Wigan Warriors
Opinion: St Helens capable of springing one last surprise in Grand Final
It's almost rooted into the mentality of a British sports fan to be constantly affectionate with the "underdog" concept. Take football's FA Cup, for example. Every single year, there is a real sense of romance and clamour around a team who does the unthinkable, and wins against all the odds. So in that essence, won't everyone with a sense of ...

Smith only too aware of Old Trafford heartbreak
Of all the lines rolled out by players this week, Wigan Warriors scrum-half Matty Smith was adamant about one particular message when he addressed the media ahead of the Super League Grand Final. Simply put, Old Trafford is "no place for losers" – something he is only too aware of. After all, Smith was on the other side of the ... Read More »
Super League Grand Final: The betting
Bookmakers Ladbrokes have installed Wigan Warriors as 2/5 favourites to win the First Utility Super League Grand Final when they play St Helens at Old Trafford on Saturday (6.00pm). St Helens are priced at 2/1 to beat their biggest rivals and clinch a first title since 2006. St Helens hooker James Roby and Wigan half-back Matty Smith are 6/1 favourites ... Read More »

Pettybourne wants to copy Rabbitohs' success
Former South Sydney forward Eddy Pettybourne is hoping for some Grand Final success of his own when Wigan take on St Helens in the Super League decider on Saturday. A Souths junior who played 91 NRL games for the Rabbitohs between 2007 and 2012, Pettybourne was ecstatic to see the Bunnies defeat the Bulldogs in the NRL Grand Final on ... Read More »
Wigan-Saints different to any other game, says Wane
As bona fide Wiganers go, they don't come much bigger than current Warriors boss Shaun Wane. Wane has been embedded into the fabric of the club – and the town – for the majority of this life, and this Saturday, he will coach his hometown club in the biggest game of the Super League season, the Super League Grand Final. ...

Joel Tomkins: It's like a fairytale for me
Wigan back-rower Joel Tomkins has described his return to Rugby League as "like a fairytale" after reaching the Grand Final just three months after leaving rugby union. The 27-year-old originally left the Warriors to join Aviva Premiership side Saracens in 2010 and went on to represent England in the 15-man code. In June, he completed his return to Super League ...

Bill's Favorite Music
Here are some of Bill's all-time favorite bands. This is 100% great music that you can often hear featured on the Radio Factor. We've provided links for you to sample those you haven't heard before.
Luther Vandross
Smooth, adult R&B. Contains "Here and Now," which broke Vandross through to the pop Top Ten long after most people had given up hope that he'd ever cross over
Earth Wind & Fire
Groovy 70s Funk. The singles gathered here constitute some of the richest, most sophisticated music the funk movement ever produced; when the absolute cream of the group's catalog is heard in such a concentrated fashion, the effect is dazzling.
Tower of Power
70s funk from the San Francisco Bay Area. "What Is Hip?" was the biggest single they ever had, but they also had several other smaller hits that captured their sleek, stylized soul-funk quite well, such as "Soul Vaccination."
Joe Cocker
British blues. This compilation successfully distills Cocker's highlights, including the splendid "When the Night Comes," onto a single CD.
The Eagles
Classic easy rocking Southern California hits. The tunes are melodic, and the arrangements -- full of strummed acoustic guitars over a rock rhythm section often playing a shuffle beat, topped by tenor-dominated harmonies -- are immediately engaging.
The Rolling Stones
The Devil's answer to The Beatles? For Stones fans, Forty Licks is about as good as it gets -- and thanks to the variety and punch within, even the casual listener will be left wanting another spin at its end.
The Doors
Psychedelic sixties sexuality. A well-chosen, 19-track compilation balancing the radio hits with the longer, more complex song poems.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Rock's best barbershop quartet. One of the most hotly awaited second albums in history -- right up there with those by the Beatles and the Band -- Déjà Vu lived up to its expectations and rose to number one on the charts.
Hall and Oates
70s & 80s pop. With their roots firmly planted in the Philly soul tradition of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff (Teddy Pendergrass, the O'Jays), Hall and Oates transcended racial and chart boundaries with synth-funk-drenched jams such as the irrepressible "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," which spent time atop both the pop and R&B charts.
The Beatles
What more needs to be said? Beatles 1 is the first single-disc collection that spans every facet of the Fab Four's career, from Merseybeat mavens to punchy rockers to masters of nuanced pop-craft. The 27 chart-topping hits presented herein leave little doubt about why Beatlemania gripped the world in the '60s, beginning with the band's first stateside hit, "Love Me Do," and carrying on through scream-inducing hits such as "Can't Buy Me Love" and "A Hard Day's Night."
Elvis Presley
The King (and original crossover success). While the title implies it's merely a plain-old "best of," Elvis 30 #1 Hits goes a lot further -- particularly as regards the sound quality, boosted by careful tweaking of original master tapes so that even much-heard favorites like "Don't Be Cruel" and "All Shook Up" leap from the speakers with increased zest.
Frank Sinatra
Old Blue Eyes.
The Very Best of Frank Sinatra
is ideal, since it contains all of the true essentials he recorded during the '60s and '70s, including "Summer Wind," "Strangers in the Night," "My Way," "It Was a Very Good Year," and "Theme From New York, New York."
Bill's #1 song
"Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton
A classic R&B ballad.
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Brook Benton
gathers a dozen of the singer/songwriter's greatest hits, including "It's Just a Matter of Time," "Fools Rush In," "The Boll Weevil Song," and his duets with Dinah Washington, "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" and "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around and Fall in Love)."

It's been two weeks since I last posted.
I can't believe it.
I'm also not sorry.
When I began college in September, I felt terrible about being unable to post as often as I had in the past. I made a pact to post more often, to read later into the night, to write reviews earlier in the day.
Basically, I still had no concept of the fact that this is my blog and it's not going anywhere.
The first week following my last post I was too busy to post. I had five major assignments due on the same date, I was frantically attempting to keep on top of my work and my other commitments in preparation to return home from Thanksgiving and I simply could not find the time to even glance at a blog. The past week, though, I've been busy but I've also been having a lot of fun. I still read every day, just fifteen minutes, but, strangely enough, there is enough to do, enough people to talk to, and enough hours in the day to sleep that I don't find myself tapping away on the computer as often as I once did.
And that's okay.
I'm here, on this Thanksgiving, to thank you all for sticking it out with me. Thank you for commenting even when I haven't visited your blogs. Thank you for including me on Twitter and Instagram even when it seemed as if I fell off the planet. Thank you, publishers, for sending me all the ARCs I could possibly want even though I haven't posted an early review in what seems like ages. Thank you, authors, for e-mailing me and wanting me to review your work despite the fact that I seem so absent from the internet.
I love reading. I love reviewing. I love blogging.
Although these facts have remained constant, my life hasn't remained in stasis. I know I won't have as much time to blog in the coming weeks thanks to finals. I know I probably won't make my GoodReads goal for the first time in years because...college. But I also know that I will be here, always, just an e-mail or a comment away. I know I love reading your posts, your comments, your reviews. I know I want to click that "Publish" button again really soon and there are a couple of projects planned for the upcoming month. But instead of freaking out over unexplained hiatuses, instead of issuing a string of apologies, I'm just going to go with the flow.
It's life. It happens. And thank you for sticking with me through it.
Happy Thanksgiving!(:

Mini-Review: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
Title: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
Author: Gabrielle Zevin
Rating: 4 Stars
On the faded Island Books sign hanging over the porch of the Victorian cottage is the motto "No Man Is an Island; Every Book Is a World." A. J. Fikry, the irascible owner, is about to discover just what that truly means. A. J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island-from Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer who's always felt kindly toward Fikry; from Ismay, his sister-in-law who is hell-bent on saving him from his dreary self; from Amelia, the lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who keeps on taking the ferry over to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by A.J.'s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. These days, A.J. can only see them as a sign of a world that is changing too rapidly. And then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, but large in weight. It's that unexpected arrival that gives A. J. Fikry the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J.; or for that determined sales rep, Amelia, to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light; or for the wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.'s world; or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he didn't see coming. As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is, upon further reflection, the type of deceptively crafted title I absolutely love to devour on a rainy spring afternoon. Everything from the brief book reviews which preface its every chapter to the odd little details the author sprinkles within the opening pages of the novel--only to re-introduce them in miraculous means towards the end of the story--are utterly charming, delightful, and more than a little engaging. Fikry's book reviews not only introduce subtle events in every chapter to come, but they are written from the future as the story struggles to catch up to his current timeline, a method which works to perfection, crafted and re-crafted by Zevin throughout the course of the book.
It's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what it is about this novel that just works. Is it the quaint little bookstore in a tiny off-the-coast island, inhabited by citizens whose lives are extraordinary in their ordinariness? Or is it the transformation of A.J. Fikry, a rather aloof widowed bookstore owner whose life changes the day baby Maya shows up on his doorstep? Or, perhaps, it is simply that Zevin writes her contemporary title in the tone of magical realism, introducing even the simplest of emotions such as love or hope or happiness as pure magic. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry isn't a sugar-coated tale, though--for the most part--it appears so. Yet, it is the minuscule sprinkles of sorrow and grounded reality in a tale of love and redemption that, ultimately, make this a journey to remember, no matter how many times it is read.

Review: Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews
Author: Ilona Andrews
Rating: 4 Stars
Forget the new Kate Daniels book, I just want more of the Hidden Legacy series. It speaks to the immense strength of the Ilona Andrews writing duo that, despite diverging from a well-known and slightly formulaic series, they still manage to put forth innovative, fresh, and genuinely captivating novels. It was already evident from The Edge books, a series of companion novels set in the same universe, but now with both The Innkeeper Chronicles and Hidden Legacy series, two incredibly promising series debuts, they have proved that there is much, much more up their sleeve either than Kate Daniels.
Frankly, that's rare. We see it all too often where authors simply draw out a series beyond its natural ending point or inundate fans with countless spin-off series. I admire Ilona Andrews all the more, however, for choosing to begin new ventures. Moreover, both Clean Sweep and Burn for Me contain characters written in a completely different vein from Kate and Curran. I love Nevada, the family-oriented and loyal protagonist of Burn for Me, and I particularly love the distinct quality of her narration. It's funny, just as Ilona Andrews knows to be, but it also lacks the loneliness and despair that marked Kate's voice in Magic Bites, instead giving rise to a flavor of indomitable strength and courage tinged with vulnerability--a state I was able to instantly relate to.
Unlike Kate, Nevada is instantly like-able and her world, full of enormous leaps in social hierarchy, forces her to be a victim of her environment in more ways than one. The world-building in Burn for Me is intricate and intriguing from the start and only develops as the novel progresses, which I love. You're left with the sense that there is so much more left to be told, not just story-wise with this series, but also world-wise and I anticipate that sensation of peeling back layers to a new novel. Plus, for those of you who are fans of Ilona Andrews heart-stopping action sequences and penchant for mythological mysteries, have no fear; it is present in spades in Burn for Me.
Yet, what makes Burn for Me such an incredible novel is, simply put, its characters. Nevada, her ex-solider mother, her younger brothers and sisters, her hacker cousin Bern, her grandmother who isn't too old to appreciate a shirtless (and very good-looking) man, and, of course, Mad Rogan himself. Without divulging spoilers, Burn for Me places Nevada, a woman with relatively little magical power, under control of the corporation to which her business is mortgaged and, as a result, she much apprehend a powerful fire-wielding psychopath, Adam. Mad Rogan, known for his immense power and the enormous death rate he has been responsible for during the war, is searching for Adam for reasons of his own and when the two team up, sparks fly.
Mad Rogan isn't your typical hero. After serving in the war for years and wielding an unparalleled amount of magical ability, Mad Rogan is used to getting what he wants, who he wants, and when he wants them. Thus, he lacks empathy and sees murder as the first--and only--solution to every problem thrown his way. Needless to say, Nevada is terrified of the man despite the sexual tension palpable between them. To write a romance between a character such as Mad Rogan and a civilian such as Nevada is no easy task but Ilona Andrews truly makes us root for them. Moreover, it helps that we, as readers, are offered miniscule glimpses into Mad Rogan that Nevada lacks which gives us a stronger insight into the man. It isn't a fast-paced romance--but Ilona Andrews has never been known for that--and the slow-burn is torturous but oh-so-gratifying. Or, at any rate, I imagine it will be in the next few installments.
Long story short, Burn for Me is a must-read for fans of Ilona Andrews and/or the Urban Fantasy genre. It's a true breath of fresh air from the all-too-typical insta-love sequences with vampires or other paranormal creatures and the lore of this universe will grab you in and won't let you go. Plus, don't even get me started on Mad Rogan. Move over Curran because Mad Rogan is here! ;) Burn for Me. Read it.

Review: Chaos by Sarah Fine
Title: Chaos (Guards of the Shadowlands, #3)
Author: Sarah Fine
Rating: 4 Stars
If you'd asked me even a month ago, I'd have told you that Chaos was probably a finale I'd pass on. I loved Sarah Fine's Sanctum but ever since Fractured, I've been less-than-impressed by her work. Granted, Of Metal and Wishes was promising and I haven't even read Scan, but nothing Fine has written since Sanctum has managed to truly capture my attention.
And then Chaos arrived on my doorstep.
I rarely say this, but Chaos is an incredible conclusion to an innovative series. Sanctum was thought-provoking, compelling, and above all, intelligent. I loved the emotional discourse, the in-depth analysis of a depressive psyche, and I only hoped to see more of it in Fractured. Unfortunately, the latter devolved into a string of love triangles, unnecessary drama, and a cliffhanger ending as the cherry on top. Needless to say, Chaos sank quite low on my list of books to be read.
Oddly enough, it was Sarah Fine's Stories from the Shadowlands which finally convinced me to pick up Chaos. Malachi's journal entries in Stories from the Shadowlands, giving readers insight into his thought process during the dramatic events of Fractured, grudgingly allowed me to re-evaluate these characters and dive into Chaos with an open mind. And, readers, am I glad I did. Chaos completely lived up to the potential within Sanctum--and then some. As a finale, it satisfied. As a novel, it kept me entertaining. And a piece of literature, it made me think. I really don't ask for much more.
Chaos picks up directly where Fractured left off, throwing us back into the realm of the Shadowlands. What I love about re-visiting Fine's fantasy world is the fact that it is such an intelligent one. It exists because of depression, suicide, and other issues of mental illness that plague the human race. As a result, I constantly find myself re-evaluating what I know of these issues from Fine's perspective and I feel as if she uses the medium of paranormal/fantasy in the best possible way: to use fictional situations to highlight real-life problems. It's brilliant, gripping, and above all, integral to our society today. I particularly love that here is a YA trilogy that actually says something that needs to be heard by teens. To all those who constantly oppose the YA genre, Fine's trilogy proves that there is plenty of substance in YA just as in Adult fiction.
Yet, the reason Chaos stands out is due to its impeccable style. Fine strings together a variety of plot threads in this novel; so many that, at first, it seems impossible she's going to pull it off. But she does. Chaos never feels rushed or too slow. Fine's pacing is perfect and, moreover, even after two previous novels, her characters still feel fresh. Lela and Malachi are characters we've been with for years now and while parts of them are transparent and predictable, they are a far cry from the people we originally met them as. Furthermore, Fine brings back old villains and new heroes which make Chaos stand out within the trilogy instead of merely blending into the background as "just another" book in the "Guards of the Shadowlands" series.
Nevertheless, the romance is where Fine truly shines. Forgetting the drama of Fractured, we finally see Lela and Malachi as a united front in Chaos and the result of their strengths combined--their weaknesses balanced--is unbeatable. I love these two. I believe in these two. And they give me so much hope for the people in this world. Their journeys throughout Chaos are littered with despair, instances where fragility is on the brink of strength, but as Fine shows us, what doesn't kill you truly does make you stronger. I love the continued ambiguity in their morality and their depth never ceases to amaze me. I almost don't want to leave these characters behind because, really, there is more to them we still don't know and seeing them change over the years? I want that.
If it isn't already clear, Chaos has made me a die-hard fan of this series all over again. I can't wait to pick up Fine's next novel, in the hopes it surprises me as pleasantly as this one did, and if Fractured was even a fraction as irritating for you as it was for me, I can't recommend Chaos highly enough. Sarah Fine: well done.

The TBR Tag!
How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
I hate looking at one singular TBR list and finding books that haven't been released or which are classics or that I already own so I have multiple TBR piles which I keep track of on Goodreads. :)
Is your TBR mostly print or e-book?
I'd have to say my TBR is a mix of both. Currently, I feel as if it's mostly e-book since I request publishers to send me electronic copies of books since I'm in college and it's just easier than receiving parcels and finding space to stack up ARCs, but I also have a decent amount of print novels at home which are on my TBR and desperately need to be read someday.
How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
I'm a 100% mood reader. Most of the time, I'll know what I want to read next since it would have recently released and I'll snatch up a copy from the library or Amazon, but other times I just peruse my TBR shelves until I find a few books I really feel like reading that instant and then whichever one I can find I'll read.
A book that's been on your TBR list the longest?
The Storyteller was, I believe, the first ARC I received and though I've wanted to read this novel many times since having received it, the sorrow that has been promised upon reading this has kept me away like the fearful reader I am. Someday...
A book you recently added to your TBR?
I haven't been able to avoid the gushing reviews of this novel on the internet and, of course, I had to add it to my TBR. If only I could get a copy as easily... ;)
A book on your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover?
I saw the cover for this novel and was a goner. I don't actually know much about it but, ugh, so gorgeous.
A book on your TBR that you NEVER actually plan on reading?
I plan to read every book on my TBR but there are some, like Black Spring, where I doubt the reality of that actually happening. I adore the haunting cover of this novel but the fact that it's a re-telling of Wuthering Heights almost guarantees I won't enjoy it and though I've loved Croggon's prose in the past, I haven't picked up a book by her in nearly five years and can't be sure this is quite for me after all. Still, just the idea of it on my TBR warms my heart.
An unpublished book on your TBR that you're excited for?
I think to say I'm excited for this is a vast understatement. Just tell me which organs I can donate to get my hands on a copy of this.
A book on your TBR that basically everyone has read except you?
Yup, that's right. I don't even need to say anything else because everyone really had read this book. Except me. Oops!
A book on your TBR everyone recommends to you?
I'm almost tired of hearing about Mistborn. I love high fantasy, which is why this series gets recommended to me as often as it does, but I just haven't found the appropriate chunk of time to carve out for it yet. I know, I know, I need to. I will. Eventually.
A book on your TBR that you're dying to read?
I am such a die-hard sucker for werewolves (which clearly explains my torrid love affair with Adam Hauptman). Dunkle is an author I've really enjoyed in the past and combine that with the Scottish moors and creepy werewolves and I am basically a goner. If only I could find a copy of this book, though! :(
The number of books on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
I didn't want to know this number but if I count up all my multiple TBR shelves, it's 430. *winces*
Thanks for tagging me, Marlene! :)
I'm not actually going to tag anyone, only because I have no idea who has already been tagged vs. who hasn't but if you'd like to participate in the TBR tag, consider yourself tagged by me! ;)
I wish I could promise that exciting reviews are headed your way, but I can't. I'll hopefully get some blogging done this weekend--we'll see!--but I hope you enjoyed this post and wishing you all a fantastic weekend and week ahead! :D

If your sub or labor temp agency is shortchanging its workers, is that your problem?
It will be—at least, in California—if one legislator has his way.
A bill now under consideration in the state's General Assembly would require employers to pay wages, taxes and workers compensation for labor subcontractors if the workers' contracting agency reneges on those obligations.
Samir Story was a 39-year-old father of three when he accepted a temporary position with a subcontractor to clean a 78.5-foot-tall tank at a large paper mill. Untrained, he suffocated and died in his first day on the job. Advocates say temporary workers are vulnerable to safety and wage violations.
Assembly Bill 1897, introduced Feb. 19, would prevent contractors from "hiding behind staffing agencies," says Assembly Member Roger Hernández, a Democrat who introduced the measure.
Protection in the 'Subcontracted Economy'
The bill would "require a client employer, as defined, to share with a labor contractor all legal responsibility and liability for the payment of wages, the failure to report and pay all required employer contributions, worker contributions, and personal income tax withholdings, and the failure to obtain valid workers' compensation coverage," the measure says.
A "client employer" is any individual or entity that uses contract workers. A "labor contractor" is any individual or entity that supplies workers to perform labor or services.
"As California's economy begins to rebound once again, we must provide protections to workers against employers in the subcontracted economy," Hernández said in announcing the bill.
"This new economy is a new tool for employers to exploit workers against abuses of wage theft and so on, while hiding behind staffing agencies."
California Assembly Member Roger Hernández says his bill would prevent contractors from "hiding behind staffing agencies" in shortchanging day labor.
The bill will "protect those small businesses who continue to play by the rules and engage in fair competition," Hernández said.
Who's Affected
Subcontracting applies to employment arrangements that are generally contracted out, the use of labor contractors, or temporary staffing agencies, under the measure.
While subcontracting is not new, it has become far more common in construction, manufacturing and blue-collar sectors, Hernández said. Dozens of private companies now provide temporary construction labor.
Labor leaders have complained that big companies can avoid responsibility for paying workers by subcontracting with a small firm or hiring them through a temporary agency.
"This 'subcontracted economy' has led employers to rely on temporary workers who face lower wages, fewer benefits and less job security, including wage theft," Hernández said.
Temp Boom
According to the National Employment Law Project, temporary staffing employment grew from 1.1 million to 2.3 million between 1990 and 2008, then grew to 2.7 million in 2013. It now has reached a record 2.8 million people, according to the public-interest news agency ProPublica.
Temporary staffing has now reached a record 2.8 million people in the United States. About 100,000 people reportedly joined those ranks in the last year alone.
"We are setting an awful precedent by not addressing this issue," said Hernández.
"Workers across California deserve better than this, unscrupulous employers are taking advantage of the very same laws that are meant to protect workers. This measure will protect not only workers, but promote traditional employment, which may provide benefits and competitive wages."
ProPublica reported in December that temporary workers face disproportionately high rates of wage violations and on-the-job injuries. At least 10 states have laws that regulate temporary and day labor work in some way, the news agency said.
Reaction Mixed
Unions welcomed the wage-protection measure, saying it is the only way to ensure legal compliance with employer obligations.
"Current law is simply insufficient to protect workers' rights in the shadows of the subcontracted economy," Caitlin Vega of the California Labor Federation told ProPublica in a letter supporting the bill. "This simple rule will incentivize the use of responsible contractors, rather than a race to the bottom."
The business community disagrees. At a hearing on the measure last month, a spokeswoman for the California Chamber of Commerce said the law would burden businesses.
"They don't want to violate the law," said Jennifer Barrera. "But they just don't know what to do or how to meet those obligations as we continue to increase the mandates on them."
Meanwhile, a lobbyist with the National Federation of Independent Business called the measure "a huge overreach."
Not taking on responsibility for legal and financial liabilities of contracted workers is "the whole reason you subcontract out," Ken DeVore told the Sacramento Business Journal.

This bill is a great start but lets address the employers and developers that classify their workers as subcontractors to avoid paying payroll burdens and skirt employer responsibilities

Pretty girl
13 when she
went missing
to her family
to her friends
to the world
but still missing
her self
In Liz Coley's alarming and fascinating psychological mystery, sixteen-year-old Angie Chapman must piece together the story of her kidnapping and abuse. Pretty Girl-13 is a disturbing—and ultimately empowering—page-turner about accepting our whole selves, and the healing power of courage, hope, and love.
About the Author
Liz Coley's short fiction has appeared in Cosmos magazine and speculative fiction anthologies. Her passions beyond reading and writing include singing, photography, and baking. She plays competitive tennis locally in Ohio to keep herself fit and humble.
With a background in science, Liz follows her interest in understanding "the way we work" down many interesting roads. Pretty Girl-13's journey into the perilous world of dissociative identity disorder is one of them.
Praise for Pretty Girl-13…

February 22-23, Final Days of the GBC Meetings
By Ananda Tirtha das[Note from ATD: I apologize and take responsibility for the prolonged delay in sending out this final report.]
February 22-23, the last two days of the 2009 GBC meetings, predominantly consisted of final voting and zonal assignments.
Every year, each GBC member's zonal areas of responsibility are reviewed and ratified for the coming year. It is interesting to note a gradual shift over the years with an increasing number of GBC members preferring to share their zonal duties with one or more "co-GBCs". This holds true not just for major projects like Mayapur, which has a six-man GBC committee, but even for smaller yatras like Latvia, Bangladesh, and Honduras. Another recent development is a number of non-GBC members holding zonal responsibilities.
The major change this year, however, was the induction of the first non-English speaking GBC member, Chaitanya Charan Chandra Das from Russia, and just the second female GBC member, Dina Sharana Dasi from Germany.
Chaitanya Charan Chandra, who is already an authorized diksa-guru in ISKCON, thus became the first GBC member to require translation of the proceedings, with Bhakti Vijnana Goswami doing the honours. And in recognition of Dina Sharana's sterling services as a European RGB member, she was unanimously voted on as an Assistant GBC member, by-passing the standard first stage of Candidate.
There are various levels of GBC members, beginning from Candidate GBC to Assistant GBC to Acting GBC to a full GBC member with voting rights. GBC Ministers (such as the Deity Worship Minister), Deputies (who assist the GBC) and Emeritii (or "retired" GBCs) make up the entire gamut of GBC membership.
For example, this year Hrdaya Caitanya Das was accepted as a full GBC member from Acting GBC and is now on the Executive Committee as Second Vice-Chairman. His Holiness Romapada Swami, last year's Vice-Chairman, was voted as this year's GBC Chairman, with Madhu Sevita Das as Vice-Chairman
(and thus probable Chairman next year). Kavicandra Swami continues as Special Duty Officer. These four devotees make up the Executive Committee
(EC) for this year.
The EC are elected representatives of the GBC delegated to carry out executive functions throughout the year such as implementation of the annual GBC resolutions, fielding concerns from the Regional Governing Bodies and others, and responding to matters of international scope.
A prominent theme of discussion of the final two days was farm development in ISKCON, with two farming-related resolutions being passed. Radha Krsna Das of New Vraja Dham in Hungary screened an informative powerpoint presentation highlighting the development, under Sivarama Swami's guidance, of their self-sufficient farm project. New Vraja Dham's success has attracted considerable attention from the Hungarian government and universities, who are now working in collaboration with the project. For more detials, please see the attached PDF or visit the www. ecovalley. hu website.
Syamasundara Das, European Minister for Cow Protection and Agriculture, also made a powerpoint presentation giving an overview of the current status of ISKCON farms around the globe based on a survey of 31 farms. Along with showcasing the need for more support and emphasis on farming and cow protection, the report included encouraging news, such as:
* The Irish farm is growing vegetables on four acres to supply three restaurants in Dublin.
* The Sussex cow sanctuary and several Indian goshallas are running businesses selling cow dung products.
* Bhaktivedanta Manor's new goshalla complex will be completed this summer.
* The Czech farm received funding 45,000 euros from the European Union for Vedic and traditional farming, has developed a good working arrangement with Prague temple, and is now looking for more land.
* The Vrndavana Goshalla has started ox-cart parikramas.
* The Mayapur Goshalla is using oxen for tourism and rubbish movement.
* The Tirupati goshalla contracts out ox teams to local people.
A final item of this year's meetings was the annual budget. Keeping in mind the current global financial crisis and not wanting to tax the temples further, Gokula Prabhu, new GBC Treasurer, together with the EC, prepared a budget for this year similar to last year's. The GBC Budget mainly funds the various GBC Ministries, the GBC Secretariat, and AGM-related expenses.
As always, the meetings concluded with thanks to the Chairman and the entire EC for their hard work during the year and the AGM, as well thanks to all the staff and Secretariat members who helped facilitate the meetings. As is a yearly tradition, Jayapataka Swami had gift packets for all the attendees.

When difficult times strike, you have the opportunity to witness the kindness of others. We have been in that position each time C visited the hospital. Friends stopping by the hospital, a homemade blanket, a toy car, or a cup of coffee go a long way when you're struggling. Now that we have experienced that side of volunteerism and kindness, it's become more important to me to pay it forward. I make an effort in teaching volunteerism to instill that value in our children. Giving to others is an important part of healthy living.
