and your old clients too.
Before I started my contracting business five years ago I realised the importance of selling and how it would be key to the success of my business, it's what some of the consulting books call 'keeping the pipeline flowing' if you read the contracting and consulting books they will advise you to spend a portion of your time bringing in new business, making sure that you have enough paying work to keep the wolfs from your door. If you are considering starting your own contracting or consulting business this is invaluable advice as a lack of paying clients is not good for business.
I have also read some sales books too, and if you are contracting /consulting or considering it as a future option I recommend that you read some of these books to. Sales books are different from consulting books and please don't think of these books as a magic answer, they are not, the good books will give you some good advice and tips, that after reading you will probably think is just common sense, but the advice is worth thinking about.
I have read a few of these sales orientated books, one I found quite useful was The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales ResourceThis book is quite old now I think it was published in 2003 and there are others out there that no doubt will give you similar advice, if you have a Sales book that you recommend please do let me know what it is by leaving a comment
In terms of Sales for a contracting and consulting business I think the following points are key in 'making a sale'
- Realise that your client has problem – understand what that problem is
- Be able to communicate to your potential client that you have the skills needed to solve the problem for them
- It's easier to make a sale to someone you have done business with before compared to a brand new client.
- Building a good network can be invaluable if you are in the selling business
So you have to understand the problem, know how to solve the problem and know a whole bunch of people who have problems that you can help solve. There is nothing awfully difficult to it on paper.
What I have got out of this is it can be easier to sell to your existing clients, or possibly clients you have worked for previously than it is to bring in brand new business. You do need enough existing clients to be able to do this. You will need to bring in new business especially when starting out and also when you have been in business for a while, fresh new clients are always good but it can be much easier for you to make sales to clients that you have sold to previously.
I have been lucky I have had repeat business from all of my existing clients and I have been fortunate that I have been able to expand my new clients too. You just need to get the balance right.

PAXgene Tissue RNA Kit
For purification of total RNA from tissues fixed and stabilized in PAXgene Tissue Containers
PAXgene Tissue is a new, crosslinking-free, tissue-fixation technology to enable both molecular and traditional pathology testing. It simultaneously stabilizes molecular content and preserves morphology. Tissue samples fixed and stored in PAXgene Tissue Containers can be paraffin-embedded and used for pathology studies as well as for subsequent purification of RNA, miRNA, and/or DNA. The PAXgene Tissue RNA Kit provodes purification of total RNA from tissues fixed and stabilized in PAXgene Tissue Containers. Purification is carried out using silica-based RNA purification technology in a spin-column format. Used with the containers, the kit provides a complete preanalytical solution for collection, fixation, and stabilization through to purification of high-quality RNA for molecular analysis. The procedures can be fully automated on the QIAcube.

Product Details
Total RNA purified using the PAXgene Tissue RNA Kit is of high quality and is highly pure (see figures "High-quality RNA from fixed tissue" and "RT-PCR of RNA purified from fixed tissue"). Genomic DNA contamination is minimized, and purified RNA is ready to use in downstream applications with no detectable PCR inhibition. All RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides are purified. The procedure provides enrichment for mRNA since most RNAs <200 nucleotides (such as 5.8S rRNA, 5S rRNA, and tRNAs, which together comprise 15–20% of total RNA) are selectively excluded. The size distribution of the purified RNA is comparable to that obtained by centrifugation on a CsCl gradient, through which small RNAs do not sediment efficiently. For purification of small RNA, including microRNA (miRNA), we recommend using the PAXgene Tissue miRNA Kit.
Tissue fixation methods used in traditional histology are of limited use for molecular analysis. Fixatives that contain formaldehyde cross-link biomolecules and modify nucleic acids and proteins. During tissue fixation, storage, and processing, cross-links lead to degradation of nucleic acids. Since cross-links cannot be removed completely, the resulting chemical modifications can cause inhibition in sensitive downstream applications such as quantitative PCR or RT-PCR.
The PAXgene Tissue System was developed to enable both molecular and traditional pathology testing from the same specimen by stabilizing molecular content and preserving morphology. The system consists of a tissue collection device (the PAXgene Tissue Container for collection, stabilization, storage, and transportation of human tissue specimens) and kits for purification of total RNA, DNA, or miRNA. PAXgene Tissue Containers provide tissue fixation for histopathology studies and enable purification of high-quality nucleic acids from the same sample for molecular analysis. The fixation and stabilization method preserves tissue morphology and the integrity of nucleic acids without destructive cross-linking and degradation found in formalin-fixed tissues.For purification of total RNA, the system requires the use of PAXgene Tissue Containers for tissue collection and stabilization, followed by RNA isolation and purification using the PAXgene Tissue RNA Kit. Together the container and kit provide a complete preanalytical solution for collection, fixation, and stabilization of tissue, and purification of high-quality RNA for molecular analysis.
PAXgene Tissue Containers are dual-chamber containers prefilled with 2 reagents. PAXgene Tissue Fix rapidly penetrates and fixes the tissue. After fixation, the tissue is removed from the PAXgene Tissue Fix and transferred to PAXgene Tissue Stabilizer in the second chamber of the same container. When the tissue is stored in PAXgene Tissue Stabilizer, nucleic acids and morphology of the tissue sample are stable from 3 to 7 days at room temperature or from 2 to 4 weeks at 2–8°C, depending on the type of tissue. Storage at –15°C to –30°C is also possible for at least 3 months without any negative effects on the morphology of the tissue or the integrity of the nucleic acids. Stabilized samples can be embedded in paraffin for histological studies. Nucleic acids can be isolated from the stabilized samples either before or after embedding in paraffin. See the PAXgene Tissue Container Product Circular for information about tissue fixation, stabilization, processing, and paraffin embedding.
The PAXgene Tissue RNA Kit provides 3 protocols for purification of total RNA from tissues fixed and stabilized in PAXgene Tissue Containers. Disruption and homogenization of the tissue sample is performed in the binding buffer, Buffer TR1. After a centrifugation step to remove residual cell debris, ethanol is added to the lysate to provide appropriate binding conditions for RNA. The sample is then applied to a PAXgene RNA MinElute spin column, where the total RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are efficiently washed away. Between the first and second wash steps, the membrane is treated with DNase I to remove trace amounts of bound DNA. After the wash steps, RNA is eluted in a low-salt elution buffer and denatured by heating (see figure "The PAXgene Tissue RNA procedure").
The purified RNA is ready to use in a wide range of downstream applications, including:

Manzano Apartments Reviews
Our apartment was basic but at the end of the day it was somewhere to put your head down after a great day skiing then having a few beers in the many restaurants & bars. We cooked breakfast but ate out for the rest. The ski hire is in the basement & there are lockers but we chose to hire some lockers next to the slope so as not to have to carry them up & down after a tiring day. Can imagine it gets quite busy & loud but we seemed to have picked a quieter week, but it was still lively & had many a late night! It snowed for 2days & nights & was informed that this was the most snow they had for 5years!! There are plenty of runs & you can ski all day without skiing the same slope, caters for all abilities. As for the apartments, maybe not for young families. All in all, great holiday, needed to come home for a rest!

Great self-catering apartments, quite basic but all you need for a super skiing holiday. At the end of the day we managed to ski off the slopes right to the door so it's in a very good position to slopes. The ski hire shop in the basement makes it simple to get and return your skis, (I wish I knew about this!). The only real dislike I had was the fact that it was one of the highest apartments in Pas de la casa, which meant it was about a 2 minute walk to the closets bars and shops. But it's quite a lively place, all the activities seemed to take place or start in the Manzano. It has great storage facilities for your skis and boots right beside the bar just inside the hotel doors with comfy sofas to sit while you remove your boots. The barman's a great laugh! I'd say the Manzano is better suited towards groups rather than families. I can't wait to return next year.

Love it for its simplicity, then hate it when the plywood catches fire from an errant breeze across the stovetop. Studiomama's mobile kitchen has a bucket and garden hose for a sink, with a watering can collecting dirty water.
The chopping board can be propped atop the unit's handles (located on the right of the stove), for food preparation, and then tucked away under the shelving unit for tucking away the plonk. It'd be the perfect accompaniment to a barbecue, with the trolley's stove perhaps reserved for cooking up the vegetarian sausages. [Studiomama via Dezeen]

Give a Little: Family Volunteering
While experts say getting kids involved in service early is better, it's never too late. Here, the best ways to get teens fired up about giving back.
While experts say parents should get kids involved in community service as early as possible, it's never too late. In fact, kids ages 8 to 18 may reap greater benefits from volunteering than younger children because they can feel emotionally connected to a cause and can actively select projects that interest them. Here, the best ways to get teens fired up about giving back.
Be a Charitable Role Model
"What's most compelling for kids is seeing their parents' joyful involvement for their own meaningful reasons," says Elizabeth Berger, child psychiatrist and author of Raising Kids with Character (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers). If parents are generous and giving, kids are likely to adopt those qualities. So instead of saying that volunteerism makes the world a better place, show them your altruism. For example, prepare a dish for a charity meal while the kids are hanging out in the kitchen. Say something like, "Before I make dinner for our family, I have to finish this casserole, which will help raise money for an important cause." When you get back from the event, tell the kids how appreciative the charity organizers were. Try saying, "It made me feel good to help others who are less fortunate."
Even if your kids don't immediately follow your example, they probably will down the road—as long as they see you enjoying yourself, says Mary Gresham, a clinical psychologist in Atlanta.
Offer Several Choices
Start by asking the question, "What can we do to help the community?" The phrasing presumes it's not a matter of if the family will participate, but how. Bring the family together for a group discussion, then suggest several types of projects and ask for input. "Kids will be more invested if they feel like they have a say," says Jenny Friedman, author of The Busy Family's Guide to Volunteering (Robins Lane Press) and executive director of Doing Good Together, a group that aims to inspire families to volunteer.
If you're dealing with an independent teen, put him in the driver's seat by asking him to do some online research. For resistant teens, it's best not to insist on participation right away. Try easing them into it instead. For example, if your daughter likes to knit, say, "Wouldn't it be fun to make blankets for soldiers?" If your son is artistic, you could mention that one of his paintings could lift the spirits of a child with cancer. This may help them realize on their own that they have something special to offer.
Give a Slight Push
If all else fails, gently strong-arm them—kids don't know what's best. "Teens can't understand the benefits of service until they've experienced them," says Jim Youniss, professor and developmental psychologist at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He once took students to an impoverished area, to help repair houses. "They had no idea people lived in that kind of poverty," he says. "It woke them up."
Remember, you're ultimately the boss. It's okay to make a unilateral decision about what the family is going to do, say, Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. Then temper it by adding, "We'll try this once. If we don't like it, we won't go back."
Teens Are Natural-Born Helpers
While all humans have the inclination to lend a hand, teens possess additional idealism, energy, and a fresh perspective, says Bill Hoogterp, senior adviser to HandsOn Network, a national organization that mobilizes volunteers. "Kids come up with great ideas because no one has told them they can't," he says. Hoogterp also believes every person has a deep commitment to at least one issue—for example, education or animal protection—and the key is combining that concern with a fun activity. To help teens identify hot-button issues, expose them to as many things as possible, and pay attention to what has an effect. Did something happen at school or on the news that your teen thinks is unfair? Find out what resonates, then suggest taking action. "Service isn't something we need to put into kids," says Hoogterp. "In fact, we have to draw it out of them."
Overcome Obstacles to Volunteering
Problem: A quiet, anxious teen who's uncomfortable interacting with strangers.Solution: Skip the soup kitchen. There are other ways to give back that don't involve face-to-face communication. Try sending care packages to troops overseas or creating gift baskets for needy families. Tech-savvy teens can also help small organizations update their Web sites for free.
Problem: A kid who values time with friends more than family.Solution: Let him bring a buddy. Friends can help make the activity more fun, says Debra J. Berg, guide to charity and volunteering at SelfGrowth.com. Or suggest that he sign up for a church or synagogue youth group that does service projects—it keeps the experience social.
Problem: Homework, extracurricular activities, and a social life leave little time for volunteering.Solution: Suggest a small commitment—as little as every other month, or a one-time project, like painting a mural on a community center building. Berg also mentions the benefits of volunteer vacations, which can be scheduled around school breaks.
Problem: The initial excitement for a project wanes.Solution: Some kids are very passionate, but they can burn hot, then go cold, says Berg. To keep up enthusiasm, parents should remind them of the impact, says author Jenny Friedman. Say something like "I bet you made that little girl very happy by visiting her in the hospital." It reinforces the value of community service and makes kids more likely to stick with it.

Bart Scott will travel to Seattle, but he is not sure whether he will be cleared to play with the turf toe that ended his streak of 119 consecutive games played.Playing a tough customer like Marshawn Lynch and Scott's unlikelihood activation is all the more reason why the Jets activated Ricky Sapp. They're going to need as many linebackers as possible this weekend.
Scott would prefer to play, but the Jets trainers want to see how much his toe swells after two straight days of practicing in a limited capacity. He will be on site either way.
Scott's been a big part of this defense since Rex Ryan came aboard, but with his contract situation this year, the Jets were going to play him as much as it made sense to, since they were paying him one way or another. Scott has had trouble keeping up on the field at points this year. Getting off his blocks, attacking the line of scrimmage and stuffing plays haven't come with their normal regularity that we saw in his first two years. So his injury provides the team a reason to rest him for other players. At it's most ruthless, the cost of replacing him on the field isn't as painful as it would have been two years ago. I do think that Scott will return to the field for the Jets at points this season, but there's less and less reason for him to play through his injuries based on some of his performances that we were seeing while he was on it.

Twitter, libel and lies
The world of technology invariably desensitises you by removing a physical reaction to your action. There don't seem to be direct consequences – hence people are often ruder in emails or on social media than they would be in real life or on the phone. After all, the chances of someone finding and punching you are that much smaller.
This has led a lot of people to see the internet world as beyond the law, a cyber Wild West where anything goes. And, to a certain extent it does – it takes time and effort to track down anonymous internet trolls, often requiring costly legal action to force ISPs or social networks, such as Facebook, to provide their names and addresses. Cases such as the breaking of the Ryan Giggs super-injunction just reinforce this belief.
But Twitter is subject to the laws of the land in the same way as any other written communication. That's the realisation that is slowly dawning on the large number of people who tweeted or retweeted, wrongly naming or linking former senior Tory Lord McAlpine with child abuse claims. The innocent peer has instructed his solicitors to sue those who have defamed him online, with his lawyers urging those who tweeted the story to come forward and apologise. Many high profile names have already done so but what will be interesting is what happens to those that don't apologise. They have clearly, if unwittingly, broken the law but tracking down every one of them and launching separate legal proceedings will be time consuming and costly. And it provides an interesting legal conundrum for judges – do you set damages based on the number of followers someone had when they sent the tweet? Is this a real use for Klout scores at last?
Before anyone starts muttering about Twitter crackdowns and eroding free speech it is important to understand the law. You can defend your words based on it being true, an honest opinion or a public service – but blatant untruths and lies are the same online as offline. In the aftermath of the Lord McAlpine case everyone on Twitter should take a look at the risks they face, but more importantly exercise a little common sense. As David Aaronovitch says in this (paywalled) Times article – Don't tweet anything you wouldn't be happy to see on a newsagents' shelf with a picture of yourself above it. Or, I'd add that you wouldn't say to someone down the pub if you thought they might punch you for it.

The Gunther Report
Lesson from Apple: Why Investing in Poor Women is Good Business
One lesson of the Apple in China scandal is that factory monitoring is a necessary but insufficient way to improve the lives of workers in poor countries. Apple inspected its suppliers' factories, but conditions remain harsh. While strengthening inspections and sanctions, smart brands and retailers are finding ways to help workers in their supply chains gain more control over their work and lives.
A program run by BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) called the HERproject, which gives women working in export factories access to health information, is an example of what could -- and should -- be done. Teaching young women about health, including reproductive health and family planning, is, by itself, a good thing. It also delivers a not-so-subtle message to factory owners that it might be good for their business to take better care of workers, instead of exploiting them until they are used up.
Many factory owners "see their workers as cogs in a machine" and act accordingly, says Racheal Yeager, who leads the HERproject for BSR. "That's why there are high rates of turnover and high rates of absenteeism."
"What we're trying to do is change the mindset of the factory management," she says.
I recently met Racheal, who's just 29, at BSR's office in San Francisco. She was just back from Bangladesh, where she talked with women workers in their homes and on the shop floor. She told me that the young women who make the electronics, clothes, shoes and toys that we consume are woefully uneducated, particularly about health. Many suffer from anemia, poor hygiene, inadequate pre- and post-natal care, sexual violence and exposure to infections and illness.
The HERproject works with local nonprofits that select and train female factory workers as teachers, and then send them back into their factories to talk with their peers about menstrual hygiene, family planning, sexually-transmitted diseases, prenatal and postnatal care.
"There are the strangest myths and miscalculations around women's health." Racheal says. "Women were missing two or three days a month when they had their period because they didn't know what to do. Culturally, they had been told that it's shameful."
The HERproject (it stands for Health Enables Returns) has grown rapidly since it began in a few factories in China in 2007. It has reached more than 120,000 female workers and more than 25,000 males in factories in Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Brands that have nominated suppliers for the program -- and agreed to pay for it -- include Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Clarks, Columbia Sportswear, H&M, Hewlett Packard, J.Crew, Levi Strauss & Co., Li & Fung, Marks & Spencer, Microsoft, Nordstrom, Primark, Talbots and Timberland.
Gee. Why isn't Apple, the world's most valuable company, on the list? Or Walmart, the world's biggest? Just asking.
The western brands pay about $5,000 to $7,000 per factory per year, funds which go to the local NGO that runs the project. The HERproject is designed as a yearlong effort, after which factory owners are asked to keep it alive and pick up the costs.
For the brands and factory owners, the business case should be clear, at least according to BSR. Healthier workers tend to be more productive workers. Workers tend to feel more loyal to employers who invest in their well-being. Turnover should decline. The HERproject's impact and effectiveness is being tracked by BSR.
"Women's health matters to business," Racheal says. "It is such an enormous social need, and it has such an impact on business that we don't see why this isn't something every brand should be doing."
In a just world, sure. But many brands and factory owners -- not just in poor countries, but also in the U.S. -- don't see a need to invest in their workforce. Spending $5,000 per factory may not sound like a lot, but it's real money in a place like Bangladesh, where wages are as little as $40 a month. What's the return on investment, they may wonder.
The challenge for BSR and forward-thinking brands will be to demonstrate to factory owners that treating their workers with decency and care is good business -- whether those workers are American, Chinese or Bangladeshi. Until they do, expect more scandals like those at Apple.

Photographer Rick Guest at his exhibition of photos featuring Royal Ballet dancers © ROH/Chris Shipman, 2013
A new photography exhibition focusing on artists of The Royal Ballet runs this weekend (Friday 25 - Sunday 27 January) at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden.
The exhibition, entitled 'Now is all there is – Bodies in Motion', was created by renowned international photographer Rick Guest in collaboration with leading fashion stylist Olivia Pomp. Royal Ballet artists and creative team members depicted include Marianela Nuñez, Thiago Soares, Edward Watson, Zenaida Yanowsky and Wayne McGregor.
'The exhibition has evolved over the course of two to three years,' explained Rick, 'we've built up this fantastic collection of images, and when Kevin O'Hare saw it, he thought an exhibition would be a fitting way to mark his first season.'
The exhibition, which takes its name from a quote by choreographer George Balanchine, is described as a modern take on the classical world of ballet and a coming together of three separate disciplines: photography, dance and fashion.
'Balanchine's plea of "now is all there is, get on with it, just do it now" is equally as important for dancers as it is for photography, which is a one-click moment,' continued Rick, 'likewise for contemporary fashion. In this exhibition, all these things come together.'
Stylist Olivia, who has worked with Rick on a wide range of international commissions, used evocative and unconventional fashion to capture the dancers' abilities in a different light, away from the main stage.
'The whole idea was to take the dancers outside their comfort zone, which was why we shot them away from the opera house,' she explained. 'The costumes, whether wings, or a cape, or big skirts, give another element and become part of the body."
The images highlight the physicality of ballet, capturing the dancers in fleeting moments of time to illustrate the balance and poise demanded by dance.
'We didn't have choreographed sequences when we were shooting. We just asked the dancers to give us what they wanted. They weren't performing to an audience of 2,300, they weren't doing it on a sprung floor. They were dancing in a studio, on a hard floor, in front of four people. As such, they became portraits rather than being about choreography'
The exhibition is taking place at The Hospital Club, 24 Endell Street, London, WC2H 9HQ and is free to attend.
It will be open to the public on Friday 25 January 10am – 4pm, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 January 10am – 6pm. All pieces are for sale and limited to six prints each. View and buy prints online.

Rock My Bed
Everything always seems to fall into place for 24-year-old Aubrey Jenson, except for when it comes to her luck with men. Bad boys always draw her in and crush her heart, and Black Falcon's lead guitarist, Riff, is no exception. After sharing a few wild nights together, she leaves him behind, knowing a guy like Riff isn't the relationship type.
When she returns to New York, she tries to get the passion she felt in Riff's arms out of her head by dating Isaac, a successful representative at Center Stage Marketing. Just when she thinks she's forgotten Riff, she's forced to see him again when her best friend, Lanie, ropes her into being a bridesmaid for her upcoming wedding to Black Falcon front man, Noel.
Sparks fly instantly between Aubrey and Riff when they're forced to reunite, and suddenly she finds herself caught between the man who's good for her and the one who completely rocks her in every way.

She was great He was the wrong choice for narrator
How could the performance have been better?
I'm sure Allen Steele is a great narrator for some books. He was the wrong choice for this book. His voice was to have reflected a character of 28-32? Every time he spoke the character was no longer a hot young rock star, he was a grizzled 40-50 year old. Very distracting. Just let Aletha George do the whole thing.

It's allright
I keep wondering as I listen to this series of books why I just can't love them like I love Olivia Cunning's books of rock stars. I think they lack the depth that Olivia can communicate in her books. The first book in this series was better than this one. (Narration could of been the issue.) Therefore this is just Ok and I'd prefer to get this one on sale or not at all.
I do not like the male narrator. His voice does not suit the character. His voice sounds older and I just can't see Riff's voice sounding like that in my mind. I actually would of preferred for Aletha George to do the entire book.

Firstly, I don't know why it was decided to do a split narration on this when the first book worked fine but Allen Steele's voice was just so painfully wrong wrong wrong as Riff and so alas, for that reason, it dropped a star.
Secondly, as I begin to write this review I can't help but ponder over just why we love bad bad boys...... but we do, whether their Vampires, Highlanders, Cowboys, Millionaires, Rakes or, in this case, Rock Gods, it's all the same - they bring out the best and worst in us ..... and we love every single minute of it.
Riff's a tortured soul plagued by hidden demons from his past with masked inner self-loathing he is set on a path of self destruction until he tries to give his famous 'Golden Ticket' to Aubrey and unwittingly his life is about to change. Their attraction was fuelled by hot sexual chemistry which both thought could be doused by one night of sexual pleasure (er wrong). But one night, became two and the passion was still there but it was coupled with longing and hunger for something more. Aubrey was seeking trust as well as lust and Riff was seeking redemption but she had some uphill battles before Riff's Demons could finally be vanquished and set free.
This was told in the same timeline as book 1 but from a different person's perspective which, if you've heard book 1, you begin to see the other side of the story.
Worth a credit? Yes, if you're like me and enjoy stories of bad boys being tamed but, in my humble opinion, it's not as good as Sinners on Tour but a good runner up as it was a tender tale that began with sex followed by passion, denial, turmoil, longing, acceptance and, the ultimate of prizes..... love.

why these readers?
Ive read this series and loved it. then I purchased the audiobook and turned it off after 5 words. How are you going to have a mature gentleman to read for a 23 year old character? not a great choice!

Pretty good addition to the series :)
3.5-4 stars
This was a pretty good story. I liked Riff and Aubrey and liked their story. The description is a little mis-leading as the story actually takes place during most of books # 1 & 1.5 and everything culminates at the wedding.
Aubrey has a degree in marketing and landed a job in a big marketing firm in New York. She loves her job although things aren't perfect, especially concerning the business deal between her BFF, Lane (heroine from book #1) and the company they both work for. Aubrey has a tendency to fall for bad boys and her mother (who is very straight-laced and proper) keeps getting on her case about finding a good, steady man to marry and have kids with. Aubrey's not too happy with this future but has decided she needs one last fling with Riff before she "settles down".
Riff is a good guy with a very troubled past. He made a bad choice when he was 16 years old and it caused an accident which made his family implode. Riff just made a mistake but he was made to feel it was entirely his fault and has lived with horrible guilt for years. Because of this, Riff doesn't feel like he deserves anything good in his life and certainly doesn't deserve to have someone special. Riff was lost but found solace in music and eventually found a new family in his band. Unfortunately, an incident where Noel slept with a woman Riff was hanging with (according to her, Noel was drunk and doesn't remember it) has caused Riff much angst. He's having trouble letting go of the anger and now it's starting to tear the band apart.
Riff and Aubrey get started during the timeframe of book #1, Rock the Heart but we don't see their initial interaction in that book. They first meet during the concert that brought the first meeting in 4 years of Noel and Lane (the couple from book #1). Aubrey is waiting for Lane to talk to Noel and Riff comes across her in the hall. There's a very strong mutual attraction and they flirt a bit. Riff is all for trying to get Aubrey in his bed but when the meeting between Noel and Lane ends explosively, their flirting is ended abruptly. Aubrey can't forget about Riff and decides to reach out to him through a fan connection and gets an IM friendship going with him. Riff is very happy to get a message from Aubrey and they flirt online for a bit, Riff trying to get Aubrey to come visit so they can hook up. In the meantime, Aubrey is confronted with her boss at work asking her to keep secrets from Lane about some things going on behind the scenes and Aubrey feels she has no choice or risk Lane quitting her job in anger without thinking things through. Aubrey also has some confusion in relation to her boring and slightly OCD boss when he starts acting like he's trying to get too close considering their boss/employee relationship. Lane gets sent on the tour for their job and Aubrey makes arrangements to meet her on one of their stops. She also decides that she'll have a fling with Riff…one last hurrah before she finds a "nice guy" to settle down with.
Aubrey doesn't tell Riff when she's showing up and so he's happily surprised when she appears at the bus. They've been messaging each other for a bit and things were hot over the messages. As soon as they see each other, their mutual attraction explodes and they have trouble keeping their hands off each other. Aubrey hasn't told Lane about her being in contact with Riff (and he hasn't mentioned it either) so everyone just thinks they have an instant connection. Aubrey feels a bit bad to be ignoring Lane but can't resist Riff's pull. Riff and Aubrey spend some time together and Riff is surprised by how much he wants Aubrey to be his but he knows that can't be so he decides he needs to indulge in hot sex with her to in order to get her out of his system. After the first night neither of them have the other out of their system so they decide to spend the rest of the weekend together. Riff gets some encouragement from Trip (who sees that Riff has deeper feelings for Aubrey) to try to take things deeper but Riff is convinced he's poison and can only hurt Aubrey if he spends too much time with her and a woman as fine as her would never want him for more than a fling. Aubrey on the other hand, is finding that she's jealous when groupies hang on Riff when she's around and she starts to fear her feelings are getting too deep and she'll get hurt. After their weekend they both try to move on but that's difficult. Their relationship becomes rather up and down…sometimes together (when Riff is unable to resist Aubrey and gets her to give him a chance) and then apart (when Riff gets to feeling he's bad for Aubrey and removes himself in order to protect her). Riff seems intent on protecting Aubrey from him hurting her but in his actions to protect her he actually hurts her and he can't seem to keep himself from wanting to be with her. Aubrey actually does pretty well at dealing with Riff running hot and cold but when he has a huge bout of relationship dumbassedness, I really wish she wouldn't have jumped in to dating Isaac so soon afterwards (but then Isaac did kind of push the matter). There is drama and angst and things don't look good for a while but Riff realizes he's being an idiot and makes things right with Aubrey. This causes a bit of drama in itself (Isaac) but it does leave Aubrey and Riff free to start their HEA together.
This was a pretty enjoyable story. I liked Aubrey and Riff together and was rooting for them to realize they're perfect for each other. Unfortunately, because this is a NA book there was plenty of angst to deal with before it happened but it wasn't over the top so I could deal with it alright. Overall, it was a pretty good story with a feel good ending. I'd recommend it (but you'll probably want to read book #1 first). :D
* note - The book was from both Aubrey and Riff's PoVs and there were 2 narrators, a female for Aubrey's PoV and a male for Riff's PoV. Both narrators did a good job in the narration but I didn't really feel like the male narrator's voice is what I'd expect Riff to sound like. It didn't ruin the book though and I liked the narration overall.

Good addition to series, narrator's not so bad
I enjoyed this book and agree that it is a good addition to the series. I know there were complaints about the male narrator but I don't agree with them. I don't think he did a bad job narrating, I just don't think he sounded like a 26 year old rock star. Can't wait to continue this series.

The male narrator ruined it...
The story was ok and the female narrator was fine, but the male narrator sounds like he's a 70 year old grandpa. He doesn't at all sound like a badass rock star. Sad!!! Sex scenes were weird with his voice. This ruined the books for me. Made me want to stop listening on more than one occasion.

Loved the story ... hated the male narration!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the story despite of the male narration. It is a good story. I love heart rendering love stories.
What did you like best about this story?
Riff fighting his feelings because of his dark past!
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The female is wonderful!!! She could handled the entire story .... the male narration does not fit my mental picture of Riff. I hated the dual narration!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, because I needed a break from the male narration.

Terrible narrator
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would based on story
How could the performance have been better?
The male narrator should have been a different personal. His voice takes away from the story. I winced when he talked

Cybercrime packed in a box
Microsoft battling global virus that can rob data with a flip of the switch
WASHINGTON — A customer in Shenzhen, China, took a new laptop out of its box and booted it up for the first time. But as the screen lit up, the computer began taking on a life of its own. The machine, triggered by a virus hidden in its hard drive, began searching across the Internet for another computer.
The laptop, supposedly in pristine, super-fast, direct-from-the-factory condition, had instantly become part of an illegal, global network capable of attacking websites, looting bank accounts and stealing personal data.
For years, online investigators have warned consumers about the dangers of opening or downloading emailed files from unknown or suspicious sources. Now, they say malicious software and computer code could be lurking on computers before the bubble wrap even comes off.
The shopper in this case was part of a team of Microsoft researchers in China investigating the sale of counterfeit software. They received a sudden introduction to malware called Nitol. The incident was revealed in court documents unsealed Thursday in a federal court in Virginia. The records describe a new front in a legal campaign against cybercrime being waged by the maker of the Windows operating system, which is the biggest target for viruses.
The documents are part of a computer fraud lawsuit filed by Microsoft against a web domain registered to a Chinese businessman named Peng Yong. The company says the domain is a major hub for illicit Internet activity, home base for Nitol and more than 500 other types of malware, which makes it the largest single repository of infected software that Microsoft officials have encountered.
Peng, the owner of an Internet services firm, said he was not aware of the Microsoft suit. He denied the allegations and said his company does not tolerate improper conduct on the domain, 3322.org. Three other unidentified individuals accused by Microsoft of establishing and operating the Nitol network are also named in the suit.
What emerges most vividly from the court records and interviews with Microsoft officials is a disturbing picture of how vulnerable Internet users have become, in part because of weaknesses in computer supply chains. To increase their profit margins, less reputable computer manufacturers and retailers may use counterfeit copies of popular software products to build machines more cheaply. Plugging the holes is nearly impossible, especially in less regulated markets such as China, and that leaves openings for cybercriminals.
"They're really changing the ways they try to attack you," said Richard Boscovich, a former federal prosecutor and a senior attorney in Microsoft's digital crimes unit.
Distance doesn't equal safety. Nitol, for example, is an aggressive virus found on computers in China, the United States, Russia, Australia and Germany. Microsoft has even identified servers in the Cayman Islands controlling Nitol-infected machines. All these compromised computers become part of a botnet, or collection of compromised computers; it's one of the most invasive and persistent forms of cybercrime.
The investigation by Microsoft's digital crimes unit began in August 2011 as a look into the sale and distribution of counterfeit versions of Windows. Microsoft employees in China bought 20 new computers and took them home to unwrap.

1 Note on illustrations topenlarge
Throughout this treatment option illustrations of generic fracture patterns are shown, as four different types:
A) Unreduced fracture
B) Reduced fracture
C) Fracture reduced and fixed provisionally
D) Fracture fixed definitively
2 Principles of joint-bridging modular external fixation topenlarge
The modular external fixator is optimal for temporary use. It is rapidly applied without need for intraoperative x-rays and can be adjusted later.
The joint-bridging modular external fixator for fractures of the malleoli consists of two partial frames, one along the tibia and one medial on the calcaneus or calcaneus and talus.
Details of external fixation are described in the basic technique for application of modular external fixator.
Specific considerations for joint-bridging modular external fixation, the distal tibia and the foot are given below.
3 Patient preparation topenlarge
This procedure is normally performed with the patient in a supine position.
4 Safe zones for pin placement topenlarge
Inserting percutaneous instrumentation such as pins or transfixion wires through safe zones reduces the risk of damage to neurovascular structures.
For safe pin placement make use of the safe zones and be familiar with the anatomy of the lower leg and the foot.
5 Pin insertion (tibia and foot) topenlarge
Choice of tibial pin placement
Drilling a hole in the thick tibial crest may be associated with excessive heat generation and there is a risk the drill bit may slip medially or laterally damaging the soft tissues. As the anteromedial tibial wall provides adequate thickness for the placement of pins, this trajectory is preferable. A trajectory angle (relative to the sagittal plane) of 20-60° for the proximal fragment and of 30-90° for the distal fragment is recommended.
Alternatively, to avoid the frame catching on the opposite leg, the pins may be placed more anteriorly. The drill bit is started with the tip just medial to the anterior crest, and with the drill bit perpendicular to the anteromedial surface (A). As the drill bit starts to penetrate the surface, the drill is gradually moved more anteriorly until the drill bit is in the desired plane (B).

3.5 litter hopper.
Good for fertilizer or seed. Adjustable control knob.
1. With a measuring tape, measure how many feet long the bed is. Then measure how many feet wide. Multiply these two figures. The total is the square foot area of that landscape bed.
2. Decide how thick you want your mulch to be (2" is average). For new landscape beds, 4" of mulch is recommended. If you are just top dressing a previously mulched bed, you may wish to use as little as 1" of mulch. Using the conversion chart below or Mulch Calculator to the right, you can figure how many cubic yards or bags of mulch, soil or gravel to order.
3. If you still have questions, please call our visit one of our stores. If you have the total area of your landscape beds calculated, we'd be glad to help you figure the amount of mulch, soil or gravel you will need.
BULK MATERIAL ONE cubic yard will cover approximately:
1296 sq. ft. 1/4″ deep

The TypeisRight began in June 1989 in a spare bedroom, selling printing and business forms such as invoices, statements and mailers. After the first year we moved into commercial space across from Plainfield Town Hall. Three months later we moved to Central Plaza (the "Subway" building) in Central Village, CT, where we were until June 2015. We've moved to Moosup, just a mile or so up the road.
During our first decade I worked with not only my own babies in the office, but the babies of several employees as well at different times. Customers asked "How do you do it?" Many still ask about the kids and can't believe they're all grown up .
In 2000, before the toddler stopped toddling, we hung a sign on the door that read "By Appointment Only" and no longer offered walk-in service. Many customers never noticed, having always taken advantage of our free local pickup and delivery service.
We still do not offer walk-in service without an appointment. However, pickups and deliveries are usually available at Bayou Gifts next door, from 9-5 M-F.
2015 brought a move and the addition of a 15 needle embroidery machine. 2017 brought color transfers using white ink and we now print more apparel than ever. The website lists all kind of advertising specialties you may search through. Most of what we custom print is not listed. We stay too busy working on YOUR promotion to work on our own!
Thanks for visiting. Stop back soon.

Exemption of bifacial cell technology from Section 201 measures to accelerate switch from mono to bifacial cell lines outside of China and drive demand in the United StatesJune 17, 2019On 13 June 2019, United States Federal trade authorities ruled that bifacial solar modules will be exempt from Section 201 tariffs, as outlined in a notice from the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The ruling will dramatically increase demand for bifacial solar modules in the United States due to the opportunity of avoiding tariff rates of 15% to 25% through February 2022, in addition to the benefits of higher efficiencies and energy yields associated with such products. IHS Markit expects that demand for bifacial modules in the United States will be primarily served by manufacturing lines across Southeast Asia, as products shipped from China will still face antidumping and Section 301 tariffs that will make them less competitive.Subscribers Only

NEXTracker and Array Technologies Reign Supreme in Global PV Tracker Market, IHS Markit SaysMarch 30, 2017NEXTracker and Array Technologies remain far and away the leading suppliers of PV tracker systems globally, in addition to being leading suppliers of PV structural equipment in general. Vertically integrated suppliers First Solar and SunPower notably lost market share in 2016. This has coincided with First Solar's announcement to downsize its EPC business and to exit the structures market in 2016. Convert Italia and Arctech have risen into the top five, finding success in emerging tracker markets outside of the United States in Latin America, the EMEA region, and India. In the United States -- the largest market for PV tracker products globally -- Soltec, GameChange Solar, and Sunlink were the winners in terms of growth in the market outside of the big two (NEXTracker and Array Technologies).

Peyton Manning quotes: Broncos QB none too pleased after practice
Peyton Manning was not a happy camper Tuesday after the Broncos' first of three joint practices with the Texans. The Broncos' quarterback didn't hold back with his evaluation of his offense's performance at Dove Valley, saying the team "stunk" and that the Texans "kicked our butt."
Here's what else he had to say …
On holding joint practices with the Houston Texans:
"Well, I think it is great to get somebody different. You get to go against different players, different schemes. I thought our offense stunk today. I thought the (Houston) defense totally kicked our butt. I couldn't see what was going on on the other side of the field, so we'll learn from the film, there will be some good things to see. Hopefully we will come out and do a better job tomorrow for our players to uphold doing our jobs of executing. But I think there will be some benefit for them, they are a 3-4 defense, they got some great defensive players, and play a lot of different coverages, (with) one of the best coaches out there. Overall it will be a good week for us. We've got to do better than we did today on offense.
On how the Texans played:
"They executed better than we did. I don't know what the word is or the adjective was, but just thought they did their jobs a lot better than we did on offense. I couldn't see the other side of the ball. That was all I was worried about."
On the preseason so far:
"It's good. We have played two physical games against two physical teams, and this will be a great week of work against a physical defense, as well. Saturday, the game will be good work. When you play the third game you play the most, and like I said, they give you looks at 3-4 on certain downs and then looks for four down and have all the different blitzes and coverages, as well. They have good personnel so it's a good challenge."
On what he hopes to get out of the third preseason game:
"I think it is always nice for your young players to see different defenses. You like to see as many things as you possible can before you get to the regular season. You can't see it all, but this is a great way to get exposed to some different defenses, different situations, different blitzes, and what the adjustments are. Then trying to get on the same page with some of the new guys, maybe getting Emmanuel (Sanders) out there practicing and get him on the same page as (WR) Wes (Welker). Hopefully we can get him out there tomorrow."

Environmental and seasonal artist Nicole Dextras is no stranger to using ice as a medium. For her series, "Iceshifts," Dextras combines ice and clothing to create deconstructed wardrobes frozen in time, then photographs them up close and within natural settings. Often, the clothing has been frozen over several winters, creating layers and layers of ice. When Dextras composes her photography, she positions the blocks of ice to effect beautiful light refractions, giving the work a haunting and ethereal glow. The clothing appear to be specimens, ready to be excavated and studied. Sometimes, Dextras will include plants or leaves when creating her pieces; she's even used stockings for arms and bras as wings to illustrate the many layers of the self .
Dextras explains, "This frozen wardrobe acts as a metaphor for the multilayered affinities between the self and the environment. On a deeper level, the mercurial aspect of ice alludes to the transient nature of the environment and of the inherent poetic beauty of the ephemeral." (via my modern met)

Good Riddance, Senator Clinton
The more desperate Clinton becomes, the nastier her campaign gets. The voters have been consistent; they have rejected nastiness and fear-mongering and embraced hope and change. There is no reason why voters in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island won't do the same thing.
[Black Star News Editorial]
Tomorrow, voters in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island head to the polls.
Senator Barack Obama enjoys a slight lead in Texas, 47% to 44% and Clinton shows an edge in Ohio, 44% to 40%.
If this pattern holds, Clinton would have no net-gain in the total delegates count by Tuesday night. Obama now leads 1,202 vs. Clinton's 1,042.
It would be as if there had been no contests in Texas and Ohio at all. There will be more pressure for Clinton to step aside in the interest of party unity.
Obama has established his margin of victory by winning a total of 26 contests so far, to Clinton's 11.
This race should have ended weeks ago, after Obama scored his 11th victory in a row. The blame lies with the Democratic Party bigwigs, who have been nervous about telling Clinton her time is up. Had she won 11 in a row, the call for Obama to move aside would have been loud and clear.
At the beginning of February, Clinton had 105 more super delegates than Obama; these are the unelected delegates, who vote like Soviet era Politburo members. Since then, delegates have either pledged to Obama or defected from Clinton to Obama; her lead is now a mere 38 in the super delegates score.
Should Clinton refuse to bow out Wednesday, more super delegates will continue to abandon her amidst Party divisions and she would eventually have to give it up in a most undignified manner.
Judging by the way she's run her campaign, with the ugliest and dirty tactics imaginable, Clinton isn't modest and may have to be dragged yelling from the podium. She's the opposite of the unifier that Barack Obama is and clearly is not suitable to be president. The nation now yearns for someone that can build bridges between different religious and ethnic groups.
People thought the Republicans had a monopoly over the politics of fear and smear? Consider some of the ugly Clinton tactics throughout this campaign:
[] Early in the campaign when Senator Clinton realized that Senator Obama would be a formidable candidate, her husband Bill Clinton claimed on the Charlie Rose T.V, show that voting for Obama was like rolling a dice. The implication was that it was too risky to hand over the keys to the White House, and control over the nation's nuclear arsenal to a Black man. In fact, Senator Clinton's erratic behavior in recent weeks should raise doubt about her ability to remain rational during times of national crisis.
[] Continuing the campaign's strategy of maligning Obama and using smear tactics, a senior Clinton campaign official, Bill Shaheen, said since Obama had admitted to drug use in his youth, if Democrats elected Obama as the standard bearer, the Republicans might ask whether Obama had also been a drug dealer.
[] A few days later, a Clinton supporter, the disgraceful former senator Bob Kerrey, now New School University president, falsely claimed Obama had attended a "secular madrassa" in Indonesia and that while he was not ready to be president, as a Black man, Obama would be able to inspire Black youth. Moreover, as a person with the middle name "Hussein," Obama could help the country reach out to Muslims around the world.
[] Heading into South Carolina, loud mouth Bill Clinton himself again played up the race card, suggesting that it wouldn't be that surprising if Obama won there since Jesse Jackson, when he ran, had also won that state.
[] In early February, Clinton enjoyed 20-point leads in both Texas and Ohio. When the polls narrowed to single digits, the Clinton campaign sent a photograph of Obama wearing traditional Somali Islamic attire, which he had briefly tried on during his 2006 visit to Kenya. It was an ugly attempt to again cast Obama as a Muslim and appeal to deep-seated anti-Islamic fears.
[] With Obama ahead in Texas and about to tie Clinton in Ohio, the Clinton campaign has been running a fear-mongering ad campaign, showing children asleep, and then a phone ringing and posing the question in the background, "Who do you want to pick up the phone when it rings at 3 AM?" The commercial goes on to say that Clinton, with her vast experience, is the more suitable candidate to be Commander-in-Chief.
The more desperate Clinton becomes, the nastier her campaign gets. The voters have been consistent; they have rejected nastiness and fear-mongering and embraced hope and change.
There is no reason why voters in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island won't do the same thing.

The Academy Award-winning African-American actor was asked by CBS correspondent Mike Wallace about the topic of "race"* in America. Freeman responded that it would probably help race relations if Americans simply stopped talking about "whites" and "blacks." By stressing differences between certain people groups or by highlighting one group over another (as with, for example, "Black History Month" each February), America will see potential harmony among races as being hindered, not helped, declared Freeman.
While in one sense, the downplaying of differences between races/people groups is to be applauded (especially by those who reject evolution and believe that all people groups descend from Adam and Eve), Freeman's comment that race relations can be improved by not talking about it is not a strategy, we would contend, that should be adopted by the church in general. For many Bible-believing churches, racism is still a problem that, rather than being ignored, needs to be fully addressed-which can be accomplished through sound biblical teaching.
Sadly, though, there are some pastors who continue to pass along false teachings on race, including the belief that the skin color of "black" people is a result of a curse on Ham and his descendants (as refuted in a chapter of our book One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism-see Are black people the result of a curse on Ham?).
Beliefs and biases take root firmly within the hearts of fallen men. Unfortunately, feelings towards men and women of difference "races" will still be held and talked about, and thus these attitudes will still be acted upon "behind closed doors"-even if the politically correct stance switches from special recognition (e.g., Black History Month) to pretending that everything is OK. However, biblical teaching as described in One Blood-presented in as many churches as possible-can be a powerful antidote to racism of all forms.
The church also needs to recognize that evolutionary beliefs have fueled racism, and, thus, any compromise that Christian leaders decide to have with evolutionary beliefs is adding to the racism problem. The false belief system of evolution has been used to justify the mistreatment of various people groups, including Nazism and the subsequent Holocaust.
While racism can be an uncomfortable topic for some Bible-believers (even though it is less of an overt problem today, compared to the 1950s), this sin still exists among some in the church. But it can be met head-on with biblical teaching on the true origin of people groups.
For example, if we share the real history of humankind as given in Scripture, Christians should recognize that we all go back only a few thousand years (to Noah's family, and then ultimately to Adam and Eve), and this would refute racism. The study of genetics confirms that we are all extremely closely related biologically. For more information, read How did all the different "races" arise (from Noah's family)? from The Answers Book.
Indeed, the answer to racism is in Genesis, and it is confirmed in Acts 17, which tells us that all people are of "one blood" and are thus all closely related.
The church can and should be the means by which the problem of racism is solved. The church, using Scripture to deal with the hearts of people, can be the most effective agent of change in dealing with modern-day racism. As Dr. Charles Ware, Executive Director of Grace Relations and Special Assistant to the President of The College of Biblical Studies, told AiG: "We were created as one, divided by sin, and reunited by One-Jesus Christ, who makes peace between us."
* We prefer to use the term "people groups" as opposed to "races." Saying that there are many "races" suggests that there is no common ancestor for all people, when the Bible clearly teaches in Acts 17 that we are all of "one blood" (going back to the first couple, Adam and Eve).
The idea of unrelated, separate "races" is an evolutionary notion, one that increased in popularity in the last half of the 1800s and all through the 1900s. Many racists have even argued that darker-skinned people are less evolved than other races, and are, therefore, inclined to produce less-civilized societies than, for example, the lighter-skinned Europeans.
