Authors Blog Tour…A New Approach
Belinda Y. Hughes tagged me in this blog tour, which is a spin-off of the Writing Process blog tour, a blog tour she has participated in before.
Belinda's Bio

Belinda's blog tour post: http://belindayhughes.wordpress.com/2014/10/12/authors-blog-tour/
Here are Belinda's blog tour questions for me:
If you were beginning your writing career today, what would you do differently?
I would learn about social networking immediately. Authors are responsible for much of their own promotion and they need to understand the platforms so many readers use today. When I signed my first contract, Facebook, Twitter and Google might as well have been words from a foreign language. I've spent the last couple of years running to catch up while self educating on the vast wastelands of the internet.
What's the one thing about you that might surprise readers?
I'm a chronic hair twirler. Seriously, I always have a hank of hair entwined in my fingers. In fact, when I cut my hair in preparation for chemotherapy, my girlfriends saved a hank and sewed it into a headband so I could twirl while I was bald.
Tell us a little about your main character in your latest book.
Jane is a bit of a klutz but it's her free spirit that earned her the nickname, Calamity Jane. She lives life on her terms, despite her family's disapproval, and deals with the fallout from her choices with a shrug, and often, a grin.
What are some of your favorites…
Color? Green. Like the hills around our ranch in the mountains.
Food? Lobster. I grew up in New England, you see. Yummmmm!
Place? Well, you saw the pic of the road to my ranch and it's pretty terrific up there, but I grew up surrounded by water. The ocean, a calm lake, I love them both.
Now, I am tagging the following authors in this post:
JM is the author of passionate, heartfelt contemporary romance. She's a wife, a mother, a spiritualist, and lover of puppies, and happily addicted to coffee and chocolate. She lives in the rainy Pacific Northwest with her husband, two sons, and two very spoiled dogs. She's a hopeless romantic who believes everybody should have their happily-ever-after and has been devouring romance novels for as long as she can remember. Writing them has become her obsession.
Georgie Tyler lives on Sydney's leafy North Shore with her husband and three children. After years of being a stay-at-home mum she decided to branch out and return to university to study teaching and pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer. When she's not teaching or writing she likes to watch movies, catch up with family and friends, and has been known to dally on social media.
And last but certainly not least…
A proud Kiwi, I write Romance. Whether its fantasy or suspense, I love to take my readers off-the-beaten track to explore hidden pockets of New Zealand.
Like the heroines in my stories, I married my own gorgeous hero and have been blessed with both a son and daughter. I'm involved with the charitable organization, "Greyhounds As Pets" after falling in love and adopting my own ex-racing greyhound. Perhaps, in the back of my mind was the old adage of owners looking like their dogs; but sadly, my legs don't seem to have got any longer and my waist hasn't shrunk to minuscule proportions. But on a good note, at least my nose isn't any longer!
I want to thank all of the authors who participated in this blog tour. Let's keep it going! Feel free to link back to my post and tag other authors! Happy posting! :)
As a survivor, I know life doesn't end with a breast cancer diagnosis, and so does amazing author, Jim Cangany. As the husband of a survivor, he has first hand knowledge of the brutal and sometimes poignant battle for life, health and love.
He's shared that knowledge in the pages of his brand new release, Wish Upon A Star.
Annie and E.J. are on top of the world. Her concert world tour as Cassandra Lawrence was a smashing success and they've just announced their engagement to the world. Now that they're settled in at Annie's Northern California estate, it's time to relax and enjoy life. Until E.J. gets a call from her with news that's as devastating as it is unbelievable.
Annie has breast cancer.
Their love is tested in unimaginable ways as chemotherapy robs Annie of her health and her hair, but not hope. She holds on to the hope of beating the cancer and marrying the man she loves. While the key for Annie is to hold onto that hope, their future together may be lost forever unless E.J. can learn to let go. For its not until he can learn to forgive himself and let go of the guilt that haunts him that he can truly move forward and be the man Annie needs him to be.
Will the chemotherapy, mastectomy and radiation be enough to help Annie beat the cancer? Will E.J. face down the demons that haunt his past in time to save their love? Will they ever get that happily ever after Annie so desperately wants? While trust and faith in each other has gotten them this far, they'll need one more thing to make it to their finish line–hope.
On the edge of sanity, her courage tested, and convictions nearly broken, Hyla's final test of loyalty to her faith comes with the death of one she could have loved.
To celebrate breast cancer awareness month and 7 years of survival, I've made my survivor's guide, Where Would You Like Your Nipple?, FREE through 10/9.
Grab your copy and be sure to share the link with others. You never know who you might reach right at the moment they need encouragement.

MAXIMO VEGA is a "rock" star! The media proclaimed him 'The Sculptor for the New Generation,' but he's a reclusive artist ensnared by fame. Driven and intense, his isolation only adds to his mystique. Couple that with his smoldering good looks and rich Italian accent… Fans sigh his name.
EMILY BASKINS is a gifted graduate student at the Stoddard School of Art. To land an internship at the Vega Studio is her golden ticket. All she has to do is follow the rules. And stay out of trouble. Two things Emily has never been able to do.
As Max becomes trapped in the glare of the limelight, he discovers his greatest muse. He teaches Emily to breathe passion into clay and give marble a soul. But is their fiery relationship as rock solid as they believe? Or will a lie shatter the illusion?
Maximo Vega gathered his composure. He wore a black T-shirt, gray across the shoulders with dust, worn jeans, and heavy boots under a thick leather apron that reached to his knees. Hanging his head and bracing his hands on his hips, he was a study in frustration. The sleeves of his shirt hugged defined muscles of steely arms. And his hands…they were artist's hands. Sculptor's hands. Beaten by stone and scarred by tools. They spoke of years of rugged, blistering work.
He was tall. His shadowed jaw, rigid with anger, cut sharply against the tanned column of his neck. Maximo slapped the chisel on his leathered thigh. "I pay you. You find me good hands! Not idiota!"
"I'm sorry, Maximo. He's gone. You'll never have to work with him again."
The great artist's gaze slid over Emily. His eyes stopped at the white-knuckled hold she had on the large black portfolio.
He waved a hand toward her. "What are you?"
Emily's throat slammed shut.
"A new intern possibly," offered Dante. "She's here from the Stoddard School of Art."
Deep brown eyes the color of rich coffee, no cream, speared her beneath frowning brows. He flipped his hand toward the portfolio. "Come. Show me."
Emily shot a look to Dante. He gave her a tiny nudge, like a parent pushing a frightened child toward Santa's lap.
"Come, come, come." He snatched the portfolio from her numb fingers, unzipped it and laid it open across a crowded worktable. He used the rag in his hand to wipe the sweat from his lip as he flipped through photos and sketches of her latest works.
"Nice. Hmm. No." A nod for this one. A shake of the head for another. "Yes. This one is good. Good."
He looked away from her sketches and gave her a hard stare before looking down the full length of her and back again in a slow appraisal. Emily released the breath she was holding.
"Let me see your hands."
She held them out and he grasped her wrists and examined first her palms before turning them over. "Cold," he said just loud enough for her to hear.
The smell of the heat of his body and the spice of soap drifted past her.
He lifted a quick eyebrow. "Good."

I'm stoked to announce the release of
How to Seduce a Fireman
Vonnie Davis
Available at Amazon
The heat is on…
Book 1 in the 'Wild Heat' series – the hottest new fireman trilogy of the fall!
Cassie Wolford has crushed on fireman Quinn Gallagher ever since he moved to Clearwater three years ago. There's just one problem: he's always made it clear dating is out of the question. But once a Wolford sets their sights on someone, that person doesn't stand a chance! Cassie decides it's time for Quinn to get a dose of his own medicine… and sets out to show him what he's missing!
Quinn knows only too well what Cassie's up to but he can't give her what she wants. He isn't good for anyone, much less someone as sweet as his angel. Fighting her off hurts like hell, but giving her false hope of a happy ever after would be damn cruel. That's why he has to leave Clearwater.
Unfortunately, someone from his past has different ideas and when Cassie's life is threatened this former CIA operative is staying put, prepared to crawl through hell and back to keep her safe. And it looks like he might just have to.
Einstein whined and licked her face.
A pink wrapped gift on the nightstand caught her eye. Was it for her? Or was it something Wolf had left for Becca? But why would he put it here and not in Becca's bedroom? She reached for the oblong package and fingered the silver ribbon. A small gift tag read "To Cassie, from Quinn. Happy Birthday, Peanut."
Her heart rate kicked into the happy-to-be-me category. He'd bought her a gift. Even if it was something cheap and goofy, he'd thought enough of her to buy it and have it wrapped. So why didn't he bring it to her birthday party? Her eyes narrowed. Oh yeah, his mystery female visitor.
Pushing that thought aside, she slid the metallic ribbon off the box. No way could he have wrapped it so carefully. She slid her fingernail along the taped edge and folded back the iridescent pink paper. The embossed logo on the white jeweler's box impressed her. Had Quinn really gone to Zales to buy her a gift? She snapped the lid open and gasped. From a delicate gold chain dangled a filigree heart pendant. An angel nestled within the open scrollwork edging the heart. Small brilliant diamonds covered the angel's outstretched wings.
She blinked back tears. "Oh, Quinn, you do care. No matter what you say, you do care." When he'd kissed her last night, he'd called her his angel. Is this how he thought of her? As an angel who'd wormed her way into his heart? She slid two fingers beneath the pendant, the warmth of the gold soaking into her skin like the sun's rays on a bright June day. So beautiful. So fragile looking and yet solid, just like her feelings for him.
She pressed the white box to her heart and sighed. Her first jewelry gift from a man, and the man was Quinn.
Einstein sniffed what she held and then laid his chin on her shoulder, his black eyes studying her. She ran a finger between his eyes and down his muzzle. "I have an admirer. He's just too scared to admit it yet. Poor schmuck." She giggled with glee and the dog licked her face. "Poor chicken shit schmuck." The canine's tail beat a happy rhythm on the bed.

Reluctant Prince
Kingdom of Cymmera
Book One
Dani-Lyn Alexander
Betrayal lies cloaked in shadow.
Seventeen year old Ryleigh Donnovan is certain her life is cursed. Nothing ever goes smoothly, and her first job interview is no exception. An earthquake rocks the building, sending Ryleigh on a frantic search for her younger sister, a search which lands her in the hospital. Terrified they'll push her for answers she can't afford to give, Ryleigh flees with a mysterious stranger.
Jackson Maynard is about to be ordained as a Death Dealer, a warrior for the Kingdom of Cymmera, but first he must pass one more test. When he fails to acquire the human girl the prophet has chosen, he's forced to stand trial for treason. Banished from his realm, he seeks out the girl from the vision, Ryleigh Donnovan, and together they embark on a journey to save his dying kingdom.
Jackson clutched the stone wall of his chamber and gasped for air. What had just happened? He had returned to Cymmera, of that he was certain, but how? He hadn't accessed the gateway. At least he didn't remember opening it. A vision of her assailed him, beat at him, reminded him that he'd failed.
Oh, man. He was in trouble. He pushed away from the wall.
Images of his target taunted him.
He shoved a chair aside and tore through the pictures scattered across the table in a desperate search for salvation. There. He pulled the shot from the mess but found only condemnation. The long blond hair flowing behind her in the snapshot had not been visible to him, but there was no mistaking the deep blue of her eyes.
The pounding of a fist against the heavy wood door released him from whatever spell she'd cast.
"Jackson." Another loud thud punctuated his name.
He struggled to get his bearings, tried to slow the racing of his heart. "Yeah, one minute."
"Now. Your father wants to see you, immediately."
Kai, his father's most trusted warrior. He was in more trouble than he'd originally thought. Was it possible the king would sentence him to death for ignoring a direct order? Surely not without offering him a fair trial, or at least granting him the opportunity to explain. But what could he say? What explanation could there be for failing to deliver the girl? None.
"I won't knock again." The warrior would soon break down the door and drag him before the throne.
He crumpled the offending photo, the evidence of his disgrace, into a ball. Instead of tossing it in the trash as he'd intended, he shoved it into the small leather satchel he wore at his waist. With a deep breath, he released the latch and pulled open the door.
"Come." Kai turned his back on him and strode purposefully down the corridor, their footfalls echoing through the silence of accusation.
The thought of escape taunted him, but he would never make it out of the castle. He had only recently completed his warrior training under Kai's watch and would be no match for the seasoned soldier. Besides, Kai was a stickler for the rules. If he tried to run, the warrior would surely take him down, protégé or not.

the making of "breaking bread": attica creates a modern art & pop culture dining room at dine by design east
|Breaking Bread - a dining display by Christopher Joyce and Suzanne Saul from Attica for Dine By Design East 2014
We thought for our booth display that as we're NSCAD graduates, and because we're creating a dining room environment that helps to send someone to NSCAD, our intent would be to immerse the diner in modern art and pop culture. One wall is a tribute to Roy Lichtenstein, the other Andy Warhol, and the floor plays homage to Jackson Pollock. The wall made of burnt toast features Miley Cyrus, who is a current pop culture icon.

trouble sleeping? world renowned sleep expert visiting feb. 17th
The fact that good sleep is critical for our general health and well-being is scientifically proven. Despite this, sleep is not treated by healthcare professionals to the same degree that diet and exercise are addressed. "Getting enough sleep is vital for physical, mental and emotional health," states Dr. Neil Stanley. "Yet when it comes to feeling good and looking good, the importance of sleep is often overlooked."
Dr. Stanley continues, "Sleep is the missing side of the 'well-being triangle', which stresses that we should eat healthily, exercise regularly and, last but not least, sleep soundly. Today we have very targeted campaigns to tackle obesity and heart disease through healthy eating and exercise." Dr. Stanley feels that instead the focus is on prevention rather than cure. "The same focus is now needed for sleep, because poor sleep can be linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity; greater risk of accidents; lack of motivation and alertness at work; and mood swings, irritability and depression. It also has a negative impact on relationships and overall happiness."
In his seminar, "Sleep and Your Health", Dr. Stanley will define and discuss the stages of sleep, the benefits it provides to living well, the problems caused by lack of sleep, and strategies to sleep better.
"Sleep and Your Health" is a free-seminar. Seating is limited, so anyone wishing to attend should RSVP to email@example.com.
About Neil Stanley
Dr. Neil Stanley is a leading U.K. sleep expert who has been involved in sleep research for over 30 years, starting his career at the Neurosciences Division of the R.A.F. Institute of Aviation Medicine. In early 1990s he moved to the Human Psychopharmacology Research Unit, part of the University of Surrey, where as Director of Sleep Research he created and ran a 24 bed Phase I sleep lab. He is past Chairman of the British Sleep Society (2000-2004) and a member of the European Sleep Research Society; the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the European Society of Sleep Technologists. From 2004 to 2008 he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Assembly of National Sleep societies and through that is co-author of the Guidelines for accreditation of Sleep Medicine Centres and Sleep Medicine Education in Europe. He has published 35 peer-review papers on various aspects of sleep research and psychopharmacology and is widely quoted by the media as a sleep expert.

Fish-sale rules rapped
Low-value species should be marketed differently, MP says
The province and the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation have earned a federal rebuke over the decision to seize a shipment of U.S.-bound rough fish and lay charges against the fishers who attempted to export their catch.
Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan, a Conservative MP who represents approximately 1,200 Manitoba fishers, said he disapproves of actions taken by Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship and Freshwater Fish in the case against WMM Co-Op, a group of approximately 300 western Interlake fishers who attempted to export fish to the U.S. on their own.
The public criticism is among the first signs the Harper government may have an appetite to end Freshwater Fish's 44-year-old monopoly over the export of freshwater fish caught in Manitoba waters -- at least when it comes to rough fish such as mullet and carp, which command low or non-existent prices on the international market and are routinely dumped as wasted bycatch.
"I completely disagree with the course of action the FFMC and the province took there. I think that market should be made available to the fishers," Bezan said Tuesday in an interview from Victoria, B.C. "I think the argument Freshwater Fish makes is weak."
In 2011, Manitoba Conservation officers seized 7,700 kilograms of mullet and carp at a depot in Duck Bay, at Lake Winnipegosis. WMM Co-Op planned to sell the catch to Schafer Fisheries, an Illinois company that specializes in finding markets for low-value fish.
WMM Co-Op had already sold approximately 450,000 kilograms to Schafer under an export licence initially granted by Freshwater Fish, but cancelled after the Crown corporation learned some of the mullet was bound for one of its customers, a New Jersey gefilte fish processor.
WMM Co-Op's directors were charged under the Freshwater Fish Marketing Act. They've pleaded guilty and are awaiting an August court date.
Freshwater Fish president and CEO John Wood said earlier this month there was no choice but to charge the directors for violating the terms of the licence and the act. Although Freshwater Fish does not buy carp right now, it does pay a low price for mullet and the greater New York City market pays the highest price for the abundant species, formally known as white sucker.
The concern in Winnipeg is any reduction in the volume of fish processed at Freshwater Fish's Plessis Road plant will increase overhead, reduce profitability and ultimately deliver lower returns to fishers and taxpayers.
Bezan said he does not buy that argument when fishers aren't getting paid for the millions of kilograms of rough fish that are dumped on Manitoba lakes every year.
"FFMC isn't marketing those fish because the fishers aren't delivering them for the price they're buying them at," Bezan said. "If they don't become more flexible, the fishery is unsustainable."
The continuation of the status quo will lead so many fishers to quit the industry, Freshwater Fish will face dwindling supplies of the higher-value fish it successfully markets, such as walleye, sauger, yellow perch, northern pike and lake whitefish, said Bezan.
"Let Freshwater Fish do what they do well -- that is, take the higher-value fish -- and let the fishers find markets for the rough fish," he said. "We have to be a little more innovative and not be so narrow-minded in that we see ultimate control by the Crown corporation."
Saskatchewan, where fishers continue to sell to Freshwater Fish even though they no longer must do so, may be a model for Manitoba to pursue, he said.
Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh said the province supports the idea of dual marketing when it comes to rough fish -- up to a point.
"We have encouraged that FFMC exercise flexibility in terms of export licences to sell bycatch products," Mackintosh said Monday in an interview. "But that's with the expectation marketers observe the terms of the licences."

really Dec 16th 2008 (really like November after the elections) and Dpers, disenfranchised old world dems, a group of Palin supporters called team palin all banded together whether you realize it or not and held rally's in cities with only about 100 people in attendance each across the nation..... It's documented and it wasn't Paul supporters idea anyway. Hate to burst your bubble.
Why those 3 unlikely groups? Because no one was listening and we all needed to come together regardless. The disenfranchised felt they needed to teach the Rpers and the TPers how to fight.. They first used real Tea bags but nixed it cause the cities complained that they were polluting so they sent the tea bags to congresss peeps in the mail. There is a whole long story to it and the rules were in place but once Bachmann was allowed to join it became infiltrated.....It was taken over by the neo-cons via the press and their meme that it was a Republican group when it was not.....
But hey......it's old news...move on
Keepin' it real.

Another project from the Japanese (English-language version) Simple Modern Sewing book by Shufu To Seikatsu Sha. This time, I shortened the hem and sleeves, which I think gives it a more youthful silhouette.
The fabric is "Cross Shading Grey" by Architextures. So perfect for the warmer weather.

Who doesn't love a good sketch? It helps to take the guesswork out of the page and/or card design, but still allows you to put your own spin on things just be turning the sketch or altering it here and there. A few times a month, we'll be bringing you a new sketch, and showing you a few takes on the sketch by our designers. Today, we have our first sketch for November, courtesy of Becky Fleck.
"Hello Sunshine", by Jamie Harder.
I had so much fun playing with this sketch but I had even more fun mixing and matching collections on this layout! Even though this picture comes from a fall photo shoot, I really wanted the page to be bright fun colours to reflect the personality of these two! I am always amazed at how easy it is to mix and match all the collections - I feel like I say this every time but it is definitely something I LOVE about Bella Blvd products!
Tiny Tots: Borders, Treasures & Text, Paper Pieces, Chipboard Icons; Christmas Cheer: Christmas Crew; Summer Squeeze: Daily Details; Scattered Sprinkles: Just Write Journaling Stickers; Lucky Star: Saltwater Starz
"Love These Faces", by Jennifer Edwardson.
Playing with a PageMaps sketch is one of my favorite ways to create a layout. They are so fun and easy to work with and you're guaranteed a great layout at the end. I have this habit of taking a pic of Em & Alex with every gift they take out of their stockings on Christmas morning so I end up with A LOT of super sweet close ups. This sketch is perfect for photos like these! I didn't alter too much from the original design but I did add a solid base behind the smaller bits. The tone on tone yellow polka dot was great to layer on top of and really made all the other patterns pop off the page. Love how this one came together!
Christmas Cheer: Christmas Crew, Jingle All The Way, Making Spirits Bright, Borders, Daily Details, Paper Pieces, Trinkets, Treasures & Text
"Christmas Morning", by Allyson Meinholz.
As I was working on this sketch, the layout reminded me of a big present to the left of the photos. What better collection to use than Christmas Cheer, since it will be here before we know it and it is the #1 topic I NEVER seem to scrapbook. I think the many, many, many photos and multiple colors are so overwhelming to me. The Happy Hearts pattern was perfect the year my girls wore matching pink and red striped PJ's. One of our many family holiday traditions is that every year the girls get matching PJ's. They may be getting to old to have matching outfits, but never too old for matching Christmas PJ's!

Publishers Weekly09/09/2013
Ten years after the publication of Casanova and Hoyt's One-Dog Canoe, the collaborators bring back the heroine and dog of that book for a boisterous wintry sequel. Like its predecessor, this story also updates the folktale of "The Mitten": as girl and dog ride through the woods in a cozy red sleigh, one forest animal after another dives in (pity the pony pulling them along). Filled with rhymes, sound effects, cumulative lines ("Sorry, can't delay. It's a one-lynx, one-owl, one-squirrel, one-dog sleigh"), and anthropomorphic animal comedy, the story reads a bit like a more talkative and broadly humorous version of Lita Judge's Red Sled. Ages 4–8. (Sept.)

As the New Year approaches, Latest Thinking takes a look back over 2012 and highlights some of the developments and events in the world of Identity & Fraud.
After much consultation the FSA published its final version of the Mortgage Market Review on October 25th. The new rules arising from the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) will not change who will be lent to, but rather prescribe a more robust approach to income verification and affordability assessment.
Santa is a fraud. Just look at the warning signs, says device recognition specialist and Experian international partner iovation. It identifies one billion mobile devices globally and currently conducts 2.5 billion device reputation checks a year. It enables clients to assess the likelihood of transactions being fraudulent based on the device from which an application is made. Its sophisticated real-time risk assessment analytics stops some 150,000 potential online fraud attempts each day.
Many organisations strive to be customer-centric, putting their customers at the heart of their business. Indeed recent research from Experian highlights that 43% of consumers will buy more from a brand that understoods them and their engagements and treats them accordingly.
Given the ongoing economic squeeze on many households, tolerance, convenience and security are now the three critical issues and of acute importance for retailers and ecommerce sites.
The dilemma faced is epitomised by three separate findings made by Experian. On the one hand online shoppers will tolerate up to four minutes of checks before abandoning their transaction. But despite ecommerce's relative convenience, it is estimated that more than £1 billion worth of online transactions were abandoned as customers got frustrated at delays.
The recent momentum in labour market trends is rapidly easing in line with our expectations. While today's labour market release still shows a rise in employment in the three months to October, the magnitude of this increase (of 40,000) is disappointing compared to earlier rises of 100,000 and 212,000 seen in the three months to September and August, respectively.
New research from Experian reveals that some of the most affluent sections of society owe millions of pounds in unpaid council tax.
Experian has analysed £170 million of outstanding council tax debt owed to a broad range of rural and urban local authorities across England. The analysis revealed that 17 per cent (£28 million) is owed by people from the most affluent sections of society. When applied to all outstanding council tax in England last year, (£600m), the research suggests that almost £100m is owed by the most affluent sections of society.

Holy Crapola! Dumb and Dumber to. Finally a legit sequel with Jim Carrey and Jef Daniels coming back as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels signed on for a new Dumb And Dumber!!
Dumb And Dumber co-director Peter Farrelly insists the sequel is very much on. Peter, who'll direct the long-awaited Dumb And Dumber To with his brother Bobby, says: "If I told you the plot, you'd say, 'That's s***'. "But if I'd told you the first one – 'It's about two guys who find a briefcase and bring it to Aspen to meet a chick' – you'd say, 'You're f***ing with me. That's not a movie!'" Jeff Daniels says his co-star Jim Carrey is keen to take part in the film, despite earlier reports he'd pulled out.
I thought you guys were supposed to be Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber when they go to the party.

Jim Carrey is apparently back on board for the Dumb And Dumber sequel. The actor had dropped out of the planned follow-up to the 1994 comedy, to be titled Dumb And Dumber To, leaving the film's future uncertain.

Greener, more efficient chemical processes would benefit greatly from solid oxide catalysts that are choosier about their reactants, but achieving this has proven a challenge. Now researchers from Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a straightforward and generalizable process for making reactant-selective oxide catalysts by encapsulating the particles in a sieve-like film that blocks unwanted reactants.
The process could find applications in energy, particularly the conversion of biomass into sugars and then fuels and other useful chemicals.
A paper detailing the research, "Shape-selective Sieving Layers on an Oxide Catalyst Surface," was published October 28 in the journal Nature Chemistry.
Especially for selective oxidation, "The ability to conduct these reactions in a selective way opens doors to new applications in green chemistry and sustainability," said Justin Notestein, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and the paper's corresponding author. "Unlike current processes, which may require enzymes or precious metals, our method relies only on harmless, inert oxides. These are powders you can hold in your hand."
In testing their method, the researchers focused on photocatalytic oxidations such as the conversion of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehydes, reactions that are notoriously unselective. The researchers coated a core particle of titanium dioxide, a harmless white pigment, with a nanometer-thick film of aluminum oxide. They used a synthesis method that resulted in a film pitted with tiny holes they dubbed "nanocavities," less than two nanometers in diameter.
This sieve-like coating allowed only the smaller reactants in a mixture to slip through the holes and react with the titanium oxide, while larger reactants were blocked. The result was much higher selectivity (up to 9:1) toward the less hindered reactants.
The process was conducted at room temperature and required only a low-power light source, whereas other catalysts may require precious metals or hazardous oxidants.

Murals will highlight Les Paul, compliment guitars
Five murals proposed on downtown buildings
The artists decorating the 10-foot and regular-sized guitars for the Waukesha GuitarTown project have been hard at work for weeks.
Another set of artists could soon be at work in downtown Waukesha decorating murals to honor the late Les Paul, a famous musician and inventor who was born and is buried in Waukesha.
The conceptual drawings - which still need city approval - were recently released showing what the murals look like that could be on plastered on downtown buildings this summer.
If approved, the five murals will be painted during the Waukesha GuitarTown Encore festivities, which take place during the opening weekend of the Friday Night Live concert series June 7.
The walls that would have the murals are at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, between Main and South streets; Ace Hardware, at Main and Barstow streets; Bernie's Tap Room, 351 W. Main St.; the Waukesha Monument Company building, 384 W. Main St.; and the Springs Gallery Building, 521 Wisconsin Ave.
The St. Joseph mural would be red and have "The Workshop To The Stage," written across the top depicting Paul at his desk as the inventor in one section and him playing his guitar in another.
The Ace Hardware mural is orange and black and shows instruments Paul used with his nicknames "Wizard of Waukesha" and "Rhubarb Red."
The Bernie's Tap mural has a bold look to it and has the words "Les Paul" in cursive painted on top of six Gibson Les Paul guitars.
The Waukesha Monument mural stands out with a big blue Gibson Les Paul guitar next to the words, "Les Paul: An American Legend." Below that is a quote from Paul.
The final mural at Springs Gallery will spread across the building with the Waukesha GuitarTown logo and the words "Welcome to Waukesha" in yellow.
GuitarTown organizer Norm Bruce said these would be the first in a series of murals painted throughout the summer. They will be done by the Walldogs, a company that paint murals around the country.
"It should be an exciting and a fantastic summer as we expect so many different people coming to see what we have to offer," Bruce said.

10Mb MPLS? perhaps a network diagram may help.
Right we have a 2003 server with ISA 2006 on it acting as a proxy for some of our users to enable to them to use a faster internet connection although something weird is going on.
It has 2 NIC's on it, one external, one internal. When connected to a PC on the same LAN or on the other server quite with a 500mb fibre between it I can download a some 3/4Mb but when I use it on my PC on a LAN connected via a 10Mb MPLS the speed is only around 700Kbs and the network link isn't even saturated.
Our current internet pipe which goes to a central gateway is saturated hence the extra pipe, but something isn't right some where, any ideas?
10Mb MPLS? perhaps a network diagram may help.
MPLS - its a network Virgin Media have its basically a fibre into a cloud, doesn't provide internet just a site to site VPN but hosted centrally is how I gather it works.
I haven't got a network diagram as network's are not my responsibility just servers but I am trying to draw one up but it we have that many different networks going places its taking me time!

Madonna Loathes Hydrangeas, Obviouslyby Free Britney at . Comments
Madonna really likes Brahim Zaibat. Hydrangeas? Not so much.
Right before a press event for her new film W.E. at the Venice Film Festival, a fan presented the Queen of Pop with a branch of blossoming purple hydrangea.
Madonna thanked the fan, but didn't realize she was being taped when she quickly put the thing under the table, leaned over to some unknown person and said:
"I absolutely loathe hydrangeas. He obviously doesn't know that."
For real. Consider this a cautionary tale brought to you by THG and whoever filmed this incident. Don't make this same mistake, fans. You've been warned.
That hits the target dead center! Great asnwer!
She can dislike what she wants! She doesn't have to LOVE every single gift every one of her millions and millions of fans give her!
Wow, I didn't know Madge could be so snooty. Saw a funny parody of her snobbish remarks at the Venice Film Festival, by the way. http://youtu.be/RhyJhJYBTlY
Madonna is so self-absorbed. She actually believes that the whole world knows, or even cares, that she hates Hydrangeas? What a role model for her own kids...pity.
My thought is what a fake bitch showing her true colors along with her fake accent. Nice!
The rich.
I was sad and disappointed in someone i've admired and loved for many years, could be so cold i'm hoping it was just an off day for madonna
A small act of kindness, met with a snarky comment from an ungrateful has been.
Even though I don't care for Madonna's music, we must give her credit for still bring powerful even as an aging pop queen. As you get older, your eggs get bitchy demanding things that you only like. A true fan or a true man who wants to woo a woman or a queen must know what flowers she likes or there's no point--waste of money and waste of energy. Each flower has their own stuck-upness or prejudiceness to preserve their existence in the animal kingdom of hierarchy.
Self centered, ungrateful BITCH!

When you think of the desert southwest, you typically think of scorching heat in the summers, mild winters, and not much precipitation. Thunderstorms are rare and severe weather is even more uncommon. That being said, an episode of severe weather struck portions of Arizona like the state hadn't seen in years.
A strong upper low was parked over the desert areas and this provided lots of instability and also added some spin to the atmosphere. There were several confirmed reports of tornadoes in north central Arizona, not far outside of Flagstaff. There was substantial damage to structures and some neighborhoods were heavily damaged. Preliminary reports show that four twisters touched down outside of Flagstaff -- this is roughly equal to the number of tornadoes that the entire state of Arizona sees in an average year.
In addition to tornadic storms, there were also reports of massive hail on Tuesday afternoon. Not far from Phoenix, there were reports of hail up to the size of tennis balls, or 2.50" in diameter. That ranks in the top ten for largest hailstones ever observed in the state of Arizona. On a good note, the weather appears to be clearing out in this area, but now the cleanup will begin for many in northern Arizona.
If you have any questions about severe weather, feel free to post them in the comments section and I'll answer them!
