Your harsh words Your morbid silence Your dirty looks Your dark violence Will bend me Will bend me But I will not break! Your stinging sarcasm Your childish spite Your evil meanness Your brutish might Will make me flicker Will make me flicker But I will not go out! Your cold indifference Your devious lies Your stubborn pride Your sad disguise Will make me wither Will make me wither But I will not fall! You may bruise me You may abuse me You may taunt me You may haunt me You may strike me You may dislike me You may wonder why Though so hard you try... I will never I will NEVER Lay down and die!

In 1945 Yugoslavia adopted a socialist economic system modeled on institutions in the Soviet Union, but, following its break with the Communist Information Bureau (Cominform) in 1948, a system evolved that allowed increasing opportunity for individual enterprise. Most farmers were gathered into collective farms until this unpopular policy was abandoned after 1953. In Serbia the institution continued mainly in former German estates in the Vojvodina, where the regime had resettled migrants from mountainous regions of Serbia and Montenegro. The communist regime also nationalized existing industrial enterprises and embarked on an ambitious policy of rapidly creating more. Using funds derived from the profits of manufacturing plants in the long-developed industrial regions of Slovenia and Croatia, it created large numbers of new enterprises in Serbia and other former Ottoman parts of Yugoslavia. Many manufacturing sites, however, were selected with an eye to providing job opportunities for political constituencies rather than for inherent advantages in the production process. Such enterprises continue to be called "political factories."
Nevertheless, the economy of Yugoslavia grew rapidly for the ensuing three decades, although production in the southern republics significantly lagged behind that of the developed northern areas of Croatia and Slovenia. This lag largely reflected the long association of the southern regions with the Ottoman Empire, whose ineffectual bureaucracy had done little to promote investment, technology transfer, and improvements to the infrastructure within its lands. Within Serbia, only in the Habsburg-controlled Vojvodina did a commercialized economy emerge during the 19th century. Indeed, the inhabitants of Kosovo never achieved an annual per capita income greater than 15 percent of that of Slovenia during the entire period of greater Yugoslavia. Part of Kosovo's problem could be attributed to its exceptionally rapid population growth. It is estimated that income per person in Kosovo would have doubled if the province's demographic rate had slowed to that of the developed northern regions.
After the break with the Soviet bloc in 1948, worker self-management in factories and institutions was adopted. This program, which sought to address problems inherent in the highly centralized Soviet model of socialism, was codified in the Law on Associated Labour of 1976. Each Yugoslav worker belonged to a Basic Organization of Associated Labour (BOAL) that was based on the precise role played by the worker in the production process. The BOALs elected representatives to workers' councils, which in turn created management boards and determined pay levels, investment policies, and specific goals for production. The workers' councils also selected a director of the institution, who was charged with running the organization on a day-to-day basis. This system of self-management included not only factories and retail establishments but also schools, health clinics, and other public service institutions.
Although self-management permitted a degree of flexibility in managerial decision making, worker involvement in the BOALs led to substantial costs in time and efficiency. Management councils in factories tended to favour short-term increases in wages at the expense of long-term capital investments in more productive equipment. Dissatisfaction with self-management, and also with the diversion of profits to less-developed regions, played a large role in the secession of Croatia and Slovenia, both of which embarked on a program of economic privatization and complete repudiation of the socialist system. Socialist self-management remained in the reduced federation, but it faced daunting economic problems. Agriculture in Serbia has shifted notably from livestock to crop production and from commercial to subsistence provision. Industry similarly has regressed from the high-technology production of consumer durables to the making of single-use commodities. Widespread criminality and corruption also have taken their toll.
Not only did Serbia suffer from the loss of established markets and sources of raw materials in the other republics, but its labour forces exhibited markedly low discipline and productivity, which made it difficult to compete in world markets. Privatization of the economy began in 1990, but by the early 21st century only about one-third of output was derived from private production, which was largely concentrated in agriculture, retail trade, and services.
Economic sanctions imposed by the international community in the 1990s in response to the aggressive policies of Yugoslav dictator Milošević in Bosnia and Herzegovina severely stifled the rump federation's economy, contributing to shortages of food, goods, and fossil fuels, as well as to elevated rates of inflation. Indeed, in the late 1990s some 20,000 Yugoslav companies—nearly one-third of the country's total—were declared officially insolvent.
Air strikes by NATO in 1999 destroyed a significant portion of the transportation infrastructure and industrial facilities in Serbia, and an embargo on petroleum imports further exacerbated the federation's economic malaise. Although humanitarian aid has softened the blow, the economy has yet to fully recover. After Milošević—later arrested and tried for war crimes—was ousted from power in democratic elections in 2000, international aid began to flow back into the country and sanctions were lifted. In particular, the European Union (EU) offered Yugoslavia and other countries of the western Balkans an opportunity to open negotiations for a "Stabilization and Association Agreement," which would permit greater opportunities for trade with the EU.

I like this kit quite a bit but I find that the murky matte pale olive shade is unwearable. Three colors would have been sufficient. The shimmer is very nice and the colors are not as pigmented as say, the hip line, also from L'Oreal. I tend to never wear the different shades the way the package suggests but it does give instructions on how to wear them. I think this kit gives me a subtle but striking daytime look and complements my eye color well.

The coppery red brown and the olive green are gorgeous, the two highlight shades are absolute crap - no pigment and apply blotchy.
This is my HG eyeshadow quad. I see that there have been many comments about poor color saturation, but that has not been my experience. The greens are more subtle in tone, but I think that is due to the fact that they are khaki/wasabi colors vs. mint/teal. I work in an office with tons of natural light and this eyeshadow is perfect! As an everyday, work eyeshadow it gives a nice twist on neutral without looking totally unnatural with my brown eyes, red hair & medium skin tone. I am able to create an interesting, "smokey-ish" look, a bit of eye drama, without making me look like a drag queen in full daylight.

One of the worst cosmetic products I have ever purchased. I thought the colors looked beautiful in the package, and they looked like they would suit my greenish-brown eyes.
The pigmentation on these is terrible. There was no color payoff on my lids, not even after multiple layers... not with primer... not when applied wet. It's almost like my brushes weren't picking up any product when I swept it across the pan. So weird, and such a disappointment. How is it that this palette was such garbage, and yet the HiP line is so fantastic? It would be nice if you were consistent, L'Oreal.
Don't waste your money on this.

I purchased this quad on a whim with a little coaxing from the cosmetician at the drugstore. I don't wear green well but after applying this, I was more than pleasantly surprised! The pigmentation is nice but requires more buildup than more expensive shadows. These colors flatter my brown eyes. I would buy again. In fact, I was so pleased with this, I went out and purchased more L'Oreal quads because of the beautiful colors and the step by step instructions on the back.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I picked this quad up because of the pretty muted olive shades, even though I've never liked L'Oreal shadows, and my fears were confirmed.
This has little pigment and barely shows up, even wet. I got this in a 99 cents store, so let's hope L'Oreal is discontinuing their bad shadows, and improving them, as Maybelline and other ds lines have recently.
Classy black and gold slim case--but who cares when the product is bad?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First words.... I wish I would have checked out the reviews before purchasing this product. It was on sale at my local grocery store for $4.89, and then I had a $1.00 coupon. I only paid $3.89 for this quad, so to sum it up, you sometimes get what you pay for. The pigmentation in this quad is awful. L'Oreal really needs to get these OFF the shelves and go back to the drawing board. I had to use so much product to get a descent amount of color to show on my eyes, and I already primed my eye with UDPP. With all that product and work, I was left with a very neutral eye, that would be appropriate for work, or everyday, but I had to use an insane amount of product. I was disappointed to say the least. This has been my only L'oreal eyeshadow purchase, (besides HIP), and L'oreal really needs to step up their game. I would have been very mad if I would have paid regular price for this. I have much better colors in L.A. Colors eyeshadow palettes that only cost a buck. Come on L'Oreal, do better.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The only color that I like or even shows up on my skin is the dark brown. The other 3 colors won't show unless I do 5 or 6 layers. I have to say I do like the dark brown. It has the right amount of shimmer and color. After I've used it all I'll probably search for that color as a single or in a different brand.

I saw this on sale for $8 CND and I thought hmm it looks great on Aish so it must be good! I regret buying this! The color has NO pigment and you can't even see it. I applied several layers and nothing.
EDIT: I used Urban Decay Primer Potion first and then tried it, it comes out better this way! UDPP is a MUST have people!

I was extremly excited to get this product when I saw it, as I've never seen eyeshadow esspecially for green-eyed people. However, I was disappointed. The colors were gorgeous, but when I applied the first two, you could barely see them. I will be returning this as soon as I can, and I would not reccomend this.

PC Advisor reviews the best Apple iPhone smartphones you can buy in the UK right now. These phones run the Apple iOS 4 mobile operating systems.
Group test: what's the best Apple iPhone?
The best Apple iPhones you can buy right now
By PC Advisor staff | PC Advisor | 02 March 11
5. Apple iPhone 3G
- Reviewed on: 28 July 08
- RRP: From free, depending on O2 contract
- Best Price: Find The Best Apple iPhone 3G Deals
- Rating:
If you've been cautious and waited a year for the second generation of iPhone, your patience will be rewarded. The iPhone 3G improves on the original iPhone's audio quality, offers access to a faster data network, and sports built-in GPS functionality. You'll also be getting in on the ground floor of the exciting new world of third-party software written for the iPhone. And business users will appreciate the iPhone's new Exchange syncing features. If you're an existing iPhone user, the fact that your current phone will be able to take advantage of all the iPhone 2.0 software features, including Exchange syncing and third-party applications, blunts some of the excitement of this upgrade. If you live in an area with a 3G network and find yourself chafing at the comparatively slow speeds of the EDGE network all the time, it's probably worth the upgrade. But if you don't mind the internet experience on your current phone, you'd be better off installing the 2.0 software update and holding on to your existing device.
4. Apple iPhone 3GS
- Reviewed on: 25 June 09
- RRP: From free, depending on contract
- Best Price: Find The Best Apple iPhone 3GS Deals
- Rating:
The iPhone 3GS addresses most of the fundamental weaknesses of the previous models, adding raw speed, voice-activated phone and music navigation, an improved autofocus camera, and video-recording features.
With two major revisions in the past year, the iPhone platform has also progressed a long way. Beyond the wide variety of third-party apps, the base system has added copy-and-paste support; support for Microsoft Exchange calendars, contacts, and email; built-in voice recording; and search capabilities.
All of it works together to produce a more refined iPhone that first-time buyers will love and upgraders will appreciate.
If you're upgrading from the iPhone 3G, you'll appreciate the speed, although unless you qualify for a discount or have a friend or family member to give your iPhone 3G to, the upgrade price might make you consider waiting for what Apple's 2010 iPhone might have to offer.
Users of the original iPhone will be floored by the speed of the phone and of the 3G wireless network, though they may find the phone's shiny plastic back a step down from the original, elegant brushed-aluminium edition.
If you've never had an iPhone before, but are considering the purchase of a smartphone for the first time, you will not find a better internet-connected phone than the iPhone 3GS.

Apple's fourth-generation smartphone really is its best yet, notwithstanding controversy about external antennae. In our tests, reception was outstanding. Its screen is the highest resolution of just about any screened gadget, with amazing colour and definition. An HD video/5Mp stills camera is joined by front-facing camera for Facetime video chats. Longer battery life (up to three days in real-life use), faster processor, multi-tasking OS and an incredibly responsive multitouch display are adjuncts to what is still the easiest and most intuitive phone ever made. An unrivalled smartphone against any other.
2. Apple iPhone 4S
- Reviewed on: 8 December 11
- RRP: £499 inc VAT
- Best Price: Find The Best Apple iPhone 4S Deals
- Rating:
The iPhone 4 remains one of the fastest, longest-lasting and easiest to use smartphones on the market. The Apple iPhone 4S ups the ante with a faster processor – and graphics to take on dedicated consoles – improved camera optics and a talking assistant that can genuinely make your life easier. There's a lot to be said for refining an already winning formula. It may resemble last year's vintage, but the iPhone 4S pours a lot of new wine into an old bottle. Since iOS 5 is available for free, there's not a huge reason for existing iPhone users to upgrade to the 4S. Whether the iPhone is better than the S3 is a difficult case to make. Suffice to say they are the best phones in town: Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Apple iPhone 4S comparison review.

The iPhone 5 really is much more than a tall iPhone 4S with a new plug. The people may demand a revolution every upgrade season. But Apple may just have supplied what the people need, not what they say they want. And that's a powerful evolution on the theme of iPhone which is currently putting the competiton back on the starting blocks.

The end of the line for the JGT is Mile Marker 50. Once deposited here, would-be travelers to Margaritaville have to cross a Publix parking lot a 100-yard hike to the Brass Monkey. Here you can catch the northbound JGT back to Miami-Dade. Or pay two bucks to get on the Key West-bound Lower Keys shuttle.
A dark-skinned man with long curly black hair, who appears to be wearing a blue dress, is standing in front of the Brass Monkey. This is Robert Ortiz, JGT's man in Marathon. Ortiz, who has worked for the bus company for four years, explains the story of the eponymous Cuban émigré owner ("It's Julia a she not Julio!").
"Five or six people," Ortiz explains, commute from Florida City to here. "I don't know them personally, [but] you have to go where the jobs are."
After a 35-minute wait, the Lower Keys shuttle pulls onto U.S. 1. It's a smaller bus, more akin to the shuttle you'd take from MIA to the Hertz lot. The air conditioning is pumping furiously. At first there are only eight people on board. One guy looks like he'd gone on a major shopping spree at the Marathon Kmart. Another passenger, a largely toothless fellow, has paint all over his clothes.
There are only two carry-overs from the JGT one is Cathi Pedersen, a fiftysomething Key Wester who is returning from a doctor's appointment in Tavernier. Pedersen whines briefly about the long ride it took her four hours on public transportation to get to her doctor, whose office is in Tavernier. That is two hours more, she guesses, than a car ride. But she says, "I'm on so many drugs prescription drugs it would have been crazy to drive."
She also notes she is an old hippie and is happy to be saving gas.
The other passenger to make the Marathon connection is Lesch. On his second ride to the Keys in two days, the backpacker says he doesn't like the vibe in Miami. "I wasn't into it," he says. "Maybe I went to the wrong place."
The ride to the Keys is uneventful no traffic, no hailing except for Lesch's surprise. In the midst of a detailed conversation about how to travel cheaply between Bahamian islands, he abruptly gets up, picks up his bags, and exits the bus at Big Pine Key.
The whole journey, on Friday, June 2, from Florida City to Key West takes a grand total of four and a half hours. Not bad, considering the trip costs less than two gallons of gas.
Some may say the ride is irritatingly long, but according to Lesch, it's worth it. "The only thing that's cheaper than this is hitchhiking.... And hitchhiking is not as reliable."

I hope no one buys this product as it is overpriced, even saying $1.00 on bottle. I am going to report them to the Better business bureau. It shows a price in some cases of $2.50. Do they think we are stupid or something?
This is a really good product for dry skin.
For the price and amount, it is well worth the purchase. I tried another fragrance before which I liked just as much, if not better. The former Ivory purchase had a more subtle scent. Aloe is nice though. I would definitely purchase it again.


text: Yes it is and I hope you like it since I am going to use this paper for the next rounds too. My standard paper right now is Ilford MG WT FB, but this paper comes second and does not stress my wallet as much as the Ilford does. And in fact, it is a total different paper, more on the neutral side.

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Feb. 27, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 2,894 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

A day in the life of every businessperson is made up of a series of meetings and greetings. Whether you are making the initial contact with a client or a colleague, you want to get off on the right foot. Doing so will make the first encounter and subsequent ones go smoothly and easily.� Getting off on the wrong foot can make for a difficult recovery.� Save your energy for later and use these simple strategies for a successful start
This allows you to engage the person on an equal level -eye to eye.� By remaining seated, you send a message that you don't think the other person is important enough to warrant the effort it takes to stand.� If you find yourself in a position where you can't stand up (such as being trapped behind a potted plant) offer an apology and an explanation.� You might say something like, "Please excuse me for not getting up.� I can't seem to get around the foliage."
Your facial expression says more than your words.� Look as if you are pleased to meet the other person regardless of what is on your mind. Put a smile on your face for the person standing before you.
Looking at the people you meet says you are focused and interested in them.� If you are staring off somewhere else, you may appear to be looking for someone more to your liking to come along.
As soon as you approach people you don't know or are approached by them, say who you are. Don't stand around as if someone else is in charge of introductions.
5. Include a statement about who you are when necessary.
It is not always enough to say, "Hello, I'm Mary Jones." Give more information. "Hello, I'm Mary Jones.� I work for XYZ Corporation."
Extend your hand as you give your greeting.� The person who puts a hand out first comes across as confident and at ease. Make sure that this physical part of your greeting is professional.� Don't offer bone-crushing grips or wimpy limp-wristed shakes.� If you are confused about men and women shaking hands, don't be.� There once was a time when women didn't shake hands with men.� We are past that. Everyone in business shakes hands with everyone else.
In business you always introduce less important people to more important people. The way to do this is to say the name of the more important person first, followed by the words "I'd like to introduce..." and then give the other person's name. Be sure to add something about each person so they will know why they are being introduced and will have some information with which to start a conversation.
The client or the business prospect is more important than your boss.� Just hope your boss agrees.
It is all too common to be thinking about what you are going to say next and not focus on the other person. If you concentrate and repeat the name as soon as you hear it, you stand a better chance of remembering it later.
Not everyone wants to be addressed informally on the initial encounter. It is better to err on the side of formality than to offend the other person right off the bat.
Your goal within the first few minutes of meeting other people is to make them feel comfortable and to put them ease so they will want to do business with you. When you are confident of the rules for those critical initial encounters, you will have a solid start for long-term profitable relationships.

I really don't like adding a space to examples. I feel like it is pretty inevitable that people will cut and paste example snippets and if there is an extra space in there then it will lead to lots of problems. I do recall that there is an alternative syntax for detailed comment descriptions in doxygen that makes use of // style comments rather than /* style comments. I've switched over to this form and removed the -Wno-comment from the build. This appears to work for me, so hopefully it will fix your warnings also. SVN appears to be down now, but I will check it in as soon as it is back up. --Rafael | |

Noah Kalina had planned to shoot around Lower Manhattan yesterday evening. But an influx of refugee friends from Manhattan and some logistical challenges associated with commuting into Manhattan kept him in Brooklyn—where he captured these shots instead. The skyline is long and much of it is dark as New York struggles to gather itself after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

My 29 weeker will be 33 weeks tomorrow! and... she has been upgraded to the transition nursery!! On Saturday we started introducing her to my breast, and to my amazement she found it immediately :) It was such a cool experience!
She will find the nipple, latch on, suck for a couple of seconds and then shortly after that fall asleep... I am sure this is normal, any ideas on how to keep her awake? Also the nurse mentioned putting her to breast twice a day right now and not at consecutive feedings. That is fine, I am not working and can be at the hospital whenever, but of course it would be easier to do two consecutive feedings (3 hours apart instead of 6 hours apart) what is your experience with this? Do you think she would she get too tired if I tried at two feedings in a row? When do you think she will start getting milk when she is on my breast, right now it doesn't seem like she's getting anything?

TOKYO (AFP) - CSKA Moscow have acquired Japan international Keisuke Honda from VVV Venlo, as the Russian giants look to boost their squad ahead of the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, according to the latest reports.
The 23-year-old midfielder signed an estimated nine-million-euro (12.9-million-dollar), four-year contract, Jiji Press and other news media said.
In a posting on his web site, Honda said Thursday: "I would not go if there was even one percent of doubt inside me."
Known as a dead-ball specialist with a tough physical presence, Honda has scored 24 goals in 67 games for Venlo since joining the Dutch outfit in January 2008, following four seasons with J-League side Nagoya Grampus.
He has also scored three goals in 10 games for Japan since making his international debut in June 2008 during World Cup qualifying.
Dutch giants PSV and Ajax were seen as among the most likely buyers of the Japanese star, who had also previously suggested Liverpool was interested in him.

About the Book
London, winter of 1862, Adelaide McKee, a former prostitute, arrives on the doorstep of veterinarian John Crawford, a man she met once seven years earlier. Their brief meeting produced a child who, until now, had been presumed dead. McKee has learned that the girl lives—but that her life and soul are in mortal peril from a vampiric ghost. But this is no ordinary spirit; the bloodthirsty wraith is none other than John Polidori, the onetime physician to the mad, bad, and dangerous Romantic poet Lord Byron. Both McKee and Crawford have mysterious histories with creatures like Polidori, and their child is a prize the malevolent spirit covets dearly.
Polidori is also the late uncle and supernatural muse to the poet Christina Rossetti and her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. When she was just fourteen years old, Christina unwittingly brought Polidori's curse upon her family. But the curse bestowed unexpected blessings as well, inspiring Christina's poetry and Gabriel's paintings. But when Polidori resurrects Dante's dead wife—turning her into a horrifying vampire—and threatens other family members, Christina and Dante agree that they must destroy their monstrous uncle and break the spell, even if it means the end of their creative powers.
Determined to save their daughter, McKee and Crawford join forces with the Rossettis, and soon these wildly mismatched allies are plunged into a supernatural London underworld whose existence goes beyond their wildest imaginings. Ultimately, each of these disparate individuals—the sensitive poet, the tortured painter, the straitlaced animal doctor, the reformed prostitute, and even their Artful Dodger–like young daughter—must choose between the banality and constraints of human life and the unholy immortality that Polidori offers.
Sweeping from the mansions of London's high society to its grimy slums, the elegant salons of the West End to the pre-Roman catacombs beneath St. Paul's Cathedral, Hide Me Among the Graves blends the historical and the supernatural in a dazzling, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride—a modern horror story with a Victorian twist.
Critical Praise
"[A] breathtaking achievement, the complexity of which a review can only begin to capture...[A] powerful work." —Locus
"[I]nternational metaphysical intrigue involving time travel, Jewish mysticism, and Albert Einstein. . . . [I]t all somehow works in Powers' wily storytelling logic. B+." —Entertainment Weekly
"[An] intense, downhill-race of a story . . . the summer sleeper hit of 2006." —Denver Post
"[THREE DAYS TO NEVER] contains so many genuine pleasures . . . plenty of action, humor and unexpectedly touching human drama. . . . [a] welcoming entry point to [Powers's] singular fictional universe." —San Francisco Chronicle
"A writer of extraordinary imaginative powers." —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A wild and wooly romp-fun." —Library Journal
"Almost despite its wonderful weirdness, this thriller moves at a frantic clip . . . [the] very outlandishness [of Powers's metaphysics] makes the story all the more compelling." —Booklist
"Endlessly inventive . . . You might finish this overstuffed novel still unsure about the connection between Einstein and astral projection, but if you give in to Powers's imaginative leaps and relentless pacing you may find that a mere quibble." —New York Times Book Review
"For those who have never read Powers before, THREE DAYS TO NEVER might be a welcoming entry point to his singlular fictional universe." —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"Grade: A . . . Powers never fails to reward readers with fascinating and believable tales that take them just beyond the edges of reality. Combining historical fact, science-fiction and thriller pacing, THREE DAYS TO NEVER is worth the wait. . . . Savor THREE DAYS TO NEVER." —Rocky Mountain News
"Machiavellian . . . [A]n astonishingly sophisticated and engrossing narrative." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[A] stellar supernatural thriller.…Powers works an impressively original variation on the vampire theme....The meticulous attention to historical and literary detail grounds the story solidly in its period and enhances its imaginative reach." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES
"The nonstop action of this diverting steampunk thriller will attract many readers." —Library Journal on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES
"In this fast-paced nail-biter... the breakneck pace and labyrinthine plot pull us through history, mythology, mystery, and horror with [Powers'] signature creative verve. " —Booklist on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES
"It would be a serious mistake to dismiss Hide Me Among the Graves as something less than art....It's a smart, exciting and perfectly constructed novel, and it's hard as hell to put down." —NPR.org on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES
"[A] fine example of the work of a much-beloved author, and a spooky ride through Victorian London to boot....Powers's work engages with something prerational that is buried deep, deep in our brains, and that won't be bullied into submission by mere reason. " —boingboing.com on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES
"A fascinating exploration of the fine line between inspiration and insanity, this horror/historical fiction/adrenalin blend will make your flesh creep and your heart pound." —Library Journal
