No current Talk conversations about this book.
For a first novel Red-Headed Stepchild impressed me. The mythology of the creation of vampires was inspired as was the appearance of a demon cat! I sympathised with Sabina's situation and was pleased with the way her world was explained. I look forward to reading how Sabina handles meeting her sister and dealing with her mage heritage in The Mage in Black.
Actually 2.5 stars & it gained the half star in the last quarter of the book, though. It's a neat world, but the character is just too ignorant for a 53 year old. If she'd been in her late teens or early 20's, it would have flown much better. As it is, we have a 53 year old with all the attitudes & angst of a late teen. similar life experience. She's supposed to be a trained assassin, yet is completely ignorant of the basics of other supernatural races - she had to be for the story to work & that's what didn't work for me.
The heroine does have a fun, flip attitude. It's a fun quick read & I'm holding out hope that the next book [b:The Mage in Black|6929202|The Mage in Black (Sabina Kane, #2)|Jaye Wells|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EeOd9c0yL._SL75_.jpg|6622221], the second of the Sabina Kane novels, will be better. So many of the problems with this book were in the forced setup, teaching us about the world due to the ignorance of our heroine.
The characters weren't a fully formed as I would have liked, but weren't bad. Pretty standard & the plot was quite predictable. If the world hadn't been fairly unique, it would have suffered for this a lot more. All in all, it wasn't a waste of time, but the next book isn't something I'm going to rush out to buy.
Originally on my blog.
Cover Talk: Badass woman? Check. Red hair? Check. Weapon? Check. Seriously. If a book cover has just one of those things, I am sold. This book cover has it all. I may or may not have developed a girl crush on her.
First Line: "Digging graves is hell on a manicure, but I was taught good vampires clean up after every meal."
Why I Read It: As if that first line weren't enough, I have been wanting to read a new UF series and I have had my eyes on this one for a while. When I found The Book Nympho's Sabina Kane Read-a-long I signed up right away.
Characters: Sabina is tough, sarcastic, and quite funny. She is not one to let others get in her way and is always trying to overcompensate for her mixed heritage. Being half vampire and half mage is not only frowned upon, but the consequences of fraternizing with the enemy is deadly.
Giguhl, AKA, Mr. Giggles, is my favorite! Sent to test Sabina, his plan to kill her doesn't work. So he's stuck with her. And oh my word, I love this demon so much. Ordering on home shopping networks, shape shifting into a cat, then a hairless cat. Love this guy. Demon, rather.
Adam the "sexy hexy". I feel like I don't need to say anything else, but I'm not shallow and will not only talk about how attractive this guy is. He is also an incredibly powerful mage and is determined to help Sabina embrace her mage side.
Clovis is half-vampire, half-demon and is hellbent on taking over the magical/supernatural world. And I'll be damned if he is not the most charming thing ever. Ugh. Why? Why are the bad guys so charming?
Plot/World-building: I cannot tell you how much I am digging this world. Vampire, mages, fairies, demons are just a few of my favorite things. Throw in a badass heroine and my life is complete. There are so many societies, rules, conspiracies, and secret organizations in this one book alone. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series and find out more.
The best part of this book is how often I found myself laughing. When reading the synopsis, I didn't really expect that to be the case. The humor and sarcasm reminds me very much of Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series that I've also been reading. I just love when the hero is an inch from death and they can still make a sarcastic remark, all while bleeding profusely. It's wonderful.
The ending definitely has me wanting to read the next book very soon. I absolutely cannot wait to see where Sabina will go and what she and her friends will do next.
Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. Badassery, sarcasm, grit, humor, and sexy time. I really couldn't ask for more. I am so ready to read the next book in the series.
I really enjoyed this series. I think the characters where great. I can't wait to see how the story moves forward.
Sabina Kane is half vampire and half mage, in a world that looks down upon mixed blood beings. Her vampire half is readily obvious, because like her mother and her grandmother, she has red hair. It's obvious to those that see her that she is still very young, and in fact a scant 53 years old by the fact that hair isn't very dark yet. Sabina is an assassin, having been declined other roles due to her mixed heritage. Sabina was raised by her grandmother (because both of her parents are dead) to distrust and limit her contact with all other groupings of supernatural beings.
Sabina is fiercely loyal to her grandmother, even killing a dear friend when told to, because it was assumed that he betrayed vampires. She is strong, capable and desperate to prove her worth to her grandmother and so when she is sent to kill Clovis Trakiya, a being who is half demon and half vampire, who is attempting to supplant the Dominae (read: vampire leadership) she jumps at the opportunity.
The mission does not go as Sabina planned. It begins to go awry when a demon stakes her and she does not die, thanks to her mage blood. Giguhl becomes stuck in the human realm and is forced to mascaraed as a cat. Adam the mage who has been following her becomes her love interest and ends up being the one to introduce Sabina to her mage heritage, causing her to question everything that she knows as true.
Red-Headed Step Child is not a unique story in many ways. As I mentioned above, once again we have a protagonist with dead parents. I don't understand why urban fantasy writers are so determined to give their protagonists a tragic past. At times the plot is a touch predictable but it is saved from being just another run of the mill urban fantasy books by the humour. The relationship between Giguhl in cat form and Sabina is touching and hilarious. How can anyone not love a talking kitty with a ton of attitude? There were times when I laughed out loud.
There is one GLBT character in this story; Ewan is a bar owner and a gossip. Wells tries to redeem this by suggesting that Ewan trades in information, but it still amounts to one of the most common tropes aimed at gay men. At the beginning it seemed that Ewan would have a large role in the story and so I was disappointed, while not shocked, that he ended up being murdered by the Dominae. Having the sole gay character die to prove just how evil and unfeeling the Dominae die is jut another example of how disposable gay people have become in this genre. Just like many writers Wells has added a gay character for the purposes of inclusion, and then followed it up with a shitty portrayal.

Syracuse for Obama on a roll, read all about it in Lisa Daly's blog:
Lisa Daly is a self-proclaimed political junkie with the credentials to back it up. This Syracuse native has three degrees from Syracuse University including an undergraduate in Public Communications from S.I. Newhouse, a Masters in Instructional Design and Development and Evaluation from the School of Education and a Ph.D in American History from the Maxwell School.
"My political activity is grounded in a deeper knowledge," Daly said.
The 36-year-old Daly originated Syracuse For Obama (SFO), a grassroots volunteer On Thursday Aug. 28, it had 400 people turn up at the Palace Theatre in Eastwood to witness Barack Obama's acceptance speech. Small independent theaters all over the nation hosted similar parties.
Obama's acceptance speech had 38 million recorded viewers. That's more than the Academy Awards, the "American Idol" finale and the opening ceremonies for the summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
Meanwhile, Daly wasn't one of these statistics. Instead, she was in Denver as a delegate from the 25th congressional district of New York.
"It was more fun than human beings should be allowed to have," Daly said of the Democratic National Convention that had her on schedule each day from 8 a.m. to midnight.
Daly, who works full time as an Internet consultant with Logicalsolutions.net out of Syracuse, has volunteered on political campaigns before, most recently with Dan Maffei, but this is her first leadership role.
To read about her Denver experience firsthand go to syracuseforobama.blogspot.com.
The following is one post:
Roll call of states
Today we finally found out how the rollcall vote works. This morning when we got our credentials, we were also asked to vote for our candidate with an X next to the name and a signature. I found my name on the list, marked an X for Senator Obama, and signed the sheet. Senator Clinton met with all of her delegates at 3pm today, just prior to the rollcall, and released each of them to vote as they saw fit, while stating that she was supporting Barack and hoped they would too. As an Obama delegate, I was not present at the meeting, but just knew what Clinton delegates had told me about it. I am not sure if the New York Clinton delegates were directly told this ahead of our morning vote or not, but many seemed to know already and voted accordingly.

Five years ago my confidence was destroyed when I was bullied out of my job. I ended up getting very depressed and more and more into debt as I found it increasingly difficult to get work as a freelance advertising copywriter. So last year I sold my flat because my boyfriend was relocating and I wanted to go with him. Now I owe around £30,000 and am struggling to make ends meet. All I dream of is opening a vintage clothing shop but how am I ever going to do it? With all this debt and worry, I'm scared that I'll never get my career back on track and I'll drive my boyfriend away.
Sara, 38, Cardiff

I could do without the American trailer narration. It's just wrong for this documentary.
Anyone know when it might play Seattle?

Thoughts on 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Trailer
- Good open. When he's falling silently? I like that.
- "The more people I try to save, the more enemies I will make." Is that true? Maybe if an organized group was after him, but ...
- Is there any chemistry between Garfield and Stone? I don't sense it. It's like they're on a first date.
- Dane DeHaan looks AMAZING at 0:58. Who does he sound like here? Brad Pitt?
- So more on Richard Parker. I guess we'll get this stuff bit by bit, in movie after movie, like Don Draper probing his past. The movies really are episodic now.
- "I made a choice, this is my path..." Ick. And that's for the trailer?
- Electro: "Soon everyone in the city will know how it feels to live in a world without power, without mercy ..." Sounds like the GOP platform.
- Hey, has Spider-Man caught the Burglar yet? Is he gonna?
Great action scenes anyway but overall ho-hum. But it's gotta be better than the first one, right? Right?

Thoughts on the 'Captain America' Trailer
- Instead of "Was he wearing a parachute?" shouldn't the line have been something like, "Was that a parachute on his back?" Also, the guy who answers should be less smug. Also, barbershop quartet? Steve Rogers became Cap in the 1940s not the 1900s.
- Holy shit! Robert Redford!
- "I thought the punishment usually came after the crime." Interesting.
- "This isn't freedom; this is fear." Wow. Even more interesting. Oh please, let this play out. Let it be smart. Let Cap not be on the "not fear" side until he's played and then comes over to the S.H.I.E.L.D. "fear" side. The side that has to punish before the crime.
- "You've shaped the century." Uhh ... what century? Dude was on ice, literally, from 1945 to 2010.
All in all, though, this is my Captain America. I collected comic books from 1973 to 1978 and that Cap, mostly written by Steve Englehart and drawn by Sal Buscema, was not only a man lost in time but a man without a country. He was not a superpatriot. He was to the left of the superpatriots. He didn't trust superpatriotism. In one of the best storylines of the Marvel age, Englehart retconned the Captain America of the 1950s into a completely different Cap (since our Cap was on ice, remember?). Englehart made him a McCarthy-loving, Red-baiting, paranoid nut who winds up being freed after Nixon goes to China and then goes after our Captain America, the original Captain America.
The whole storyline was great commentary upon America of the 1950s. Maybe this movie will be great commentary on America of the 2000s. Doubtful but maybe.
Final thought: Three years ago, I thought Chris Evans, the hotshot Human Torch, was all wrong to play Captain America. Apologies.

Everything Jeff Wells Hates
In the past I've poked fun at Jeff Wells' anti-"Lincoln" rants and his perverse insistence on schooling Jackie Robinson on baseball but I love it when he goes on rants about the shit he hates in modern movies. Maybe because it's the same shit I hate. A recent example:
Studly, sword-brandishing, robe-wearing beardo: "I know what you are." Tantalizing Lucretia McEvil: "You have no idea." Brrrnnnggg! Any film in which a major adversarial character says "you have no idea" is instantly disqualified. Everything loathsome and detestable about 21st Century mass-moron pulp entertainment in one downmarket Asian combat film. Cartoon-level CGI. Robes. Samurai swords. Catchy macho-challenge lines (i.e., "C'mon"). Steely glares. A once-influential marquee-name actor reduced to pandering to people whose taste in movies couldn't be more primitive or less evolved.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
He's writing about "47 Ronin," starring Keanu Reeves and Rinko Kikuchi. Trailer here. Enjoy:

Trailer of the Day: Errol Morris' 'The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld'
First, Bob McNamara in "Fog of War" and now Donald Rumsfeld:
Somehow I get the feeling he's not learning any of the 11 lessons Robert McNamara learned--let alone the lessons the directors of Shin Bet learned in fighting terrorism in Israel. Rumsfeld's a little too pleased with himself, isn't he? It's a bit scary. That one may smile and smile and be a douchebag.
Somewhere, Charles Ferguson is pissed off.
"The Unknown Known" is making the festival circuit and will be released later this year.

Northern Pass path power line route in 'final stages'
Northern Pass officials say they hope to announce a new route for the controversial power-line project this month, boosted by a recent land-leasing deal that allows for high-voltage transmission lines either above or below ground.
But the project's chief foe, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, doesn't believe the project can meet that schedule for acquiring a contiguous 40-mile route needed between Groveton and the Canadian border.
"Based on what they've acquired so far, we're in the process of blocking them," said Jack Savage, the society's vice president of communications/outreach. "They're in the process of trying to find a way around it, and they have a long way to go."
Savage said the situation is "very much like a game of chess. If we lose, New Hampshire stands to get rooked."
At stake is a $1.2 billion project to bring 1,200 megawatts of hydro-electricity into the New England grid. It would transmit power on 140 miles of existing right of way, but needs to link a 40-mile corridor of North Country real estate to connect with the existing infrastructure in Groveton.
Earlier plans called for the project to become operational in 2015, but delays with finding an acceptable route have pushed that back to "late 2016 or early 2017," Martin Murray, a Northern Pass spokesman, said in an email Saturday.
Last year, many residents living on or near a proposed route complained that the towers holding the lines would hurt tourism and the area's quality of life. Northern Pass officials have worked to buy properties to create the required 40-mile route, part of an effort they said would bring cheaper electricity to New Hampshire and New England.
"The fact is we've been able to achieve great progress by working with willing sellers and operating in the free market to create this new route, which is what policymakers and public asked us to do," another Northern Pass spokesman, Michael Skelton, said in an email.
"Our primary goal in designing the new route all along has been to address potential visual impacts, which was the primary concern some expressed with the original proposal," Skelton said. "Our focus right now is on the final stages of the new route and preparing for further conversations with local communities and the state on how best to proceed. There is significant work to be done at the local, state and federal levels, and we intend to take the necessary time for discussions with all of the key stakeholders."
Last month, Northern Pass officials announced the project had finalized a lease agreement with Wagner Forest Management "as part of its efforts to optimize route options through northern New Hampshire. This agreement can support more than 20 miles of the project's corridor through the eastern portion of northern Coos County."
The initial lease deal, which runs from last month to no later than July 1, 2017, allows for Northern Pass to evaluate the property for construction and operation of power lines. Northern Pass would have the option of constructing and operating the lines through the year 2110, according to records filed at the Coos County Registry of Deeds in Lancaster.
The lease also gives the project until July 2017 to evaluate whether a wind energy project would work. Another agreement would need to be inked to allow for a "wind energy facility," according to the property records.
Murray said there were no current plans for a wind energy operation there.
"The lease provisions related to evaluating wind development are not at all connected to Northern Pass," Murray said in his email Saturday. "The lease does not represent a plan to develop a wind project. Rather, the lease allows for further study to determine if such a project would be feasible in the future. There are no immediate plans for such a study."
The "notice of lease" said the property is in Dummer, Dixville, Dix's Grant and Millsfield.
Savage said the property is generally east of the Balsams property and about seven miles from the original Northern Pass route.
The deal is between Renewable Properties Inc., a Manchester company acquiring land on Northern Pass's behalf, and Bayroot LLC. The Lyme-based Wagner company works on behalf of its client and property owner, Bayroot, a timber management organization.
Northern Pass is a joint effort by Hydro-Quebec and Northeast Utilities, the parent company of Public Service of New Hampshire.
"Our recent jobs meetings in the North Country," Skelton said, "showed that there is great interest in the economic benefits The Northern Pass has to offer New Hampshire."

The league office said in a statement Monday the crew of David Hall, Gerry Pollard and Paul Janssen wrongly awarded two foul shots to the Shockers' Cleanthony Early after calling a Flagrant 1 technical foul on Illinois State star Jackie Carmichael with 40 seconds left.
The officials reviewed video during a stoppage in play that showed Carmichael kicking Wichita State's Tekele Cotton above the shoulder on a defensive rebound.
The Shockers were trailing 67-60 when the incident occurred. Early made both technical free throws and his 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left gave them a 68-67 victory.
The conference did not say how the officials were disciplined

I made this shirt in a few hours a few weekends ago, I used my basic bodice for this, and about a meter and a half of poly chiffon from my stash.
It's kind of difficult to see the details of this shirt because of the busy fabric (it's little leaves!) so I'll give you a recap. I transferred the darts to gathers in the shoulder seam and gave the shirt a baggy look by widening the side seams by about an inch. The sleeves are basically the same width the whole way down (rather than tapering towards the wrist) which I gathered at the wrists and finished with bias binding. The sleeve caps are also gathered which took a little longer to sew with chiffon and IT'S SO FREAKING SLIPPERY but worth the effort (but maybe not.. can you ever tell they're gathered? This pattern is so confusing)
For more information on all the mistakes I made while making the shirt, how I constructed the collar and other insights I had into the world of sewing (and non sewing) you can check out my blog post

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Marquess Wilson sped past two defenders and hauled in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Marshall Lobbestael with 1:10 left to lead Washington State to a stunning 31-27 comeback win over Colorado on Saturday.
The Buffaloes (1-4, 0-1) were primed for a win in their Pac-12 debut before surrendering two touchdowns in the final 2½ minutes. Colorado had thwarted Washington State's high-powered aerial attack most of the afternoon with a patchwork secondary that included two converted offensive players.
Lobbestael threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Cougars (3-1, 1-0) to just their second road win in four years under coach Paul Wulff.
The Buffaloes led 27-17 with 5:11 left after Rodney Stewart's 1-yard TD run.

Location, food good, very helpful staff, parking on site
Rooms were slightly dated
Staff made you feel really welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Had a good nights sleep. Good quality food served.
Ambience , close to town and amenities, close to coastal path and sea/estuary walks. Very clean, comfortable beds. Nice breakfast.
Decor and some fittings old and tired looking. But everything ok.
All staff members were really welcoming & friendly! Breakfast was good & hot & tasty! A good choice as well. Bathroom was very nice.
Bedroom needed a bit of TLC - decor etc & would have preferred a quilt on the bed.
Walls were paper thin, curtains were to small for the window leaving a nice 6inch gap in the middle.
rooms were clean very quiet ,by choice i would stay there again,food was very good
The room itself was pretty nice and the shower was decent. The staff was friendly.
Room was very noisy until the bar closed and not many covers on the bed meant that I was cold in the night. Wouldn't recommend the breakfast.
Situated between a main road and a railway line, not ideal. Soiled nappies in car park No wifi in your room. 1 cup of coffee at breakfast Poor standards all round!
Friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Close to town and Coastal path.
Decoration is looking a bit tired in places.
Management & Staff excellent Evening Food Coffee & Tea facilities Cleanliness
Room suffered by being over Kitchen & next to Store room creating early & late noise plus cooking smells with toilet window open Bathroom accessories generally very good ie flannel supplied but oddly missing plastic cups for teeth & floor towel The Continental breakfast option was OK but not what I expected from Menu. Although evening meals available were very good, I found the ambience a little claustrophobic for me.
Staff friendly willing but limited by facilities. Ground floor room for disabled.
No duvets available. Ceilings, walls thin, voices travel. Five successive mornings request for poached egg with soft yolk failed !
The shower was difficult to adjust and the cubicle was small. We had to ask for milk each day on the room tea tray which was annoying.
friendly staff, comfortable room
poor wifi connection
Good food, comfortable bed
Staff Food Bedroom Comfort Value for money
Couldnt get the Jacuzzi to work and apparently the power switch is outside the bathroom at floor level. This needed a lable I feel.
The staff we very friendly, the room was spacious and clean. We loved the jacuzzi in the room once we figured out how to use it. Lol. There was a good choice for breakfast. Enjoyed our stay very much.
The pillows were a bit hard for me, but other people may like them.
Central location for my visit to the area, staff were all pleasant and welcoming, facilities good and breakfast good with excellent service. The Grill if obviously very popular and if visiting again will book in advance to eat at a reasonably early time.
Unable to book a table in the Grill on arrival before 9pm which for me was too late.
All of the team we're attentive and helpfull. Great steak in the grill on the Saturday, and great breakfast in the morning
Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely.
Beds were very soft a little creaky and so we didnt have the best nights sleep. The room was very spacious though with a really nice bathroom!
Staff really friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough for guests
We had no lights, water leaked onto bed, rooms smelt of damp. Decor was dated. Showers needed a genius to work out how to use. One of the worst hotel experiences ever
Close to the millennium coastal path and a short taxi drive away from Parc y Scarlets, which was the purpose of our visit.
Stayed there many years ago when just one building. Rooms are much bigger. Dining Room super. Breakfast Great. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Maybe new beds required?
I have stayed a few times was a bit worn and shabby now needs a coat of paint ++
Large sunny room. Bed comfortable.
No instructions for jacuzzi bath. Staff friendly, but a bit disorganised and forgetful on occasion.
The staff were very friendly and helpful with a great sense of humour. They made you feel welcome and that your business was important to them.
A couple of softer pillows would have been nice, quite a trivial recommendation.

England Under 18s put in a strong performance against France in Dunkirk to earn a narrow 18-17 victory at the Stadium du Littoral de Grade Synthe.
Tries from No. 8 Charlie Beckett and scrum half Rory Jennings helped John Fletcher and Pete Walton's side to the win, while flanker Lewis Ludlum was named BMW man of the match.
Fletcher said: "Overall we're really pleased with the performance against France. We didn't quite reach the intensity we were at last week against Wales but it's always a challenge playing France in their own back yard.
"It was another good test for us against them today – we created more chances and dominated possession and territory, and ultimately deserved to get the win.
"We have started 26 players over the last two games and both Pete Walton and I are really encouraged by the depth and quality of the Under 18s squad. The academies continue to produce excellent players which is great for the English game."

Stability of a spatial polling system with greedy myopic service

This paper studies a spatial queueing system on a circle, polled at random locations by a myopic server that can only observe customers in a bounded neighborhood. The server operates according to a greedy policy, always serving the nearest customer in its neighborhood, and leaving the system unchanged at polling instants where the neighborhood is empty. This system is modeled as a measure-valued random process, which is shown to be positive recurrent under a natural stability condition that does not depend on the server's scan radius. When the interpolling times are light-tailed, the stable system is shown to be geometrically ergodic. The steady-state behavior of the system is briefly discussed using numerical simulations and a heuristic light-traffic approximation.

When Alessandro Petacchi took the sprint in the 185 kilometre first
stage of the ENECO Ronde van Nederland between Middelburg and Rotterdam
on August 19, it was his 18th win of the 2003 season for the Fassa Bortolo
rider. Petacchi has had a breakthrough season in 2003 with multiple stage
wins in the Giro and Tour and may now be headed to the Vuelta a España.
"After riding many criteriums in Holland and Belgium after the Tour,
which was a great experience, I'll see at the Tour of Holland what my
real condition is," declared Petacchi. "I have to decide if I'm going
to do the Vuelta or not...if I'm feeling really good, I want to ride since
I really like the Vuelta."
Should Petacchi win stages in the Giro d'Italia, Tour De France and
Vuelta a España this year, he will be only the third rider in history
to manage that exceptional feat.
45 years ago, riding for the Chlorodont team in 1958, Pierino Baffi,
father of Adriano Baffi, won six stages in Grand Tours that year; Stage
12 of the Giro, Stage 10, 16 and 24 of the Tour as well as the 3rd and
14th stage of the Vuelta. Also Miguel Poblet won stages 4, 8, 14, and
16 of the 1956 Giro, Stage 8 of the Tour de France that year, and stages
3, 5, and 6 of the Vuelta. "It would be great to leave my mark on all
three Grand Tours this year," said Petacchi.
Perhaps the Fassa Bortolo man will renew his match with Mario Cipollini
at the Vuelta, as the World Champion will likely ride the Spanish race.
"If Mario is (at the Vuelta), the sprints will be even more spectacular.
That won't be my main reason for riding the Vuelta, but it will give me
extra motivation if Mario is there."

November 26, 2014
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- German automaker Volkswagen AG confirmed it has chosen Chattanooga as the site for its new U.S. plant.
The decision was first announced on Tuesday by a member of VW's supervisory board and followed by a company statement, saying VW approved more than $990 million dollars to build the plant, which will begin production in 2011.
The company said it plans to hire 2,000 workers to build a projected 150,000 cars per year.
The company holds only a 2 percent share of the U.S. market. VW officials have said the company intends to more than triple its U.S. sales to 1 million by 2018.
Board member Christian Wulff said the Chattanooga plant, in addition to VW factories in India and Russia, is part of the company's strategy to become the world's No. 2 automaker.

Fans are used to seeing ... ahem, a little more of the Eclipse star, 25, in his CK underwear ads – not that he minds.

"I started getting text messages ... people were always commenting on the billboard and asking for pictures for their daughters."

And now, here are ninety-two words about the ninety-two dollar Save Khaki French Terry Sweatshirt. It's made in the USA out of a cotton / polyester / rayon blend. It's been garment washed, giving it a soft, broken-in feel. It has ribbing on the neck, cuffs, and hem. And it's got a slim, but not constricting fit. What's that? I've only written sixty-three words? Um… Did I mention that it's ninety-two dollars? I did. Okay. How many am I at now? Eighty-one? So eleven more? How about:

Chloe and the Lion is not about a young girl facing off with a ferocious feline, no matter what the title says. Sure, Chloe's present, saving up her nickels and dimes to ride the merry-go-round. She does, in fact, spin around that ride so many times that she gets dizzy and lost in the nearby woods. It is at that very point that Chloe should meet a lion. Instead, a large, ferocious, winged, burgundy dragon steps out.
Writing a picture book is hard work. You must have a solid story, likable characters, and the right choice of words. What's more, this delicate balance can be completely thrown out of whack by a maverick illustrator who thinks that "a dragon would be cooler."

There really is no need to import foreign work anymore as most of it can be done in their own country. India is a good example, where employees abroad are able to work remotely.

Did anyone read the article before posting (102 comments)
In the article, SuperMicro has fix in update. However, the key takeaway is that thousands of people decided to not patch their SH1T. "This means at the point of this writing, there are 31,964 systems that have their passwords available on the open market. It gets a bit scarier when you review some of the password statistics. Out of those passwords, 3296 are the default combination." "Besides flashing, there is another (albeit unsupported) temporary fix. Most of the systems affected by this particular issue also have their "sh" shell accessible from the SMASH command line. If you login to the SMASH via ssh and run the command "shell sh", you can drop into a functional SH shell. From there you can actually kill all "upnp" processes and their related children, which provides a functional fix. That is of course until the system is completely disconnected from power and reconnected, during which the IPMI module will reboot. This is what I have done for our own systems that were unable to be permanently fixed at this time. After continual monitoring, I am satisfied with the results and there has not been any noticeable impact on functionality."

The dual-threat Cougars QB will have a chance to start a full season under center. Dave Miller
BYU released its final spring depth chart last week, and Taysom Hill was atop the list as the starting quarterback despite not participating in the team's spring game.
"We have named Taysom the starter because of his game experience in 2012, strong leadership qualities and his breakaway speed and athleticism," BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said in a news release.
US PRESSWIRETaysom Hill will have a chance to start for a full season at BYU.
Hill nudged out fellow sophomore Ammon Olsen for the starting gig in Provo. Snow College transfer Christian Stewart is No. 3 on the depth chart.
The 6-2, 218-pound Hill, who is a former Stanford commit, was a spark plug for the Cougars last season when inserted into the lineup as a true freshman, as his dual-threat capabilities added some much-needed dynamicism to the BYU offense. He threw for 425 yards and rushed for 336, recording eight touchdowns in parts of six games before a lateral collateral ligament injury against Utah State shelved him for the rest of the season. Against the Aggies, he had passed for 235 yards and rushed for 80 in a 6-3 win.
Mendenhall expects Hill to be 100 percent healthy in the fall, and BYU fans have to be excited about the offense with the dual-threat QB under center for a full season.
While the Cougars will lose the leadership of the departed Riley Nelson, Hill has a lot of confidence and uncanny maturity for a young player that will serve the offense well. The one question that surrounds Hill moving forward is whether the mobile QB will play a bit smarter coming off of his injury, as he took a lot of shots from defenders last year when he was on the run.
The other aspect of his game that will be scrutinized all season is his accuracy and whether he can make all of the necesaary throws from the pocket, especially when his first read is unavailable. There's no reason to think he can't continue to develop as a passer, but having the starting gig from the beginning of the season will warrant a lot more scrutiny.
But with his good deal of confidence, Hill likely will relish the spotlight.
