Synopsis: The rules of engagement were never so scandalous. . .
A rumored pirate and the scurrilous black sheep of his well-to- do family, Cade Cavendish relishes his world of rebellion, deception, and seduction. Nothing and no one can hold him to be the duty-bound, honorable man he is expected to be. But when an unexpected run-in at his twin brother's estate with a ravishing, raven-haired maid leads her to believe he's actually a viscount, Cade's renegade life is thrown wildly off-kilter. And even though a case of mistaken identity can be quickly set to rights, matters of the heart are quite different…
Miss Danielle LaCrosse is startled to learn that the handsome gentleman who radiates sin and has the devil in his eyes is not her employer the Viscount, but rather his infamous brother. A former heiress, orphaned and left penniless, Danielle has more than a few secrets of her own. Cade may be skilled at coaxing even the most hidden desires out of Danielle but can he earn her trust–and win her heart–as they embark on an adventure to confront a dangerous enemy from both of their pasts . . . and uncover the identity of the so-called Black Fox along the way?
Review: This was a fun and entertaining adventure. Both have secrets they cannot share. She is sent into the home of Cade Cavendish's brother in order to spy on Cade. Cade is in London on a mission of revenge and he plays up the "black sheep of the family" persona so that no one figures out his true purpose, not even his brother knows his mission. Danielle mistakes Cade for Lord Cavendish when she sees him, drunk and heading into the wrong room. She goes to help him and ends up on his lap just as the real Lord Cavendish and Lady Cavendish come to the door. From then on, the attraction builds between the two. Cade loves her open and independent nature and how she speaks her mind and flirts with him. Danielle enjoys their interactions and talks and she finds herself falling for her mark. Their attraction builds up to the point that she leaves him after they share a very romantic dance in her room. She has a new mission, to hunt down the man who killed her father. Cade gets word about the man who tortured his brother is leaving London and he races to catch him. I don't want to spoil anything but when they reunite, man it was wonderful to watch. I enjoyed their adventure and the characters are strong and the plot is entertaining. This was the first book that I have read
This was the first book that I have read by this author and I think I will definitely go back and read books 1-6 in the series.

Dragonmark (Dark-Hunter #27) by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Synopsis: Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed– a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved.
Now he has a chance to regain what's been lost— to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn't the cost his happiness might incur, it's the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon's heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone– to see the entire world burn…
Encounters with a Rogue (Half Moon House) by Deb Marlowe

Synopsis: An Unexpected Encounter
Tall, practical girls might not be worth much in man's world, but Miss Lisbeth Moreton knows she's worth more than the squire's prized heifer.
To change her fate, she's run off to a date with destiny at the British Museum. Her would-be swain never shows, but an unexpected encounter with Lord Cotwell and his lonely ward might lead to altogether new prospects . . . and perhaps to love.
A Waltz in the Park
James Vickers once believed honor and family duty to be his life's work. Now he knows better–and he's appointed himself as silent witness to his father's sins. His greatest goal is to act as the continuously pricking thorn in his lordship's side–and scandal is his greatest weapon. He has no use for an innocent young miss.
Propriety is Miss Adelaide Stockton's most important asset. She must be all that is prim and proper if she's to live down her parent's misdeeds and have any hope of catching a husband. She must avoid scoundrels like Vickers at all costs.
Yet fate has thrown them together–and given each a key to the other's ambition. A bargain is struck…but together they find that gaining what one desires most is far more difficult than a waltz in the park.
This is a two-part book. Part 1, An Unexpected Encounter, focuses on a strong independent woman who has taken her future into her own hands on a gamble and appears to have lost. He is a bit of a cantankerous older gentleman who hated society and has to chase his new ward to the museum too many times to count. On one fateful trip to the museum, he comes across Lisbeth and is surprised at her protectiveness of his ward who she just met. She ends up coming home to become the girl's new governess and while there airs out more than his home and infuses new life into a bitter gentleman. Their story was sweet, there was one instance of budding passion but then it didn't go far. I would have liked to have seen their passion unfold further. In the end, it was a sweet, almost innocent love story.
The second story, A Waltz in the Park, follows James Vickers, the friend who abandoned Lisbeth in her time of need. He is an infamous rake and at the point where the story picks up, he has evolved his quest for vengeance against his father into one where he is no longer drunk all of the time, but rather being more subtle and thought out in his schemes. Along the way, he meets the "Celestial", an innocent that everyone is talking about as being a great beauty who is very innocent and angelic. She ends up striking a bargain with him; he will help her meet Hestia Wright, the famous courtesan, and she will help him speak with her cousin who he needs information from to use against his father. As they meet up in secret to exchange information passions flair. They have several stolen kisses, but he continues to keep his distance because he cannot be connected to an innocent, one his father would love to see him with. Tensions flare, harsh words are spoken, all seems lost, and then all ends well. The conclusion was sweet; I really liked how she set the scene in the park and won him in the end. Overall, it was an enjoyable story, but again no passion beyond several stolen kisses. Out of the two in the bundle, I did like this one a lot more. I do expect certain behaviors from a man known for his rakish ways and James did come across a bit too tame in that department, but in the grand scheme of the story, it didn't hinder the enjoyment of reading it.

The Pleasures of Passion (Sinful Suitors #4) by Sabrina Jeffries
Synopsis: When Niall Lindsey, the Earl of Margrave, is forced to flee after killing a man in a duel, he expects his secret love, Brilliana Trevor, to go with him, or at the very least wait for him. To his shock, she does neither and sends him off with no promise for the future. Seven years and one pardon later, Niall returns to England disillusioned and cynical. And being blackmailed by the government into working with his former love to help catch a counterfeiter connected to her father doesn't improve his mood any. But as his role as Brilliana's fake fiancé brings his long-buried feelings to the surface once again, he wonders who is more dangerous—the counterfeiter or the woman rapidly stealing his heart.
Forced to marry another man after Niall was exiled, the now widowed Brilliana wants nothing to do with the reckless rogue who she believes abandoned her to a dreary, loveless life. So having to rely on him to save her father is the last thing she wants, much less trusts him with….But as their scheme strips away the lies and secrets of their shared past, can she let go of the old hurt and put her pride aside? Or will the pleasures of their renewed passion finally enable them both to rediscover love?
Dark Alpha's Lover (Reaper #4) by Donna Grant
≈ Comments Off on Dark Alpha's Lover (Reaper #4) by Donna Grant
Donna Grant, Reaper
Synopsis: There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I am coming for you…
I answer to no one but Death. I am impenetrable, impervious, immortal. I exist to do Death's bidding and no one–not Reaper nor human nor Fae–can stand in my way. Except for the bewitching half-Fae, Catriona. She swears the magic in her family passed her by, but I know better. This woman is strong. This woman is powerful. And when her abilities surge forth, no one will be able to stop the Dark Fae from coming for her. Except for me. I want to keep her close. I want to keep her safe. I want to lose myself to her, again and again…
Review: Fintan is the focus of the next Reaper book and he is the Reaper with snow white hair and white eyes rimmed in red. We find out his backstory as a dark Fae before he is betrayed and killed and why he is the only dark Fae with pure white hair and eyes that are almost all white. He doesn't feel. He doesn't let emotions out, not since his death, until he sets eyes on Cat. Catriona Hayes comes from a family thrice blessed by Fae visits, except, unlike her family members she has no magic. Tragedy has also befallen her too many times to count and she expects her death will be next. When she spies Fintan killing a dark Fae, instead of fearing him she is drawn to him and him to her. She is full of courage and agrees to help Fintan trap Bran when he sheds light on the fact that it was Bran who murdered her siblings. They partner up but what they don't expect is the well-formed plan Bran has set for Cat and how he plans to get her to agree to help him. When Fintan believes she has betrayed him she faces Bran alone but Bran's ultimate plan continues to have surprises that neither see coming. I love the Reaper series. It is definitely unfolding and the plot is developing well. I like Fintan and his back story and Cat was a perfect match for what he needed in a partner. Overall, very entertaining adventure and love story.

≈ Comments Off on Beauty and The Beast (Fairy Tale Retellings #1) by Rachel L. Demeter
Synopsis: Experience the world's most enchanting and timeless love story—retold with a dark and realistic twist.
A BEAST LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF HIS PAST
Reclusive and severely scarred Prince Adam Delacroix has remained hidden inside a secluded, decrepit castle ever since he witnessed his family's brutal massacre. Cloaked in shadow, with only the lamentations of past ghosts for company, he has abandoned all hope, allowing the world to believe he died on that tragic eve twenty-five years ago.
A BEAUTY IN PURSUIT OF A BETTER FUTURE
Caught in a fierce snowstorm, beautiful and strong-willed Isabelle Rose seeks shelter at a castle—unaware that its beastly and disfigured master is much more than he appears to be. When he imprisons her gravely ill and blind father, she bravely offers herself in his place.
Stripped of his emotional defenses, Adam's humanity reawakens as he encounters a kindred soul in Isabelle. Together they will wade through darkness and discover beauty and passion in the most unlikely of places. But when a monster from Isabelle's former life threatens their new love,
Demrov's forgotten prince must emerge from his shadows and face the world once more…Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty of the Beast brings a familiar and well-loved fairy tale to life with a rich setting in the kingdom of Demrov and a captivating, Gothic voice.
Beauty of the Beast is the first standalone installment in a series of classic fairy tales reimagined with a dark and realistic twist.
Disclaimer: This is an edgy, historical romance retelling of the classic fairy tale. Due to strong sexual content, profanity, and dark subject matter, including an instance of sexual assault committed by the villain, Beauty of the Beast is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
Review: This retelling of one of my absolute favorite fairy tales was exactly how I envisioned an adult version to go. Adam and his back story are quite tragic and explain his character perfectly. The events that lead Isabelle to leave home with her ill father were horrible, no spoilers, promise. The moment she knocks on Adam's door and demands entry during the storm pretty much set the tone for how she was going to be the one to pull Adam out of the past and into living life. I very much liked the small adult changes to the plot, it took it from a Disney fairy tale to a full blown passion filled love story centered around two people who find love and happiness out of the ashes that were their pasts. My only negative was that it started off slowly and at times the descriptions seemed a bit drawn out. It took some time for things to pick up and for the plot to become engrossing. The moment that the plot does pick up was when Isabelle had stayed at the "Beast's" castle for a few weeks and their friendship began to grow into something more. Once that happens, it was hard to put the book down. I enjoyed it, it was a fun read.

Synopsis: Growing up as an honorary Taggart, Eric Patterson found the family he'd always wanted. Almost. He couldn't ever manage to see the clan's youngest and only daughter, stubborn spitfire Shelby, quite like a little sister. Suddenly, his long-suppressed feelings are determined to come to light.
Too bad Shelby's cursed. Her double whammy psychic powers to read emotions and locate anyone anywhere have always made relationships impossible—and now they've begun to endanger her life. If she uses her echolocation skills again, it just might kill her.
But when a malevolent supernatural force invades the valley, threatening the Taggarts and their neighbors, the Brands, Eric and Shelby must contend with both their blossoming feelings and the increasing danger. Does Shelby dare risk using her powers one more time, sacrificing her own life to save Eric?
Review: Book two in the Hell's Valley focuses on Shelby and Eric. They have both secretly had a thing for the other for years, and after she put herself in harms way to save Sara and Zach and Eric learned the truth about her psychic abilities, well tensions have run high. He has become far more protective and in her eyes overbearing. She has a stubborn self-sacrificing attitude that he has run out of patience with. On a rescue mission she uses her abilities again causing her to go blind for several hours. He is coming to his breaking point and fears her hurting herself permanently. Well the tension snaps and the proverbial cat is let out of the bag and neither truly knows what to do now. While they figure out how to take a lifelong friendship to the next level, evil is building up power and using the Brand family once more to carry out its evil deeds. Will Shelby and Eric come to terms with their feelings and her growing abilities or throw in the towel before things really heat up? Once together will they stick it out or push each other away? In the end the adventure and love story were great (though I think I have to say I liked book 1, Legacy of Lies, a bit more. There was just something about Garrison and Sara that just heated up the page). Book two was fun, fast paced, tense in the emotional category, and full of passionate moments. Never pegged Eric for the take-charge-and-be-in-control-in-the-bedroom kind of guy but it worked for him. I'm glad both of them found their happily ever after and that in the end they knew what they had and fought to keep it. Great book and the series is getting better and better.

Ralph Metzner, a psychotherapist who began his career working with Timothy Leary on controversial studies at Harvard involving LSD and other drugs, then spent a lifetime exploring and writing about expanded consciousness in all sorts of cultures and settings, died on March 14 at his home in Sonoma, Calif. He was 82.
His wife, Cathy Coleman, said the cause was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Dr. Metzner, who received a Ph.D. at Harvard in 1962, was a graduate student there when he began working with Dr. Leary and Richard Alpert, who were clinical psychology professors and had begun exploring therapeutic and other uses for LSD, psilocybin and similar hallucinogens. The three later collaborated on "The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead" (1964), one of the core texts of the emerging psychedelic movement.
Dr. Metzner took a more low-profile path but continued to work in the field, teaching for decades and writing numerous books, including "Maps of Consciousness" (1971), "The Unfolding Self: Varieties of Transformative Experience" (1986) and "The Expansion of Consciousness" (2008).
His interests came to encompass far more than hallucinogenic chemicals and mushrooms.
Among his recent interests was whether some drugs that have been demonized, like MDMA (commonly known as Ecstasy), might be useful in treating post-traumatic stress disorder or in end-of-life care.
Zach Leary, whose father died in 1996, came to appreciate Dr. Metzner as a stabilizing influence in those early-'60s explorations.
Dr. Metzner collaborated with Dr. Leary and Richard Alpert on "The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead" (1964), one of the core texts of the emerging psychedelic movement.
Dr. Metzner became a psychotherapist in the Bay Area and in 1975 joined the faculty of what was then the California Institute of Asian Studies, now the California Institute of Integral Studies. He taught there for 31 years, serving as academic dean from 1977 to 1989. He took emeritus status in 2006.
In the preface to a 1997 reissue of that book, Dr. Metzner explained that the transformative experiences he wrote about could have effects beyond the individual.
"It appears natural for individuals, after having liberated their own minds to some degree, to want to share their insights and learnings with others and to apply them in social, economic, and political relationships," he wrote.
Dr. Metzner's first marriage, to Susan Homer, ended in divorce in 1964. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Sophie Metzner; a stepson, Elias Jacobson; two brothers, Robin and Ken; two half brothers, Guenther Metzner and Otto Metzner; and a half sister, Anna Metzner.
It was a subject he addressed in a 1999 book, "Green Psychology: Transforming Our Relationship to the Earth," in which he wrote of participating in a ceremony with an indigenous people in southern Mexico that involved drinking balché, a mild intoxicant.


I love Facebook. I love Facebook so much that if I had a choice of donating a kidney to a dying Facebook or a dying Susan, I'd definitely save Facebook. [Possibly even over someone you actually like too. –Susan] Please don't interrupt me when I'm speaking. My love for Facebook originally was a result of how private it was. I had control of who could see my information and how much of it they could see. I was lulled into a false sense of security and all my friends were, too.
A few weeks back, Facebook announced that it was going to start opening up user profiles to the search engines. Hearing that, I was somewhat concerned. The first thing I did, before even reading the rest of my blog feeds, was march my little self over to my Facebook Privacy settings and make sure that I was opted out of that nasty, secret-spilling little feature. It's not that I have anything to hide; it's just that I definitely do. My Facebook profile is holy ground. I don't need that stuff ending up in anyone's search results. I mean, what if you all find out that I'm not nearly as innocent as I make myself out to be? That would be horrible for my image!
Oh, look at that. That's some private Facebook information being returned for my name. That's…not good. Curious as to where they were pulling that from I clicked on the source blog.
It's coming from my Facebook friend John Harmon's Facebook notifications. John and I may be 89 percent alike in what attracts us to potential mates (so, um, John, wanna go out or something?), but we're apparently very different when it comes to protecting the privacy of our Facebook profiles. Where I enjoyed Facebook's walled garden and being able to control who saw what parts of my profile, John has decided to open his profile up to all, exposing me in the process.
Or maybe the fact that information is getting out has nothing to do with John opening up his profile? Is me sending John a Facebook message or accepting a Friend Request even part of his public profile? As far as I'm concerned it's not. What if John and I were having some sort of illicit affair? This could seriously put a damper on my home life. [Because Jack Jack would be jealous? –Susan] I'm talking to my people here. Please go keep yourself busy by "editing" something. Your resumè, maybe.
There's been a good degree of Facebook backlash lately, most of it rooted in the fact that, with the birth of all these pretty Facebook applications, we're being forced to give up a little bit more of our privacy. Part of the information that was revealed about me was a result of the Quizzes application I voluntarily installed. Rae Hoffman recently blogged about her own problems with the Compare People application. That stuff doesn't so much concern me. I mean, it does, but I realized (and have accepted) that it's because of my own actions that information is being revealed. I opted into that. I don't feel like I opted into this. And I'm not so convinced that John sharing his public profile qualifies as him opting in either.
I want to know why random Facebook trivia about me is ending up in the SERPs. And why now?
The stuff leaked about me was pretty trivial, but this could turn into a serious reputation management issue if users can't control what's getting into the index. Do I care that the world knows that I'm Facebook friends with John Harmon? Not particularly, but what if I posted new work information that wasn't public yet? Or if it's revealed that I'm messaging Jason Calacanis a lot, or they start indexing pictures (be afraid, Rae)? My Facebook profile may be pretty tame compared to others, but even so, if made public, it could cause me a whole world of trouble. Susan would know all the trash I talk about her. And those pictures of her I've posted? I could lose my job for real this time.
I chose to align myself with Facebook because of the promise that my information was closed off from people I didn't want accessing it. Now that's changing and it makes me more than a little concerned about what may end up in the SERPs next. If you're a Facebook user, I'd caution you to pay close attention to what's showing up for your name in the SERPs. You may be surprised.
Go to My Privacy, Profile, below "Status Updates", uncheck the box that says "Allow friends to subscribe to my status updates". That should prevent your status updates from appearing in future feeds.
You can also do that for your Notes. Under "Syndication", select "No one can subscribe". I have not had problems with my status updates since changing those settings.
hey lisa, good info for the people who don't understand just how public the 'net is.
I just did a post on a myspace scraper site you may or not be aware of.
Controlling your personal profile can be an uphill battle if you're not careful about what you say where.
Nothing you say online is private. That's basically how you have to think of it. You should never say or do anything (even in a walled-garden) that you'd not want to be made public.
What if one of your FB friends suddenly doesn't like you so much anymore? They could easily copy your photos and messages and stuff, and do whatever they want with it.
Remember the Miss New Jersey "scandal" from a few months back? People got a hold of her private Facebook pictures (which incidently weren't bad/dirty…Miss New Jersey is a good friend of my daughter, who took some of the photos!).
The point is, anything you say or post anywhere is potentially fair game. Even on private forums, email, whatever.
Not quite Facebook's fault. For example, you can get a feed of your Gmail inbox. If you give that to Bloglines, I'd see that certain people may have emailed you (person, subject line) but not what they sent. It's down to Bloglines (and other services) accepting password protected feeds. John's feed is only showing up because he specifically fed it to Bloglines and didn't keep it private.
"Won't Bloglines and other similar services make my notes content searchable by the world if my friends enter the URL for my Notes feed into those services?
I haven't explored this enough, but it could be that there's a setting that John used to override this.
WOW – very interesting – this changes everything!!! Thanks Lisa – diggin in now to see what's really out there!

Prunet i Bellpuig (, en francès Prunet-et-Belpuig) és una comuna del Rosselló de 53 habitants, formada pels pobles de Prunet (geogràficament del Rosselló) i de Bellpuig (geogràficament del Vallespir), a més del santuari de la Trinitat on es troba l'ajuntament. La població es troba disseminada en masos agrícoles.

Etimologia
Topònim compost, cal considerar els seus dos elements a part. D'una banda, Prunet, que no apareix explícitament a l'Onomasticon Cataloniae de Joan Coromines, és un derivat del llatí prunus (gran esbarzer), en clara al·lusió a la vegetació abundant en aquest terme, com altres topònims catalans que comparteixen aquest ètim.

De l'altra, Bellpuig és un compost de l'arrel de l'adjectiu bell i del substantiu puig, del llatí podium (mateix significat). És un topònim romànic de caràcter descriptiu, referit al caràcter del turó on es dreçà el castell així anomenat.

Geografia

Localització i característiques generals del terme

El terme comunal de Prunet i Bellpuig, de 216.800 hectàrees d'extensió, és situat al centre de la subcomarca dels Aspres, en una zona de relleu muntanyós i trencat, cobert de boscs i de garrigues i històricament repartit entre el Rosselló i el Vallespir, tot i que es considera que el conjunt del terme comunal pertany al Rosselló. L'antic terme de Prunet és dins dels límits del Rosselló històric, mentre que el de la Trinitat de Bellpuig és vallespirenc, dins de la conca de la Ribera Ampla.

Al centre del territori, dalt d'un turó que justifica la segona part del topònim del terme comunal, es troben les restes del Castell de Bellpuig, antic centre de poder de la comuna. Aquest turó, amb la carena que el complementa, separa la vall rossellonesa del Bolès de la vallespirenca de la Ribera Ampla.

Termes municipals limítrofs:

El poble de Prunet
L'església de Sant Esteve de Prunet fa d'aglutinant del poble d'hàbitat dispers de Prunet, abans Prunedell o Prunedell de Baix, situat en el sector nord-est del terme, al nord i a prop del Coll d'en Fortó, en el vessant nord-oest del cim de Montner. Pertanyen a Prunet els masos de Can Clotes, o Can Caselles, Can Julià, o Mas Perilló, i hi havia hagut els masos de Can Paraire, Can Peirer, Can Toron, Can Ventura i el Cortal d'en Borruga, actualment tots ells convertits en noms antics, totalment en desús.

El veïnat de la Trinitat
Aquest veïnat, antigament anomenat la Serra, amb la seva església de la Trinitat de Bellpuig, antigament de Sant Pere de la Serra, és en el vessant occidental del Montner, al peu del turó on es troba el Castell de Bellpuig, que queda a ponent de la Trinitat.

El Serrat

Dins del terme de Prunet i Bellpuig, ve a ser un veïnat més de Bula d'Amunt. Està separat d'aquest poble pel pont de la carretera D - 618 damunt del Bolès.

El Castell de Bellpuig està situat damunt i a ponent del veïnat de la Trinitat, molt a prop seu. Al castell hi ha també el Dolmen del Castell de Bellpuig.

Vallela
Al nord de Prunet, molt a prop del límit amb Queixàs, es troba l'antic lloc de Vallela, del qual actualment només queda el Mas del Gleix. Aquest mas ha estat la base del Museu d'Arts i Tradicions Populars del Rosselló i la Cerdanya (Casa Pairal), de Perpinyà. El lloc ja era citat el 942 (Valle Gella), i encara es retroba el 1412 (Valesella). Després ja desapareix de la documentació.

Activitats econòmiques
Les activitats econòmiques de Prunet i Bellpuig són escadusseres, sobretot a causa de l'aridesa del territori, combinada amb el notable despoblament sofert. Hi ha algunes -poques- hectàrees dedicades a la vinya i a arbres fruiters i hortalisses, però gairebé testimonials. Hi ha algunes pastures, tal vegada les terres més ben aprofitades, mentre que el bosc és en molta mesura desaparegut pels incendis forestals del darrer terç del .

Història

Edat mitjana
El lloc de Prunet apareix documentat el 869, quan Carles el Calb concedí la villula de Prunetus, amb el vilar, il·localitzat, de Domnolino, amb totes les seves pertinences, a més del lloc de Mansaldi (l'actual Sant Marçal) al seu fidel Dodon, vassall d'Otger. Està documentat més vegades, però la més rellevant és del 1271, quan el vescomte Guillem VI de Castellnou ret homenatge per Prunet i Sant Pere de la Serra (la Trinitat de Bellpuig) a l'infant Jaume i el seu fill, Jaspert V, al rei Sanç. El 1321 era suprimit el títol vescomtal, però Prunet i Bellpuig romania lligat a la baronia de Castellnou.

Edat Moderna
Al llarg dels segles XVI, XVII i XVIII Prunet i Bellpuig romangueren dins d'aquesta baronia, fins a la Revolució Francesa. En aquell moment n'era senyor el marquès de Llupià, alhora baró de Castellnou.

The V5 DIY has the bare necessities for world class brake and clutch bleeding at an economy price. Removes trapped air with this reverse bleeder.
Reverse Bleeding injects fluid at the low points, the slave bleeder valves. Reverse Bleeding takes advantage of the "laws of Physics" air rises in fluid. The complete system is bled by forcing the air up and out the master cylinder reservoir. The brake fluid then fills the reservoir.
Removes trapped air in brake system which is the main cause of a "spongy pedal"
Read review about V5 Reverse Brake Bleeder from Classics Monthly (July, 2015).
Could be good but the quality of this is terrible.
The lug holding the return spring broke almost immediately and the pipe fixings are rather inadequate causing fluid to leak out.

Obama and Hillary
by themiddle
Obama selects Hillary – Gutsy move? Or doomed to Failure?
I don't usually follow Shmuel Rosner. I'm not sure why, it's more a lack of chemistry with his writing style and ideas than any ill feelings about him. Today he published an interesting essay in Slate where he claims that only wishful thinking accepts that Hillary as Secretary of State in Obama's Presidency will work. He says there are so many obstacles to a successful working relationship that it's unlikely that they will succeed in working together effectively. He concludes by noting that perhaps they each believe that the can drive forward together pragmatically to success.
I guess I'm one of those with rose-colored glasses. It seems to me these two people were among two of the finest candidates for President who we've seen run for this office in a very long time. They are intelligent, knowledgeable and clearly able to read other people and find ways to work with them. They are also both driven by a sense of mission to help the United States. I can't imagine that they won't act in a mature way and as a team. In fact, I bet they have already discussed how this relationship was going to work and my supposition is that Hillary accepted that Obama has the last word.
Rather than be afraid at having strong people at the top, it is precisely the confidence Obama is showing in putting in strong people into critical slots in his administration, that makes me believe his objectives are positive and that he intends to succeed at working with these people as partners not as underlings.
Everybody recognizes just how much repair work has to be done to undo some of the massive errors of the last few years. Having a strong President with weak underlings is not the recipe for success when the challenges are so great and so many in number.
I think Obama and Hillary will work swimmingly well together.

Barack Obama Hillary Clinton Secretary of State
It's startling that Barack's prepared to outsource foreign and defense policy (Hillary, Bob Gates et al.), but we should wait on his choice of national security adviser before reaching conclusions. As for Hillary– a far better choice than Kerry or Richardson, but can anyone look back on her husband's foreign policy as a success?
Yael says:
Well said, themiddle.
montana urban legend says:
I think one of the things that people underestimate (and have underestimated quite a bit in Obama) is the degree to which credibility is built on your picks — not only in terms of the competence and capability of each pick, but in terms of the credibility they give you to act in ways that many people wouldn't take seriously otherwise. The biggest issue here during the primaries was about Hillary's perceived hawkishness (and/or "experience") versus Barack's. With Hillary in at State, though, any foreign policy move by Obama, whether "hawkish" or "dovish" in appearance, will be treated more seriously than it would have been otherwise – just because you're used to taking her more seriously and because of her history of hawkish posturing/positioning. Does anyone here really disagree with that?
And I've got to agree with Tom on the Clintons' history in the foreign policy arena. I'm sure that not all their moves were disasters, and B.C. was wise enought to keep Richard Holbrooke clse, but my picture of the Clintons at State in the Obama administration features Bill Clinton masturbating furiously to fantasies of himself in Oslo accepting a Nobel Peace Prize with Ismail Haniyah. Of course, he claimed to have learned his lesson regarding Palestinian intransigence after Camp David, but really, who believes that Bill Clinton is an honest person? And we're to assume that his closest political protegee will be?
That said, I think Hillary's patriotic and clever enough to not turn her stint there into a disaster, and will likely do her best to make it a successful gig. But let's be honest, half of all this and the anticipated success behind it is based in appearances – which just goes to show you that no matter how hard one protests, image can always count for something more important than one might suppose it should.
At least, at the Department of State it is. Let's face it, the mission of the State Department is primarily to raise the stature of America's image in the world, isn't it? There can be a heavy dose of diplomatic creativity involved as well, which I think Clinton will probably do well at. But I can't really think of the last Secretary of State who really played as heavy a role in actually crafting policy other than Kissinger. And before that, George Marshall. Not too many. It's a plum job, but as long as the details are devised beforehand, the job is pretty much to carry them out, as Middle seems to suggest. Clinton will have a good deal to contribute about the sorts of things which she carried out in the form of diplomatic missions during her husband's administration, but I don't think she or anyone in the office for that matter needs to be a Cardnial Richelieu at this point. Obama probably knows pretty much where he wants to go. That said, thank G-d, he didn't pick John Kerry or Bill Richardson – who is a consummate tool, BTW, and who apparently owes a lot of tribute to the Clintons anyway.
It's a good pick, and should be an interesting one to watch.

Carriera professionistica
Ferragamo fu scelto nel corso del quarto giro del Draft 1977 dai Los Angeles Rams. Giocò nella NFL per Rams (1977–1980 e 1982–1984), Buffalo Bills (1985) e Green Bay Packers (1985–1986). Dopo aver guidato nel 1978 i Rams a un record di 9-7 e alle vittorie in trasferta nei playoff coi Dallas Cowboys e coi Tampa Bay Buccaneers partì come titolare nel Super Bowl XIV, facendone il primo quarterback della storia a partire dall'inizio in un Super Bowl nella stessa stagione della prima partenza come titolare in carriera.  Nella partita, Vince portò i Rams a rimanere in vantaggio per tre quarti, venendo infine sconfitti dai Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19.

Ferragamo ebbe la sua migliore stagione a livello statistico nel 1980 in cui passò 30 touchdown, secondo nella NFL. I Rams raggiunsero ancora i playoff ma furono sconfitti dai Dallas 34-13 nel turno delle wild card. Dopo una parentesi di una stagione coi Montreal Alouettes della CFL, tornò ai Rams nel 1982 e il 26 dicembre di quell'anno passò 509 yard in una gara contro i Chicago Bears, all'epoca la seconda prestazione di tutti i tempi dietro le 554 di Norm Van Brocklin. Fu solamente il terzo giocatore della storia a passare 500 yard in una gara dopo Van Brocklin e Y.A. Tittle (505 yard). Dopo il suo ritorno, Ferragamo guidò nuovamente i Rams ai playoff nella stagione 1983, col contributo nelle corse del rookie Eric Dickerson. Dopo aver battuto i favoriti Cowboys in trasferta nel turno delle wild card per 24-17, Ferragamo e Rams furono battuti dai Washington Redskins campioni in carica con un punteggio di 51-7.

What better time to share a Query Kombat success story than before the final round? Publishing is a long game. You tend to hear about the overnight successes, which is one reason it's so important to celebrate the stories that take a bit longer to find their homes. Today, we're hearing from Magali A. Fréchette about her journey to publish MY SOUL TO GIVE - available today! Congratulations, Magali! I've loved this concept since I first read the query, years ago.
I was a contestant in Query Kombat 2016, and although I made it into the first round, that's as far as I went. However, I did end up getting great feedback on my query, and it helped me along the way for future queries. It even helped me fix part of the story I realized didn't work through the query itself. Now, the story I entered for the contest isn't the one that got published (although, I'm still querying that one!), but I did want to mention something here. The writing community on Twitter, these contests like Query Kombat, Nightmare on Query Street, Sun vs. Snow, and all the Twitter pitching contests did get me where I am today. I remember when I was feeling really low about not getting into one of these contests, Michelle (amongst many others) reached out, made sure I was feeling better, and offered all the help and the support she could. And that's the greatest thing for a writer; a community. There are lots of people I want to thank for getting me here, and these contests, and their hosts are definitely among them, so thank you!
MY SOUL TO GIVE is an Adult paranormal mystery romance inspired by a dead tree the neighbourhood kids, my sister, and I didn't like approaching (sounds weird put like that, I know, but I swear, the story doesn't actually revolve around a tree!). From there, a story was born. I'd been querying my manuscript since I finished it back in 2014. It wasn't my first story, though; it was actually my 19th.
After many, many rejections, I was beginning to give up hope for this manuscript, but I'm glad I never gave up on it. It changed a lot from what it once was (original was so dark and depressing…and disturbing lol), but I love what it is now. Just to give an idea, this book went through over 72 edit rounds (not kidding), three revisions, and one rewrite. I can't even count how many times the query was redone, but you can imagine. A lot of people told me to move on, and write something else (which, I did since I'm on manuscript #25 now), but I just wouldn't – couldn't – give up on this one. It meant a lot to me, and after putting so much work into it, I wasn't ready to shelve it just yet. And all that hard work made it what it is today, and I have no regrets.
On February 21st, I found Evernight Publishing. I'd seen them before, and loved their covers, read their books – but I had waited since I already had eight queries out. I wanted feedback to see if my query was good enough now, or if it still needed work. Finally, that day, I decided to stop waiting, and queried them. And on April 7th, they emailed me back and offered me a contract to sign my book with them. To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement!
After going back and forth with them, I realized how lucky I was to be publishing with them. From answering my questions, setting me up with a wonderful editor, an artist who did a fantastic book cover, and a marketing manager who has been giving me wonderful and helpful advice, and explaining everything step by step on how the press works – it's just been all surreal, and I love every second of it!
I plan on writing a sequel to this book, and query Evernight again for it; crossing my fingers I get a second book deal with them because they really are a fantastic press to publish with, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come.
Moral of the story? Keep writing, yes – but don't give up on that manuscript you really want published. It may have to change, go through more edits, and even be rewritten, but eventually, it will find a home!
Magali A. Fréchette writes paranormal, dark fantasy, and thrillers, but always with a side of romance as she enjoys all things dark and sweet. Full-time single mom, photo manipulation artist, and gamer, she loves spending most of her time writing. She also enjoys reading, watching TV shows, and pizza. While, in her heart, home will always be in Ottawa, Ontario, she currently lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She has completed a Bachelor of Social Sciences with a Major in Criminology. Bilingual – French being her first language – and has a passion for Japanese.

Kumar Vishwas removed as AAP's in-charge for Rajasthan Assembly elections
The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday removed Kumar Vishwas as party in-charge for the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections. AAP national spokesperson Ashutosh said that Vishwas was being not able to "devote" time in the state. Vishwas has been replaced by senior leader Dipak Bajpai for the post.
"Deepak Bajpai will be the in-charge of the Assembly elections in Rajasthan. Kumar Vishwas was not able to devote time for election preparations due to his preoccupations,"AAP national spokesperson Ashutosh said. He said AAP would contest in all the assembly constituencies in Rajasthan. Bajpai will prepare the list of candidates for the polls in the state and it will be finalised by the political affairs committee of the party, he said.
Vishwas has had a rocky relationship in recent times with the AAP leadership and his removal as party's Rajasthan in-charge has only led to further speculations of widening rift between him and party's senior leadership. Recently, he had showed his disapproval after party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal issued an apology to former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia.
On March 16, a day after Kejriwal tendered his apology to Majithia, Vishwas had lashed out on Twitter: "I have been regularly dropping my shows to attend several court hearings related to 2013, 2014 and 2015 poll campaigns without any legal assistance from AAP. Another one pending tomorrow and I (have) been again engaging my personal lawyers for this. Will carry on this fight. Jai Hind."
The assembly elections in Rajasthan are due later this year. After party's drubbing in Gujarat, Punjab and Goa, the elections in Rajasthan is very crucial for the Aam Aadmi Party.

Baldur's Gate iPad Will Support Multiplayer, Cost Less Than $10
Filed to: Baldur's GateFiled to: Baldur's Gate
The enhanced iPad version of classic role-playing game Baldur's Gate, slated for release this summer, won't cost you more than $10. Also, it will support multiplayer.
You'll Be Able To Play Baldur's Gate On Your iPad This Summer
PC role-playing game Baldur's Gate will soon be living in a post-PC world. The beloved classic …
An enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is in the works for iPad later this year as well.
This is all according to Cameron Tofer, COO of developer Beamdog, who told me today in a phone interview that it would be "crazy" to charge more than $10 for the 1998 PC game.
"Baldurs Gate is a pretty big game and we're not cutting it down to size," Tofer said. "There's a boatload of content there, 80+ hours. But past ten dollars doesn't make sense."
We'll have more on the future of Baldur's Gate, including details on how the upcoming port will take advantage of the iPad's touchscreen interface, tomorrow morning.


Does Jirachi's Doom Desire attack only work if this card stays in play or does it still work even if it is knocked out?
Can I see the card?
I'd say it would still do damage but I'm not sure.
I looked at Reddit, it had nothing on if Jirachi dies but the attack is still easily avoided by switching or evolving the pokemon affected by Doom Desire, if that helps at all.
Thank you for your help Proffessor Epic, it has been a great help.
Took me a while to find the answer, but I know now!
Okay if Jirachi uses Doom Desire and get knocked out, Doom Desire is no longer in place. And as was said in the comments, the effect also goes away if the defending Pokemon retreats.
Why is Doom Desire a usually useless move on Pokémon Showdown?
Jirachi won't learn Doom Desire?

Two high-ranking U.S. senators on Wednesday released to the public a proposed bill that would grant courts the authority to order tech companies dealing in hardware, software or services help law enforcement agencies gain access to encrypted communications.
The draft bill, dubbed "Compliance with Court Orders Act of 2016," was penned by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Vice Chair Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in a bid to streamline government requests for encrypted data. In its current form, the legislation would require companies like Apple to bypass their own security measures, access target data and present it to law enforcement agencies in an "intelligible" -- decrypted -- format.
As applied to Apple's recent kerfuffle with the FBI over a passcode locked iPhone connected to last year's San Bernardino massacre, the company would have been forced to "provide, in a timely manner, responsive, intelligible information or data, or appropriate technical assistance to obtain such information or data" after having received a court order demanding as much.
Importantly, the bill requires data be handed over in an "intelligible" format, defined as information or data that has either never been encrypted, or has been encrypted and subsequently decrypted for authorities. Since the legislation does not refer to a specific data gathering methodologies, or limitation thereof, the onus of thwarting built-in security measures, extracting data and decrypting it falls solely on the company.
As compared to previously leaked versions, today's draft has been narrowed and now only applies to cases involving crimes resulting in death or serious bodily harm, foreign intelligence and espionage, terrorism, federal crimes against minors, serious felonies and federal drug cases.
The controversial bill has been the topic of much debate since it was learned that Burr and Feinstein were mulling its creation in February. An early version recently leaked online and was promptly thrashed by security experts who called the proposal "ludicrous" and "dangerous."
According to Reuters, the groups who leaked the bill last week say no substantial changes were made in the interim. The publication notes Burr and Feinstein released the draft version to gather feedback from lawmakers and their constituents.
"I am hopeful that this draft will start a meaningful and inclusive debate on the role of encryption and its place within the rule of law," Burr said in a statement. "Based on initial feedback, I am confident that the discussion has begun."
I can only conclude they intentionally proposed the most extreme position possible so as to make their final position seem reasonable by comparison and therefore claiming some faux compromise while still achieving their primary goal of essentially outlawing private encryption.
Pure stupidity due to knee jerk reactions by politicians.
If there were awards for irony in titles, the "Senate Intelligence Committee" would win top honors every year. Also, if brains were C-4, Feinstein and Burr couldn't blow their own noses.
Do they also require the tech vendor to break the laws of physical? Or is 220 years considered "timely" (given the performance limits of current technology)?
"Your bill is fatally flawed and based on arrogance and ignorance, or better yet, sheer stupidity. Further, as members of the US Select Committee on Intelligence, please let us know when you've finally found some."
Please advise if you need any further feedback or assistance.
I would expect this to actually strengthen encryption technologies. As reported here, there would be no requirement for the companies to actually be able to break the encryption.
Everyone seems to believe that failure to provide intelligible data when ordered would be in violation of the law. Unbreakable encryption could not be used without risking violation if the data should ever be demanded in a case, similar to how in some states a homeowner can be charged with having illegal fortifiactions if police find that a home has been intentionally foritified for the purpose of delaying entry by police.
This is not a wise bill. It will be challenged by all the major tech firms up through the SCOTUS. Second, if the Bill passes and tech firms have to change their OS to meet the law, then bad actors will either use a need-to-end app created in-house or from the underground market or the bad guys will simply drop of the net and go black, using non-technical, non-electronic means to plot and coordiante their bad deeds. Instead of this new Bill we need better LE and intelligence capabilities. This Bill is also a good reason why there needs to be term limits on every elected official and judge.
"Senate Intelligence"..... that there is the definition of 'oxymoron'.
They want their cake and eat it too..
One hopes so, as there are already a number of devices in the wild that can't be decrypted by the manufacturer without the participation of the user.
The alternative is a somewhat unworkable law. For a start, it's a US law, so can only be applied to people operating in the US. So, let's say, Samsung makes a phone for the US market that satisfies the requirements of this law, but sells the rest of us a version that doesn't. What happens if I travel to the US with my strong encryption phone, and get involved in a crime of some sort. Law enforcement want to see what's on my phone, and take it to Samsung US to be decrypted, but they can't do it. Are they then going to charge a foreign company with selling a foreign national a phone in a foreign market because it doesn't satisfy this law?
What they can do, and have tried to do in the past, is get trade partners to pass similar laws, but there will still be places that won't, and that will be where people who want their phones to stay encrypted will buy them.
Unduley burdensome. The way it is written it involves computers, tablets, phones, iPods, cloud services, and maybe even external drives, optical disks and memory sticks. There is no way that companies can comply with all that because each case is completely different. Who is responsible if multiple vendors are involved? For example I build my own servers from off the shelf components where passwords and other data is md5 hashed which I can't crack. Even password protected zip, pdf files or PGP email messages may fall under these statues. There has to be more clarification because these mandates could bankrupt a small company.
Frak you, Senators. No backdoors. Even the smallest backdoor can be cracked wide open, putting us all at risk.
Does that law apply to companies producing paper shredders? Will they have to invent a reasonable and timely process to un-shred the pieces? What about match companies? Recreate the original text from the gaseous carbon dioxide and water fumes?
In trade for a "Public Eduaction" children will be required to spy on their parents and siblings and report any transgressions deemed illegal by the state.
You will be arrested immediately as per definition only terrorists use strong encrypted phones!
I believe Feinstein is up for reelection soon. Next year? It will be interesting to see how her home state of California, and more specifically Silicon Valley reacts to this.
They are always up for election. Don't fool yourself into thinking they don't always think about it. I bet he and she are responding to pressure from constituents and fellow lawmakers to address this issue. Governments have never really tolerated secret keeping on the part of their citizens, so I figure we should enjoy what time we have left and then long wistfully for the days of actual digital privacy.

Q: Does CloudWatch perform SNMP monitoring? CloudWatch can be used to perform system monitoring(AWS resources) & application monitoring on AWS resources.
Does CloudWatch rely on SNMP mib(of AWS instance) to monitor the metrics?

A: No.  CloudWatch collects all these metrics from the hypervisor on the physical host that is running your instance.  It does not communicate with any processes running inside your instance, SNMP or otherwise.

A: No definitely not. CloudWatch standard EC2metrics are hypervisor-level and not reported by the instance. If you put the instance in a Security Group that blocks ALL outbound network traffic, the metrics still update. That also explains why CloudWatch metrics don't include any OS-level stuff like memory utilization, free disk space, etc.
You can install a CloudWatch agent on the instance that pushes additional metrics (like memory utilization and free disk space), but that communicates over HTTPS like all the other AWS APIs.  The CloudWatch API is well documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html
Furthermore, SNMP is typically a LAN protocol.  So if CloudWatch was using SNMP it would have an IP address in your VPC. CloudWatch does not have a VPC endpoint by default.

A: No, CloudWatch doesn't support SNMP monitoring. But you can use some external tools, which will read SNMP metrics and it will put metrics to the CloudWatch.
For example, you can use customized collectd with the SNMP plugin.

A: No, CloudWatch can´t get SNMP directly, but you can use other solutions to "collect" traditional SNMP data into CloudWatch.

The Women's Project of New Jersey was initiated in October 1984 to publish the first comprehensive reference volume on both representative and notable women in New Jersey's  history.  Its mission expanded to promote the understanding of "the role of women in the history and culture of our state." The original goal was achieved in April 1990 with the publication of the award-winning volume Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women. The organization's broader goal was and continues to be achieved by the creation of a traveling photographic exhibit, a speakers' panel series, a lecture series, two school workbooks and K-12 curricula found on the NJ women's history website, a speakers' bureau, a poster series, a paperback revised and updated edition of Past and Promise, and the development of the nation's first state-based women's history  website.

History
Begun with the support of the Mendham [NJ] Free Public Library, the Project's growing research, production and publication activities resulted in the incorporation of the Women's Project of New Jersey as an independent non-profit in July 1985 with a volunteer Board of Trustees that included "historians, librarians, writers, a lawyer, an accountant, a publicist, an educational equity specialist, women's studies specialists, and an art historian." Academics from Rutgers University, New Jersey City University and Drew University were particularly active on the collaborative project.

Initial steps included defining the focus and scope of the Project, determining the research methods and how to ensure accuracy, establishing the editorial board, targeting the audience to be as wide as possible, deciding how to organize the volume, discussing funding sources and potential publishers, and identifying subjects for the biographical volume that promoted an understanding of the role of women in the history and culture of New Jersey. The selection of "representative" women of all backgrounds as well as "notable" women was determined, reflecting the diversity and value of the lives of the women of the State, and adopting an inclusive view of history that understands the past as the history of all the people, not merely the history of those who held a monopoly of power. "

The task of the editors was to determine "not only who was significant, but also what was significant",   including the value of women's unpaid family and community-building work.

The search for suitable subjects included scouring major historic reference sources, writing to all of the state's 463 historic societies, and contacting major women's organizations.  In order to help ensure an appropriate historic perspective, it was decided that potential subjects for the biographical volume had to have been born in or before 1923, the date of the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment, written by New Jerseyan Alice Paul.  Out of 1,000 potential subjects, 296 were chosen, illustrating women's private and public sphere of achievement. Special efforts were taken to seek out under-represented sub-populations of women.

More than 250 researcher/writers were recruited and trained to complete the extensive research of original documents required as the foundation for writing each biographical entry. They contacted the living subjects, some of whom were interviewed, and asked all to review their biographies before publication. Several instances of published historic error were uncovered and rectified.  Several artifacts and rare photographs, long neglected or lost, were uncovered and given their rightful place in the history of the state. Bibliographic entries at the end of each article and a comprehensive Index provided scholars and general readers with additional tools to expand their understanding of the women examined in the reference volume.  An introduction and overview essays for each of the four defined historic periods provided context and unifying narrative. It was decided not to use the traditional historical periodizations, based on wars, but rather to create new ones based on women's lived lives.

State-based private foundations, state and federal agencies, and corporations provided the majority of the funding for the writers/researchers' honoraria, administrative costs, and special projects. Fundraising events were also carried out.

The quality of this historic undertaking was recognized by the award of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) to the WPNJ of its Certificate of Commendation in 1986 for the "Women's History Through Biography" project. In 1990 and 1991 respectively, the WPNJ was honored with awards from the New Jersey Historical Commission and the national AASLH for the book, traveling photographic exhibition, and establishment of the Women's History Archives at Rutgers  University Libraries, all deemed contributions to the advancement of state and local history.  In 2004 the AASLH again awarded the WPNJ a Certificate of Commendation in recognition of the New Jersey Women's History Website, created in collaboration with Rutgers University and the New Jersey Historical Society, which has served as a model for other state-based women's history websites across the nation.

Upon its publication, the significance of the volume in researching, recording and interpreting for a wide public audience the experiences and achievements of half of the population which had been largely ignored by traditional scholarship was recognized by the widespread review and praise of the volume by The New York Times, the Star-Ledger, the New Jersey Historical Commission Newsletter, New Directions for Women, NJ History, and numerous other regional newspapers and scholarly journals.

The impact of the original WPNJ initiative has multiplied through the years as various publications by Project scholars, the creation of a Speakers Bureau to provide knowledgeable presenters to schools and communities, the creation of a "New Jersey Women's Heritage Trail,"  initiatives such as the "New Jersey Women's History Web Site Training Project" – which trained teachers to demonstrate how to integrate New Jersey women's history into K-12 curricula using Internet documentary sources –  biographical entries in The Encyclopedia of New Jersey, and other initiatives have continued to use WPNJ scholarship to expand the understanding and appreciation of the role of women in the history and culture of the state.

The Board of Trustees of the Women's Project of New Jersey, Inc. dissolved the organization on 4 November 2006.

Projects
The collected research which resulted in the publication of the Past and Promise reference volume inspired the creation of other products to disseminate the stories and issues embodied in the lives of New Jersey women to an even wider audience than the reference volume alone could reach.

Reference Volume
Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women, the first comprehensive reference volume (486 pages) covering the lives of 296 notable and representative New Jersey women over 4 centuries, was published in 1990 by Scarecrow Press, Metuchen, NJ. The 1997 paperback revised and up-dated edition was published by Syracuse University Press.  The Foreword was written by Gayle Samuels, President of the WPNJ Board of Trustees.  The Introduction was written by Suzanne Lebsock. The Historical Overviews for the four sections of the volume were written by Carmela Ascolese Karnoutsos (1600-1807), Carolyn DeSwarte Gifford (1808-1865), Delight Wing Dodyk (1866-1920), and    Joan N. Burstyn (1921-present).  The Managing Editors were Gayle Samuels and Caroline Wheeler Jacobus.  The WPNJ and Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women are cited either bibliographically or as a "Further reading" resource in numerous Wikipedia articles such as History of slavery in New Jersey, Temperance movement in the United States, Women in Archaeology, the Denishawn School or the Wikipedia articles on Union Township, Union County, New Jersey and Vauxhall, New Jersey, as well as in many of the articles on specific women subjects in Wikipedia articles, of which a selection of bibliographic subjects from among the volume's 296 subjects is listed below.

Traveling Photographic Exhibit
A traveling photographic exhibit based upon the photographs and research materials collected for the reference volume traveled throughout the state to colleges and universities, schools, museums, libraries, corporations, and conferences  from 1990 to 1994. It presented five themes: law and politics; the economy (agriculture, business, and industry); community life; arts and letters; sports and physical fitness.  The curators of the traveling photographic exhibit were Doris Friedensohn, Ferris Olin, and Barbara Rubin.

Elementary and Secondary School Curriculum
Three of the WPNJ essay writers: Arlene Ferman, Helen Svihra, and Grace A. Aqualina created a workbook for students at the upper elementary level entitled Better Than Our Best: Women of Valor in American History  which was published in 1991. Subsequently, the Women's Project of New Jersey sponsored a 1993 publication designed for secondary school usage on women's suffrage in New Jersey, Reclaiming Lost Ground: the Struggle for Woman Suffrage in New Jersey  by Neale McGoldrick and Margaret Crocco. This volume is filled with archival documents, images, and narratives.

WPNJ Archive
In 1990, the WPNJ arranged with the Special Collections of the Rutgers University Libraries to inventory and house the organizational and research archives of the WPNJ project. The archives and its finding aid, entitled "Inventory to the Records of the Women's Project of New Jersey, 1984-2004 (Collection No. MC 833)," are now deposited with Special Collections/University Archives at Alexander Library, Rutgers University, New Brunswick.  The Records of the Women's Project of New Jersey document the work undertaken by some 300 volunteers to produce Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women. The papers also provide details of the Project's other endeavors to promote understanding of the roles of women in the history of New Jersey, as well as a wealth of primary and secondary sources on notable and representative women in New Jersey's history.

Women's Biography Lecture, Film, and Panel Series
In 1985-1986, WPNJ collaborated with the Women's Studies program and Wendy Kolmar,  Drew University, on a lecture series entitled "Women's History Through Biography." Nationally recognized scholars, among whom were Lois Banner, Blanche Wiesen Cook, Nancy F. Cott, and Darlene Clark Hine, presented lectures to promote the study of women's history followed by workshops and a documentary film series.

The "New Jersey Women's History" website,  an Internet project based on Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women, was the first state-based on-line women's history website in the nation and the first electronic resource for New Jersey women's history.  It has been active since 1997. The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) again awarded the WPNJ a Certificate of Commendation in 2004 for the website.   During the time the WPNJ administered the website it was the only such state women's history website in the country.

Follow-on Projects

Women's History Initiative
In 2002, based on the 1990 WPNJ publication Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women, the WPNJ worked with the Historic Preservation Office of the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the Alice Paul Institute to identify and create a survey of underrepresented historic sites and resources associated with the lives of both extraordinary and representative women of New Jersey, including a cultural and historical context study of how New Jersey women's history related to United States history.  This work constituted the foundational components of the NJDEP's Women's History Initiative.  They were used to create the DEP's New Jersey Women's Heritage Trail guidebook, New Jersey Women's Trail.

Preservation Partners
Also based on the 1990 WPNJ publication Past and Promise: Lives of New Jersey Women, Preservation Partners published its own book, Women's Place in New Jersey History, in 2004.

The Encyclopedia of New Jersey

WPNJ President Delight Dodyk served on the advisory board of The Encyclopedia of New Jersey (2004) and helped select subjects from Past and Promise for inclusion in the encyclopedia.  Sixty-five entries from the Women's Project of New Jersey volume were adopted into The Encyclopedia of New Jersey, with attribution to the WPNJ and to Past and Promise (1997).
