!! OMG, brilliant: Anti-Theft Lunch Bags !!
Fat greedy co-worker stealing your lunch? Just keep your sammich in one of THESE amazing anti-theft baggies. It will work great…unless you've got a poor co-worker or roommate…poor people will eat anything.

A good idea, but surely one of my clean-freak over-zealous co-workers would toss that in the garbage if they spotted it. Nothing is fool proof!


Get cookin' in your kitchenette or let local restos do the work for you (kitchenette's waiting for your leftovers).
Metro or taxi it to the nearby O2 and leave the parking to less savvy folk.
Fresh, modern urban-minimalist style makes us feel right at home.
They need to change the way they do breakfasts. Out of two ordered breakfast only one arrived 40 minutes late. When it arrived and I opened the containers the room was filled with a putrid smell. Basically the eggs where rotten so neither me or my girlfriend had any breakfast. The staff returned the money without complaint.

Arracht (; "Monster") is a 2019 Irish period drama film directed and written by Tomás Ó Súilleabháin set during the Great Famine of Ireland. It was selected as the Irish entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Plot
Connemara, 1845. Colmán Sharkey lives with his wife and infant son on the Atlantic coast where they subsist on the fish he catches with his brother Sean and the potatoes grown on the family farm. He is persuaded to take on Patsy Kelly, who has recently left the Royal Navy under suspicious circumstances, as a farmhand and fisherman. Word has spread of a blight affecting the potato crop as far as the Midlands, leading to widespread famine. The blight soon reaches Connemara, where the potato crops wither in the fields. The local landlord increases rents and sends two armed men to Colmán's home to collect. Patsy disarms one of them but is pressured by Colmán into relinquishing the gun as Colmán requests a meeting with the landlord.

At the landlord's estate, Colmán unsuccessfully tries to persuade him not to raise rents due to the famine devastating the country. Patsy wanders off where he encounters the two collection agents and the landlord's daughter. He murders all three before being discovered by Colmán, who is shocked by what he finds and notices a frightened young girl has witnessed the scene. Patsy kills the landlord, leading to a confrontation with the Sharkey brothers in which Sean is fatally stabbed. Enraged, Colmán brutally beats Patsy and leaves him for dead.

Two years pass during which Colmán loses his wife and son to the effects of the famine. Living in a cave by the shore and haunted by visions of his family, he attempts suicide by drowning but is compelled to surface. Later, he discovers a sick young girl – Kitty – in what used to be his cottage. He nurses her back to health and recognises her as the girl who witnessed Patsy's murder spree. Locals desperate for Colmán's catch stab him in a confrontation at the cottage. As he recovers, he teaches Kitty how to row, catch fish and treat wounds. Time passes and the bond between Colmán and Kitty deepens. Kitty despairs at not being able to help the starving people she encounters but Colmán reminds her that their own meagre food supply is dependent on access to the sea and they will be unable to fish when winter comes. Kitty strikes up a friendship with a local girl and her mother, whom Colmán quietly persuades to adopt Kitty and take her to the mainland to ensure her survival once winter arrives.

It is then revealed that Patsy survived Colmán's assault and has framed him for the landlord's murder. Allied with a British agent and a police constable, he tracks down Colmán to his old cottage where he recognises Kitty and takes her hostage as the agent arrests and beats Colmán. When the agent is distracted by Kitty's cries, Colmán beats him to death and subdues the police constable, taking his gun in the process. He confronts Patsy, who threatens to kill Kitty. She stabs him in the leg using a knife previously gifted to her by Colmán, allowing him to strangle Patsy to death while a traumatised Kitty suffers flashbacks to the murders she witnessed. As Patsy dies, Colmán and Kitty embrace.

Cast

Production

Location filming took place in Lettermullan, County Galway. Produced by Dublin-based television and film production company Macalla Teoranta, Arracht was financially backed by Screen Ireland, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and TG4. Executive Producers Brendan McCarthy and John McDonnell of Fantastic Films.

Release

Arracht received its world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia on 29 November 2019.

The Irish premiere was at the Dublin International Film Festival on 28 February 2020. The film was supposed to receive its general release on 3 April 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of all cinemas. Arracht had its UK premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on 8 March 2020, and won the Audience Award. Arracht screened at the online editions of the 66th Taormina Film Festival in Italy, and the 32nd Galway Film Fleadh on Sunday, 12 July. It finally received a general release on 6 November 2020.

Critical response

Screen Daily said that "although Arracht could be improved by some shifts in emphasis to give the latter half of the plot more clarity and emphasis, [Ó Súilleabháin] still pulls off an authentic drama/thriller, with a powerful impact."

The Irish Times wrote that it was "unmissable" and "beautifully crafted." Little White Lies included Arracht in their list, "10 highlights from the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2019"  at no. 2, and wrote "this well acted and beautifully scored film is born of the land itself," calling the film "an austere and implacable drama about finding hope when all else is lost". Filmuforia.co.uk called Arracht "an enigmatic mood piece" with a "brilliant cast" and a "haunting intensity of its remote countryside setting in the coastal region of Connemara". Film Ireland called it a "fiercely impressive feature debut" from director Tom Sullivan, one that has a "real feeling of authenticity". Scannain.com gave the film a 4.0 score out of 5, describing a "phenomenal cast... with stellar performances from the lead duo [Ó Héalaí and Ní Chuinn]". Into Films declared Arracht "a searingly austere film which deserves the widest possible audience" after its UK Premiere at Glasgow Film Festival.

I love Mexican Food. That's all I need to say!
I have been watching those little calories for the last 8 months and it's really paid off. Since I do love Mexican food, I need to be smart so I can enjoy it but not place all those pounds back on my hips. When I eat out, I know I can order chicken fajitas without the rice, beans or tortillas and stay within my diet goal. But sometimes I would like some tortillas so I make this dish at home and pair it with whole wheat tortillas and baked chips with salsa.
These fajitas are better than restaurant fajitas and without all the added sodium. The marinade is made with spices that are probably already in your pantry.
Mix up the marinade the night before (or early in the morning), add the chicken and refrigerate. I even prepare my veggies and place them in baggies in the fridge at the same time.
Then it just takes minutes to lite the grill and have these flavors rocking your taste buds.
1. Mix the cumin, garlic, chili powder and the lime juice in a small bowl.
2. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and place in a ziplock baggie, pour marinade over the chicken breasts. Remove the air from the baggie and seal. Place in fridge overnight.
3. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill on med high heat until done. (About 10-12 minutes per side).
4. Remove from heat, cover and let stand while cooking the veggies.
5. Place the veggies on the grill, turning once until seared but barely limp.
6. Remove the veggies from the grill and heat the tortillas on the grill until warm and pliable.
7. Slice the chicken breasts and veggies into strips and place on the warmed tortillas, add salsa, avocado or/and sour cream.

The countdown is on with the most loved names in world tennis set to converge on Melbourne in January for what will be the biggest and best Australian Open yet.
This year's Australian Open was one of the most successful with a record 728,000 fans pouring through the gates, creating an expected 1,100 jobs and injecting more than $280 million into the economy.
Worldwide, around a billion people a day tuned in to the action from Melbourne on TV and even more on social media.
Hosting the Grand Slam of the Asia-Pacific is part of what makes Victoria the sporting and major events capital of Australia – and the Victorian Government will make sure it stays that way.
That's why the Victorian Government announced $271.55 million in this year's budget to complete the third stage of the Melbourne Park redevelopment, featuring a new 5,000 seat show court arena.
This guarantees the Australian Open will remain in Melbourne until at least 2036.
Major upgrades to Rod Laver Arena's truss and back of house will ensure it can attract and stage the biggest shows and productions in the world.
Fans can also look forward to a new and exciting range of food and beverage outlets, a wider concourse to get around more easily, improved access and facilities for people with a disability, and better bathrooms.


That would be so disheartening! That's one thing I love about John; each time I've knitted him a sweater, he's been thrilled. He had tears in his eyes when I gave him his first pullover; it was a complete surprise; he told me that no-one had ever knitted him a sweater before.

The capital costs of the largest iron ore producer in Europe and the CIS-countries Metalloinvest made up $595 million in 2014 (+24.5% y-o-y). The company reports.
A significant part of the capital expenditures (15.8%) fall on the construction of a roast machine No3 at the Mikhailovsky GOK. The completion of the project will allow Metalloinvest to increase the capacity on the output of pellet by 5 million tons a year.

Don Lemon bursts out laughing after watching Paul Manafort clips from 2016
by Chris Mills Rodrigo - 11/30/18 10:34 AM ET
CNN anchor Don Lemon could not contain his laughter Thursday after watching clips of Paul Manafort from 2016 in which President Trump's former campaign chairman appeared to fumble when asked if the then-presidential candidate had a financial relationship in Russia.
The clip played by Lemon was from a CBS interview with Manafort on July 27, 2016.
"So to be clear, Mr. Trump has no financial relationships with any Russian oligarchs," the CBS anchor asked.
Manafort seemed to fumble with the response a little bit.
"That's what he said, I don't, that's what I, that's obviously what our position is," he said.
{mosads}After the clip is rolled, Lemon couldn't hold in some laughter and asked for the clip to be played again, saying that it was "a little awkward."
"That was really, really awkward, I still have no idea what he said there," Lemon said, containing his laughter, after the clip was replayed.
"Doesn't that just sum all of this up? The whole day, just all of it?"
The clip was played after Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about Trump's property plans in Moscow, including his plans to travel to Russia and contacts with Russian officials in connection with the project during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen's agreement to cooperate with Mueller may result in information disproving Manafort's 2016 denial about Trump's financial relationship with Russia.
Special counsel Robert Muller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow.
Mueller asserted via a court filing Monday that Manafort had violated the plea agreement made earlier to avoid a second trial after being convicted on eight counts of bank and tax fraud earlier this year.
The office alleged that Manafort "committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel's Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement."
Manafort's defense attorneys denied the allegation, saying Manafort believes he provided truthful information and does not agree that he has breached the agreement.

Truth be told I am NOT a fan of the Mormon Church. Institutionalized homophobia runs rampant in the church's hierarchy and they control the Utah government behind closed doors with an iron fist. Mormon money basically bought Prop 8, and even though they can't stand them, they work side by side with the Catholic Church to deny us our rights.
But I also don't suffer well gay men who are "Republicans" and even though Fred Karger, an openly gay man and gay rights activist who is running for the GOP Presidential nomination, and founded Californians Against Hate who served as a political watchdog over Prop 8.
But I also cannot forget that Krager helped lead the campaigns of Republican California Governor George Deukmejian, Lt. Governor Mike Curb, the Presidential campaigns of Senator Rob Dole (R-KS), Senator Paul Laxalt (R-NV), Governor John Connally (R-TX), Senator Charles Percy (R-IL). And I unlike others in our community won't give him a pass for that.
Now Krager, the GOP Presidential candidate has has launched a website called the Top 10 Craziest Mormon Beliefs because nothing says GOP presidential (low) caliber than mocking people.
Mormons may be reprehensible when it comes to gay rights (and women's rights), but that doesn't give Karger the right to target their faith in general (exposing something illegal is a whole nother story.) especially when most of his other fellow candiadtes are far more dangerous "fringe extremist" and he doesn't say a word about them.
Fred Krager needs to learn that being a "gay republican" is no less crazy as the Mormon belief that God lives near Kolob in a giant Urim and Thummim that is made out of crystal.


All organisms need energy to live. Energy is connected to all human activities: whenever we think or move, we use the energy that is stored in our body and all the objects that we use or that surround us need energy to work or needed energy when they were built. Energy illuminates us and warms our houses, allows us to move, feeds the tools we use to produce food, and so on.
All that produces energy is "an energy source". The Sun is the main source of energy for the Earth.
The Earth receives from the Sun an uninterrupted flow of energy that, as well as supplying all vital processes (both vegetal and animal), melts the ice and supplies the water cycle between the sea and the atmosphere; it produces the wind, favours the growth of those plants that during millions of years have transformed, together with animal remains, into fossil fuels, coal and natural gas.
In general, all the energy available on our planet derives, directly or indirectly, from the Sun: water energy, wind energy, chemical energy of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and biomass (i.e. wood); even waves energy.
Tides energy derives from the gravitational fields of the Sun, Moon and Earth.
Geothermal and nuclear energy do not derive from the subsequent transformations of solar energy, but are related to the Earth formation.

Congressman says businesses need to make changes
Iowa Congressman Jim Nussle says legislators can take some action to help shore up the shaky financial markets, but he says the companies need to take action to become more accountable.He says deeds are the only thing that can change the confidence in the financial markets, not words. Nussle says the President tried to make an impact with words, as did Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan.He says the president gave a good speech, but it didn't have an impact, and Greenspan's words didn't have the effect they've had in the past. On another issue, Nussle believes Congress will approve the new Homeland Security Cabinet position by this fall.He says there's support for the move, and the only reason it is going slowly is the president didn't request the change until six months after September 11th. Nussle says it takes time to get the legislation through the process and he expects it to get done by the end of August.

The fate of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax will be determined today with the High Court due to deliver its decision on whether the tax is valid or not.
The case has been led by miner Andrew Forrest and his Fortescue Metals Group, and has been supported by the Queensland and Western Australian state governments.
The tax applies to profits above $75 million for iron ore and coal projects. It also allows offsets for state-imposed royalties.
Mr Forrest and his companies have told the High Court that is unconstitutional because it discriminates between the states who use royalty levels to attract investment.
The Federal Government's latest economic statement has revealed the revenue forecasts for the tax continue to fall.
Even if the High Court upholds the tax its future is uncertain, with the Coalition pledging to scrap it if it wins the election next month.


Stomach gas can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. While diet often impacts the amount of gas a person has, other medical conditions can cause a build-up in the intestinal tract that results in untimely flatulence. Luckily, there are some simple and holistic home remedies for gas that can alleviate build-up and assist digestion. These natural gas relievers are available in almost every kitchen or can be acquired easily at the local supermarket. Consult a doctor before taking any herbal remedies or new substances. Many natural remedies can treat gas at home, excessive flatulence, digestive troubles and stomach pain may indicate a medical condition. You should always check with a doctor before you try any home remedies. Everyone passes gas, but if flatulence has an intense order and occurs persistently, you may have a health condition that causes gut irritation such as lactose intolerance.
Carom or ajwain seeds. Often called "bishop's weed," carom or ajwain is an Indian spice that aids the body's natural digestion due to a compound called thymol. Thymol can help rid the gut of bacteria and purify the digestive tract. Half a teaspoon of carom seeds in a glass of water each day should help alleviate stomach gas.

Blog Tour: The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery @SusanMallery @Blunder_Woman @HarlequinBooks
March 18, 2022 March 19, 2022 Jonetta | Blue Mood Café
Robyn Caldwell is a divorced mother of two who's soon reaching a crossroad. Her oldest, Harlow, is engaged, planning her wedding and turning into a bridezilla, blaming her mother for anything not going her way. Her son Austin is graduating from high school but doesn't seem to have a plan. Her ex-husband Cord has entered into a disastrous new relationship he's keeping secret from his children. With Austin turning eighteen, Robyn has to make a significant financial decision about their beautiful but costly Naples, Florida home in accordance with her divorce settlement. When her great aunt Lillian Holton calls and invites her to consider a summer stay at her Santa Barbara estate, Robyn flees to California for a respite. Little did she know how vital she was to the people in her circle who would soon follow her, bringing their baggage with them.
What didn't I love about this story! Robyn was the heartbeat of her family, which was news to her before she decided to take some time for herself and visit with the aunt who took her in when her parents died. Aunt Lillian is 94-years old and is eager to settle her affairs while she's still in good health so her time there not only gave her much needed self reflection but an opportunity to spend time with a woman she loved dearly. At the same time, Lillian has invited Mason Bishop, the remaining relative of her late husband, to discuss his legacy. He's a recently retired Army veteran who is comfortable with life but completely unprepared for what Lillian presents. He and Robyn use the opportunity to enjoy each other's company while developing a plan for the estate settlement in the future. I loved their developing relationship, how mature and drama free it was in the midst of the chaos Robyn left behind in Naples.
I could hardly put my headphones down, not wanting to miss what was happening next. The narrator added to my enjoyment of the story as she captured the perfect tone and spirit of both the characters and the tale. It was enlightening to see Harlow and Austin find their way on their own, both having a higher appreciation for their mother. It was even more heartwarming to see Robyn learn to let them go and finally focus on her own needs. I loved every moment of my listening experience!

HarperAudio US · THE SUMMER GETAWAY by Susan Mallery
Q&A with Susan Mallery
Q: Tell us about your latest book, who is the main character(s) and what can we expect when we pick it up?
A: The Summer Getaway, which will be out on March 15, is the story of Robyn Caldwell, a mom who has one too many things on her plate—her daughter's wedding demands, her son's refusal to grow up, her best friend's self-destructive behavior, and her ex-husband's wildly inappropriate new girlfriend: their daughter's soon-to-be sister-in-law. She's been focusing on everyone else's problems so much that she forgot to make a plan for her own future.
She needs a minute. So Robyn hops on a plane to visit her beloved great-aunt Lillian in sunny Santa Barbara, to give herself time and space to figure out what she wants the rest of her life to look like. But she's the heart of her family, and those family ties draw everyone she loves to follow her across the country, one by one.
I adore Robyn, a smart, nurturing mom who has given so much that she forgot about herself. I think a lot of us women are like that, and I think readers will be thrilled to go along on Robyn's journey of self-discovery.
Q: Give us an out of context quote from your book to warm our hearts:
A: Harlow's gaze turned knowing. "You're protecting him. Not because you're still in love with him, but because he's my father. This is about me, not him." She smiled. "You're a good mom. I hope when I have kids I'm just like you."
Q: Which of your characters would you want to share a campfire with, and why?
A: Oh, Robyn, for sure. First of all, because she's the kind of woman I love to have as a friend—great sense of humor, good conversationalist, loving, loyal, smart. And secondly, because the woman knows how to cook. (That said, I would choose a fireside table at a nice restaurant. I don't get the appeal of eating outside.)
Q: Where do you get your ideas for your books, characters, series?
A: Ideas come from everywhere – conversations, articles. Songs are a great source of inspiration for me. I'm convinced that there's a book in every country music song, but you might be surprised at the idea that comes from a song. For me, it's not about the lyrics or the story of the song, as much as it is about the emotions.
So yes, ideas are everywhere, but the idea is merely a spark. The tough part is fanning that spark into flames, into a full-length women's fiction novel. I've had a lot of ideas that weren't good enough to sustain a book. I either have to reassign it as a subplot, or let it go. (That is so hard sometimes!)
The spark that led to The Summer Getaway is something no one would ever, ever guess. I had an idea to write a story about a woman who has fallen in love with an oil painting and goes in search of the artist, sure that they will share a deep connection. Instead, she discovers that the painting means nothing to him. He paints the same scene over and over again because it sells.
But there's no artist in The Summer Getaway. No contemporary oil painting. While brainstorming the book, the idea morphed beyond recognition from that initial spark. Inspiration is a funny, ineffable thing. You don't know where it will lead. All you can do is loosen the reins on your mind and let it run.
I couldn't be happier with the end result. The Summer Getaway is a heartfelt, emotion-filled story of one woman's triumph over self-doubt. Robyn is nurturing and fiercely loyal, and I love her.
I might still write about that artist. . .
Q: Do you interconnect series and locations or is it one and done with series?
A: Sometimes series are connected to other series, sometimes not. The Summer Getaway is a standalone novel, not part of a series. But when it comes to series, the Fool's Gold series segued into the Happily Inc series. The Blackberry Island series segued into the Mischief Bay series—and then I returned to Blackberry Island with Sisters by Choice. A teenager in the Bakery Sisters series ended up as the hero of one of the Fool's Gold books, Finding Perfect. (That was a reader's suggestion, by the way.)
Q: How do you keep track of your characters when a series is longer…do you keep what I have heard referred to as a "Bible"?
A: I do have a series bible that my assistant creates. The Fool's Gold bible is about 300 pages long. Every character is in it, with whatever specific details have appeared on the page—age, height, hair and eye color, where they went to college, what kind of car they drive. . . And because animals are so important in my books, even the animals are included in the bible.
Q: Did you love books as a child, what age did you begin to read and devour books, and what is the first book that you remember that made a difference in your writing (as a child or later)?
A: Oh yes, I was a voracious reader for as long as I can remember. Every Saturday, my dad took me to the library, and the rule was that I was allowed to check out as many books as I could carry. We would go home, and I'd read them all that day, and then spend the week re-reading the ones I loved. When a librarian told me how many more books I could carry if I used a tote bag, she changed my life!
I didn't start writing until I was in college (studying accounting). In addition to my full courseload, I took an evening class titled How to Write a Romance Novel. By week six of the eight-week course, I knew I wanted to write books.
My goal, still, is to make each book better than the last, so I continue to study the craft of writing. I don't remember the first book that made a difference in my writing, so I'll tell you about a book that did so more recently—Save the Cat! It's a book on screenwriting. Although I don't have aspirations of writing screenplays, I like to study screenwriting because I find the story structure helpful. Save the Cat! talked about the importance of high stakes in a way that made me think differently when plotting my books. In my books, the stakes aren't actual life and death, but they're deeply emotional stories, and the stakes need to feel like emotional life and death to the characters and to the reader.
Q: Can you remember one or more early books that influenced you? What were they? Did you remain interested in the same type of stories over the decades or did your interests change?
A: When I was a teenager, I discovered my best friend's mom's stash of romance novels. She let me borrow them whenever I wanted. I still remember the feeling that came over me when reading that first one—that moment of catching my breath when the hero's and heroine's eyes met in the mirror—and that early reading experience continues to influence me today.
Q: Do you read the same genre you write or branch out to relax?
A: I still love reading women's fiction and romance. I like stories that bring me deep inside characters' heads and hearts, and I love happy endings.
Q: Do you write under another name or in other genres? If so…please share!
A: No, I only write under Susan Mallery. Early in my career, I wrote a few historicals as Susan Macias.
Q: How many books have you written?
A: 176 and counting… (including a few that haven't been published yet—The Boardwalk Bookshop will be out in May, Home Sweet Christmas in October, and The Sister Effect next year, assuming the title doesn't change.) And I'm working on more.
Q: Is writing easy or difficult…or should I ask what parts are easy and what parts are difficult?
A: The beginning of a book usually goes relatively slowly for me as I get to know the characters. But once I'm in the groove, the actual writing goes pretty fast and smoothly for me. I do a lot of plot work before I ever sit down to write, and that works for me.
The more challenging part for me, after all these books, is to come up with ideas that I haven't already written about, but that still give readers the experience they want from one of my stories. Variety makes it more interesting and fun for me, too.
Q: Tell us about what you are reading at the moment or anticipate reading in the future? Any new books you are looking forward to?
A: Christina Dodd has a new one coming out this summer that I can't wait to read — Point Last Seen. She's a master of romantic suspense, and I find myself holding my breath as I read.
I'm currently reading First Comes Baby by one of my favorite romance authors and one of my favorite people, Christine Rimmer.
ONE"I'm going to sleep with Dimitri."
Robyn Caldwell picked up her glass of white wine and briefly thought about swallowing the entire contents in one gulp. Mindy's statement was certainly gulp-worthy. But she knew pacing herself through lunch was the responsible thing to do. A lesson her friend had yet to learn.
"You are not," Robyn murmured, because shrieking wasn't attractive. Especially at "the club," where their friends and frenemies were also enjoying Thursday's lobster salad. The dining room was filled with forty or so women, all dressed in Florida chic—diamonds sparkling, gold or platinum charm bracelets clinking, necklaces resting on tanned and toned skin.
"I might," Mindy Krause said, picking up her champagne. "He's gorgeous."
"Of course. He's a thirty-year-old tennis pro. What else would he be?"
Mindy, a petite brunette who was six months from turning forty, sighed. "I need a Dimitri in my life."
"You have a great husband. Payne loves you and the kids, and never has eyes for another woman. Why would you screw that up?"
"Payne would never know."
"There aren't any secrets in this town. Not in our social circle."
Something Robyn had learned the hard way herself. She'd been blissfully unaware of her ex-husband's affairs until a "friend" had oh-so-sweetly informed her.
"Maybe just some kissing," Mindy mused. "I want a little Dimitri action. The fantasies make me happy, so imagine what the real thing would do."
"The fantasies are safe. The real thing could destroy everything you have. Knowing you've cheated would devastate Payne."
Mindy's mouth formed a pout. "I never see him anymore. All he does is work."
Robyn stared at her friend-slash-boss. "You two talked about how that promotion would be more work for him but that it would be worth it. You wanted this for him."
"I didn't know how much he'd be gone."
The unreasonable statement grated nearly as much as Mindy's whine. "This isn't a good look for you," Robyn murmured. "You're changing the rules without telling your husband. That never ends well."
Mindy dismissed the warning with a quick shake of her head. "I'm not worried. Besides, if he does find out, I can just move in with you." She laughed. "You'll soon have that big house all to yourself."
"You have four kids," Robyn pointed out. "If things go south in your marriage, I'd rather have Payne move in."
"Well, that would get people talking." Mindy held up her empty glass to the server. "More, please."
The server obliged.
Mindy took another sip. "My sister called, swears she found a Thomas Pister chest in a tiny shop in Wales. It's dirt cheap, so I'm afraid it's a fake. She's looking for someone to prove authenticity. Wouldn't that be a find?"
"It would. I'd love to see it."
Thomas Pister had built beautiful chests and cabinets in the late 1600s and early 1700s. His intricate designs with stunning inlays sold quickly and for huge amounts. Depending on the condition and the materials, a good-sized chest of drawers could go for sixty or eighty thousand dollars.Excerpted from The Summer Getaway by Susan Mallery, Copyright © 2022 by Susan Mallery, Inc..

How awesome that you loved this story so much, Jo. Maybe I'll try this one this weekend. I love a good audio to listen to with chores. Excellent review as always. ❤
Thank you, Mischenko💜 I hope you're able to listen to this one. It's perfect for chores, which is what I did. My laundry and kitchen thanked me😏
That cover totally draws me in 😍. And the story sounds incredible. Excellent review, Jo!
Thank you, Tessa💜 Okay, I have to admit that cover sucked me in and I don't normally let them drive my reading decisions😏 I'm really loving Mallery's shift to contemporary fiction with romantic elements. I've loved everyone of her books in this genre.
Sounds fabulous Jo! I'm hoping this will be available on Scribd soon!
Thanks, Nicki💜 I hope so as I think you'd enjoy this story.
So glad this was a totally awesome story, Jo!
Thank you, Marialyce💜 The right book at the right time.
Fab review! I really like the sound of this one. xx
Thank you, Yvo💜 I think you'd enjoy this one.
Fabulous review Jonetta! Glad you loved this one! I need to add it!💞🎧🤩
Thank you, Kaceey💜 I think you do, too!

thebookishlibra says:
This sounds like such a delightful read. I think I'm going to go the audio route since it sounds like the narrator does such a good job bringing these characters to life.
Sorry I missed your comment, Suzanne! I hope you do enjoy the audio version💜
Wonderful review, Jo. I also loved this one. There are times Tanya Eby grates on me, but I agree, she did a good job with this one. Susan Mallery does a great job with stories about families.
Thanks, Carla💜 I'm finding Eby does best in this contemporary fiction category. Mallery seems to be using her exclusively these days.
Some of her romance performances are very saccharine sounding, but yes, contemporary fiction seems to be her forte.


Recently I moved my blog to Azure's cloud. I had some free credits for Windows Azure since I have an MSDN subscription, so I figured why not give it a shot. This move meant 3 big changes for me: Microsoft's Azure platform, ClearDB's MySQL services, and making sure I understood the costs in advance. It has been 3 months and overall I'm thrilled with the platform for my blog. This post will show how quickly you can get a WordPress blog up and running.
Azure does a heckuva lot more than host a web site that uses WordPress. But to keep focused, this post will cover my tips for using Azure for WordPress only. My goals for my blog were simple: I want it to be simple and require very little maintenance on my part to keep it functional.
Once you open an account with Windows Azure you can go to their portal to view the buffet of services and products you can purchase. I started by clicking the "New" button in the bottom left hand corner of he screen. This opens a dialog that gives you access to create everything that Azure offers. Perhaps the easiest way to create a WordPress site is to use their gallery. Once you click the "New" button, choose the "Compute" menu option, then choose "Web Site", and "From Gallery". A new dialog will open with all of the apps that Azure offers. When it opens (it may take a few seconds) scroll down til you see WordPress. Then click the arrows in the wizard and configure your WordPress site. Notice that it currently uses WordPress v3.4 The latest is now 3.5, so you will want to upgrade once you get it installed. I expect Azure will update this soon too. The url is important here if you don't want your own domain name. It must be unique, so choose wisely. If you see an error message about being over your MySQL quota, you need to cancel the wizard and either choose an existing MySQL database or go to the Azure Store and purchase another MySQL database service from ClearDB. Then, once you get a new MySQL instance, you can run the wizard again and it will appear in your pick list.
Purchasing via the Azure store is quite simple. Choose the New button in the bottom menu and choose Store. Then select ClearDB MySQL Database. You can choose a free instance (limited to 20MB and 4 connections), or a paid instance (1GB or more of space).
The dashboard view gives you a quick glance at your site, its linked resources (like MySQL databases), your FTP host name, connection strings, options to reset credentials, set up git publishing, and more. It also has a link to your publishing profile, which you can use from Visual Studio. The monitor view shows you stats about CPU time, data usage, requests and errors.
The configure view allows you to add domain names, define connection strings, change your .NET framework or PHP version, and turn on server level settings. I wanted to use my domain name www.johnpapa.net with my blog. This feature was recently added to Azure so it was quite simple to do this. To get there I selected my site johnpapa from the portal.which brought me to my dashboard for the site. Then I clicked the Configure menu option at the top. From here, I clicked the Manage Domains button in the bottom menu and was able to add my domains in there. You simply type in your domain name(s). It also tells you the IP address that you ned to use when configuring your A records with your DNS hosting service. Be sure to do that or the domain won't be directed here.
The scale view allows you to change from a free to shared to reserved server if you need more power. This is pretty cool on how quickly it migrates everything for you in seconds, in my case. I was quite impressed by this. You can also choose your instance size (how many cores and memory do you need) as well as your instance count. This page as much as anything will dictate your costs. I chose to use the most powerful I could get and still stay within my free instance (using the MSDN Universal promotion).
The final view is the linked resources. This is where you can see other services like the MySQL database that your WordPress blog uses. It is totally not obvious here, but that instance is not hosted by Azure but instead by ClearDB. Not that you really care where it is, as long as it is available. Still, it would be nice to know who to ask for support of it.
Creating the WordPress site was easy. In fact, it was up and running in just a few minutes. As simple as it was, there are a few important notes that I want to reiterate that may or may not be totally obvious.
The MySQL database that you get when you go through the gallery wizard to create the WordPress site has a 20MB limit, though it's not displayed anywhere during the wizard process nor on the dashboard. When you hit the limit ClearDB will turn off INSERT and UPDATE permissions on your database tables. This will cause terrible errors to show up on your site about permission problems. So the key here is to monitor your database size and keep it in check, or purchase a new larger database for your instance. If you do hit this, please see my follow-up post on tips on how to proactively or reactively fix this.


The LILUAH SHREE JAIN SWETAMBER TERAPANTHI SABHA has organized its 19th Akhand Jaap (Uninterrupted Chanting) of Namokar Mahamantra for 8 consecutive days first time at its newly constructed Sabha Bhawan. Sabha has been organizing this Akhand Jaap since last eighteen years on the auspicious occasion of Paryushan Mahaparva.
The base of Jain Religion is Namokar Mahamantra. This is the key Mantra and all together a different Mantra. In this mantra there is no name of specific person/ almighty. This is the mantra of Salute/ Namaskar to the virtues of the reverend. In this Mantra we salute the soul of great followers on way to the path of Moksha (renunciation/liberation from the karma). That is why it is acceptable to everybody and everywhere. The Akhand Jaap in Sabha Bhawan concluded on the day of Samvatsari. During this auspicious jaap there were -: 930 Samayik by Ladies, 74 Samayik by Gents. 3 persons accepted Pausadh vrata.
On the occasion of Samvatsari collective Pratikraman was exercised at Sabha bhavan by 13 lay followers. On the same day there were 8 Pausadh (5- 6 Prahar and 3- 4 Prahar). Muskaan Bothra, the Three and half year old daughter of Pravin & Nidhi Bothra (grand daughter of Sri Tejkaran Bothra & Bimla Devi Bothra) observed complete fast on the auspicious occasion of Samvatsari. Last year Smt. Bimla Devi Bothra, grandmother of little Muskaan had done Maskhaman Tap. Smt. Sangita Bothra leads the ladies youth wing and is a Gyanshala trainer from Liluah.
In last two months of Chaturmas there were a lot of " Tapasya" also at LILUAH. Mainly - MASKHAMAN (continuous fast for 30 days) by Smt Bela Porwal, one devotee had fast of 8 days, one devotee had fast of 9 days. Apart from this there were fasts for 4 days and many fasts of 3 days were also practiced. The Liluah Sabha has organized programme of Bhajans (religious songs) from time to time in the honor of all the devotees observing fast.
A programme was organized at North Howrah Sabha in pious presence of Sadhvi Kanak Shri ji in honor of Smt. Bela Porwal who has done Maskhaman Tap. She was honored by all the local and regional Sabha with literary mementos. Sri Moti Manot spoke on behalf of Liluah Sabha praising the Tapasya done by the devotee. A good number of Sharawaks and Shrawikas from Liluah attended the Paryushan Programmes in pious presence of Sadhvi Kanak Shri ji at North Howrah.
The President Sri Pukhraj Baid and Secretary Sri Pravin Pagaria and the other committee members of Liluah Sabha played active role in making all the programmes during the ongoing chaturmas a success.
Liluah is the gateway to Kolkata. Its 5 Km from Howrah Station.
Over 100 Terapanthi Jain families are residing here.

The Role of Salt Diapirism in Controlling the Development of Dryland Fluvial Systems: A Case Study from the Permian Cutler Group, SE Utah, USA
Venus, Joanne H.*1; Mountney, Nigel P.1; McCaffrey, William D.1
(1) University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom.
The growth of salt diapirs and the resultant generation of surface topography can significantly impact fluvial system style and thereby exert a prime control on resultant preserved stratigraphic architecture. This study examines the response of the fluvial succession of the Permian Cutler Group to salt-walled mini-basin evolution and salt-pillow anticline development in the Paradox Basin of SE Utah.
Detailed facies and architectural analyses have been used to constrain the complex fluvial stratigraphic architecture of the Cutler Group in the mini-basin depocenters, where the succession is characterized by stacked, multi-story and multi-lateral fluvial channel complexes. Sheet-like overbank and single-story channel elements are dominant in areas immediately adjacent to salt walls, where at least two local unconformities are present.
Paleocurrent data demonstrate early fluvial progradation towards the southwest- similar to the regional drainage pattern emanating from the sediment source area of the Uncompahgre Uplift. In the area of salt mini-basin development, outcrop and well-log dip-meter data demonstrate a change in dominant fluvial flow direction towards the northwest during the middle stages of fluvial system accumulation. This records diversion of fluvial systems in response to uplift along the salt walls. Paleocurrent data from the uppermost part of the succession demonstrates a reversion to a south-westerly-directed fluvial drainage pattern and it is likely that successive infilling of mini-basins resulted in breaching of the salt highs and a re-establishment of the regional drainage pattern. Fluvially reworked gypsum clasts potentially derived from salt walls that breached the surface are only observed in the far south of the salt mini-basin area. This suggests that rates of sedimentation typically outpaced rates of salt wall growth, with only subtle surface topography acting to control fluvial pathways for the majority of Cutler Group times. To the west of the salt-walled mini-basin area, the Cutler Group thins over the salt-pillow-cored Cane Creek Anticline and subtle stratigraphic relationships demonstrate significant reworking of previously deposited sediment.
Tectono-stratigraphic models developed from this study are being applied as analogs for the characterization of fluvial reservoirs developed in salt-walled mini-basin provinces, particularly those where linear salt walls are aligned perpendicular to prevailing fluvial flow direction.

right-side up / upside down…even a perfectly symmetric middle letter doesn't help.
§ 3 Responses to right-side up / upside down…even a perfectly symmetric middle letter doesn't help.
In-neresting. Come to think of it: Considering the ancient and haphazard history of the alphabet, isn't it amazing that we have even one letter–O–that looks the same from whichever angle you view it. C is close, but damaged, and V and A are almost reverses of each other, but with a dissimilarity that makes all the difference. Same, come to think of it, with N and Z, in whose case the up/down/horizontal orientation on the line makes all the difference.
AND, now that I see it in print, I realize we need to add P and R to this list, as well as Q to the O,C grouping. And the real miracle is that these shapes, as similar as they are, represent absolutely different sounds. Is that not a mind-boggle??
wow Ron, so beautiful seeing all that thinking in sketched form.
Really really nice. I don't think my brain could figure that out.
You are currently reading right-side up / upside down…even a perfectly symmetric middle letter doesn't help. at hey, that tickles.

For Mother's Day, Samsung didn't create an ad. They just showed reality.
The new Samsung's funny Mother's Day ad reminds young consumers how bad their moms are at, well pretty much anything technology related… including texting.
As Mother's Day has become a repetitive cryfest in which advertisers keep tapping into the same sentimental formula, this Samsung ad, "#TextsFromMom," is a breath of fresh air.
The spot looks at how your mom probably uses text messaging—or rather, misuses it. The whole thing is pretty funny, and nicely pokes fun without getting too mean. And it sticks the landing by reminding you that you shouldn't be texting with Mom at all this Sunday.
You'll also notice that some of the moms' phone numbers are visible in the spot. If you dial them, you get to hear what they have to say in their voicemail messages.
You can also show off your mom's funniest texts using hashtag #TextsFromMom for a chance to win a Galaxy S 6 edge.
How many Santa Clauses ads did you see last December? How many of them did you care about?
And how many "Moms being hugged by their lovely families" are we going to see this Mother's Day season? More than we need, which is why this Samsung ad is hot!

Nathaniel MG Cup Final Details Released
By Stewart Bloor | 27th November 2017
Comments Off on Nathaniel MG Cup Final Details Released
Mark January 20 2018 in your diary, as that's the date set for the Nathaniel MG Cup final. Between Cardiff Metropolitan University FC and The New Saints of Oswestry Town, the game will be televised on S4C's Sgorio, hence the 5.15 pm kick-off time.
The venue for the first domestic silverware of the season up for grabs is Aberystwyth Town's Park Avenue. No stranger to hosting Welsh League Cup finals, this will be the 13th occasion that the grand finale has been held at the home of the Black and Greens, who have yet to reach that stage themselves.
The competition – currently sponsored by Nathaniel MG Cars – was founded in 1992 alongside the League of Wales, as the Welsh Premier League was then known. The very first final was at Park Avenue where Afon Lido beat Caersws 4-3 in a penalty shoot-out, following a 1-1 deadlock after open play.
Under the previous incarnation of Total Network Solutions, Chairman Mike Harris saw his club lift the trophy at Park Avenue in 2005/2006, following a 4-0 victory against Port Talbot Town.
Five years later and back in Aberystwyth, The New Saints as the club were now known, again beat south Walians. This time it was much closer though, as extra time was required to see off Llanelli, in a close-fought game that ended 4-3.
January 2018 will be TNS' third appearance in the competition at Park Avenue and ninth overall. With eight wins – including the last three seasons – Scott Ruscoe will be looking to carry that momentum forward as he seeks to lift his first silverware as manager.

Crescent at Christmas
Anthony Blog, The built world, Uncategorised	0
Crescent at Christmas : The Buxton Crescent is an almost unique Grade-1-listed building in the town of Buxton. Owing much in its design to the Royal Crescent in Bath, but described by the Royal Institution of British Architects as "more richly decorated and altogether more complex", it was designed by the architect John Carr, and built for the Fifth Duke of Devonshire between 1780 and 1789
The building has been the subject of complex and lengthy negotiations with various bodies to bring together plans for its refurbishment and rejuvenation which should see works start soon, however whilst those are now expected to be close to a conclusion, the building at current is currently empty but has a various times been lighted in a similar fashion to that captured in the photos. with this year been potentially the last time (in its current state). The photo's are a quick few images taken hand held rather than with a tripod which would have aided stability for the longer night time shots.

Solar thermal panels, generate hot water for various uses. Temperature and flow are continuously monitored by the building management system. Heat pumps generate warm water through a heat recovery system significantly lowering fossil fuel consumption.
Latest technology inverter type such as A/C as well as A/C recovery systems keep energy consumption to the minimum while providing for ideal temperature levels. Ecological detergents are used for linen and dish washing as well as surface cleaning, minimizing the hotels impact on the environment. Eco friendly solutions which support beneficial bacteria replace chlorine and algaecide with less need to backwash swimming pools, a process that sends water to waste. Cleaning the pools on a daily basis helps prevent the build-up of algae which otherwise leads to the deployment of additional chemicals.
Paper cartons and opened cans are collected daily and sent off to a recycling plant. Recycled paper is used wherever possible and office printing scrap paper is reutilized for secondary use. Glass bottles are collected on a daily basis and sent off to a recycling plant. As climate control is a major factor of global warming we have taken care that temperature loss is kept to the minimum with double glazed windows.
Used batteries are collected and sent off to a recycling plant. Used waste oil and grease are sent off in order to be turned into biodiesel, an environmentally friendly energy product which results in a significant reduction in greenhouse gases compared to petro-diesel. Automatic timer switches control daylight activity signaling outdoor lights to switch off thus saving energy. In addition the bar area has been equipped with new outdoor table lamps with embedded solar panels and energy storage capabilities thus providing ecofriendly lighting during the night.
All incandescent light bulbs have been replaced by either Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) or Compact Fluorescents (CFL's) thus reducing the kilo-watts of electricity used as well as the average life span of light bulbs.
Use of modern energy technology. For instance, energy management systems in all guest rooms include: Hot-cold mixer tabs, main switches with magnetic key, which deactivate energy in the room as well as circuit breakers and contacts fitted to windows and doors. These switch off air-conditioning when a window or a door is opened.
By installing dual flush converters in toilets we have managed to limit excess water usage by a significant amount. By covering all rooftops with artificial green turf and gravel we achieve even higher levels of insulation thus providing for improved climate control during the hot months of summer.

Western Cape heavy downpours to recharge dam levels
May 21, 2019 | News, Water |
Western Cape Province has entered its winter rainy season once again; this was seen with the earlier heavy downpours across the City of Cape Town and the surroundings.
Sputnik Ratau, spokesperson from the National Department of Water and Sanitation says the rain intensified through the early hours of Monday morning, battering the Cape with strong downpours.
"The downpours will hopefully turn around the dam levels and recharge the ground water levels of the Western Cape," says Ratau.
According to the latest dam levels report released on Monday, the Western Cape dams are in a better state as compared to same time last year.
The Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWWS) which comprises 6 largest dams is currently at 45.44 % as compared to 20, 65% at the same time last year.
Gamka Dam located in the Karoo, has shown a remarkable recovery. It now stands at 43, 63% as compared to less than 10% a year ago.
Other dam levels across the province are as follows:
Garden Route Dam: 82.94% dam levels
Kwaggaskloof Dam: 20.37%
Bulshoek Dam: 72.47%
Ratau further stated that given the localised flooding experienced in the Western Cape, the DWS has the following safety advisory in relation to heavy rains and flooding:
Communities are requested to take precautions when they are crossing rivers, lakes and other water systems
Communities must limit recreational activities near water systems in particular when it is raining
Members of the public are urged to avoid crossing low-lying bridges, streams and rive

I'm a NOOB running SS on a Raspberry 3. It worked for about a week but now won't open. Rebuilt everything with a slick OS and reinstalled SS, nothing.
What broke? What can I fix? It worked and then doesn't so I know it *should* work again.
I'm not dumb and I know MacOS, basic programming, and electronics but I need this Barney-style as Linux is still a HUGE learning curve I struggle with.
Do you have any log output to indicate what stage it failed to load at?
I honestly do not know how to tell but if you tell me where to look I can check. Alternatively, as I am launching this from the GUI (and when attempted with Terminal mode it dies right away flashing the terminal window for like a nano second), is it possible to launch this from a terminal command vice double clicking the executable? Perhaps I could add some string to the command to give persistent feedback in a terminal windo rather than the one launched by the GUI.
Try launching the terminal window first, and running it manually from inside the terminal window; this way, the error information will go directly to stdout, which in this case is the terminal window.
Alternatively, you may have something in /var/log/syslog.
Which OS are you running on the Pi3?
I checked the staking but there was nothing in it from SheepShaver (based on the timestamps).
Running the program from a fresh terminal window was very helpful - feedback says "ERROR: Invalid ROM file size. SheepShaver requires a 4MB PCI PowerMac ROM."
The 'ppc.ROM' I'm using is the one that was included with the install and exists in the same folder as the executable.
Please name that rom file "Mac OS Rom" (without the quotes). If that doesn't work, download a known-to-work rom from the redundant robot site. Find the one labeled "best for SheepShaver".
Name it "Mac OS Rom" .
That should solve the issue you experience.
This worked perfectly!! Thank you.
Best I can autopsy this, when I originally added stuff for a different project, I broke my install. When I slicked my SD Card and installed again I missed the step to correct the ROM.

Racers of The Night by Brad R. Torgersen
Book Reviews, Online Content, Science Fiction
The first time I read Brad R. Torgersen's work was when David Conyers suggested I check out his first collection, "Lights in the Deep". From the word go I was hooked. Here was a clear, distinctive and fresh voice brimming with style, great ideas, vivid characterization and engrossing storylines. When I heard that Torgersen had a new short story collection in the offing my initial thought was would there be the possibility of lightning striking twice? Well, err….yes and no would have to be the answer. Overall, this is a collection of really good science fiction stories that is full of heart, excitement and energy save for a few stories that were just okay.
First out of the gate is "The Curse of Sally Tincakes". This chronicles the battles of a tenacious female racer hoping to overcome the title curse of the last female entrant on the grav bike circuit. She comes up through the ranks and has to face a notorious moon race that has defeated many a participant. I rather liked this story as it deals with familiar tropes that Torgersen weaves into his stories such as resilience, hope, battling the odds and pulling through. Next Up is the "Bricks of Eta Cassioepa" which is a poignant look at the process of colonisation from a realistic perspective. How does civilization build itself when transportation of raw materials and labour is an inherently expensive proposition across space? By using indigenous raw materials and penal labour to build bricks. This is a lovely little story that again weaves thematic props like compassion and redemption into its narrative to produce an engrossing tale.
"Guard Dog" is a solid slice of military science fiction that asks questions about ethics in war, political manipulation and the use of robotic drones on the battlefield. The "Guard Dog" is effectively a cybernetic warship crafted from the remains of a crippled veteran. These creations have been tasked with defending the solar system from a breakaway faction intent on our annihilation. Or so the initial narrative would have you believe. Entombed within his metal hull, the protagonist reminisces over his life and memories whilst awaiting border incursions from the Sortu. As he patrols the lonely void he begins to realize that all is not as it seems in our battle with them and he is an unwitting pawn in a game of deception and betrayal. Again, I can't fault this one. Torgersen is probably the only science fiction writer I have read who makes military science fiction resonate with heart and soul.
Like his previous collection, Torgersen pays tribute to those people who have helped inspire, help and shape his writing career. Together with his story introductions, I do like these short intermissions. They are quite genuine and heartfelt thanks to those who have helped and influenced him. It just adds another dimension to your usual writer's collection of stories and gives a glimpse of why his writing feels so engaging. The first of these is "Counsellor: LE Modesitt Jnr". Next up is "Recapturing the Dream". This follows the lonely existence of Henrietta, the sole remaining crewmember of Riga 33, a resource rich asteroid. A mass of anxiety and neuroses, she squirrels herself away from all human contact and is drifting through space until one day she is visited by the industrialist who funded the original mission. What follows is a dissection of how she went from an enthusiastic and passionate mission member to her present state of post traumatic stress disorder and avoidance of human contact. It again deals with familiar Torgersen ideas of hope and redemption and the idea that whilst everything may seem lost there is always a way to come back from the edge of oblivion.
The first of two detective styled stories is "The Flamingo Girl". This is set in the summering heat of a near future LA where call girls have been surgically and genetically enhanced to be more avian like. It is an offbeat but ultimately tragic love story that is more about loss and betrayal. This is then followed by "Reardons Law" which is very much a piece of sci-fi action escapism. This long story is centred on Kaliope Reardon, a covert special agent sent into the mysterious "Occupied Zone" to recover Archangel powered battle armour. It is just a fun bit of writing. Camarro Jones is the protagonist in the second detective story "Blood and Mirrors". She is a former sexbot turned cop on the trail of simulated human beings. I rather liked this story with its musings on the nature of life, be it artificial or human and what it is that actually defines our humanity. I'd be interested to read more stories featuring her as a protagonist. Following on from these is the second narrative break called "Mentors" which is a short tribute to Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.
The next couple of stories were for me, okay but not what I'd call great. With "The Shadows of Titan", I had actually read it before in an anthology called "Space Eldritch" and it struck me as ok. My opinion hasn't really changed. The story, co-written with another author, is styled as a science fiction story with nuances of horror and Lovecraftian overtones. What I got was a story that didn't really meld its disparate elements, didn't send shivers down my spine and felt like I had read and seen it many, many times before. Science fiction and Lovecraft's theme of eternity old cosmic horror would appear to be the perfect match. Man's exploration and push into the void would reveal how insignificant he is in relation to the cosmos' infinite age and expanse. Unfortunately it just doesn't quite work for me in "The Shadows of Titan". The premise involves explorers landing on the surface of Titan and discovering a strange pyramidal structure. Naturally, being the foolhardy type of crew who ignores instructions and decide to show initiative instead of caution they venture into the unknown and disturb things that should have been left undisturbed. "Shadows of Titan" isn't a bad story per se but it is just felt rather cobbled together and didn't really strike me as being particularly steeped in the gnawing dread, atmosphere and frights I'd associate with the Lovecraftian or horror styles. Disappointing is the word that comes to mind.
Similarly, "The Nechronomotor" isn't really horror but presents a different take on zombies. In this tale a reanimated corpse goes back in time to try and get its present self to change its ways. The story has existentialist tones and asks questions about personal choice and free will. Again, it was a story that was good but just didn't quite have that extra oomph to get me all excited. "The Hideki Line" postulates that there are time lines that extend back into the past a couple of seconds through to the titular line that goes thousands of years back. What would you do if you had the opportunity to use this route way once and once only? Again, it is a solid enough slice of storytelling. "Peacekeeper", written in collaboration with Mike Resnick, is another piece of military science fiction chronicling a confrontation between human soldiers and the alien Sindar in a universe controlled by shadowy corporate interests. It is a terse, tight story with just the right balance of action and pathos. This is then followed by yet another heartfelt nod to someone who has guided Torgersen's career as a writer entitled "Teacher: Dave Wolverton".
The final story in the collection is rather special it must be said and is a great example of the type of short science fiction storytelling that Torgersen excels at. "Life Flight" is an epic trek across the emptiness and loneliness of space as experienced by one unfortunate individual aboard a generation ship. It is recounted via diary entries and provides a fragmented narrative from the perspective of a child through to old age. In this, the narrator is a child who initially cannot enter cryostasis alongside his family and must endure the decades long journey between the stars in real time as caretaker of the sleeping colonists. It is a poignant and emotional piece about an individual's responsibility to the greater good alongside thoughts about the nature of loss and loneliness. It is one of those stories that captures the essence of Torgersen's writing style and themes and demonstrates why he is a writer that cannot be easily dismissed.
So, all in all this is a pretty good collection. It isn't quite up to the standards of his debut collection but there is more than enough here for people looking out for quality characters and stories to enjoy.

Johannes Jobst: Electron-Electron Interaction and Kondo Effect in Graphene
posted 7 Aug 2014, 04:51 by Lisbeth Kirk Mynster

In graphene, as in other two-dimensional materials, quantum corrections like weak localization, electron-electron interaction and Kondo effect cause a logarithmic correction to the conductivity at low temperatures. Hence, it is difficult to pinpoint Kondo physics from resistivity measurements in graphene. We therefore, introduce a refined analysis of magnetoconductance and magnetoresistance in order to disentangle the contributions of different quantum corrections. We present transport experiments and numerical simulations which display this discrimination in perfect samples. When magnetic molecules are added to graphene, however, not only a logarithmic correction to the conductance occurs, which suggests Kondo physics, but also inhomogeneity is introduced. Our thorough evaluation scheme now reveals that the data can be equally well explained by electron-electron interaction corrections in an inhomogeneous sample or by Kondo physics. Therefore, we conclude that, despite our refined analysis, additional spectroscopic information is necessary to unambiguously identify Kondo effect in graphene.
Johannes Jobst currently works as postdoctoral researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands in the group of Sense Jan van der Molen. His main focus lies on the understanding of electronic properties of two-dimensional materials. At the moment he is using low energy electron microscopy to study the local potential drop in samples from graphene and other layered materials. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in 2012. There, he studied the transport properties of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide in the group of Heiko B. Weber. His research focuses on tuning the properties of this material system and studying the graphene-substrate interactions, for example by intercalation or removing the substrate completely. Furthermore, he investigates fundamental quantum corrections like weak localization, electron-electron interaction and Kondo effect. He is a fellow of the cluster of excellence 'Engineering of Advanced Materials' in Erlangen and won the Ohm Prize best thesis award.
