A book with bite and "a gem of a heroine"— third in the series from the author of Dead Sexy.
It's been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican witch hunters finally think she's dead, the FBI has closed their file on her, she's co-founding a new coven—and the gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry him. How lucky can one girl get?
Then, her fiancé goes missing and Garnet's worried sick. Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the help of her future stepson—the same brat who turned her over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But there's more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And on top of that, some killer's on her tail...

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One:
The masculine principle, husband, or men in general
Could I really see myself married to a . . . vampire?
The diamond ring on my finger sparkled in the early morning light. My bicycle nearly ended up in the ditch more than once as my eyes kept straying to the golden band. Married? Me?
It wasn't that I didn't love Sebastian. It had been easy to say yes, and I'd meant it. But, Sebastian was a vampire, and, well, neither of our lives was terribly conducive to marriage. I had a tendency to pick up and run in the middle of the night, although usually that was because I was being chased by Vatican assassins or the FBI or Voodoo Queens or because the Goddess I harbored in my belly had gone all destructo-wacko on somebody.
Things had been calm for a few months now. In fact, I'd started negotiations with the owner of the occult bookstore I manage, Mercury Crossing, to buy him out with whatever loans and spare change I could patch together. I guess that must have gotten Sebastian thinking about settling. Settling!
Did I mention he's a vampire?
My mind continued to try to wrap itself around the idea of the white dress when some kind of wild dog jumped out of the ditch. Okay, actually, it was just sitting there on the side of the road, munching on the road-killed remains of Bambi's mom, but seeing it made me nearly fall off the seat of my bike.
At first I thought it had to be a wolf, except the animal was too mangy and too leggy. As it hunched over the deer carcass, its chin dripped with blood. Our eyes met and I had that freakish feeling of a keen intelligence behind the glittering alien, inhuman gaze.
So I did what any Witch who harbored the dark Goddess Lilith within her would do; I shrieked like a girl.
"Argh! Go away, you big scary thing! Run! Scat!" I pedaled like a maniac, waved my arms, and tried to think bigger, threatening animal thoughts, instead of I-could-totally-be-eaten ones.
The wolf, or whatever it was, cocked its head at me as though it thought I was the biggest dork in central Wisconsin. Then it padded into the cornfield.
At least my close encounter with the wild kingdom got me thinking about something other than Sebastian for at two or three minutes. But once my heart rate had settled to normal, it shot back up again.
Are there wolves in Wisconsin? Maybe, but was I really ready for marriage?
The sun beat down on the concrete mercilessly, and it wasn't even eight a.m. yet. Sweat slicked my arms and my legs. Hopping off my bike, I leaned it against the cast-iron fencing around a scrub oak, not bothering to lock it.
I'm sure there are plenty of bike thieves in Madison, Wisconsin, but State Street, where my bookstore Mercury Crossing is located, has a kind of hippy sensibility. I'd actually had my bike stolen once . . . and returned. I only knew it had been taken because the lock was broken and very carefully replaced.
Having my bike "borrowed" was one of the reasons I loved Madison. That and the fact that no one even gave me more than a cursory glance in my bright bloodred mini and black, sparkling halter top. I wore spiderweb tights and black Converse high-tops. My hair was a mess of short, dyed-black spikes. I passed a guy in a suit, maybe even a politician, on his way up to the capitol building, and he gave me "the nod" of stranger-small-town greeting.
I loved this town.
Could I see myself living here as a married woman? I chewed on my lip. I'd think about that later. Right now I had a shop to run.
"Hey," William said with a bright smile. "Raise your right hand!"
I slowly raised my hand, confused. I'd been shelving the discounted remaindered Wiccan books in the used section when William bounded up.
William had been my friend since I started work at Mercury Crossing. He'd recovered nicely from having been possessed by his former girlfriend, the Voodoo Queen. You'd think William might have considered giving up on his constant search for "true" religion, given that several of the ones he'd found jumped up and bit him in the butt. But, like our friendship, William was remarkably resilient. In fact, our friendship hardly faltered despite the fact that he had tried to kill me; and William went on to try an on-line UFO cult the very next day.
Speaking of which, I couldn't tell what religion William was into today; he looked fairly normal. His mouse-brown hair hung in lanky curls to his shoulders and his round John Lennon glasses perched on the end of his nose. He wore a basic brown shirt, slacks . . . I noticed the red string on his wrist. Aha! Kabala!
"Oh," William said after studying my upraised palm for a moment. "You've got your right-hand ring on the wrong finger."
"My what?"
"Right-hand ring?" William sounded less sure. "I've seen the ads in the New York Times Magazine. You know, treat yourself to a ring instead of waiting for a man. Oh." I watched the realization slowly dawn in William's eyes. "But, you've got a . . . well, a significant other of male variety, er, species, or former human, or ex-human. Uhm."
I thought I'd better put him out of his misery. "Yes, Sebastian asked me to marry him."
"And you said yes? Are you insane?"
It was a question I'd been asking myself. But, before I could reply, he went on. "It's going to be all Highlander, Blossom. Think about it, in a dozen years it's going to start looking like Ashton Kutchner and Demi Moore around your place. After that? Hello, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Well, except gender reversed. You know what I mean. Anyway, yikes! When you're eighty, people are going to think he's your grandson. How awkward is that going to be?"
I should never have gotten William a subscription to In Touch for his birthday, yet I had to concede that he brought up a rather salient point. If Sebastian never aged and I did, how would we explain our apparent age difference to other people? Then, there was all the physical stuff. I'd have the advantage of always having a hot, young body next to me in bed, but Sebastian, wellÉ
I shook my head; I didn't want to consider fifty-six years from now when we hadn't even set a date for the wedding yet. "We'll cross that bridge and all that," I said to William, who was still clucking his tongue at me.
"Yeah, sure," he said, unconvinced.
"Anyway, didn't that dude in Highlander love his wife forever, even when she was a hundred years old?"
William frowned as though trying to remember. He sounded disappointed to have to admit, "Yeah, I guess he did." He tapped a finger against his cheek a few time, then pointed it at me. "What about the ghouls? Are they going to be bridesmaids?"
"Come on, that's hardly fair," I said sharply. "Now you're just looking for reason not to be happy for me, William." Truth of the matter was that I sincerelydidn't want to think about the ghouls right now. The whole needing-other-people-for-sustenance thing was an issue Sebastian and I had yet to tackle.
"Sorry," William said curtly. "Congratulations."
I opened my mouth to say something, anything, to break the increasingly awkward silence, when he said, "Oh, and that lady from Bear Claw Press is here."
His abrupt switch of subject startled a laugh out of me. Pretty soon William smiled too. I flashed him a fond look as I made my way to the counter where the publisher's rep waited. What did I say? Resilient. William and I were cool again.
I spent the rest of the morning listening to pitches about the newest books on aromatherapy, holistic living, and acupuncture for your pets.
The afternoon was so slow that I let William go home early. Then, wouldn't you know it? About a half hour to close everyone and their dog decided today was the day to buy candles, tarot decks, and smudge sticks. I was ringing up items and answering phone calls, while trying to direct people where to find the section on Rolfing.
In the middle of all this chaos, a woman came up to the counter and introduced herself as Marge. Marge had a broad, smiling face, long graying curls, and a loud Hawaiian shirt on. "I saw your poster about the open audition for the coven."
I'd warded the poster so that only people with magical talent could read it. I squinted at Marge, giving her my aura test. She had an earthy green aura, held tightly against her body, but very strong. I'd guess she was a green Witch or a kitchen Witch with that kind of energy. There was something else that caught my magical eye momentarily. A bright glow emanated from a dog-shaped charm that hung around her neck on a silver chain.
I was about to ask Marge about the necklace when business interrupted. A long line of customers formed behind Marge. "Are you buying anything?" I asked her. She smiled and shook her head.
I expected that she'd move to the side, but she didn't. Thus, I had to reach around Marge to take an amber necklace a customer offered. Marge, meanwhile, seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was blocking the flow of paying customers. "I'm looking forward to the meeting tonight," Marge said.
"Uhm, oh yeah, me too," I said, suddenly remembering I had been hoping to slip out early myself to go grab munchies and lemonade for the meeting tonight. Sebastian and I had decided it was time to start our own coven. It was a big step for me, committing again.
My last coven had been murdered by the Order of Eustace, a rogue paramilitary organization bent on destroying practitioners of true magic, who take very literally the line in Exodus about not suffering a Witch to live. I'd only survived because I was late to the meeting, and because I had the presence of mind to call the Goddess Lilith into me when the agents attacked. The whole event left me scarred, both mentally and physically. My eyes changed color that night in Minneapolis, and so did my whole world. I hadn't dared form a coven since.
But I'd put a lot of demons to rest since then. The order wouldn't be bothering to look for me any more. Thanks to a powerful spell that commingled my blood and Sebastian's, their agents think I'm dead.
My name had even been cleared with the FBI, which had been led to my doorstep by following an investigation into the death of the Vatican agents Lilith killed in Minnesota. Parrish, my vampire ex-lover, had taken the fall for me, actually. In fact, Parrish sacrificed his life-or unlife, given that he's also a vampire-so the case could be closed.
I wondered where he was and if he was okay.
A customer standing behind Marge cleared his throat noisily. "Oh, sorry. Miles away," I muttered as I rang up the customer, took his money and made change-all the while maneuvering around the immovable Marge. "Do you need directions or something?" I asked her.
"No." She rocked back on her heels, smiling. "Nice wind chimes."
I glanced over my head at the crystal chimes hanging on hooks from the ceiling. We had all sorts. There were jade beads strung with gold chain for prosperity; heavy, wire-wrapped amethyst crystals supported by silver wire for psychic clarity; and jangly glass bells that, well, just annoyed me. "Did you want to buy one?"
"No, just admiring them."
I gave the next person in line an I'm-sorry-about-this-oddball-standing-in-your-way smile. She pursed her lips into a thin, disapproving line and glared at Marge. For a second, I thought she might give Marge a shove, but instead she thrust the book around her with an exaggerated sigh.
Glancing at the title, I suppressed a snarky smirk and explained to the lady that it would cost her $24.99 plus tax to find Inner Peace: The Tibetan Way.
Marge said, without preamble, "My grandmother was a Witch."
"Really?" I murmured politely.
"Yes," Marge said, apparently feeling emboldened by the merest hint of interest. "I'm FamTrad."
FamTrad was short for Family Tradition, which meant that she was a hereditary Witch and may have come from a long line of women who secretly kept the Old Religion alive after the Inquisition, or Burning Times. I had no problem with the first claim, but the second always raised my eyebrows a little. There is a lot of contention in the witchy community about the origin of our religion and whether it was made up in the twentieth century or if it has been practiced as is since some prehistoric matriarchy. I'd be happy with either answer, honestly, because it's my firm belief that all religions were made up at one time or another and just because something is new doesn't make it any less real or true.
I had no doubts that the power itself was old. I had Lilith in my belly, after all. It didn't matter to me, however, if She came to me because there was an unbroken method of practice since time immemorial or if the first modern Witch just happened to stumble on the key through meditation and good fortune. For me, what mattered was that it was real. It worked.
However, that breezy attitude can get me in a lot of trouble with hard-liners. So I just smiled and nodded at Marge.
Another customer frowned at Marge's back. This one must have been from out of town, because, without the customary midwestern hesitation, he actually said, "I've got a lot of stuff here, lady, can you move out of the way?"
Marge startled and took a step to one side. She mumbled an apology and gave me a sheepish look. I smiled kindly back. I knew she didn't mean any harm. Marge just seemed like one of those oblivious people who never seem to get the hint that it's time to go. I was about to be blunt with her about it, when she said, "I think in my past life I was Mata Hari."
It wasn't that I discounted the idea of past lives. I was more than certain that, like perennials in the spring, souls passed this way again. However, a little red flag always went up when people mentioned having lived the life of a famous, or infamous, person. The majority of us weren't kings or queens. If souls did recycle, then a vast percentage had spent their previous lives much as they do now: toiling through an unremarkable existence. Again, personally, I think that's perfectly wonderful. Even as a middle manager in the 1930s, a life lived is a worthy one, lessons can be learned and wisdom gained. You don't have to be Cleopatra to have been blessed.
Between this and the FamTrad stuff, all these outlandish declarations made me wonder what Marge felt she had to prove to me. I already knew she had power. Not only had she seen the poster I'd bespelled, but I'd sensed it flowing from her aura.
It was now about five minutes to close and there were still three people waiting to be helped. So I put on my kindest, most charming smile, looked Marge directly in the eyes, and said, "Listen, I'm sorry. I've really got to ask you to leave right now, but I'd love to hear all about it tonight, Marge."
And that was my fatal mistake.
Six hours later, I was cornered-literally pushed up between my bookshelf and the window-by Marge, who was, in point of fact, telling me all of her past-life sexual exploits in excruciating detail.
I eyed the pewter statue of Kali that sat within arm's reach on the second shelf. If Marge didn't stop talking soon, I planned to use it to bludgeon my way back into the middle of the room. Thing was, I hadn't had a chance to talk to anyone else tonight, and, worse, we were running out of lemonade.
The sun had gone down several hours ago, but it was still eighty-seven degrees. At least the breeze coming in off the lake through the open windows brought a little relief. My apartment was the upper floor of a creaky, old Victorian with wiring nearly as ancient as the plaster-and-lath walls, which meant no AC. Every time I tried to plug in an air conditioner, the breakers blew.
Strategically placed fans shifted the hot air around, and I had provided lots of pitchers of ice-cold lemonade to mitigate the heat-except now we were running precariously low.
"Hmm, mm-hmm," I muttered as Marge continued to regale me with her former prowess in bed. I had tuned Marge out the first time she mentioned cunnilingus, because while it might be nice to experience, it was not a word I found palatable when bandied about with impunity.
I tried to catch Sebastian's eye, but he was completely focused on a leggy, blond foreign exchange student named Blythe. She was a comparative religions major and a Londoner. Neither of them noticed me frantically trying to get their attention.
Marge seemed to notice my focus drifting. Her eyes darted to Blythe and Sebastian furtively, and then she'd blurt out something awkwardly embarrassing about sex and espionage. All the while, she twiddled with that dog pendant of hers.
Marge started explaining some Kama Sutra position the Mata Hari had found particularly useful, and I broke in, "I've been admiring your necklace. Where'd you get it?"
She stopped midsentence and looked down at the pendant between her fingers like she'd never seen it before in her life. "Uh, this?"
Marge at a loss for words-this was interesting. "Yeah. Is it Anubis? Is it magical?" I asked, knowing full well it was from my earlier aura scan. Still, I thought maybe I'd seen one on someone else here tonight and I wondered if it was associated with some local coven I didn't know about. "Do you think I should carry it in the store?"
"Oh no, you couldn't do that," she said quickly, as if I had suggested doing something rude to her grandmother. Her eyes flashed to Sebastian and Blythe and then to the floor. "It's just something silly and personal. It doesn't mean anything."
Marge just lied to me. I looked at Sebastian, who still only had eyes for Blythe. Why had Marge glanced at them? Was the dog some kind of symbol that involved Sebastian? Legend would have you believe that vampires can transform into wolves, but Sebastian always flatly denied he had the ability to change shape. He always started getting all nerdy whenever I brought it up, quoting laws of physics and the conservation of mass, whatever that was.
Could the pendant be another vampire's symbol? Was Marge a ghoul? "So," I said, trying to act like I was changing the subject when I really wasn't, "how'd you get interested in magic?"
"Uh, well, my family, you know," she stammered, taking a step backwards.
What was going on here? Most Witches loved talking about when they "came out of the broom closet" and how they discovered, or rediscovered, the Craft. Actually, the analogy with the gay and lesbian community was a good one. We often lived in a kind of secrecy in a world dominated by a religion not only very different from our own but which actively despised and misunderstood us. In safe places like a coven gathering, people tended to like to bond over "war stories" of growing up in a hostile environment.
"So you've always been a Witch," I prompted. Stepping forward, so Marge would have to move back. "What kind?"
William inserted himself smoothly into my advance, like that rescue I'd wanted ten minutes ago. "Hey, Garnet, you're out of lemonade. Do you have more you can make? Maybe in the fridge?"
"In a second," I said, but Marge had already fled into the crowd. "Damn."
William frowned. "Oh. Did I interrupt something?"
I shook my head. "No, it's fine. I'll talk to her about it later."
So, with William in tow, I refilled the lemonade and chips, and then went to check in on Sebastian. Or, at least, I tried to.
"Hey," I said, coming up to where Sebastian stood. Sebastian looked good despite the heat. Sebastian was cool and collected with his Old World-style long hair tied back at the nape of his decidedly unsweaty neck.
Looking at him, I could hardly believe this amazing man had asked me to marry him only yesterday. He was wickedly handsome-long, straight, black hair; sharp aquiline nose; and the sculpted, graceful body of a dancer . . . or, more accurately, a predator.
Okay, so that last part shouldn't have been sexy, but it was. Sebastian had intense gold-brown eyes, not unlike that wolf I'd met on the road. It had been the first thing I'd noticed about him. I'd never met a real person who had an honest-to-Goddess "penetrating gaze," but Sebastian did. It was captivating.
Thrilling, even.
That is, when he was looking at mewhich he wasn't right now.
Not at all.

Witch Garnet Lacey, who has the Goddess Lilith living inside her, wants to buy the Mercury Crossing Occult Bookstore that she manages. Her vampiric fiancé Sebastian von Straum encourages her to do so. The pair also hopes to create a new coven to replace those who sadly died from a Vatican anti-vampire assault team. At the first new coven meeting, Garnet mentions Lilith to the group and Sebastian claims he is a vampire most have some doubts with what each says. --- Garnet goes to the university to attend a lecture given by Sebastian on herbs. He is late, which is a shocker as he is always punctual. His son Matyas, who sent the Vatican assassins after them, arrives. Garnet and Matyas do not like each other as she knows he sent the Vatican after them and he believes she is just Sebastian¿s favorite chew toy. When Sebastian fails to arrive at all, Matyas assumes he is feeding from one of his ghouls while Garnet thinks he is in trouble. --- Though enemies they go to Sebastian¿s farmhouse, but he is not there. Garnet traces Sebastian¿s path on the astral plane, but to her shock it splinters into many threads something she has never seen before. She also sees a wolf with human eyes so she flees back to the farmhouse. They find Sebastian¿s black book listing his sustenance ghouls. They know he is in trouble, but begin a quest to save him starting with an interview of his ghouls. --- As always in a Tate Hallaway fantasy, the various types of paranormal species seem genuine and Madison, Wisconsin is a perfect setting for this the action thriller that never slows down for a moment. Readers will thoroughly appreciate this stand alone tale that also refers back to incidents in the previous two novels (see tall sexy and tall, dark & dead). Although ROMANCING THE DEAD lacks the humor that the audience expects from this talented author, this superb tale affirms the theory that ¿life¿s a witch¿ worth reading about. --- Harriet Klausner
If you like the Garnet Lacey series you are sure to like the third installment. Its a cute book and shows how much Garnet has grown. Enjoy!
I LOVE this series. Honestly, it's a very short read for me, but LOVE the characters. I could not get enough! This one was great. Highly recommend to anyone that likes their vampires and mystical creatures with a sense of humor.
I love the Garnet Lacey series from the main characters to the supporting. I even love her cat. Awesome read but you must start at the beginning of the series.
Witches, Ghosts, Zombies, Vampires just to name some of the cast of characters.
THis is a very good series. The main character is funny and you instantly love her. The things she goes though and the way she handles them makes the series very entertaining. It is quite a difference from alot of the other series out there that are so serious. This one had me laughing out loud.

Layoffs loom for San Onofre employees
In two months, Southern California Edison will begin laying off 600 nonunion employees, a consequence of its decision to close the troubled San Onofre nuclear plant.
By the time the layoffs are finished, the plant's workforce of 1,500 will be reduced to 400 as the plant moves into its decommissioning phase.
The California Public Utilities Commission still has to decide whether to reimburse ratepayers for the costs associated with San Onofre.
The announcement of the plant's permanent closure came early this month, with Edison citing costs and uncertainty surrounding its proposal to restart one reactor at reduced power. Contingency measures are in place to help keep customers' power supply steady through the summer months.

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Wolf Creek Golf Course -- Incredible vistas
|Review by: Anonymous
|Wolf Creek is the course you will remember long after you have departed from the Mesquite area. Incredible vistas with golf shots over canyons onto fairways far below. Number 2 hole is memorable. Suttle challenging greens. Why not a 5 star? Simply because this course is priced in the statasphere. Noone should have to pay the bucks they are demanding to play golf...was that why there the number of people playing the course could be counted on one hand?

A urinary tract infection (UTI), also called bladder infection, is a bacterial inflammation in the urinary tract. Pregnant women are at increased risk for UTI's starting in week 6 through week 24.
Why are UTI's more common during pregnancy?
UTI's are more common during pregnancy because of changes in the urinary tract. The uterus sits directly on top of the bladder. As the uterus grows, its increased weight can block the drainage of urine from the bladder, causing an infection.
What are the signs and symptoms of UTI's?
If you have a urinary tract infection, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Pain or burning (discomfort) when urinating
- The need to urinate more often than usual
- A feeling of urgency when you urinate
- Blood or mucus in the urine
- Cramps or pain in the lower abdomen
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Chills, fever, sweats, leaking of urine (incontinence)
- Waking up from sleep to urinate
- Change in amount of urine, either more or less
- Urine that looks cloudy, smells foul or unusually strong
- Pain, pressure, or tenderness in the area of the bladder
When bacteria spreads to the kidneys you may experience: back pain, chills, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
How will the UTI affect my baby?
If the UTI goes untreated, it may lead to a kidney infection. Kidney infections may cause early labor and low birth weight. If your doctor treats a urinary tract infection early and properly, the UTI will not cause harm to your baby.
How do I know if I have a UTI?
A urinalysis and a urine culture can detect a UTI throughout pregnancy.
How is a UTI treated?
UTI's can be safely treated with antibiotics during pregnancy. Urinary tract infections are most commonly treated by antibiotics. Doctors usually prescribe a 3-7 day course of antibiotics that is safe for you and the baby.
Call your doctor if you have fever, chills, lower stomach pains, nausea, vomiting, contractions, or if after taking medicine for three days, you still have a burning feeling when you urinate.
How can I prevent a UTI?
You may do everything right and still experience a urinary tract infection, but you can reduce the likelihood by doing the following:
- Drink 6-8 glasses of water each day and unsweetened cranberry juice regularly.
- Eliminate refined foods, fruit juices, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar.
- Take Vitamin C (250 to 500 mg), Beta-carotene (25,000 to 50,000 IU per day) and Zinc (30-50 mg per day) to help fight infection.
- Develop a habit of urinating as soon as the need is felt and empty your bladder completely when you urinate.
- Urinate before and after intercourse.
- Avoid intercourse while you are being treated for an UTI.
- After urinating, blot dry (do not rub), and keep your genital area clean. Make sure you wipe from the front toward the back. Avoid using strong soaps, douches, antiseptic creams, feminine hygiene sprays, and powders.
- Change underwear and pantyhose every day.
- Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants.
- Wear all cotton or cotton-crotch underwear and pantyhose.
- Don't soak in the bathtub longer than 30 minutes or more than twice a day.

This study presents a comparison between two dipoles acting as representatives of ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification (RFID) circularly polarised (CP) and linearly polarised (LP) tag antennas, respectively. As the CP dipole is derived from the LP dipole, they have equivalent reflection coefficient and radiation efficiency values, allowing the comparison to be focused on polarisation and radiation pattern. Then, a comparison of RFID angular and read range is investigated. This is conducted by combining the interrogation of CP and LP tags emulators by CP and LP readers with regulated power. The emulators are made up of the CP and LP dipoles embedded onto RFID tags with analog front-ends. A methodology is described for measuring the maximum angular and read ranges, involving maximum power allowed by European regulation. A 17.9% extra range is achieved by the CP tag and the CP reader compared to the LP tag with any kind of reader. Furthermore, null cancellation is observed in the former case in the region of interest.

In late 2010, McCann NY won responsibilities for the U.S. relaunch of Chicco, a 50 year old Italian company specializing in making babies happy around the world. Here in the U.S. they are little known. When asked, most people have no idea where Chicco is from – Mexico? China? Nor do most people know how to pronounce the name.
Objective: To make a big launch splash with a limited budget.
Website hosting, CMS and streaming to digital billboard: Aerva
Focus: teaching the correct pronunciation of the brand (Kee-Ko), establishing the provenance and the products, which in the U.S. are car seats, strollers, toys.

knitting socks
I am a very novice knitter and need some help with forming the heel +then the gusset. Maybe someone with a little patient could help me understand.I have read different links and I am having trouble understanding. Thanks so much
I have only knit one pair of socks so far, so I am by no means an expert. There are lots of experienced sock knitters here on KH though ... so maybe one of them will have more detailed tips for you.
I would start by watching the video on working the heel of a sock on the video page. There are also lots of other great videos and tutorials out there .... I would recommend checking out Silver's Sock Class, I found it very helpful in grasping the new concepts involved sock knitting! Follow the link and scroll down to select the tutorial that is designed for the method of circular knitting that you are using (eg. DPNs, 2 Circulars, or Magic Loop).
Hope this helps you get started! :knitting:

Tourism officials say the Toyota Gator Bowl on New Year's Day will bring fans to St. Augustine despite the nation's slowing economy and aftermath of Sept. 11's terrorist attacks.
Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett said the game inside Jacksonville's 70,000-seat Alltel Stadium may sell out. With Florida State University's Seminoles playing, even more people could be coming to St. Augustine to visit, said Don Patrick, president of the St. Augustine & St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce.
"They'll come in from all over the state, and we'll do well with our accommodations here because people that go to the Gator Bowl want to stay in St. Augustine," Patrick said.
But the number of visitors downtown over the weekend sporting the colors of the FSU Seminoles or Virginia Tech Hokies was small. Fans typically come to St. Augustine to visit in the days before the game or to find a hotel.
"We chose to stay in St. Augustine because of the things to do, the things to walk around and see," said Suzanne Nagle, a Hokie fan.
Nagle, who travelled from Blacksburg, Va., with her husband, Steve, said the economy was not a factor.
"The one thing we really enjoy doing is following our team," she said.
More FSU fans will likely show up as New Year's Day gets closer, she added.
Jim Muncy, a Hokie fan from Richmond, Va., said he would have done what he could to get to the game, no matter what the economy was doing.
"If I was on dire straits, I'd have this as a priority," he said.
Although few people were advertising their college football allegiances, the downtown's St. George Street was packed with tourists over the weekend.
"The Christmas season has been very busy," said Richard Pinto, owner of the St. George Street shops Sunburst Crystal and Far East Traders. "I think tourism is doing better than we were afraid it might do after the tragedies in New York."
Downtown restaurants were also full. Cindy Willis, assistant manager of A1A Ale Works, said she is fortunate with all the things that have gone on in the world to still be doing well.
"It's been busy ever since before Christmas," Willis said.
She added that some Gator Bowl fans must be coming by the restaurant.
Some local hotels, such as the Days Inn St. Augustine Beach, were not impacted by the football game, even though managers said business was going well.
Days Inn manager Vernon Helms said hotels in Jacksonville take most of the Gator Bowl fans. He said his hotel was back to normal about two weeks after the terrorist attacks.
However, the Marriott at Sawgrass Resort in Ponte Vedra Beach is almost full with Gator Bowl fans, said Chris Bracken, director of marketing for the hotel. The Virginia Tech football team is staying at the hotel, which brings fans, he said.
"People stayed here last year, had a good time and wanted to come back," Bracken said.
Virginia Tech played the Clemson University Tigers last year.
However, Bracken said the hotel will be 10 percent to 15 percent off at the first of the year because of the economy. The amount of reservations indicate that things will pick up again in the spring, he said.
Patrick said the Chamber gets feedback from the local tourism industry and all indications show that tourism is strong.
"People feel like everything is coming back very well," he said.
He added that he thinks the effects Sept. 11 have had on travel are in the past.
"It sure looks like it's back to normal to me," Patrick said.

Fresh off a gut-wrenching Super Bowl loss, the San Francisco 49ers are set to rally behind the shield of coach Jim Harbaugh once again. This is a team that has experienced an incredible resurgence, inching closer to the Lombardi Trophy each season.
In only 37 games and one-and-a-half offseasons, this team has shutdown the best teams in the National Football League and proved they are championship worthy. Now that they know what it takes it to get there, the 49ers—led by their bull shark Patrick Willis—smell blood in the water.
This time around, the 49ers are sporting a new look behind center and have bolstered the depth of this roster at several position groups. With another offseason of upgrades in 2013, it is possible San Francisco fields their best team under Harbaugh to date.
Here are the final 53 players that will make up that roster.

While Calling Stimulus 'Wasteful,' Paul Ryan Secured Millions Of Dollars In Grants For Clean Energy
When it comes to the stimulus, presumptive GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan was against it before he was for it.
Or, to be more precise, he was for it at the same time he was against it.
According to documents obtained by the Boston Globe, Rep. Ryan (R-WI) lobbied the Department of Energy for tens of millions of dollars in stimulus grants for Wisconsin energy initiatives at least four times — even while calling the stimulus a "wasteful spending spree."
The Globe reports:
"This trillion dollar spending bill misses the mark on all counts," said Ryan in a statement from his office. "This is not a crisis we can spend and borrow our way out of – that is how we got here in the first place."
But later that year, once the bill was passed and signed into law, Ryan sought to make sure his constituents benefited.
On October 5, 2009, he wrote a letter to Chu on behalf of the nonprofit Energy Center of Wisconsin, which was applying for a grant under the Recovery Act's Geothermal Technologies Program.
Under the grant program the center received a total of $240,000, according to its president, Frank Greb.
The same day Ryan sent another letter advocating for a grant application, in which the Energy Center partnered with Milwaukee Area Technical College, for training building technicians and operators in energy-saving techniques. For that program, the government provided $740,364, according to federal records.
But the biggest payoff came for the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation. Ryan predicted the $20 million grant would be able to "create or retain approximately 7,600 new jobs over the three-year grant period and the subsequent three years."
Yet in an interview with MSNBC two years later, Ryan again bashed the stimulus package.
Ryan is best known for his role as chairman of the House Budget Committee. He's well liked within the Tea Party for his strong rhetoric on slashing federal spending (cutting everything except the military and fossil fuel subsidies) — a key reason why he was chosen by the Romney campaign.
However, according to the documents, Ryan requested millions of dollars for a variety of programs under the stimulus package, including $5.4 million for bus services and tens of millions of dollars for renewable energy and efficiency programs.
Ryan joins at least 62 Congressional Republicans who have actively lobbied the government for loan guarantees and grants for clean energy companies in their districts — even while many of them have publicly criticized the stimulus program that provided a boost to local companies and organizations around the country. According to the Department of Energy, the loan guarantee programs created or saved over 60,000 jobs and the 1603 grant program supported up to 75,000 jobs, stimulating tens of billions of dollars in private-sector activity.
And this is where these stories of hypocritical behavior around clean energy get tricky. It's a great thing that Republicans once supported this industry. Assuming the dollars go toward good projects, we should resoundingly support conservatives who want to build their local economies through clean energy.
But the Republican party has made a choice to aggressively target clean energy this election cycle, spending millions of dollars on false claims about the industry that fact checkers call "ridiculous." In addition, Paul Ryan is pushing a proposed federal budget that slashes the Department of Energy's renewable energy program by 57 percent, put the breaks on incentives for advanced clean technology manufacturing, and retains $38.6 billion in tax credits for the oil and gas sector.
Joshua Freed, vice president for clean energy at Third Way, told the Globe that Ryan's budget "waves a white flag on competing in energy technology" by defunding crucial clean energy programs at a time when every other country sees the sector as vital to competitiveness.
Like many in his party, Ryan is partially betting his political future on being against clean energy this election cycle. Unless, of course, he can get money for his own district.
15 Responses to While Calling Stimulus 'Wasteful,' Paul Ryan Secured Millions Of Dollars In Grants For Clean Energy
I'm confused, should I like him a little bit now?
Obama should ask the R Ticket to buckle up / All-Hands-On-The-Deck to combat climate change. If they don't they are part of the problem and need to move, because of National Security implications.
Er, it doesn't seem you are joking. I don't understand why you are confused, or why you would like a Congressman (let alone VP nominee) who bashed and continues to bash a useful and beneficial program, while quietly boosting his own political standing from those same tax dollars.
I've noticed this hypocrisy at the congressional level because getting jobs and funding for your district is a time-honored re-election strategy.
On the other hand, refusing to apply for, or not accepting funding for your area as part of grants or funding already approved at the federal level… that's something I hear from county level GOP, and the rationale is always that the local level will be stuck with cost down the line.
Quayle, Kemp, Cheney, Palin, Ryan. I don't remember much about Kemp other than football but I'm surprised at how shallow the GOP pool is. I know they drum out anyone who questions their party but the tent sure seems small.
Just like his idol Ayn Rand. Criticize Government money, then take it.
Wait a minute. He takes in political contributions from the oil industry, but, asks for stimulus money for clean energy?!? Do his puppetmasters, the Koch Brothers, know this. What a hypocrite!
Front page news and outspoken outrage about the Stimulus Plan that even President Reagan used. But Americans were convinced hate Obama. Well each Republican secretly took the money to their State with smiles and photo ops calling it their idea. And people believed the lie. The best actor was SC Grovernor Sanford who held out continuing his attack on President Obama. Sanford rushed to DC just before the deadline and asked for his State's money. But voters like the GOP playing them for idiots because it works so well. Soldiers asked Obama to get Bin Laden as Law Makers and Americans moved on and could careless. Shocker the President caught Bin Laden and Law Makers then said no Bush did it then Romney said he would have done it. Well as the troops cheered the voters said no big deal. Congress including Paul Ryan stuck to the plan to do nothing to help with Jobs or recovery and now the blame goes to the President because Americans didn't know it was Congress's job to vote bills/and send it to the President for Law. As long as the Tea Party continues the spread of hate and racism and Americans follow he lunatics our counry will continue to fall. More attacks on Muslims and other that idiots think are Muslims. Much like they did in the 40's 50's when blacks were taken off the streets and killed for entertainment.
What a sham this guy is sucking from the gov't and at the same time wanting those who need gov't help to stop sucking off it because they are a cancer as he and Becky Boy call[ed] progressives.The man is a typical spend like a drunken sailor republican who the Tbaggers of all people are in bed with, am I making sense here?Don't you conservatives feel foolish especially you T Party members?I love to hear from you on TP.
That was pretty typical of the GOP. They all bashed the stimulus package, but all also had their handouts for the money, and as Obama mentioned, were at all the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects funded with stimulus money.
It's the same with jobs – they want to know "where are the jobs", but they won't let the President's jobs bills come up for a vote, while all the cutting they're forcing in government spending is causing job losses in the public sector.
Bless their hearts.
A few words. Hypocrite… Two-faced… Romney trainee. Etch-a-sketch.
A lot like this very wealthy boy taking the government's money (Social Security after his father's early death) and paying for his college with it. He obviously did not need the money, and now he wants to make sure no one else gets what he got: government help.
In addition to killing social security he wants to kill Pell Grants to make absolutely certain that no one from the lower economic classes has a chance in life.
I say to Ryan: PAY THE GOVERNMENT BACK FOR THE SS MONEY YOU TOOK WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED IT!
Well, at least Ryan and Romney are in sync on that hypocrisy thing.
the perfect Rmoney pick: a mirror image of hypocrisy, lies, flip-flopping, thievery, sociopathy and treason. Two rotten peas in a diseased pod.
Good Man Paul,
If you can't stop the insane spending, then make sure you district get's it's share
Make the connection:The Ryan family sells oil/gas from their land to big durty energy companies (including Exon Mobile),while in his budget,passed by the House, he decreases clean energy substites and hands out billions to wealthy oil corperations.

We have a civilian leadership that is not the strategic peer of its uniformed counterparts, and that needs to change.
The State Department Should Take the Lead on Military Intervention, But It's Too Weak to Do So
Kori Schake, a fellow at the Hoover Institution, is the author of "State of Disrepair," which is about strengthening American diplomacy.
Updated May 28, 2014, 1:25 PM
There is nothing wrong with the secretary of defense taking a back seat to the secretary of state in pursuing military interventions. Indeed, that is the historical norm and consistent with the secretary of state as the first cabinet official in the presidential succession.
But sadly, the State Department is incapable of strategic thinking, and Secretary Kerry's approach to Syria shows how deeply flawed our diplomatic corps has become.
The professionalization of our military since 1973 has dramatically increased its proficiency and influence. Our military may be the only remaining incubator of strategic thinkers in government -- politics and academia have ceded the role. The template for ensuring civilian leaders are integrating military force effectively into national strategy was even developed by an active-duty soldier: Gen. Colin Powell.
The Defense Department's prominence is reinforced by the atrophying of our diplomacy. Since the 1960s the executive branch and Congress have stripped the State Department of important elements, making foreign assistance, trade, loans and determinations on foreign ownership the responsibility of other agencies. The State Department's own inability to provide civilian support (like aid and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan), occasioned a further enormous shift of civilian responsibilities to the military, a problem the State Department has not remedied in a decade of war. While State's quadrennial review understands that the State Department can only run foreign policy by orchestrating the efforts of other agencies, the institution remains manifestly incapable of fulfilling this task.
And so now we have a civilian leadership that is not the peer of its uniformed counterparts. It cannot perform the functions of identifying political objectives and developing means to achieve them. As a result, the secretary of state debates military tactics -- boots versus Tomahawks -- instead of national strategy, which the Powell Doctrine emphasizes is the proper responsibility of civilians. It's actually a worrying trend that needs to be countered, not by weakening our military, but by strengthening our civilians. We need to invest as seriously in the professional development of our diplomats as we do in our military, and hold them accountable for outcomes, not processes.
The solution is not just money but an organizational culture capable of self-improvement.

Skip to comments.'As a black person it's always racial': Jamie Foxx
Posted on 12/15/2012 9:18:12 PM PST by Vince Ferrer
Jamie Foxx has revealed that he finds himself facing racial challenges in everyday situations of his life. The African American actor explained during an interview with Vibe magazine that he is always sensitive about his skin colour. Jamie, 45, admitted that 'Every single thing in my life is built around race'. He told Vibe magazine: 'Cause as black folks we're always sensitive. As a black person it's always racial. 'I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese. 'I'll be like, ain't this a b***h. Y'all didn't know black people was coming.' In the same vein he explained that if he turned up to the photo shoot and there was fried chicken and watermelon, he would also be annoyed at the stereotype.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
No, they knew who was coming, they just treat everyone equally. That's why you got what everyone else gets, cheese and crackers.
I think Jamie would be very disappointed to discover the deep, dark secret of white people. That white people have moved on. I think if he could see how little race is a factor in white people lives, he would actually be hurt that we aren't thinking about him all the time, we are just getting up in the morning, going to work, and trying to get home again with the least amount of hassle possible. Coming to terms with that would be a healthy thing for him, even if he has to let go of the demons he feels he has to fight.
Is all his money black too?
Wouldn't 'crackers' be considered....racist?
Jaime is a race-obsessed child, whoddathunkit...
Racism is an industry in America, especially for Media, Hollywood, and the charlatans. Unfortunately, the racism industry pollutes the amicable air the rest of the Country would like to enjoy.
Never gonna live that down.
This guy has jackass syndrome. All he ever talks about is race. That makes him a racist in my book.
Everything's racist.
[and stating that is racist, too]
I think you hit the nail on the head: many of them spend so much time obsessing about what we think of them, and would be shocked to know that most of us don't think of them much at all.
With the liberal establishment throwing race into everyone's faces all the time (education, especially) they have breathed new life into skin deep meaning, racism, envy and traibalism. A lot of white people have been attacked by the black racists Jamie is egging on with his "kill all white people" hate. After the Zimmerman race hate fest, many whites were attacked by black mobs in our cities.
I just hope if anyone is inspired to hate and murder by that limo liberal racist snob, it is him and his family who are the victims of the race hate he so loves as his meaning in life.
Life can be a boomerang. He and liberalism in general, should grow beyond the hate meanings and separation of skin and tribes and love everyone and find peace with the past, today and the future. His resentment and hate will eat him and his soul alive. It is the opposite of God and not a safe place to exist as a human.
Life is lived between your own ears...make of it what you will.
What did he want....obligatory watermelon and fried chicken?....racist-fare?
Is that what HE believes black people want to eat?
I'm Con-fuss-ed...
Poor little Jamie. He has such a tough, tough life in this "rasis" country. Poor baby. KMA Foxx!
Jamie Foxx: "'Every single thing in my life is built around race."
If a white man said that same thing everyone, absolutely everyone - and they would be right! - would conclude that the man is a racist. How is it not racist when a black man says it? And, if it isn't, how far are we from the society that, for example, Martin Luther King Jr. desired?
Sad. But then "wisdom is justified by its deeds." (Matthew 11:19)
It's actually CPRS...Chronic Perceived Racism Syndrome."
This POS MAKES everything about race and then blames others for it.
In other words, he is a complete racist!
What a limited, narrow, narcissistic bore!
Hey Jay ...... do your 'Ray Charles reading a waffle iron' impression!
(His man-crush on Zero sure is embarrassing for us heterosexuals.)
To me it's Judeo-Christian values. Race has nothing to do with squat.
Does his highness expect caviar and Crystal champagne everywhere he goes?
Seems less racist than just a plain out of touch liberal elitist.
More Black Racist nonsense from a Hollywood twit
Sad part is that so many White Guilt Liberals eat this tripe up.
I'm 57 and I have no idea how Ritz crackers and cheese has a racial connotation. This Foxx idiot is just neurotic and that's his choice.
Precisely. White people are So Over race. We don't care. So get over it and stop making your differences bigger than they are.
They should hand him an EBT Card and tell him to go shopping and pick up whatever he likes.
So...buying a 40 acre, 10.5 million dollar property/house in the Thousand Oaks area (.04 percent black, over 80 percent white) is Foxx's way of keeping it real? (snicker)
Worth repeating.
Someone please explain what his problem with Ritz crackers and cheese is.
I don't get out much....
No wonder everyone else wants to get away from these race-obsessed idiots. They're like ants at a picnic, you just have to keep moving on to get away from the pests. And everybody does it, actions speak louder than words.
I assume he will have the tennis court converted to a basketball court on that property. What to do with the swimming pool (also a white activity)?
The last thing the Liberals and Democrats want to do is accept that racist views and actions are held by a tiny number of white people today. Racist explanations and "thinking," where people are judged based on their color, is now a common thread of Liberal thinking. Racial politics has made people rich and materially successful in the US, look at Reverend Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton. It's allowed President Obama to escape the normal scrutiny that occurs when a candidate runs for office. If one holds him accountable, well, that's just sooo racist. Democrat racist thinking is a shield today for the advancement of Fabian socialism. It allows the Left to accuse anyone who prefers the US Constitution to the Democrats destruction of freedom as a racist, and those who support our traditions and our Constitution are, therefore, deemed as beyond human decency. We're wicked and worse, not PC. Who in his right mind would discuss anything of significance with a real racist? So if you can get a sizable number of people to accept that anyone opposed to Obama's socialist agenda is a racist, then you already gotten off to a great start in winning the debate. We must always push back against this tactic. Real victims of racism would gladly trade places with Jamie Foxx, and he trivializes those who truly suffer from racism. He's a fraud.
Jamie Foxx is a multi-millionaire thanks to a system created and built by white men. I doubt he'll acknowledge that fact.
He is also an idiot to make everything racial.
If white people made everything "racial", we'd have another war.
Good question. If he had gotten "black people food," yes, he no doubt would have screamed "racism." He got "neutral people food," which he considers "white people food," so he screams racism.
He's just a good old-fashioned attention whore.
This post is NOT about your black ass, whom ever you are..
This post is NOT about your white ass, whom ever you are..
I reserve the right to despise anyone no matter their color..
Presently I despise more whites than blacks but that can, and probably will, change..
So sad, I really used to like Jamie Foxx, I always thought he was like Angela Lansbury, really a performer who could do it all excellently: comedy, drama, music, there aren't many people really like that.
But lately he's been talking like a real putz.
He's a racist, it's that simple.
Spoiler alert: Africans won't like you, either.
Being semi-white {grand parents came from Sicily, and there are lots of kinky heads in the family} makes me very sensitive, especially about people using slurs that include garlic and olive oil.
I cry for days when my inner dago is cruelly hurt by an insensitive black person making racial slurs about whitey.
If they would only understand how us semi-whites have no real identity, I feel put down, just like RG III.
It is so hurtful, I'm going to go and clean my guns.
I better put the following in or some idiot will that this as series. SSSSS/////OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF
What is wrong with Ritz crackers and cheese, is it some sort of racial code food?
By and large. It is troubling to know that there are segments of society that see white hooded thugs behind every tree and car. They just don't know that we couldn't care less.
What a huge house! With tennis courts too, that's a white man's sport!
Sure beats living in Nigeria. Jamie Foxx could escape all this alleged racism by moving to any number of African nations. No white man to oppress him there.
Jaimie Foxx is a symptom of the disease. He's succeeded in his career and is rich, but needs to be a victim.

Welcome back, Ryan Harrow. You've been missed. Harrow played a complete game and was the star of the show in Kentucky's 74-70 win over Vanderbilt. He finished with 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting, five rebounds and four assists, but more importantly, he played with toughness and aggression on both ends. It was the Ryan Harrow fans have been dying to see for over a month now and Kentucky can be a completely different team if he keeps it up in these last five games.
Ryan Harrow Returns, Kentucky Wins

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself. I have 1 DD who is 18 months and we will be TTC soon. I'm thinking of names already. DD's name is soooooo common. Emily. I don't care that it is so popular, I always loved it. But I would like to pick something a little less popular this time around. Classic, but not overused. My husband likes Hayden for a boy, which is a family name, and I like that too, but we know so many Jayden, Braeden, and Aidens that I tend to shy away from that one.
Any ideas of boy or girl names that sound good when you say "Emily and...."?

Health-Law Ruling Viewed as Limited
A Virginia judge's ruling on the health overhaul may be narrower than either side of the case let on after Monday's decision.
U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson found the law's requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty—the "individual mandate"—violates the Constitution. He wrote that his decision applies to Section 1501 of the law, which spells out that requirement, and to any "directly dependent provisions which make specific reference to Section 1501."
A search of the law shows no other provisions have such a reference. Several legal experts on both sides of the case said they interpret the ruling as applying to the individual mandate and nothing else.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the plaintiff in the case, said he thought Judge Hudson also meant to strike down the law's requirement that insurers provide coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions.
Like Mr. Cuccinelli, the Obama administration has seen the two requirements as linked, arguing that insurers can't be forced to accept sick customers unless healthy people are also brought into the insurance pool. Administration officials declined to comment on this part of the judge's ruling.
If the Supreme Court were ultimately to endorse the view that the individual mandate falls but everything else stands, it could create havoc for insurance companies and a messy battle in Congress, which would probably feel pressure to reopen the law. But any such worries are still a long way off as challenges to the law wind through the courts.
