PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place beets on large sheet of foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with coarse salt. Wrap beets in foil. Roast beets until tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour. Unwrap and cool beets. Peel, then cut each into 8 wedges.
Bring 3 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, and pinch of coarse salt to simmer in large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add rhubarb. Simmer over medium heat until just tender but still intact, 1 to 2 minutes (do not overcook or rhubarb will be mushy). Using slotted spoon, transfer rhubarb to platter and cool completely. DO AHEAD Beets and rhubarb can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.
Finely grate enough peel from 1 orange to measure 1/2 teaspoon; transfer to small bowl and reserve for dressing. Cut off peel and white pith from all oranges. Working over medium bowl to catch juice and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release orange segments into bowl; squeeze membranes to release juice into bowl. Transfer 2 tablespoons orange juice to bowl with orange peel. Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, honey, and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil into bowl with orange peel and orange juice mixture. Season dressing with coarse salt and pepper.
Arrange watercress, beets, rhubarb, and orange segments on 6 plates. Sprinkle with feta and drizzle with dressing. Garnish with chervil leaves, if desired, and serve.

If Dustin Johnson makes golf look a little too easy sometimes, well, there's a reason for that. "I think he is the best athlete ever to play professional golf," says Keith Sbarbaro, TaylorMade's vice president of PGA Tour operations. "He has almost freakish natural talent. He's the kind of guy who can do anything. Give him a basketball, he can dunk it in bare feet. Give him a baseball, he can throw it 90 miles per hour...." Johnson's father, Scott, picks up the thread. "He can bowl 200 games all night long," he says. "Don't shoot pool for money around him, either." Johnson's brother, A.J., adds, "He can tear it up on the water. On a wakeboard he can jump the wake, easily. Last summer I saw him get 10 feet of air on a Jet Ski. There was a 60-foot yacht going about 30 mph, and it was kicking up a wake with six-foot waves. Dustin launched off that like it was the X Games."
The ball speed coming off Johnson's driver peaks at close to 190 mph. The PGA Tour average is around 165; the young Tiger Woods topped out in the low 180s (with less advanced equipment). But there are other ways to quantify the physical gifts of this lithe, long-limbed, 6'4", 205-pound 26-year-old. Johnson's trainer, Randy Myers, says, "Dustin's standing broad jump puts him in the 93rd percentile among NBA players. His time in the three-cone drill"a mini obstacle course that measures speed and agility"puts him in the 80th percentile among NFL skill-position players. I've been doing this for 23 years, and he's the best athlete I've ever seen.
"I work with a lot of elite college programs, and the kids coming up all want to be as physical as Dustin. He's now the benchmark. What he does to a golf ball, the way he moves, the way people respond to his physicalityDustin's a rock star."
There can be a downside to being such a natural, which Johnson acknowledges. Sort of. "I could probably work a little bit harder," he says with a grin, "but I do work hard."
"He's b.s.'ing you," says Butch Harmon, Johnson's swing coach for the past year. "His work ethic has improved, yes, because he didn't really do anything before. He has always relied on tremendous natural ability to carry him through. It's taken him all the way to being a top 10 player. But every other guy in the top 10 outworks him."
Last month at Doral, the gruff, old-school Harmon got in the face of his young, laid-back protégé. "We had a come-to-Jesus conversation about getting his personal life in order," says Harmon. "I was very blunt. I told him he needs to figure out who he is and how committed he is to utilizing his talent. And that when he's playing tournaments he needs to eliminate some of the, shall we say, extracurricular activities. He's a fun-loving guy, I realize that. But there's a time to play and a time to work. He needs to understand that a little better."
In 2010 Johnson emerged as the game's most tantalizing talent, winning the third and fourth tournaments of his career and finishing fourth on the money list ($4.47 million), along the way overpowering golf courses like the young Nicklaus did. More than a quarter of Johnson's drives traveled more than 320 yards, tops on Tour, and he also led the league in eagles per hole and finished second in the par-breakers stat, making birdie or better 22.97% of the time. The final-round 82 that a flustered Johnson shot to kick away the U.S. Open was redeemed by 71 sterling holes at the PGA Championship. The penalty he incurred on the final hole for grounding his club in an ill-defined bunkertragically costing Johnson a spot in the Martin Kaymer--Bubba Watson playoffwas easily chalked up to a weird course setup and bad crowd control. But a rocky start to the 2011 season has led to some revisionist history, as Johnson's narrative has increasingly become defined by carelessness.
In February he was penalized for being late to his first-round tee time in Los Angeles, a gaffe that drew even more attention when Johnson's caddie, Bobby Brown, subsequently had an on-course confrontation with bulldoggish Golf Channel reporter Jim Gray. A couple of days later the Internet was flooded with a video released by the South Carolina Highway Patrol showing Johnson struggling with a field sobriety test, dating to a DUI arrest in March 2009 in Myrtle Beach. (He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving and was fined $445.) Johnson's love life has also made headlines, as in January he had a high-profile dalliance with LPGA starlet Natalie Gulbis. This followed a breakup with his off-again, on-again college girlfriend, Amanda Caulder. They're back together, and in February they moved into a stunning $3.7 million waterfront home in Jupiter, Fla.
Even with all this turbulence Johnson tied for third in San Diego and was second at Doral, all the while struggling with a chilly putter. "It was a cold winter in Myrtle so I didn't get to practice much," he says. "My speed's been off but it's getting better." That Johnson is rounding into form with the Masters on the horizon is no accident. "Everything we've done, going back to the off-season, was with Augusta in mind," says Harmon.
In two previous trips to the Masters, Johnson has finished 38th and 30th, turning Augusta National into a par-68 by decimating the par-5s. With his second shot he has reached the 510-yard 13th hole with a nine-iron, the 530-yard 15th with an eight-iron, the 575-yard 2nd with a six-iron, the steeply uphill 570-yard 8th with a four-iron. Little wonder that Kaymer, the world No. 1, has already anointed Johnson as one of this year's favorites, and that defending champ Phil Mickelson says, "There's no reason Dustin shouldn't win more than one Masters in his career."
Clearly Johnson has the physical tools. But Augusta National is the sport's most exacting stage, demanding much more than simply titanium-denting pyrotechnics. If Johnson is to prevail at the Masters, he will have to summon new levels of discipline and determination and clear-eyed thinking. Whether he can do so is of a piece with the larger questions that now hang over his career. Says Harmon, parroting the naysayers, "Does he want it bad enough? I think so. But it's up to Dustin to prove it."
Johnson has been afloat more or less since birth. His family ran a commercial marina on Lake Mary in Columbia, S.C., and when Dustin was a baby his father used to strap a crib into the back of his bass boat and take him along on fishing expeditions. According to family lore, the motion of the boat rocked Johnson into a deep sleep.
He inherited more than just a love of the water from his athletic family. His 6'4" grandfather, Art Whisnant, was an all-conference basketball player at South Carolina in the early 1960s. Scott Johnson played football, basketball and baseball in high school, and his son proved to be just as versatile an athlete; growing up Dustin was a goal-scoring machine in soccer, a shortstop and pitcher in baseball and a rare point-center in basketball, bringing the ball up the court and patrolling the middle on defense. "No joke, Dustin could have gotten a Division I scholarship in three or four sports," says A.J., who played three seasons as a shooting guard for the College of Charleston. "He was that good at everything he did. But he liked golf the best."

Nobody's Sweetheart Lyrics - Cab Calloway
You're nobody, nobody's sweetheart now,
There's no place for you somehow,
With all of your fancy clothes, silken gowns,
You'll be out of place in the middle of your own hometown,
When you walk down the avenue,
All the folks just can't believe that it's you.
With all those painted lips and painted eyes,
Wearing a bird of paradise,
It all seems wrong somehow,
It seems so funny,
You're nobody's sweetheart now!

Your New School Library: "Parrotfish," "Down to the Bone" and "How Beautiful the Ordinary"
Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole (HarperTeen/HarperCollins)
Down to the Bone takes place in the Cuban-American community in Miami, where if you're a girl who likes girls, you're degradingly called a tortillera. Laura, the teen protagonist, is a tortillera from the first page, deeply in love — is there any other way when you're a teen?— with Marlena. Their relationship is a secret, however, until a nun at Laura's Catholic high school finds and reads aloud to the entire class a sappy love letter from Marlena. When her true identity is suddenly exposed, Laura loses the majority of her childhood friends, is expelled from Catholic school, and is kicked out of her house by her Mami. And that's just the first two chapters. Talk about a bad day.
Oh, and then Marlena? Heads back to Puerto Rico to marry a guy. Ouch. Laura is a sassy and vibrant character though, with some good friends — girls, boys, and bois included — to help her through the summer and figure her tortillera self out.
I did have a few issues with this story, mainly in the writing and in the development of some of the characters, particularly the two mothers — Laura's Mami, and Viva, the mother of her best friend who she ends up moving in with. While Mami seems like the devil incarnate, Viva is almost too perfectly accepting and enthusiastic at all times. When parents can play such an important role in these novels, it's important to paint them as the complex and human people they are. Dole also tries to sneak in some other extraneous issues, such as environmentalism, that fall flat.
Beyond that, though, there are so many refreshing and important things about this book. While the majority of the conflict revolves around "coming out," Laura never denies her true feelings for women to herself. While many stories for youth build up to the "what am I feeling and is it okay to feel what I feel?!" figuring-out-who-you-are storyline, it's nice to have a character who knows they like making out with girls from the first chapter on. For Laura, it just takes awhile to truly claim that out loud.
In addition, while the story is specific for the Cuban-American culture, this is such an empowering read for any girl in a hetero-male-religious-tradition dominated culture. Mami's actions to Laura are horrific, but they're not unrealistic. Yet the overall tone of the novel remains joyful and triumphant, exclaiming to readers that you can be young, gay, and Cuban, and that your life, thank heavens, can still be fun.
Parrotfish byEllen Wittlinger (Simon & Schuster)
I consider Ellen Wittlinger to be one of the rockstars of queer teen lit, and Parrotfish is a perfect example of why. Our protagonist here starts as Angela Katz-McNair, daughter of two typically dorky-but-concerned parents, sister of irritable older-sibling Laura, best friend of Eve. But Angela has never really been Angela. Parrotfish tells the story of her real identity, which is actually becoming Grady. As he says at the end of the first chapter:
I wondered, even then, why I couldn't be a boy if I wanted to. I wasn't unhappy exactly; I was just puzzled. Why did everybody think I was a girl? And after that: Why was it such a big freaking deal what I looked like or acted like? I looked like myself. I acted like myself. But everybody wanted me to fit into a category, so I let them call me a tomboy, though I knew that only girls were tomboys, and I was not a girl. By high school I said I was a lesbian, because it seemed closer to the truth than giving everyone hope that someday I'd turn into a regular hairdo-and-high-heels female. I was just getting us all ready for the truth. I was crawling toward the truth on my hands and knees.
There are so many things I love about this novel. I love how clear-headed and honest Grady is, a truly likeable and relatable character who experiences an understandable range of disappointment and sadness without dropping into overburdened self-pity. While there are tough times in here, there's also a lot of wonderful humor. I love the secondary characters, including his family and former best friend Eve, who seem cruel at times but are also vulnerable and real in their own quest for understanding. I especially love Sebastian, the nerdy boy who becomes Grady's best friend. I believe it's easy to understand my Sebastian love upon reading his reaction when Grady tells him his new name and identity:
Sebastian was staring at me by then, his mouth open wide, his eyes sparkling with amazement, as though I'd just announced my virgin birth. 'Wow!' he finally managed to say. 'You're just like the stoplight parrotfish!'"
Parrotfish, you see, as Sebastian explains, have the ability to change gender when they need to.
Mainly I love Wittlinger's writing, and her ability to explain so many truths about being transgender without it feeling didactic, a major trap in queer lit for youth. Everything about Grady and his community seems natural, and by the end of the novel, as with all good novels, I felt grateful to have known them.
Please feel free to send me any book suggestions, queer youth resources, questions or thoughts! I am all nerdy ears. You can contact me at Jill.Guccini at gmail.com or follow me @daffodilly on Twitter.

Research Interests
Michael Cowley is a member of the Metabolic Neuroscience research group. Research within the Cowley lab began by studying the cellular and neural circuitry responses to signals of energy status: how the brain determines how much energy (fat) is stored in the body. We set out to map the pathways that are engaged by signals of energy state, and how these pathways relay information to the rest of the brain. Using this map of the melanocortin circuits in the hypothalamus (the region of the brain responsible for basic functions including thirst, hunger, the desire to reproduce and other essential processes) we were able to discover new signals within the body that regulate energy balance and describe how other known energy signals exert their effects on the brain.
Research in the lab now focuses on how these signals from the body lose ability to control our weight once the person is obese. We seek to determine how and why the brain becomes resistant to signals that are meant to convey that the body has sufficient stores of energy, and should start to burn more, and eat less.
A possible explanation for the recent increase in obesity relates to the very rewarding aspects of highly palatable foods, in other words why are sweet or fatty foods more "tasty" than other foods? Furthermore, why do we continue to engage in eating behavior that is obviously bad for us?
We wish to determine how the reward based pathways and homeostatic pathways interact, and how reward overrules homeostatic signals of satiety (the feeling that one can always squeeze in one more piece of chocolate cake…). We seek to better understand the structure of the neural pathways by which the reward and homeostatic circuits interact.
Current Projects
Selective leptin resistance and causes of metabolic syndrome
The major aim of this study is to determine if high leptin levels in the blood of obese mammals contributes to pathologically high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and diabetes by activating the sympathetic nervous system. Understanding the common cause of these conditions will potentially lead to improvement in patient care, and pave the way for new treatments for illnesses in obese humans.
Brain control of blood glucose levels
The major aim of this study is to determine the mechanisms of action of melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) effects on glucose homeostasis and how glucose sensing in POMC neurons (a specific group of neurons in the brain that detect blood sugar levels) of obese mice and monkeys could be restored. This project aims to contribute to the elucidation of an important mechanism in the basic control of glucose homeostasis, and highlighting a new drug development target.

Recap | Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2 | Photo Gallery
- QB Garrett Grayson threw for a career-high 397 yards. It was the third time this season Grayson has thrown for over 300 yards, which ties for the fourth most 300-yard passing games in a single season. The 397 passing yards are also the 10th most in program history.
- Grayson completed 36-of-53 passes. The last CSU quarterback to attempt 50 passes was Grant Stucker (51 attempts) at BYU on Sept. 26, 2009. The 53 attempts are the second most in Colorado State history, only behind Terry Nugent's 58 vs. UNLV on Nov. 6, 1982. The 36 pass completions set a school record.
- Grayson also rushed for 48 yards, giving him 445 yards of total offense which set a school record, held previously by Bradlee Van Pelt (416) vs. Colorado on Aug. 30, 2003. The last Ram to record 400 yards of total offense was Pete Thomas (407) vs. SJSU on Oct. 12, 2013.
- RS-SO RB Kapri Bibbs rushed for another three touchdowns Saturday vs. Boise State, marking the fourth game Bibbs has recorded three rushing touchdowns, tying a school record set by Calvin Branch in 1996.
- Bibbs now has 15 rushing touchdowns on the year, the fourth-most single-season rushing touchdowns in a single season. This is the most rushing touchdowns scored in a season since Cecil Sapp's 17 touchdowns in 2002.
- Jared Roberts' 47-yard field-goal attempt just before halftime hit the cross bar and bounced off, his first career miss on an attempt between 40-49 yards. He was 8-8 on such kicks in his first two seasons.
- The Rams' offense ran a school-record 109 total plays (55 in the first half, 54 in the second). The last time CSU ran over 100 plays was on Oct. 6, 1990 vs. Utah (101 plays). The 109 offensive plays were the most in school history and second-most in Mountain West history. TCU currently holds the record, taking 111 offensive snaps at San Diego State on Nov. 24, 2007. The FBS record for most offensive plays in a game was set on Jan. 1, 2010 by Northwestern (115) vs. Auburn.
- The Rams accumulated 626 yards of total offense, tying for the third-most in program history last done vs. Tulsa in 1997. The last time a CSU offense racked up 600-plus yards of total offense was in the New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 20, 2008 vs. Fresno State (619).
- The Rams controlled time of possession, 40:00 to 20:00. The last time the Rams had the ball for 40:00 minutes was on Sept. 10, 2011 when CSU controlled the ball for 41:07.
- FR WR Rashard Higgins pulled down a career-best 10 receptions, tied for the 10th most in program history. The last CSU wide receiver to catch 10 passes in a single game was Tyson Liggett at BYU on Sept. 26, 2009.

Michigan's emergency manager referendum will go on November ballot
Updated On: Aug 03 2012 07:01:23 PM EDT
The Michigan Supreme Court says a referendum on the state's emergency manager law will appear on the November ballot.
Republican Justice Mary Beth Kelly was the crucial vote, joining three Democratic justices.
READ:Michigan Supreme Court ruling on EM law on ballot
The decision Friday means voters will decide whether to keep or kill a law that sends powerful emergency managers into distressed communities and school districts to fix their finances.
The Stand Up for Democracy coalition submitted over 200,000 valid signatures to put the issue on the ballot. Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility claimed the font size on the petitions was too small.
Rod Meloni's blog: Michigan's epic public union battle
State canvassers deadlocked and Michigan's Appeals Court allowed the signatures, prompting the appeal to the state's high court.
It heard arguments in July about the issue.
Al Garrett, of the American Federation of State and Municipal Employees, was behind the campaign.
"I'm ecstatic. I think it says the people get to speak their mind with regard to this most egregious law that ever passed, as far as I'm concerned," Garrett said.
As it stands 95 days before the election, Gov. Rick Snyder is in the lead on this issue. Public Policy Polling, of North Carolina, did a poll of Michigan voters two weeks ago. The results from that poll show the Yes side with 41 percent and the No side with 31 percent. It also shows a large undecided group left to capture.
"And so I think once they get the true contrast between the theory that the governor has and the reality in terms of the product, I think the citizens will line up with this," said Garrett.

[Shi-Fa & Shinsen] Otogi-jushi Akazukin - Trailer [4.5%]
I hate to have my first post to AnimeSuki be in this forum, but that's just the way it is.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone still had this 2+ year-old file sitting around & could seed it for me & the other 2-3 leechers that are stuck at 4.5%.
Link to info page: http://www.animesuki.com/details.php/11737.html
Link to torrent file: http://a.scarywater.net/shi-fa/%5BSh...5D.avi.torrent
I just got the OVA downloaded & am seeding it now, but I'd like to have the trailer as well to complete the set.
Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can seed this for me!
EDIT: I found this on an fserve in shinsen's IRC channel, so the seed request can be disregarded! As soon as I get it downloaded I'll seed the other poeple on the torrent to completion.
Aw well....

PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) - A Palm Bay man was burned over 60 percent of his body when his fume-filled garage exploded.
Florida Today (http://on.flatoday.com/12AGhvy ) reports the man was airlifted to a burn center in Orlando late Sunday.
Authorities say the man was siphoning fuel out of a vehicle with a 'shop-vac' in a closed garage when the explosion occurred. Investigators believe a spark from the vacuum ignited.
A witness told Palm Bay police the neighbor was on fire when he ran from the garage.
Neighbors reported the explosion sounded like a train crash.
Three other people were inside the home when the explosion took place. They were not injured.
Police did not have an update on the man's condition. His name was not released.

Once Crazaniak convinces Shannon she needs his protection, they partner to unearth secrets her husband left behind-secrets involving a Tanzanian mine that yields perfect blue diamonds coveted by dealers around the world-secrets connected to a terrorist leader Crazanaik has vowed to take down.
With danger surrounding them, two emotionally wounded souls bond, but can they put their demons to rest and trust in love? Can they survive long enough to find out?
Posted March 25, 2014
Shannon has had her world tor apart before. Now she finds herself in a new danger. A man thinks her deceased husband took money and a diamond from him and wants her to turn them over. Her only protection is FBI agent Tony Crazaniak. She doesn't trust him all the way and she doesn't think her husband has done anything wrong. While the danger keeps piling up around her she has to face the fact her husband had secrets he kept from her and that she may have to trust Tony. Tony knows Shannon is hiding things from him but he needs to keep her safe and track down the men behind the whole operation one who is a known terrorist. While they are together they both begin to fall for each other and have to hop they can truly trust each other.
This book is packed full of danger and suspense. It seems like Shannon can't catch a break even though she has had the most horrible thing happen to her. Something she blames her self for and something no one should ever go through. I felt so sorry for her but I hated how she didn't trust the ones she should and did trust others. She has a lot to learn about her husband and she hates how it makes her feel. Tony is a great guy who puts up with a lot from Shannon. He is very protective and caring person. He has to put his wants to the side to do his job. I really like this book and how far both main characters grow and see the important things in life. They see each other for who each one is. Besides the danger there is also the romance. It may happen quickly between them but they have no one to hurt and they make a great pair. If you enjoy a book with suspense with great characters give this one a try.

Mal Olsen's Shadow of Deceit is a romantic suspense brimming with sexual tension between two people dealing with personal tragedies that have left them scarred and afraid to take a chance on love. When Shannon Riedel is threatened and asked to return goods owed from her deceased husband's unfinished gem mine deal, FBI agent Tony Crazaniak becomes her shadow, sticking to her, as she compares it, like toilet paper stuck to the bottom of one's shoe. Shannon unwittingly finds herself caught up in a dangerous world of greed, blood diamonds, and terrorists.
The plot of the story is okay; it's fairly easy to predict upcoming events as Shannon gradually begins to consider the possibility that her husband, Tyler, may have been involved in a lucrative but shady deal. It's completely understandable that Shannon desperately wants to believe her husband is innocent and that her boss, Rafiel de Rios (an Anthony Bandaros lookalike) could be guilty of the acts Tony suggests. However, I found Shannon to be a frustrating protagonist fighting Tony almost every step of the way in his investigation, even though she's intrigued by the man and wants to get to know what's behind the FBI persona Tony projects. She's threatened, attacked, and followed on numerous occasions, yet she still won't fully cooperate with Tony, who does everything he can to keep her safe. Even after she grows closer both emotionally and physically, she still withholds evidence essential to the case. Shannon trusts without question those closest to her, but this trait also becomes her greatest weakness making her gullible and vulnerable to the danger surrounding her.
Tony has a personal score to settle with the terrorist, Abdul Ahad, and he is passionate in trying to find the evidence he needs to link Ahad with the diamond mine deal under investigation, and it quickly becomes clear to him that Shannon is key to resolving the case. However, I was surprised at how long he was willing to wait to question Shannon. He wasn't as aggressive with her as I would have expected, and I think his lack of action was geared toward gaining Shannon's trust. In the meantime, both Shannon and Tony continuously reflect on their attraction toward each other and their reluctance to take the relationship further. After all, Shannon's involvement is still questionable, and Tony knows he should maintain a professional distance. Furthermore, even though two years have passed since Shannon lost her family, she still feels getting involved with Tony would be a betrayal to Tyler.
The book has lots of action in the beginning and at the end. The middle of the book moves more slowly and focuses on the internal emotional conflicts Tony and Shannon face and their feelings and growing desire for one another. I found the romantic aspect to have greater emphasis rather than the FBI investigation in the overall plot. Love scenes are explicit and geared toward mature readers. If you're a romance reader, you should check out Mal Olsen's work.
Source: I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.

Shadow of Deceit is one kick-ass romantic suspense that literally has you turning the pages to find out what FBI Special Agent Tony Crazaniak, bent on revenge, is going to uncover next, and what the widowed Shannon Reidel, full of guilt over her husband and child's death, is going to find herself embroiled in every time she turns around. The two are dynamite together as they search for a diamond called the Shadow of Kilimanjaro. The dialogue alone is riveting, the sex is hot, and the emotions are so well written you can't help but become entrenched in their lives the more they uncover their inner secrets that truly motivates them every step of the way. Action-packed from start to finish. Whew! A fantastic read. ~ Carol Henry, author of Amazon Connection and Shanghai Connection—Romantic Suspense Adventure.Was this review helpful?

(3.5 stars) Olson's writing is fast pace, full of action and blossoming romance - just they way I like my romantic suspense! I love the chase and the suspense, and Shadow of Deceit had a good a very good plot, the reader is guessing Shannon's deceased husband's character just as much as Tony, and that I really liked. All the action makes sure that you keep on reading, there were few lulls but they weren't boring or slow because it was then that the romance was growing - number one reason I love romantic suspense instead of just suspense. ;)
Both characters are very well written, they are live like with real emotions and actions. I especially liked Tony's character, a sexy FBI agent who gets distracted by Shannon during his investigation to find a terrorist leader. And I did really like Shannon too but with her background story I found her way too sad - having your husband and baby die on you at such a young age... I just didn't like that part - I suppose I love my romance a little bit more happy ( is that stupid, it might be, but that's my preference, can't help it ), sure it can have drama but there is enough sadness in the world so I escape to novels to avoid it.
Shadow of Deceit was really good, and I did enjoy it - if it had been less sad on Shannon's part this could have easily gotten 4 stars from me. Romantic Suspense fans this is for you!

Loved it!
Ever since her accident, Shannon Riedel has been rebuilding her life in hopes of coming to terms with her ordeal. The loss of her husband and six-month-old son is something she feels every day. In order to hold on to their memory, she talks to them each and every day. Yet it does nothing to replace the desolation she feels inside. Deep inside, she blames herself for their dying, even though part of her knows it's not true.
When an armed man bursts into her office on the day of the two year anniversary marking the events that took her family away, Shannon finds herself wondering whether she knew her husband at all. The man claims Tyler owed him money as well as a disk and a diamond he says are his. Unable to accept that her husband may have been involved in sordid dealings, she tells him quite clearly that she doesn't know what he's talking about. This, unfortunately, angers him and fuels his urge for retribution. Unable to give him what she doesn't have, she does the only thing she can, she runs.
Tony Crazaniak never imagined he'd feel anything for anyone ever again ever since the fiasco in the Middle-East years ago. The voluptuous beauty has caught him by surprise and he can do nothing to stop the urges that are slowly rising inside him. Thwarting the gunman's plans, he vows to protect Shannon at all costs in hopes of discovering just what her husband was into just before he died. Part of him says she's innocent, that she may not know what Tyler's dealings were, but to be on the safe side, he knows he has to consider every side of the story.
As attempts on their lives are made repeatedly, Shannon realizes she may be way in over head. Tyler's secrets are slowly coming into the light, secrets she had no idea existed. When it becomes apparent that Tyler did indeed know about the diamond and the mine, she realizes she barely knew her husband at all. Yet part of her wavers. She wants so much to believe that Tyler was a good man, that he never meant their family harm.
As the tension escalates, she finds herself drawn to Tony in more ways than one, a fact that disturbs her greatly because she doesn't want to tarnish the love she had for Tyler. Despite this, she knows she can't keep fighting what she feels for long. Giving in to her heart's desires, she places her trust into Tony's hands. He's the only one who can protect her as they strive to make sense of what's going on. Their goal is to work together in hopes of setting all wrongs to right if they can only live long enough to achieve it.
This was such an intriguing story. I enjoyed every minute of it. So much so, I couldn't put it down. The heat between Tony and Shannon was palpable. I think Mal did a wonderful job in creating the world she built for her characters. The situations they find themselves in are things we can certainly relate to in real life. I think I've just become a fan of Mal's work. Can't wait to read more!

Bradley Smith grasped the opportunity to learn from nine-times world champion Valentino Rossi during the second day of MotoGP testing at the Jerez track in Spain.
The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rookie followed the Italian legend for two laps this afternoon as the MotoGP field got the chance to test on a dry track following yesterday's torrential rain.
Smith ended up 12th on the timesheets today with a best time of 1.41.398 that put him 1.873s adrift of Rossi, who ended Spanish domination of the pre-season campaign to set the quickest time.
Smith was only just over 0.7s away from the top six and he said tailing Rossi's factory YZR-M1 was a short but invaluable experience.
"I got to follow Valentino for two laps and that opened my eyes to my weaknesses, "said the former 125GP winner.
He added: "In certain points I am pretty decent but I am still trying to rush into the corner too much and trying a little bit too hard. He taught me a lot about technique and how to ride a MotoGP bike. It was only two laps but it was positive.
"I've got a terrible habit of trying to chase into corners at the moment. Not braking too late but trying to chase the speed going in and not using the engine characteristic to get out of the corner.
"A MotoGP bike is all about driving and preparing for the next corner and moving onto the next one and obviously if you run wide at Turn 2, which I seem to love to do at the moment, then you are wide for Turn 3 and slow for Turn 4.
"It goes all the way onto the back straight and this track is a jigsaw puzzle and it flows all together."

has done better than I expected, as no doubt most of you will know my thoughts on him getting the ride to start with, but if he can stay in the top ten, he may improve as the season goes on, with the likes of Iannone & Marquez likely to bin it, especially in the first half of the season, either way, good luck to him.

text: Chinese Hackers Steal Information of 53 NYT Employees Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 2 Feb 2013 post a comment Reports indicate that New York Times computers were breached by Chinese hackers following the NYT's Oct. 25th investigation into the accumulation of wealth by a family member of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. The attacks are allegedly retaliation for the NYT's story, which "embarrassed the Communist Party leadership" just as the party was making a concerted effort to bridge the gap between the Chinese people and their leaders. Since that initial breach, hackers have gotten into the NYT's computers again and again--"stealing reporters' passwords and hunting for files on [the] investigation" into Wen's family. To date, the hackers have been able to get into the personal files of 53 NYT employees. The Chinese government has denied that such hacking is taking place, stating that their country has laws against it.
