Bosnia marks 100 years since killings sparked world war
Sarajevans crowded the same street where 100 years earlier Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip fired two shots, killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, and lighting the fuse that ignited World War I.
The Associated Press
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Artists and diplomats declared a new century of peace and unity in Europe on Saturday in the city where the first two shots of World War I were fired 100 years ago.
On June 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated in Sarajevo, where he had come to inspect his occupying troops in the empire's eastern province.
The shots fired by Gavrilo Princip, 19, a Serb, sparked the Great War, which was followed decades later by a second world conflict. Together the two wars cost some 80 million Europeans their lives, ended four empires — including the Austro-Hungarian — and changed the world.
Visiting the assassination site Saturday, Sarajevan Davud Bajramovic, 67, said that to hold a second of silence for every person killed just during WWI in Europe, "We would have to stand silently for two years."
A century later, Sarajevans crowded the same street along the river where Princip fired his shots. The Austrians were also back, but this time with music instead of the military: The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performed works of European composers reflecting the century's catastrophic events and concluded with a symbol of unity in Europe: the joint European hymn, Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."
Austrian President Heinz Fischer said Europeans "have learnt that no problem can be solved by war."
The continent's violent century started in Sarajevo and also ended in Sarajevo with the 1992-95 war that took 100,000 Bosnian lives.
"If anything good can be found in this repeating evil, it's more wisdom and readiness to build peace and achieve peace after a century of wars," said Bosnia's president, Bakir Izetbegovic.
The splurge of centennial concerts, speeches, lectures and exhibitions Saturday were mostly focused on creating lasting peace and promoting unity in a country that is still struggling with divisions similar to those of 100 years ago. The rift was manifested by the Serbs marking the centennial by themselves in the part of Bosnia they control, where a performance re-enacted the assassination.
As Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Moest raised his baton in Sarajevo, an actor playing Princip descending from heaven on angel's wings, raised his pistol in the eastern town of Visegrad, at the border with Serbia, to kill Franz Ferdinand again in a performance designed for the occasion.
For the Serbs, Princip was a hero who saw Bosnia as part of the Serb national territory at a time the country was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His shots were a chance for them to include Bosnia in the neighboring Serbian kingdom, the same idea that inspired the Serbs in 1992 to fight the decision by Muslim Bosnians and Catholic Croats to declare the former republic of Bosnia independent when Serb-dominated Yugoslavia fell apart. Their desire is still to add the part of Bosnia they control to neighboring Serbia.
Serbian crown prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, President Tomislav Nikolic and the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Irinej, attended the ceremony in Visegrad, where Serbian flags flew and the Serbian anthem was played, although the town is in Bosnia.
Vucic said he was proud because in Visegrad, "The Serbs are protecting their good reputation."
Vucic, a former hard-line nationalist-turned pro-European Union reformer, previously said he considered going to Sarajevo for the centennial but gave up after realizing he would have to stand beside a plaque depicting Serbs as criminals.
A plaque at the entrance of the recently reconstructed Sarajevo National Library building, where the concert took place, states that "Serb criminals" set the library ablaze in 1992 along with its 2 million books, magazines and manuscripts.

Climb aboard the Palmetto, our 45ft catamaran, versatile enough to venture down secluded creeks and handle the harbor's waters smoothly. With a capacity of only 49 passengers, everyone will experience a personalized atmosphere.
*Please note, if less than 10 people booked on tour smaller boat may be taken out*
Feel the cool breeze of the Charleston Harbor as you hear bone-chilling tales all about:
- The Hanging of Stede Bonnet, "The Gentleman Pirate"
- Tragic deaths and the lost fortunes left behind
- Soldiers and fishermen lost to the dark waves of the Harbor
- Ships that appear as a warning to seafarers
- The Holy City's long history of bloody wars and devastating storms
Under the cover of darkness, you never know what might be lurking, and after a few ghostly reminders, you won't feel quite so alone on the peaceful waters.
We'll make sure you will never see this seaport the same way again!
What Is Not Included?
Meeting Location
- Is this tour suitable for children?
- You know your children best! Although we do tell a few ghostly stories along the way and the cruise does take place in the dark, we do not enter any haunted places or create an atmosphere that would frighten young children. However, we do ask that you do not bring children ages 3 or younger with you, as the content may frighten infants.
- Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
- Advance purchase is strongly recommended, and cruises often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please book well in advance. Tickets can be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
- Why does the schedule only list events running in the next couple of weeks?
- The Sandlapper is a very popular choice for private charter sailing. We therefore only open the boat to public sails a few weeks in advance. If the date you are looking for is not currently listed in the schedule, please check back at this website frequently for updates, or contact Sandlapper Tours by clicking the "Contact Sandlapper" link. New events and sail times are added quite frequently, especially as the sail date draws near.
- What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
- For children between the ages of 4 and 12, you can purchase a reduced price Child ticket. We ask that you do not bring children ages 3 and younger with you on the cruise, as the content of the tour may frighten infants. If you would like to attend with your infant, check out our other cruises!
- What exactly do we see on the tour?
- On this one of a kind tour, you'll experience a scenic cruise all around the Charleston Harbor and see sites of famous ghost stories and other historically significant landmarks. The cruise takes place in the dark, which adds to the ghostly atmosphere. You'll be able to see the Charleston skyline, churches, and bridges lit up for the night.
- Are drinks or food served on the tour?
- Beer, soft drinks, and bottled water, as well as a full snack bar are available for purchase on board.
- Can I bring my own food or drinks on the tour?

- What happens if it rains?
- Your captain and crew watch the weather forecasts closely and want to ensure your tour is a safe, enjoyable, memorable experience. In the event the current or forecasted conditions get in the way of that happening, requiring us to cancel, we will contact you as soon as possible to join us at another date/time.
- Does the tour include any stops?
- No, we will be on the water, cruising the entire time. If you would like to explore the areas that we pass on the tour, just ask your guide or captain. They'll be happy to point you in the right direction after the cruise.
- Are there restrooms on the boat?
- Yes, the boat is equipped with a bathroom that is accessible at all times. We call it a "marine head" and it is unlike the bathroom you use at home. It involves pumping and there are simple directions posted in the bathroom on how to use it.
- What should I wear?
- We recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather. It can often be a few degrees cooler out on the water in spring and fall. Also flat-soled, closed toed shoes are a good idea.
- Can I stow anything during the tour?
- You can bring any items that you would like to enjoy on the tour, but we do have limited storage space, so please try to keep large items to a minimum. Please keep in mind that while the captain will always be on board, we cannot take responsibility for any broken, lost or missing items.
- Where does the tour finish?
- Our tour will end at the same pier from which it departed.

- Does the Palmetto have handicapped/wheelchair accessibility?
- The Palmetto's handicapped/wheelchair accessibility is somewhat limited. There are 4-5 wide, sturdy steps to board the Palmetto, but once on board there is plenty of space. Family or friends in your group would just need to provide some assistance with boarding, to account for the steps. If you do have any questions or concerns, please click on the "Contact Sandlapper" link to inquire.
- Are you allowed to bring dogs on the tour?
- No. Unfortunately no dogs are allowed on the boat.

Vizio has begun its 'Million Dollar Event' weekly 55-inch LCD giveaway
Well "America's HDTV company" is trying to give back to everyone who wants high-def splendor in these trying economic times.
After shelling out big bucks to be the high-def sponsor of Super Bowl XLIII, perhaps you saw Vizio's ad run during the Steelers' victory on Sunday. The ad and sponsorship also kicked off a campaign by Vizio, which has quickly risen up the flat-panel market ranks, to give away a million dollars' worth of HDTVs.
The company will award 28 weekly winners with a 55-inch XVT LCD HDTV, with 1080p resolution and 120 Hz technology. (Click here to enter its "Million Dollar Event.")
Not a bad way to say thanks, as the company proclaims it's doing via the contest, to everyone who's made the value play for a Vizio—whose recent plays have also been in the green and premium categories.
The first winner will be picked the week of February 23, 2009, and the last during the week of August 31, 2009. Registration ends August 14. Sounds like there'll be plenty of competition for the TVs, as the company says website visits are up 400 percent since the Super Bowl.

Who Runs the NRA?
The More We See Them…. the less….
Self-destruction by media exposure is a common thing, especially for right wing American politicians. That list is long. Soon, it appears, we will be adding the NRA to it.
There are some fascinating angles here and not just from the bizarre "Enemies List" that has surfaced (Mike Myers's former wife is an enemy to be feared by the NRA? So is Vinny Testaverde?).
I'm particularly taken with the way that a relatively tiny group has gained control of the NRA, a venerable organization that was once concerned with hunting and safety issues, and has now become an exceedingly shrill mouthpiece for a shady little industry that peddles death.
2012 stats for the industry, show sales of 1,425,500 rifles, 777,125 shotguns, 889,125 pistols and 352,625 revolvers. $11.7 billion in sales. 35,000 people are employed by the industry's 465 gun and ammo manufacturers. 32 percent of US households now own a gun. There are more than 50,000 retail gun dealers.
To put that in perspective, the US market for Wine is now around $30 Billion, for footwear, around $48 Billion, for Beer, something close to $196 Billion and Tobacco around $75 Billion.
The NRA has a 76 strong Board of Directors, heavily larded with genuine right wing extremists. Robert Brown, publisher of Soldier of Fortune Magazine is one. Ted Nugent, tasteless one time rocker, is another. There are multiple links on one side to the firearms industry, and on the other to militias, right wing skinhead groups, even the KKK.
None of this fits with the lingering image of Charlton Heston hefting his antique Kentucky long rifle and intoning …"from my cold, dead hands."
Instead, it conjures up a crazed, probably racist white nut job, cradling a semi-auto, AR-15 based, military style, "fun" gun, with 25 round magazine in place and some others on his belt.
What is interesting is that apparently, on average, only seven percent of the NRA's membership ever votes in the group's elections. And the nine-person Nominating Committee holds effective control over whoever will get a shot at being elected to that Board of Directors.
So, who really controls this weird lobby creature?
That seems to be hard to discover. Most of the 76 Directors are there for show. A few, those with the industry links are there to control the money pipeline. A handful, like Nugent, are good at grabbing headlines.
And there lies the Achilles heel of this odd monster of the American psyche. As long as the NRA was something that most people associated with hunting and fishing and gun safety courses for youngsters, well, it was okay. A bit strange, perhaps, like venison meatloaf, or a house heavily decorated with the heads of dead animals. More about flyover country and Texas than where most Americans live and work. Something that Uncle Elmo was into, and you always prayed that he wouldn't show up at Thanksgiving, especially with the venison.
But now, with Wayne LaPierre regularly scoring headlines for massive political obtuseness and downright nastiness — like calling the President a hypocrite because his daughters have Secret Service protection, just like any other recent president's kids — a new dynamic is at work.
Charlton Heston is fading out. Crazy Ted Nugent has replaced him.
And, guaranteed, the more Nugent and LaPierre show up on national TV, mouthing bizarre, often threatening verbiage, the less Americans in general will like them.

HBO's 'Normal Heart' Full Trailer Diagnoses a 'Conspiracy' (Video)
Ryan Murphy directs a cast led by Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer and Taylor Kitsch in the May 25 movie.
HBO has a full-length trailer for Ryan Murphy's The Normal Heart, which will air ahead of Sunday's Game of Thrones.
The Normal Heart, written by Larry Kramer, who won a Tony for his 1985 play of the same name, explores the onset of the HIV/AIDS crisis in New York in the early 1980s, including the struggles faced by gay activists and their allies in the medical community to expose the truth to a city in denial.
THR COVER: Inside the 30-Year Struggle to Make 'The Normal Heart'
The new footage opens with an innocent summer party in 1981, before Craig Donner (Jonathan Groff) suddenly falls ill during a beachside game of catch. "I've never seen or heard of anything like this," Dr. Emma Brookner (Julia Roberts) observes. "This only seems to be happening to gay men." There are glimpses of Ned Weeks (Mark Ruffalo) appearing on television accusing the government of "a conspiracy to murder all gay men," being detained as he pleads with the mayor for help and Bruce Niles (Taylor Kitsch) telling Ned some harsh truths.
Watch the preview below.
The Normal Heart debuts May 25 at 9 p.m. on HBO.

I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea. My HG BB is MAC's Prep and Prime in the tube (Light) but wanted to try this to compare. I'm NC15 and Finland was a good match. The texture and finish of the NARS is very similar to MAC but I find MAC's a bit creamier and easier to apply. This one has fragrance though luckily didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I prefer MAC's since it has no discernable scent and I generally avoid fragrance in skincare like the plague. Both toned down the redness from my rosacea but neither completely cover it.
Here's a comparison picture of the NARS on the left and MAC on the right.

I've been using this tinted moisturizer for a year now and I absolutely love it! I brought the shade "St.Moritz" and for the summer "Annapurna". This product is amazing on my skin it evens out my skin tone and its a little sheer so it wont cover everything, like freckles or dark acne scars, but I prefer it that way. I love the way it gives me a nice glow and my skin looks healthy and natural. The shade St.Moritz matches my skin perfectly because I have yellow undertones and it does oxidize but the color doesn't change in shade too much. So far it hasn't given me acne and I am grateful for that. I apply the product with a makeup sponge or beauty blender and it's pretty easy to blend and work with. When the day is done it can easily be washed off and it leaves my skin smooth and to me my skin has a subtle glow. I am willing to pay the price even though its pretty pricey because this product has done me good for a year. The only negative I would say is that when you take pictures with the flash the SPF can make its appearance on pictures.
I recently bought NARS TM in Alaska after using so many bb creams and wanting a product that was light but provided coverage. This TM was pretty spot on for my NC30 skin and although sheer give a nice light coverage. Kept me pretty much matte all day although I do not have particularly oily skin (rather dry/combo). Really lovely stuff and has SPF too which is an added plus.
I bought this as my summer face makeup because I wanted a lightweight coverage that would let my skin breathe and had decent SPF protection. I was recommended this by a store employee when I went to Sephora. Initially, I liked it but the more I wore this, the more I found it to be oddly thick and I could feel the makeup on my face toward the end of the day. I have fairly oily skin and I felt that this only added to it (I don't think the formula is oil-free). The coverage is good (for sheer coverage) and applies evenly but I find that for a tinted moisturizer, this feels heavy on my skin. It's not bad and I still wear it from time to time, but it certainly isn't my go-to product.
More reviews by makeupalleyusername27
Nice product. It feels light on the skin and is comfortable to wear. I have light skin with a yellow undertone and I wear the shade Alaska. Although it might be a tiny bit too dark for me, this product is so blendable and forgiving that once it is applied and blended well, the color works great. I apply it with my fingers. It looks very natural - like my skin only better. The only negative for me is that I find that my skin starts looking shiny within a few hours of application, whereas my skin stays matte looking longer with some other tinted moisturizer / bb cream products. However, this is nothing that some powder can't fix. Overall a very solid product.
I seldom write reviews, but I felt I needed to add my 2 cents. I've tried so many tinted moisturizers and foundations, from Chanel to Armani, and I keep going back to this one. It gives a nice light to medium coverage without looking like you are wearing anything. Its dewy and the colors are very nice and natural looking. I hope they never discontinue it.
This is my all time favorite.
This is my first review but I was so happy with this purchase I just had to rave about it. I exclusively use tinted moisturizers and over the past 5 years have tried the gamut from Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer, Clinique Moisture Sheer Tint (which I did like but was discontinued), Benefit YouRebel, and even Laura Mercier but none have given me a huge reason to buy again, which obviously led me to Nars.
I have it in Alaska which I guess would be the second lightest. I was originally going to purchase the lightest (Terre Nueve), but it seemed a little pink when I tried it on. A sales person at Sephora suggested I use the Sephora + Pantone Color IQ system and luckily it matched me to this product in Alaska, which is light but with more yellow than pink undertones which is perfect for my Irish Italian skin. Funnily enough, it didn't match me to any shades in my previously used products (whoops).
The makeup feels wonderful on, light but still nice coverage, and it really lasts. I live in Phoenix and if I can wear it all day and still have some come off on my makeup wipe at the end of the day, that's some staying power. It makes your skin look absolutely gorgeous. On the box it says it "Visibly Improves Your Complexion in 4 Weeks". I never really believe claims like that, but I've only been using this for 3 days and I feel like I can see a difference. I'm very impressed.
I know there's a little sticker shock with the price, but when I think of the minimum I'd spend on something like this (~$30), an extra $12 on top of that is worth using a product I feel is significantly superior.
This is one of the best foundations I have ever used. The finish is quite natural, evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores without looking like I have any foundation on (in a good way). It's SPF 30 and moisturizing enough for my combination (oily T-zone, normal everywhere else) skin that I can just slap this on my face after applying serum and it's done.
I deducted a lippie because there wasn't a color that matches exactly to my skin. My skin color is somewhere between Finland and Alaska, so I ended up buying both. Both colors are supposed to be for someone with neutral skin tone (both yellow and red), and while I agree that to be true for Finland (peachy), I think Alaska leans a little more yellow than neutral. My skin color is peachy skin tone that is just a tad bit darker than Finland so I use Alaska to darken the foundation a bit. But the finish is sheer enough that I can probably get away with using just Alaska in the future.
Will definitely repurchase.
I really do love this tinted moisturizer, gives coverage and lets your own skin shine through for a wonderful radiant look. Good for a natural glow, BUT I can not find a shade match. Every color has a strong yellow base and I am a cool coloring with a little pink in my skin so it looks very off compared to my neck/chest, not bringing my foundation all the way to my cleavage!

I've used the LM tm and love it, but I wanted to try this too. I was hoping not to like it and make my choice easier, but that is not the case. I love the NARS tm!! I am NW 20 with dry/normal skin. It stays on all day (with primer), goes on smooth and looks like perfect skin. I bought the shade Terre Neuve and it looks perfect. It's comparable in price to the Laura Mercier tm, so not too pricey.

Families checked in to the hotel on a Friday afternoon and were treated to a pre-Shabbat buffet and each family was given a beautiful Shabbat gift basket, prepared with love by second grade parent Tara Stier.
"I tried very hard to make the welcome baskets present a very warm, personal and thoughtful feeling," said Stier. "I wanted families to start off right from the lobby feeling very included and special."
Blankets have comforted children ever since the first knitter put needle to wool at some point along the timeline of human history.
Plainview resident Beverly Artz continues that tradition, volunteering her time to an organization that distributes handcrafted blankets to children undergoing cancer treatment.
Artz recently spent time at Our Lady of Lourdes in Massapequa Park, which hosts a blanket-knitting program every Wednesday, collecting blankets for the nonprofit organization, We Care Blankets.
It has been more than a decade since Debbie Wells moved to Plainview to raise her family and pursue her passion for art. This week brought Wells her latest milestone when she was elected vice chair of the Art League of Long Island's Board of Trustees.
"I love the Art League for so many reasons," said Wells, a graduate of Parsons School of Design and established artist. "It's close. It's a great place and I want to do everything I can to make it even better."
Standing on stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. in late November, Lisa Matassa was wrapping up rehearsals for her part in a tribute to country music great George Jones.
She was to sing part of a medley on the Jones classic, "The Love in Your Eyes" with a few other artists when she received a special request from a noteworthy person. Nancy Jones, the late country singer's wife, asked the Plainview resident to wrap her voice around "Walk Through This World With Me."
A Plainview professor coached a young Farmingdale math talent all the way to a mathematical championship recently.
Farmingdale State College sophomore Javier Garcia took first place in the 2013 annual U.S. National Collegiate Mathematics Championship, part of the Mathematical Association of America's conference, Mathfest, held in Hartfod, Conn.
Bethpage Water District officials recently filed a federal lawsuit against Northrop Grumman Corp., claiming the company's facilities caused "irreparable harm" by creating a toxic plume that has contaminated the groundwater, costing the district millions of dollars and threatening more than 33,000 customers in Bethpage, Farmingdale and Levittown.
According to the lawsuit, the district is demanding a jury trial to determine whether Grumman owes compensation for the costs of monitoring contaminants, operations, maintenance, treatment upgrades, and equipment required to comply with state and federal safe drinking water law; or whether Grumman would bear the expense of securing an alternative source of clean drinking water.
Elementary school students in Plainview wrapped up a home-and-home exchange with the New York Islanders after some players made an appearance on their turf.
Three of the team's finest pro hockey stars answered questions and signed autographs for more than 150 kids between grades three and five in a Monday morning assembly at Kramer Lane Elementary School on Nov. 25. The visit came two weeks after the students' chorus serenaded an Islanders home game under music teacher Jonathan Wibben's direction.
The Concerned Citizens of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Community held their Annual Winter Safety Forum at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library recently, and as per the norm for this passionate civic organization, security and preparedness were indeed the name of the game.
Carol Meschkow, president of the Concerned Citizens, started the group 20 years ago originally as a two-week campaign; however, it soon took on a life of its own and is still going strong today, she said.
The Plainview Jewish Center celebrated its 60th anniversary on Nov. 17 with all the flair expected for such a joyous occasion. A brunch was held following a special "Walk Down Memory Lane" held at the Temple at 95 Floral Dr. West.
Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs, a presenter of a county proclamation said, "This was a very moving and special tribute to a wonderful Temple which has been the source of joy and comfort to so many in the community for so many reasons. It was a pleasure to be part of this 60th Anniversary celebration."
More than 150 people attended the event, which featured singing children singing, Shofar blowing, a video presentation and the Plainview Jewish Center leadership at its finest.
Plainview resident Dr. Steven Frierman plays mind games.
Everyday, the Hofstra University professor employs his knowledge of sports and the study of the mind to help athletes stay focused, improve their performance and avoid slumps — or scratch and claw their way out of a slump, if necessary.
"The idea of working with athletes and teach them how to use their mind is profoundly fascinating to me," said Frierman, who has lived in Plainview for 13 years. "What motivates them to achieve their goals and what stops them and how to get them to enjoy the process."

In 2006, Nalini Singh introduced the beguiling and sensual Psy-Changeling world in Slave to Sensation, which spawned a series that has had readers and critics cheering. Throughout the incredible 11-book run there has been one question that has tantalized Nalini's legion of fans. Now, in the eagerly awaited 12th book in the series, Nalini Singh finally reveals the answer to the biggest Psy-Changeling mystery - an answer so surprising we wouldn't dare spoil it. Even if we knew.
©2013 Nalini Singh (P)2013 Tantor
"Amazing read, but be warned..."
This book contains the three elements that are always the key to a good read, in my opinion;
First, dynamic characters. Though due to the nature of Kaleb and Sahara's backstories, it takes a while to get to know them well enough to be truly invested in their happily ever after. Especially Kaleb, because with his past, and his motivations shrouded in mystery, he comes across as a morally ambivalent (at best!) character for most of the book.
Second, an intricate plot. Singh introduced Sahara's abduction waaaaaay back in Visions of Heat, but the mention was so brief you would almost certainly miss it. Is it possible she has been planning this storyline for several years? She has definitely been developing the mystery around Kaleb for the last few books. And even as far as halfway through the novel I was still not quite sure what-all was going on--a nice change from so many books where everything is laid out in the first three chapters and you spend the rest of the book just waiting for the characters to figure it out.
Third, an amazingly complex, evolving world to provide backstory, conflict and infinite possibilities. Without crossing the line into providing so many details as to be overwhelming, Singh has created a futuristic world to serve as a backdrop for this series that is vibrant, fascinating and unforgettable.
AD is a fantastic narrator. She has narrated the entire series and has kept her voices and character interpretations consistent throughout. Her pacing is good, and she dramatizes dialogue without overacting, which is always appreciated!
This is a fantastic book, worthy of Singh's talent and the grand scope of this series. However, be warned; do not read this book if you are only going to be able to lend it half an ear--you really need to concentrate, because the story moves quickly and there is a lot going on in every chapter. I tried to listen while grading my students' math tests and finally had to give up and rewind because I kept missing things!
Also, this story is not a light-hearted romantic comfort read. It is quite dark in places, as both protagonists have tortured pasts which effect them on every level. This novel is also distinctly short of those cute, amusing, funny pack interactions we are so used to enjoying in many of the other Psy-Changeling books. Be warned! You'll love the story,but this is definitely not the book to start if you're in the mood for a fluffy summer romance.
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"Another great Psy Book"
I've listened to all of the Psy-Books and I've loved them all. I've been waiting for this story from the beginning and I loved hearing the story. I don't want to give away any spoliers but if your like me and have followed the previous stories then your going to be very pleased with this book. I think if you are unfamiliar with this series that you need to start from book 1 because this book is not a stand alone book. Allot of questions are answered in this book but it also leaves more room for many more great books for this series. This is a creditworthy purchase as are all the books in this series. In my opinion this is one of the best paranormal series out there.
I spin my own wool and knit. Listening to audiobooks while I craft is one of my favorite things. I'm hooked.
"Highly Anticipated"
If you're not a fan of the series, this probably isn't the book to start with. It is, however, a wonderful series, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who loves smart paranormal romance. Nalini Singh has created a complex paranormal world, each featuring a romantic couple, but with an ongoing back story and a world of such complexity that to understand it properly one needs to follow the series in order. Start with Slave to Sensation. You won't be disappointed.
I read book related blogs and book websites often, This book has been possibly the most highly anticipated book so far this year among paranormal fans. The identity of the main characters were kept secret until the release, only adding to the suspense. The lead male character is someone Psy-changling readers have been following with interest for quite a few books now, but his motives always seemed a bit opaque. Now we find out his motives and what drove him in past actions. Nalini Singh's genius really shows here, as she ties together a story line arc that has been ongoing through the eleven previous books. She pulls the threads together in a intricate weave and she does it with a fluidity that suggests she's been planning this story for a very long time.
Now, the big question is, did it live up to the hype? For me, it most certainly did. It was not an easy read. I admit to having to rewind quite a few times to listen again to a section where I didn't quite get the gist of what was happening, but that was a small price to pay. In the end, it was a glorious read, and a huge story line arc was tied up neatly.
Angela Dawe, if I'm not mistaken, has read all of the Psy-changling series, and she is amazing. The consistent narration definitely helped the series thrive, particularly since she's one of the best narrators out there, and I can't imagine anyone doing it better. She's a true professional, and it shows.
"Simply magnificent"
Nalini Singh is a master at bringing two people together in the most darkly, beautiful ways. With this book, the story is so far removed from the entire world. So isolated. You don't see, or hear, much of anyone else. It's just him and her while the whole world is falling down around them. The setting beautifully emulates their feelings toward each other. The simplicity made the perfect setting. It's so beautiful; I never felt like anything more was needed. I won't spoil anything for anyone. If you're even a teensy bit of a Psy/Changeling fan - this is a must read.
I just love this book so much. It's a masterpiece. The darkest love story I have come across and it's just perfect. Truly amazing!
I enjoy reading series and very rarely read stand alone series. I mostly read romance and sci-fi & fantasy.
"DIVINE! The best so far!!"
This is the best of the series. I had originally had planned to wait and use my credits to get this book (the book came out the 4th and my credits on the 6th), that plan lasted until the morning of the book release and I was like "I can't wait." It was the best decision of my life. I couldn't stop listening!! It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
although in this book Nalini does go from one character's point of view to another's with no time to adjust that you are seeing the world through another's eyes.Other than that small draw back this book was divine! And I have every intention on re-reading this book time and time again. In fact I'm on my second go-a-round and it gets better with every listen.
I'm not going to tell any of the potential listeners what the book is about (that frustrated me that I didn't know what the book was about, but it made the book that much more enjoyable for me), so all I can say is get the book and you will know why I can't say ANYTHING about the book in this review. It is just that good.
This is one book you won't be disappointed in reading!
"A happy surprise."
I didn't see how these two could get together. But it ended up being one of the best and deepest books of the series.
"Long awaited, much anticipated, actually delivered"
Story holds together well. Can't wait to see w happens at comes next. I'm very vested in this series.
The narrator works for this series given non emotional nature of the charaters. Bought a different book with same narrator and it was too painful.
"Another Phenomenal Psy-Changeling Addition"
Of course, I love the series and the author.
When Sahara and Kaleb discussed that fateful night, I won't mention it in detail to prevent any spoilers.
Both, and throw n some surprise, anger and outrage to the mix.
With all the mentions of Kaleb in the previous books, I knew Ms. Singh was going to write a phenomenal story for Kaleb. I was not disappointed, this story was so intense and Sahara and Kaleb are truly two sides of the same beautiful coin. Another well done job, and I cannot wait until the story continues in 2014.
"Silence to all who rate this book less than 4!"
The pace of the story
The plot
Heart of Obsidian for it was critical to the story
First time listening to PNR in Audio.
Silence to anyone rating this book lower than 4 stars for it must be one of the best books published this year! I am smitten and in awe. Loved every minute of it!
I read a lot and currently was feeling down because I just could not find one I liked a lot. I was starting to think it was me. Nope, because here comes Nalini Singh, a literally genius, who despite all of the popularity of contemporaries, gifted me with an a outstanding PNR series.
I'm not writing a full review. Just wanted to talk about the pace of this book. It was like a dance: sometimes furiously fast, than slow and seductive. Listening to this audio book was experiencing art in tune. It was beautiful.
Narrator: Angela Starling
Multiple POV and complicated characters were well handeled with voice changes. Sometimes other characters did sound like elderly sick but I think it was a challenging book to narrate. Well done.
"You really are a genius, Nalini"
If you've lasted up to this point oblivious to whom this book is about, I urge you to look away, now.
I won't give away the identity of the ghost or the identity of the main girl, but I do say who the main male is in this story.
Book after book fans have speculated as to the true motives of Kaleb Krycheck. Young, lethal, and ambitious he swept through the pages with strength and power deadly to any in opposition. His intelligence combined with his dual cardinal abilities, physical strength, and meticulous patience makes him a dangerous force. He can level the world with just a thought. The story unfolds in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way. Weaving in and out of a broken mind to mend pieces together to tell a tale of young love and the devotion only someone with the will and fortitude of a man on a mission can display. Kaleb is so much more than the minute glimpses of his character we have seen throughout the series. Underneath the cool and calculated facade lies a tortured soul searching for the only salve that has been his focal point, a woman he's spent years searching for and once he finds her, he will lay waste to the lands if they every take her from him again.
This is the 12th book in this phenomenal series and it absolutely blew my mind...and my heart right out of their designated spaces from within my body. A lot has happened throughout the series and when we get to this point we have already seen camaraderie across the species while they work together to fight off the threats from the Pure Psy group. The conflict carries over into this tale with the enemy desperate in their attempts making them even more dangerous and destructive. Additionally there is something corrupting the NetMind threatening the entire psy race that is linked to it. Kaleb is at the focal point of all this chaos being the only one strong enough to stabilize the NetMind in the capacity that is needed and powerful and connected enough to fight Pure Psy's deadly ploys.
As a fan of the series (it is one of the best PNR series out there), I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even after how many books in the series, Nalini still manages to write a unique tale of romance and love with the elements of paranormal equally interesting. My only negative comment is the revelation of the ghost. It was rather uneventful, although it could've been because I sort of knew who the ghost was by process of elimination.
Narrator: Angela Dawe
Performance 5/5
Speed: 1.25X
I love that the same narrator has read for all of the books in the series. It keeps the story consistent especially since I have listened to all of the books in this series. Dawe does a great job with character distinction and pace of the narration.

Andrei Tarkovsky made an important film called Andrei Rublev, about a doubting monk, Russia's greatest iconographer. The film feels very much like Bergman, from whom much of Tarkovsky's style emerged. Like Bergman's Seventh Seal, Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev is a slow-paced journey with monks, holy idiots, existential discourse, and symbolic animals.
Even though both the form and content of Gene Tanta's work are particular to his Romanian-immigrant experience, he insists that his poetry is accessible to everyone. His poetry, he says, exists both as aesthetic objects and political propaganda. This is absolutely true about all poetry, not just his own. Inevitably, literary criticism will come to see that literature is always both.

Even just reading poetry aloud is better than reading silently -- silent reading is a relatively new phenomenon. But memorizing engages reading, writing, speaking, hearing, and memory. Memory is one of our most complex powers and is interconnected with our other senses. Memorizing actually brings a poem to life.
Melville worries that his ambition will fail, that his picture of the whale will "remain unpainted at the last." He is always aware he's always on the verge of the whole thing breaking down, but the ambition is there. Beating underneath. It acts as the will to will it onward, the drive to make it work, a promise to try to do something great, the stakes that are high enough to make it worth while even if the whole thing fails.
Ambition, all by itself, makes the work a thing of value.

Yknow... If they hadn´t already paid for their bed and board through compulsory and exhorbitant tax rates - I´d fully support a pay as you go system...But because they already paid for it I honk the government should suffer its socialist noose ad the political leaders should have their pay stripped for the good of the people.

This is the result of GB´s diversity policy directed by the EU. All those hordes of muslims are bankrupting the country.This is the U.S. future with the hordes of unfettered and unvetted muslims being taken in by Barry, the worthless libtard State Dept. and the hordes of illegals. Combine that with demonrat-owned BarryCare and massive unwarranted and wasteful spending by demonrats and there is now a perfect storm facing the U.S.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
We live in an age that's obsessed with the bottom line, and the numbers that it takes to get there. Sometimes, however, you have to fold a bit of instinct in with the research and scientific evidence -- especially when it comes to your career. Here's why it's sometimes a good idea to go with your gut.
The holiday season is chock full of social events, which makes this a perfect time to network your way into an awesome new job. But that doesn't meant that it's necessarily easy. When the champagne is flowing and your energy levels are flagging, it's easy to miss an opportunity (or worse, put your foot in your mouth). Here's how to make the most of the holiday party season.
Given the state of the economy over the past couple of years, you'd think employers would be more understanding about gaps in a potential hire's CV. But even a prolonged recession can't change human nature, and no matter how unfair it is, hiring managers tend to pursue employed candidates more ardently than folks with long stints of unemployment.
We've all heard the stories about how people find their dreams jobs through social media, whether it's a lead via Twitter, an introduction via Facebook or a recruiter "discovering" them via Facebook. Not often, though, do you hear about people discovering their true love via Instagram -- the social network where people post pictures and then like and/or comment on others' photos.
Remember that scene in The Graduate, when a friend of Benjamin's parents advises him to go into plastics? Probably good advice, in 1967 -- but completely the wrong tip to give that particular person at that point in his life. Likewise, we've found that a lot of the worst career advice stems from this disconnect between the giver and the receiver.
LinkedIn, the social network of the job seeker and the career advancer, offers opportunities to display your experience and skills in a way that is sure to impress future employers. On the other hand, it's also a good way to show that corporate-speak has completely hijacked your vocabulary.
Computer Science Education Week is wrapping up this weekend, and if you're in a non-computer science field, but computer science, particularly learning to code, is becoming important to all of us, in every type of job.
These days, we spend a lot more time communicating with people online than we do in person, or even over the phone. Everyone is forced to become a writer if they want to get their points across, even if their job seems unrelated to the world of words. Here are some common mistakes that just about everyone makes when emailing at work.
You can -- and should -- prepare thoroughly for a job interview, but no matter how many questions you practice answering and how much research you do about the job, you still might find yourself in the middle of a bad interview. Here's how to fix it.
Ever feel like you and the boss are speaking a different language? It might not be your fault, or hers. Sometimes, people just have different communication styles. However, since your success is dependent on being able to communicate with your manager, it behooves you to figure out a way around the impasse.
Resumes are always a work in progress, but if you don't do the groundwork before you sit down to tweak yours, you could wind up with a Frankenstein's monster of a CV -- all mismatched parts.
When it comes to how we feel about work, we fall into three categories, say researchers at the University of Michigan: job, career, or calling. Furthermore, your point of view has a lot to do with how your parents felt about their jobs.
The end of the year is performance evaluation time for many workers, which means that now's the time to gather up proof of your awesomeness in the hopes of impressing the boss. But before you can make your case for more money and responsibility, you need to tally up your accomplishments. Here's how to do it.
Blame TV shows featuring underage hackers or our post-Facebook culture for equating innovation with college kids who will drop out when they make their first million. Whatever the reason, it's a fact that many companies fill their IT jobs with folks who seem barely old enough to drive. But what if you're a slightly more experienced candidate?
Your CEO walks into the Monday meeting, dressed for business -- which, in his case, is a hoodie and jeans, or athletic apparel, or some other casual outfit that you'd usually reserve for washing the car or taking out the trash. Does this mean he's less professional than the average C-level executive -- or does it mean that he's just confident, and higher status?
After a lifetime of waiting for our turn to speak, it can be hard to close our mouths and open our ears. Which is too bad, because listening, although rarely mentioned in the skills section on a resume, is one of the most important things we can do to get ahead at work.
It's tempting to think of getting a job as a numbers game: send out as many resumes as you can, the theory goes, and you'll definitely get hired. While you definitely won't get hired for jobs you don't pursue, sending out thousands of resumes and cover letters can actually be overkill.
There are thousands of articles on how to cope when you absolutely hate your job. But what about when your job isn't awful, but it isn't exactly great, either?
After a few years of building our careers, many of us learn to be fairly accommodating, in order to get along with our colleagues -- and bosses. The problem with learning to say yes, readily, is that it becomes hard to say no when you have to. And if you can't say no, you sometimes can't advance your career to the next level.
No one likes hearing less-than-positive things about themselves, but if you work at a company that does performance reviews, sooner or later, you'll have to hear about your "opportunities for growth" as well as your shining achievements. If you want to get promoted or get a raise, you'll have to learn to take what you hear and make it work for you.

When consultants recommended more than a billion dollars worth of improvements to the Omaha Public Schools, school board members knew the number wouldn't stand.
Now, they're hoping to ask voters for a bond worth $683 million.
WOWT 6 News took a closer look at what OPS says really needs to happen.
Overcrowding is just one problem. Portable classrooms at Norris Middle School show that the district has long been dealing with temporary fixes. Now, district-wide, they're looking for something more permanent.
Walking into the boiler room at Beveridge Magnet School in Omaha, is almost like going into an old museum. The boilers are the original system built with the school back in 1963. Mark Warneke, of the District's Operational Services, says they need a lot of maintenance. "You can get a lot smaller boilers to run the system at a lot less expense on utility bills. They're old. They're worn out," he says.
In addition, Beveridge uses window air conditioning units, there have been plumbing problems, and security isn't modernized either.
Classroom doors can only be locked from the outside. Warneke says that needs to change. "In case there's an intruder in the school, the teacher can lock the classroom from the inside," he says.
After trimming the fat of the original recommended plan, Beveridge is one of six schools the district says needs to be replaced.
"One of our highest priorities is of course, the safe and secure, then the technological needs, I think come next, but then there are mechanical systems that need to continue to function," says Toni Turnquist, Executive Director of District Operational Services.
The district says other schools like Joslyn Elementary, built in 1976, can stay, but still need improvement.
Joslyn was built in a time where large open rooms were used for team teaching. That idea is now out of date, and dividers stand in three sections of the school, creating classrooms, but with no doors. Warneke says this is an enormous security problem, but can be fixed. "We have outside entries into a large space that's got a lot of classrooms, and anybody can walk through," says Warneke.
OPS officials say if the funds to fix these problems don't make it on the ballot and pass, then the problems will only keep growing. "We're looking at trying to tread water. We haven't been able to do some major things for a decade and a half, and we feel it is the responsible thing to do on behalf of our students and our community, to look at these things now," Turnquist says.
On August 18th, the school board will vote on whether or not to put it on the ballot for a people's vote.
To make it on the ballot, the decision has to be made by August 29th.
