Hey literal addicts!

Keep up with Jess online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Hunted by the Others
H&W INVESTIGATIONS Book #1

Shiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm - if it doesn't kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York's most powerful vampires. As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend - a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing - and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil - whether she likes it or not…
Taken by the Others

Once, New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest's most pressing problem was keeping her agency afloat. Now she's dealing with two dangerous, seductive vampires who have been enemies for centuries. The only thing Max Carlyle and Alec Royce agree on is that they both want Shia–for very different reasons.
Max is determined to destroy Shia for killing his progeny, while Royce's interest is a lot more personal. That's not sitting well with Shia's werewolf boyfriend, Chaz. As the feud between Max and Royce gets ever more deadly, a powerful vampire-hunting faction is urging Shia to join their side. Shia has always believed vamps were the bad guys, but she's discovering unexpected shades of grey that are about to redefine her friends, her loyalties–and even her desires…
Deceived by the Others

They're here, and they're real…werewolves, vampires, mages, and other creatures of the night. For New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest, taking care of Others business started out as a way to stay solvent. But now business is getting very, very complicated…
Shiarra's relationship with sexy werewolf Chaz may be somewhat unconventional. Still, after a few bumps, Shia is finally ready to get serious. That means meeting family—or in this case, bringing Chaz's entire werewolf pack along for a rollicking full-moon weekend in the Catskills.
Soon after they arrive, threatening notes appear, warning Chaz to go home. Then their cabin is ransacked. Shia starts digging to find out whether it's the work of upstart teenaged werewolves or something more sinister. Yet as rumors about her vampire connections arouse the pack's hostility, Shia has to contend with other dangers. Not just from an adversary about to make his fatal intentions known, but from a threat that's even closer than she knows…
Stalking the Others
H&W INVESTIGATIONS Book #4

Once, she was one of the good guys–or as close as a New York P.I. can get. Then Shiarra Waynest was drawn into the world of the Others. Every faction has its own loyalties and agenda. And Shia's recent betrayal by her ex-boyfriend means that she may be on the verge of becoming a rogue werewolf at the next full moon. Of course, with all the threats against her, Shia's not sure she'll live long enough to find out. The enigmatic vampire Royce wants her back in his clutches, as do two powerful werewolf packs, along with the police. Instead of going into hiding, Shia is enlisting the aid of her enchanted hunter's belt and every dirty P.I. trick she knows. If she's going down, she'll take out as many of her enemies as she can–and hope that in the process, she keeps whatever humanity she has left…
Forsaken by the Others
H&W INVESTIGATIONS Book #5

The Others–vampires, werewolves, things that go chomp in the night–don't just live in nightmares anymore. They've joined with he mortal world. And for private investigator Shiarra Waynest, that means mayhem…
Have a one night stand with a vampire, and you can end up paying for it for eternity. P.I. Shiarra Waynest, an expert on the Others, knows that better than most. Yet here she is, waking up beside charismatic vamp Alec Royce with an aching head…and neck. Luckily, Shia has the perfect excuse for getting out of town–namely, a couple of irate East Coast werewolf packs who'd like to turn her into a chew toy.
On Royce's suggestion, Shia temporarily relocates to Los Angeles. But something is rotten–literally–in the state of California, where local vampires are being attacked by zombies. Who could be powerful enough to control them–and reckless enough to target the immortal? Following the trail will lead Shia to a terrifying truth, and to an ancient enemy with a personal grudge…
Enslaved by the Others
H&W INVESTIGATIONS Book #6

Buy from Amazon / B&N / BAM / Other
As a New York P.I. and Other specialist, Shiarra Waynest has been in plenty of trouble before. But waking up in a windowless room the prisoner of a vampire slave trader is a shock for anyone. Shia has her wits, her bravado, and a couple of used staples, so maybe she can take on a mansion full of serious evil.
But although she's desperate to escape, Shia needs some answers too. Her friends are in danger. There are betrayers and spies among them. And even if she can figure out what's going on and somehow get a message out, she's still a captive of the worst kind…
Intrigued? You should be! Make sure to check them out…
Now, let's find out some more about Jess.
LITERAL ADDICTION: Hi Jess! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to drop by and spend some time with us. I'm so happy to have you here today!
JESS: I'm thrilled to be here! Thanks so much for inviting me over. I've brought cookies.
LITERAL ADDICTION: I always start by getting to know our guest V.I.P author a little bit better…
1) Can you tell us 3 things about yourself – no matter how random - that we couldn't find out easily on the Internet
JESS: Three things, huh? Let's see…
First off, I have bouts of horrible stage fright. Knees knocking together, hands shaking, dry mouth, the whole nine yards.
Second, to get over said horrible stage fright, I used to push myself to do acting (stage plays, not TV or movies, if that's what you're thinking) and to sing. Mostly karaoke. On rare occasions, I still do.
And last, but certainly not least, at the height of my attempts to handle my stage fright I took some crazy pills and decided to be a backup singer in a blues band. Before the band broke up, we once performed in front of thousands of people for a big event. I almost passed out from stage fright, but I still got up there and did my best.
Oh, and the lead singer of our band was later among the top 30 contestants on the first season of American Idol.
The more you know, huh?
2) What are 2 things that always make you smile, and 2 things that never fail to piss you off?
JESS: Two things that always make me smile are new books added to my library and that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where Heath Ledger starts singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"
Two things guaranteed to piss me off are people who pick on my friends or family, and traffic. Though you'd think after living in Los Angeles for 20 years, I would have gotten over my road rage.
3) Was there anyone (or anything) that was directly involved with your drive to become an author?
JESS: I had a teacher who ripped my work to shreds in college. He killed my desire to write for a number of years.
When I started writing again, it was only for myself. I had no intention of ever letting anyone read what was turning into HUNTED BY THE OTHERS, but a friend (who also happened to be a coworker at the time) was digging in my purse and found a printout of the first chapter. She proceeded to beg me for more, and was a big part of my motivation to write a chapter or more a day until the first draft was done.
After I finished the book, she pushed me to get it published. Until that point, I had given up hope of being a novelist, but she rekindled my desire and kept nudging me in that direction until I started looking for an agent. I think you know how the rest of the story goes!
4) Let's play a game… You are the heroine of the last book you read, being chased by the antagonist of the one before, and end up in the arms of the hero from the one before that. What's the scenario?
JESS: (I've got to say, there's no way in hell I would want to be the heroine of the last book I read. Instead, I'll go ahead and write a scene for this one…)
Holly Gray panted in terror as she dashed from room to room, slamming the doors behind her even though she knew it wouldn't hold off her assailant for long. Not when he could simply walk through the walls.
She screamed and backpedalled as the apparition swam into visibility in the hallway in front of her. Roy still had a cigarette clenched between his teeth, even though as a ghost he had no hope of lighting the cancer stick that was just as translucent as his twisted, wretched features.
"Someone call for the Ghostbusters?"
Holly straightened and held out a hand to warn the newcomer back. "Watch out for that sodding Weeping Angel wannabe! He plays dirty!"
Ryan Stone adjusted his baseball cap and hefted his bat, nodding at the ghost making ready to charge. "Sounds like fun. Let's play ball…"
(In order of appearance, this poetic license was brought to you by:
Holly Gray from HUBBLE BUBBLE by Jane Lovering
Roy from HAUNTED ON BOURBON STREET by Deanna Chase
Ryan Stone from DARE YOU TO by Katie McGarry)
5) If you could spend the day with anyone – alive, dead, fictional, etc – with whom would you want to spend it, and what would you want to do?
JESS: I would want to spend the day with C.S. Friedman and pick her brain about the Coldfire Trilogy. Those books astound me with their depth and intricate world-building.
Not to mention ask her how she came up with the hotness of the Hunter. Oh, Gerald Tarrant. You evil bastard, you. I love me a good villain who works with and gets under the skin of the good guys.
I suppose that's part of why I love Crowley from Supernatural so much, too.
6) Do you have any interesting writing quirks or a specific routine you must follow to begin your writing process?
JESS: I prefer to fly by the seat of my pants. If I'm forced to give an outline when working on fiction, it's usually chopped to itty bits and worked over, and then only loosely followed to make the final product.
I can't say I have much of a routine to writing. My process is different for almost every book. Writing fiction is something I do to relax, so I tend to write more when I'm stressed. The last 18,000 words of one of the books was written over the course of a single weekend, starting from the moment I got home from work on a Friday evening until the moment I hit "The End" on Sunday night (actually early Monday morning). Deadlines can be a hell of a motivator to finish a book.
7) If we were to hop in your car or pick up your MP3 player and turn it on, what do you think we'd be most likely to hear?
JESS: Probably the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack. Ridiculous movie, great music (if you like that sort of thing).
Give it a listen, if you're so inclined. This is a partial playlist including songs by Evanescence, Combichrist, 8mm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMp-iGRNiow&list=PL29D7616BB23B7823
There is some other great music not included in that playlist by Linkin Park, The Cure, and Collide. The song by Collide is probably my favorite on the soundtrack:
8) Was there any specific inspiration behind the creation of the H&W INVESTIGATIONS series?
JESS: My deep and abiding love of cheesy horror and urban fantasy. I can't say that any one thing was the inspiration, but there was certainly a conglomeration of many things that led up to it. When I wrote the first book, I wasn't trying to be a unique snowflake, I just wanted to write something along the lines of what I knew I liked to read.
I wanted adventure. I wanted danger lurking in the shadows. I wanted vampires and werewolves and magic and excitement. To be honestly worried about whether or not the main character would survive intact because, hey, she's human. She's fragile. She's genuinely scared of these things because the bulk of them could and would eat her. She doesn't have the benefit of super strength or fangs or claws or magical healing powers. To me, that meant I had to work out ways to make her inadvertently become a player in the supernatural sandbox—and not only that, but come out on top, special powers or no.
It also meant I had to figure out how to make it all work without making the whole danged thing eye-rollingly cheesy.
I like to think I accomplished that, particularly since it appears a lot of other people like to read that kind of book, too.
9) How many books do you ultimately have planned for the series?
JESS: 3 more, for a total of 9 in the H&W Investigations series. The last 3 are temporarily on hold while I explore a new project.
10) What types of scenes do you enjoy writing the most (love, action, dialogue, etc) and why?
JESS: That changes with my mood. That said, usually dialogue, but occasionally I get really into writing action scenes.
11) What was the most challenging thing about creating the series?
JESS: Not gallivanting off into all of the secondary storylines I want to. Shiarra's world is so much bigger than what the readers see through her eyes, and sometimes that's frustrating. As the author, I have a bird's eye view of what's happening with other characters where Shiarra is not in the picture. Their struggles can be just as fascinating as hers, if not more so, sometimes. I have to keep my eye on the ball and finish out the story arc for her as intended.
12) Has there been a specific moment in your career thus far that you are particularly proud of?
JESS: Aside from getting the first book deal and the first time I saw a finished copy of HUNTED BY THE OTHERS, I would have to say it was the first time I held a physical, translated copy of HUNTED BY THE OTHERS in my hands. It was in French.
It's funny, but that's the moment when it really hit me—I was a real author. People weren't just reading my ramblings in English, picking me up at a bookstore. This was for real. People in other countries, and who maybe didn't even speak my native language, would read my words.
That was the most significant moment in my career thus far.
13) What's up next for Jess Haines? Anything else in the works – or available – outside of H&W that you can share with us?
JESS: There are a couple of anthologies with H&W Investigations short stories in them. NOCTURNAL (my story is "Spark of Temptation") and THE REAL WEREWIVES OF VAMPIRE COUNTY (my story is "What's Yours Is Mine").
I've got some new things in the works, but nothing official to announce yet. If you'd like to hear about those new things once they do become official, I'll be alerting my newsletter subscribers first. You can sign up on my website, or follow me on Twitter or Facebook for the latest news (links above).
14) Anything else coming up that you want to be sure your readers and fans know about – online events, signings, conventions (outside of Coastal Magic), etc?
JESS: Sure thing! I've just signed on for the Readers & 'Ritas (link: http://readers-n-ritas.org) convention, so if you'll be there next week (Nov 7 – 9), I hope you'll come say hello. I'll also be at Authors After Dark in 2015.
Chances are good I'll be at a few other conventions next year, but I don't have all of my plans ironed out yet.
15) Is there anything special you'd like to say to your readers while we have you here today?
JESS: I'm not dead yet! I know a few people have been anxiously awaiting the next installment in the H&W-verse, and I do promise it's coming. I'm hoping you guys will love what I've got up my sleeve—and I'm hoping if everything goes as planned to announce (and quite possibly release) this new project I've been working on at Coastal Magic, which is just one of many great reasons to attend!
LITERAL ADDICTION: Jess, thank you SO much for being with us today. I really hope that I've turned some new readers on to your work, and I hope that people will go out, pick up, and love the H&W INVESTIGATION novels. I'm super excited to see you again in February. :)
JESS: Thank you very much for having me, Chelle! Can't wait to see you in Daytona! Happy reading, everybody! :)

[Archive] Series Spotlight, Giveaway and CMC15 Promo for S.J Harper_11.4.14
Series Spotlight, Giveaway and Coastal Magic Convention 2015 Promo
Samantha Sommersby and Jeanne C. Stein of S.J Harper
Hello everybody,
LITERAL ADDICTION is super thrilled to be promoting for S.J Harper again today. You probably already know the ladies that make up S.J. Harper (we've had Jeanne on the site many, many times), but it's always great to have them here…
S.J. Harper is the pen name for the writing team of Samantha Sommersby and Jeanne C. Stein, two friends who met at Comic-Con in San Diego and quickly bonded over a mutual love of good wine, edgy urban fantasy, and everything Joss Whedon.
Samantha Sommersby left what she used to call her "real life" day job in the psychiatric field to pursue writing full-time in 2007. She is the author of more than ten novels and novellas including the critically acclaimed Forbidden series. She currently lives with her husband and cocker spaniel, Buck, in a century old Southern California Craftsman. Sam happily spends her days immersed in a world where vampires, werewolves, and demons are real, myths and legends are revered, magic is possible, and love still conquers all.
Jeanne Stein is the national bestselling author of The Anna Strong Vampire Chronicles. She also has numerous short story credits, including most recently the novella, Blood Debt, from the New York Times bestselling anthology, Hexed. Her series has been picked up in three foreign countries and her short stories published in collections here in the US and the UK.
She lives in Denver, CO where she finds gardening a challenge more daunting than navigating the world of mythical creatures.
Jeanne and Samantha together, are the proud creators of the new FALLEN SIREN series.

Emma Monroe is a Fallen Siren, cursed by the gods and banished to Earth for her failure to prevent the kidnapping of Persephone. She's had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now she works for the FBI and is on temporary assignment in Charleston. Solving this next missing persons case could be the key to ending her ancient curse—unless the temptation that's her new partner gets in the way.
Zack Armstrong is a Werewolf. Tall, dark, and dangerous, he currently works for one of the bureau's elite Child Abduction Rapid Deployment teams. In many respects the man is every bit as mysterious as his secret and perilous past. But there are two things he's certain about, that he's going to get his man and his woman.
When Zack finds himself suddenly shy a partner and a third child goes missing in Charleston, Emma goes from consultant to CARD team member in the space of a few hours. The abductions of the first two boys ended in murder, an outcome that neither Zack nor Emma can abide. As they race against time to track down the kidnapper and rescue the latest victim, they find themselves fighting something just as treacherous—a growing attraction that can't be ignored or denied.

Meet FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She's cursed. He's damned. Together, they make one hell of a team. Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She's had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her new partner leads her astray.
Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He's a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he's taken enough lives. Now he's doing penance by saving them.
Emma and Zack's very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves.

Now it's time for a reckoning.
Special Agent Emma Monroe has a secret. She's a Fallen Siren, cursed by the gods and banished to Earth for her failure to prevent the kidnapping of Persephone. As an FBI agent she saves the lives of others believing redemption could be one rescue away.
Her partner Zack is a werewolf and former Black Ops sniper who once carried out a string of questionable assignments. Now he's determined to atone for his past. Ironically, there's a portion of his past Zack doesn't remember—an affair with Emma. Giving into their attraction for one another almost led to their undoing. Now it's back to business as usual.
While trying to unravel the mystery behind a series of kidnappings in Southern California, Emma and Zack become entangled with political tensions in the vampire and Were worlds. Not to mention the struggles they face in their relationship with one another. With so much uncertainty, they come to realize the only thing they can really count on is one another…or can they?

Spotlight, EXCLUSIVE CONTENT, Live Twitter Event Notice and Giveaway
Rachel Caine and The Morganville Vampire series
Hey everyone!
If you've been a literal addict for awhile, you know how much I adore Rachel Caine and The Morganville Vampires series. I have raved long and loud about the series and how much I love it. So, imagine my immense excitement when I heard that the series was being made into a web series.
When I met Rachel in Miami in February we discussed the series and I was waiting on the edge of my seat to watch Season 1. Well, the wait is over. The series was launched on October 27th and is gaining popularity every day.
For those of you that don't know about it (or forgot about it), I'm here to tell you some things and share some exclusive content and news that I was beyond fortunate to gain access to, so that I could share it with all of you (those behind the scenes pics can't be found anywhere online [at least not yet])!
I'm so excited, check it out…
On Halloween, Episode 1 of the web series hit 50K views, and the rest of the series is climbing towards 50K, as well!! Yay! :)
Now, let me get you a little more caught up…
Morganville: The Series Revitalizes Vampire Genre Just in Time for Halloween
Rachel Caine's Snarky Vampires Perfect for Geek & Sundry's October Line-up Geek & Sundry: Rachel Caine is adapting her Morganville Vampires books – fifteen (15) total – for a hilarious fright fest of a web series. Each episode of the first season is expected to be 8-12 minutes long, bringing the entire season to about an hour and is freely adapted by Rachel from the first novel – Glass Houses. The first season will begin airing on Geek & Sundry October 27th with a prime schedule planned out… the hope is that the first season finale lands on Halloween day.
Thanks to a passionate fanbase who fully supported the Kickstarter project (and whose funds were then matched by Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry), Morganville Vampires: Book Series became Morganville: The Series and utilized one of the fastest, most innovative platforms for upcoming shows. Through the expansive reach of Youtube, Rachel's fans can enjoy the show without the long wait that comes through traditional television and also, reach a worldwide audience faster. All around it made the most sense for a book series of this size and caliber.
Even though web series are seen as non-traditional formats, the casting process and scouting for film locations remains normal. Auditions were held in Dallas, LA, Austin, New Orleans and some digital (to give fans of the books a chance at the spotlight too). Rachel wrote all the character monologues for the auditions. The entire show ended up being filmed on location in Dallas, Texas in four separate venues, including a coffee shop, a turn-of-last-century Victorian home, a hospital, and a university. Nearly every episode ends with Rachel's infamous cliffhanger endings!
Switching from book to film writing was easier than Rachel expected. The very first thing she did, ended up setting the stage for the adaptation process and made it easier for her to focus on the story she wished to tell. Rachel says, "The first thing I tried to do, since I wrote the book in 2006, was to write down everything I remembered from it without re-reading it. That was fascinating, because what I wrote down was really the core story, and that turned out to be what needed to be told in the show. So while I did go back to the book, I did it for the purposes of review, not inspiration."
Fans might be wondering how a 10-day- shoot in April 2014 could possibly yield a story they recognize, Rachel is confident the series delivers and explains, "For practical purposes, you can only have so many characters in a show with this running time, so some characters from the novel, while really interesting, ended up not being central to the plot (like Miranda). However, I did think it was important to introduce Myrnin, who is a fan favorite character, into the mix early, so he makes a short appearance this season.

Morganville Vampires Books and Morganville: The Series.

Excited like me!? I hope so. There's even more…
Rachel is doing a special fan participation event on Monday, November 3rd starting at 11 a.m. Pacific Time / 11 a.m Mountain Time / 12 p.m Central Time / 1 p.m Eastern Time. She will be watching all 6 episodes of the show back-to-back with fans, and joining members of the cast for a live Tweeting event during the marathon! :)
Watch the trailer below! You can also go directly to the episodes at the links provided below, but you might want to wait to view them with Rachel and chat with her and some of the cast a bit Live on Twitter starting at 11am PT Monday, 11/3.
I'm so excited to share this with with all of you, and I hope that you'll all join me a in a little fangirling. This series is one of my absolute favorites, and is one that I will definitely visit again and again. http://youtu.be/fcoe2nCFYuQ

Wait! Don't leave yet…
Have I mentioned how much I love this series? Well, I love it so much that I have a Morganville Resident ID bracelet, Myrnin's "M" necklace, and Eve's dragon necklace that I wear all the time, along with over half of the series in hardcover signed! (Love I tell you!. LOL).

Halloween in Altantis
Add to your GoodReads Shelf
Buy from: LINKS COMING SOON…
Now that Atlantis has finally risen to take its place on the world stage, the Atlantean warriors are having to face some new and interesting dangers — like Halloween parties.
Arrogant warrior Liam doesn't understand the beautiful, bubbly human whose entire function in life appears to be to plan parties, but he can't seem to keep away from her, either. Jamie, who considers herself to be completely unflappable—the hallmark of a great event planner—doesn't understand why the far-too-serious Atlantean manages to get under her skin with every single encounter. Even if he is the sexiest man she has ever seen.
When the two of them are thrown together to solve a mystery surrounding the queen's missing jewels, sparks fly, secrets are revealed, and Halloween has never been hotter.
This novelette (longer than a short story, shorter than a novella) is perfect for reading on a coffee break - or in between handing out candy to trick-or treaters.

CloudSigma spins-up all-SSD storage cloud
Zurich-based infrastructure-as-a-service slinger CloudSigma has moved to all flash storage for the data center infrastructure running its cloud. Its migration to an all-SSD cloud is designed to deal with the randomized, multi-tenant access patterns of a public cloud, the company said in a statement announcing the move on Tuesday …
This topic is closed for new posts.
Re: Headline irony
Just like Azure already did then...Azure moved to SSD some time ago, and hence now outperforms Amazon cloud on storage performance benchmarks....
"The infrastructure provider is moving all of its customers off of disak and onto SSD hardware provided by data center startup SolidFire."
Presumably you mean disk? Or dhansak?
Sorry, I can't help it.

Facebook Rebrands "Nearby" As "Local Search"
According to at least two recent surveys, Facebook — surprisingly — emerges as one of the primary places people look for local business information on the Internet.
Last year, Facebook relaunched its mobile "Nearby" app feature. And now, the company has renamed Nearby. It's now being called "Local Search," which is more self-explanatory. This won't necessarily increase usage overnight, but it certainly makes the content and functionality much more clear.
With a little bit of promotion, the company could generate significant local search volume from the app. For more on this story, see our coverage on Search Engine Land:

I wanted to share with all of you one more blog about snow. Yesterday's accumulation was nearly a foot, but then it turned to rain, making the snowfall wet and heavy - the worst kind for clearing!
1 The latest snowfall at the farm appeared quite blue. This phenomenon occurs because light has different wavelengths that we perceive as colors. Blue light is the light that goes through ice crystals most readily. This is also why the sea and the sky look blue.
2 A panorama of one of the hay fields and the beautiful sycamore tree
3 With snow on the ground, certain tree branches really stand out with color. You can see red maple trees and orange larch beyond.
4 Wet snow is very heavy and can cause tree limbs to break. When that happens, many power lines can also be broken.
5 Another shot of those red maples
6 The wild turkeys were foraging for food.
7 And so was this little nuthatch.
8 Nuthatches have an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. Their name comes from the bird's habit of cramming seeds and nuts into tree bark, then cracking them with their piercing bill, hatching out the seed from inside.
9 Here's another fine example of why I firmly believe in covering shrubs with burlap.
10 The snow keeps on piling up!
11 Looking towards the peony garden and dreaming of spring
12 This is an entrance into the boxwood enclosed garden behind the summer house. This American boxwood is protected from snow accumulation with plastic netting, keeping branches from splaying.
13 This is the terrace of the summer house.
14 You may recall that this formal garden has been planted with many small boxwood, lily bulbs, and allium bulbs. Can't wait for spring!
15 These small trees are ginkgo biloba and so is the giant tall one at the rear.
16 This structure is a faux bois gazebo, which probably should have been put in storage for the winter.
17 Looking back towards the summer house
18 A view of the farm
19 Another view
20 A large Korean lilac standard all safe and sound
21 The corn crib and beyond
22 Wonderful form of an old apple tree
23 The wisteria transplants look like creatures from a haunted forest.
24 The little grove of fastigiate (upward growing) oak near the greenhouse
25 The main greenhouse - I sure hope that heavy show melts and falls off soon. Heavy snow isn't good for glass roofs.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Aubrey Plaza gets physical, shows wide range on film 'Life After Beth'
TORONTO - With her new zombie film "Life After Beth," comedy star Aubrey Plaza was so excited to show more range than she gets to as deadpan April Ludgate on TV's "Parks and Recreation" that she over-exerted herself.
"I actually tore my abdominal wall or my abdominal muscles because they're very weak because I have no abs," she said, displaying her signature straight-faced humour in a recent interview. "I don't work on my abs. I need to do that."
Plaza plays the titular character, who dies but comes back to life as a zombie — a state she doesn't initially realize she's in, and one which evolves slowly. John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon play her parents, who are so happy to have their little girl back that they don't let her in on the news that she's the undead. Dane DeHaan plays her boyfriend in the comedy that co-stars Anna Kendrick, Paul Reiser and Cheryl Hines.
Plaza said her injury happened during a scene in which she stands up with an oven/stove range strapped to her back along with a boombox playing smooth jazz — methods her boyfriend employs in order to keep her calm and contained. The oven was hollow but "really heavy" and she got overzealous, said Plaza.
"I did like one crunch and I was like 'Ack!' So that sucked," she said. "But then afterwards they built this harness situation for the oven that kind of acted like it was a hiking backpack kind of thing with straps, and I was kind of strapped in and the weight equalized, so it was easier to carry after that.
"But the first day I just tried to pick it up on my own and I was like, 'I got this,' and then I didn't got it and it was a nightmare," she continued, adding jokingly: "I went to the doctor later. When we were shooting, you know, you just have to shoot, and Jeff (Baena, the writer-director) is a tyrant. I mean, he didn't care, he didn't want to hear it.
"He was like, 'Get that thing on your back and get your ass up. You need to do this four more times.'"
Baena, who is dating Plaza and co-wrote the 2004 film "I Heart Huckabees," said he started penning "Life After Beth" in 2003.
He's always loved zombie films, but he prefers "the dead zombies as opposed to the virus zombies." And he wanted to make his zombies sentient and nostalgic for their old lives because it added "psychological trauma" and made it more "heartbreaking."
Like the brain eaters in the film, Baena thought the script was "dead" after years of sitting on the shelf, but it was resurrected when Plaza's agent told her about it. She and Baena, who live in Los Angeles, don't like to talk shop when they're together and she didn't even know about the project until then.
When she read it, she told him: "We have to do this tomorrow. This has to happen."
"It's kind of a slow burn and you don't really see that in a lot of zombie movies," said Plaza. "And also, most zombie movies are impersonal. They're kind of more apocalyptic and about big themes, higher concepts, fighting groups of people, survival. But this is like a really, really personal account of one family's story of a zombie takeover.
"It is interesting, if you watch other zombie movies and you think, 'Well, what if that zombie was, like, somebody that I love? Then that would be kind of (messed) up to shoot them in the head,'" she added, using an expletive instead of "messed."
Once Plaza was onboard, the project came together quickly and they blitzed through the shoot in just 22 days.
Plaza at first thought of doing a zombie movie marathon for a week to help develop her character.
"And then I thought, 'But you know, zombies aren't real, at least I don't think they are, so really all those movies are just someone else's interpretation of what that is,'" she said. "So I decided to not do that and do the opposite and not watch anything and just try to create it on my own, using the script and then using the dark demon energy that brews under the surface of my soul."
She had to portray her character through about five stages of zombie deterioration. They didn't shoot in sequence, so Plaza used some clever tricks to remember which stage her character was at in terms of her "zombiness."
"I'm like Meryl Streep, I have a craft," she said, tongue in cheek. "(Beth) had a limp and I didn't want to ever forget that, because I was trying to keep track of so many things, so I did put a very sharp rock in my shoe (to remember).
"Every day Dane would be like, 'Take the rock out, it doesn't do anything,' and I'm like, 'You don't understand my process. I need this rock.'"
Constantly thinking about such physicality while also showing a wide range of emotion was a challenge but fun, said Plaza.
"It was fun for me to try to remember, like: 'OK, so at this point I'm, like, not fully zombie, but I kind of want to eat people but I kind of don't know it yet.'"
"Life After Beth" opens in Toronto at The Royal on Friday, when it will also be available on video on demand.

this clip sounds amazing! I cant wait!
Digging: From Indian Lakes - Able Bodies
Gotta check these guys out.
Digging: Midnight - No Mercy for Mayhem
Spec they are so good. Their clean vocalist/bassist Ahren Stringer has an amazing and unique voice.
I'm down. Which album should I get?
both Severed Ties and Yungbloods are excellent. But the prduction quality on Severed Ties is not as polished as Youngbloods. I recommend the first half of Severd Ties and all of Youngbloods.
That clip sounds good
Digging: Pianos Become the Teeth - Keep You
Digging: Rancid - ...And Out Come the Wolves
Nice to see a album being pushed up instead of back. Clip sounds sick, really looking forward to this.
Sounds like ballz.
this will rule. cant waaaiitt
My girlfriend made a brilliant art piece that won continentals with a name of this title. That fact alone is gonna spur me on to listen.
Anyone else wondering why the preview sounded exactly like A Day to Remember?
Spec - I'd recommend these tracks:
From Glory Days:
15 Pieces of Flare
From Youngbloods:
Fire or Knife
HMS Lookback
From Severed Ties:
Fruity Lexi
fuck this band
youngbloods owned hard. pretty amped to hear this.
Can't wait. I'm a sucker for amity. Best ph band out there IMO
"Best ph band out there IMO"
Well, your opinion is wrong.
Charlie15 - You are a cool dude! We both digging new PTV album
i dont get this site anymore. how can you all selectively bash and praise new music that sounds near
the same? i like this and its good but yeah, w/e
This sounds nothing like A Day To Remember. Nothing pop-punk about this band

+ - What Does The NSA Think Of Cryptographers? ->
The article of interest is a report of a trip to the 1992 EuroCrypt conference by an NSA cryptographer whose name is redacted.We all get a little bored having to sit though presentations that are off topic, boring or even down right silly but we generally don't write our opinions down. In this case the criticisms are cutting and they reveal a lot about the attitude of the NSA cryptographers. You need to keep in mind as you read that this is intended for the NSA crypto community and as such the writer would have felt at home with what was being written.
Take for example:
Three of the last four sessions were of no value whatever, and indeed there was almost nothing at Eurocrypt to interest us (this is good news!). The scholarship was actually extremely good; it's just that the directions which external cryptologic researchers have taken are remarkably far from our own lines of interest.
It seems that back in 1992 academic cryptographers were working on things that the NSA didn't consider of any importance. Could things be the same now?
The gulf between the two camps couldn't be better expressed than:
The conference again offered an interesting view into the thought processes of the world's leading "cryptologists." It is indeed remarkable how far the Agency has strayed from the True Path.
The ironic comment is clearly suggesting that the NSA is on the "true path" whatever that might be.
Clearly the gap between the NSA and the academic crypto community is probably as wide today with the different approaches to the problem being driven by what each wants to achieve. It is worth reading the rest of the article."

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" Photo: Warner Bros.
It was quite a scene at Lincoln Center in New York where throngs of screaming fans had congregated for the final premiere of a Harry Potter film in the city.
They stood in blistering heat to witness the stars from the British film series as they walked the red carpet. Some had camped out – and a few had come from as far away as Japan and Australia.
Daniel Radcliffe looked cheerful, but there was a tinge of sadness. He told me how he'd miss being with his colleagues on the Harry Potter set: "I worked with that crew, which was a lot of the same people, year in, year out. It was my day to day life to see all of them – so to be in a world where I'm not seeing them will be strange."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 might mark the end of a world famous movie franchise, but one of the premiere's big name guests, Whoopi Goldberg, was full of anticipation. She's clearly an ardent fan of Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
She said, "I want to see what JK is going to do next, that's what I want to know! I want to know what has she got going on. I love the way she writes because she writes for people to actually read the books, and not just skim them, but read them and I love that."
As the series draws to a close, the final Harry Potter picture caps an impressive cinematic achievement. For ten years, the films have been delivering their own brand of well-crafted magic — and making a lot of money. The seven Harry Potter pictures released so far have grossed more than $6 billion internationally, a figure that has made Warner Bros., the studio backing Harry Potter, extremely happy. The franchise has become the most successful in box office history, outdoing the James Bond and Star Wars films.
British people get the majority of their complaining done in private, hours after the offending incident took place. Registering even […]

Direct action recommended over eyesore Carlisle garden
Last updated at 14:50, Friday, 25 January 2013
A notice, insisting the garden of a house in north Carlisle that is littered with rubbish, timber and overgrown bushes is tidied up, has been ignored.
And the city council is about to take matters into its own hands.
The house on Briar Bank in Belah has been abandoned for 10 years – since its previous owner went into a care home – and the garden is now a dumping ground. It is partially boarded up and secure but the back boundary fence is missing.
The owners or occupiers of a building or land which is becoming an eyesore can legally be made to clean it up.
City councillors on the development control committee will discuss the matter at a meeting today.
It is estimated that it would cost almost £2,300 to cut back the vegetation, clean up the garden, remove the rubbish, hire a skip and build a new fence. The council says the money used to tidy up the gardens may be recovered following any subsequent sale of the property.
A report states: "The unsightly nature of the property is of concern to local residents. They have voiced their concern about the continuing deterioration of the property and in particular the state of the gardens.
"The current owner of the property (the son of the former owner) lives in Essex and to date has not responded to any correspondence asking him to tidy up the gardens.
"Environmental health officers have visited many times but have concluded there is little action that can be taken as there is no risk to health."
The city council says there has been "no contact" from the owner and "no compliance" with a notice ordering that the garden be tidied up.
The recommendation is for the council's Greenspaces team to tidy up the garden and to be granted authority to enter the land. No neighbours were available for comment when contacted by The Cumberland News.

Senators Ranked Top Sports Franchise in Canada - ESPN the Magazine
by Da lil Guy on 09/23/13 at 09:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
As was noted earlier, ESPN the magazine ranked the Ottawa Sentors quite highly in their recent 'Ultimate Team Rankings'. In addition to having been ranked in the top 10 franchises overall, they were ranked the top spors franchise in Canada.
Ottawa Senators President Cyril Leeder weighed in on the ranking:
Yeah, it's great news. It really validates what we've been saying for a while, we think we provide great value for our fans and it's always nice when someone like ESPN recognizes that...I think on the what you get for what you pay, the sort of value scale, we've always felt we were a leader, certainly in the NHL. That's where we do most of the comparison and this survey would rank us number one among professional sports teams in Canada, but just as important for us is number three in the NHL and right behind one and two which is Pittsburgh and Anaheim. We're pretty pleased with that.
More from Leeder here.
Of course, this ranking is by the same ESPN that last week left the Sens expensive off season acquisition Bobby Ryan off their top 100 forwards list, but I guess as long as they feel that Eugene Melnyk is one of the top owners in the NHL, it's worth crowing about.
The ESPN ranking, unlike some other metrics, gives the Senators points for having a lower than average ticket price among the Canadian teams with affordability and 'bang for the buck' both heavily weighted categories in determining the overall rankings. ESPN also ranked the Senators highly in fan relations - again a contradiction of another recent survey that rated the Sens among the bottom NHL teams in social media.
Of course the ESPN ranking measures how the franchise caters to fans more than how the fans themselves respond to the franchise. It could very well be that Ottawa has one of the best franchises and one of the worst fanbases, but I suspect the truth is probably closer to the middle. What these types of rankings may prove, more than anything, is that evaluating a sports franchise or its fans using these kinds of criteria is more of an art than a science.

Red Sox not actively negotiating with Stephen Drew
Feb 26, 2014, 10:38 PM EST
From Alex Speier, the Red Sox beat reporter at WEEI.com:
According to multiple industry sources, with the Red Sox on the verge of starting spring training games, the team has not been engaged in substantive talks since the opening of camp with shortstop Stephen Drew. The team has not ruled out categorically the possibility of re-signing the shortstop, but it views such a scenario as unlikely at this time — in the same way, for instance, that team officials imagined hypothetical scenarios where they became engaged on a free agent such as Ubaldo Jimenez if his market absolutely cratered.
Jimenez was tied to draft pick compensation, like Drew, but wound up landing a four-year, $50 million free agent contract last week from the Orioles. That kind of deal isn't coming for Drew, who may wait until after the June draft to re-explore the market. The Red Sox don't have to forfeit a draft pick to bring him back, but they seem content with Will Middlebrooks at third base and top prospect Xander Bogaerts at shortstop.
Drew, 30, hit .253/.333/.443 with 13 homers and 67 RBI in 124 games last year for the World Series champs. He was critical of MLB's draft pick compensation system last week, telling CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, "Our union has been really good. But I think we really have to look at this. Is this really good for free agency?"

Nov 26, 2014, 8:00 AM EST
It's like clockwork. A team signs a big free agent or two and someone argues that baseball is doomed without a salary cap. It's always baloney, of course.
