Murdina, a dark vampiric fey, hunts the Scottish Highlands for a man, but not for blood, Murdina wants love. She spots Cameron playing the bagpipes, and when a strong wind lifts his kilt, she takes a good look and decides he's the one. When Cameron meets a beautiful, mysterious woman who dances the Highland fling for him, his blood boils for her. Soon Murdina and Cameron are doing more than dancing. Wrapped in each other's arms, they discover true love, but their time together is limited before Murdina's fey sisters cross the portal to steal her back and probably kill him. Is their love strong enough to overcome the threat her sisters pose to Murdina's heart and to Cameron's life?
My Review:
Vampire Highland Fling is another quick sexy read when you don't have a lot of time. The story has a good plot and contains some Scottish mythology and it was fun to learn a little bit about it.
Murdina wants what her sister Sorcha found, love. She doesn't know what love feels like but she's willing to find out. Only able to underhill when the stones of the ancient cairn are disturbed, Murdina sneaks out without her sisters knowing.
After playing the bagpipes at a wedding, Cameron comes upon a beautiful woman who begins to dance as he plays for her. He's immediately enchanted by her graceful movements. Murdina is delighted that this man is so muscular and handsome. They are instantly attracted to each other and Murdina wants to stay with Cameron.
Murdina is determined and goes after what she wants, I liked that about her. Cameron is also very likable, immediately trying to think of a way he can support her. He was very unselfish in that respect. I wanted to see them be together so they could be happy.
I know Ms. Amiri doesn't have much influence on the art that goes on the cover, but this cover is somewhat misleading in that the story contains female and not male vampires. As a reader first and a reviewer second, it's really frustrating when the cover has nothing to do with the story. I still found Vampire Highland Fling a pleasant and enjoyable read.

We can't let this die. Neith's kit needs to be shut down along with her 60 sec passive... It is just too bloated. I think a few nerfs would balance her out.
1) if an enemy god stands on a weave for 4 seconds it disappears.
---this gives some counter play to her passive so she has to think a little bit.
2) The farther her ult travels it loses a percentage of damage and time for the stun.
--Every 150 units it loses 10% of its damage and stun duration with a cap at 60%
I think these two simple nerfs keeps her as an easy to use new people god but gives her some real counter-play for advanced play so she isn't so strong with low skill floor.

Ballots on this year's Higher Education pay claim have produced mixed results amid disillusion over the handling of the pensions dispute.
Following three years of increases well below inflation, employers were offering a pay rise of just 1% — a real-terms pay cut of 12% over four years. The unions asked for 7%, guarantees that no staff would get less than the Living Wage (£8.20 per hour in London; £7.30 elsewhere), and action on the gender pay gap (still 15%) and casualisation.
University and College Union (UCU) members — lecturers, researchers and academic-related staff — voted against strike action (44% for, 56% against) but in favour of action short (70 to 30%). Unison members voted by the narrowest of margins for a strike (50.3 to 49.7%).
Votes for strike action were stronger in Unite (63%) and Scottish teachers' union EIS (54% for strike, and 72% for action short).
Many union members feel let down by the failure of one-day strikes in the long-running pensions dispute.
In post-92 universities, where academic staff are in the same pensions scheme as teachers, morale has also been dented by the decision of the National Union of Teachers leadership to effectively call off its pension dispute.
One-day strikes are particularly ineffective in universities due to the ease of rescheduling work for another day. Rolling strikes that closed services like IT, libraries or finance sections for longer periods could have more effect, but require a high degree of local confidence and organisation, currently lacking in many branches. In contrast, action short of a strike, like the assessment boycott used in 2006 when lecturers withheld exam and coursework marks, has proven strength as a tactic.
That may explain why many UCU members felt action short made more sense than strikes.

Finally sharing some photos and a quick recap of our week long vacation in St Pete Beach with family and friends. We were there just short two weeks ago or so and let me say that it was everything we had all hoped for. We went with our friends who have two kids almost exactly our kids' age (plus my friend's mom and my mom tagged along for the ride!) so the kids had a great time playing with each other in their group of four.
All of us, for various reasons, wanted to just relax while there and not plan too much. We wanted to just go with the flow and see where each day may take us… so we ended up leaving the complex just a couple times – once to get to John's Pass, a nearby town to get on the boat and watch the dolphins AND the second time to get to the aquarium in Clearwater.
Other than that, we spent time at the pool or walked up to the beach and we rotated between one and the other as we saw fit. The fact that the hotel was right on the beach was the best thing and I don't think that I ever want to be at a hotel without a walkable beach access if we ever go on a similar trip in the future. Having been there for a week I now know that packing up everybody everyday in a car to go to the beach and then driving back would have been extremely annoying (I know, first world problems, but I'm sticking to it!). Some days we didn't even go to the beach because the heat was unbearable and other days the beach felt cooler so we spent more time there than at the pool.
The hotel alone had a very casual feel and really felt so inviting but low key at the same time. We LOVED the courtyard set-up (if that's what that's called), meaning, the space in between buildings with plenty lounging chairs and plain 'ol grass space to just sit down and do a little picnic or eat lunch. This whole space was in the shade (huge trees around) so we used it everyday to cool off a bit or eat lunch or just hide in the shade in between beach and pool time. This whole area was our second favorite thing (other than the walkable beach access) about the hotel.
Wore this pink t-shirt almost everyday! Love how it contrasts here with the blue door. This shade of blue was the signature color of the hotel.
This is the shaded courtyard area I talked about – we fully utilized it everyday to cool off!
Yes, wearing this leaf print two piece in Florida too! 🙂 See a separate post on this outfit here (top and shorts).
A very rare occasion – the two of us in one photo LOL (taken by a semi-drunk stranger man, thank you!)
The obsession over this swimsuit is real you guys! Love love love the blue and the side cutouts!
Morning coffee at the hotel's coffee counter; it was extremely convenient to have a great tasting coffee place right there!

Bates Motel: Season 3
Manufacturer: Universal Studios Home Entertainment
"Bates Motel" returns for a gripping third season filled with family strife, murder and mystery lead by Vera Farmiga (Norma) and Freddie Highmore (Norman). This season focuses on the evolution of the Bates family and dives head first into Norman's waning ability to stay in denial about what's happening to him and the lengths he will go to gain control of his fragile psyche. The dramatic events of last season leave Norma (Vera Farmiga) more aware of Norman's mental fragility and fearful of what he is capable of. From executive producers Carlton Cuse ("Lost," "The Returned") and Kerry Ehrin ("Friday Night Lights," "Parenthood") "Bates Motel" serves as a contemporary prequel to the genre-defining film Psycho and provides viewers with an intimate portrayal of how Norman Bates unravels through his teenage years. After a blissful summer of closeness with his mother, living within the safe confines of home and the Bates Motel, Norman's fears about what really happened with Blaire Watson resurface and Norma question...

In a pinch, I've folded mine in a sugar packet, but never, ever stuck it anywhere inappropriate. I'm sorry you had to go through that!

Hahahaha, oh how I'm glad I found your blog. There's just enough bitterness here to keep me happy for a long, long time. Also, that was a part of your JOB?! WOW. That sucks.

That's a non-favorite job of school janitors too.

This post is barf-worthy to me and really gets me all worked up into a FRENZY.
When I was a little girl I discovered a purple wad of chewed gum under a table in McDonald's. I was poking it and my mom noticed and says "NATALIE DON'T TOUCH THAT THERE'S GERMS ALL OVER IT!"
And then starts my gum-phobia.
I seriously have a phobia to gum. I can't chew it, smell it, or watch people chew it because I get physically sick and start to have anxiety over this. I can't even look at a piece that's been throw out in the trash can because I feel like it's going to contaminate me.
You know what? I'll stop this story book comment here. You have inspired my blog post for today.

Abby Lee Brazil has a new website, lets go check it out
Yet another surprise this morning, when the administrators over CherryPimps.com informed me via email that they have launched a ready-made websites regarding one of their most popular pornstars Abby Lee Brazil. Obviously I didn't waste time and check it out for myself, only to see that everything they said was absolutely accurate and that this renovated website has made things only better.
It is incredibly easy to surf, it has plenty more digital photographs and now you can get access without having to sign up to several of her latest porn videos. I like the choice of colors and the layout is very appealing, these are websites that are built to perfection, they load extremely fast even if you are still on a 3G network, if you ever do sign up to enjoy everything that she has to offer on her website, remember that you get access to another three dozen websites along with that at no additional cost to you.

The Trump reflation trade may have lost some of its shine during the quarter, but any disappointment was more than overshadowed by strong global data as exports and production continued to gather pace.
The Global Investment Committee remains optimistic about global economy and equity markets despite their recent strong equity rallies and increased political risks.
China has had a significant impact on the supply side in two key global commodities during 2016. Going forward, look out for further actions from China on the supply side of commodities.
MSCI Asia ex Japan (AxJ) was up 3.4% in USD terms, marginally outperforming MSCI AC World. Absolute returns were positive for all AxJ markets except the Philippines.
US Treasury (UST) yields traded in a tight range in February. Risk assets rallied and UST yields rose in the first half of the month, on the back of the prospect of tax cuts and a Dodd-Frank overhaul in the US.
Given the release of the fourth quarter data, we update our decade-long theme about improving corporate governance in Japan.
Asia's Credit market has come a long way since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1998, having evolved into a large, deep and liquid market.
With President Trump announcing that he will be releasing his tax plans in the coming weeks, we have shifted to a more cautious position on US duration. The risk is that President Trump announces a sizeable stimulus package, with the backing of the broad Republican base.
Our Senior Portfolio Manager in New York, who specializes in natural resource equity funds, explains the outlook for oil prices.
Asia ex-Japan (AxJ) equities returned 6.2% in US Dollar (USD) terms, outperforming MSCI World. Singapore, Hong Kong and Chinese equities outperformed while Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand lagged.

The Beginners Guide To Businesses (Finding The Starting Point)
Business Loans: A Beginner's Guide
Working any business is never a simple thing to handle.You will require enough capital to see it progress. Remember that it needs cash for everyday operations which might be hard to achieve. Having the right money will prove to be hard, and you will be forced to take from some lenders. Before you allow the lenders to give you the money, make sure you understand every term about the loans. Your activity is to pay special mind to the best moneylenders in the area. Before agreeing to the terms, it is necessary to take some considerations as seen below.
The initial thing is to determine the kind of borrowing you require. This implies you should have time and understand why you need the credit.For example, you may require confirming if you want one for equipment to be used in the company. Here, one will have the capacity to search for the best banks managing such credits.Remember that you will find different types of loan to take but is up to you to take the most reasonable one.Never take a loan without knowing how you are going to spend your money. Never take an advance without deliberating how you will spend your cash.
The following thing to remember is to decide whether you will bear the cost of taking and paying the credit. You will find it easy taking the loan but repaying it might be complicated to you. Take time and understand your investment before taking the loan. From here, one should pay special mind to the moneylenders that present sensible rates. Some are excessively costly, and it may be trouble reimbursing it, therefore, influencing the eventual fate of your investment. It is essential to do more research on the best lenders before agreeing to anything.
Something else not to overlook is the amount of time of reimbursing the advance. It is at this point that you should decide and affirm on the off chance that you require short or the long-term advance. If you want to make it simple for you in terms of duration, you should go for the long-term option. do not forget to note the interest rate on the loan. Keep in mind that you require confirmation that you will profit by the advance.Before you decide to take the loan, ensure you know your income and the expenses of the business. This will decide the amount you should take without taking a chance of your business. Remember that there are numerous alternatives to taking credit for your business yet your duty is to pick the most suitable kind that will profit the business.

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
T'shari White, a recent UNCG graduate, conducted research on the environmental attitudes of minority students for senior capstone course. She decided to focus her research on reasons why Environmental Studies was a predominately white field of study because she was the only black student in her class and one of only two African Americans enrolled in the program. During her study, she found common trends of belief from students, faculty and staff in the reasoning behind this lack of participation from minority students. In her interviews, minority participants offered the following reasons:
- the environment is not a priority for minority students
- the environment is not an interesting subject to minority students
- unless they are directly affected by it, minority students won't take action
- minority students did not know that Environmental Studies was offered as a major
- minority students lack knowledge about the field and what job opportunities are available
After completing the research, T'shari got an internship with the Office of Sustainability to work on addressing the issues found in her study. She set two goals for this a project: (1) spread awareness about how these environmental issues apply to people of every race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and socioeconomic status; (2) bring attention to issues surrounding the low number of minority students enrolled in UNCG's Environmental Studies program and their lack of participation in campus sustainability initiatives. T'shari came up with an innovative solution to host an event titled, "What's Green Got to Do with It?" gave all students (not just minorities) an interactive opportunity to learn about the UNCG Environmental Studies program and the Office of Sustainability as well as career opportunities and minority environmental leaders in the field.
The event also highlighted the issue of Environmental Justice by featuring a guest speaker with years of both personal and professional experience working with concerned citizens to shut down the local landfill. To tie it all together at the end of the event, a UNCG professor from the new Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality program moderated a lively panel discussion that presented the environmental perspectives of students representing African American and Latino minorities.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
The event was a huge success with approximately 100 people in attendance throughout the event. Based on casual observations, most attendees were students and the crowd was fairly diverse overall with representing by more than two different minority groups .

Why a perforated metal building facade is still the top choice
Look around any big city and you'll see a type of perforated metal building facade on almost every corner.
Here's why perforated metal is still rising up above wood and glass as the top facade material choice, as architects strive to reach new heights of sustainable building design:
Customisation choice and flexibility
No other facade material can be customised the way perforated metal can. It gives architects the ability to make a building truly unique without compromising on facade function.
Perforations can be CAD-designed to spell out words, illustrations, logos and graphics. Perforated metal sheets can be folded to create intricate building envelopes.
Take a look at the facade Arrow Metal created for Cowper Street block, Granville. It features lines from a poem and a graphic of the local river.
Or the facade of Wayside Chapel which we perforated to incorporate the church's motto.
And the wave design featured on a coastal apartment block in Bay Street, Brighton le Sands.
Our specialist team carefully manufactured all these facades to meet the architect's strict specifications, whilst still maintaining performance.
Options for all project budgets
Standard profile perforated metal can be transformed through metal finish if project funds don't stretch to a customised perforated metal building facade.
The Arrow Metal team can advise on colours, weathered or metallic effects, to help you create wow-factor perforated metal building facades that meet your budget. We can also advise on the right metal finishes for durability, in coastal or high temperature climates.
Sustainability & energy savings
Perforated metal is one of the greenest building materials around when sustainability is a key architectural focus. A perforated metal building facade can help reduce a building's energy costs by maintaining building temperature. It also maximises natural air flow and ventilation and reduces solar heat and glare.
It's also infinitely recyclable. And at Arrow Metal all our perforated metal is manufactured according to strict ISO environmental standards.
Screening with a view
Building occupants need shade and privacy. But also don't want window views to be compromised by screening. A perforated metal building facade ticks all the boxes because it allows light and views to shine through.
The metal shutter facade Arrow Metal created for the new Infinity apartments in Canterbury features 500 individual folded panels.
Arrow Metal: Perforated metal building facade expertise
Contact the Arrow Metal team about your project and perforated metal building facade ideas. We can help with specification and budget control, advising on the right profile and finish. Call us on (02) 9748 2200 or send us an online enquiry.
