Romance/Contemporary Fiction For Review
Being Someone
By Adrian Harvey
Publisher: Urbane Publications
Published: July 2014 (ebook)
Published: June 2015 (print)
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance
Formats Available For Review: print (limited quantities available to qualified reviewers/bloggers only), pdf, epub, mobi
Our lives are a tale to be told, but how often do we fear the story in its telling? James has fallen through life, plotting a course of least resistance, taking each day as it comes and waiting for that indefinable 'something' to turn up, to give his story meaning. His journey lacks one vital element - a fellow traveller, a heart's desire - a purpose. Then he meets Lainey. Confident. Beautiful. Captivating. And James rewrites himself to win her heart. Lainey gives James a reason to grow, paints a bright future, promises the happy ending he has sought so keenly. But when we discover we can live the greatest story of all, are we able to share the pages with someone else? Being Someone is an emotive tale of love, of self-discovery and adventure - a story of the eternal search for happiness in another, without ultimately losing ourselves.

The interwoven complexities of life follow Talia Jacobs across time. In spite of the endless challenges, she leverages remarkable strength of character to pursue clear-sighted goals to achieve her dreams. Talia has been witness to more than just the mystical Seven Wonders of the World. She has swum in open oceans, hiked majestic mountains, chanted with monks, shared laughter and a meal with the poor, yet in slumber the echoes of voices calling out her name haunt her. Visions appear as a graveyard of unrequited souls left in her wake, aching for her return. What has she become? All Talia desires is wrapped up in the image of a ghost. She wants to believe he exists, her soul mate, the yin to her yang. If only she believed in fairytales.

Electric pulses of pleasure landscaped their bodies when they touched. Staring into each other's eyes they quietly appreciated the flux of emotions activating every synapse.

Their connection was divined and equally fated with the twists of challenge set to test their devotion to love one another. A warm embrace to them represented an unspoken promise of forever. Within each others hearts they were finally home.

Renowned pianist and singer Garry Danzlo has lost the will to live following a debilitating accident that stems from his father's suicide. His career halted, Garry wants nothing more than solitude, but a fun-loving nurse sent to rehabilitate him enters his life and changes everything.
Nurse and holistic healer Amanda Fields has a dream. She wants to adopt an eight-year- old boy named Robbie. In need of funds for the adoption, Amanda believes this temporary nursing position in Colorado is the miracle she's been waiting for, but what she has to contend with is far more than she ever expects.

Logo CritiqueOk, so I'm making this logo for a kids shoe boutique. Right now I'm using stock photo of a spider and shoes which I put together. I plan on drawing this spider with shoes myself, but BEFORE I do so I am looking for some feedback. What do you think of the idea, colors, layout, font, etc? Is it too many colors? Is the name of the store easy to read or are the dashes confusing? Thanks for any advice!
SarahTags: None
The ideas is nice.
There are a few technical problems. The old B&W chestnut - will it strip back? All of the finer details on the shoes would have to go, and so on.
I also have qualms about mocking up a logo from stock - will you be purchasing it, then tracing, or doing your own spider? I can't imagine the client wanting some stock image even if it is altered and usually there's some sort of stipulation on what you can and can't so with these things on purchase.
I'm not a fan of handwritten type that's just a font. The repetition sucks out the life that they're supposed to be expressing. I'd make them all slightly different.
Thank you for the feedback!
The old B&W chestnut - will it strip back? -- not sure what you mean by that?
As far as the spider and shoes, I plan on drawing my own from scratch in illustrator. You think it should be more simple, less details on the spider and shoes...and that will look better? Is that what you were saying? I didn't think of that, but sounds smart to me I will draw it more simple.
As far as the fonts, I was thinking o do more than one font... you don't think it will be too much going on?
What about too many colors, or is it ok?
I drew this spider, it's more simple...and made 3 different fonts. I still need shoes that will add some color. comments?
You haven't drawn a spider from scratch, you've traced the exact same spider with only two colors. You can't just change a few things and call it yours. As Roth pointed out, there are some things you aren't allowed to do with stock illustrations and using them for logos is usually one of them. I'd check the license on that bit of stock even if you did purchase it.
Also what Roth meant on the font was that handwritten fonts have characters that look the same. He meant for you to make the o's unique, not change to three different fonts.
Do you have any training in design theory? These are all basic observations a designer should know before taking on clients.
You have a 5spot color logo there. 6 including the black dots of the eyes.
How do you think I should fix the colors though? Make the shoes only one color? will be so boring no?
Originally posted by Bag of Design View PostHow do you think I should fix the colors though? Make the shoes only one color? will be so boring no?
You should be concentrating 100% on getting the logo right FIRST.
Then worry about color.
For storefront signage, more color might indeed be exactly what you want.
But don't get ahead of yourself.Heresy is a victimless crime.
Sketching not only helps you work out good ideas, it helps you get past the bad ones.
Neon??? Who still uses neon? You can get low voltage high output LED into just about anything — except some of those skinnyassed sans serif fonts designers are so fond of these days.
But, the trick is to get it far enough away from the face to avoid hot spots.
Actually we still use neon, but not to illuminate sign letters any more. More for accent work and true neon signage. And even the accent work is running into the tubular LED material that lights evenly. It's unfortunate that LED has become the wave of the future. Neon can be a true artform.
Final Version
Feedback welcome...this is my final version so far.
good idea

One of my goals for this week is to put into place boundaries and to do so without getting angry or frustrated with other people. This is not as easy as it sounds however. My whole life I've felt like I have to justify every decision and every emotion that I've felt or made. In the process, I've given up much of my own power to other people. I find that I wait for their approval for my decisions and feelings. What's wrong with this picture? Why do I place myself into situations where I am constantly vulnerable and living on the edge? I need to reassess my wants and needs and how I'd like to deal with certain situations. I need to be cheerful about what I can and can't do, cut out the guilt trips and take a stand from the very beginning when dealing with people who push my limits. I need to do this before I'm backed into a corner and start snarling, for my own sake as well as my overall relationships with others. If people know what to expect because I've communicated clearly, what my limits will be, many stressful situations can be avoided and some of this self created stress will resolve itself. This will help me to take care of myself and offer some degree of self protection. So, for the remainder of the month of March, I will try to set 1+ boundary per day in a very pleasant way, without feeling that I have to explain the reasons why I'm setting the boundary. I will journal my daily results and look for areas that need work and patterns that arise. Since this is a learning experience, it's okay if I mess up as long as I can look at the dynamics of the situations. I'm also going to look at how this affects my eating patterns. Am I eating to medicate myself from stress? I can certainly see how this could possibly hook into emotional and stress related eating as a result.
I had my foot doctor's appointment yesterday. The good news is that my heel bone is healing very well. The bad news is that just as we expected, I have strained my Achilles tendon. This means that although I can go back into the water (YES!) my foot is non weight bearing for all exercise for a minimum of 2 months. I can swim but no walking or water aerobics in the water. Since I've had back problems related to walking in the boot and had to take steroids, my 2 months rest can only begin once all steroid treatments have stopped. I have a back appointment on the 25th to see whether or not I need to have additional blocks on my back. If I do, the rest period begins on the date of my last block. This means that I may not be able to do any weight bearing exercise until sometime in the mid to late summer to avoid rupturing the tendon. The good news is that I can continue my weight routine from the bed without putting pressure on my legs and swimming or deep water exercise where my feet don't touch the bottom of the pool can be a different kind of aerobic workout for me. I also need to use a motorized cart when going someplace that requires walking. (Walking around the house is okay thank goodness!) So now it is up to me to buckle down and take care of myself. I think I'm creative enough that I can adjust to this and come out of it stronger than I was before I started. It may take a while to adjust but if I look at it as an adventure and a new way of doing something, I can adapt. It is certainly preferable to take care of it rather than rupture the tendon and go through the surgical process and rehabilitation. I will prevail!!!
I was so surprised when I logged onto SP and saw that I'm today's Pampered Princess. I am bowled over by the generosity of all of the people who wrote to me. To all of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so supportive. And, of all days too. I was feeling a little depressed because my foot has been tender the past 3 days and the doctor made me put my boot back on until I can see her on Thursday for another evaluation. It may just be that the tendons are tight from being in the boot for 5 weeks or it may not be healed enough to go without the boot. Either way friends, you all got me through this and I am ever so grateful!!! Thanks for making me feel pampered today!
I'm making great progress with my Pennies for Pampering! I had four perfect days last week! Yay me! I've been keeping my goal sheet right next to my food diary on the kitchen counter - that way I can check each thing off as I complete it! I'm going to add another goal to my list for the next two weeks as an experiment. What I'd like to see happen is for me to do some emotional growth goals. I'd like to start with giving other people clearer boundaries in a non-threatening way as my first emotional growth goal. We'll see how this plays out, as I will start out with baby steps and just see how it goes. I'll record what I do and the results in my journal every day. That way I can look at my behavior in black and white and see if any patterns develop. This could be interesting!
This morning I took the dogs for a walk and then my husband and I went out for breakfast. I was pleased that I automatically made good choices on the food that I ordered. Later we went to the hardware store and worked in the yard. Since we have family coming in this week for my FIL's 80th birthday bash, I know that time will be tight. My husband has challenged our daughter's significant other to a basketball shoot off in the park across from our subdivision. Hubby suggested that if I was up to it we could go shoot hoops. I dragged my boot back on to protect my foot and we took the dogs and a basketball over to the park. I must add that I gave hubby the basketball for Valentine's Day in hopes that we could add some exercise to our daily routine. It was a challenge for me with the boot on my foot, but I walked so much yesterday that my heel was slightly tender so I didn't want to chance it. I'm used to rolling up on the balls of my feet to shoot the basket. It was hilarious watching me try to maneuver to get the ball in the basket!
Hubby was rusty too and if he's going to hold on to the title of family champion, he has some serious work to do by Friday!!!! Anyway, he was so patient with me (didn't once poke fun at me) and kept encouraging me to come up with a way to shoot the basketball and get it close enough to go into the hoop. I did it!!! He was amazed! I shot 4 consecutive baskets from the right end side of the key! After about 30 minutes of laughing and carrying on, we were both pooped and it was getting a little warm outside so we bundled up the pups and headed home. We're both pleased with our progress so far. It was a wonderful day and a lot of fun! It just goes to show, you can overcome almost anything if you really want to achieve something.

A lieutenant with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department resigned last week, but a criminal investigation by state law enforcement continues.
Jennifer Wallschlaeger, a spokewoman for the sheriff's department, said Sarah Massa resigned from the force on Wednesday, March 5.
Wallschlaeger confirmed that the former lieutenant is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) for unspecified reasons.
The investigation was referred to the DCI by the Waukesha Police Department. Dennis Angle, deputy chief for the department, said in December that he had received a complaint against Sarah Massa and he chose to refer it to state authorities.
Sarah Massa is married to former City of Waukesha police officer Chris Massa, according to marriage records.
Chris Massa recently resigned from the department after being accused of "sexting" with his wife in private areas of the department while on duty, the release states. Evidence supporting the allegation was found on Sarah Massa's phone, the release claims.
Sexting is the act of sending sexually suggestive texts or images through a wireless device, typically a cell phone.
Waukesha Police Chief Russell Jack said he was "disappointed" in Chris Massa.
"His actions tarnish the badge we are all proud to wear," he said in a statement.
Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said that the DCI's report on Sarah Massa has been forwarded to his office and it is being reviewed for potential charges. He said for ethical reasons he could not say anything further on the matter.
A spokeswoman for the DOJ said she could not comment on an active investigation, but confirmed charges have been referred to the DA's office.
Sarah Massa has been with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department since 2001.

THE immediate reactions were shock and sadness from across the globe as news of Phillip Hughes' tragic death filtered through on Thursday.
AS cricket wrestles with what to do next after Phillip Hughes' death, RON REED writes the first Test should proceed with the result mattering less than the symbolism of playing.
PHILLIP Hughes' family and Australian captain Michael Clarke have delivered an emotional goodbye after the batsman tragically died from a head injury today.
AUSTRALIAN cricketer Phillip Hughes has died after being struck in the head while batting at the Sydney Cricket Ground. He was 25.
IT is doubtful whether any incident has caused more widespread grief in Australian cricket than the loss of one of the game's most likeable characters.

World Superbikes
07 June 2014 11:26
After leading through free practice for the entire weekend, Sylvain Guintoli became the first rider to score two superpole wins for the 2014 season with a blistering qualifying display at Sepang.
Although there was a late push from Kawasaki man Tom Sykes and Ducati's Davide Giugliano - who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively - it is the Aprilia man who now goes into race day as the firm favourite, having never failed to lose the lead on the timesheets for the entire session.
Elsewhere on track, Syke's teammate, Loris Baz could only manage a second row start finishing sixth on the sheets, having slipped on the final corner of a rapid run which would potentially have seen him grabbing pole from his compatriot. Alex Lowes put in a solid display to make it through SP1 and to sit his Voltcom Crescent Suzuki in 9th but it was a disappointing run for Marco Melandri on his Aprilia, who couldn't carry his matching of Guintoli's pace from free practice into the final superpole session and saw his weekend's efforts so far culminate in a 5th place start for the first of tomorrow's races.

'Ori and the Blind Forest' Will Melt Your Heart and Your Thumbs
The first thing that strikes you about Ori and the Blind Forest is the gorgeous atmosphere. The dark, natural whimsy evokes a Miyazaki film, and the physics of flowing water and swaying trees alone were enough to pique my attention. But playing through two sections of a preview build brought this game's rich mechanics and difficulty to the fore. Ori's aesthetics are matched by a compelling world -- an adventure wrapped in puzzles like many of the 2D forebears that inspired it.

Hobfoll, S.E., B.J. Hall, D. Canetti-Nisim, Sandro Galea, Robert Alan Johnson, and P.A. Palmieri. 2007. "Refining our Understanding of Traumatic Growth in the Face of Terrorism: Moving from Meaning Cognitions to Doing what is Meaningful." Applied Psychology-an International Review-Psychologie Appliquee-Revue Internationale, 56(3): 345-366.
Recent studies related to global terrorism have suggested the potential of posttraumatic growth (PTG) following experiences of terror exposure. However, investigations of whether psychological distress is reduced or increased by PTG in other trauma contexts have been inconsistent. Results from our studies conducted in New York following the attacks of 11 September 2001 and in Israel during recent tumultuous periods of violence and terrorism, the Al Aqsa Intifada, have found posttraumatic growth to be related to greater psychological distress, more right-wing political attitudes, and support for retaliatory violence. Only when individuals were deeply involved in translating growth cognitions to growth actions in our research on the forced disengagement of settlers from Gaza did we find positive benefit in posttraumatic growth. Findings are considered within the framework of a new formulation of action-focused growth.

Didn't want to hijack the other thread regarding shared desktops so thought I'd best create my own.
We use shared desktops and start menus which are administered through GPO. Essentially we have a seperate GPO for teaching staff, admin staff and students and as a result the GPO's are user based.
Our teaching staff are all allocated a school laptop, however, as a result of the shared desktop their laptops pick up the desktops as set by the GPO. This isn't ideal as obviously once the laptops are being used offline, the shortcuts and start menu no longer function correctly. Is it possible to setup a gpo which will overwrite the user based policy so that we can allow teaching staff to setup their own personalised desktop on their laptops? Has anyone successfully achieved this?
Hope this makes sense.
Many thanks

A vivid portrait of an uncommon friendship that spans generations, uniting the wisdom of youth with the spark of old age
They met under the least auspicious circumstances. He was a teenage volunteer at a nursing home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. She was a wheelchair-bound resident in her nineties. He was poor, Hispanic, living in a rented room in the barrio, separated from his family. Her life, at least before arthritis hobbled her, was comfortable, and her daughters and grandchildren visited as often as they could. But when Margaret Oliver's daughter hired Elvis Checo to look in on her mother a few afternoons each week, nobody realized that this would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
In His Oldest Friend, Sonny Kleinfield of The New York Times takes us inside the lives of these two unlikely friends to explore the world of the very young and the very old, showing how underappreciated these groups often are—a mystery to one another and to so many of us in the middle-class adult population. Too often we tend to group together "youth" and "the elderly," submerging individuals into a group identity. But Elvis and Margaret offer each other that rarest of gifts: recognition and affirmation as a unique human being. Kleinfield opens their lives to us, and shows how their bond of friendship rescued each of them from the bleakness that defeats so many of the youngest and oldest among us.
Sonny Kleinfield is a reporter for The New York Times and the author of seven previous books. He has contributed articles to The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Esquire, and Rolling Stone, and he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal before joining the Times. He shared in a Pulitzer Prize for a Times series on race in America and has received a number of journalism awards, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Meyer Berger Award, an American Society of Newspaper Editors Award, and the Gerald Loeb Award. A native of Fair Lawn, New Jersey, he is a graduate of New York University and lives in New York City with his wife and daughter.
"An important, powerfully written, quite touching book."
--Robert Coles, author of The Moral Intelligence of Children
"A poignant, yet militant account . . . that will make stones weep." --Michael Harrington, author of The Other America

Joseph W. McQuaid: City should honor all fallen officers
Manchester aldermen who voted Tuesday night to honor one fallen police officer by naming the new station for him do a dishonor to another fallen police officer. They can do better.
One way, as Alderman Joe Kelley Levasseur suggested, would be to name the new station for Michael Briggs and Ralph Miller. A better way would be to come up with a suitable memorial within the new building that would honor all police officers who lose their lives in public service.
The current Ralph Miller Public Safety Center is not named for some ancient memory. Officer Miller was shot down in 1976. His murderer is still very much alive and still in prison. The Miller family, including his widow, children, and parents, still live here.
Police Chief David Mara said the Briggs family, which lost their loved one in 2006, should get to see the same honor bestowed on him as was bestowed on Miller.
That is a fine sentiment. But what happens, God forbid, if in 20 years another officer is killed?
Will the Briggs family be shunted aside? Will they feel then as the Miller family and friends must feel now?
We understand that emotions are still raw for those who served with Officer Briggs. His killer faces the death penalty. Appeals may linger for years. But emotions are also still very much alive for those connected with Officer Miller. And what of the sacrifice of Officers McAllister and Moher, who died in an earlier era?
This need not be an either/or choice.
The aldermen would do themselves and the city proud by taking a new vote to suitably honor all officers who have given their lives to serve and protect their city.

Obituary: Sydney Flanzbaum
Date: February 3, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Temple Beth Israel's first president, Sydney Flanzbaum, of Sarasota and formerly of Longboat Key, died Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010. He was 99.
Born in Boston, he was a former resident of Providence, R.I. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology from the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Flanzbaum built a shoe store he inherited from his father into a chain of leased shoe departments. He later sold the business and became vice president of Zales Corp.
Mr. Flanzbaum retired to Longboat Key, and in April 1979, he invited a group of friends to his condominium to discuss the idea of forming a Jewish temple on Longboat Key. In January 1980, the Reform Jewish Congregation Beth Israel of Longboat Key received its charter from the state. The next month, Mr. Flanzbaum was elected as the first president of the temple.
A service will take place at 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at Temple Beth Israel. Memorial contributions can be made to Jewish Family and Children's Service, 2688 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, Fla. 34237, or Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road, Longboat Key, Fla. 34228.

State Senator Bill Galvano to visit Willowbrook community today
Date: February 1, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
Senator Bill Galvano will visit East County's Willowbrook community today to gauge the progress of repairs to its homes.
Residents have reported issues of sinking floors, separating window frames, wall moisture and mold due to water intrusion from balconies.
At a Manatee County Board of County Commissioners meeting Oct. 30, county building department officials blamed the structural problems on KB Home, the development's builder.
During that meeting, John Barnott, director of the county's building and development services, reported findings of county inspections and blamed the community's issues on "weatherproofing and quality-of-construction issues that are not subject to the building code."
Galvano, who served in the Florida House of Representatives since 2002, until being elected to the Senate in November, visited First Watch in Lakewood Ranch last month, when Willowbrook residents asked Galvano to push for a lemon law for housing.
In September, the Willowbrook Condominium Association hired DueAll Construction to make repairs.
However, residents still complain about faulty repair work and say nothing has changed.
At the time the repairs began, DueAll offered no timetable for its completion.
Today, Galvano will evaluate the grounds himself.

People said that the basic colour was 'black on white'. The artist replied: "No, it is not black – it is midnight blue." The group said it was black and the artist insisted it was midnight blue, and an argument ensued. I sat still and listened as it became more heated.
I decided that the artist was right. I had two reasons – the first was that he had studied the subject and so knew more about it than the rest of us, so we should respect his professionalism. Secondly, from a physics point of view, the midnight sky is dark but not black – it is suffused with a scatter of starlight from billions of stars.
So I put up my hand, entered the discussion and announced that the artist was right. That stopped the argument and the artist was really relieved. He later thanked me for saving his pride. That was an interesting learning experience for me too – to remember to respect the professionalism of others, even when an answer seems obvious to those not trained in the subject.
Before Christmas, I looked up into the night to watch the International Space Station (ISS) race across the sky. In fact, it seems to lazily drift across the star-studded background but, in reality, it is travelling at a tremendous speed, a speed that makes international jet travel appear to be a snail's pace.
I knew exactly where to look and at what time and, exactly on time, the ISS appeared. It is emotional, because one knows that there are people up there looking down. I mentally waved and thought: "Hi guys, I wish I were up there with you."
When Bill Clinton was President of the US,
I personally asked him to arrange a flight in the space shuttle for me, and he said he would tell the people concerned, which he then did as I stood there. Well, heck, I can hope, can't I? I hoped that one of those aides would somehow filter my name back to the people who take such decisions.
During the early 1930s, Fritz Zwicky, a professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology, realised that faraway galaxies were moving "too fast" for the maths.
Zwicky was very hung up on symmetry, and he referred to people he did not like as 'spherical' bastards – 'spherical' because they were bastards, "whichever way you looked at them".
By 1936, corroborating evidence had been found by Sinclair Smith, of the Mount Wilson Observatory. Over the next 30 years, the evidence mounted, but it was astronomers Vera Rubin and Kent Ford who clinched the case. The conclusion was reached that the universe is full of 'dark matter'.
Famously, one cannot see a black cat in the dark, but this is not the case with dark matter. We cannot see it because we cannot see it – we don't know why. It is not a case of it being invisible because no light is shining on it. So we still have to find out what it actually is. But it is there.
These particles grew to become galaxies as eons of time passed. So all the galaxies, stars, planets and our bodies came from nothing less than a quantum jitter.
This means that photons of energy suddenly appear out of nowhere, for a moment, and then disappear back into nowhere. This is happening all the time. Wow!
Dutch physicist Hendrik Casmir figured out how vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field could actually be detected. In 1977, Steven Lamoreaux, of the University of Washington, experimentally confirmed Casmir's predictions. So empty space is teeming with quantum activity.
As a new year unfolds, there are great volumes of wonderful stuff to explore and discover. Many great, wondrous revelations are still waiting in the wings to spring onto the stage of understanding.
Over 300 years ago, Isaac Newton said: "The whole ocean of truth is still out there." It is still the case.
