The Sorceress (3rd book in The Immortal Nicholas Flamel Series by Michael Scott) is coming out sometime in May of 2009 I think. The last Charlie Bone book should be coming out in 2009.
Sad thing is I have such a long list of to-read books I can't remember them off the top of my head.

I'm actually dying for more graphic novels! Lol, I have a bunch of books I still have to review so I don't know if I would be able to actually try looking for another one. But I really want to read the third installment for 'Why I Let My Hair Grow Out' and 'How I Found the Perfect Dress' by Maryrose Wood.
Ah she still have to reply to my interview questions... Not sure if she still remembers! Guess telling her do it anytime she wants is a bad idea, lol.

I want Leviathan (Scott Westerfeld's upcoming book) because I saw some of the art for it and it was amazing.

Hey! For some reason, this embedded comment form makes most people click twice before the comment is processed and published. It's not you - it's just that it's a new Blogger feature with kinks and all that. (But I adore it and don't wanna get rid of it!) I removed Captcha to make the process easier.

We present a method for obtaining coherent Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering (CRBS) spectra on timescales of hundreds of nanoseconds using rapidly chirped, pulsed, optical lattices. This enables us to transfer the spectral profile to a temporal profile which can be easily recorded on a single shot of an oscilloscope. These spectra are demonstrated to have sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to study CRBS models over a wide range of gas densities.

The region's most experienced eye care team, specializing in medicine on the forefront of medical technology.
Dr. William C. Christie, M.D. is an owner of Scott & Christie and Associates. He has been practicing ophthalmology since 1990 and has performed over 20,000 cataract procedures. Currently Dr. Christie offers cataract patients cutting-edge, multi-focal and accommodating lens technologies as well as the limbal relaxing surgical procedure which helps correct astigmatism.
Dr. Christie volunteers his time and expertise both locally and internationally. He is a board member of the Urban Impact Foundation, a Pittsburgh organization devoted to helping disadvantaged youth. Additionally, he has travelled several times to the Manna Mission Hospital in Ghana, Africa to perform cataract surgery for people who otherwise would not have access to vision care.
Dr. Daniel V. Zimmer, F.A.C.S. is an owner of Scott & Christie and Associates. He is board certified and fellowship trained cornea and refractive surgeon specializing in the treatment of corneal and external diseases. As an expert in laser vision correction, DSEK, corneal transplantation and cataract surgery, Dr. Zimmer was one of the first ophthalmologists to introduce LASIK in the Pittsburgh region.
Dr. Zimmer received his medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio and performed his internship at Mercy Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. He completed his residency training at Tulane Medical Center specializing in ophthalmology and was selected to perform his fellowship at the prestigious Wake Forest Eye Center focusing on corneal and refractive surgery.
Dr. Zimmer has more than 20 years experience in the field of ophthalmology. He is regarded as a leading authority on refractive procedures and continues to be involved in numerous FDA-sponsored clinical trials that enable eligible patients to have access to new therapies and technologies not yet available to the general public. He continues to contribute extensively to scientific literature and is dedicated to presenting recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal diseases.
Dr. Christopher M. Spearman, M.D. joins Scott & Christie Eyecare Associates in August, 2019. He grew up in Marshall Township, PA and attended Penn State University, where he received his degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Dr. Spearman received his medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and completed his internship at Lankenau Medical Center. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Spearman specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions including cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and dry eye disease. For patients undergoing cataract surgery, he offers laser assisted cataract surgery, multifocal lens technology, astigmatism correction, and simultaneous treatment of glaucoma utilizing minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
Dr. Spearman is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS). He enjoys spending time with his wife, Chrissy, daughter, Emily, and his dog, Zoey. His hobbies include snowboarding, SCUBA diving, running, and cooking.
Dr. Derek O'Donnell, O.D. is a native of the Butler County Area and is a graduate of Karns City High School. He attended Grove City College, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Molecular Biology. He continued his education at Nova Southeastern University where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Vision Science and a Doctoral Degree in Optometry.
Dr. O'Donnell has received clinical high honors for contact lens and pediatric care, and has continued to strive to offer the most innovative care for his patients. Beyond his role as a primary care optometrist, he was on staff at Elk Regional Health Center in St. Mary's, PA for emergency room care and hospital consultations involving the eye. His research on the focusing of the eye "accommodation" was published in the Journal of Optometry and has been presented at national optometric conventions. Dr. O'Donnell has been a clinical sub-investigator for multiple FDA studies including the latest innovations in glaucoma treatments, cataract surgery, presbyopia, and dry eye.
Outside of the office, Dr. O'Donnell likes to spend time with his wife and two children. He also enjoys being outdoors hunting and golfing.
Dr. Natasha (Tasha) Hindman, O.D. has been practicing optometry since 2003. She graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Biochemistry at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY, where she also played basketball, captaining her team. She then attended Pennsylvania College of Optometry (now Salus University) where she received a BS in Visual Science as well as her doctorate (OD).
At Scott and Christie Eyecare Associates, Dr. Hindman is the Director of Clinical Research, spending time working with clinical studies and trials to advance the technology of eyecare for the future. Additionally, she enjoys seeing patients of all ages (especially children) for routine exams, as well as treating dry eye, glaucoma, diabetes, and other ocular and systemic issues.
Dr. Hindman has done multiple charitable missions throughout the years traveling to underserved countries in Central and South America as well as Asia to provide free eyecare to people living there. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and stepdaughter, as well as playing and watching sports.
Dr. Shelley Diggins, O.D. knew at age 13 that she wanted to be an optometrist. (At age 12, she wanted to be an Indiana Jones-style archaeologist. Her family breathed a sigh of relief when she chose optometry instead.) Dr. Diggins also thrived in the sciences at Plum High School, choosing biology as her focus.
Dr. Diggins attended Saint Vincent College where she majored in biology with a minor in education. While at Saint Vincent, she worked as an extern at the Eye Clinic of UPMC. Her experiences there convinced her of optometry as a career choice. Dr. Diggins graduated with a Bachelor of Science in biology and a certification to teach.
Dr. Shelley Diggins went to Philadelphia to Pennsylvania College of Optometry (now Salus University) where she earned her Doctor of Optometry degree. She accepted her first job in Erie, Pennsylvania; there she worked in a customer-service driven optical company where she took care of patient vision needs. Motherhood taught her the necessity of childcare, so she moved back home to the Pittsburgh area.
Corporate optometry was where Dr. Diggins then spent 12 years learning more of compassionate patient care. She realized the importance of caring for and about patients regardless of the office environment. Dr. Diggins then made the transition to Scott & Christie and Associates to provide comprehensive eye care. This setting is ideal, as it allows Dr. Diggins to provide routine, medical and urgent eye care for patients based on their needs. Dr. Diggins realizes the vital need to provide patients the eye care that they need when they need it.
In her free time, Dr. Diggins likes to bike, hike and read. She still finds herself singing the alto part in the church choir and considering voice lessons.

Where it is: Domaine de la Fôt, 23300 Noth, rural Limousin region (France)
Website: http://www.chateaudelacazine.fr/en/
Who it is suitable for: romantic getaway, weddings, those who want to pamper themselves with spa-treatments and need a break from everyday stress
Thumbs up for…: friendly staff, lovely room with gorgeous decor
Thumbs down for…: the swimming pool. It was supposed to be heated, but I got myself an ice-cold surprise as I entered
Ah, those romantic weekend-getaways. People have different ways of spicing up their relationship. Castles, spa-treatments and local gastronomy is ours. Fortunately, me and my significant other live in France, where there's plenty of charming chateau-hotels to choose from and the restaurants will (most likely) not disappoint you. A lot of these classy chateaus offer bicycle rental, spa-treatments or have their own swimming pool and maybe even a tennis court.
Château de la Cazine offer all those things – and more. The chateau offers relaxing spa treatments and has an outdoor swimming pool for those who want to relax in the nice, supposedly heated water. It was freezing cold when we were there, though.
If swimming pools and spa-treatments don't interest you, then what about horse riding? Fishing? Or maybe you'd like to play tennis, rent a bicycle – go mountain biking if you're more of an adventurous type – or maybe you'd like to use the chateau's own gym? Remember, if you need a soothing sports massage after a good workout, you can get one of those here too!
Although the chateau is located in a rather remote area, it's safe to say you won't get bored. This beautiful venue is also frequently used for weddings and as a honeymoon location. In case you're a bride or groom to be; this place is perfect for that idyllic wedding in the french countryside. Just perfect.
And what are the rooms like? Sophisticated, old-fashioned and elegant en-suites, designed and decorated with a modern twist to the style of Louis XIV. You enter the room and immediately feel like a royal. I wore my invisible crown all day that day.
Now, let's talk about the restaurant.
At first I was slightly disappointed. We spent a long time waiting for the server to take our order. A very long time. So long, in fact, that we decided not to order any cheese or dessert, as we were afraid we'd be stuck there waiting impatiently for something that possibly wouldn't even arrive. The rest of the evening was fine. The meal was nice, the wine was good, the atmosphere was lovely. The breakfast the following morning was the typical french breakfast with bread, jam, pastries, coffee/tea and juice. They also served other things like ham and different kinds of cheese, to cater to the international crowd, I guess. That's a big plus.
After a lovely breakfast and a nice little chat with the lovely receptionist, it was time to check out and remove my invisible princess crown.

The OASIS standards consortium has announced the formation of a new technical committee to develop a universal global framework for supporting rapid discovery and sharing of suspected criminal and terrorist evidence by law enforcement agencies. The OASIS LegalXML Lawful Intercept XML (LI-XML) Technical Committee was formed to meet needs emerging from several national and intergovernmental mandates around the world, including the recently passed United States Homeland Security Information Sharing Act of 2002, the new Lawful Intercept additional protocol of the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, and eGovernment mandates in Europe and the United States. As part of the OASIS LegalXML Member Section, the LI-XML specification will be designed to support an end-to-end legal process where law enforcement, justice, and security agencies are the principal beneficiaries. LI-XML Technical Committee members plan to work closely with related OASIS efforts including the LegalXML Electronic Court Filing and OASIS eGovernment Technical Committees. Participation in the OASIS LegalXML LI-XML Technical Committee remains open to all organizations and individuals. OASIS will host an open mail list for public comment, and completed work will be available to the public without licensing or other fees.
OASIS has also announced the first in a series of XML.org Focus Areas to provide domain-specific content on XML standards. XML.org Focus Areas for Insurance, Human Resources, and Printing & Publishing are now publicly available, and new XML.org Focus Areas for other vertical and horizontal industries will be introduced periodically. Each XML.org Focus Area covers news, standards and initiatives, vendors, consortia, trade associations, government agencies and implementers, events, and resources germane to a specific domain. Through XML.org, OASIS partners with experts in each Focus Area to provide content and editorial guidance. The XML.org Focus Area on Insurance has been developed in conjunction with ACORD, a nonprofit association that facilitates the development and use of standards for the insurance, reinsurance, and related financial services industries. The XML.org Focus Area on Human Resources has been developed in cooperation with the HR-XML Consortium, a non-profit organization that develops and promotes XML specifications to enable ebusiness and the automation of human resources-related data exchanges. The XML.org Focus Area on Printing & Publishing has been developed in cooperation with IDEAlliance (founded as Graphic Communications Association), a membership organization that advances user-driven, cross-industry solutions for all publishing and content-related processes. XML.org Focus Areas will also serve as access-points to related information on the OASIS-hosted Cover Pages. Future XML.org Focus Areas will include Financial Services, Defense Logistics, Education, Tax/Accounting, EGovernment, Security, Retail, Localization & Globalization, and EMarketplaces. XML.org is sponsored by BEA Systems, Global Exchange Services, ISOGEN International, and SAP.

Fortekor flavour 20 mg for dogs between 20 and 80 kg 140 flavoured tablets
Treatment of congestive heart failure in dogs
FORTEKOR Flavour 20 mg Tablets for dogs
Each tablet contains:
Active substance: Benazepril hydrochloride 20 mg
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
Beige to light brown, ovaloid, divisible, tablet scored on both sides.
The tablets can be divided into halves.
4.1 Target species
4.2 Indications for use, specifying the target species
Treatment of congestive heart failure.
4.3 Contraindications
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Do not use in cases of hypotension, hypovolaemia, hyponatraemia or acute renal failure.
Do not use in cases of cardiac output failure due to aortic or pulmonary stenosis.
Do not use in pregnancy or lactation (section 4.7).
4.4 Special warnings for each target species
4.5 Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals
No evidence of renal toxicity of the veterinary medicinal product has been observed in dogs during clinical trials, however, as is routine in cases of chronic kidney disease, it is recommended to monitor plasma creatinine, urea and erythrocyte counts during therapy.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
Wash hands after use.
In case of accidental oral ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the label or the package leaflet to the physician.
Pregnant women should take special care to avoid accidental oral exposure because angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been found to affect the unborn child during pregnancy in humans.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
In double-blind clinical trials in dogs with congestive heart failure, FORTEKOR Flavour was well tolerated with an incidence of adverse reactions lower than observed in placebo-treated dogs.
A small number of dogs may exhibit transient vomiting, incoordination or signs of fatigue.
In dogs with chronic kidney disease, FORTEKOR Flavour may increase plasma creatinine concentrations at the start of therapy. A moderate increase in plasma creatinine concentrations following administration of ACE inhibitors is compatible with the reduction in glomerular hypertension induced by these agents, and is therefore not necessarily a reason to stop therapy in the absence of other signs.
4.7 Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
The safety of FORTEKOR Flavour has not been established in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs.
Do not use during pregnancy or lactation.
Laboratory studies in rats have shown evidence of embryotoxic effects (foetal urinary tract malformation) at maternally non-toxic doses.
4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
In dogs with congestive heart failure, FORTEKOR Flavour has been given in combination with digoxin, diuretics, pimobendan and anti-arrhythmic veterinary medicinal products without demonstrable adverse interactions.
In humans, the combination of ACE inhibitors and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) can lead to reduced anti-hypertensive efficacy or impaired renal function. The combination of FORTEKOR Flavour and other anti-hypertensive agents (e.g. calcium channel blockers, β-blockers or diuretics), anaesthetics or sedatives may lead to additive hypotensive effects. Therefore, concurrent use of NSAIDs or other medications with a hypotensive effect should be considered with care. Renal function and signs of hypotension (lethargy, weakness etc) should be monitored closely and treated as necessary.
Interactions with potassium preserving diuretics like spironolactone, triamterene or amiloride cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to monitor plasma potassium levels when using FORTEKOR Flavour in combination with a potassium sparing diuretic because of the risk of hyperkalaemia.
4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
FORTEKOR Flavour should be given orally once daily, with or without food. The duration of treatment is unlimited.
FORTEKOR Flavour 20 mg tablets are flavoured and are taken voluntarily by most dogs.
Fortekor® Flavour 20 mg
20 – 40 kg: 0.5 tablet (Standard Dose) 1 tablet (Double Dose)
>40 – 80 kg: 1 tablet (Standard Dose) 2 tablets (Double Dose)
FORTEKOR Flavour should be administered orally at a minimum dose of 0.25 mg (range 0.25-0.5) benazepril hydrochloride/kg body weight once daily, according to the following table:
The dose may be doubled, still administered once daily, to a minimum dose of 0.5 mg/kg (range 0.5-1.0), if judged clinically necessary and advised by the veterinary surgeon.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
FORTEKOR Flavour reduced erythrocyte counts in normal dogs when dosed at 150 mg/kg body weight once daily for 12 months, but this effect was not observed at the recommended dose during clinical trials in dogs.
Transient reversible hypotension may occur in cases of accidental overdose. Therapy should consist of intravenous infusion of warm isotonic saline.
4.11 Withdrawal period
Not applicable.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: ACE Inhibitors, plain.
ATCvet code: QC09AA07
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Benazepril hydrochloride is a prodrug hydrolysed in vivo to its active metabolite, benazeprilat. Benazeprilat is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of ACE, thus preventing the conversion of inactive angiotensin I to active angiotensin II and thereby also reducing synthesis of aldosterone. Therefore, it blocks effects mediated by angiotensin II and aldosterone, including vasoconstriction of both arteries and veins, retention of sodium and water by the kidney and remodelling effects (including pathological cardiac hypertrophy and degenerative renal changes).
FORTEKOR Flavour causes long-lasting inhibition of plasma ACE activity, with more than 95% inhibition at peak effect and significant activity (>80% in dogs) persisting 24 hours after dosing.
FORTEKOR Flavour reduces the blood pressure and volume load on the heart in dogs with congestive heart failure.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic particulars
After oral administration of benazepril hydrochloride, peak levels of benazepril are attained rapidly (Tmax 0.5 hour in dogs) and decline quickly as the active substance is partially metabolised by liver enzymes to benazeprilat. The systemic bioavailability is incomplete (~13% in dogs) due to incomplete absorption (38% in dogs) and first pass metabolism.
In dogs, peak benazeprilat concentrations (Cmax of 37.6 ng/ml after a dose of 0.5 mg/kg benazepril hydrochloride) are achieved with a Tmax of 1.25 hours.
Benazeprilat concentrations decline biphasically: the initial fast phase (t1/2=1.7 hours in dogs) represents elimination of free drug, while the terminal phase (t1/2=19 hours in dogs) reflects the release of benazeprilat that was bound to ACE, mainly in the tissues. Benazepril and benazeprilat are extensively bound to plasma proteins (85-90%), and in tissues are found mainly in the liver and kidney.
There is no significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of benazeprilat when benazepril hydrochloride is administered to fed or fasted dogs. Repeated administration of FORTEKOR Flavour leads to slight bioaccumulation of benazeprilat (R=1.47 in dogs with 0.5 mg/kg), steady state being achieved within a few days (4 days in dogs).
Benazeprilat is excreted 54% via the biliary and 46% via the urinary route in dogs. The clearance of benazeprilat is not affected in dogs with impaired renal function and therefore no adjustment of FORTEKOR Flavour dose is required in cases of renal insufficiency.

We celebrate United Nations (UN) Day for Women's Rights and International Peace. The RINJ Foundation Women welcome International Women's Day 2018 and remind the world that gender parity equals enhanced global prosperity.
(03/08/2018) Toronto ON – The RINJ Foundation Women, a Canada-based global Civil Society women's group wants to wish you a Happy International Women's Day 2018.
The group has released a series of papers setting out some explanations of why the gender gap in the past year has widened considerably.
According to Melissa Hemingway of The RINJ Foundation's global team, the alarming gender inequality of the past year is not only a pressing moral and social issue but also a critical economic challenge.
"Rape genocide, sexual exploitation, extra judicial killings, ethnic cleansing, internal displacement, failed democracies, religious fundamentalism, unreliable or nonexistent health care and reproductive rights stained human development hopes over the past year," notes Melissa.
Some very Positive Breakthroughs Among Global Giants like the nation of Canada and the Corporation, General Motors.
"Marginalizing women is decapitating half your global market," she adds in a media interview to be aired today in Europe as she talks about the economy and its dependence on global gender equality.
Her series of papers praises women like Mary Barra, CEO and chair of American giant car maker General Motors(GM).
"Mary is not about "girl power" she is about improving your transportation and making money for you if you happen to be a GM shareholder or stakeholder. She is also about caring for a quarter million GM employees."
Melissa, in one particular paper (Feminists Make You Rich) praises Canada's new focus on gender parity in an economic sense.
She notes that under Barra's leadership, GM says it envisions a world with zero crashes, to save lives; zero emissions, so future generations can inherit a healthier planet; and zero congestion, so customers get back a precious commodity — time.
"Now that's what women and men working together looks and sounds like."
One day I woke up in Syria with enough time to read a week-old newspaper with headlines that referred to a 50% female Canadian Cabinet. (OK so that explosion was closer than I realized. Am I dead or unconscious in the midst of some beautiful fantasy?)
"Let's stop screwing around. Countries like Canada know what nation states and corporations should have discovered decades ago: gender equality is going to make you some serious money."
"Canada plans to exceed its already excellent economic performance by advancing gender parity; enhancing women's equality not just in the workplace but within academia, society, government and importantly, on the corporate top floor and in the boardroom.Yes. The smart CEOs are putting men and women together to work at top levels and realize as much as a 24 trillion dollar bonus to global economies by the year 2025. ARE YOU IN?
"But today in most places ordinary women get less pay or none at all while they rescue their communities from forced migration, starvation, oppression and hunger. Damn.
Nothing is sadder and more humiliating and debilitating than being hungry, all the time."
Women's work at home needs to be recognized.

These ladies are very good at what they do. They do not earn a salary commensurate with their achievement. That must change.
In addition to making meals at home, which is a tin-roof shack or a shared space in someone else's shack, these women cook food and sell their simple meals at roadside "restaurants" in central Luzon island, Philippines or work in small market garden farm plots. While they continue to care for their families feeding and cleaning, having children and caring for them, they work long hours each day and earn less than $1.90 daily purchasing power parity and as such comprise a group of 11% of the Philippines' employed population doing slightly better than the 21% of population living in abject poverty. (2012 data from the Asian Development Bank but recent analysis suggests massive deterioration since 2012.)
Health and Survival – Women with Children appear most often among migrants and the impoverished. Mortality rates are awful.

Think equality.
Sadly the latest World Economic Forum-Gender Gap Report, which measures gender equality on a global scale, 2017 was the first time in more than 10 years that the gender gap began to widen again. The current gap in income between men and women is so wide that it would take 217 years to close it, according to the report. Inequality grew across all categories, but the gap grew particularly in the economic equality category.
Packed with humour and tons of statistics, Melissa's "Feminine Perspective" shares some intellectual light on the way ahead for gender equality: it's an academic, corporate and financial proposition for fiscal responsibility.
Feminists Make You Rich: International Women's Day 2018
International Women's Day – March 8, 2018 by Melissa Hemingway (Feminine Perspective Staff writer) Feminism is a doctrine that advocates equal rights for men and women. Are you a feminist or not? Feminists can make you rich.
International Women's Day 2018: A Widening Gender Gap
Women and men actually want the same things. We are all upright-walking homo-sapiens and when we all get out of bed in the morning, the world we want to make better is enjoyed the same way by both genders. Balance is beautiful. Gender parity is functional.Let's make money, build great communities, give hope to our children and be happy.
"We are at a pivotal moment for women's rights. The historical and structural inequalities that have allowed oppression and discrimination to flourish are being exposed like never before. From Latin America to Europe to Asia, on social media, on film sets, on the factory floor and in the streets, women are calling for lasting change and zero tolerance for sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination of all kinds." —
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres

So what's up with the strange cravings? NO! I'm not pregnant. However, I do have some strange taste at times when it comes to my food and books. I like to think that my taste are 'normal' but sometimes really they even freak me out. So what's wrong with a having a desire to read or write about a schizophrenic vampire who works at a blood bank. Seems perfectly fine to me. Especially if you like to throw in a virgin succubus blood donor who has a phobia of sharp objects; such as needles or fangs. Go figure. But again it also tickles my fancy when the hero doesn't mind killing a close family member in order to save a zombie stranger who may or may not hold the key to curing an out break of a deadly epidemic. YUMMY! Bring out the popcorn and Tabasco sauce for a day of delicious mayhem. Yep, that's my kind of normal.
With that being said, I pretty much do not have any discrimination when it comes to reading. I read about anything...at least once. I mean how am I going to know if I like it or not if I don't give it a try? I have the same view on food. Sometimes the worst looking foods turn out to be the best tasting meals. Books can be that way as well. You never know what a delicious treat you'll come across once you try out a new different genre of books. You may discover that you have an eclectic taste once you open the cover and devour the inside contents.
Well, with all this talk of food and books, I'm getting hungry for some shrimp nachos with a classic appetizer of Edgar Allan Poe. So what do you crave?
Welcome to my domain...if you dare...
Welcome to my blog about life as a writer and the craziness it involves with struggles of daily life. Make yourself at home but only if you don't mind a little messiness from time to time. This isn't the Home and Garden blog or Martha Stewart so don't expect cute little crafts with homemade goodies. That's not happening in the world of vamps, weres, and other things that go bump in the night...well...maybe homemade blood cakes topped with 'scream a la cream' sweetness along with the sexy alpha males who serve it up.

Following a heavy night drinking cider and one large chicken shish kebab i have woken to find myself alive with a huge hangover.
I don't know why alcohol is so instrumental in my happiness?
This is the first time i have drunk alcohol since my little episode,(during a quite session in a pub with a good friend and a glass of wine i had a funny turn and felt faint,obviously this was a mini stroke/cereberal embolisum)
It has just come to my attention, while mindlessly surfing the web this morning and wondering if my liver is still working, that you can obtain a do-it-yourself liver test. How remarkably ingenious!
You can find out the condition of your liver without even putting the beer down. All you do is prick your finger, send the blood and your Eight pounds to the lab, wait ten days, and voila, color coded results show up in the post.
"If it's green, 'your liver enzyme levels are within the recommended normal range.'
If amber, 'your liver health is less than optimal and you need to look at making changes to your lifestyle.'
And if red, 'even mild liver test abnormalities may be an early clue to liver disease. You must make significant changes to your lifestyle to protect your liver in the future.'"
Having made this fantastic discovery i have now peeled open my purse and find myself purchasing this amazing test kit.
WHY? you ask…because i can,however i now have the joy of waiting for Royal mail and my new parcel to arrive…10 days in my life is a long time…second thoughts i might just pop down to A and E and ask them….
Oh, and you lucky UK residents can purchase a bloody kit:
- I don't want to die a horrible and painful death caused by prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption; and
- I don't want to die a horrible and painful death caused by prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption.
However i have come to the conclusion that my fear of a horrible and painful death caused by prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption, apparently doesn't outweigh my attraction to chilled chardonnay and a nice cold cider.
"Never give up your vices based on the results of a study."

By Bhanu Pratap Panwar
It is said that the main job of a policeman is to serve and protect the citizens. But here is a policeman who has gone not one but a few hundred steps further. He managed to capture the poachers involved in the killing of 10 Asiatic Lions at Gir National Park in Gujarat. He recently won the Wildlife Service Award at the Sanctuary Asia Awards 2013, held last sunday, for it. Keshav Kumar, joint director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Mumbai, was the police officer in charge of investigating the incidence of poaching in 2007.
One of India's most respected police officers, his expertise lies in using forensic sciences and new age techniques and tools in criminal investigation. He received near perfect score for relevance, presentation, and content for the presentation he had given on "Convergence of Conventional Forensics and Wildlife Crime Investigation" to the Interpol's Wildlife Crime Division.
Kumar has also delivered a series of lectures at the National Police Academy, Gujarat High Court's Judicial Academy, the Rajasthan Police Academy and the Directorate of the Forensic Sciences and Laboratory in Gandhinagar. He was also presented the President's Police Medal in 2012 for his inspiring service to the nation.
It was due to Kumar's initiative that tools of conventional forensic sciences were used for the first time in India as far as wildlife crime is concerned. Kumar said, "I thought if we can solve murder cases with the help of conventional forensic sciences then why could we not use the same to track poachers. Earlier, as far as forensic in wildlife crime was concerned, it was related only to biology. The concept of using all the conventional methods of forensic, where physics, chemistry and pathology are also used, was new and more effective in tracking the crime."
At the outset of the investigation, Kumar had no knowledge about wildlife crime in India, although he had 23 years of experience solving conventional crimes. "Before I started my investigation I knew nothing about wildlife crime, therefore I took help from various wildlife crimes experts, wildlife NGOs and of course the forensic. When we examined the culprits' nails, lion blood was found on their nails. This was possible only because of polygraph and narco-analysis," said Kumar. He also added that it was the first ever case in India, where lions were hunted for trade.
"Tigers are usually the first preference as each part is highly valuable. But with tigers disappearing from national parks and forests, the poachers planned to hunt lions instead, also it is quite difficult to differentiate between the parts of the two species," clarified Kumar. More....

Mackie Onyx-i launch ads
- Client: Onyx-i Display ad
- Skills: Advertising, Mackie, Photo Retouching
Photography: Earl Harper Studios
Display ad for the Mackie Onyx-i line mixers. This was a portion of a larger campaign put together by myself and the rest of the Mackie marketing team. It included a teaser ad which revealed just the corner of the mixer and a headline "don't be afraid of the dark." From there we ran a contest for people to guess what the new product was. While the contest was happening, we made very ominous-looking black packages containing the mixer, a ransom note and a home-burned DVD with a sharpie-scralwed "PLAY ME NOW" written across it. These packages were sent to prominent journalists, bloggers and forum moderators as early review units.
The DVD contained a video with product manager James Woodburn in a nylon mask and voice distortion talking about the mixer, but also behaving like someone who'd taken a hostage. To be fair, he did have our social media manager's Chihuahua, but Rosita was never in any real danger 😉
The contest winner got a 1640-i and was the first person of the public to learn what the item was. He guessed "Bacon." That's why he won. Over at Mackie we were pretty easily entertained. 🙂

Here's the Wikipedia definition for grinding: "Grinding is a type of close partner dance where two or more dancers rub their bodies (especially the genitalia) against each other in a sexually suggestive manner. It has gained popularity at high school and middle school dances especially in the United States where there have been cases of administrators attempting to ban it due to its explicit nature and incidence involving injury."
Grinding or "freaking" on the dance floor is completely divisive in the reaction it elicits. People under the age of 40 are well accustomed to it and accept it as a fairly normal variety of club dance. Older generations are horrified and find it grotesque and inappropriate. It's classic culture clash. Siri Agrell in Canada's The Globe and Mail (November 22, 2007) says that, "a growing body of research has found that sexually explicit styles of dancing do not lead to casual sex. To those who study human sexuality, modern dance club culture is actually more indicative of an evolution in courtship."
Agrell quotes Columbia University socio-medical sciences professor, Dr. Munoz-Laboy who says, "Participants in these dances are actually bound by "an elaborate set of cultural rules – a veritable etiquette of gendered scripts for appropriate male and female conduct." In a study published this month in the journal Culture, Health & Sexuality, Dr. Munoz-Laboy wrote that, "young women are the gatekeepers of dancing boundaries in the hip-hop scene. Even though most dances in hip-hop clubs involve grinding … there are levels of physical closeness that men cannot cross." This seems to accurately reflect your average club etiquette where grinding is OK but overly tactile (male or female) dancers often end up shunned, nursing a lonely beer outside.
Agrell notes that Kingston physician Jonathan Huber, 32, published a report called "Sexually Overt Approaches in Singles Bars" in The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality. In it, he states that grinding is simply part of a new script for twentysomething flirting and picking up. "It's the new 'Can I buy you a drink?'"
Some would cite this as indisputable evidence that cultural norms since the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s have grown increasingly base and animalistic and that the answer to it all is a cultural clampdown of fundamentalist fervor. Others, like Huber, take a more anthropological approach to grinding and see this as a neutral evolution in social interaction.
"This is a complete reversal," he said of the behaviour he observed in bars in Ottawa and Guelph, Ont., while doing his research. "The touching happens at the beginning and only do the other things flow after that. It's sexually overt on paper, but the intent is not sexually overt." (The Globe and Mail)
All of this said, it is hard to discount the views of cultural conservatives that are quick to claim that this kind of social interaction, whether or not it leads to sex, is not helpful if what you want is to find a quality romantic partner. Just because grinding is acceptable club behavior and may even be part of modern courtship doesn't make it a substitute for coffee and conversation. Fair point. But understanding the 'ins and outs' of grinding will at least make you a savvier and perhaps less pervy addition to the dating marketplace.

LISTEN: Gabe Gurnsey Solo Tune
Aimee Armstrong
, May 9th, 2018 12:17
New track online
Factory Floor co-founder Gabe Gurnsey has announced a debut solo album Psychical which he describes as "a real departure from Factory Floor". The new single 'Ultra Clear Sound' is exactly that - It's a sensual pop song with some EBM leanings. "I wanted to explore the more celebratory sound of dance music," Gurnsey says; "I didn't want to make a hostile record".
The album itself new territory for Gurnsey. An exploration into songwriting and structure, according to him, "it's a story. The way the 14 tracks are sequenced mirrors a night out from start to finish".
Physical will be available on August 3 via Phantasy Sound. He will also will perform live at the Great Escape as part of the Phantasy Showcase on 18 May at the Arch.

Refused is a Swedish hardcore punk band originating from Umeå and formed in 1991. Refused is composed of vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, guitarist Kristofer Steen, drummer David Sandström, and bassist Magnus Flagge. Guitarist Jon Brännström was a member from 1994, through reunions, until he was fired in late-2014. Their lyrics are often of a non-conformist and politically far-left nature.
On January 9, 2012, the band announced their long-awaited reunion (which was also highly contested considering the band's original and explicit declaration to never reunite), confirming shows at Coachella, Rock am Ring, Ruisrock, Roskilde Festival, Groezrock, Way Out West Festival, Sonisphere Festival (Cancelled), Download Festival, Rock for People, Primavera Sound, Hellfest, Fuji Rock Festival, Øyafestivalen, Pukkelpop, Resurrection. After embarking on a world tour for nearly a year, Refused went on hiatus again in 2012, but announced another reunion in November 2014.
The band released five EPs and three full-length albums before originally splitting up in 1998, and released their fourth full-length album Freedom on the Epitaph Records label on June 26, 2015. "Elektra" was released as the first single from the comeback album on April 27, 2015.[1]
Career trajectory (1991–1998)Edit
Refused formed in early 1991[2] with Dennis Lyxzén, David Sandström, Pär Hansson, and Jonas Lindgren and released their first demo, "Refused," the same year. With an already altered lineup (including Kristofer Steen joining from local band Abhinanda with Pär Hansson going the other way) the band released their first studio album, This Just Might Be the Truth, in 1994.
Refused's final line-up consisted of Dennis Lyxzén, David Sandström, Kristofer Steen, and Jon Brännström, who released everything from Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent to the definitive album The Shape of Punk to Come. The band never found a permanent bass player.
Refused broke up in late 1998. Some believe this happened as a result of a depletion of creative energy and band members wanting different things. There was also conflict between Dennis and the rest of the band.[3] Band members stated that their first shows after the release of Shape of Punk to Come were emotionally devastating and that their final tour was an awful experience.[2] The band eventually cancelled the tour and announced their breakup through a strongly-worded press release, described below. Their last performance of their United States tour was played in Harrisonburg, Virginia but was shut down by police.[4]
Daniel P. Carter described in January 2012 how unfairly poor the reception that Refused used to receive was, and how they never had the chance to make an impact whilst together.[5]
After breakup (1999–2009)Edit
After Refused split up, Dennis released one final, fiery open letter titled "Refused Are Fucking Dead."[6] on their label Burning Heart's website.
Lead singer Dennis Lyxzén went on to form The (International) Noise Conspiracy while the other members, as well as venturing into their own projects, formed the group TEXT.
In 2007 Dennis and David briefly reformed their Refused side project, Final Exit, which existed in the mid-late 1990s and originally consisted of members of Refused and Abhinanda, with each member taking a different role to that which they had in their main bands (e.g., David on vocals and Dennis on bass guitar).
As of May, 2008, Dennis Lyxzén and David Sandström have formed a new straightforward hardcore band under the name AC4.
Kristofer Steen is now a director and made a documentary on the band's last year in existence called Refused Are Fucking Dead.
Rumours (2010–2011)Edit
In March 2010, Epitaph Records put up the old Refused website online with the words "Coming Soon."[7][8] Rumours spread across the Internet about what the new website could indicate, including speculation of a reunion.[9] Citing an anonymous source "close to the situation," Punknews.org unofficially announced that the band would perform at European music festivals in 2010.[10] Dennis Lyxzén denied claims of a Refused reformation as he and David Sandström were busy with AC4.[9][11] The new band website was later announced to be a promotional site for a reissue of Refused's final album, The Shape of Punk to Come.[9] The reissue, released on June 8, 2010, is a three-disc set with an unreleased live album recorded in 1998 and the Refused Are Fucking Dead DVD documentary in addition to the full original album.[12]
In November 2011, multiple posters said to be for the upcoming 2012 Coachella Festival appeared on several Internet sites, and the line-ups included Refused.[13] This started new rumours of a long-awaited reunion.
Reunion (2012)Edit
During BBC Radio 1's "Punk Show" on January 2, 2012, Mike Davies stated that Refused, along with At the Drive-In would be reforming in 2012. On January 9, 2012, it was announced that Refused would be performing for the 2012 Coachella Festival. The reunion was confirmed via Dennis Lyxzen's Facebook page. Later that day, it was announced that they would also be playing at Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. They also headlined the Groezrock festival in Belgium. The confirmation that Refused would be UK exclusives at Sonisphere Festival in the UK was made on February 20. However, in light of Sonisphere UK's subsequent cancellation, Refused were officially booked by Download Festival on April 3, to perform at Donington Park instead. On February 29, Refused played a secret show in Umeå, their first live performance since 1998.[14] Refused are also confirmed for the Rock for People festival in Czech Republic. They appeared for the first time on TV in America on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on July 18, 2012.[15]
On August 23, 2012 Refused indicated by a Facebook post that their reunion was for 2012 only and not a continuation of their career. On August 24, 2012, it was announced that Refused would undertake a theatre tour of Australia for the first time ever that November.[16] The after party for Refused's show on December 15, 2012 in Fabriken, Umeå saw brief reunions from related Umeå hardcore bands Abhinanda and Final Exit, as well as some rarely performed songs from Refused. Redd Kross also performed on the evening.
Hiatus, second reunion and Freedom (2013-present)Edit
On February 22, 2013, Refused were awarded "The special prize for Swedish music exports" by the Minister of Trade.[17][18] Lyxzén and Sandström chose to criticize the current Government at the ceremony, instead thanking the efforts of popular education, in particular Workers' Educational Association (ABF) and youth centers (in Sweden associated with social democracy)[19] while Jon Brännström chose to not accept the prize on his behalf[20] later stating he wished they "(...) had said no to the prize and instead held a press conference about why we had turned it down."[21]
On October 31, 2014, Jon Brännström stated on the official Refused Facebook page that he had been fired from the band (the band would later state that he left the band in 2013),[22] implying that Refused are still active and plan on performing again in the future. On November 25, 2014, the band announced that they will perform their first shows in three years at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, Groezrock and Amnesia Rockfest in the summer of 2015.[23][24] They will also headline Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas in May 2015.[25] Around the same time, rumours surfaced of a new album being recorded for release in 2015 after ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead's Autrey Fulbright II posted a photo on Instagram claiming that Lyxzén had been in the studio recording vocals for the album.[26]
On April 27, 2015, it was announced that Refused would release their fourth studio album, Freedom, in June 2015 via Epitaph Records. The album was produced by Nick Launay and includes further collaborations such as two songs produced with Max Martin-collaborator Shellback (Taylor Swift).[1] The news was announced along with the release of the album's opening track, "Elektra," as its lead single.[27]
Refused incorporated radical left and anti-capitalist politics, into a sound that paid homage to The Nation of Ulysses and Born Against. Before the Umeå hardcore phenomenon went into full bloom, the band was seen as part of the scene centered around youth-oriented venue Galaxen, along with the punk-rock scene as well as metal bands such as Meshuggah.
Drummer David Sandström states that before the band formed he was a "glue-sniffing death metal kid" but eventually a fan of Step Forward, the embryo of Refused. As Step Forward called it quits and friendship between Sandström and Dennis Lyxzén grew stronger, Lyxzén took him home and made him listen to Youth of Today's We're Not in This Alone album over and over again in a room alone.[28][29]
The album This Just Might Be the Truth was mostly influenced by popular American hardcore bands of the time (such as Earth Crisis) as well as various bands from the New York hardcore scene. By the time of its release, the band already had a strong anti-establishment profile.[30]
On their second album, Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent, the band had a heavier sound, largely due to Lyxzén adopting a screaming style rather than shouting.

One of the biggest (and most expensive) mistakes landlords make: waltzing past the process of compiling a thorough property inventory, which details the condition of each room and its fixtures and content at the start of a new tenancy.
Don't be that kind of landlord or tenant, because it's a sure-fire way of getting your pants pulled down and paying through the nose!

What is a Landlord Inventory?
An inventory for landlords is a detailed report of all the contents of a property and a record of the condition of the rental property. It's also referred to as a "schedule of condition":
A landlord's inventory is typically documented by a form with supplementing pictures, which records the condition of the property/items before a tenant moves in, and then referred to when a tenant vacates, so it's clear what damages, if any, need to be compensated for.
Sadly, inventories are often skipped by landlords and not required by tenants, which is a major mistake (perhaps one of the biggest rookie mistakes). An inventory is there to protect all parties, in particular to help assist with handling damages (which is an extremely common reason for dispute).
The process of an inventory
- If you're using an agent or independent Inventory Clerk to handle your inventory, they should advise accordingly how the process will work.
- If you're going to do the inventory yourself, you should prepare the inventory on the move in day (or shortly before, assuming the property is completely ready) with the tenant present.
- The inventory should be conducted before your tenants moves in with any of their belongings. Any faults with the property or any items should be documented in the inventory form.
Of course, the inventory shouldn't just document the faults, it should document the condition of every item and attribute of the property, in a grading style, from "excellent" to "poor", with relevant assisting notes and photos if necessary.
- Photographic or video evidence of the property contents and condition is recommended. I've retrospectively written an elaborate blog post on how landlords should prepare an inventory and take supporting images – I would highly recommend reading that before compiling your inventory.
- After the inventory is compiled, it should be signed off by both parties and each should have their own copy for reference.
When should the inventory be cross-checked?
It is common, and advisable, for landlords or agents to make regular inspections.
Inspecting on a quarterly basis (every 3 months) to compare the inventory with the current condition is normal practise.
It's important to remember that a tenant needs 24 hour notice in writing before an inspection is made. You can download a property inspection notice from here.
Any obvious signs of damage should be flagged and discussed with the tenant.
The final inventory check at the end of tenancy
On move out day the landlord should complete a final inspection to assess the condition of the property in correspondence with the inventory.
The final inspection should be completed with the tenant present, and only after all their possessions has been vacated from the premises. Note, a lot of damage is caused while tenants move their furniture/possessions in and out of the property!
Oh, yeah… "Wear and tear"! Let's discuss it.
It's important to note that tenants cannot be held liable for "fair wear and tear", and it should not be flagged as signs of damage when cross-referencing the inventory.
"Fair wear and tear" refers to any consequences of "reasonable use of the premises by the tenant and the ordinary operation of natural forces."
So, for example, carpets naturally wear overtime with normal use, which means landlords can't seek compensation to replace carpets if they've naturally worn away over normal usage. Here's a more in-depth guide on wear and tear.
What happens if items have been damaged?
If there's a general consensus between the parties on what has been damaged, then estimates should be drawn up for repairs/replacements. The tenant should be informed of all the costs in writing and amounts of deductions from the deposit.
A tenancy deposit scheme should be holding the deposit, so they should be made aware of what has been agreed, so they can distribute the deposit accordingly.
If the deposit doesn't cover the amount needed to carry out the repairs, an invoice itemising all costs involved for additional payments should be sent to the tenant.
If items need to be replaced then it's the landlords obligation to consider betterment. This means that the original age and condition of the replaced item should be taken into account when estimating the replacement cost.
What if the parties cannot agree on damages?
If the parties cannot reach agreement as to which items have been damaged, the severity of the damage, the repair or replacement costs etc, then great care should be taken in:
- recording the state and condition with photographs
- obtaining estimates and repair or replacement costs
- informing the tenant/landlord in writing
All disputes will be handled by an independent and free Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service provided by the scheme the deposit is secured with, which will aim to resolve any disputes quickly and without the need for court action.
Each scheme will contain an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service, so both tenant and landlord will need to contact the appointed scheme. If both landlord and tenant agree to use the service, they will have to agree to accept its decision and will not be able to apply to the courts. If you or your landlord do not agree to use the Tenancy Deposit Scheme service then the dispute will usually go to the county court.
When damages exceed deposit amount
If there's an excessive amount of damage to the property and the cost for repair exceeds the value of the deposit, the tenant should cover the over-spill (assuming they are liable). However, in the event that the tenant is unwilling to pay the extra, your only option might be to apply to a court for a claim if you wish to recoup the costs. Please refer to my blog post on when tenants cause damage for further details.
Should I bother creating an Inventory for an unfurnished property?
The short answer is yes. Even if a property is deemed as unfurnished, there will still be items that can be damaged and costly to replace e.g sinks, carpets, condition of walls etc. Consequently, it is still crucial to have a detailed inventory.
Using an Independent Professional BTL Inventory Clerk
LettingAProperty.com currently offer inventory services from £99. More details below…

The cost for an independent clerk can vary depending on the size of the property, and whether it is furnished or unfurnished. As a rough guide, you could be looking at approximately £100 for an unfurnished property, while £130 for furnished properties. In any case, it's always worth shopping around for the best rates.

When I heard his newest track, "You & Me", I connected with it right away. This French house-inspired instrumental track is driven by a funky bassline and a series of arp punches so familiar, it sounds as if it fell out of a DJ's record crate at the discotheque in 1978 only to be rediscovered & come back to life in 2017. The track is available now through the Casablanca Sunset label.
