In the nearly two years since I became managing partner of Haskins & Sells, I have visited many of our practice offices and have attended or addressed a good number of meetings. In the course of these visits and meetings I have met personally many of the people in our Firm, and have discussed with them some of the matters that are on their minds. The subject which tends to recur most frequently in these discussions, if it could be reduced to one short statement, is the difficulty of ordering our priorities, of balancing our purposes. Most of us work hard in pursuit of several objectives. We often find ourselves so busy that we wonder where we can find the time to go after all of them. None of us wants to give up any of these goals, because each one draws us and has meaning for us. We all know the common saying that,"You can't have it both ways. "This is true only in a limited sense; you cannot have two things that are in absolute contradiction to one another, like being both a winning jockey and heavyweight boxing champion of the world. But we do try, and we try very hard and often, to reach two or more objectives that are difficult to attain together. We do this because we genuinely, deeply desire them, and we are reluctant to sacrifice one for the other since they both are important to us. We all have many needs to satisfy and goals to achieve — our careers, rewarding family relationships, contributions to our profession and our community, mental and physical stimulation and recreation. Think, for example, of the number of people you know who want to be successful in a professional field, such as public accounting, and who also want to be active in the affairs of their profession or community. This is as it should be, for all of us need to be concerned about the advancement of our profession and our community. Further, an individual grows professionally and personally as he gives of himself to such activities. There need be no great problem here if there is a proper degree of perspective and reasonably effective planning and utilization of time. Of course there will be conflicts. There may be a Firm meeting that one must attend away from his home city at the very time he should be at an important meeting of the school board on which he is serving, or the town planning committee, or whatever it is. These things happen to almost all of us. And they happen most to those people whose abilities are widely recognized and who are therefore asked most frequently to serve on committees, or to deliver reports, or to hold office in organizations. Now, add another purpose, or objective, to the situation — that of the promises we make to our own families. It is no accident that so many novels and movies center on the conflict between the pulls within the home and family, and those outside. This is a reality of life as we are living today in our hyperactive society. Add just one more kind of purpose —our need for recreation. We all have leisure time activities that we enjoy, and we pursue them for exercise, for relaxation, and for just plain getting our minds away from the concerns of our work. These activities may be as varied as reading mysteries, attending concerts, playing golf or gardening, but they all center on our need to unwind and to enjoy ourselves for a while if we are to keep our health and our good humor. As I write these words, I am keenly aware of conflicting pressures for one's time. It is a weekend afternoon, and an unusually beautiful and mild winter afternoon. The attraction of outdoor activity is compelling. There is, too, the usual briefcase full of reading matter and "to do" files from the office, to say nothing of books and magazines waiting to be read. To add to the list of things which might or must be done, there is a fund-raising presentation to be prepared for a non-profit organization and a meeting to be attended later in the day. I suppose that the reason I am doing what I am at this moment is because this task has the severest deadline. On the other hand, it could also be the one that appeals to me the most. No one needs to be told how frequently these various purposes in life pull against one another. Because time is limited we cannot pursue them all as much as we would like. There are times when one must be subordinated to another, and at times we try to split the difference. There are occasions when we are tempted to spread ourselves too thin, and we wind up regretting that we took on too much, and did a poor job as a consequence. Everyone has memories of a meeting missed, a report that might have been prepared more thoroughly, an appointment for which he arrived embarrassingly late, or a family affair that was sacrificed to business, or other necessity. Family affairs remind me of a conversation I overheard on a train a few weeks ago between two young men from the financial district of New York. One was bemoaning the train's running late; a dinner at home celebrating his wife's birthday was scheduled for seven o'clock so that he could make an eight o'clock paddle tennis tournament. I wondered about his priorities, but then it occurred to me that maybe his wife liked to play paddle tennis too. And at least he was going to be home for the occasion, By Michael N. Chetkovich

It's tied to digital history and blogging, and I can certainly see it. Can you see the new power of texts in the digital environment? How can we use this power to improve presentation… interaction… and understanding of complex concepts?
By the way, if it's not obvious, I love this video and what it tells us about texts, ourselves, and the environment that most of us work in… here. Consider this part of my plug for "digital literacy."

Oregon Best All-Around Rider (BAR) a year-round, multi-discipline competition open to annual members. Points and ranking will be tracked in at least the following categories: Senior Men and Women, Category 3 Men, Category 4/5 Men, Category 3 Women, Category 4/5 Women, Masters Men and Women, Junior Men and Women, Singlespeed/Fixed, Tandem, Clydesdale, Athena.
There are seven separate discipline rankings, one each for Road, Track, Criterium, Time Trial, Cyclocross, Mountain Biking (Cross-country, Downhill, SuperD) and Short Track. Points are awarded for finishes at all OBRA races for the top-15 in each discipline: 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
State championships and national-caliber races are awarded double points. Fields with more than 75 riders are awarded 1.5 times regular BAR points.
Points earned in team events are split evenly across the team members. Example: the winners of a three-person team time trial will each receive five points.
Tandem teams earn points as a team. Tandem points do not count toward individual rider points.
If a rider has multiple finishes in a single event, only the best finish counts.
If a rider has multiple discipline rankings that would count towards the same overall category, only the best ranking counts.
Weeknight events will accrue points for each month of racing.
Points are tallied and riders are ranked in order of points in each discipline. The rider with the highest point tally in each discipline is awarded 300 "ranking" points, the rider with the second highest is awarded 299, third gets 298, etc. If a rider has points in more than five disciplines, only the top five disciplines are counted. This means that there is a total 1500 points possible.
These ranking numbers are then added to determine annual awards. Riders must compete in a minimum of four disciplines in order to qualify for annual trophies.
The Team BAR is awarded based on the sum of the accrued points before rankings.

Check the backstreets for the best of Tahoe
If the new Tahoe is becoming increasingly gentrified, it's high time visitors stopped shopping for tacky tourist souvenirs. Instead, focus on more elegant consumables whether they're gifts for friends, loved ones, or even better, yourself.
Uncorked at Squaw Valley
You feel sexy even before the first glass of wine is poured at this slinky, darkly lit tasting lounge with its big glass windows, patio with chaise seating, and intimate bar topped with antler-style branch mobiles.
But it's just as much fun to browse and go home, since the bar is also a wine shop, packing hundreds of bottles displayed in long sideways stripes across two rooms of floor-to-ceiling racks.
Some weekends, winemakers stop in to dish about their work, and owners Kaliope Kopley, Debbie Metcalf and Marc Metcalf like to share their recent finds, too. Recently, that's meant a 2009 Luli Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir, and a 2008 Orin Swift Papillon Bordeaux blend.
1750 Village East Road (in the Village at Squaw Valley), Squaw Valley; (530) 584-6090 or uncorkedsquaw.com. Also 475 N. Lake Blvd. (in the Cobblestone Mall), Tahoe City; (530)581-1106.
Tahoe City Chocolates
You'll have to hunt down this shop, set upstairs in a far corner of a near-empty lakefront mall hidden behind a motel. But it's worth seeking out for an honest-to-goodness old-fashioned candy store brimming with homemade chocolates, candies, interesting retro things like cherry Coke flavored jellies, ice creams, tequila truffles, fudge, and rainbow lollipops as big as your head.
760 N. Lake Blvd. (in the Boatworks Mall), Tahoe City; (530) 583-6652.
La Galleria
You know those stores where you want to buy absolutely everything? This is that place, in a long, narrow space packed to the rafters with art, home accessory and fashion treasures from around the world.
Fill your satchel with brilliant jewel-tone silk ladies shirts and glittering, candy-colored fine glass jewelry, then bring a hand truck to wheel out must-haves like giant Buddha statues and carved llamas.
And even if you've never worn a hat, you'll want to buy one of these fanciful, playful chapeaus.
10112 Donner Pass Road, Truckee; (530) 587-5444.
Mo, Jo & Zoe
The clothing and jewelry is high fashion and often one-of-a-kind and priced accordingly. But, if you dig around a little, you can usually find some smoking bargain, cultivated by mother-daughter team and local fashionistas Jo-Anne Kraemer and Melinda Brown.
They opened in 2010 partly to showcase their own jewelry. If you like frilly clothing design, you'll enjoy the often elaborately decorated sweaters, wraps and headbands.
10115 Donner Pass Road, Truckee; (530) 587-3495, or shop.mojozoe.com.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Sexuality While Breastfeeding
Childbirth and breastfeeding may affect your sexual desire. Exhaustion, breast soreness, your baby's demands, and recovery from childbirth may reduce your interest in intimacy with your partner. But you may feel more comfortable having sex after the baby is born. Each woman's experience is different.
You can help restore a sexual relationship with your partner by anticipating the physical effects of breastfeeding.
Some women notice that they become aroused during breastfeeding. Although this sensation is similar to a sexual response, it is not sexually driven. It is your body's way of preparing the breast for breastfeeding.
Talk with your partner about your feelings, concerns, and expectations. Also, rest whenever possible. Try to set up a time for the two of you to reconnect emotionally and physically.

A case can be made to defend Miami Dolphins' Jeff Ireland
You might not know it, but the Jeff Ireland makeover is underway. The Dolphins' general manager, the most vilified current figure in South Florida sports, is seeing his public brand gradually refashioned, the persona of incompetence fading by degrees.
Let me pause now to give you time to shred your newspaper in incredulous anger, punch your computer screen or yell at the dog what an idiot I am.
I grant you that supporting Ireland in this market ranks up there on the popularity scale with loving Fidel Castro or advocating the Heat trade LeBron. I get it.
And I know it was just a month ago that Ireland's image hit a new nadir when a fan confronted him with the suggestion he "fire himself" and Ireland — maybe understandably but nonetheless unwisely — called the guy an "a—hole."
I also understand that Ireland will never win over all his critics. The infamous "Is your mother a prostitute" question of 2010 Draft prospect Dez Bryant alone echoes in infamy as a default go-to for anyone determined to attach Ireland's name to buffoonery.
The anti-Ireland crowd in turn has become a cottage industry steered less and less by rational thought, a stubborn mob bound to carry on undeterred by nuisances such as victories, draft picks borne out or other indications of success.
So in the spring somebody hacked Ireland's Wikipedia entry to describe him as "the most incompetent human being in the history of existence."
The recent exchange with the fan spawned "Fire Yourself" T-shirts. You might even see some Sunday as the Dolphins host St. Louis.
Miami New Times has a regular feature it calls the "Fire Jeff Ireland Watch" (because there is no law against pandering).
And now on YouTube appears a new video excoriating Ireland to the tune of Eminem's My Name Is" a parody somewhat clever but containing all the truth and fairness of a political attack ad.
Well, timeout, people.
Is Ireland's Miami track record really that bad to deserve all this animus?
No. Can you handle the truth? Or, allowing for honest difference of opinion, can you at least handle an interpretation of the truth that invites a fresh look at Ireland?
Start with rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill. This was Ireland's huge gamble with the No. 8 overall pick, and the kid looks like he will be really good for a long time.
Remember when Dolphins fans were chanting Kyle Orton's name? Ireland could have bowed, been popular and signed the then-available free agent. And remember when later so many fans clamored to sign Matt Flynn?
Well, Flynn went to Seattle and couldn't beat out rookie Russell Wilson. Orton is a backup in Dallas. And Tannehill looks more and more like the right choice for Miami's future in what was the biggest decision of Ireland's four years as GM — the last two-plus with final say over personnel.
Coach Joe Philbin — a gamble in that he had never been a head coach — also looks increasingly like a solid hire. That's Ireland, too.
Free agent running back Reggie Bush, in his second season, unquestionably has been a smart signing. That's Ireland.
Linebacker Karlos Dansby and guard Richie Incognito have been productive additions. Ireland.
Sacks leader Cameron Wake? The GM had a hand in mining him out of Canada.
Center Mike Pouncey, the not altogether-popular 2011 top draft pick, is gradually supplanting Jake Long as the most consistently dominant force on the line. Ireland.
Koa Misi, Reshad Jones, John Jerry, Jonathan Martin and Jared Odrick are other current starters drafted by Ireland, along with prominent reserves including Daniel Thomas, Chris Clemons, Jimmy Wilson, Nolan Carroll and Lamar Miller. Ireland had a voice in drafting Sean Smith and Brian Hartline, too.
This isn't to nominate the guy for NFL executive of the year, just to offer fair balance to the almost cartoonish vitriol heaped on him by so many. I have criticized Ireland plenty when warranted. For example, it is on him that Miami lacks a premier, No. 1-caliber wide receiver to ease Tannehill's progress.
But, moving forward, there are two primary litmus tests to judge Ireland.
One is the unfolding track record of his two biggest hires, Tannehill and Philbin.
The other is what Ireland does after this season with all of those stacks of chips on his table. Because of trades Miami now has the most 2013 draft choices of any team, including five of the first 100 picks. And because of the salary-cap situation Miami figures to have around $60 million to spend in free agency.
That puts Ireland in a position to either really make his mark in a positive way, or to reenergize his critics.
The Dolphins actually have a pretty solid foundation today in that they run the ball and defend the run very well. I put the team's biggest offseason needs as 1) an impact wide receiver, 2) a cover cornerback, and 3) a pass rusher.
The 2013 draft should offer at least two or three first-round receivers led by Tennessee's very speedy 6-4 Justin Hunter, who has drawn comparisons to A.J. Green. Free agency also will be ripe with wideouts. They will include Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace and Green Bay's Greg Jennings.
Ireland will have the draft chips and spending money to put moving up in the draft or an impact free agent or two among his options.
Finally, a quick retrospective on that infamous question of Dez Bryant, the one he will never live down.
It turns out Ireland was right — not in how he said it, certainly, but in the instinct to wonder about Bryant's background and character. Those things are why the Cowboys today assign a security detail to Bryant, drive him to practices, have him on a curfew and ban him from strip clubs. The very concerns that led Ireland to awkwardly ask that question have Dallas still wondering if Bryant is worth the trouble.
Meanwhile, Dolphins fans unrelentingly critical of Ireland could find themselves in an increasing quandary: The better and better Tannehill gets and the more Miami wins, the more fans will be denied the delight of Ireland-bashing, their favorite hobby.

Copper Mountian brings back Snow Day Pass
summit daily news
With new snow dusting ski slopes across the county, Copper Mountain announced Tuesday the return of the Snow Day Pass for the 2012-2013 season.
The product, in its third year at the ski area, is $99, and allows pass holders unlimited lift access at Copper Mountain any day that the mountain receives 4 inches of snow or more.
"As the most recent storm system approached, we thought it would be the perfect way to usher in the new snow," said Austyn Williams, spokeswoman for Copper Mountain. "Everyone deserves a snow day and the Snow Day Pass caters to just that."
The Snow Day Pass is an add-on product to any ski resort season pass, that will be offered for a limited time.
"At this point we don't have a set date of when it will go off sale," Williams said.
So far, Copper Mountain has received 38 inches of snowfall this winter season. The ski area has received 6 inches since Tuesday, making the first official snow day Wednesday.
Since Dec. 12, Copper has received 15 inches of snow boosting acreage to 363 acres and 34 trails currently open.
"The Snow Day Pass opens the door to check out Copper Mountain and beat the lines when it matters most, on a snow day," Williams said.
Copper Mountain averages 30 snow days each season and with upcoming snow in the forecast, the Snow Day Pass gives guests the best bang for their buck this winter.
The report is based on the previous 24-hour period and an official snow day will be announced the morning of the valid day.
Guests can access official snow day information at http://www.coppercolorado.com starting at 5:30 a.m., or by signing up for the Copper Mountain Daily Mountain Report, checking out the Copper snow stake cam or following the mountain through social media.
Even if it doesn't snow 4 inches in a day, the price will pay for itself with the offering of two free days.
With the Snow Day Pass, Copper offers two guaranteed bonus days of skiing or riding on Superbowl Sunday, Feb. 3, and closing day, April 14.
"If guests are not able to make it to Copper Mountain on days with 4 or more inches this way the Snow Day Pass is still worth the value of two tickets for the price of one," Williams said.
The Snow Day Pass is available for purchase online or in person at any guest services location at Copper.

Types of Technical Debt
Types of Technical Debt
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
As a developer at DRW, technical debt is often on your mind. Our front office teams work directly with their traders (often sitting directly next to them), and are exposed in real-time to their software needs. While sitting with the traders you see the immediate impact of your recent feature additions. The feedback loop is extremely tight - In the past I've come in to work, received a feature request early in the trading session, coded the change, deployed it to production, and seen the profits as part of that same trading day. In that kind of environment, you tend to care more about adding features than you do about having the most elegantly designed software in the history of the world.
But, you can't ignore code quality due to it's impact on delivery speed. There's a constant internal personal struggle between delivering features and keeping quality at a level that enables high speed delivery. Our technical debt is very visible, we keep reminders around to ensure we address our technical debt in the future. We also use those same reminders to prioritize which technical debt payoff will most benefit the team. The traders are also very aware of the technical debt, and it's often the case that they ask the question: Do you guys need to spend some time paying down this technical debt?
Working in an environment where the traders understand technical debt and embrace it's payoff is great, but it exposes other issues with technical debt.
Steve Freeman's blog entry, Bad code isn't Technical Debt, it's an unhedged Call Option, first got me thinking about different types of technical debt. That blog entry rang very true for me. I really liked the idea that selling a call option was a better metaphor; however, I wondered if it was something that could easily work in your average workplace.
I happen to work in a trading firm, so my customers know the implications of selling a call option. But, the entire idea of a metaphor is to understand one thing in terms of another. If you don't know either things, the metaphor doesn't really work. I don't think the average customer already understands options; therefore, I don't think the new metaphor will ever catch on.
But, I did believe it was a superior metaphor. So, I started looking at my bad code as selling calls instead of debt. In some cases the metaphor worked perfectly. We created an analysis tool that was mildly important to the traders and didn't have strict reliability needs. This analysis tool didn't have a single test. If the tool changed it's role, we would have had to put in a fair bit of work to ensure that it was more bug resilient. However, the tool served it's purpose and at this point I don't believe it's used by anyone. We saved a bunch of time (collected the premium) without ever having to make significant changes to the code (deliver).
However, in other cases the 'selling calls' metaphor didn't fit as well. In general, developers tend to call anything that slows them down 'techincal debt'; therefore, a slow running test suite would be considered technical debt. If everything that used to be called technical debt is now selling a call, then a slow running test suite is also selling a call. Except, that doesn't fit. I pay the time it takes to run the test suite several times a day. In the case of a slow running test suite, I think a high interest loan is a better metaphor.
Therefore, if all things that slow a developer down are 'technical debt' then you have some debt where interest is paid on an ongoing basis (slow running tests) and other debts where you'll only pay under specific circumstances (extending an application with no tests). I think this is a concept that is understood intuitively by most developers, but I wonder if adding visual type indicators to the identified technical debt would help with understanding and prioritization.
As a customer, I can imagine I'd appreciate knowing what is costing me on a daily basis and what isn't costing me anything today, but could cripple me tomorrow. And, as a team member I would be interested in highlighting ongoing pain and moving that higher on the priority list (assuming the other risks were reasonable). I imagine team members are already doing this subconsciously, but making it explicit could provide valuable to other members of the development team that have less context on specific situations.
In thinking about different types of technical debt, I wondered if there were other types of technical debt I was overlooking or incorrectly grouping with "high interest loans" or "selling calls". If any ideas spring to mind, please leave a comment.

When Lena Wilson's mentor died investigating an arson case and the police ran out of leads, she vowed to find justice herself. Lena -- who doesn't know she is part Kyth -- has the ability to see fragmented flashbacks of the crimes she's investigating through her sense of touch. And when she meets Sandor, she feels suspicion -- and desire -- like she's never known. It's only a matter of time before they touch.... With dark forces closing in, Sandor must keep Lena from digging deeper and exposing the existence of the Kyth. The only way is to convince her of his innocence. But how can he, when he can't keep his hands off her?

Vicious Circle
Persephone Alcmedi #1
A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.... Being a witch doesn't pay the bills, but Persephone Alcmedi gets by between reading Tarot cards, writing her syndicated newspaper column, and kenneling werewolves in the basement when the moon is full -- even if witches aren't supposed to mingle with wolves. She really reaches the end of her leash, though, when her grandmother gets kicked out of the nursing home and Seph finds herself in the doghouse about some things she's written. Then her werewolf friend Lorrie is murdered...and the high priestess of an important coven offers Seph big money to destroy the killer, a powerful vampire named Goliath Kline. Seph is a tough girl, but this time she bites off more than she can chew. She needs a little help from her friends -- werewolf friends. One of those friends, Johnny, the motorcycle-riding lead singer for the techno-metal-Goth band Lycanthropia, has a crush on her. And while Seph has always been on edge around this 6'2" leather-clad hunk, she's starting to realize that although their attraction may be dangerous, nothing could be as lethal as the showdown that awaits them.

Branded by Fire
Psy-Changeling #6
Though DarkRiver sentinel Mercy is feeling the pressure to mate, she savagely resists when Riley Kincaid, a lieutenant from the SnowDancer pack, tries to possess her. The problem is not simply that he pushes her buttons; the problem is that he's a wolf, she's a cat, and they're both used to being on top. But when a brilliant changeling researcher is kidnapped from DarkRiver territory, Mercy and Riley must work together to track the young man—before his shadowy captors decide he's no longer useful. Along the way, the two dominants may find that submitting to one another uncovers not just a deadly conspiracy, but a passion so raw that it'll leave them both branded by fire…

Storm Warning
Shadow Destroyers #3
Desire can strike without warning. Shadow Destroyers-Book 3 Journalist Blair Murphy is on the trail of a hot lead when she meets an even hotter stranger. Charmed by Drew Reid's sexy smile and intrigued by his evasive answers, Blair puts aside her undercover investigation of a corrupt politician for an under-the-covers investigation of every inch of his incredible body. But even after Drew satisfies her in every possible way, he refuses to satisfy her curiosity. Especially about the mystery woman who keeps calling his cell phone. As a burnt-out demon slayer, the last thing Drew needs is an inquisitive woman complicating his life, especially when she turns out to be the one woman who's strictly off limits-his partner's sister. He knows firsthand why it's important to keep loved ones at a distance, yet the fierce desire Blair arouses makes it impossible to stay away. Just as Drew prepares to hang up his sword for a normal life, a vicious attack on Blair awakens a storm of powers inside her that rage beyond her control. As her emerging abilities become increasingly unstable, their searing passion could be her salvation-or destroy them both. Warning: Batten down the hatches and brace from the storm, complete with non-stop action, adult language, demons severed by swords, knives or whatever weapon is handy, wet and wild rooftop foreplay and hot, explicit make-you-shudder-to-your-toes sex.

Sometimes playing cat and mouse is no game… Play? Right. My Pride is under fire from all sides, my father's authority is in question and my lover is in exile.

Caxton's always been able to watch her own back–even when it's against a cell-block wall–but soon she learns that an even greater threat has slithered behind the bars to join her. Justinia Malvern, the world's oldest living vampire, has taken up residence, and her strength grows by the moment as she raids the inmate population like an open bar with an all-you-can-drink supply of fresh blood.

Now Laura has just 23 hours to fight her way through a gauntlet of vampires, cons, and killers . . . 23 hours to make one last, desperate attempt at protecting the world from Justinia's evil.

The Price of Spring
The Long Price Quartet #4
Fifteen years have passed since the devastating war between the Galt Empire and the cities of the Khaiem in which the Khaiem's poets and their magical power known as "andat" were destroyed, leaving the women of the Khaiem and the men of Galt infertile. The emperor of the Khaiem tries to form a marriage alliance between his son and the daughter of a Galtic lord, hoping the Khaiem men and Galtic women will produce a new generation to help create a peaceful future. But Maati, a poet who has been in hiding for years, driven by guilt over his part in the disastrous end of the war, defies tradition and begins training female poets. With Eiah, the emperor's daughter, helping him, he intends to create andat, to restore the world as it was before the war. Vanjit, a woman haunted by her family's death in the war, creates a new andat. But hope turns to ashes as her creation unleashes a power that cripples all she touches. As the prospect of peace dims under the lash of Vanjit's creation, Maati and Eiah try to end her reign of terror. But time is running out for both the Galts and the Khaiem.

The Gods of Amyrantha
The Tide Lords #2
How do you go about killing yourself when you are an immortal? Is it even possible? Jennifer Fallon explores this tantalizing puzzle in The Gods of Amyrantha, the second in her Tide Lords series. The Tide is turning and the Tide Lords' powers are returning with it. Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, was thought to be only a fictional character.

Such as Arkady Desean, an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords who has discovered the truth about Cayal…and captured his heart. Yes, the Tide Lords will walk upon the earth once more and, with the power that surges through the cosmos, stand poised to wreak havoc on all that humans hold dear. Cayal will have to decide if he wants to go on living just a little longer and if he is willing to risk his fellow immortals' wrath in order to save the world.

Zadayi Red
A compelling new voice in fantasy brings us a tale like no other in the genre. A young Shaman of the Galayi people has had a powerful and frightening vision: it is of the Eagle Feather Cape, the gift of the Thunderbird, which is worn by the Seer of the People to see the future and gain the guidance of the gods. The cape is torn and bloody, and it will no longer bring visions to the Seer of the People. But the Shaman's vision also tells her of the cure: a child will be born to the People, a hero who will restore the cape and return the goodwill of the gods to the People. Dahzi may be that hero, if he can survive the hatred of his grandfather. He was born after his mother's death, as she fled from her father's anger. But Dahzi carries the hope of all of his People, along with the power to become a great Chief. He will be tested--by his family, by his people, and by the Gods. Zadayi Red is a magnificent retelling of a Cherokee legend. It brings to life an ancient people and a time of magic in a warm and intimate storyteller's voice.
Holdstock, Robert
Mythago Wood #7
At the heart of Ryhope Wood, Steven and the mythago Guiwenneth live in the ruins of a Roman villa close to a haunted fortress from the Iron Age, from which Guiwenneth's myth arose. She is comfortable here, almost tied to the place, and Steven has long since abandoned all thought of returning to his own world. They have animals, protection and crops. They also have two children, a combination of human and mythago. Jack is like his father, an active boy keen to know all about the outer world'; Yssobel takes after her mother, even to her long auburn hair. But this idyll cannot last. The hunters who protected Guiwenneth as a child have come to warn her she is in danger. Yssobel is dreaming increasingly of her Uncle Christian, Steven's brother, who disappeared into Lavondyss, and Jack wants to see 'the outer world' more than anything. Events are about to overtake them.
Howard, Jonathan
Johannes Cabal the Necromancer
In this uproarious and clever debut, it's time to give the Devil his due. Johannes Cabal, a brilliant scientist and notorious snob, is single-mindedly obsessed in heart and soul with raising the dead. Well, perhaps not soul... He hastily sold his years ago in order to learn the laws of necromancy. But now, tormented by a dark secret, he travels to the fiery pits of Hell to retrieve it. Satan, who is incredibly bored these days, proposes a little wager: Johannes has one year to persuade one hundred people to sign over their souls or he will be damned forever. To make the bet even more interesting, Satan throws in that diabolical engine of deceit, seduction, and corruption known as a "traveling circus" to aid in the evil bidding. What better place exists to rob poor sad saps of their souls than the traveling carnivals historically run by hucksters and legendary con men? With little time to lose, Johannes raises a motley crew from the dead and enlists his brother, Horst, a charismatic vampire (an unfortunate side effect of Johannes's early experiments with necromancy), to be the carnival's barker. On the road through the pastoral English countryside, this team of reprobates wields their black magic with masterful ease, resulting in mayhem at every turn. Johannes may have the moral conscience of anthrax, but are his tricks sinful enough to beat the Devil at his own game? You'll never guess, and that's a promise! Brilliantly written and wickedly funny, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer combines the chills and thrills of old-fashioned gothic tales like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the mischievous humor of Wicked, and the sophisticated charms of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and spins the Faustian legend into a fresh, irreverent, and irresistible new adventure.

Kingdom Beyond the Waves
Jackelian #2
Professor Amelia Harsh is obsessed with finding the lost civilization of Camlantis, a legendary city from pre-history that is said to have conquered hunger, war, and disease with the creation of the perfect pacifist society. Without official funding, Amelia is forced to accept an offer of patronage from Abraham Quest, the man she blames for her father's bankruptcy and suicide. She hates him, but he has something that Amelia desperately wants--evidence that proves that Camlantis existed and that the Camlantean ruins are buried under one of the sea-like lakes that dot the murderous jungles of Liongeli. Amelia will blackmail her old friend Commodore Black into ferrying her along a huge river on his ancient U-boat. With an untrusty crew of freed convicts, Quest's force of fearsome female mercenaries on board, and a lunatic steamman acting as their guide, Amelia's luck seems to be going from bad to worse. Her quest for the perfect society has a good chance of bringing her own world to the brink of destruction… The Kingdom Beyond The Waves is Stephen Hunt's third novel, set in the same universe as The Court of the Air. Amelia Harsh is a female Indiana Jones if there ever was one, and this novel is a rollicking steampunk adventure that will hook readers for one dynamite ride.
Jones, Jaida & Danielle Bennett
Shadow Magic
(sequel to Havemercy)
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. This entertaining sequel to 2008's fantasy epic Havemercy extends Jones and Bennett's successful blend of cultural diversity and social commentary into postwar diplomacy. After defeating the Ke-Han Empire, loosely based on Japan's shogun tradition, the kingdom of Volstov, reminiscent of imperial Rome, sends an odd peace delegation to the Ke-Han capital, which is reeling from defeat and the consequent ritual suicide of its emperor. Quirky magician Caius Greylace and brusque General Alcibiades present Volstov's view of the convoluted political intrigue that ensues, while the appealing young Ke-Han prince Mamoru and his ultra-loyal personal servant Kouje flee the wrath of Mamoru's brother, the insane new emperor Iseul. Deft characterizations even of minor players, broad humor, convincing dialogue and sure-handed timing, especially in the dueling scenes, make this novel an outstanding example of world-building and good old-fashioned fun.
Knight, E.E.
Winter Duty
Vampire Earth #8
From Publishers Weekly. The tense eighth installment of Knight's Vampire Earth series (a welcome improvement over 2008's Fall with Honor) continues David Valentine's adventures in 2076 as the invading Kurian Order decides to exterminate rebellious Earthlings. The Southern Command authorizes Valentine to wage a guerrilla war with the goal of creating a Kentucky freehold. His ragtag battalion (including some controversial Quisling and alien Grog recruits) must deal first with a power plant outage that blacks out Evansville and Owensboro and then a blizzard and the Kurians' plot to unleash a ravies epidemic on the human herd. Knight keeps the conflict interesting but says too little about the inscrutable Kurians, who are like magicians, always diverting attention from the operating hand. Even readers familiar with the series would welcome a glossary and more background on the various alien races.

The Osiris Ritual
Newbury & Hobbes Investigations #2
Welcome to the bizarre and dangerous world of Victorian London, a city teetering on the edge of revolution. Its people are ushering in a new era of technology, dazzled each day by new inventions. Airships soar in the skies over the city, whilst ground trains rumble through the streets and clockwork automatons are programmed to carry out menial tasks in the offices of lawyers, policemen and journalists. But beneath this shiny veneer of progress lurks a sinister side.For this is also a world where lycanthropy is a rampant disease that plagues the dirty whorehouses of Whitechapel, where poltergeist infestations create havoc in old country seats, where cadavers can rise from the dead and where nobody ever goes near the Natural History Museum. Sir Maurice Newbury, Gentleman Investigator for the Crown, imagines life can be a little quieter from now on after his dual success in solving The Affinity Bridge affair. But he hasn't banked on his villainous predecessor, Knox, hell bent on achieving immortality, not to mention a secret agent who isn't quite as he seems... So continues an adventure quite unlike any other, a thrilling steampunk mystery and the second in the series of "Newbury & Hobbes" investigations.
Micklem, Sarah
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. The harsh realities of ancient war and a woman's struggle to break free of male dominance blend brilliantly in this dream-drenched sequel to Micklem's 2004 debut, Firethorn. Exquisite prose (I had no edges between inside and out) enhances this glowing tapestry narrated by Firethorn, a healer, precognitive dreamer and slave struck by lightning while on a voyage to join her master. Believing she has been branded by the god Ardor Wildfire, she suffers a painful recovery that leaves her with a lopsided face, strange garbled speech and the ability to see shades. Sire Galan still desires her, but her rebellious acts strain their relationship. Then Galan's adversary, King Arkhyios Corvus, takes Firethorn captive, and her further travails lead her to truly understand the gift of inward fire. Micklem has penned a rich and memorable tribute to endurance and self-enlightenment.

JACKSON - The Mississippi Development Authority's tourism division in February added five communities, including Pontotoc and Aberdeen, to its Certified Cultural Corners program.
The designation is awarded to towns with a population of less than 20,000 to preserve and promote their cultural heritage significance. It includes a $10,000 grant.
Along with the two Northeast Mississippi communities, Rolling Fork, Port Gibson and Bay St. Louis were added this year to the program.
The MDA Tourism Bureau of Film and Culture established the Certified Cultural Corners program in 2008 to identify communities in Mississippi that have cultural heritage assets of national significance in at least two of the following areas: American Indian heritage, art and architecture, Civil War history, Civil Rights history, culinary culture, literary heritage and musical heritage.
Pontotoc and Aberdeen were both recognized for their significant assets relating to the Civil War and art and architecture.
The communities join the 2008 inductees of Cleveland, Holly Springs, Ocean Springs, Philadelphia and Woodville.
The next step is to conduct meetings where community leaders will participate in their initial cultural heritage assessment and begin making plans to enhance their areas of cultural heritage significance.

The WGO Foundation is the philanthropic resource for the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO). Incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) organization in 2007, the WGO Foundation was established as a strategic response to increasing demand to solicit financial support for WGO's global and developing low-resource country training and educational programs.
To raise financial support to develop and sustain the WGO's global training and education programs, especially in developing low-resource countries.
Digestive disorders – from diarrhea to obesity to cancer – are ranked by the World Health Organisation in the 10 leading causes of mortality, and are the single greatest cause of cancer death. Unfortunately, however, these disorders rank disproportionately low in both public awareness and healthcare priority in many countries.
It is only through the continuous education and training of gastroenterology professionals in their own countries that the WGO's campaigns will succeed – from public awareness programs for Hepatitis in the developing world to preventative cancer screening in the developed world.
The WGO Foundation is extremely fortunate to have secured the services of leaders from industry, politics and the medical community representing every corner of the world.
The WGO Foundation Executive works on behalf of the WGO Foundation Board to solicit funds in cooperation with the WGO Society Executive Secretariat, who are responsible for programmatic affairs.

much awesome
many swag
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand.
That's actually 3 things tough about that. One: I can find milk in the carton that's not half-and-half or buttermilk. Two: I drink it straight from the carton. and Three: I don't check the expiration date beforehand, so I am playing with the chance that I could get a mouthful of curdled chunks.

One time, I posted on a webforum to try to impress strangers because in real life I'm a loser.
Dude, seriously? Holy hell man that IS tough! Dude, screw Shafir's pathetic twenty gang members being plowed with just him and a friend, YOU should be the example we follow for toughness considering yours is actually NOT a flat-out lie =3
And honestly I must admit I hate when people drink straight from the container instead of pouring a glass, ESPECIALLY if they have a backwash habit.

The word "Barakaya" has common roots in the Hebrew and the Arabian language
and also in some East African dialects. It means "blessing", "luck", or "gift".
With this album Gandalf has come closer than ever to his goal, to create
something like a Global Music, trying to dissolve bordres between different
musical cultures. Some of the songs have a native American influence, others
seem to be based on African roots, another, played on a sitar, sounds more
Indian, one is inspired by Irish Folk Music, all connected by Gandalf´s
very unique way of merging a multitude of acoustic and electronic sounds
into colorful musical paintings.
Emily Burridge from England adds a very special note to the music by her
singing and chanting, insprired by tha native language of the Xavante-Indians
ffom Brazil. Also she brings in a lot of harmony and warmth with her melodioud
Sound Samples:
