There are many species of mosquito [ commonly known as 'mozzies' ] found throughout the world.

In many parts of the world, mosquitoes carry diseases and recently we have had press reports of the 'Zika' and 'Killer' mosquitoes now being present in the UK.
Mosquitoes and Midges thrive in warm, damp conditions such as near marshland or wetland. Mosquitoes can also be found in ponds or water butts in the garden. Dawn and dusk are times when mosquitoes and midges are very active as they search for a blood meal. They both have an ability to detect carbon dioxide [ that we exhale ] from about 200 metres away which allows them to 'home in' for their next feast.

This is where the ideas start to take shape. I spent some time shopping around and found a few cool things that tie in with our colors and fabrics. We might use them; we might not, but DO NOT EDIT NOW! Just grab it, bring it home, and start to mix things together.
These caught my eye right away. This stone globe with a very hand-painted/tribal sort of feel is very fun. It's very different from the graphic zigzag fabric in its style, which I love. They work together, but sort-of amplify the strength of each other by being different. Not to mention the connection of Australia and crocodiles. That's just fun; and we love fun. The bright green thread will look fantastic on top of the yellow or crocodile fabric. But my absolute favorite is the mini colored clothespins. Total score.
Not only are these functional, but the repetition of these triangular shapes that are reflected in the zigzag fabric AND the crocodile mouths are awesome. This is something to notice. Write it down:
Keep it fresh in your mind so you will recognize it in other finds. I'm not sure how we will use them yet, but it will come together.
The next item, this stone yellow heart is a relative of the globe. It's bright and patterned with diamonds, (just two triangles put together ; ) And I love the sheen.
I also love the way it is loosely painted so you can see the translucency of the brush strokes just a bit. Putting it next to the very crisp solid pattern of the birdcage fabric allows each to have individual personalities while complementing each other.
My last find of the day was these green pull-knobs. The colors are perfect. The hands painted shapes with outlines are now becoming a common thread in our design. And the little white "beads" are repeated in our bird fabric.
Not a bad day. I think we have a good start. Now we need to take the trends: the free-hand painting, the triangles, of course our color palette, and look somewhere new. Go to pinterest, Google images, etsy, wherever you like to search on line. We now need to see if we can find just a few major pieces. It could be an area rug, a light fixture, a piece of furniture, but this needs to be something purposeful for our space.
I look forward to what you find tomorrow.

Local hero Mark "Mugen" Striegl steamrolled Do Gyeom Lee in the main event of URCC Colossal to become the new URCC Featherweight champion, Saturday, September 29, at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
Striegl wasn't intimidated by Lee's aggression as he took the South Korean down and immediately assumed a favorable position by transitioning to side control. Lee attempted to roll out of Striegl's grasp but the Baguio native saw an opening and slapped on a guillotine choke.
After struggling for position, Lee was able to find his footing but failed to shrug off Striegl who was still squeezing on his neck. Striegl – who was smelling blood midway in the first round – turned the pressure up by pushing his opponent against the fence.
Refusing to give up, Lee passed out as Striegl cranked on his neck on a standing guillotine position. The referee stopped the championship headliner at the 2:44 mark of the opening round.
"I can't lose in Manila, guys. I can't lose in Manila," the newly-minted Featherweight champion said during the post-fight interview.
Sugar Ray Estroso earned the heavyweight strap via unanimous decision against Caloy Baduria in the co-main event. "The Mammoth" outclassed Baduria, who had a hard time defending himself after suffering a right arm injury late in the first round.
Unable to use his notorious right hand, Baduria soldiered through the five rounds as Estroso peppered him with jabs and heavy blows to the head.
Also changing hands is the URCC women's flyweight title following Ji Yeon Seo's submission victory over Geli Bulaong. The Korean utilized her long limbs to prevent Bulaong from inflicting damage once the fight shifted to the ground.
Seo capitalized on an opportunity and locked in a triangle choke on the Filipina who was forced to tap before making it out first round.

Here are some Swedish Fish I will share with you today:
- I have been lying on the bathroom floor reading for the last hour. While Violet sleeps. I have the baby monitor resting on the john. I let the shower run cause I like running water/peace/can't hear phone. Yes, there could be invisible dried piss on the floor but if there is it's probably mine. No prob.
- This happened between the afternoon hours of 3 and 4pm. So yeah, while real men work at computers and in mines and under hoods in garages all over town...I lay in my own dried piss. Whatever.
- My favorite thing to do lately is to think about exercising again. I think about exercising so much without exercising that I think maybe the thinking about it is actually turning into exercise.
- I made my eggplant parm on Sunday. Orgasmic.
- I am sick of eggplant parm after six or seven servings over three days. If you want the rest...swing by.
- Violet received her Welcome To The World card from The White House yesterday. I tried smearing the Obamas signatures to convince myself they were real. No dice. If they had been real ink...I think, in retrospect, that I would have totally fucked them up trying to make sure.
- I am now on Twitter though I don't know why. Or for how long. I seriously have nothing much to say. Politics bore the hell out of me. I don't know how to make tiny URLs. Most of my days are horrifically boring. But, still, that hasn't stopped 34 trillion others, so why should it give me a second's pause. Don't follow me though... it isn't worth it.
- Me and my daughter played in outside dirt for the first time together in this life. That was Sunday afternoon, after I buried her in potato chip leaves. We scraped in the rich black soil until we both had Earth beneath our nails. She'll never remember it, but I'll never forget.
- That show SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Fuck that show; it's on too much. What is it six nights a week? Jesus. Dancing is cool and all, but, c'mon. No, on second thought: dancing is not that cool. It's impractical. Take that shit off the air. Or let Gordon Ramsey replace that whack-job Rosie O'Donnell-clone-mistake judge.
- I bought a used two-disc set of Peanuts 1970's specials for Violet/for Serge. Has six of the magic specials. Also, now I can stop hearing The Great Pumpkin in my sleep.
"If you try and hold my hand, Charlie Brown, I'm gonna sock you!"
- We've also started watching EMMETT OTTER'S JUG-BAND CHRISTMAS. So far, 678,000 viewings. My nostalgic affection for the show is...molding.
- Billy Joel and Elton John are coming here to Salt Lake on their COCAINE AND FURNITURE POLISH TOUR 2004-2015. I wonder if they actually stay here. In this city. After the show do they go to a hotel downtown and have a salad with Elton's special lump crab meat flown in from South Africa? Does Billy Joel settle back on a hotel bed not far from my house, in his Mets pj's, pick up the hot phone and order a room service Artisanal Cheese Plate and a Brownie Divinity Sundae?
Or do they just hop off the stage, limo to the airport, and jet to LAX and homes in the hills before the arena parking lot is even half empty?
They go, huh?
I knew it.

Alabama Homeowners Insurance
Alabama homeowners insurance is both affordable and easily obtainable in Alabama. Shop online for quotes and compare rates to find the policy that fits both your budget and your coverage requirements. From Birmingham, AL to Mobile, AL, you can find a homeowners policy to cover your residence in case of fire, flood, or hurricane.
Alabama homeowners insurance provides financial protection of your home in case of a disaster. In most cases if your home is under a mortgage, the financier requires that you carry a homeowners policy. There are many different types of homeowners policies. You should review several quotes before making your decision on which one to choose.
Types of Homeowners Insurance
Alabama homeowners insurance can cover almost any type of damage to a home. From accidents to earthquakes, there is a policy to fit the needs of the owner. Anytime you live in a coastal region, you should also consider your need for a hurricane policy. Hurricane coverage has changed somewhat in recent years. While the deductibles for damage from a hurricane used to be a flat rate, many companies are now using a percentage deductible instead.
A standard homeowners inurance policy in Alabama will cover your dwelling, other structures such as a detached garage, contents or personal property, and personal liability. For other perils such as hurricane, fire, landslide, or flood, you might want to consider adding a hazard policy. Each hazard provision covers specific natural hazards.
You may want to also include heftier personal liability coverage if you have many visitors to your house. Personal liability covers injury or damage to someone not living with you who is on your property. If you have children and your house is the location where the neighborhood kids like to gather, you might want to have increased personal liability in case one of them is injured while at your residence.
Regardless of which type of policy you choose, you will want to be sure to review the options carefully. Make sure you have covered any potential risks. You do not want to be surprised after the damage has already occurred. Talk to the carrier about items that could affect your residence and what types of coverage you need.
Shopping for Homeowner's Policies
There are several things to consider when shopping for Alabama homeowners insurance. Your first is what you would like to cover. You can cover the home, outbuildings, and personal contents, anything related to the property. If you have outbuildings, you may want to consider what you are storing in the buildings. If you have a shop full of tools for instance, you may want to purchase additional coverage for the outbuilding. The coverage of an outbuilding is usually based on a percentage of the overall property, so consider your needs carefully.
The next consideration while searching for Alabama homeowners insurance should be what kind of deductible you would like to pay. A deductible is the amount of money you will be responsible for in the event of damage to your home. If the deductible is $500 for instance and the damage to the home equals $2,000, the owner would be responsible for the first $500 and the carrier would cover the $1,500. Lower deductibles have higher premiums than a higher deductible.
When shopping for Alabama homeowners insurance, be sure to work with only licensed reputable insurance companies. Compare the quotes and determine which offers the best customer assistance, cost savings, deductibles, and coverage available. By shopping around you will be sure to get the best available price and coverage for your house.
Cost Savings
There are several cost savings ideas for Alabama homeowners insurance. You might want to consider adding a sprinkler system to the home, or deadbolt locks on all outside doors. These two items alone can provide you discounts while also increasing security and safety. Alabama owners who are seniors can also get discounts from many insurance companies. In addition, if you are in the military, there may be military discounts available to you. Be sure to ask your provider what discounts are available and take advantage of the savings.
Another cost saving idea is combining all of your insurances under one carrier to gain discounts. Many insurance companies can give you multi-policy discounts if you carry your auto, business, and homeowners insurance together. This can save an Alabama owner hundreds of dollars in some cases.
Alabama homeowners insurance is a great way to cover your Alabama home and belongings in case of a natural disaster or personal injury to a visitor. With so many affordable options available in Alabama for homeowners, you can easily find a policy to fit your needs and your budgets. Be sure to shop around and compare quotes from reputable insurance carriers. Shop online for Alabama homeowners insurance and start protecting your property today.

Filtering Data by Qualifying EventsChip Lynch Oct 2, 2013 1:32 PM
Welcome to today's post where I ask a question that I think is difficult and someone gives me a fantastic reply in, say, 30 minutes.
I'm struggling with a problem in healthcare data. I have a large dataset of members with claims with specific dates and diagnoses. My users want to explore how members with particular conditions fare over time.
For example, we'd like to split the population into people who ever had Asthma or Schizophrenia or Toe Fungus vs. people who did not, and compare the number of claims, severity, cost, diagnoses, and procedures across those sets. There are thousands of diagnoses, so building a separate flag for each possibility is arduous. I'm looking for a better way.
I've attached an example using Tableau's sample "Orders" data which almost-but-not-quite works. Here I use the "Product Sub-Category" as the qualifying event. That is, the user can select any Product Sub-Category, and the data set is divided into Customers who have ever purchased something in that Sub-Category (Qualified), and those who have not (Non-Qualified). Except the "Qualified" group generally appears as an asterisk (undefined). This makes sens, I just can't quite figure out how to get around it.
In the attached example I have "Paper" selected as the user-selectable sub-category. This is an important example because there exist customers who have never bought Paper, customers who have bought paper and something else (ever), and customers who have ONLY bought Paper. All three groups must be accommodated. I don't mind if the latter two are combined (as "Qualified"), but in my example they are not, since the attribute is undefined ("*") for Customers who had both.
In a perfect solution, I could base the Qualified flag on a selection of multiple things, for example Product Sub-Category, Product Name, or Total amount spent (i.e. separate my big spenders from little spenders), but I'll take it one step at a time.
Some oft-requested tableau features would help, such as passing the parameter to custom filter or SQL, so I could calculate only one value (Qualified/Non-Qualified) for each Customer. But can anything be done with the Tableau 8.0?
Many thanks!

How About a Travel Expense Rebate?
(Pay for Your Gas or Hotel!)
We truly appreciate your business. Of course, everyone tells you that (or at least they should). We wanted to demonstrate our appreciation in a little more tangible way. That's why when you purchase a home through John Holloway, Sr., I'll rebate you a check in the amount of $125.00 to use as you see fit. it might be to pay for the gas on your trip. Maybe a night or two at a motel...it could even be for a night out on the town (to celebrate your new purchase). We don't require receipts either. The point is...we don't care what you use it for. It's just another way for us to say "Thanks!"
NEW FOR THIS YEAR - Instead of the above, how about a gift certificate redeemable at Crystal River Harley-Davidson. You can spend $125.00 for clothes, accessories or anything else you desire. You're going to love riding here in the Nature Coast. After all, we offer some of the best riding in all of Florida and you want to look good don't you?
Wait - It gets even better!
If you qualify, I'll even pay for your first years dues in the Nature Coast Chapter of the Harley Owners Group (Crystal River HOG). Travel expenses or gift certificate - The choice is yours!
The Rules (so simple you can hardly call them rules...)
They're really pretty simple. You must purchase a home (which for this discussion could be a condo, villa, mobile home or single family) that sells for more than $100,000. FAIR WARNING: You'll need to print this page out and present it to us prior to entering into a contract to purchase. We won't deviate from this requirement so please don't ask us to. Please note that this offer may not be combined with any other offer for compensation that may be made to you without prior approval from The Holloway Team. That's about it. No small print. No hoops to jump thru. You'll receive a check from John Holloway at closing. Now we know that a check for $125.00 or a gift certificate isn't going to change your life one way or another in the big picture. But it may just make the home buying process a little easier on your pocketbook. Thanks again!

Lying just to the south of the Arctic Circle, Iceland is one of the least populated countries in Europe.
During the summer months the long hours of daylight allow you to fully explore all parts of the island, just don't forget to take a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon.
Due to its remote location, the traditional cuisine of Iceland is unique and includes specialties such as fermented shark and boiled sheep's head.
Despite its small population, Iceland has seen a huge increase in foreign visitors in recent years due to its unique atmosphere and largely untouched natural beauty.
Although the winter months are cold and dark, it is still popular as it is the best time to experience the spectacular northern lights.
Reykjavik is home to around two thirds of Icelanders and is famous as the northernmost capital city in the world.
However, the winter months can still bring plenty of heavy snow and days where the sun barely breaks the horizon.
And just to highlight the small size of the Icelandic population; if you want to contact a local during your stay you will find the entire country fits into one phone book.
Despite its far-north location, Iceland enjoys a much more pleasant climate than you might think thanks to the Gulf Stream which brings warmer waters right across the Atlantic Ocean from Mexico.
The long dark winter might explain why Iceland has the highest per capita cinema attendance in the world.
Due to its remote location, Iceland has developed its own unique cuisine over hundreds of years.
Whale meat, fermented shark and boiled sheep's head are all on the menu but are unlikely to be to everyone's taste.
If the thought of these unusual dishes doesn't appeal then you could always warm your appetite with a few glasses of the local schnapps that literally translates as Black Death.
Some of the country's traditional dishes may be familiar such as smoked lamb, hotdogs and salted fish; however, there are many others that you are unlikely to have come across before.
If you are just looking for a snack, you could also try some fish jerky or a pickled ram's testicle.
Developed from the Old Norse that was spoken by the Vikings over a thousand years ago, Icelandic is a unique language that is typically quite difficult for most foreigners to understand.
Simply having a go at communicating in the local language is always a great way to feel more at home and to make friends among the people you meet.
However, if you plan on staying for more than just a few days you might want to practice some of these words and phrases.
Luckily, English is widely spoken in Iceland, but don't let that stop you from trying some of these simple greetings and pleasantries.

Advantages of Heterogeneous Clusters
Homogenous Spot clusters in Qubole Data Service (QDS) have already been observed to show savings of up to 80% over on-demand clusters (and for this reason – are extremely popular with our customer base – with 50% of compute hours in QDS coming from Spot instances). With heterogeneous Spot clusters – we are now seeing these cost savings exceed 90% against on-demand clusters.Watch this on-demand webinar, where Justin Wainwright, Systems Analyst from the Oracle Data Cloud team talks about their heterogeneous cluster setup on QDS which allows customers to mix-and-match EC2 instances of different types within the same cluster – leading to significant cost savings and more reliable clusters. These instances can come from different instance families as well as different purchasing options (like on-demand and Spot).
Justin Wainwright, Oracle Systems Analyst – Focused on the Qubole Platform
Godan Yao of Qubole rounds out the discussion when he dives into tuning for performance and total cost of ownership in the cloud. Heterogeneous clusters on QDS, provide a cost effective solution to balancing performance and cost.
- Learn how Oracle was able to:
- Solve the problem of finding Big Data/Hadoop expertise
- Seamlessly meet their SLAs for analytic demands
- Create a scalable platform for managed access in the cloud
- Save up to 90% over on-demand clusters

Oh man, oh man. Mark has had such a rough 6 months. He has been perfectly healthy (except for the normal bouts with colds and normal things like that) all 9 years that I've known him. For the past 6 years, he has been the healthiest that he has ever been in his entire life— so to have my husband totally wrecked by some unknown sickness has been crazy hard.
Hard in that I want to fix him and make it all better. I want my husband to feel really good again and have multiple great days in a row! (Seeing my husband suffer has to be one of the worst things I've ever experienced)
Hard because some days I need to talk through life stuff, vent, cry, and basically have someone to help me with all of my big emotions and he just can't.
Also hard because his terrible days come out of nowhere and are totally unpredicted.
Being out of control and not having answers is extremely hard.
We think that we have figured out what he's got going on, but time will tell. In the meantime, please send prayers…and DO NOT take your good health for granted!
On a positive note, Hudson is thriving! Our sweet boy is growing like crazy, eating like a person twice his size, talking up a storm (although I still can't make out half of it), still vacuuming every day, making new friends at preschool, and absolutely loves running all over our yard and flushing the toilet (although he's not potty-trained and we aren't quite to the point of working on that yet). He's definitely asserting himself more and he gives us a good tantrum at least once a day— usually over something like having to wear clothes or because I won't let him bring a pan and spoon with him to run errands.
On another positive note, we've been eating a lot of good food lately. These are some MAJOR favorites that have been printed, laminated, and put into my binder of "recipes to make again:"
Paleomg Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Soup
Pioneer Woman Chili (SOOOOOO easy and SOOOOO delicious!!)
My Mom's Taco Soup <— this is not my mom's recipe, but it's similar (got to be in the family for the real deal! ;))
Maple & Garlic Grilled Tenderloin
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Collagen Coffee (seriously amazing!!)
AND….last but not least, I've been stocking on some basic cooler weather stuff for me and Hudson. I'm a sucker for a crazy good deal:
- Gap – shop the Great Big Fall Sale for up to 60% off, the Outerwear Shop for new coats & jackets for kids, and the new Fall Shoe Collection for the whole family
- Old Navy – shop the Thank You Event for 30-40% off, the Old Navy Active Collection, and cozy must-haves for the littles
- EVERYTHING at Express is 40% off
- The MOST comfortable weekend lounge clothing in the world: Lou & Grey extra 30% off sale items
- An extra 40% off PLUS free shipping on Outlet Items at Reebok with code OCT40 (I wear the crud out of this hoodie and with the discount it's only $24!)

This isn't a review. This is a heads up that this is a true story that will touch your hearts. I use to work with a boy with autism when I worked with children, it pained me to see others treat the young lad differently. This book, I hope, will explain to countless adults and children alike what it is like growing up with autism. The young boy who wrote this has done very well.

Review of Blood Faerie by India Drummond
Story Overview:
Eilidh is a person from a magical realm banished for crimes which were not her fault. Munroe is a police officer Perth who has a bad habit of knowing where the trouble is. But when a murder happens on Eilidh's doorstep their two worlds collide and the investigation turns up hidden traits in both of them. This book has all the intrigue and whodunit as the best detective novel and an excellent fantasy basis that it rich in history and still feels fresh.
The cover is very well professionally done and draws a potential reader into several key focus' on the page. The cover is typical of the fantasy market in which magical creatures live alongside humans and interact with them in secret and gives little away as to what is going to happen in the story, much as the magical creatures of such book give little away about themselves. However my one criticism is that the cover gives me a sense that the story will be based in a historical context and not a modern urban fantasy book as it is. While it is not a negative point and it does add proof that one should never judge a book by the cover, some people may be upset while others may miss out on what is an enjoyable book.
Character (and their development): 18/20
Both the main characters in the story are well thought-out and as you read you can almost hear their voices and feel you could reach out and touch them. The best part of Eilidh's story is her background and how as the story progresses you catch glimpses of her chequered history until near the end you can be sure exactly what happened. When I read the book I was at first unsure of whether or not to feel sorry for the outcast or not, but as I went on my attitudes toward her changed as any good character should force you to do.
Munroe is an policeman who seems as if he could very well be knocking on my door asking me about some crime that has happened in the area. His analytical approach and the way that he discovers the new world that he is thrust into are well played and he reacts just as he should. The master stroke of the character is that he is not the Sherlock Holmes of Perth; instead he makes mistakes that anyone who has read the book knows is are mistakes, but Munroe who has not had the benefit of reading the antagonist's thoughts would not know.
The antagonist is a brilliant idea, however not a new one to fantasy books. However his wit is up there with the best Bond villains and he is more deadly than anything some of our best action heroes have met in literature to. I would have loved to have seen more of the antagonist and gotten to know them a little better, but as it stands they are still one of the better villains in indie literature.
Storyline: 18/20
The story is not unique in any sense, in fact off the top of my head I can think of several films and books that have the same story, although the players are obviously different. What makes this story is that it feels fresh and you aren't feeling bored by it and that is due to the uniqueness of the world in which the author has so brilliantly crafted in the novel. Another great factor is the fact that the author doesn't mess you around with useless back-story at the beginning of the book and that the characters are immediately thrust into action, giving the reader little time to catch their breath at the start.
Unfortunately, speaking more about the storyline will give away certain plot lines and I would prefer that you would just accept my recommendation and read it yourself.
Style: 20/20
The thing I love about indie authors is that style is very different author from author. When I pick up a traditional author the style can often be no different from the next and to be honest bores me to pieces. Its why when I write reviews for traditionally published authors their style is normally low in marks and their storyline is either high in marks or it has completely failed to hit the mark. Saying that indie authors don't always have great style, some do get it wrong, but this is certainly not the case.
The book starts with a pronunciation list at the front of the book, this gives some clarification on how unusual words should be pronounced, allowing the reader (if they are like me and printed off the list) to continue reading at the pace set by the book with just a quick flick down to check how it should sound. However I do wonder whether a casual reader would do so, and might stumble in a few places, but personally, even if this was a print copy I was reading, I would copy that list down. The author also does a great introduction to the world, not assuming that the reader is telepathic and knows exactly what the author was thinking when she wrote the book. It is a great move.
The descriptive tone of the book adds to the environment and just like the characters you can certainly clearly imagine the surroundings you are reading about. The change of the character's viewpoints is also brilliant done and in such a way that one event is sometimes seen by a couple of characters but you get extra details from each new point of view.
The pace of the book is not too rushed, allowing the reader to fully take in what is going on and appreciate the story at the same time. When reading the book I had no idea I had gotten so far until I looked at the page number when I gotten up to get a cup of tea, surely a good sign. The build up also allows the reader to get excited when the ending is in sight and you know something big will happen. When the big event does occur you can be rest assured that it is good.
Spelling and Grammar: 20/20
I couldn't see a single mistake. What more can I say.
Conclusion: 95/100
In conclusion I will have to say this is a great book and well worth a read. The characters are well thought out and interact with each other and the reader in some of the best writing that I have seen to date. The writing is perfect and the ending of the story leaves the reader satisfied and yet opens up the door to further books which follow this one. I would highly recommend this book.

Review for "Trading In Danger" by Elizabeth Moon
This is not an Indie e-book, but as another example of the reviews that I do, I thought I would post this one anyway.
Story Overview:
Story Overview:
Some time in the future, humans have expanded across the galaxy and have settled many words. Each world is self governing and there is little unity between them. Ky, the protagonist, is a member of a very wealthy family of traders whose attempts to escape that way of life and join the military are ended by a rash decision to help a subordinate. As she returns home in disgrace her family have a plan for her, to command one of their ships on a long term trading mission. Ky accepts and finds that the life that she so tried to leave behind still runs through her blood, yet the life she tried to make for herself away from home is still very close.
Cover Page: 10/20
The British version, of a non-descriptive ship looks pretty but does little to stand out against the vast majority of other titles that also have the same style of picture on the front. It does little to attract the imagination and excite the mind. On the plus side the ship does look more realistic than ships from other space operas.
Character (and their development): 15/20
The whole story is centered around Ky and her coming to terms of who she is and dealing with the crisis that comes aboard her ship. While there are supporting characters, in this book they are little more than guides to help her down the track and have little if any development. Ky herself develops little within the book, but where she does develop is excellent portrayed and well written. I would however liked to have seen a few more memorable characters, it was hard to tell some of them apart by the end.
Storyline: 20/20
This is where the book really does excel itself. Starting right off in the action, Ky is brilliant thrown from one piece of action to the next. Her emotion is played so well that she alone could carry the story and that she becomes someone who develops from being a reactive character to a proactive character. Unlike some science fiction stories this story could be based (with some minor changes) in any time period, making it seem more real and tangible, not easy for a space opera.
There is a strong sense of that submarine feel as they are stuck on the ship for days on end without anything to do but duty, eat and sleep. How the main character deals with this is brilliant portrayed and did make me wonder how I would be able to cope. The big crisis towards the end of the book is well written and is satisfyingly done so that it takes it time to resolve and yet is not too drawn out.
However I do feel that the end of the book was too drawn out and I was wondering at times when it was going to end. It does feel the author debated for a while whether this would be a single or a series of books, with the latter winning.
Style: 15/20
This is something that is the trouble of traditionally published authors. The style is rather similar to the next. Although this makes it easy for any reader to pick up and enjoy, it doesn't create any freshness from the style or any differentiation from any other author. So all I can really say about the style is that is traditional and nothing special.
Spelling and Grammar: 19/20
Most people would expect a book that has been written by a traditional published author, seen by an agent, edited by an editor or three and proof read by others would be completely free from errors. However consider that you are talking about a book that could be 100,000 words or more. Even with all those people an odd word here and there would be easily missed. And that is all that the author does here, an odd word. So in all a nearly perfect write.
Conclusion: 79/100
Despite the score which is not particularly high, I actually recommend the book very highly. the score is compelling and the main protagonist is excellent. However what it lacks is depth of the universe. If you like books where there is only one prominent character than this is a must buy, but if you like books with lots of characters then perhaps this book isn't for you. However I would like to add at this point that books 2-5 in the series did go a long way to expand the character list and would receive a much better score in this area.

Review for "Song of the Fairy Queen" by Valerie Douglas
Our first review is in...
Story Overview:
Set in a fictional fantasy world, this story tells the story of a King deposed by his brother and his attempt to regain his crown with the help of his loyal General; Morgan and his Marshalls and the mysterious and beautiful Queen of the Fairies. As can be expected from such a book, there is battle scenes, lives lost, magic, mythical creatures and romance.
A striking and bold statement on the front cover that when I look at it draws me in. The character on the front of the book surely is someone that I wouldn't expect to be a fairy and that adds to the appeal of the book - there is a new twist to a well known mythical creature. My only nitpicking (and it is nitpicking) is that with the wings and the arrow holder visible, it is evident that they aren't connected, but that is really being nitpicking.
Character (and their development): 18/20
The depth and the development of the characters have been excellent shown within the writing and as you read the story you do feel that they are changing with the events which are unfolding. My original concern with the book was that there were too many characters introduced too quickly and at the beginning I was checking on who was who. However by chapter three or four I had gotten use to all the characters and felt that I knew them well. The emotion felt by all the characters is especially done well and is not easily resolved by any of them. For instance; you can really feel the emotional pain that King suffers as he loses his wife and his journey to cope the sadness. There are also no two dimensional characters, even the most minor of character has his or her own distinct character.
Storyline: 18/20
The start of the story is strikingly good. As the attack of the castle commences there is the sense of the confusion and panic which is often associated with battle, adding to an excellent atmosphere. As the battle continues there are many questions asked but very answers at the time, left for the reader to get the information in little pieces as the book progresses, just as if you were a defender in the castle from the surprise attack. I loved reading about the fairies, having only really touched upon fairies from Peter Pan, I can honestly say I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly happy with the way the author has taken a mythical creature and made it her own. She has also done the same with another mythical creature, but I'll leave that for you to discover in the book. The fact that the back story to the universe has been well established in the book makes you feel as if this isn't just a made up story but a tale of a real work.
The only disappointments in the storyline was the fact that it was a brother who overthrew the King, which I tend to think is too obvious (however an Uncle would certainly have been worse) and the fact that the passage of time sometimes seems too quick. I wonder if there was a chance for several books here or a longer novel exploring what happened in the weeks between chapters.
Style: 18/20
By delving straight into the action you immediately get hooked onto the story and immediate loss of a character that seems so promising is an excellent way for the ready to keep on guessing who is safe and who is not. The actual writing is very descriptive to the point where I could almost draw images of what was around the main characters or try for a good picture of the characters themselves. Yet the author doesn't describe too much in the battle, instead keeps the action moving and speed fast, forcing the reader to read at the pace of the battle, adding to the sense of chaos and blurriness that battle can bring. However I found the change in perspective every couple of paragraphs at time a little confusing and sometimes frustrating as I had little indication as when the change was made and who it was changed to.
Spelling and Grammar: 17/20
If search for other books by Valerie Douglas and her works, you will find reviews commenting on her poor spelling and grammar. You'll also find those who say it is great and there is nothing to worry about. To be honest, there are a few mistakes, but if you look at some of the great works out there, there is a lot of mistakes too. I tend to look at mistakes as if I am driving down a road and a mistake is a pot hole. If my car goes over the pot hole and I don't notice anything but a little bump then what is the problem, after all we are all human. However if it can break my car, then I am worried. In the case of this novel there is nothing here that would destroy the car. The mistakes, which are all word misplacement (rather than spelling), are few and far between, and often it is obvious what was supposed to be there that the reader could easily read over them without noticing.
Conclusion: 90/100
A highly enjoyable book, which if I am honest I couldn't put down despite not being on my usual reading pile. I enjoyed the battle scenes, the romance scenes and the friendships that grew from the book. If this review was on Amazon, this would get five stars and I truly hope that more people give this book a try and the recognition that it so deserves.

San Diego is huge this year. A segment of the new addition to the convention center is complete. There's a huge new addition to the con now, adding about another 25% or so to the floor size.
To make use of the space, the convention organizers have moved Artist's Alley to the new wing. The dealers must have loved this. The Artists Alley is on one far side off to the left and the comics companies are off to the far right. The dealers are in the middle and getting all the extra traffic through the middle of the convention hall.
The Artists Alley end of things is half filled with artists and half with really large exhibits. The Mattel people are there with a huge He-Man: Maters of the Universe exhibit. They play episodes of the 80s series on large screens while three guys dressed in orange and white shirts attract an incredibly and inexplicably long line. Just across from there is a large G.I. JOE display with new figures and whatnot on display. The upcoming TIME MACHINE has a mammoth (by San Diego standards) booth size with movie props and trailers playing that rival any of the major publishers.
The Artists Alley is still half empty today. But there are a lot of great people in there. I had the chance to talk to Steve Lieber, although I've run out of books for him to sign or draw sketches in. Sitting right next to him is SUPERGIRL's Leonard Kirk, whose stack of original art is just way too tempting. He showed me the pencils and photocopies for the next three issues, and it's extremely sharp stuff. Robin Riggs has been experimenting with his art style and is using a slightly thicker line to pop things off the page with. Looks good so far, but I'm a bit worried it could veer off into a manga look. I'll give it some time.
Talked to John Lustig, of LAST KISS fame. If you're in San Diego, please go take a look at his stuff. He's down to his last batch of LAST KISS #1 issues. With number 2 on the way next month, you should jump on the bandwagon now. Picked up a couple of t-shirts for myself. You can also get some magnets or signed lithographs if you're into those sorts of things.
Had the pleasure of chatting with Rick Geary and his wife, Deborah. They are really nice people. If you ever get the chance to meet them at a con, do so. If you need a talking point, you can jump in with Rick's appearance on JEOPARDY! a few years ago. No, he didn't win. And Alex Trebek only looked slightly confounded when Rick mentioned that he didn't draw Spider-Man. In any case, I picked up a paperback original graphic novel detailing the assassination of James Garfield. The American History minor in me is excited to read this.
There are some awkward layout issues at the con this year. Men of Action - the new collective that includes Joe Casey, Duncan Rouleau, and Joe Kelly - has a booth in the midst of a batch of dealers a couple of rows away from Artists Alley. Erik Larsen's table is in Artist's Alley now instead of in the Image Pavilion. That's just two of them. I wish the dealer's section could be worked out better to segment the various types, too. Put all the bootleg video dealers together so the local cops have quick one stop shopping if they so decide. Put all the original art dealers together in one large area. I realize this is a daunting and potentially impossible task, but I'd love to see it someday.
There are always going to be these odd associations every year. The con floor is such an immense place that laying it out can only be a nightmare of amazing proportions. I give the con organizers credit for getting as much right as they do every year. The art show is downstairs this year, where the Artist's Alley used to be. And the art auction is over by the Artist's Alley, too. I think that, for example, makes a lot of sense.
The booth babe quotient is down, but since all the Dot Com money has flown out the window, I imagine that it's a given. Eruptor is gone. NPO is dead and buried in Thor's toilet. Fandom isn't draining cash with girls in silver skirts. Icebox melted away. And Toonscape's aluminum pencil cases will be absent at the Eisners tomorrow night.
It's a healthier con altogether. The cutest darn image of the day: At the Marvel booth, Spider-Man was crouched down on the floor with a little four year old girl who was playing with a balloon. A whole crowd was gathered round taking pictures. If only more people were getting pictures like that instead of the ones they were getting with the model in a black wig dressed up as Elektra holding a sai to their throats...
The CrossGen booth is VERY impressive this year. It's just as big as Marvel's or DC's, I'd guess. Tables are set up in the middle for the various creative teams to sit at and sign. They all drew consistent lines of 6 to 10 people that I saw, although the lines were moving fairly slowly, probably due to artists sketching and whatnot. I'd love to talk to those creators (must swap diabetes stories with George Perez), but I just don't have the patience for standing in line after line.
Mike Kunkel's HEROBEAR AND THE KID booth continues to expand. For a man with only three issues of a comic book to his name, he's sure merchandising the heck out of those images. In the brief glances I got, I noticed two new lithographs, a flipbook, and some new t-shirts. He also had some of his original art on display, and the usual assortment of comics and beanie baby type thing.
Steve Troop's MAYBERRY MELONPOOL was getting a stream of attention, most likely due to the lineup of Melonpool puppets that adorn his booth. They're quite eye catching. I picked up a copy of his original self-published Melonpool comic from about 5 years ago. It has that early Melonpool style to it, but its still nifty looking. Haven't had the chance to read it yet.
I only ended up attending two panels today. The first was the Comics Journalism on the Internet, hosted by Charles Brownstein, and featuring Rick Veitch, Maggie Thompson, Matt Brady, Jonah Weiland, and Anne something from The Comics Journal. (Sorry; her name was not available on a placard and I missed it when given. I hope the gang at Fantagraphics will forgive me tomorrow. I'll pick up the new JOURNAL issue from them tomorrow in return.)
Overall, it seemed like the panel and the attendants were just talking amongst themselves. Quite honestly, I don't see how constructive it could have been. It seemed that everyone there was writing for a web site already and had a vested interest. That's fine and all - it's to be expected. But there's an amount of Preaching to the Converted here, and I was a bit disappointed that a couple of the behind-the-scenes stories given as examples of comics journalism were left incomplete and missing crucial details.
In the end, though, everyone got along. The one thought that I found most interesting came from Maggie Thompson, who pointed out that there is no real single wide-ranging internet site that covers it all -- from editorial cartoons to comic strips to indie comics to major company books to movie stuff and more. The field of comics is immense today and most comics web sites thrive on one particular niche of it.
One of the inherent problems with that broadening the focus of a web site is that it's a scheme that just isn't supported terribly well. People like their websites focused. And the second you try being all things to all people is the second you lose that focus and your website dies. We've already seen examples of sites trying to be a comics site as well as a movie site as well as a science-fiction site doesn't really work all that well, or it does at the expense of one or more of the sections.
The Image Q&A panel was hosted by Jim Valentino, with Anthony Bozzi in a very quiet role sitting next to him. Valentino fielded questions for an hour from a crowd made up mostly of young wannabe creators, who spent most of the hour grilling him on the Image submissions process. Valentino reiterated multiple times that
- Image does not pair artists and writers, but will suggest letterers or colorists where necessary.
- Image gets 20 to 50 submissions a week and most get killfiled. If Valentino doesn't like it, the submission gets tossed in the can. It's part of his "Touch It Once" philosophy. By throwing it out after rejecting it, he assures himself that he won't see it again.
It costs $20,000 just to print up a trade paperback, so you had better be sure to have something that will sell. And that's for a moderate range print run.
When I asked Valentino about it after the panel, he said that a trade like RED STAR was collected into will be much more expensive than that, just due to the paper size. It's unfortunate, but that format is really limiting, for financial reasons. I got a look at the forthcoming sixth issue while I was at the Image table. It's another beautiful book. It seems like the team at RED STAR decided to experiment a little with the colors. This issue is much brighter and bolder. There are more primary colors used in this issue than the past five combined.
Speaking of money, the topic of the 1963 Annual came up and Valentino used it to make a point about something. By working at Image, the final profit or loss is the creator's. If the book is going to lose money, the Image Central Office will be giving the creator a call to apprise him or her that it might not be a great idea to publish the book. The creator - not Image --- will be responsible for the money owed at the end of the day.
1963 came out during the boom years. Valentino wrote a check out to Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, and Steve Bissette for a million dollars. That was their profit on the book. Image Central kept their standard printing fees for the book and nothing else.
When asked about bringing back GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, Valentino replied with a laugh that it's "sorta like an old girlfriend. You don't look forward to seeing her again."
He's promised a big announcement at the Image panel on Saturday afternoon. It's Image's tenth anniversary. We already know that Valentino plans to bring ShadowHawk back. And Erik Larsen will definitely be hitting issue #100 on the tenth anniversary, barring any further health issues. Rumors are swirling of some sort of Image Founding Father short story collection, but we won't know for sure until Saturday. Keep an eye out on The CBR News for all the details over the weekend.
One last thing about the panel: Bozzi had a great suggestion to all the writers in the crowd who were searching for an artist. Go to one of the long lines of artist wannabes at the Marvel and DC submissions table, and hook up with one of them. Find an artist you like and develop a rapport with them and see what happens from there.
By the end of the day, I picked up a load of books.
The Slave Labor booth was particularly attractive, if only because they have a credit card machine. I caught up on my SLEEPING DRAGONS issues (both three and four), got the highly acclaimed first two issues of PRIVATE BEACH, an odd MILK AND CHEESE issue, and got the first HECTIC PLANET trade that I needed to fill in the gap of Evan Dorkin's series. Then I found the first three issues of ODDJOB, which is now migrated to the web at oddjob.net.
The first issue of Andi Watson's latest series, SLOW NEWS DAY, is now available from the fine folks over at Slave Labor Graphics, too. When they're not playing hockey at night during comic book conventions, they put out a lovely set of books. I'm actually quite surprised and impressed every year at CCI: San Diego to see just how many good books they have that fly under the radar.
SLOW NEWS DAY is the story of an American abroad. This time, it's an American woman whose working the summer as an intern at a small newspaper in England. She had expected to be working in a professional London-based establishment, but instead got assigned to a failing one-reporter paper.
The tensions between her and the reporter are immediate and tangible. Watson does an excellent job at using small events to show the differences between Katharine, the American, and Owen, the reporter. The friction is part cultural, to be sure, but there's also personal tension between the two that is not helped by the little differences that can begin to grate on one's nerves. The genius of it all is that there's no exposition in this issue. It's all show, not tell. Aspiring writers would do well to study this issue.
Watson's art is as clear and iconic as ever. He isn't making use of the gray tones that he did in BREAKFAST AFTER NOON, but the art is still clear and simple. There's one cardboard-looking figure of Katharine on page 17, but otherwise everything looks great.
It's too soon to tell if this one will have the breakout power of BAN, but it is an enjoyable read. It appears that it will be slightly more upbeat in the end than the previous tale of woeful unemployment.
Meanwhile, at Larry Young's booth, I partook of the new DOUBLE IMAGE issue, and the first FOOT SOLDIERS trade. Then Larry kindly escorted me to see the FRIGHTENING CURVES guys, where I picked up their book.
(Just read Larry's DOUBLE IMAGE #5 story, with painted art from Aman Chaudhary. This story is just perfect proof that Larry is one sick %&$^. Even though I saw something like the final shock ending coming, it's still really well done by both creators. The paper quality for this issue has been upgraded to a slicker paper quality. Chaudhary art is also very easy on the eyes. He beautifully captures the intended feel for the character that we're supposed to get. Artistically speaking, the color choices are well done, with mostly earthen tones chosen to keep the story from being too fantastic looking. It's very well grounded.)
From Mike Brennan's table I picked up the next three issues of ELECTRIC GIRL. I recently wrote a review of the trade paperback colleting the first four issues of the series. Look for that review in this space sometime in the next couple of weeks.
I am going to have incredible indie cred if I ever get around to reviewing the rest of ths weekend's purchases.
I finally found Erik Larsen sitting at the Image Comics both around 4 p.m. Picked up next week's issue of THE SAVAGE DRAGON from him there. His Rob Haynes-type art style continues until about halfway through the issue, and the letters column is incredibly dense. I'll let you know more when I get the chance to read the darn thing.
Also picked up a couple of DRAGON hardcovers I needed to complete my collection of those, as well as a page of original art from his recent run on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. It's a very nice page between Peter Parker and Aunt May.
More madness to come tomorrow. That's when I get my sketchbook and really go to town. =)
For starters, I have to go autograph hunting from Richard Moore, whose BONEYARD is now up to its third issue. I also think I might pick something up from Phil Foglio's table. I need a con shirt, too.
I have no idea how this money is going to last the weekend. Might be time to hit the panels instead. ;-)

Chips and salsa is a very well-liked snack and practically a staple in American society. Apple pie spice and sweet dried cherries give this healthy snack hints of dessert indulgence. Serve them alone or attempt producing wholesome sodas" by mixing them with equal amounts of 100{c01552a9a33d3f0ca293271d316e2b6bac8d3ade6b6fd6a85e744fc552ad83d9} fruit juice. If you pick to make it a warm treat, bear in mind to add the m&m's right after baking so that they don't melt. The excellent point is that we can play a main role in producing a wholesome life for our little ones.
So this pizza of course could be complelty a veggie pizza which would make it a lot a lot more healthy but at least its a start and he ate it all up. By creating your personal meals at least you know what is going into it and can make it as healthy as feasible. Even when we are selecting healthy snacks we need to make positive we do not more than-do it. Attempt portioning out your snacks into single serving containers so that they are ready to go when you are hungry. Healthier youngsters snacks can also affect the lives of your young children making them much more healthful and alert.
When I was in college I had the hardest time eating healthy snacks, so I decided to get a bunch of fresh veggies and place a variety of every into tupperware containers like you recommended. You may possibly have typically heard of individuals eating four -five raw meals snacks throughout the day rather if the 3 meals a day system. For these occasions when your youngsters want to consume and run, it's a very good thought to designate a drawer or canister as their personal and preserve it filled with parentally authorized snacks. A favored Vietnamese sandwich gets reinvented as a single of our very best healthy snacks ever.
Most of the snacks served to young children should be fruits and vegetables, because most children do not consume the advisable 5 to thirteen servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Jelly rolls- These are 1 of my personal preferred since they are so effortless to make and the kids adore them. The trick is to carefully select the snacks that are helpful and hide the 'bad' ones that are likely to do you damage. Carbonated drinks like seltzer, sparkling water, and club soda are wholesome possibilities.
Lowered-fat cream cheese tends to make these healthy snacks luscious the spinach adds nutrients, and refrigerated pizza dough keeps them fuss totally free. I hope this list helps you determine what foods would work ideal in your pantry at residence. This is ok if it really is not also usually hopefully your close friends will listen to you about perhaps getting far more healthy snacks for the children subsequent time. Nuts and seeds can also be frozen with a mixture of a organic sweetener, raw cacao and other superfood powders for a sweet, yet healthier and filling snack. WARNING: A little but increasing number of youngsters have extreme peanut and/or tree nut allergies.

The first-generation Kia Cee'd ushered in a new design language for Kia in Europe, and it looks as if history is about to repeat itself. The next-generation Cee'd, which is slated to debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, appears to push the design envelope even further.
The latest Cee'd – which is likely to remain a European exclusive – remains a hatchback, but shares only its daylight opening shape with its forebear. The new Cee'd packs plenty of Kia's latest design DNA into a compact vehicle: the corporate "tiger nose" grille is more prominent than ever, and flanked by long, tapered headlamps and a dramatically flared hood. As usual, the car also receives LED running lamps placed along the lower edges of the headlamp housings.
Further back, the new Cee'd shares a number of cues with the smaller Rio: taillights are mounted high up the curvaceous rear end, although the bumper cut echoes the shape of the hatch stamping itself. The lower diffuser is also a little more sophisticated, with raised accents surrounding the rear reflectors, license plate, and lower diffuser.
Inside, the interior is anything but drab. Like the Optima, the Cee'd's instrument panel wraps into the center stack. Grey plastic materials used on the dashboard itself are broken up with strips of glossy piano black trim. Door panels are two-toned, and the leather seats shown here feature contrast stitching. The look is refreshingly high-end – which is welcome, considering the C-segment continues to move upmarket in around the globe.
As for the mechanicals, it's still anyone's guess: Kia has been tight-lipped about the car's selection of engines. Currently, European models feature a range of gasoline and diesel engines that make anywhere between 89 and 126 horsepower, but it's been rumored that the Procee'd, the three-door version of the Cee'd, could make use of the the same 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine used in the new Hyundai Veloster Turbo.
Also unknown at the moment is whether or not this car will make it to the United States. We wouldn't be surprised if it didn't: after all, the previous Cee'd was designed expressly for the European market, which left North America with the Forte. We may not see a Cee'd on our shores, but we can only hope the next Kia C-segment offering for North America looks this good.

What is Duty of Care?
A landmark in UK law, the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act came into force in 2008.
Informally known as the "Kill Bill", this legislation means that a company or organisation commits an offence if, in the way in which its activities are managed or organised causes a) a persons death, and b) amounts to a gross breach of a relevant duty of care owed by the organisation to the deceased.
What does duty of care mean for business fleets?
Your business has a duty of care obligation to any vehicle or driver who is engaged on company business.
If a death is caused or the company is found to have breached its duty of care obligations, substantial fines can be imposed and are unlimited but often sit between 2.5% and 10% of a companies annual turnover.
In addition to unlimited fines, the act also allows courts to impose a publicity order, requiring the organisation to publicise the details of its conviction and any fines imposed. A business' brand can be damaged beyond repair as well as staff recruitment, retention taking a knock. Needless to say, competitors would take advantage.
How do I ensure that I am compliant?
Covase offers a service called risk management. Typically this includes a collection of driver-related activities such as regular driving licence checks, online driver assessments, online training and one-to-one driver training.
