production.
Read the story and answer questions. Have the children get close and view the sketches and watercolors.

Four tips on braiding past and present – Amy Mason Doan
By Amy Mason Doan
The Summer List has three strands — the 1990s, when my characters, Laura and Casey, are in high school, 2016, when they reunite as adults, and a mysterious storyline that's set deeper in the past.♥
It's challenging to weave together three equally-compelling storylines without confusing the reader, giving away too much, too soon, or hitting word-count issues. There were many days when I wished I'd chosen a less ambitious structure for my first novel. Who did I think I was, Michael Cunningham crafting THE HOURS? (The Pulitzer Prize-winning 1998 book is a brilliant example of a triple-braided storyline.) My story sometimes seemed as messy as the braid in my daughter's hair after a busy summer day.
But I forged ahead, and now I often get asked how I managed to fuse three storylines together effectively. Here are my best tips:
1. Plan.
I started by jotting down rough scene descriptions on index cards and laying them out on my living room carpet. Each strand was a different color — the mystery story was gray (fitting for scenes that were dreamy and shadowy; I'm a little obsessive that way). The 1990s/teenage chapters were neon pink (wild!), and the 2016/adult chapters were blue (mature, to suit 35-year-old Laura and Casey).
The cards gave me a bird's eye view of the entire story, which made the idea of writing 95,000 words seem less scary. And they helped me figure out where the different sets of emotional beats were, and where I could connect them for the most effective pacing and payoff.
2. Be prepared to rip up your plan.
This is true of any writing, but it can feel especially painful with a braided-timeline story, where the triple load of "book math" (ages, dates, world events) can feel limiting. After I finished the first draft, I took three weeks off and then read the novel straight through in one sitting. I realized that too many revelations were shoehorned into the end of the book, and that they'd need to be pulled forward and spaced out. This was a huge amount of work, but I didn't want my reader to feel pummeled by "reveals."
Pulling some of the big moments forward allows the reader to process emotions and relax into the story again before the next twist. I highly recommend Scrivener, which makes dragging scenes around easier. You don't want to be afraid to experiment. When my editor at Graydon House, Melanie Fried, bought the book and wisely saw that the story still wrapped up too quickly, I converted the manuscript back to Scrivener so that we could test different scene placements.
3. Add hinges.
That's what I call the links between storylines. These can be settings, words, or even feelings. For The Summer List, I wanted the different timelines to speak to and enrich each other, not to live in isolation.
One obvious hinge in is a scene where the adult Laura and Casey visit the old skating rink. This leads directly into the scene where they skate there as teenagers. A subtler hinge is laughter in a past chapter directly preceding a light moment in the present. These links can help make the novel feel whole and increase the reader's eagerness to see how the three plots come together at the end.
4. Fresh readers are crucial.
With three threads, I knew I had three times the potential to confuse readers. I wanted them to wonder, and I wanted them to be desperate to find out how everything tied together, but I didn't want them to be confused simply because I hadn't done my job.
So it's important to hear honest feedback from beta readers. Was the seeding of information too subtle, or too obvious? Were they rushing through one storyline to get to another that was more intriguing? If there are problems, give yourself a few days to sob and mourn. Then see Tip #2.
The novel I'm revising now has another braided past-present storyline, but only two strands. One less timeline to worry about! The luxurious simplicity of it — fitting the scenes together should be easy, right? Uh…nope.
But when I find myself despairing, I look at my multicolored stack of notecards for The Summer List. If they led to a cohesive story, I can create one again.

Here we are on the right as we approach the dock. Plenty of sunshine and very warm today.
and off to see the island. The island is famous for pine trees, but to me this is a Christmas
|Sunset, our first night.
|Enjoy a meal on the seashore.
and just a little reminder, people are not honest and if you are not careful they will
charge you more than the item is worth. It is a shame that the world is like this now

Information Sheet No. 3: Petitions
The right of citizens to petition their elected representatives for redress of a grievance is based on centuries-old tradition and precedent.
Petitioning the Crown (and later Parliament)…originated in the time of the thirteenth-century monarch Edward I. Petitioners had recourse to the Crown's prerogative power, which was above the law…In medieval times…Receivers and Triers of petitions appointed by the Crown travelled the country to hear the complaints of the people. Certain matters would be referred to local courts by the Triers but others would be found appropriate for consideration by the High Court of Parliament. 1
Today petitions are a way members of the public can bring their concerns to the attention of elected representatives. In this way petitions can influence government policies and the laws passed by the Yukon Legislature.
Presenting a Petition to the Yukon Legislative Assembly
A petition must be presented to the Assembly by a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) during a sitting day. In doing so the MLA is answerable for any improper material in the petition. The MLA presenting a petition must endorse it either by signing the petition or by signing a statement stating that the petition contains "proper matter for consideration by the Yukon Legislative Assembly."
A petition can be presented in two ways. The MLA may send the petition to the Clerk's Table at any time during the sitting day. Or the MLA may present the petition during that part of the daily routine called 'Petitions.' If the MLA presents the petition during 'Petitions' he or she may make a brief statement about the petition, including the subject of the petition, the number of signatures, and the redress requested by the petitioners. The MLA presenting the petition may read the text of the petition, but cannot make any statement in favour of, or against, the petition as there is no debate allowed at this time.
The Form and Content of a Petition
A petition must be addressed to the Legislative Assembly, state a grievance and ask that the Assembly do something about the grievance.
A petition can be printed or hand written, but the signature of at least three petitioners must be on the sheet that contains the statement of grievance. The petition must contain original signatures. Photocopied or faxed pages, or electronic petitions are not accepted. Petitioners do not have to give their address, phone number or other contact information. Petitions do not have to be dated. Anyone can sign the petition. Signatories do not have to be Canadian citizens or Yukon residents.
A petition can ask for an expenditure or grant of public funds. A petition can also address an issue that has been delegated to another body by the Legislative Assembly. However, the petition can not ask the Assembly to exercise authority it has delegated to another body.
There are other limits on petitions. For example, the language of a petition must be respectful, and though the remedy asked for would mean a change of government policy, it cannot express opinions about the government, the Assembly or MLAs. Also, a petition cannot contain a charge against a person. A petition cannot ask the Assembly to act outside the powers it has under the Yukon Act. Neither can a petition challenge an MLA's election to the Assembly. The courts deal with matters like this under the Elections Act.
To the Yukon Legislative Assembly:
This petition of the undersigned shows:
THAT [here state reason for submitting petition]
THEREFORE, the undersigned ask the Yukon Legislative Assembly
to [state such action as may be desired].
Receipt of the Petition
On the sitting day following the presentation of a petition the Clerk of the Assembly presents a report on the petition. If the Clerk reports that the petition is in order it is considered "read and received" by the Assembly and becomes part of the Assembly's permanent records.
Debate on a Petition
MLAs are not allowed to debate the Clerk's report to the Assembly. An MLA can, however, ask that the Clerk read the petition to the Assembly. A petition that complains of some present personal grievance requiring an immediate remedy may be debated at this point. But that is up to the Members of the Assembly. Petitioners can not demand an immediate debate.
Ministerial Response
The Assembly's rules require that the government respond to every petition that is deemed "read and received." A government minister must give this response, orally or in writing, in the Assembly, within eight sitting days of the presentation of the petition to the Assembly. An oral response to the petition can not last more than five minutes. Opposition Members can not speak to the petition at this time.

Rebecca Pinnington reports on a radical effort to catalyse change at UCL
12 left-leaning political groups have come together to threaten UCL with a day of action: a day that may live on embarrassingly in the memory of the college, the press, and prospective students. Campaigners from groups including the NUS Black Students Campaign, the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, the Radical Housing Network, Fossil Free UCL, and the Student Assembly Against Austerity are hoping the event will receive national press coverage, and show UCL their demands cannot continue to be ignored. The demonstration will take place on 3rd and 4th July, both of which are open days for prospective students. The organisers are expecting an attendance of around 500 protesters.
In a post on Fossil Free UCL's tumblog, the different groups have set out a series of demands. These include divestment from UCL's £21million fossil fuel investments, proper compensation for students who have been pushed to rent strike due to "unliveable conditions", and the reinstatement of Philosophy academic Dr. Nathaniel Coleman, whose contract was not renewed this year, purportedly due to his criticism of the whiteness of the Philosophy curriculum.
It's not news that students have, especially in the past year, been left dissatisfied with the college. Rent strikes have been ongoing in some student halls since 8 May, to which UCL responded with threats to prevent graduation and re-enrolment. The college subsequently withdrew the threats due to their illegality, and attempted to reconcile dissident students with, bizarrely, a barbecue. Although threats have been dropped, Halls and Accommodation Representative David Dahlborn told Pi, "We've still got to win the strike", and that there was much work still to be done. The petition to reinstate Dr. Coleman has been live for over three months, and is supported by a large coalition of students of colour and their allies.
Fossil Free UCL has demanded divestment for years, with prominent protests such as November's die-in on Tottenham Court Road and February's love-in, when protesters stripped off and covered themselves in 'oil' outside a UCL Council meeting. The organiser of the love-in, David Powe, told Pi in February, "Our campaign is only going to get louder!" This event is definitely louder, and more unfortunate for UCL.
A UCL spokesperson confirmed that while peaceful protest would be tolerated, this should not prevent others from going about their business, and should not prevent prospective students from accessing the open days.
This protest doesn't look set to be violent or destructive, but it certainly looks set to be big. A Facebook event organised by the Radical Housing Network (RHN) with almost 400 attendees encourages participants to "bring noise and smoke" [sic], and it's safe to assume that if large numbers are in attendance, the demonstration will be unavoidable.

I am an alien.
Okay, not really, but have you ever been surrounded by people and just felt so odd, so out of place, so DIFFERENT? Maybe it's because I was homeschooled or because I was sexually abused as a child but I've spent a lot of my life feeling like I didn't fit in with other girls. It's a common notion for sexual abuse survivors that their damage has somehow rendered them permanent outsiders, jarringly dark and twisted. They feel as though their identity is in pieces, like they're forever changed, forever black sheep. They learn to develop masks to fit every situation, becoming amazing chameleons with the intent of always fitting in and never standing out. Too much attention is scary. Too much attention makes you vulnerable. We just want to be like everyone else. Please don't let them notice how different I am.
Today I sat in a room full of lovely, amazing women sharing their stories and their lives and again I thought, I am an alien. My life is admittedly strange. I don't know anyone in my immediate circle with a journey as complicated and medically involved. People ask, "How are you?", "How are the kids?" They are truly being nice and I desperately want to answer, but I know too well that after 5 seconds of the real answers, their faces will go blank. They don't understand. How could they?! 6 French, PEEP of 5, craniotomy vs. craniectomy... I wouldn't understand it if I didn't live with it.
I am an alien.
There's no way to communicate the nuances of my day without boring or confusing people, so I try to be vague (it just comes off as awkward) and hurry away. Clearly, this doesn't bode well for building or maintaining friendships with anyone other than my close family and a few select nurses and therapists.
This is where social media comes in. My hermit-esque life plays nicely into social media. I can share just enough and have just enough contact with the outside world that I don't feel like I'm disappearing into the four white walls of my living room and yet I'm not cornered in any way. I've come across other medically involved mamas who I just want to join at the hips with and they've become like my long distance family. I read their posts and suddenly I'm no longer an alien, or if I am, it means we're aliens together. They get it. They're on this crazy ride too.
Last night I posted about exclusive pumping and I couldn't believe how many women commented and direct messaged me with their own stories. YOU GUYS ARE OUT THERE! You're up at night as well, thinking of ways to pass the time while pumping, scrolling through social media, trying to get your mind off of that nauseating, rhythmic clicking of the breast pump. Gag me, amiright?!
Back to today, I sat in that group of women and I wondered how many other women in there felt like aliens as well? Maybe they were struggling with infertility and crying silent tears over their recent miscarriage, but they already had a couple healthy children so they don't feel allowed to complain. Maybe their marriage is struggling for any of the millions of reasons that marriages fall apart, but they wouldn't dare share and acknowledge the shame and feelings of failure. Maybe they were in any personal crisis that they assumed no one else would understand and feeling like the ONLY PERSON IN THE ROOM who didn't belong.
Bull-freaking-butter, babes. You're not alone. I'm not alone. Open your mouth, find your fellow aliens and hold on like your life depends on it. There are so many trach mamas and amazing trach babies; so many NICU mamas who understand the ins and outs of long-term hospital life; there are pumping mama warriors all over the world right there with me in spirit; there are girls grieving stillborn babies, empty wombs and empty arms; single mamas, not complaining and still kicking butt and taking names; girls with autoimmune diseases, handling life as it comes at them; moms of twins learning to juggle it all; new moms who feel the anxiety and exhilaration of every one of their baby's "firsts", some of them far away from home and feeling every inch of that distance.
They're out there, your people. You just have to open your mouth, share where you are and find your tribe. There is strength in numbers and inspiration when you feel like you're faltering. There are women (or men) facing your same battles who understand the weirdness of your life and would love to stand in your corner.
You are not alone. Find your tribe. If that fails and you're still think you're an outsider, come sit by me. We'll make our own tribe.

Molecular Tapas Bar
I sometimes learn about things in Tokyo via circuitous routes. The Daily Yomiuri has a regular section on Sundays that's produced by the Times of London. Today's issue had a column by Richard Lloyd Parry. His rhetorical goal is to show that Tokyo is getting its mojo back, like the days of the Bubble. Parry mentions people eating sushi off the bodies of naked beauty queens during the height of the Bubble. Personally, I suspect that's some sort of urban legend morphed from a scene involving live shrimp in Itami Juzo's Tampopo, though I could be wrong.
Parry's column is primarily about dinner at the Molecular Tapas Bar at the Mandarin Oriental. Food from test tubes, by chef Jeff Ramsey. If Tokyo can support food this challenging and decadent, it's back, right?
Food from test tubes? I am so there. While it doesn't sound quite as avant-garde Homaro Cantu's Moto in Chicago, which I haven't had the pleasure of trying yet, this will definitely be an interesting experience.
Our reservations are for July 2nd (they weren't as hard to get as Parry would have you believe). Stay tuned for a report.
P.S. Parry mentions longing for a MOSburger, and compares it to McDonald's, but in fact MOSburger was started after the owner-to-be visited Tommy's.

Family Portrait Shoot on the Beach 1 Originally uploaded by Emanon Photography
It's been awhile since I last had a blog post sometimes things just get a little hectic around here. I had actually started a blog post a couple weeks ago just after my post reviewing the iPad but I could not get the pictures to work as I was trying to write the blog and post the pictures from my iPad. Posting shots to flickr then using the blog it feature there seems to work a bit better for me, then I can type up the blog posts like this one on my iPad while my computer does other things like it is right now (uploading the hi-res retouched version of Mondays shoot to my sales gallery site.).
So on the this picture. Monday's shoot was great the family I was shooting was in town visiting New Smyrna Beach on vacation. I met them at North Beach Community Park which is one of my favorite locations to shoot at the beach because it is pretty centralized in NSB, it's not nearly as crowded as some of the other beach parks and it offers natural sand dunes as a background. I took a lot of shots in several locations as the sun was just starting to drop below some clouds to the west. This is one of my favorite shots from this shoot. I got lucky with the clouds in the fact that they were there. The last shoot I did here there were almost no clouds an the background was a haze/sea mist filled sky. I like this pic, but felt the clouds real made some thing of it, and I thought it would make for a good bw conversion so i just started playing around with some of the b/w presets in aperture3 until I found a really contrasty effect which almost silhouettes the family. I have another version of this which was taken in the vertical position you can see that one my clicking on the photo and going to my flickr photo stream.

The Samantha Project (The Samantha Project Series #1)
Seventeen-year-old Samantha has a seemingly perfect life; great parents, early admission to Stanford, and her boyfriend, Colin, quarterback of the football team and the hottest guy in school. But a shocking secret from her past turns her world upside down.
Sam discovers she's part of a global corporation's genetic enhancement project. Just as she's learning what these enhanced genes can do, the corporation decides they want her, and the technology hidden inside her, back.
During a heart-pounding race to flee from her pursuers, she encounters Erik, another person who was part of the experimental project. From the instant they meet they share an indescribable attraction to each other. Together they're in even greater danger and a rogue scientist discovers a deadly secret lies inside them.
The Golden Couple (The Samantha Project Series #2)
In this action-packed second installment of The Samantha Project series, Samantha and Erik go on a search to find a way to save themselves from the genetic time bomb ticking away in their cells. Along the way, they discover a shocking secret that changes everything.
Although Samantha's boyfriend, Colin, is back now, she can't deny her feelings for Erik. It isn't long before she learns the real reason why she can't resist Erik. But only after she's gone too far with him. So far that Colin may never forgive her.
GlobalLife Genetics continues to pursue Samantha and they'll stop at nothing to get her. Sam still doesn't understand GlobalLife's plan for her but she knows it's something big. And she knows it isn't good.
A Chosen Destiny (The Samantha Project Series #3)
Samantha's destiny was chosen long ago. At least that's what she's told by the people who created her. Her enhanced genes and genetic software were meant to do everything from mold her personality to pick who she falls in love with.
But can destiny be changed? Ever since Samantha learned the truth about herself, she's struggled to figure out who's really in charge of her life. Can she make her own choices? Or is her future determined by her genes?
Old enemies reappear and new ones emerge as Samantha and Erik use their powers to fight the people who are after them. But it's getting harder to figure out who's good and who's evil. The enemy they've been fighting may not be the one who's truly after them.
Clutch~Fledge~Flight (1,152 pages) – the first three books in the epic science fiction fantasy saga that spans five full length novels and one novella. The final book, RETURN, will be released on December 2, 2013.
Nineteen year old Rural Republic sniper, Junco Coot, has been lied to. Not once or twice, but pretty much everyone she ever trusted is totally full of sh*t. And now her father is dead, she's on the run, and everyone wants a piece of her—including one winged alien warrior named Tier.
But the truth always catches up and Junco has to choose who she should trust. The people who have lied and trained her to kill since she was a small child? Or the warriors who want to steal her away and use her as the catalyst in a plot to fight the final battle in an ancient war?
It's a choice that will change her fate forever. And once it's made—there's no turning back. Life becomes nothing but brutal killing in the name of vengeance. But everything requires sacrifice—everything has a price. And Junco is about to find out what it means to dedicate herself to saving someone else.
Junco is not young adult. She has a foul mouth and violent tendencies.

What is the different between these 2 version? There are 2 main different:
1. International version equipped with quad-core Exynos CPU, while Sprint/US version come with dual-core krait CPU
1. International version equipped with 1GB of RAM, which Sprint/US version come with 2GB of RAM.
See the comparison video made by pocketnow.com.
Looks like there is not much different and the result is not consistent, meaning there is no clear winner here.
For me, I will either choose to buy Samsung Galaxy S 2 or Samsung Galasy S Advanced because their price drop significantly after S 3 came out, so this should be a good time to get them.

North Shore Cattle House
As I grow older, I do not get to visit my stomping grounds as often. With the holidays coming around the corner, I have been frequenting home in my thoughts. One of my most cherished places on Maui, is the Cattle House.
I have written about this place before, and I probably will again. The minute the aircraft's wheels hit the ground, I am itching to get to my spot. I try my absolute best to make it atleast once per visit, but I always find myself wishing I went more.
It is perfect for thinking, tanning, and talking.
The Cattle House is my favorite place to bring my family and friends. It is my little public secret that I cannot wait for you to experience as well. I have an abundance of photographs to show you and I am currently booking my ticket home for winter break.
Stay tuned!

"Neither of us cares a straw of popularity. Let me cite one proof of this: such was my aversion to the personality cult [orig. Personenkultus] that at the time of the International, when plagued by numerous moves […] to accord me public honor, I never allowed one of these to enter the domain of publicity. . . ."
Personality cult is a system wherein a human being is projected as a larger-than-life entity with all the trappings of greatness, perfection and supremacy. It is basically a deification of an individual person deemed extraordinary and whose heroic exploits have captured the imagination of the masses in a particular socio-political climate. The central figure in a personality cult is generally viewed by the adulatory multitude as an impeccable paragon of a revered hero who personifies their ideals, wishes and dreams more especially in times of national adversity, political disarray and socio-economic crisis. The hero of a personality cult is an "anointed leader" believed to be endowed with super-human power to redeem the impoverished and disempowered masses from the exploitative machination of evil forces that dominate a particular social condition.
Personality cult strongly reflects the persistent need of the social human for a visible personification of power conceived as the convergence point of personal inspiration, political authority and institutional structure without which social breakdown spontaneously seeps in to fully destroy the cultural legacy of a people. Personality cult is therefore a vehicle that generates and promotes the exemplary deeds and godlike preeminence of a supposed national "savior" tasked to liberate his people from tyranny, exploitation and oppression and lead them to "the promised land," so to speak. Evaluating the marked trails and dramatic lessons of world history, some personality cults appreciatively lived up to the people's expectations and successfully effected the anticipated consequences while others faltered and failed as their erswhile heroes carried their sullied names to the tragic graves of ignominy.
On a positive note, many personality cults in history spearheaded the revivification of otherwise dying socio-political orders and even toughened their institutional configurations through the dedicated and passionate activism of the people whom these personality cults had consistently inspired. History in different epochs has witnessed the emergence of extraordinary personalities whose leaderships are not simply acknowledged but extolled, glorified and even immortalized by the next generations. These heroic personalities remain and will always remain to be a galvanizing factor to rally the people into action whenever there is a threat of disintegration and destruction, both internal and external. In many instances, their influence is not solely political but likewise cultural.
It has been constantly observed that if and when such inspirational impact has reached the cultural level, its overarching centrality does not only infuse the sentimental infrastructure of a nation but moreso, the spiritual fiber of every responsible citizen that meaningfully constitutes such a nation. Distinguished from legal authority and traditional authority, eminent classical sociologist and philosopher Max Weber calls it "charismatic authority" in chapter 3 of his Economy and Society: An Outline of Interpretive Sociology (edited by Gunther Roth and Claus Wittich) [http://www.public.iastate.edu/~carlos/607/readings/weber.pdf] entitled "The Types of Legitimate Domination". On pages 125-126, Weber writes:
There are three pure types of domination. The validity of the claims to legitimacy may be based on:
1. Rational grounds – resting on a belief in the legality of enacted rules and the right of those elevated to authority under such rules to issue commands (legal authority).
2. Traditional grounds – resting on an established belief in the sanctity of immemorial traditions and the legitimacy of those exercising authority under them (traditional authority); or finally
3. Charismatic grounds – resting on devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism or exemplary character of an individual person, and of the normative patterns of order revealed or ordained by him (charismatic authority).
In the case of legal authority, obedience is owed to the legally established impersonal order. It extends to the persons exercising the authority of office under it by virtue of the formal legality of their commands and only within the scope of authority of the office. In the case of traditional authority, obedience is owed to the person of the chief who occupies the traditionally sanctioned position of authority and who is (within its sphere) bound by tradition. But here the obligation of obedience is a matter of personal loyalty within the area of accustomed obligations. In the case of charismatic authority, it is the charismatically qualified leader as such who is obeyed by virtue of personal trust in his revelation, his heroism or his exemplary qualities so far as they fall within the scope of the individual's belief in his charisma.
In Weber's view, the "charismatic authority" in personality cult is something positively taken as a necessary factor in exigent historic moments of national significance. Charismatic authority inspires people to solidify their commitment to a noble cause and goads them to act courageously regardless of conceivable risks. In such circumstance, personality cult shines on and enriches the cultural memory of a nation.
However, personality cult is not always a promising condition. In the modern world dominated by mass media, personality cults have been generated and blown out of proportion by media propaganda with all the manipulative components they intend to spell out Such method of exaggerating the personal character of a projected hero is aimed for the purpose of raising an agenda that promotes the chief interest of an emerging political group or alliance. This type of personality cult endeavors to condition the minds of people to toe the political line of the sponsoring party until the majority of them have been brainwashed to the hilt. Propaganda fraught with lies and deceptions is the most effective tool to advance a personality cult and once such is already firmly established on the political landscape, the state of affairs begins to get bad and then worse in gradual phase. Absolute obedience to the personality cult becomes the order of the day to the extent that the exploitative forces behind such cult resort to atrocious means to fully control the people who at this point are no longer treated as allies but vassals.
The downside of personality cult is in the formulation of a narrative that praises a fabricated hero with all the distinguished and illustrious characters of an ideal one despite the reality that such substandard personality doesn't measure up to the qualities of the ideal. The superficiality of this type of personality cult reveals in time all the recognizable flaws of an incompetent leader whose acts of national magnitude are generally inimical and hence detrimental to the people's overall circumstances. Lessons of history present to us personality cults that didn't actually emanate from the people but were pure "contrivances" of political sectors whose chief objective was solely to dominate the national political landscape. In the final analysis, we have seen personality cults emanating from the people as well as those who just emerge out of nowhere and people only get to know them as they are rabidly pushed, sponsored and promoted by interest groups. This in my opinion is the most obvious frontier that distinguishes the positive type of personality cult from the negative.

Over the years we've heard interesting stories from neighbors down in Andersonville about coyote sightings in the area. With the 10 million adorable little bunnies hopping all around Edgewater Glen, it got us wondering… has anyone ever noticed a coyote in the neighborhood?
If you are curious about the scientific research going on about urban coyotes in Chicago, have a look at National Geographic's Downtown Coyotes: Inside the Secret Lives of Chicago's Predator or On the Loose: Urban Coyotes Thrive in North American Cities. There is some especially cool Chicago coyote footage (from the coyote's perspective) of them looking both ways before crossing the street with their maracas in the National Geographic Crittercam video.
"The animals have altered their natural behavior to accommodate living in close quarters with people. Unlike wild coyotes, for example, Chicago's uber-urban coyotes are nocturnal, coming out when most people have gone home; have learned to travel and cross busy roads regularly; and maintain huge yet fragmented territories, according to new data from coyotes outfitted with a GPS collar or a Crittercam, a National Geographic camera that attaches harmlessly to animals."
"People in Chicago have shifted their opinions about coyotes to primarily acceptance. That doesn't mean that they are thrilled they are here, but they are not that quick to remove them like they used to,' Gehrt said." – Downtown Coyotes: Inside the Secret Lives of Chicago's Predator

Through the last few months of 2015, the bond between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz appeared to be unbreakable. Even as Trump called Cruz names, made uncomfortable comments about various ethnic groups, and complained about Cruz's parents, the senator stood by his man, in the hope that he might snatch up his supporters, or at least be his running mate. Over the holidays it became obvious that their relationship had run its course, but Cruz only came to that sad realization during last week's debate, when he was forced to clap as Trump expertly rebutted his "New York values" jab with a 9/11 reference. Here's a replay:
Now, after a few days of soul searching and passive-aggressive sniping, the Trump-Cruz bromance is officially over. Sunday on ABC's This Week, Trump unloaded on Cruz, saying, "He's a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him."
On Monday morning, Cruz tried his usual coping method:
But this time, confusing pop-culture references and obliquely criticizing Trump in conversations with journalists wouldn't do the trick. So at an event in Whitefield, New Hampshire, on Monday night, Cruz shifted gears, directly attacking Trump in a speech to voters. Cruz went after one of the central tenets of the businessman's campaign: that no one has a more extreme position on immigration. If that's so, Cruz wondered, why didn't Trump stand up against the bipartisan immigration bill that passed in the Senate in 2013?
"We were on the verge of losing this fight, and 12 million people here illegally would be granted amnesty. And yet when that fight was being fought, Donald was nowhere to be found," said Cruz. "If you didn't stand up and fight amnesty when the stakes were live or die, when the stakes were, 'Do we lose this permanently or do we win?' then I would suggest as voters you have reason to doubt the credibility of the promises of a political candidate who discovered the issue after he announces for president."
Since he wasn't in politics at the time, it might have been weird for Trump to get involved in the immigration fight, but Cruz noted that he also leaned left on issues closer to his own industry. "You should ask, 'Where did you stand on the TARP big bank bailout? Did you oppose it or support it?' Where did you stand on Obama's massive stimulus plan? Did you oppose it or support it?" he said. "On both of those I opposed it. On both of those, Mr. Trump supported it."
Then in a reference to Trump's unsuccessful fight to take an Atlantic City widow's home to build a casino, Cruz added, "Donald Trump has said he thinks eminent domain is fantastic, and he supports using government power to seize private people's homes to give them to giant corporations to hypothetically build a casino."
At another stop in Washington, New Hampshire, Cruz hit Trump with one of the worst insults you can hurl at a GOP candidate: calling him un-Reagan-like. While Trump has claimed that the 40th president's views shifted over time, too, Cruz said, "Ronald Reagan did not spend the first 60 years of his life supporting Democratic politicians, advocating for big-government policies, supporting things like the TARP big bank bailout, supporting things like expanding Obamacare to turn it into socialized medicine." He also listed a number of Democrats Trump has given money to, including Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, and Rahm Emanuel.
Despite the strategy shift, Cruz said he wouldn't resort to "insults" like Trump — though "policy differences are fair game." So far, Trump's responses have been rather weak and repetitive:
Either Cruz is getting to him, or Trump's working on a retort so harsh that Cruz will wish he weren't eligible to run for president.

having finished with all of the preparations for my wedding and several of our friends weddings and baby shoewers - my sister and I are at a bit of a loss with what to do with our craftier sides.... so we're starting a little home side business. We'll probably never make any money at it - but at least it is something we'll enjoy doing. So what is this business you may ask? Well - my family really enjoys planning parties and showers. We like to make the invitations and favors and figure out unique ways to carry the theme throughout.
So - if any of you are tasked with planning a shower or party of some sort and need help with the details - let me know!
I'm having some difficulties with getting our website up and running - so in the meantime i've created a blog for the company....
check it out! Hopefully i'll get some pictures of our work up there soon!

Your 30s are a strange age to be an aid worker, it seems as if it's the middle age of the profession, and not necessarily because I expect myself to die from an accumulation of tropical infections at 60.
I find myself trapped between two seemingly more dedicated demographics. There are the young and newly recruited, fresh out of university, in the field for only the first or second time, hellbent on saving the world, damn the donors. These are the ones Skyping the boss to say that the only way to get a project done right is to exceed the budget by at least 200%, and if they don't agree, then they'll have blood on their hands.
Also, they like to drink. A lot. Only in a developing country can this level of alcohol consumption be afforded on a volunteer's stipend.
On the other side of the spectrum are the old humanitarians. Some have been around for decades, kidnapped and/or shot at a few times, got that cushy UN job, and still secretly agree with structural adjustment, but would never say so out loud. Others have recently had an altruistic impulse to apply to be an area coordinator in some forgotten war-torn corner of the world, after having made their money and left their mark as middle-management salesperson of the year. Some are married, but not many. There's always that one older man in his mid-50s who haunts the local bar whom I assume is there for something more salacious than the happy-hour drink specials.
The 30s however, is where I am. I heard from friends and family that most thirtysomethings with traditional careers are looking for stability: getting married, buying houses, having babies (though not necessarily in that order).
While I don't think I'm ready to leave the humanitarian world for civilian life just yet, I have started weighing my options up – do I still want this?
I'm good at my job, and 37% of the time I like it. Although I now more regularly ask myself questions like: Will the mosquito nets we gave away be used for the nine-month-old or is it going to be traded to a fisherman for palm wine? I still like travelling to places my grandparents can't be bothered to look up on a map. I won't die of a rare tropical disease because I've been vaccinated against 90% of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's neglected tropical diseases, sometimes through injections but mostly through natural means. I'd like to get a post somewhere on the same continent as my girlfriend so we can see one another more than one week every six months.
I've also been through enough mission-born-but-eventual-long-distance relationships that have failed because of my 'passion' to continue helping the world's children (read: spending hours in a sweltering office staring blankly at excel spreadsheets to fulfil student loan obligations) that I can't help but laugh at the naivete of my lustful 24-year-old colleagues. But at the same time, I can't picture myself in my forties or fifties in a small village with bucket-showers and movement restrictions that force me to take a car for the 100 metres between my house and office so I can have lunch.
But it's hard to question your life choices when the majority of the people you spend time with are diehard humanitarians, whose how-could-you-even-think-about-not-doing-this face puts a sharp end to any further discussion of my doubts.
I know there are others who feel like me (my girlfriend for one), but then there are colleagues and temporary field friends that seem to not question these things. There are others around my age that love this life and wouldn't want anything else. They are usually married and maybe have kids that go to the local French school at some exorbitant price. I am not sure if I'm jealous of the stability they maintain while changing countries every year, or if it's the (assumedly) blind love of the work and lifestyle, but for whatever reason I hate them just a little bit.
So what are my options?
A) I can keep doing this with all my uncertainty and just hope the wrong strain of malaria will make these questions null and void before the depression becomes unsustainable.
B) I give up and get a job at HQ and try to forget everything about working in the field so I can efficiently ignore field staffs' comments, questions, and requests on Skype.
C) I can leave humanitarian work and start over with a job in a city doing something I know nothing about, but at least the coffee will be of better quality (ie not off-brand instant coffee and powdered milk).
D) I can accept that this was what younger me wanted, try to hold on to what remains of my youthful passion, and attempt to change the system for the better 'from the inside'.
Whatever choice I make, I know that I don't want to be that 50-year-old guy just trying to have a beer after work without some 30-year-old jackass silently judging him.
