BERKELEY LAKE - A well-walked stretch of road in Berkeley Lake may finally be getting a place for pedestrians to put their feet.Sidewalks are in the works for a span of North Berkeley Lake Road, from Bush Road to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. At a meeting Monday, residents will have a chance to look at a concept of the project. Alan Chapman, a deputy director of the Gwinnett Department of Transportation, said the $1.9 million project would run from city hall, at the corner of South Berkeley Lake Road and Bush Road, around the dam, and back up to North Berkeley Lake Road and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. "It will be a horseshoe around the lake," he said. The public meeting, where residents can comment on the plan, will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at Berkeley Lake Elementary School's cafeteria. After the county receives comments, the design process will begin. Construction should start in early 2009 and the project should be finished in 2010, Chapman said. The sidewalk will only be constructed on the lake side of the road. Chapman said the Berkeley Lake project is more complicated than other sidewalks because it is a hilly area and workers will need to cross the dam. Berkeley Lake Mayor Lois Salter said the sidewalks are necessary for the area because a lot of people are already walking on the road. "There's hilly and curvy terrain," she said. "People walk a lot in our area, and it's very dangerous without it." SideBar: If You Go What: Berkeley Lake sidewalk meeting When: 5 to 7 p.m. Monday Where: Berkeley Lake Elementary School cafeteria, 4300 S. Berkeley Lake Road in Duluth For more information: Call 770-822-7400

The Age-Young Question: Find a Job or Go to Grad School?
My friends and I have been talking about this for some time now, arguing for both sides depending on the day, how we are feeling about school and debt, and what others are saying about the job market.
Would love to hear what the Reset Community thinks! Any advice?
Boomerangers coming back home to live with their folks
Age old question. In this tough economy, I can see why people are going to grad school. But most grad schools are looking for work experience and may not even take you without some. Hopefully you can find a job or internship in an area you want to pursue or study. Internship may not pay in the short run, but will pay off in the long run. Here's an interesting article about kids moving back in with their parents while they are getting on their own feet after college -
You rarely get the freedom and lack of responsibility that you have when you graduate college. Work six restaurant jobs, save your sheckels and see the world. It's can be cheaper and easier than you think. It will broaden your experience and mind and make you a more informed gobal citizen.

The University of the South announced today that Johann "Chip" Manning has been appointed director of the university's Babson Center for Global Commerce, effective April 1. Manning, a Sewanee alumnus from the class of 1982, is currently senior vice president and general counsel for Central Parking System.
"I am delighted that Chip Manning has accepted appointment as the new Babson Center director," said Sewanee Vice-Chancellor John McCardell. "Chip brings to this position success in business, a wide circle of contacts, an eminently approachable personality, and, perhaps best of all, a long acquaintance with Sewanee. I look forward to welcoming him back to the Mountain and to working with him to continue to build and strengthen a Center that, under Nick Babson's able leadership, has already enriched the life of this community in so many ways."
Manning has served in his current position since May 2008. He was previously president and chief executive officer of Wolverine Tube, Inc. Manning also had been vice president of human resources and general counsel for Wolverine, and served in various legal and human resources roles with Genuine Parts Company. He was in private practice in Atlanta, Ga., earlier in his career.
"I can't think of anyone more qualified than Chip Manning to build upon the foundations already in place for the Babson Center and William Polk Carey pre-business program, and to take these programs to the next level," said Nick Babson, founding director of the Center.
After graduating from University of the South, Manning received his law degree from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University in Macon, Ga., where he was a member of the Mercer Law Review and editorial board. He received a joint MBA degree, cum laude, along with his J.D. from Mercer.
The Babson Center for Global Commerce administers co-curricular programs to provide students a wealth of business-related opportunities on and off campus, including internship opportunities and scholarships, and exposes Sewanee students to some of the best business minds in the world through its on-campus executive residencies and lecture series. Through the Wm. Polk Carey Business Program, Sewanee offers a wide range of academic and co-curricular programs to students interested in pursuing careers in business, which complement the university's traditional liberal arts curriculum.

North Dakota Rejects Religious Liberty Measure
Measure 3, rejected by two-thirds of voters, would have prohibited the state government from "burdening" religious liberty.
North Dakota voters rejected a controversial measure yesterday that would have added an amendment to the state constitution prohibiting the government from putting a "burden [on] a person's or religious organization's religious liberty." The amendment was defeated by approximately two-thirds, 64 percent to 36 percent.
Known as the Religious Liberty Restoration amendment, supporters of Measure 3 argued it would prevent attacks on religious freedom. The North Dakota Family Alliance, headed by Tom Freier, led the push to put the measure on the ballot.
"This measure would really put in place the protection for North Dakota that would make sure the people are protected, and religious organizations are protected, when and if they do need that protection," Freier told NPR last week.
But critics argued the amendment could cause unintended problems, included providing a curtain of protection for parents who abuse their children or employers who discriminate based on differences in morals and religious beliefs. Tom Fiebiger, a labor lawyer in Fargo and a former Democratic state senator, told the Christian Science Monitor the measure was too vague.
"On first blush, it looks great, but you pull back the curtain, and you see all the problems," Fiebiger told the Monitor. "It's a solution in search of a problem."
But Christopher Dodson, head of the North Dakota Catholic Conference, countered those arguments. "The measure itself says that it doesn't affect those acts which the state has a compelling interest in preventing," he told NPR. "And it's somewhat irresponsible to even imply that the state doesn't have an interest in protecting children, women and vulnerable persons."
The fight over the amendment attracted a lot of outside attention—and outside funds. According to CitizenLink, the group North Dakotans Against Measure 3 raised more than $1 million to fight the measure, with the vast majority of funds coming from out-of-state groups. (CitizenLink said its numbers came from the North Dakota Secretary of State's site, which only lists gifts greater than $200.) In contrast, Freier told CitizenLink that most of the $150,000 raised in support of the measure came from state residents.
In its report, the Christian Science Monitor noted that while many states have created some sort of religious exemption in health care since the new federal laws were enacted, only Alabama has adopted a constitutional amendment like Measure 3. However, a similar bill is currently sitting in committee in the Kentucky state senate, and a religious freedom amendment was withdrawn from the Colorado ballot last month.

Passwords have become ubiquitous in our digital way of life. Considered by some to be an outdated method of guarding access to our information, money or identity it is still the most widespread.
Given the rapid progression of technology and the extensive infiltration of digital technologies into our lifestyles you would expect that more advanced systems would be in place to guard our digital security, possibly some sort of super DNA retina fingerprint scanner would be the only bona fide way to secure our information.
But as Justin Stanford pointed out at our March Heavy Chef Session, security always has to be weighed up against the cost and convenience of the system in place. So, for now the password is the most cost effective and simplest form of protection we have and we have to make the most of it. Here is a recipe to serve up a secure kick-ass password to ensure your security:
Preparation/Context: Let's start by what not to do when creating a password. Hackers know the most common password security traps that users fall into and these are the first port of call when trying to gain access to your system.
- Don't use obvious personal information – Anyone who knows even the most basic information about you i.e. a birth date or pet's name will be able to hack your accounts.
- Don't use real and single words – Hackers have access to tools that help them guess your password. Even a tool that can try every word in the dictionary is not unheard off.
Ingredients: So, how do we create the best types of passwords?
- Make use of upper and lower case letters as well as other characters –simply put the password 'ApPLes' is more secure than 'apples' and 'aPp!35' even more secure.
- Create an acronym from a phrase – combine letters from words in a phrase to create a cluster of letters that are difficult to decipher but easy to remember. For example, 'my chair is very comfortable' could create 'yHaisRco'
- 12345… not – Keyboard patterns are also a way to create good passwords but once again don't fall into the trap of creating common combinations by using adjacent keys like '12345' or 'qwerty'. Something like ?)(lk will be difficult to crack, easy to remember and quick to type in.
- Use more than one word – Using more than one word adds a layer of complexity to the password e.g. monkeyfridge or surftower. Be careful to not use words that you often talk about or words that you can easily be associated with.
- Split words with other characters – Once you have chosen an abstract but easy to remember word like 'printersun' split the word up with symbols and numbers e.g. 'Pr13ntER93sun'. This will provide additional security.
Another useful tip Justin Stanford mentioned was to create multiple passwords for different types of sites. Create 2 or 3 different passwords and use them based on how secure the site is. So the first password can be used for accessing your bank account and similar accounts, another can be used for your email account and the third password can be used for sites like forums or other accounts that the security of the site is not guaranteed. Ideally you would want a different password for each site but practically this can be quite challenging.
In summary, the best passwords are those that have an added layer of complexity, are easy to remember but that no one would easily guess, particularly by people who know you.

Hi, I am thinking of applying to Art Center in Pasadena for the Entertainment Design programme. As an international student, basically I would apply in the hope that I receive a somewhat good scholarship, otherwise I wouldn't be able to attend. So I guess my portfolio needs to be really good. I know all of this sounds impossible but I guess I won't lose anything by trying. I have a few questions though, hope someone can answer:
- Is it necessary for the whole portfolio to be unified by a story, or can the individual pieces of artwork be based on different narratives of my invention?
- My strength is environments. Is it too bad if I have, say, 8 pages on environments and 1 on characters and vehicles? xD
- About how long does the portfolio need to be?
Any other thing you can think of, please tell. If you know of other good schools with similar programmes that might have good scholarships, I'd also appreciate that.

Yep, I know that I need to show different variations and sketches, but those aspects weren't really clear...
Couple of Art Center portfolios in there. Long thread, but if you're really interested, it's all there.
Also, if you haven't read it:
Couple of Art Center students made the book, so if you're at that level, you can probably get in with scholarships. Also, the reading is really informative.
Good luck!
I was told the entertainment design program is one of their more exclusive programs and only lets in about 20 students a semester for that program.

---- — Investing in our future
The Pharos-Tribune extends the following Rose to the A. Raymond company, owners of A. Raymond Tinnerman in Logansport:
With something close to $4 million invested over the last year, the A. Raymond family-owned company is sure leaving its mark on Logansport. And it's a good one. The company's local fastener plant once teetered on the brink of closure, but has become a competitive force in the global market since A. Raymond bought the old Elco manufacturing plant in 2009. It's gotten a facelift this spring and summer, most of it through local contractors, and plant manager Keith Holms estimates some $2.5 to 3 million more will be invested per year in the plant for the next several years. Not only does that keep business flowing into Logansport, it keeps our skilled workers employed.
Up from the ashes
The Pharos-Tribune extends this Rose to Sublette's Ribs in Monticello:
Like the song from children's favorite "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" says, "up from the ashes grow the roses of success." That seems to be the case with Sublette's Ribs in Monticello, which literally grew from the ashes of a fire June 20, 2012, that engulfed the family-owned eatery. Sublette's reopened this summer just three days before the first anniversary of the fire, thanks to friends, patrons and local businesses who helped owner Dan Sublette, his brother-in-law and his head cook rebuild. And now, Dan Sublette said business is better than he thought it would be after the prolonged closure. A big congrats to a small business overcoming such a setback.
Big steps for little feet
The Pharos-Tribune extends this Rose to area children returning to school this week:
Boarding the big yellow bus can be pretty scary, especially if you're 6 years old and it's your first time. We congratulate all the area youngsters who on Tuesday and Wednesday braved the unknown to start their first week of the 2013-14 school year. Some of you held tight to Mom, Dad, Grandma or your older sibling as you walked in the doors, and maybe some of you cried — just a little. It's okay. And some of you older kids waltzed into the hallways like it was just another day in Loganland. We're proud of you, too, and we're sure you'll keep at it till you get the chance to turn that tassel.

Likely the last remaining big-man target on the Texas basketball recruiting radar for 2010, DeSoto forward Keith Davis, who looked like a strong Texas lean earlier in the process and was talking about committing late in July, will attend Texas A&M. Offensively he is a bit of a project and there are questions about his inconsistency on that end of the court, but he is an excellent defender and rebounder at this point. He would have made a nice addition to the class for Texas and no doubt does so for A&M.

Becky, I haven't even tried to call you because I am not sure what you mean by "media watchers". If you mean that literally, I do not watch any news, so I haven't called you. For local news, I read only the Weekly, the Daily, the SF Comicle, and the San Jose Murk. For anything resembling national or international news, I read the WSJ and several trusted web-sites.
Please explain what you are looking for, and how data-driven you want your contacts to be.

Watching your car slam into another vehicle is the first sight that stops your heart. Then comes the concerns that your car insurance rates may go up.
The good news: Alabama's "Act of God" rule prohibits insurance companies from cancelling or not renewing your policy due to a weather-related accident.
"The insurance company is also prohibited from raising the policy holder's premiums at the next renewal due to the weather-related cause," says Charles Angell, Deputy Commissioner of Alabama's Department of Insurance.
But there's also news you may not want to hear. Every year insurance companies file for new rates. This year, their claims data will include all of the accidents that happened during that late January snow storm.
"So there's a possibility....the insurance companies may have to increase their basic rates across the board," Angell says.
Keep in mind, companies must use three years' worth of data to determine their rates. So that may help diminish the impact. Angell also says his department will make sure there is no price gouging.
"We don't allow any insurance company to raise rates any more than what their claim stats show," Angell stresses.
Even though the "Act of God" clause keeps companies from raising your rates, they do have the authority to revoke your "claims free" discount if you have one. It will take about six months for companies to submit the data that includes storm claims.

Hi All,
I am calling a FM from abap program. FM inserts a record in ztable. If I do NOT use commit work , still record gets saved in DB. Please help me in knowing where commit work is executed.
below is code :
Program : ZTEST
WRITE : 'calling'
call FUNCTION 'ZUPDATE' .
WRITE : 'done'.
DATA: wa type ztest.
wa-roll = '80'.
wa-name = 'test'.
insert ztest from wa.
Hi Jitendra,
Can u share code inside FM ZUPDATE...
Hi Jitendra,
This is due to the implicit commit. Read about SAP LUW.
As well as the COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK statements, there are other situations where data is implicitly written to the database or rolled back, and where database LUWs therefore begin and end.
Hi Jitendra ,
This above is just a custom function module which you have created normally without update task and not remote enabled function module also.
When you create a function module with update task the commit work makes the difference.
The below screen shots give better idea .
With Regards,
Sudhir S
Hi Jitendra Soni,
as suggested, read the help.
Shortly taken: Every interruption of a running program (screen processing, message output, RFC call or regular program end) triggers a so-called implicit database commit.
ABAP COMMIT WORK triggers execution of update modules (functions called 'IN UPDATE TASK'), and execution of PERFORM ON COMMIT.
Don't worry - also very experienced users just do not understand this.
Hi Clemens,
So suppose, I have
INSERT INTO zsflight VALUES wa_zsflight.
The new row is inserted immediately after this statement (I checked this in the debugger). It does not wait until it encounters a COMMIT WORK statement.
From your post, I understand that this is because of an implicit COMMIT that gets triggered whenever there is an interruption.
So in the above INSERT statement, what is causing that interruption? There is no screen change, there is no message, no RFC...Also the insertion of the new row happened before the program even ended (as mentioned earlier, I checked this while the prog was in debugger mode). What is the cause of this implicit COMMIT?
Another question I have is - when would an explicit COMMIT WORK statement be necessary?
Thanks for your time and effort.
If you are using the old debugger you are performing lot of implicit db_commit. (Cause the debug used to be executed in same session)
In old versions documentation, there was the following warning in documentation
Never use the debugging function in a production system. Use it only in those test systems in which a potential data inconsistency is unimportant. The problem: the debugging facility can force an unwanted database commit, which may result in inconsistent data in the database.
Hi Raymond,
Thanks for the reply.
I was using the new debugger. So does the warning you mentioned, apply even to the new debugger? Will it cause implicit commits?
Thanks for your time and effort.
The new debugger should not generate db commit, how did you check that the data was inserted in database, did you use another small report performing a SELECT bypassing buffer or a toll like SE16(n) ?
The data will be commit-ed in database at first implicit commit, like when displaying a screen at the end of the program.
Its pretty simple concept of synchronous and asynchronous processing of data.
If the update is synchronous, you do not need to write a commit work as this is done by implicit commit. Remember execution comes back to the calling program.
If the update is asynchronous, like any update using a BAPI, then you have to write explicitly commit to make the system understand that the values are to be written to database now.
If the update is synchronous, you do not need to write a commit work as this is done by implicit commit. Remember execution comes back to the calling program.
How does implicit commit make an update synchronous?

Hi Venkat,
Implicit commit has no role in making a process synchronous or asynchronous.. Rather its the other way. If you are updating database in any synchronous process, it does not matter you write commit work or not. Data will be written to database because the commit work is executed implicitly for synchronous processes. However, in asynchronous processes you have to write explicitly commit as there are no internal sessions or transaction calls or any other change which may cause an implicit commit.
Get some info from sap help on LUWs & how types of function modules work - Normal, Update & RFC. This will give some more clarity to this concept of commit work.
Hi Anubhav,
Get some info from sap help on LUWs & how types of function modules work - Normal, Update & RFC. This will give some more clarity to this concept of commit work.
Thanks for the tip, Maybe you too should have a look .
If you actually want to "control" the update via commit work and not an implicit database commit :
- change function module Z_UPDATE and declare it as an update module.
- change main program with
call FUNCTION 'Z_UPDATE' IN UPDATE TASK.
then executing COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK or none of those.
Inside the FM 'Z_UPDATE' the insert statement will perform an implicit commit. Hence the explicit commit statement COMMIT WORK not needed here.

One of the lasting images from last year's playoffs came in arguably the most shocking result. The Broncos were 7½-point home underdogs to the Steelers, and found a way to force overtime. We all know what happened next: On the first play of overtime, Tim Tebow threw a strike to Demaryius Thomas, who outraced the Steelers' secondary 80 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
The Steelers will get their chance at revenge right away, though they can't get it against Tebow. Pittsburgh returns to Denver for the first time since their wild-card playoff loss in Week One. The rematch will be the first "Sunday Night Football" game of the season and our first chance to see Peyton Manning's return to the regular season.
Here's a look at the last seven times a Week One matchup featured a rematch of a playoff game from the previous postseason.
1. Steelers vs. Ravens / 2011 — Baltimore took full advantage of its early opportunity for revenge over its bitter rival. The Steelers had knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs in the divisional round the previous season in a 31-24 thriller. Eight months later, the Ravens stomped all over Pittsburgh by virtue of a 35-7 win. Ray Rice rushed for 107 yards and Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes. That sparked Baltimore's run to first place in the AFC North.
2. Vikings vs. Saints / 2010 — The rematch of the high-scoring NFC championship game turned out to be a low-scoring start to the NFL season in 2010. The Thursday-night opener went to the Saints 14-9. The Vikings returned to the Superdome, where they had just missed out on a chance to advance to the Super Bowl the previous January. New Orleans held the Vikings to 253 yards in the rematch after allowing 475 yards in the conference title game. The Saints marched back to the playoffs and Minnesota finished 6-10.
3. Patriots vs. Jets / 2007 — The Patriots dominated the highly anticipated playoff matchup pitting ex-Patriots assistant Eric Mangini against Bill Belichick in the 2006 wild-card round, winning 37-16 after outscoring the Jets 20-6 in the second half. Those Pats fell in the AFC title game to the Colts and then began the 2007 season with their rivals, Gang Green. In the first of 18 consecutive victories, the Patriots rolled 38-14. In Randy Moss' first game as a Pat, he had nine catches for 183 yards and a touchdown. The Jets went 4-12 that season and the Patriots lost in the Super Bowl.
4. Eagles vs. Falcons / 2005 — In the first "Monday Night Football" game of 2005, the Falcons got to hand it to Philly for knocking them out of the playoffs in the 2004 NFC championship game. The Eagles routed the Falcons 27-10, before falling to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. In the rematch, the Falcons got off to a 14-0 lead and held the Eagles off, winning 14-10. Michael Vick had 68 rushing yards and a seven-yard touchdown run. Neither team made the '05 playoffs, however.
5. Colts vs. Patriots / 2004 — The Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady matchup became an annual affair in the past decade, and in '04 the two AFC powerhouses opened the season on Thursday night in Foxborough. Eight months earlier, the Patriots had defeated the Colts 24-14 in the AFC title game, thanks in part to five Adam Vinatieri field goals. In the rematch, Brady threw for 335 yards and three TDs in a 27-24 win. Those two teams would meet again in the divisional round of the '04 playoffs, and the Patriots won that game as well, 20-3, en route to another Super Bowl title.
6. Raiders vs. Titans / 2003 — In the 2002 AFC championship game, Raiders QB Rich Gannon accounted for four TDs (three passing, one rushing) in a 41-24 win over the Titans. In the rematch, Tennessee got revenge with a 25-20 win, and that began a tumultuous season for the Raiders, who finished 4-12 following their Super Bowl appearance. The Titans, on the other hand, went 12-4 and won the AFC South.
7. Buccaneers vs. Eagles / 2003 — The defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers opened the '03 season on "Monday Night Football" against the Eagles, whom they defeated in the NFC championship game the previous season. The Eagles couldn't muster a point as they attempted to get revenge for their 27-10 loss. The Bucs held Philly to 245 total yards in Week One, defeating the Eagles 17-0. However, the Bucs stumbled to a 7-9 record and the Eagles went 12-4 and won the NFC East.

Phew, what an intense outstanding listen this was as Jake and Tru 's difficult relationship continues it's roller coaster emotional journey and you can't help but totally fall in love with Jake and sympathise with Tru's insecurities. But despite everything life throws at them, they hold on to each other and are determined to beat everything for the sake of true love and you, the listener, become captured hour by hour as their story slowly deliciously unfolds.
I heard and held every single word in reverence as their intense love story resumes and it takes the listener on such highs and lows as Chapter after Chapter unfolds to reveal the joy, sorrow, sexual pleasures, anger, humor, passion, love, heartache, shock and sheer desperation as their tumultuous love affair is tested over and over again. Then the couple endure the ultimate crushing impact and will their relationship finally be tested far beyond it's limits or can true love, at last, save the day.
Samantha Towle effortless weaves the plot and characters together to produce a magical romantic listen that will be very hard to forget and Justine Eyre's narration breathes life, feelings and depth into each and every character so together they will make you smile, laugh, sigh, cry and want to fly with the sheer joy of it.
I wish I had listened to book 1 again and then gone straight into this for the ultimate experience however I didn't but if you haven't already downloaded book 1 then I suggest you do that. Not a stand alone listen.
Worth a credit? It's well worth a credit - even 2 (but shhh don't tell Audible), a great addition to My Library and a definite re listen at some point.
What a great start to a whole new Vampire world where they, and Werewolves, walk freely amongst us humans. New myths, cultures, lores, creatures and amazing characters are slowly unfolded as the story and romance nicely progresses.
Handsome, sexy, drool-worthy Angel, ahhh, Angel he's a Rock God and, along with his fellow Band members, are all Vampires but there's no groupies or darkness they all just seem pretty normal (with a few quirks) and he is also California's Clan Leader over the Vampires. Brea is a feisty when angry redheaded Waitress who fears the paranormals but when she's about to take Angel's order one night and their eyes lock it's the start of something life altering for both of them. Delicious scenes unfold as Angel proves his weakness for Brea.
Great romance, sex, an evil villain or two who want Angel's job, a Vampire serial murderer, thrills, intrigue, suspense, fights, funny bits and some interesting, loveable and amusing secondary characters all get tossed into this enjoyable listen. Narrator's voice for Angel's character was just so sexy.
Worth a credit? I thought I had become a bit tired of Vampire romances..... but, after this, I was very wrong so DJ please keep em coming and YES creditworthy and a 'lighter' side to Vamps.
This is a light, fairly fluffy Contemporary romance about 6 Billionaires who have formed a Secret Society to help in their business ventures and to meet to play Poker. However, the single members are now dwindling and this story is about the 4th Billionaire to eventually give in to love's pull.
Griffin is a snobby jerk who is treated like a King and is a member of royalty back in his home country and that's where he's headed but he needs a temporary Assistant. Maylee is a no-nonsence down-to-earth hillbilly type and, at first Griffin hates everything about her. But slowly, as he gets to know her…. well you know what's gonna happen and the simmering attraction finally (and eventually) led to a few sex scenes and a romance. Narration was slow and I didn't like Griffin's upper crust accent.
Worth a credit? This is the first one of the series that I couldn't connect to the characters or believe in their romance. Yes it was funny and Maylee was likeable but Griffin's character growth never happened until near the end and the sex was blah so for those reasons I would have to say not worth my credit but if you're in the mood for a Contemporary, fun, unbelievable plot, or if you're following the series, then go for it. They could all be stand-alone listens.
After JEM's This Man trilogy I thought we'd seen the best of her imaginative, emotion filled, erotic and twisted love stories but this, phew, this was a very highly charged ride through the attraction and passion of two mentally tortured people's lives and the people who surround them. And, as their lives both inevitably entwine, the listener is gifted with troubled waters of secrets, insecurities, drama, obsession, heartache, more secrets, revelations, suspense and lots and lots of intrigue.
No words can describe just how emotional this book is as it's flawed characters are loveable in their own way and very needy of each other but the many twists that fate deals them can result in only one thing..... DEVASTATION. And that's how I felt at the end of the raw bitter cliffhanger, an open mouthed shocked gasp as yet another twist was oh so cleverly tossed in.
Worth the credit? I am writing this Review knowing I'm going to be late for a shopping trip with a friend but I just had to get my words and feelings out about this listen whose character's lives has only let me get about 2 hours sleep because I didn't want to stop the intense mystery with a destination unknown, damaged characters and a deep unhealthy, yet compelling, love story. I would have gladly used two credits on this listen, so YES very creditworthy and, if book 2 is out in print, I'm even considering READING, yes actually reading it, because the storyline and characters are just that gripping. If you get this listen be prepared to become a Malpas groupie and what a great team she, and Edita Brychta made.
What I was expecting was a MC badass biker gang, hot sex, old ladies, patches and some hot Alpha type guys. However, what I got was mainly a Murder/Mystery with a Hero who had once formed an easy going innocent Biker Club (now disbanded) with friends when they were all much younger. Now he's sure one of those friends had just been murdered.
Vince is a tattooed, sexy, drool-worthy hard-ass Alpha type who's been in trouble before, he's got a dirty mind and a mouth to match it and he's got quick and snappy dialogue too and when he sees Kim he knows he wants her in the worst (or best) way. He denied the romance but was all in for the desire and sex but it was interwoven with the main plot line of murders, cover-ups, mystery, suspense, with paranormal visions, a few hot sex scenes, some interesting secondary characters and eventually the I love you's happened but I just didn't feel any romance.
Narrator had a very gravelly voice like he'd smoked 40 a day so his female voices suffered for it.
Worth a credit? This had a bit too much murder/mystery to the plot than I personally like and the plot line doesn't conclude but will continue in further books but I don't think I'll be following this series, not because it's not good, but because it just doesn't 'fit' with my own personal romantic taste.
A listen that instantly drew me into all the characters lives but especially the relationship between the confident and feisty Hayley and the handsome self-made Billionaire Daniel as their mutual attraction flares and ignites into a love affair that starts off funny but rocky, has an all consuming middle but ends up sad and rocky again.
There's drama as Daniel has a frustrating Jekyll and Hyde personality, heartache, not very graphic sex scenes (unfortunately!!) and witty banter between all the characters but the main plot is the courtship of Hayley by Daniel. The sexual need for each other is always there from the start but Hayley has to match, or overcome, Daniel's wit, temper and quick mind for their relationship to work.
Worth a credit? Once I started listening I was hooked in this couple's nicely developing relationship which was intense, funny, sweet, emotional and tender but was left on an expected frustrating cliffhanger ending. Narration was good, it was very enjoyable and definitely worth the credit.
It's not often that I can't finish a book but.... I suddenly thought "what am I doing listening to this crap when there's so many good books out there waiting to be heard" and I just didn't want to waste any more of my time on it. The sound effects were intermittent and distracting, Gabriel Storm's voice was more like Prince Charles and not a sexy young handsome guy (as per the cover) and his character was just awful. The writing was very weak i.e. his Father had a 'brain' stroke - well is there any other type! So I skipped to the last chapter to see how it ends and what do you know.... it's a CLIFFHANGER - well sorry but I don't care what happens and won't be getting book 2.
Worth a credit? No, not in this lifetime and even if it was free I wouldn't want it so sadly I'll be asking for my credit back on this one.
It's always very hard to say goodbye to various loveable characters whose lives have entertained you by day, by night and into the wee small hours of early dawn but the Heart Of Stone trilogy captured me in it's intricate web until the very last word had been spoken.
KM Scott threw everything into this book… thrills, chills, danger, romance, passion, sex, lots of heartache, twists, surprises, suspense and character growth. Even the Epilogue wasn't safe as there was a twist to that too. Brilliant.
Narrators added to the story too.
Worth a credit? If you haven't already discovered this trilogy about an arrogant, handsome, sexy, rich Billionaire called Tristan and Nina the strong, but gentle, woman who saved him then you lucky people are able to go from one book to another without having that terrible, and annoying, gap in the whole flow of the story. Worth the credit…. Hell YEAH every one of them.
It didn't end up that way as Manny gave Rose more than just a helping hand.... hope for a future. Great character development, powerful chemistry, loveable H/H, likeable additional cast of characters, humor, a slow building love story, some angst and plenty of sexy times makes this a must have addition to The Lonely Kings series.
Worth a credit? Yes definitely and I'm eagerly looking forward to who's next to find love after the shocking Epilogue.
I've just gone through about 9 hours of tension, heartbreak and drama followed by about 15 minutes of joy...... and I wouldn't change a thing because this was a well-written, tough, raw, touching and very emotional love story that morphs into one of grief and suffering that loss brings, followed by hope, forgiveness and finally redemption.
It's not the usual 'feel good' romance but a bitter-sweet one as it continually takes you backwards 6 years slowly feeding you bits of the history of young forbidden love and the devastating consequences that followed then forward to the heartache of a present day relationship where one lover can only offer sex as his shattered heart has no more to give and the other lover hangs on because she want it all.
Worth a credit? If you're in the mood for a totally different kind of love story.... one that will wring out so many different emotions from you like hope, happiness, grief, pain and anguish and back again, and then finally gives you a HEA ending, then this book is for you. Creditworthy only if you're ready for a torturous, but beautiful, ride.
I'm not a fan of the 'instant' in a romance book and, as the mixed up and still grieving Allison accidentally meets a handsome, kind, thoughtful and caring Damien it's instant attraction, followed closely by lust, sex and love which was all very touching and cute. But as the story develops so too does the mystery, suspense, intrigue and danger. Damien is haunted by an unresolved tragic event in his past which makes him cold, emotionless and snappy to others but with Allison it comes out as possessive and an over-the-top caring for her happiness and welfare and later we're given the heartbreaking reason why he's so protective over her.
At first the Heroine comes across as a little too young, sickly sweet and naive however the unfolding psychological drama (together with a six-pack wielding, handsome, rich, Alpha Hero) makes up for it. A mixed bag of secondary characters and somewhere in amongst them is a delusional murderer, the sex scenes were romantic, there was a lot of character and plot development and the love story was sometimes challenged but remained sweet.
However, although the romance didn't have a cliffhanger.... the Epilogue certainly did which suggests things aren't going to be the HEA for the H/H after all. Narration was ok but, IMHO, Allison's voice sounded a bit too young.
Worth a credit? It was a lukewarm listen to begin with but the romance, plot twists, questions and action soon kicked in so YES creditworthy and I need to know just who the villain in the story is so I guess I'll be using another credit to find out.

Since the players meeting the Kings have gone 2-2 with a point differential of +16. What's changed, and what do you expect from here?

Over analyzing the situation...
I expect to see them keep playing like they are. We're playing at the level that I thought we could play at, at the start of the season. 2-2 is .500. That's good enough for me at this point. Let's keep it going!!!
The offense looks a lot more cohesive. Less iso, and less James Johnson taking shots.
2014 Adopt-a-Packer: Micah Hyde
Next we'll say, the Kings are 4-2 since Tyreke switched from generic to charmin! Or, 2-4 since Cousins got ejected...
It has more to do with the X's and O's of the game and lineups than a players meeting holding players accountable.

Correlation does not always equal causation.
I believe this quote can apply.
So Anna, what do you think about the notion that Russell Wilson is better than Andrew Luck?"[He's] a really complete player... There's not really any weaknesses to his game." - Bill Belichick on Andrew Luck
"Luck has the most diverse skill set of any NFL quarterback" - Ron Jaworski on Andrew Luck being a top 5 QB
Before the players meeting, we looked like crap. We didn't even look like we were trying. The next game after the meeting, we looked way better.
I'm not saying our good play as of late has everything to do with the players meeting, but it definitely played a part, in my opinion.
If it was just Smart, I'm sure the players wouldn't have a meeting on performance.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim isn't available on the Mac yet, but odds are that if you're a big fan of gaming, you're probably already playing it on consoles or the PC. Bethesda's latest role-playing game is just a massive piece of world-building, with tons of dungeons to crawl through, a huge world full of cities and places to explore, and a collection of a couple hundred actual in-game books that you can pick up and read.
Turns out those books come straight from a plain text file in the game's documents, so a blogger named Capaneus has kindly assembled them into an actual ebook that you can download and read on your iPad (or any other e-reader or app you happen to use). The book's got its own cover and table of contents, and since its available in epub format, you can change the text to whatever size you want.
Good deal. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is legal. Bethesda undoubtedly owns the copyright on these texts, and they likely didn't authorize them being shared like this. Still, all of this text is just background lore on the game, not spoilery or anything, so maybe they'll let it fly as a nice promotion for just how densely packed with fun content this game has.

2013 Pac-12 opponents announced, Arizona to miss Stanford, Oregon State
Each team played the rest of the conference in a round robin-style schedule, leading to an obvious and uncontested champion at the end of the year.
After all, everyone played a similar schedule, so what would there be to complain about?
Then Colorado and Utah came in and messed things up.
The addition of the two schools caused a shakeup in the scheduling, with each school now missing two from the other division.
For Arizona, that meant no dates with California and Washington State the last two years.
Next year they'll welcome both of those schools back onto the docket, but at the expense of both Oregon State and Stanford.
ESPN.com's Ted Miller broke down the conference opponents for every Pac-12 school, and here's what he had for the Wildcats:
Home: ORE, UCLA, UTAH, WSU.
Away: ASU, CAL, COLO, USC, WASH
Miss: Oregon State, Stanford
Both Oregon State and Stanford are top-25 teams this year, so Arizona looks to have caught a break this season with regards to conference scheduling.
The Wildcats were already slated to visit UNLV and host the University of Texas San Antonio as part of the out of the non-conference schedule.
In comparison, Arizona State will not play Oregon or California next season.

Two arrests have been made in a shooting that left one man dead on November
6, 2012 in the 3100 block of Wyandotte Street.
The shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. Two men were shot and were taken
to the hospital. One of the victims, 34-year-old Derrick Marioneaux, died and
the other had moderate injuries, according to Baton Rouge police. The man with
moderate injuries was suspected to be one of the men trying to shoot
Baton Rouge Police say the man injured, now identified as 21-year-old Juan
Hebert, was accidentally shot by one of the other shooters. When he was
released from the hospital, he was arrested and charged with first degree
A second shooter, a 14-year-old boy, was also arrested for the shooting
death of Marioneaux.
Police have also issued an arrest warrant for a third shooter, 20-year-old
Benjamin Bailey, for his involvement in the shooting.

Q: Should I take ENGL0110 my first semester/year? Or should I first take a course in the area of my concentration interest?
A: Taking ENGL0110 your first semester will give you a good background in the skills of critical reading and writing helpful in other academic courses. If you are reasonably competent at critical reading and writing, however, taking other lower-level courses in English should give you what you need and/or help you to assess your writing abilities so that you can choose a writing course that more precisely meets your needs.
Q: How can I determine if I should take ENGL0110 or ENGL0130? Can my AP scores or my SAT scores guide me in choosing a writing course? If I have already had analytical writing instruction in high school and have written relatively long research papers, why should I take a writing course at Brown?
A: ENGL0110 will instruct you in the concepts and methods of critical inquiry, whereas ENGL0130 (which deals more with individual research) requires a higher level of writing competency. Although high scores in standardized tests demonstrate knowledge and competence, the specific demands of university writing often differ from those evaluated by standardized tests.
Q: If I am interested in concentrating in English, should I take a writing course, or should I take one of the introductory topics courses prior to taking a writing course?
A: Concentrating in English requires a good background in critical reading and writing. If you are reasonably competent at critical reading and writing, taking an introductory topic course first will help you learn more about your strengths and weaknesses as a writer. You will then be able to choose a writing course that more precisely meets your needs.
Q: For which section of ENGL0110 should I register?
A: Read the individual descriptions for each section and choose the one that interests you the most. The number of sections offered allows you to choose a section that works well with the rest of your schedule.
Q: As an ESL student, how can I determine my preparedness for writing at Brown? Can my GCE scores serve as a guideline for assessing my writing abilities?
A: Although high GCE scores reflect competence in the English language, ESL students benefit from the intensity of individual writing instruction. Courses such as ENGL0110 and ENGL0130 will familiarize you with the practices of writing in an American university.
Q: My concentration requires that I take two English courses. Which courses will fulfill that requirement?
A: You must check with your department to see what is required.
Q: How do I submit a writing sample for a course that requires one?
A: For nonfiction writing courses that require a writing sample, individual instructors have different requirements; these will be explained on the first day of class.
Q: What are the differences between ENGL0180 and ENGL1180? How will I know if I am capable of handling the more advanced course?
A: As an advanced writing course, ENGL1180 requires a high level of competence in writing and a working familiarity with creative nonfiction. As a prerequisite, students must take a 100-level writing course before they are admitted to a 1000-level one course.

How many of you have had the incredible opportunity to experience Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock desert? Each year the photos prove that it's something everyone should experience just once. Burning Man Festival is a pop-up city so incredible that tens of thousands of people return to the desert each year to be part of this and cut themselves off from civilization.
This year marked the 26th anniversary which was a huge success, per usual. The Temple (above) is one of the most picture-perfect modern art installations of the entire festival.
Artists, techies, hippies, dreamers, corporate professionals and children attend Burning Man. Many are involved not just during this week long adventure, but year round. Whether building, creating, or investing the community invests many hours throughout the year to make their vision come to life.
This art installation titled La Llorona rests on the Playa as if it's been shipwrecked here for years. Nautical themed accessories are great not only for the home, but apparently for the desert as well.
There are many simple words that when seen standing alone in the desert have a whole new meaning. Love and community are at the core of this festival and you can't walk away from it without being impacted.
As the darkness falls, the fire lights up the skies over this pop-up city. Not nearly the same effect, using cool outdoor lighting will help you see without burning down the neighborhood.
This installation called Burn Wall Street is a political piece with a neutral point of view. A piece like this takes about 50 people, three months, and $100,000 to build. Talk about dedication.
Of course, Burning Man wouldn't be complete without its infamous "burning of the Man" ceremony, an interactive spectacle that involves dancers, music, fire and the destruction of a giant statue of a man and a corresponding temple.
Is Burning Man on your bucket list...because it's definitely on mine! If you want a little taste of Burning Man check out Decompression in your city or stay updated with this year round calendar.

Not sure about you, but I find inspiration everywhere! Lately, I'm finding inspiration in posters. This could be due to how excited I am for all my fave shows to be coming back this month, including Once! The set design is amazing!
What sort of style do you pull out of this poster? I see modern glam, all the way! I put together a little round-up based on my inspired design style. The black and white palette detailed with crystal and mirror is super glam. And how can you not add a hint of red for accent?!

Yes, stairs can get you from one level to the next, but that's not all the modern stairway design can do! They can be more like sculptural works of art when architects think outside the box, which can make going from one level to the next so much more fun! Whether you choose wood (above), steel, concrete, or glass creating an innovative and beautiful stairway design will make a huge impact in any modern home.
This modern steel staircase (above) gives the appearance of walking through a black box that floats just above the room. And just look at how beautifully the bold black contrasts against the natural materials, but still feels very light and airy. If you don't want to add a stairway or change your current one, black accent furniture can create that visual pop in a space.
Poured concrete stairs mixed with solid block treads create a very organic feel for a modern home (above). This is a great idea for a modern home where the stairs become shelves used to display books and modern home decor. When you think about the alternative for this creative stairway design, there's not much. The architect could have built a wall and made a closet underneath or had an odd area under the stairs... nah. This is a much better option!
A glass staircase does an amazing job of not obstructing the view in this gorgeous outdoor setting (above). The greenery shines through the glass as you view the garden below. This might be a little scary for some, but is stunning nonetheless!
When you think outside the box magic happens!

One of the most sought after locations to live is along the picturesque Pacific Coast of Southern California. Residences on either side of the Los Angeles Pacific Coast Highway easily qualify as "dream" homes and feature award winning architecture. The interiors deserve just as much praise, designed full of chic furnishings and beautiful accessories by talented designers. Let's take a look at just a few of these smart and sophisticated structures overlooking the Pacific.
The Blair Home (above), designed by Architect Bruce Bolander, sits on top of the Malibu hills with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Concrete and steel are the ideal building materials for this contemporary structure, while minimal furnishings keeps the space cool and open.
Some of these swanky coastal homes don't sit on the edge of a cliff, yet still offer a bit of paradise. Malibu West tract homes provide the ideal mid-century modern dwelling for a more understated way of life in this luxurious neighborhood. According to the L.A. Times article, the 200 structures were designed in both traditional and contemporary styles to give the buyer an option, but architects Nisan Matlin and Eugene Dvoretzky favored their contemporary designs. They referred to the open space plans as Post and Beam construction.
The exterior architecture is not the only eye-catching element of these beautiful PCH homes. This modern living room overlooking the Pacific provides a chic yet comfortable retreat for its celebrity owner. The modern floor lamp will clearly only need to be used during the evening hours because there is no shortage of natural light here.
It's hard not to get distracted while driving along the PCH with amazing sites on both sides of the highway. So, next time you are in the area, park your car and take a nice bike ride around this amazing neighborhood that stretches for several miles. There will be no shortage of striking architecture and you will undoubtedly set your dreams in motion.
