I really, really try to not read too far before books come out. It's tempting because I do have access to early review copies (though I don't request/receive at the rate of a lot of folks--that would simply overwhelm me), and sometimes I simply cannot resist and read waaaaaaay before a book's release date.
The following are three that I highly recommend you keep your eyes out for in a couple of months when they're released. (And, I promise, I'll write more about each once they're real books you can buy or snag at your library.)
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Disney Hyperion | Dec. 10, 2013
Were you a fan a Lost? Because These Broken Stars is perfect for Lost fans, with its twisty blend of science fiction, weird paranormalcy and reality-bending conspiracy. The romance is unusual and emotion-filled, particularly in its confrontation of class differences.
Ink is Thicker Than Water by Amy Spalding
Entangled Teen | Dec. 3, 2013
Do you ever complain that there aren't enough complex family relationships in young adult fiction? Then Amy Spalding's second novel, Ink is Thicker Than Water will definitely satisfy you. Lots of family stickiness are explored in this novel, and the messiness is absolutely fabulous.
Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott
Harlequin Teen | Jan. 28, 2014
Elizabeth Scott's upcoming Heartbeat is another novel which explores the complexity of family. In this book's case, loss, what-ifs and the tension between teenage disenfranchisement while at the same time being on the cusp of adulthood. It's so, so emotional and, at the same time, rather restrained.

I've been trying to pin down exactly why I enjoyed All Our Yesterdays so much, beyond that I'm a sucker for time travel stories. What I've come up with is that Cristin Terrill's debut novel uses the time travel narrative to its fullest potential, exploring the nature of love, sacrifice and the consequences of both.
All Our Yesterdays opens with Em, who is imprisoned in a secret facility, finding a list of instructions taped inside a drain in her cell. The instructions are written in her handwriting, but she's never seen them before. Together with the boy in the cell next to hers, Finn, she escapes her imprisonment and travel back in time four years in attempt to stop the evil "doctor" who built the time travel machine that was used to disrupt the course of history and create a totalitarian-type government. In order for the machine to be destroyed, the doctor must be eliminated.
Except, the "doctor" is someone from Em and Finn's past, their close friend and someone they both loved in their past. Killing him and stopping the time machine will also irrevocably alter their own lives.
Four years in the past, Marina pines for her neighbor and friend James. Both are privileged and sheltered, and it seems like James might be beginning to see Marina as something more than a friend. Then, a tragedy strikes James' family and he's changed. Marina feels like she's losing her beloved friend, but her loyalty endures.
These two stories intersect from both Marina and Em's points-of-view, as each is faced with big questions, the answers to which mean big consequences and require difficult sacrifices.

How is it a week into September already? Can someone please provide me with a time machine, because I have some unfinished business from last month to take care of. Or maybe a freeze-ray to just stop everything around me so I can get caught up?
Anyway... on to our recommended reads we enjoyed in August. As I promised Racquel in our podcast, I read Blue-Eyed Devil and really liked it! (I may write up my thoughts on this one, if I can find some extra time to bang it out.)

Need some good reads? The CEFS crew is back with our recommended reads from the last month. This is our way of making sure y'all know about good books, even if we haven't reviewed them or they're not out for awhile.
I went on a bit of a Liza Palmer binge and read three of her books on three consecutive weekends (weekend books are special, because I get long chunks of reading time) and loved all of them. Laura and I both read All Our Yesterdays (which I'll be reviewing next week) and absolutely loved it--it's a spectacular time travel story that is 100 deserving of all the early buzz. Sandra can't stop talking about how much she liked The Shadow of Blackbirds, so I'm going to bug her to review it.
We hope you can find something that floats your boat among this month's recommendations!

Kinmundy Board Gives American Obstacle Full Lake Permission
The Kinmundy Board of Alderman has given the owners of American Obstacle permission to proceed with an expansion of their operation to include all of the old city lake. The council has agreed to offer owners Kurt and Lisa Clough a 99 year lease for the old city lake property at virtually no cost to allow a proposed two-million dollar expansion over the next three years. The city will also assist the Clough's in trying to obtain grant money for the expansion that is expected to create 200 jobs, including 80 full time positions.Clough says some of the improvements will be available next year.
"The first thing we're planning on doing is putting ziplines across the lake, that should be ready for 2014."
Clough says a number of buildings will follow.
"We're planning on putting in a 350 person reception hall first. The second building we want to put in is a treetop restaurant, and then we'd like to put in storefronts, so that people who don't want to zipline can do a little shopping." Clough said.
Clough says the restaurant will be unique, "The cooking will be on ground level, but people will be able to walk up a staircase to the dining area in the canopy overlooking the lake."
American Obstacle attracted 2,000 visitors last year, a number Kurt Clough hopes will grow to 20,000 a year with completion of the full project.
The Clough's will further explain the project at a Town Meeting at seven Thursday night at Kinmundy City Hall. Everyone is invited to attend.

Customer Ravensburger Jolly Octopus Game Reviews (1)
by - written on 03/12/12 (Very useful, 81 readings)
My daughter received a game called Jolly Octopus last Christmas. It's made by Ravensburger and is available in most toy shops, supermarkets etc. It generally costs around £15.00 which I think is a little overpriced but not extortionate. It comes packaged in a large sized cardboard box which looks very eye catching. My daughter was very pleased to receive it, especially after seeing it on the adverts! The game consists of a plastic platform, a number of plastic tentacles, an octopus head, a pair of plastic tweezers and a number of plastic coloured crabs. The game doesn't fit in to the box when assembled so you have to assemble and dismantle each time you play. ... Read the complete review

"We like the standalone strategy and I think we felt we had a once in an industry opportunity to do a game changer," says Duncan Niederauer, NYSE Euronext CEO, who adds they are disappointed but not surprised about the merger falling through. The blocked merger is a missed opportunity for Europe and investors around the world he says; with Jan-Michiel Hessels, NYSE Euronext chairman, who adds the deal would accelerate the execution of the NYSE Euronext strategy, but the company is in good shape.
"It was black and white. There was nothing we could do to get the deal done." Those words from an architect of Nasdaq OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange's unsolicited bid for the NYSE Euronext after a meeting between the management of those companies and the DOJ's anti-trust division confirmed what many had believed on the day the bid was announced (April Fool's Day).

We vist here every year as soon as the Maize is ready & my boys love it. They are aged 8 & 12 yrs so yes more inclined to be in front of the xbox but once you get them outside & inside the maize it really is fun! You get a quiz card in which around the maze are clues to find.
Was £16 for an adult & two children so not a bad price ( the fun yard is free if you didn't want to go in the maize) as you can stay for however long you like, we did spend 3 hours here & you can bring a picnic as there are tables/chairs for you to eat/sit at so you could quite happily spend longer .
There are a lot of other games beside the maize which are free to play such as large noughts & crosses/tennis/pedal karts/big sand pit with spades ect & balls to kick/through into holes.
Basic yes but still loads of fun & with the big bales of hay piled high for the kids to climb to the top with the pirate flag everyone was worn out & happy at the end of the day.
There was a bouncy castle which was extra at £1 for whole day & tractor ride to see the alpaca's.
A lovely day for a reasonable price, looking forward to returning next year!!!

History of the Drow of GyarkalithuThe Drow first came to the planet Gyarkalithu circa 500 BL (Before Lawrence) under the leadership of the explorer Korlun. She led them to a massive cavern beneath the surface of the continent now known as Lahar, establishing a Kingdom of twelve city-states, with herself as Queen.History of the Drow of Gyarkalithu by Alkonium
Following her death with no designated heir in roughly 200 BL, a war of succession broke out between the twelve city states. After eight years of bloody stalemate, the leaders of the twelve city states met on neutral ground to discuss a peace treaty. Due to their inability to decide on a successor for Korlun, they instead opted to reorganize her kingdom into a loose alliance of city states, with no one drow controlling more than a single city, with rulers holding the title of Prince or Princess, rather than King or Queen. In the two thousand years that followed, this alliance would come to be known as the Principalities.
Despite this new form of government, the Drow maintained their tra

Yochelle woke early the next morning, unable to sleep as long as she normally did. The growing horror of Zenth's absence and the nervousness of pulling off her dangerous plan weighed too heavily on her shoulders for her to rest.
Slowly the drow eased into her dress, then stepped outside to see her guard standing watch.
"You're up early." he motioned.
"We still need to move for much of the day." the former prophetess answered. "We don't have time to lie around."
Zenth nodded, then sheathed his magical broadsword and nimbly jumped to a ledge. "I'll be watching from the shadows." he signaled before disappearing where her infrared vision could not follow.
Yochelle looked after him longingly. Would he reconsider? She doubted it, but all the same, she had nothing left to lose.
I'll ask him after we get through killing our kin. she decided, then roused the group with a blast of air that radiated out into the tents.

Monsterkart 7 - 230 HP with NOS News from the monsterkart! we have added a few new specials to the kart such as a Nitrous oxide system wich gives us at this moment 60 hp extra. sadly we didn´t have much time for the tests at the airfield in königsdorf and of course the track is not designed for something like this. the track is to bumpy and to short for a N2O powered kart with 230 hp. we hope to work together again with the guys from the tv motor show. a test track like the closed highway would be perfekt for the new stage of expansion of our kart. for the future it is planed to change the inejctors in bigger ones for even more N2O power. so we will see....

Nearly four years after becoming engaged (for the first time), Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard reportedly made it official on Oct. 17! The Parenthood star and his Veronica Mars bride, according to UsWeekly, made a casual trip to the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office to obtain their marriage license, but upon learning that a court employee could officiate a quick ceremony, the couple took up the offer and exchanged their vows on site.
Dax spoke about his low-budget nuptials on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Oct. 28, saying, "All in, with fuel to get there, $142 out the door." WATCH.

Essentially, I have an SNMP agent running on Linux and I need it to provide platform specific health and state information. Are there any Linux packages that do this, what MIBs to use, Dell Open Manager functionality???
Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Book Review: Oracle ADF 11gR2 Development Beginner's Guide
By Grant Ronald on Jun 25, 2013
Packt Publishing asked me to review Oracle ADF 11gR2 Development Beginner's Guide by Vinod Krishnan, so on a couple of long flights I managed to get through the book in a couple of sittings.
One point to make clear before I go into the review. Having authored "The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development: JDeveloper and Oracle ADF", I've written a book which covers the same topic/beginner level. I also think that its worth stating up front that I applaud anyone who has gone through the effort of writing a technical book. So well done Vinod. But on to the review:
The book itself is a good break down of topic areas. Vinod starts with a quick tour around the IDE, which is an important step given all the work you do will be through the IDE. The book then goes through the general path that I tend to always teach: a quick overview demo, ADF BC, validation, binding, UI, task flows and then the various "add on" topics like security, MDS and advanced topics. So it covers the right topics in, IMO, the right order. I also think the writing style flows nicely as well - Its a relatively easy book to read, it doesn't get too formal and the "Have a go hero" hands on sections will be useful for many.
That said, I did pick out a number of styles/themes to the writing that I found went against the idea of a beginners guide. For example, in writing my book, I tried to carefully avoid talking about topics not yet covered or not yet relevant at that point in someone's learning. So, if I was a new ADF developer reading this book, did I really need to know about ADFBindingFilter and DataBindings.cpx file on page 58 - I've only just learned how to do a drag and drop simple application so showing me XML configuration files relevant to JSF/ADF lifecycle is probably going to scare me off!
I found this in a couple of places, for example, the security chapter starts on page 219 but by page 222 (and most of the preceding pages are hands-on steps) we're diving into the web.xml, weblogic.xml, adf-config.xml, jsp-config.xml and jazn-data.xml. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you shouldn't know this, but I feel you have to get people on a strong grounding of the concepts before showing them implementation files. If having just learned what ADF Security is will "The initialization parameter remove.anonymous.role is set to false for the JpsFilter filter as this filter is the first filter defined in the file" really going to help me?
The other theme I found which I felt didn't work was that a couple of the chapters descended into a reference guide. For example page 159 onwards basically lists UI components and their properties. And page 87 onwards list the attributes of ADF BC in pretty much the same way as the on line help or developer guide, and I've a personal aversion to any sort of help that says pretty much what the attribute name is e.g. "Precision Rule: this option is used to set a strict precision rule", or "Property Set: this is the property set that has to be applied to the attribute". Hmmm, I think I could have worked that out myself, what I would want to know in a beginners guide are what are these for, what might I use them for...and if I don't need to use them to create an emp/dept example them maybe it's better to leave them out.
All that said, would the book help me - yes it would. It's obvious that Vinod knows ADF and his style is relatively easy going and the book covers all that it has to, but I think the book could have done a better job in the educational side of guiding beginners.

Apportioned License Plate Placement
I don't know what the rules are in other states, but in Texas apportioned trucks are only issued one license plate and it is required to be placed on the front of the vehicle. This means that on a straight truck or van there is no rear license plate. This is sometimes not good, because many of the times that a member of law enforcement wants to take a look at your license plate it is from the rear. If they don't see a plate, they may pull you over just to see what the situation is. The Texas cab card clearly states that there is only one plate and it is required to be on the front of the truck, but now you are on the side of the road wasting time.
To make matters worse, in Texas there is actually a conflict in state law--i.e., there is a statute requiring all vehicles to have a plate on the rear of the vehicle, even though apportioned trucks only get one plate and it is required to be on the front of the truck. If there is a trailer, no problem, because there is a trailer plate, but there is nothing for the backs of straight trucks. Another thing that is kind of comical is that in Texas a truck must have a rear license plate light to get inspected, which is ironic in the case of an apportioned straight truck considering that there is no rear license plate to illuminate.
My response to this problem, which was at the suggestion of the Texas DOT office, is I had a novelty license plate made for the rear of my truck with the word "APPORTIONED" stamped on it in black letters on a white background in the DOT required size and font applicable to other information on the truck. They tell me this has worked well for others, and it has worked well for me so far, but it feels kind of funny back there. What the DOT people told me is that some police officers just think that there should be some kind of plate back there, even if it's not a real one, to which I responded "what if it said 'I'd rather be fishing'?" The DOT fellow said that would be fine, or, he said, maybe if I had a Ford truck I could have a license plate of that little guy peeing on the Chevy emblem. We both laughed and I walked out pretty spooked.

RE: Apportioned License Plate Placement
At one time Florida had only one plate which had to go on the front.I was stopped in Boulder Colorado and received a violation for a missing license plate. The Officer would not listen so I appealed the ticket,sent the court a letter and asked them to contact the Fl Dot,which they did and the violation was cancelled. Still cost me time and phone calls.
Now FL has a front and rear plate.
RE: Apportioned License Plate Placement
We run them on the front on tractors and one in the back on straight trucks. We keep a spare in case the extra is stolen in Brownsville or Laredo. Only stopped one time that I know of. We as well have base plates from Florida. We should sit the spare in the windshield. Not sure if that would suffice or not?

RE: Apportioned License Plate Placement
We had the same problem until I started putting the little instruction thingie for placement of the plate in with the Authorities, permits, cab cards, etc. Just saves some time and BS

RE: Apportioned License Plate Placement
Sounds to me like it might be a good idea to move the front license plate to the rear when I leave Texas and put it back when I get back home.
The Texas DOT made it clear that you only get ONE apportioned plate. I thought about making a color photocopy of it and laminating it and putting it in the rear, but that would, of course, be a counterfeit license plate, which would be a crime, so maybe I won't do that.
RE: Apportioned License Plate Placement
in ohio,it is just the opposite, the plate(one) must be displayed on the rear of a straight truck.we have only been questioned about it a few times,and that was at the U.S./CAN border.just as x06col,we keep the instuction paper for placement with our permits.DD.

Oceanic Institute CEO leaves
- Terrence Sing
After nearly eight years, Oceanic Institute CEO Tom Farewell is no longer with the organization.
Farewell's departure was announced by Executive Vice President Gary Pruder during a Monday morning meeting with staff and came unexpectedly. Pruder will be interim president while a search committee looks for a new CEO.
Farewell became president and CEO in April 1996 of the private, nonprofit research institute that specializes in marine aquaculture and biotechnology. Why and how he left remains unclear. Oceanic's board called it a personnel matter, but more details are expected to be released by 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to a company spokesman.
Farewell's extensive management and technical experience were said to have been invaluable in stabilizing and growing Oceanic Institute, which was reported to be close to insolvency when he took over.
"He basically rescued it and brought it back and built it up," according to a source close to the institute, who asked not to be identified.
Prior to Oceanic, Farewell was vice president for international programs and project management at GMP Associates Inc., a Honolulu environmental, engineering and architectural firm.
He commanded an engineer company in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969 and served 26 years in the Army Corps of Engineers, attaining the rank of colonel.

Went to the store, it was BRILLIANT!!! the staff at York were absolutely fabulous I couldn't fault them at all.
This is the reason that I would recommend shopping at Go Outdoors.
I am getting on a bit now, but the experience took me back to the training that I received as a young 16 year old shop assistant all in all FANTASTIC!!

Ready to join investigations: Zee Group chairman Subhash Chandra

Zee Group Chairman Subhash Chandra today informed police that he is prepared to appear before them in connection with the alleged extortion bid by two senior editors of his channel within four days of notice.
Delhi Police had served two notices to Chandra last month asking him to join investigations after the arrest of Zee editors Sudhir Chaudhury and Samir Ahluwalia for their alleged extortion bid of Rs 100 crore from Congress MP Naveen Jindal's company for not airing news damaging to it.
In a letter to Delhi Police through his lawyer R K Handoo, the Zee Group Chairman claimed that "vested interests" have created a public "mis-impression" that he is deliberately not joining investigations.
Terming the campaign as "vicious", "malafide" and "unwarranted", the letter said Chandra has informed police on November 27 that he went ahead with his "pre-scheduled" meetings and engagements in India and abroad.
The letter also noted that as chairman of Essel Group, he has his meetings planned nearly two months in advance and any abrupt change not only affects the schedule of other businesses but also brings disrepute to him.
"That is why to honour his commitments in India and abroad, my client had well in advance and before your arrest action, requested you to adjourn the matter till his return from overseas.
"... because of the distorted campaign unleashed by vested interests, he is prepared to reschedule and cut short his overseas engagements and shall come to India only to join the investigations at your convenience forthwith," the lawyer said in the letter.
The lawyer said the date and time be indicated to him so that Chandra can be accordingly intimated and "he shall be present before you within 96 hours of service of notice".
Investigators have told a local court earlier that they were treating him as an accused as he knew about the dealings between his employees and Congress MP Naveen Jindal's company.

inToday I have focused on most standing out store interior designs. in todays world an original outstanding interior design is important in order to compete with big-name chain retailers and because of strong retail market.. It should have brand signature, attract the right customers, stick it to season, sales, current trends, and be outstanding and original. We can see the trend of big brands moving onto high street in order to be easily accessed, large screens to display products, virtual fashion mirrors and very stylish designs.
Rodney Fitch, Professor of Retail Design states:" Trends in 2012… amid several, the two standouts for me are: firstly, the polarisation between value, expressed by price, versus value expressed by the experience. The former epitomised on the one hand by the inexorable growth of online and on the other by the rise and rise of Poundland culture, where design, except perhaps in the case of Primark, is little evident. Compared with the latter, where good design anchors the experience as in the case say, of Abercrombie + Fitch, Uniqlo or Selfridges. Second, the way innovation in retail design has moved back to New York. More exciting work on 5th and in the Village, than on Bond or Regent Streets or Spitalfields"http://www.designweek.co.uk/news/2012-review-the-year-in-retail-design/3035769.article

inFrom where the fashion trends coming from?
Trends influence our life and not just in clothing, but all things that surround us. in instance an art, design, architecture, technology… Trends are coming from everything that humankind got trough. every year the designers and artists are inspired by trends. but from where the recent trends are coming from and what do they symbolize? Is is a mother nature herself which control the whole world?
Trends are reflecting recent process, progress and development in today's society.
Can be any greater event in near future. For example World Cup in Brasil or popular movie, political or economic situations, globalization and culture, climate, increasing global population and fast growing architecture, celebrities, actors styles (good example is Beyonce's new 'visual' album and her amazing stylisation), new music genres, recent society's philosophy- 'think green', become vegetarians (footwear and clothing companies using less and less leather and fur products and replacing leather with pvc materials), digital media(blogs, news).
In the last decade the society is undergoing rapid rise in technical and scientific innovation:
Holographic Surface: I found out that its why there are trends with soft, sheer and iridescent colours in last few years. Holography is a combination of fantasy and real life, futurism and science fiction. Hi –tech gadgets containing functioning holographic qualities that appeal to be a future. Its visual complexity, 3D visualisation and advanced computer engineering will reflect on creating products- faster, more accurate and cost effective software programes for better rendering products. We might also see finished materials with inconporate holographic elements. Also 3D Hologram movies when the computer shoots the holographic pixels/'hogels' electronically to another location
3D Hologram fashion show: which creates optical illusion and breaks the rules of time and space on show that are replacing conventional presentations.
3. DNA, Molecular Structure
As long as we exist we strive to be harmonic with mother nature. New coming trends in future is Biomimicry-a biological system where artificiality, engineering and nature comes together. Its inspiration by synthetic and organic lifeforms, combination of nature and modern technology, inspiration by patterns in nature.
Its benefical to society as it means being ecologically conscious (water purification, energy needs, reduce waste on minimum,no pollution. ''Its an urge for change in the way society is consuming and directing on which way should go/think''and its about practical with time and money. 'Because of significantly increased manufacturing the society is shifting into an 'ecological age. Biomimicry means translate nature designs into solving human problems. (http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/news/frog-chooses-biomimicry-as-tech-trend-for-2012)
4. 3D Printing :
3D printing has become recently popular mainly in creative industries to produce a fast prototype for testing. However the production , material remain expensive therefore its popularity in future is questionable.

Catalunya is a region in nothern spain just south of the French boarder. The Costa Brava runs along the coast of this region with small and large coastal resorts all along. L'Escala is situated in the province of Girona. The capital of Girona offers a wide range of architecture and culture to investigate including the famous Arabic baths and Jewish quarter. The town of Figueras is only 25 mins away, famous for Salvador Dali, housing the museum of his works in the town centre.
The area enjoys a warm, gentle, Mediterranean climate, characterised by hot, dry summers and moderate winters, which explains why the beaches are a major part of the area´s attraction.
The area surrounding L'Escala provides ample opportunity for cycling, walking, visits to mountain areas or just relaxing.
Catalonia has two official languages, Catalan and Spanish. Most of the local population habitually speak Catalan, and all the population understand and can express themselves perfectly well in Spanish.

"The perfect apartment, near to the beaches and the town"
The apartment is located adjacent to a main roundabout, which at first seems to be away from town and the beaches, however, we soon discovered that once we'd crossed the road by the roundabout, the beautiful beaches of L'escala were just a leisurely 10 minute walk away at most. The town itself is a similar distance and the the location of the apartment becomes a real bonus at the end of the day, allowing us that short distance away from the beaches and the town at the end of each evening. The apartment is very well presented, very tastefully furnished and extremely well maintained. The balcony faces the sunny side of the building, overlooking an equally well maintained outside swimming pool and lawn. There's a reasonably well stocked LIDL store just 5 minutes walk from the apartment and a larger super-store another 5 minutes away. The apartments were relatively peaceful in the evenings allowing us to enjoy the balcony area and relax at the end of each day. Barcelona is a 95 minute Express train journey away; the nearest station being at Flaca', a 15-20 minute taxi ride from L'escala.
We had a great week in this apartment and in the area of L'escala itself and I would recommend this as a holiday destination
26 Mar 2012
"Fabulous apartment in a lovely part of Spain - highly recommended"
This was our third time at the apartment which is spacious and well equipped and furnished. The apartment block and pool are also very clean and quiet. Lovely sunny balcony and parking included.
Some lovely beaches within walking distance and plenty of restaurants. Nearby town of L'escala and village of Saint Marti both within walking distance and nice atmosphere in the evenings.
Would go again. Lots to do and see in the wider area also.

"A great Spanish experience"
I was joined by 4 fellow golfers and we stayed at Athenea 1 for 4 days. After a short trip from the airport it was easy to find the accommodation. They say that first impressions count. Well this is certainly true as a lot of thought had obviously gone into the layout of the apartments, the grounds and the centrally located swimming pool. The apartment was spacious, contemporary and very clean, which made it very relaxing. We played golf at Emporda, which has two fabulous golf courses. We were a pleasant walk from the town and beach and had no trouble finding decent places to eat. The food and wine was excellent as were the people. A very enjoyable break.
