Sintesi dell'editore
in Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past...and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves...and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love - the light and the dark, the warm and the cold - in a way you will never forget.

Respectable Second Entry
The first book was interesting, although the characters were a little predictable. This second in the series is also acceptable. It's not fabulous, but a fairly satisfying listen. The introduction of two other narrators helps keep the story fresh.

Fantastic sequel!
After listening to Shiver in a matter of days, I was thrilled when I had Linger ahead of me to listen to. The storyline was fanastic and had some really wonderful scenes. I especially liked the transformation of Cole. I'm looking forward to the final chapter, Forever, due out in July. Thank you Maggie for such fun reads. :)

"Just a fictional story"
I thought is was a really good love story....I believe when reading a book you have to have an open mind about it and not compare it to any other book. I say just a fictional story cause some people complain and say that is not how a teenager acts or thinks, but once again its fictional and we all dont think the same. although im no longer a teenager, but a mother of 3 kids reading takes me away from the everyday life of stress and that is what this book has done and i love it.

great follow-up
Loved "Shiver", and this is a great follow-up. Not just a teenage novel, enjoyable by all ages. A nice story-line with a fresh spin on werewolves, not overdone. Again a little moody like the first one, but not so much you can't enjoy it. There are four narraters for the main characters whom the perspective switches to and I enjoyed the voice changes to go with it.

Ahhhhh young love!!!
If you could sum up Linger in three words, what would they be?
Tender teenage angst....
What did you like best about this story?
I liked how Sam and Grace refuse to give up on each other...even though everything was falling apart...
Which scene was your favorite?
I am going to say when Cole meets Isabel for the first time...even thought this book s a whole is very enjoyable...
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Oh yes...tears near the end...and there were some cute funny parts...
Any additional comments?
Again I wasn't sure if I was going to like this 2nd story in the beginning...I don't like it when the switch narrators on me...and switching the narrator for Sam could have ruined this one for me...but I gave it a chance and ended up loving this book I think a little more than the first one...this story is a little more raw in my opinion and I will be starting #3 right away! If you enjoyed the first one...you will love this one too...2 thumbs up!

Not as good as Shiver!
I bet you are wondering why I went ahead and listened to the second book in the series after I didn't give Shiver a great review. Basically, I bought the whole series at one time so I kinda feel like I have to. So needless to say there will be one more review for Forever next.
If you have not read the first book, from here on is a spoiler. I don't know how to talk about the second book in a series without a spoiler or two.
The relationship between Grace and Sam doesn't really take on any new depth. I mean they sleep together in the first book at her parents house. There was no mention of anything deeper or greater happening between the two until Grace runs away. Of course she ends up at his house. But the one thing that BUGGED me beyond belief was...*arghh* If your girlfriend the love of your life is ill, sick, pale, feverish, not herself why in the heck does it take you over 60% of the book to say something. She was coughing up blood for goodness sake. And Sam just ignores it. He has wolf senses and knows she smells..odd. But nope! He just goes on writing poems, songs, making paper cranes and working at the bookstore. REALLY!!! Don't worry there is more. There is a new character in this book. Cole! He is a Kurt Korbain self deprecating drugy rock star. Did I mention Sam ignores him too? How can you ignore a new person living in your house? And a messy person at that.
Sam, Grace's boyfriend seems like he has his head in the clouds and is not a strong male character at all. He never makes any decision at all in the book and that is toooo pointless for me to handle. As in the first book Olivia, Grace's BFF is also in this one and for a BFF Grace never talks or thinks about her until it's to late. AARRGHH!!! Why even mention her then?
I think I might have liked the book better if I would have read it myself. Their whispery, low tones became annoying toward the end of the book. As in the first book Jenna (narrator) shines and has the perfect voice.
One more book to go. Fingers crossed!

An Amazing 2nd Book Of A Great Series!
Any additional comments?
Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2) is proof that the second book in a series can be better than the first. A fact I never would have believed after finishing Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1). When I read Maggie Stiefvater's writing, I'm amazed at the way she describes the tiniest things...instantly conjuring up images making the unbelievable story suddenly believable.
I love the way she allows the readers to fall in love progressively with the characters. Even when two people are instantly bonded (Sam and Grace), she takes us through everyday situations giving us - unknown/unseen bystanders - the chance to watch them fall in love. She understands how the characters' interactions during those innocent moments are more powerful at proving 'forever love' than dozens of passionate encounters. Because of this, readers will dream of someone who folds paper birds for them, commemorating every special occasion.
The introduction of Cole's and Isabel's turmoil and chemistry were the perfect way to add a whole new - and phenomenal - dimension to the storyline. In fact, the two of them are such strong characters they easily could have been carved out and given their own series.
I'm always envious of writers who are talented enough to embed poetry and songs perfectly within their stories. Doing so adds another fantastic aspect to an already special (and poetic) tale. Between Sam and Cole, I expect this style to continue throughout the series, and I can honestly say it's one of the reasons I've become a fan.
The The Wolves of Mercy Falls is a series that I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great paranormal romance series.

Inklings Read Reviews: Linger
Linger, the second installment of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series, was simply amazing! All of the voice actors were cast so well that I can't imagine actually reading it. I wouldn't want to read this… Listening to their narration brought so much dimension to an already great story. Believe me… this audiobook is worth every penny. The thing I really loved about Linger was that not only do you get Sam and Grace's point-of-views but also Isabelle and Cole's. They each have their own little side stories that really add to the mix.
Speaking of Cole, at first I didn't like his character. I found him to be selfish and annoying. But I must say that he really grew on me. If you are looking for some amazing, to-die-for male lead characters then you MUST read this. Sam was great as usual, but what I really enjoyed was the opportunity to learn more about Cole and explore his dark past.
Things really blow up in this book and get very intense. I was on edge for much of the time… Not only was there the desperation and love between Sam and Grace, but there was also murder, secrets revealed, parental issues, and more. There was so much tension that lets just say I didn't want to get out of my car to go to work…
I cannot express how great the voice-acting is in this audiobook…. All of the narrators were cast to perfection. I honestly cannot imagine a better team. Even if you are not interested in this series, this audiobook exemplifies excellent voice-acting. I cannot wait to see what else comes from this narration team in the future! Linger is an unstoppable force with its top of the line narration and beautiful love story.

Something old, Something new...
This book was up and down for me. I found the beginning slow, particularly because Shiver could have ended right where it did. I found myself thinking that this was angst just for the sake of angst and the characters have already been through this. The rest of the book picked up and held a great pace, but again, at the end, I thought they ended up right where Shiver started pretty much. Granted, it's a twist, but it's sort of the same story.
The reason I gave it three stars is because after the beginning it did hold my interest and I'm curious to see what happens in "Forever", but the story had a lot of repetitiveness to "Shiver".
Narration: I noticed right away that "Cole's" voice was narrated by the same person who narrates "Adam" in "Where she went"...and they both play rock stars. Funny.
Sam and Grace were definitely the best voices, followed by Cole and then Isabelle. It was very clear when Sam and Grace were narrating each other's parts. But, when Cole or Isabelle tried to narrate someone else's part, it was hard to distinguish voices. In particular, though, I found Grace's narration of Isabelle to be the most different from Isabelle's actual voice. Grace's interpretation sounded like a valley girl (which is what I pictured) and Isabelle's actual voice sounded like someone from Munchkinland in the Wizard of Oz.

Good read!
You must read Shiver first or you will be slightly lost. I love books with multiple narrators. Sam's was way better than the older guy voice in Shiver. The end was unexpected but I really enjoyed it.

Super Sequel
What a wonderful sequel! It continues the story of Sam and Grace, but also introduces new characters and expands upon supporting characters from the first book in the trilogy, Shiver.
The writing seems a little darker in this book, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger listeners, but it does reflect the general theme of Linger, growing up and maturing.
I can't believe that a book which concerns werewolves and a rock star seems so real and immediate, but not far fetched! This can only be due to the quality of the writing, but also the quality of the narration, which is again faultless.
I cannot wait for the final book in the trilogy - Forever - due later this year - if it continues with the same quality it will be superb.

The creation off a book where your so engaged in it can't be mistaken , brilliant a must listen audio

Americans woke up Wednesday to a significantly changed country. No, it was not because we elected an African-American president. We did that four years ago. On the other hand, it was not a status quo election either. Yes, maybe the Senate and presidency is still Democratic and the House is still Republican with a strong tea party contingent. But something has changed.
Mitt Romney received 60 percent of the white male vote and lost the election. More young people voted than in 2008. Recreational marijuana usage was passed in two states. Latinos made up an increasing share of the electorate and made the difference in the presidential race. Gay marriage referenda were approved in three states. The first openly lesbian senator was elected to Congress. Catholics paid little attention to their bishops, with 50 percent of Catholics voting to re-elect President Barack Obama.
Key to these results is that the demographics of the country are changing, and there is no turning back. Obama won among women, African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and young people. That's quite a coalition. Republicans have a problem in that their coalition is shrinking and they have not done anything to expand it. The percentage of minority voters is continuing to grow. A new generation of voters is not motivated by arguments over same-sex marriage or other wedge issues. In 2004, Republicans were able to use the gay marriage issue to help re-elect George W. Bush. Eight years later, the same issue proved to be a motivator to bring out more voters for Obama. Now that's real change.
Without overstating the case, it is clear that today's Republican Party cannot continue on the path it is currently pursuing. These demographic changes are real and permanent. Republicans can continue bashing immigrants, demanding strict adherence to rigid positions on social issues, and catering to the most extreme elements of their party. This strategy can continue to serve them well in primary campaigns, and in gerrymandered congressional districts. It cannot however, appeal to the general electorate.
What is true for Republicans is also true for those Catholic bishops who threw in their lot with the Republican Party and a number of right-wing Christian groups. This group of American bishops has been so busy trying to overturn the work of the Second Vatican Council that they have failed in their pastoral duties. We have heard from too many bishops how Catholics are going to hell if they vote for Obama or support same-sex marriage legislation. Check the Faithful America website for more information on the pronouncements of certain bishops.
They have distorted the notion of religious liberty to foster their own agenda. They have also distorted the notion of episcopal leadership. Somehow they have assumed they had carte blanche to compel their sheep to blind obedience.
The bishops need to start listening to their people and trying to understand what is actually going on in the real world. As they sit in their comfortable residences and dust off their weighty volumes of Thomas Aquinas, they risk devolving into complete irrelevance. A first step would be to quit picking unnecessary fights in the public forum. They won appropriate concessions on contraception from the Obama administration and chose to continue attacking the administration, accusing it of denying them their religious freedom. Americans actually understand what freedom of religion means in our country and did not buy the bishops' argument. The bishops also misunderstood the same-sex marriage issue making it into a religious issue instead of a civil rights issue. Yet the people saw the issue as one of fairness and realized it didn't impact their exercise of religion at all.
The election presents real challenges for Republicans and this cadre of bishops who believe that the Middle Ages were the golden age of Catholicism. The first step for Republicans is to come to terms with the re-election of President Barack Obama and work cooperatively on resolving issues like the fiscal cliff. They need to come up with a fair budget deal. It is time to discard the offensive tax pledge promoted by the ubiquitous Grover Norquist and come to grips with the real issues and challenges that face our nation. The passage of a fair and comprehensive immigration bill would also go a long way to rehabilitate Republican legislators.
As for the church, it needs to reach out to the world and make a genuine attempt to understand it. It needs to determine an appropriate way to position itself to be a meaningful contributor to this larger society. The conservative bishops need to move away from their empty threats and adopt the stance of the Jesus of the Gospels who came to serve. Invite the laity in, recognize that we have skills and knowledge lacking in the episcopacy, and understand that working together we can build a better church for a new generation of Catholics seeking to live their faith in a bold new way.

NEW YORK (AP) Ichiro Suzuki and the New York Yankees are closing in on a contract that would guarantee the outfielder between $12 million and $13 million.
A person familiar with the negotiations, speaking on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing, said Thursday the agreement likely would be for a two-year deal.
Acquired from the Seattle Mariners on July 23, the 39-year-old Suzuki revived his career in New York. He batted .261 with four homers, 28 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 95 games with the Mariners, then hit .322 with five homers, 27 RBIs and 14 steals in 67 games for the Yankees to help them win the AL East.
A 10-time All-Star, Suzuki has 2,606 hits in 12 major league seasons.
New York also planned to finalize a $12 million, one-year contract on Friday with Kevin Youkilis, who is expected to start at third base during the first half of the season while Alex Rodriguez recovers from hip surgery scheduled for next month.

The New England Revolution honored Scott Madden, Marshfield High School athleticdDirector, as well as Marshfield High School's student athletes as the Hero of the Match during Concussion Awareness Night at the Revs home game on Sept. 2 against Orlando City SC.
Madden, on behalf his school and his high school athletes, was recognized during a pregame ceremony for the school's commitment to raise concussion awareness in his community.
In 2016 Marshfield High School was chosen as ThinkTaylor's #TTpledge school of the year during Concussion Awareness Week for being the most enthusiastic school in Massachusetts to help educate their fellow students about concussion awareness and encouraging not only the rest of their school, but Marshfield's youth athletes involved in the initiative. He and his family had a sideline view of the Revs pregame warmups and enjoyed the game from the Putnam Club.
ThinkTaylor was founded by Taylor Twellman, a star forward for Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, as a resource for education, support, and fundraising to promote positive outcomes from sports-related brain injuries. After battling his own career-ending injury on the field, Twellman and his supporters are working tirelessly to provide athletes and their families with critical information for prevention, and immediate treatment resources in the event of a sports-related brain injury.
The Revs' Hero of the Match program honors a local first responder, member of the armed forces or individual making a difference in the community at each home game during the 2017 season.

Dental Emergency
Many of us never think of the possibility of a dental emergency until it is upon us. One of the most critical aspects when choosing a dentist should be their emergency dentistry policy. Will the dentist be available after hours to answer questions or phone calls or even to open the office? Will my family be prepared in case of a dental emergency? Do we know what number to call or who to contact?
Fortunately, many dentists choose to offer their patients 24/7 access via cell phone to at least give advice or prescribe medicine after hours if not open the office after hours. There are also, many who choose to use an answering service or not be available at all for an after hours dental emergency.
Most Common Dental Emergency
–Chipped or broken teeth. This dental emergency may or may not be a painful event or it may be only cosmetic depending on the severity of the chip or break. Teeth can fracture or crack in all manner of ways and can create a true dental emergency. Your emergency dentist will be available to relieve pain and also restore your tooth to its natural form and function.
-Knocked-Out Tooth (also called a tooth avulsion). This occurs from direct trauma. Timing is everything! The key here is to re-implant the tooth as soon as possible to give it the best chance for success over the long term. If it hasn't fallen out completely, try pushing it immediately back in, your dentist can do any necessary tweaking. Retrieve the tooth, hold it by the crown or head (the part that is usually exposed in the mouth), do not touch the root. Rinse off the tooth root with water if it's dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, try to put the tooth back in place. Make sure it's facing the right way. Never force it into the socket. If it's not possible to reinsert the tooth in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk (or cup of water that contains a pinch of table salt, if milk is not available) or a product containing cell growth medium, such as Save-a-Tooth. Leave the rest to your emergency dentist.
-Toothaches/Infection. This can happen when tooth decay invades the nerve of the tooth, trauma causes the tooth to die, or periodontal disease is left untreated. The bacteria in the mouth invade the tooth and surrounding bone. This causes the body to respond, which leads to the swelling, pain, and infection. If left untreated this can be a life threatening situation. Call your dentist immediately for this dental emergency.
-Objects caught between teeth. This dental emergency may seem minor but it can be quite uncomfortable and scary. A dentist has the proper tools to remove any and all foreign objects in between teeth.
-Lost Dental Restoration. This dental emergency usually occurs when there is tooth decay present in or around the restoration. The bond between dental material and the tooth will break down causing the restoration to break loose. Depending on how large the restoration is this can cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort.
-Broken Braces And Wires. This may seem like a minor dental emergency but a broken bracket or wire can be very uncomfortable and can even cause trauma to the oral tissues. Contact your dentist for advice in your particular situation.
Dental Emergency Conclusion
A dental emergency is an issue that involves the teeth and any oral tissues tissues that is of high importance to be treated by the relevant professional. All dental emergencies should be treated under the supervision or guidance of a dental health professional in order to preserve the teeth for as long as possible.
An emergency dentist that is available 24/7 is an important asset to have for you and your family. You never know when a dental emergency will arise and don't you want the peace of mind to know your family is protected? Not all dentists make themselves available after hours for a dental emergency so it is important to ask your dentist if they will come to your rescue in the event of a dental emergency.

The Alice games, based on a twisted interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale, are normally bleak affairs, full of black skies and fireballs. So what the hell is up with all this blue sky?
There should be death! And destruction! And girls with sad looks on their faces! And… oh. OK. It's just setting the scene. Well, carry on then!
Alice: Madness Returns is the sequel to cult fave American McGee's Alice, which was released all the way back in the year 2000. It'll be out towards the end of 2011 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
Many aspects of cancer treatment or preventive care can impact how we view ourselves, our desire, and our ability to engage in intimate relationships. Mastectomy with or without reconstruction may change our body shape, sensation of being touched, and our self-image. Similarly, some treatments for cancer may cause hair loss, fatigue, nauseau, and may also cause menopause, or menopause-like symptoms. Treatment-induced menopause, whether from chemotherapy, hormonal treatment, or oophorectomy can have a significant impact on sexuality and intimacy. This kind of abrupt menopause often affects arousal, desire, and the ability to achieve orgasm. Vaginal dryness can be a common and frustrating side effect that can affect intercourse.
On top of these physical effects, emotional issues associated with hereditary cancer can put additional stress on relationships. Even with these challenges, many couples make it through the hereditary cancer journey closer than they were before. Facing these issues may require some research and effort.
Issues of intimacy and sexuality are gaining more attention from the medical community and more research is being done to better address them. It is important to discuss your concerns with your health care team. Fortunately there are some excellent strategies and products available to help manage side effects. Sometimes medications can be changed or adjusted to improve libido. Health care providers trained in couples counseling, intimacy or sexuality may help you and your partner work through some of these challenges. Some cancer centers now have departments and specialists that focus on long-term quality-of-life issues including intimacy and sexual health.

My Current Thoughts About Where Prices Are Headed
As far as short-term, who knows. Every major reporting agency out there simply gives us some poor excuse for a guess, not dare stepping too far away from the "mother ship" (the USDA). I get so tired of these people never taking a stance. As you very well know, the USDA could pull anything out of their deck of cards, but from my perspective, I see almost no possible way corn yields can end up higher than 151 bushels per acre. Will the USDA make the necessary cuts in this report or in the January report...who knows. I think we are going to be significantly lower in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and several other states. In fact I might even go as far as to say that the only two states with higher yields this year will be Wisconsin and North Dakota. Considering the USDA had used more than 90% of their test-plot data in the October report I have to believe their will be more emphasis on farmer surveys. I continue to believe these farmer surveys will be lower than the USDA had originally anticipated. If it were me, I would make a cut to 151 or 152 this month and then drop it even further, possibly even below 150 in January. Unfortunately they did not ask me for any help this time around. Another thing they didn't ask me for was my opinion about China. I personally think China has the USDA so far off base with their corn estimates it is almost scary. I don't know what kind of deals our politicians have cut with China behind the scenes, or what promises were made for continuing to buy US debt, but something strange is obviously happening here. Maybe in exchange for them buying all of our government debt we agreed to help them try and keep a lid on commodity prices. None of it makes much sense to me. First off they want us to believe that Chinese Corn stocks are at or around 60 million tons. This is a joke, right...We know for a fact that China released some where in the ball park of 20 million tons of corn this past year from their reserves in order to help reduce demand, and to keep prices from rallying higher. That didn't even phase this market, we are now at over $8.60 per bushel in China and heading higher. If they actually had tons of corn don't you think more would have been released and prices would justify. I think they are getting in big trouble, and maybe I am just one of the only guys willing stand up and say it. In fact from very reliable sources I am hearing they could be down to 15 million tons or less in their current reserves. The numbers just don't jive. You have reports of soymeal demand in China growing by about 8 million tons a year, this has to mean corn for feed is growing by about 12 million tons a year. You also have reports showing us that industrial usage and human consumption is growing by 3-5 million tons per year. If these numbers are even close to correct, we are looking at China increasing their corn usage by more than 15 million tons a year. The USDA has them penciled in for an increase of 4 million tons. Come on...Does the USDA think that China is going to provide them with accurate data or numbers that indicate they are in a serious jam. No, China is much smarter than that. They obviously know if they tip their hand and the USDA or the other sources release the information corn prices will go through the roof. On the flip side, I am also a little nervous that the USDA could be in cahoots with China in the whole game. Why I say this is because I have heard rumors from the floor that there has been huge put selling in corn very similar to strategies the Chinese use in beans down below this market. If you read a little further into this, it tells me that China needs to buy corn in a big bad way. Will the USDA give them the break they need to get it bought...once again who knows, nothing would surprise me. So for now we will continue to play this game. Unfortunately I can not tell you when the cat will finally be let out of the bag, but I am willing to bet by late spring or early summer prices are much higher. Continue to get long, stay long, buy breaks, and do not get overextended.

Be Patient Corn & Wheat Sales Will Be Coming Soon
I know many of you have been concerned about how our total exports for corn and wheat have struggled, like I have mentioned in past reports I truly believe it is only a matter of time before they begin to take off. I had heard from good sources in China that they were very concerned about our ability to logistically fulfill all of their purchase needs therefore they would start the process rolling with bean purchases since it is their most pressing need. They have supplies of corn and wheat that can carry them for some time. Why would they tip their hand to the market that they will need large quantities of corn and wheat before the US is actually in a position to make it happen. Do you realize our ports here in the US have been absolutely slammed trying to accommodate all of the soybean sales. China obviously knew this would be the case, along with other countries therefor corn and wheat purchases have been put on the back burner. If you read into some of the recent reports you will see we are setting new records for shipments. Last week alone I heard we shipped close to 25 million in Corn, 75 million in Soybeans and 23 million in Wheat. This is huge for the US, and very close to the max we can handle. I am told it is the most we have ever shipped. With this in mind you have to believe China is patiently waiting to flush out the soybeans before they move onto buying corn and or wheat. We may have not actually shipped that much corn, but as of late last week we had made commitments to export close to 800 million bushels of corn, one of the largest amounts we have ever committed to at this time of the year. You can't tell me China is flush with Corn as it continues to set new highs now trading at over $8.60 a bushel. Sure they want us to believe they have plenty, but if that were the case why would prices keep pushing higher. For more proof that countries are waiting just look at last week when Egypt backed off buying US wheat even though our prices were lower than those they ended up purchasing from. I heard they were just too concerned that the Gulf ports were too backed up with beans to make it happen. I am telling you now the soybeans exports have temporarily hurt the other two markets, look for this to change as China shifts more interest back to South America.

- Go Binge
Pay Monthly plans with more than 15GB of data also come with Go Binge. That means that using Apple Music, Netflix, Snapchat, Deezer, Soundcloud, Lifetime and TV Player won't use up your data allowance.
Why buy a tablet?
- Portability
Tablets offer you the chance to browse on the move and are much more portable than laptops. They are ultra-thin and weigh a lot less than laptops.
- Ease-of-use
Tablets have larger touch-screen displays (usually between 7 and 11 inches) which makes them much easier to use than smartphones and better for serious productivity. Many users buy them to use at home on their couch while watching TV.
- Multimedia
The larger displays present on tablet devices - compared to smartphones - makes them excellent for watching movies on the go.
- Affordability
Google changed the game when they launched the Nexus 7, which is an Android tablet that launched for under £200. Now a whole range of great value tablets are available, which cost a lot less than a desktop PC or laptop.
Why choose a Pay Monthly tablet?
Buying a tablet on a Pay Monthly contract lowers the amount you have to pay upfront for the device itself and gets you a data allowance to use each month on your new tablet. Tablet contracts are a great way to get your hands on the latest device without having to splash out as much upfront.
Why Choose a Pay As You Go Tablet?
Are you mostly planning to use your tablet in the home on your WiFi network? Then you might want to consider a Pay As You Go tablet which gives you flexibility to buy a top up as and when you need to use data!
What are 3G, 4G and WiFi tablets?
Tablets are in essence like over-sized smartphones and they rose to prominence when Apple launched the Apple iPad. There are many tablets available including the Apple iPad, iPad Mini and a whole host of Android tablets.
Tablets enable you to undertake many of the tasks possible on desktop PCs using a touch-screen display. Many industry experts see tablets as the replacement for laptops and we tend to agree - although, the two could co-exist.
Mobile operators have been keen to take advantage of the tablet revolution and now offer a number of 3G and 4G-enabled tablets on their networks. Tablets are portable devices which makes them perfect for browsing on the move on a 3G network - or even 4G!
Which is the best tablet for me?
The initial thing you need to decide is if you want a WiFi only tablet, or one that supports WiFi, 3G and 4G. WiFi only tablets connect straight to a home WiFi network and are perfect for those mostly planning to use their tablet in the home, while 3G and 4G tablets can be used anywhere you can get a mobile signal and are perfect for those who will be using their tablet out and about.
Of course you can add versatility to a WiFi tablet by also getting a MiFi device, thereby allowing you to get online with it even when there's no WiFi available. If you know you'll want to do this then a 3G or 4G tablet is typically a better choice, but some tablets only come in WiFi configurations.
There is a wide range of tablets available on the market, including Apple iPads, Android tablets and Windows tablets. For help choosing a specific tablet you can check out our comprehensive list of tablet reviews, or our helpful guides looking at the best 10-inch tablet and the best 4G tablets available to buy right now.

FoodRoutes Network, LLC (FRN) provides communications tools, technical support, networking and information resources to organizations nationwide that are working to rebuild local, community-based food systems. FRN is dedicated to reintroducing Americans to their food – the seeds it grows from, the farmers who produce it, and the routes that carry it from the fields to their tables.
Our strategic communications programs include:
- The FoodRoutes Network website
- Buy Fresh Buy Local ® chapter development to support sustainable food and farming systems
- Communications tools–including our Communicator's and Buy Local Tools
- Research and implementation strategies for rebuilding state and local food systems
- Conservancy of our food heritage while working to re-build the ever eroding loss of farms, food processors and food producers in the United States as well as Internationally.
The goal of this Web site is to provide timely information, resources and market opportunities for the food and farming community, community-based nonprofits, the food concerned public, policy makers and the media.
National polling research and message development is generating valuable information on food buyer attitudes and insight into the thinking and opinions of two groups vital to the success of sustainable farming and local food systems: the farmers who produce our food and those who buy it.
FRN works in partnership with community-based organizations across the country to help these groups increase their capacity to design, launch, and implement successful "buy local" food campaigns and market education initiatives. Specifically, this assistance is targeted toward strengthening partner organizations' ability to plan effective campaigns by drawing on innovative message research and communications tools. Evaluation of the effectiveness of these campaigns will provide valuable lessons and tools for other organizations interested in launching similar campaigns.
Another objective of FRN is to communicate with the general public about the "multiple benefits" beyond food production which sustainable agriculture contributes to communities and the environment. FRN is collaborating on "multiple benefits" research and will work with organizations to educate the public about these benefits and develop state and local policies which support sustainable farming systems.

An Encounter With a Red Sox Fan
In my last entry, I wrote about how my friends and I watched the Jets' AFC Title game at a New York City bar on Sunday night. I figured I would save this minor exchange from a weak mind for today.
Even though it was the Jets and we were watching a football game, for some reason everyone I was with was wearing something Yankees. Three of my friends (Dave, Kevin, and Pedro) were wearing Yankee hats while I was wearing my Yankee jacket and fleece.
At any rate, an older man (probably in his early 30s, if you consider that "older") walked into the bar and took his jacket off, only to reveal a 2004 Boston Red Sox shirt.
Not to mention, he oddly resembled Lovie Smith. We weren't positive it was really him, since he was in Chicago that day for the NFC Title game, but then again…considering how the game went for the Bears, you never know.
He was obviously a little inebriated and he approached us. And thus began a little exchange.
"Hey guys!!!!" he yelled, while standing right in front of us, mind you. "You ready for Michael Kay this year?"
We looked at each other, bemused.
He continued.
"I can't wait. At the track, at the wall, Swisher looks up…SEE YA! Another home run for Carl Crawford and the Red Sox lead 7-3!"
We kind of ignored him and just walked away, laughing. We figured at least in his little fantasy game, he gave the Yankees three runs. If he was smart, he would have made it 15-0 Red Sox.
I understand not every Red Sox fan is like this. Believe it or not, there are Red Sox fans out there that I can actually hold intelligent conversations with. However, when this sort of exchange takes place, it makes it really difficult to like them.
Besides, Crawford only hit 19 homers last year. It's not like he led the team in homers (Carlos Pena did with 28) so I am certain he was just bragging about the free agent signing. Which, if the case, makes him a pathetic, drunk loser.

[Our Model Of The Day]
Where She's From: Lakienya F, a Leo, was born and reared in what is colloquially referred to as "da bottom" or sunny Miami, Florida.
Both her parents are from the U.S. Virgin Islands; her dad, from St. John and mom, St. Thomas.
"As a result, I've spent countless summers visiting my grandparents and other extended family," she tells The Black Star News. "The words of my hardworking, never-giving-up mother has stuck with me most. 'Can't is not a word. You can always do whatever it is you put your mind to and remember life and death is in the power of the tongue so what you speak comes to life.'"
Where She's At: Lakienya earned a Bachelors of Business Administration Management from Georgia State in 2004. She modeled briefly beginning in 2002 but it's only now that she has "re-launched" with dedication and focus.
"The only direction is up from where I stand because you can never reach for anything sitting down, right?" she says, when asked about her career plans. "My aspirations include placement in countless major print ads and TV commercials leading to opportunities as an actress. My main goal is to break the height restriction barrier in runway modeling."
Lakienya meditates to ward off any fearful feelings. "I meditate on the words II Timothy 1:7 which read 'God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind.' So with a sound mind and power to move forward, I think like Nike—to 'just do it.'"
She is a strong believer in giving back as is a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Georgia Chapter of Team in Training; she completed the Rock & Roll Half Marathon in San Diego, CA on June 4, 2006. Her team has raised millions of dollars towards cancer research.
"Brainpower is an essential supplement to beauty because you always have to be wise about your business decisions," she cautions others who aspire for a career in entertainment. While beauty, both inside and out, is compulsory in this business; it's brainpower that leads you to success. I could not have said it better than Producer, Brian-Michael Cox, 'It's about making logical decisions not being smart or dumb.'"
So how does this lovely model prepare to step out?
"I wear what makes me feel alive and I wear it like a work of art. I realize that not just as a model, but as a person in general, I am a walking billboard, but marketing costs. So if you have the brand that this 5'8", 115 pound canvas can display as a live work of art, we can talk business."
Lakienya adds: "When it comes to skin care, quality products are essential. Palmer's Cocoa Butter is the only lotion that leaves my sensitive skin feeling moisturized, soft and evenly toned all day long; all year round. On an everyday basis, makeup is minimal on my sensitive skin; I tend to keep it natural. However, when it's time to jazz it up, I find that MAC Cosmetics and Revlon products do just the trick for a stunningly beautiful face. My shoes are generally different that what's seen everyday. When shoe shopping I look for unique style, extra comfort and affordable pricing. A few brands that meet those requirements include Jessica Simpson, Nine West, Steve Madden, Mossimo, Michael Antonio, Nike, Puma, Adidas, and ProKeds."
Lakienya's Words Of Wisdom: "I so firmly believe that greatness is knowing who you are but striving to manifest your divine destiny in life through God."
Lakienya's Secrets To Success: "It's proven fact that hard work, drive, and determination will get you there as long as you never give up. Life's a journey. Develop a plan and do everything in your power to see that plan through
to fruition."
Lakienya's Favorite Three Movies: "Sister Act II, Brown Sugar, Do the Right Thing."
Lakienya's Favorite Three Books: "Purpose Driven Life; a guide to unveiling your destiny in life. Secrets Of An Irresistible Woman, by Cynthia Mckinney; explains the essence of love and relationships. Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe; analyzes human qualities common to all men regardless of time or place."
The Leaders That Have Most Inspired Lakienya: "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks."
The First Three Things Lakienya Would Do As President: "I would more strictly enforce immigration laws; reform tax laws; and, revisit the Preamble to remind government what we declared in our independence and ensure those justices.
Lakienya's Favorite Car: "My one and only favorite car is the BMW. I guess it all started with my father, a race car driving, mechanic and huge fan of Bob Marley and the Wailers. Needless to say, I became a fan as well. As a child I was told that the band only drove BMWs because it ironically coincided with the acronym of the band's name: BMW=Bob Marley and the Wailers…"
Lakienya's Favorite Five Entertainers And Songs: "Lauryn Hill-entire Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill album; Yolanda Adams-Open My Heart; Goapele-Closer; Stevie Wonder-Ribbon in the Sky; John Legend-Each Day Gets Better; Erykah Badu-In Love with You."
Lakienya's Favorite Five Websites: "Tyrabanks.com; Modelmayhem.com; myspace.com; target.com; yahoo.com."

Like I've done throughout the history of WTHHT, I decided to go the extra mile and educate myself on the career of Gene Conley. I was able to do this by purchasing One of a Kind, a biography on Gene's life written by his wife Kathyrn. Maybe it's because I just got done reading books by Harlan Coben or maybe writing isn't her thing, but the book was the worst thing I've ever read, to the point I gave up and began skimming through sections. It provides an incoherent rambling of ideas sowed together by "chapters" detailing their life. "Gene went to the shipyard and then to the ballpark and then to the hotel, and then stopped at church." Kathryn seems like a terrific person but reading this book made me seasick, the way it jumps around. It may have been prudent hiring someone to proofread or edit it or write it for her. She focuses on the most mundane details while babbling about their life.
|The Worst Book Of All Time
By far the most interesting story is while with the Red Sox, Gene and teammate Pumpsie Green (the first black Red Sox player) got off a bus that was just sitting in traffic near the GW Bridge after a lousy weekend playing the Yankess [I've been tempted many times to get out of my car near the GW Bridge and just leave because of traffic]. Gene got up and walked to the front telling Pumpsie on his way that he "had to go" and asked if he wanted to go with. Pumpsie obliged and followed Gene off the bus. After they walked to a place to use the bathroom, they came back and the bus was gone. Undaunted by this, they decided to go to a bar. After drinking his face off, Gene told Pumpsie he was going to Jerusalem. Pumpsie, knowing he'd be facing a fine decided to fly back to Washington to meet his Red Sox teammates. Gene continued to get sloshed at multiple bars and then ordered the ticket to Jerusalem. When he arrived at the gate, the word had gotten out to several reporters. However Gene didn't have a passport and wasn't able to board the flight, so he went and stayed at the Waldorff Astoria, the super expensive hotel near Grand Central Station in Manhattan. When he woke then next day, he saw headlines in the paper of "Conley being AWOL." They had checked with his parents back in Washington who hadn't heard from him and some were beginning to think he was suicidal. But Gene never left, and finally came back to the Red Sox, first with the intention of retiring since he had embarrassed himself and his team. Eventually the Red Sox agreed to fine him $2,000 (in addition to the 4 days he wasn't paid for missing) and he returned.
|Gene and his son, Gene Jr.
Reading this book made Zaid Abdul Aziz's story seem like he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. If Clif (not Robinson) of "Clif's Notes" ever wants to make a version of this book, I'd recommend reading it. Otherwise, avoid it all costs.
|Gene & Bill Russell and Bill's son, Buddha. WTHHT Buddha Russell?
Prior to retiring Conley and his wife ran their own business for 35 years in Foxboro, Massachusetts called the Foxboro Paper Company (I didn't know paper companies really existed, other than Dundler-Mifflin).
"I was the CEO and she was the President," said Conley. "We had a couple of people help out, but it was what you called a low overhead business. We made it work real well for 35 years."
Gene and Kathryn lived in Orlando up until 2009, but have since moved to Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
Gene will always be remembered for his ability to play two sports for as long as he did. I just wish reading about it could've been more enjoyable than it was.

East Asian Studies
Professors Kemper (Anthropology), Hirai (History), J. Strong (Religion), Grafflin (History), Yang (Chinese) and S. Strong (Japanese); Associate Professors Maurer-Fazio (Economics) and Shankar (English); Assistant Professors Wender (Japanese), Nguyen (Art and Visual Culture), and Nelson (Political Science); Lecturers Miao (Chinese), Ofuji (Japanese); and Sengupta (Asian Studies)
Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to acquaint students with the cultures, economies, histories, politics, arts, languages, literatures, and religions of Asian societies. The program offers a major in East Asian studies and a secondary concentration in Asian studies (see below). Students majoring in East Asian studies may also pursue a secondary concentration in Chinese or Japanese. Double majors in East Asian studies and either Chinese or Japanese are allowed only if there is no overlap in language courses. Students interested in majoring exclusively in Chinese or Japanese should consult the descriptions of those majors in this catalog under the Department of German, Russian, and East Asian Languages and Literatures. More information on Asian studies is available on the Web site (www.bates.edu/ASIA.xml).
Majors in East Asian studies, Chinese, or Japanese may count no more than two courses (or units) as fulfilling requirements toward both the Asian studies secondary concentration and their major.
Cross-listed CoursesNote that unless otherwise specified, when a department/program references a course or unit in the department/program, it includes courses and units cross-listed with the department/program.
Major RequirementsThe East Asian studies major has the following requirements:
1) At least two years (four courses) of Chinese or Japanese language. Two courses of this four-course requirement may be waived for students who prove proficiency in the language in tests approved by the program. Students who obtain such a waiver must fulfill their major requirement by taking two non-language courses to substitute for the waived language courses.
2) HIST 171 or 172.
3) Two courses from two of the following four groups:
a) CHI 207 or AS/JA 125;
b) AS/EC 229 or 231;
c) AS/RE 208 or 209;
d) AV/AS 246 or 247.
4) Three more courses (or two courses and one unit) from the list of courses in East Asian studies. At most one of these courses may be a language course.
5) A senior thesis normally written under the direction of a faculty advisor in East Asian studies with one course of appropriate preparatory work to be determined in consultation with the advisor. Honors candidates must complete Asian Studies 457 and 458 and sustain an oral defense of their thesis.
6) Distribution requirements: In fulfilling their major requirements, students must make sure that they take at least one course dealing primarily with China and one dealing primarily with Japan. Students are urged to take at least one course dealing with premodern culture (China or Japan) and one course dealing with the modern period (China or Japan).
7) It is recommended that East Asian studies majors spend their junior year or at least one semester at a College-approved program in Taiwan, mainland China, or Japan. Majors interested in Japan are advised, though not required, to spend their junior year at the Associated Kyoto Program (AKP).
Students may petition the program to have courses taken during their study-abroad program applied toward the fulfillment of major requirements 1-4. The program normally approves a maximum of two language courses and two non-language courses toward this end.
Pass/Fail Grading OptionPass/fail grading may not be elected for courses applied toward the major in East Asian studies.
Secondary Concentration in Asian StudiesStudents may complete a secondary concentration in Asian studies by choosing six courses from the list of courses and units in Asian studies. A coherent program for each student's secondary concentration is designed in accord with program guidelines and in consultation with an Asian studies faculty member who is chosen or appointed by the Asian studies chair. Among the six courses, at least four courses should be related in a coherent group. Examples might include a group of courses related to Buddhist studies, South Asia, gender issues, environmental issues, a specific historical period, or the socioeconomic conditions or political situation of a particular region.
The secondary concentration may include one Short Term unit. With the approval of the secondary concentration advisor, students may count up to two courses taken on study-abroad programs towards their secondary concentration. Students may count at most two language courses.
Pass/Fail Grading OptionPass/fail grading may not be elected for courses applied toward the secondary concentration in Asian studies.

They are one of the competitors. I think there are going to be a bunch of competitors. The competition is going to come from two sources: one is we are not the only ones seeing this change happening. So you are increasingly hearing IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, all talking the Big Data talk. So they are going to try to evolve in that direction. How successful they will be history will show. But there are going to be new entrants as well.
Those new entrants some of them will be service based like Amazon. Others will be software based like Cloudera and Hortonworks and others. And there are many more. The VC community senses the continents shifting here so they are buying lottery tickets like crazy.

Aerospace/Defense/Homeland Security
At the UA, our scientists are dedicated to protecting the United States. Research endeavors that focus on homeland security, defense, and aerospace permeate all corners of the institution, ensuring that we meet the strategic needs of our country. Technological innovation and research in cyber security, anti-terrorism, and aerospace and space engineering solidify the UA's leadership and commitment to solving vital problems on behalf of our citizens.
Core Competencies:
- Cyber Security
- Anti-terrorism Systems
- Fluid Dynamics
- Aerodynamics
- Energy and Fuel Efficiency
- New Materials
- Modeling and Simulation
- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning
- Computational Linguistics
Cutting-edge aerospace research is conducted at the University of Arizona, primarily in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. nineteen research laboratories focus on such vital topics as fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, energy and fuel cell efficiency, mechanical characterization of materials, and space engineering. The department also oversees the Rocket Laboratory which develops propellants for space. Current research delves into hybrids, safe oxidizers, and environmentally benign exhaust products. This lab, among others in the department, is often utilized by industry partners such as Raytheon Missile Systems. UA researchers also pursue interdisciplinary projects that seek to apply aerospace innovations to biomedical engineering endeavors.
In the Eller College's top-ranked Department of Management Information Systems, faculty and students conduct research in artificial intelligence (AI) supported by grants from such large organizations as the US Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency. Their research in adaptation and development of scalable and practical artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical analysis, computational linguistics, and visualization techniques have generated commercial products used by law enforcement agencies. The COPLINK System is one example. Dubbed "google for cops", this software program provides cross-jurisdictional information sharing, analysis, visualization and research for the law enforcement and intelligence community for border and national security.
UA researchers are also using their knowledge of AI to combat terrorism. The UA Dark Web Project is a scientific program designed to study and understand international terrorism phenomena via a computational, data-centric approach. In addition, MIS professors developed the Terrorism Knowledge Portal, a search engine specifically for terrorism research.

I'm BACK!!! I know I abandoned ship (aka this blog) the whole summer, truthfully I just wanted to "YOLO" it up this summer. Yea I'm kind of getting tired of that phrase too but it's just how I decided to make goals for the summer; including discovering new places, going on mini weekend vacations to other states, taking K-pop dance lessons and going to a concert. Speaking of going to a concert, I went to the 2NE1 concert a couple weeks ago in New Jersey and while it was quite dramatic just getting to Jersey for the concert, it all ended up being quite worth it and one of my best summer memories :D
OOTN: Thrifted denim top, H&M Pants and Earrings, Rebecca Minkoff MAC purse, F21 Necklace and Aerosoles sandals (aka I had to sacrifice the heals when we sacrificed the car for the Path train -_-)
My favorite 2NE1 girl would have to be Bommie! She looks like an Asian Barbie doll with her porcelain skin and perfect ginger curls and also she's a bit ditzy like me (the song finished and everyone was going backstage but she was still dancing on stage until she realized she was the only one on the stage. She dashed backstage a gave us a big heart sign with her arms! She's so funny, gotta love her!
Check out my Vlog of our K-pop concert adventure on Youtube:
2NE1 is the best! Do you love K-pop? If so who's your favorite group?
I can't wait to see Big Bang in November!!!!!

Forget Freedom. The UK Poll Is All About 'Fairness'
Britain may have given the world freedom as we understand it (see The Liberty of Ancients Compared with that of Moderns by Benjamin Constant), but you would not know it from the last prime ministerial debate that took place last Thursday. The candidates (Conservative David Cameron, Labour's Gordon Brown and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg) used the word "freedom" only 2 times. They said the word "free" 5 times, but all in the context of the supposedly "free" goodies, which they promised to lavish on the electorate. Words "responsible" and "responsibility" fared somewhat better (4 times). But the winning words were "fair" and "fairness" that were mentioned 22 times — almost always in connection with taxing the rich. Here is a typical example:
Brown: "But I come back to the central question about fairness that has been raised by our questioner. How can David [Cameron] possibly justify an inheritance tax cut for millionaires at a time when he wants to cut Child Tax Credits? Let's be honest. The inheritance tax threshold for couples is £650,000, if your house is worth less than that you pay no inheritance tax. What David [Cameron] is doing is giving 3,000 people, the richest people in the country, he's going to give them £200,000 each a year. That is simply unfair."
It was Gordon Brown, the current Prime Minister, who increased the top rate of income tax to 50%. Neither Clegg nor the supposedly business‐friendly Cameron have proposed to cut that rate. Indeed, "fairness" in British politics seems to amount to little more than taxing the most productive members of society "until the pipes squeak." Those words were uttered by Denis Healy who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1970s. It was under his leadership that the UK ran out of money and had to borrow billions from the IMF. It turns out that when you tax the rich too much, they will work less or leave for a more hospitable jurisdiction. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan understood it. Messrs Cameron, Clegg and Brown do not.

Kirtland Community College Admissions Stats
Undergrad Application Fee
|AP Acceptance:
|Credit for Life Experience:
Many colleges put a great deal of weight on student ACT/SAT test scores when considering applications. College Greenlight can help you see how you rank compared to students who have been accepted to Kirtland Community College
|10775 N Saint Helen Road Roscommon, MI 48653
|(989) 275-5000
|General Site:
Investigate Kirtland's online courses. They are wonderfully convenient, and they're just as good as in-person classes, if you have good time-management, self-discipline, and organization skills. Plus they can help you save money on gas, wear on your car, and time on your commute. I've taken six online classes here, and I actually prefer them, since they're so much easier to fit into my schedule.Read More
Get involved! While KCC doesn't have any official student groups the way that 4-year colleges typically do, they still have a Phi Theta Kappa chapter, a Student Senate, and participates in the Alternative Breaks program (where a group of students goes to a different place and volunteers with nonprofit organizations during a school break). Aside from academic stuff, they also have Frisbee golf, an annual staff vs. students softball game, and more. Turn your assignments in on time! Sounds like duh advice, but you would not believe how many students do not do this. As an example, I have taken online classes that had a forum component. Students had to make an initial post on the given topic by Wednesday, and then make two replies by Sunday for each week. In a class of 30 students, about 6 consistently made their forum posts on time. The instructors WILL mark you down for turning things in late, and for a good reason! Also, many students want to go here to save money over a 4-year college. Good reason; however, make sure you also factor travel costs (gas) into your expenses for attending here. Main campus is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, and depending on your class schedule and where you live, you could rack up quite a bit of gas money.Read More
If you don't want to spend a lot of money on transportation to college either take online courses or live on campus.Read More
1. It's okay not to know what you want. The Basics classes will help you 2. Teachers really do want you to succeed 3. Advisers have been in your shoes, so don't worry 4. FILL OUT YOUR FAFSA ASAP!Read More
Always make sure to ask a lot of questions. No question is a dumb one when it comes to doing good in school and achieving your degree. Make sure to take free tutoring if its offered! Tutoring helps many students in doing good in their classes. If a free writing center is available take advantage of it. They are there to help you be successful in writing college papers, which are an important part of learning in college. Be involved on campus. It does not matter if you go to a community college or a university. Being involved on campus whether it be a sport, club, volunteering, etc makes your have a well rounded students, looks good on a resume and shapes you better as a person. And most importantly study! Take the time to truly study or else you will not succeed in college.Read More
