Clem's 32nd Birthday @ Lust KL
Clem turned 32 last week and we initially planned to celebrate it at Awanmulan like how i did last year, but his company scheduled a work trip to France on the same dates so we had to cancel. Then last minute, the client canceled the work trip -_- So he had no plans and was feeling all depressed about how he wouldn't have a birthday cos we had no time to plan it.
Seeing i've never thrown him a surprise party before, i discussed it with Tai Yong of Lust and we put together a party for one week before Clem's birthday (so it wouldn't be so obvious, see). I purposely wanted to have it at Lust cos they play old-school R&B and hip hop every Friday night and it's the kind of music Clem loves, and most of us miss and love dancing to it too.
Tai Yong remembered how Clem walked into Lust one day saying, "Just call me Clem Flizzow" and took it upon himself to make the sign without telling me. So. Many. Points.
Oh yeah before Lust, we had a dinner at MediTeca with the group of frenchies and the LohLohs.
I wanted to laugh when Melati wrote on a chat that French people take so long to leave a place. Cos it's SO TRUE. I was panicking like shit and didn't want people at Lust to wait, but these bloody drunk French guys (who were IN on the surprise for Clem btw and KNEW we had to be at Lust at a certain time) kept on ordering more drinks and getting more drunk and taking SO LONG to leave even the CAR PARK. But i could also blame Kenny for ordering a bottle of tequila before we even had starters -_- You guys kinda suck. (If you notice, someone lost their shoe in the picture). Seriously, it was only around 11pm!
FINALLY arrived at Lust and Clem was well and truly surprised. Tai Yong wasn't around but Andrew was there to take care of us. Thank you so much guys!!! I didn't expect so many things thrown in from doing our party there – like the personalized shirt you made for Clem, the kick ass sign, tons of balloons, the champagne, etc! You certainly raise the bar.

JavaScript Boilerplate is the collection of best practices.
JavaScript Boilerplate v1.2
JavaScript Boilerplate is the collection of best practices using a design pattern (Global Abatement) with the use of defined namespaces that would help you to protect our code. It is developed in a modular way with some commonly used utility methods provided that you would find useful for common operations. It is equipped with the configuration file in the form of an object literal that can be used to store global objects, config ids, URLs or textual strings. This framework has been designed to work as a ready to use template that you can build further in your projects as needed as it outlines the framework neatly and exhibits an approach to extend it.
What's new in v1.2?
- Have added the Jasmine Test Suite to unit test the boilerplate code with or without PhantomJS, one can fire up the same through Chrome as well
- Grunt build has been enhanced tremendously
- JavaScript syntax highlighting has been added
has renamed toJSB
for better JavaScript semantics- Travis CI has been kicked off
- Made several small changes like
use strict
, dir changes, css fixes, additional grunt plug-ins also have been added etc.
Files in Repository
- An html help file illustrating helper functions. -
- Config is having general details that will be commonly used across the application. Parameters like URLs, services, theme to be used within the application. -
- Helper utility functions that are required across different modules or even within a single module. -
- It defines the main module. We have used IIFE (Intermediately invoking function expression) namespacing and global abatement in this logic. JSB is main namespace that has been defined and JSB.helper is one of the components. -
- Style sheets for the html help file.
Clone the repository using the quick start guide. To get started include the JS files in your js directory.
The starting point is the
file which has defined the main module and the component to be used. If you were to observe the code,(function (JSB, $, undefined) { ...... (2) })(window.JSB = window.JSB || {}, jQuery);
The above code defines the
namespace and also passes true values ofjquery
to the inner component. Instead ofJSB
you can define your project name or application name as well and that would become your global namespace under which all the other components should be declared/defined. For e.g. if it is a project nameMYPROJECT
instead ofJSB
you can even writeMYPROJECT
as well.Once you have defined the wrapper (global namespace), you can start of modules inside the global namespace.
The second step would be to define the components, which can be page level or widget level too.
JSB.subModule = (function () {
function _subModule() {
... (3)
return new _subModule()
The above code has defined a component called helper as a sub module of JSB
namespace. JSB.helper
holds an object that gets returned through new _subModule()
. We can define all the functions that we want for the helper module inside the function _subModule()
- The third step would be to define the private values, private functions , privileged functions etc. within the
function. Comments have been provided as to which one is a private function and which is a privileged one. At the end of the function theinit()
function is exposed which in turn returns the object itself. When the object is returned all the privileged functions are exposed along with it and are accessible outside.
Next is the
file, which has all the global parameters that needs to be leveraged across the application. Think of this file/module as a container file to define your global variables, URLS etc. It is globally available inside theJSB
namespace and we can access the parameters by specifyingJSB.config.param
to get its value in any other component. Here it has been primarily defined as an object literal as everything needs to be exposed globally. -
For creating utility methods to be used across application, you can leverage the
file. It works on the same principle as thesrc/js/_main.js
. For E.g. the way to access a helper function outside the module would beJSB.helper.getCookie
for thegetCookie
Quick start
Clone the git repo - git clone git://github.com/mdarif/JavaScript-Boilerplate.git
- or download it
You can also get the JavaScript Boilerplate through npm if you have already installed node.
npm install javascript-boilerplate
Grunt Build
Install Grunt.
###Follow the below instructions to install and setup the Grunt
Install Grunt CLI, this will put the grunt command in your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
Now install Grunt
$ npm install grunt
You should also install all the dependencies
$ npm install
###Follow the below instructions to install and setup the compass task
Run this task with the grunt compass
Compass is an open-source authoring framework for the Sass css preprocessor. It helps you build stylesheets faster with a huge library of Sass mixins and functions, advanced tools for spriting, and workflow improvements including file based Sass configuration and a simple pattern for building and using Compass extensions.
This task requires you to have Ruby, Sass, and Compass >=0.12.2 installed. If you're on OS X or Linux you probably already have Ruby installed; test with ruby -v
in your terminal. When you've confirmed you have Ruby installed, run gem update --system && gem install compass
to install Compass and Sass.
Fire up the grunt server command and see the preview in browser with live-reload enabled for app
folder content
$ grunt server
Build the Project
$ grunt
You should be able to see the below message for a successful build and a folder name dist
has been created with all the expected output, parallel to src
folder, with all the tasks completed.
Done, without errors.
$ grunt test
We use jasmine as a unit testing framework to test our boilerplate code, as of now it's been only done for _.main.js
, you would get all the test done in the next release.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute.

Snow & Ice Melting
Snow and Ice Melting systems enhance the safety of your outdoor areas. Heated Driveways and walkways provide a snow free path without shoveling or nasty salts or chemicals.
Permanent systems which are installed within new walkways or driveways provide years of invisible and durable snow melting results, whether it is a new concrete or asphalt heated driveway or a heated walkway of pavers or tile and even heated stairs for safe passage to your front door. These permanent snow melting systems are attached to rebar in new concrete pours, in sand under pavers or in new asphalt layers even on top of existing slabs and then covered by mortar and materials like flagstone, bluestone, etc.
You can even use these snow melting systems to provide comfort on patios to take the chill off cool evenings with up to 170 BTU's per Sq Ft heat output.
Portable snow melting mats are another solution for foot traffic areas (not driveways) that are already in place. We offer several size solutions in both a lighter duty Residential series for heated sidewalks and steps plus a heavy duty commercial-industrial series of mats that are used by many homeowners as well as hotels, ski resorts, and all types of businesses.
ProMelt PM-5 SnowSensor 120/208/240v 2x30A
$506.00The PM-5 sensor-controller uses a heated moisture sensor mounted on its top to detect both precipitation and tempterature to activate the ProMelt Mats or Cables when conditions are right for snowfall. It is meant to be pole-mounted where it is open to the sky and elements. Learn More -
13 Watt Roof & Gutter Plug-in Cable - 5ft
List Price: $75.00
Our Price: $45.00
Marker Plate Snow Melt WYF
$59.00The ProMelt Snow Melting aluminum plaque mounts within the snow melting zone to permanently indicate where a snow melting system has been installed for enhanced safety. Building and Electrical codes typically require 1 visible marker per 400 Square Feet or separate area. Installing these permanent marker plates where they will be clearly visible is a good safety practice and help remind workers and future owners that electrical snow melting wires are installed within the surface. Learn More -
ProMelt CP-200 Snow Melt Control Panel
$843.00ProMelt Contactor Pro panels provide industry leading automatic snow melting and deicing control. For best results, it should be used in conjunction with a sensor, such as the PM-224, to regulate ProMelt Mats and Cables. Learn More -
HeatTrak 25' Foot extension for Residential Walkway Mats
List Price: $49.95
Our Price: $47.95
If the electrical outlet on your house or facility is further than 6' from the heated mats you will need to use an outdoor rated cable extender. This 25-Foot Watertight Cable Extender will provide an additional level of protection against water and moisture than other outdoor rated extension cords. Learn More -
ProMelt/SlabHeat Heating Wire Repair Kit
$28.00ProMelt Heating Wire Repair Kit, Model: 200400 , MPN: 81012263 for only $28.00. Learn More -
ProMelt PM-824 Snow Sensor
$527.00The PM-824 uses a remote (wired) moisture sensor to detect both precipitation and temperature to activate a Contractor Pro control panel to power ProMelt Mats or Cables.

Championship Week Afternoon Games Open Thread
Oregon-Oregon St. SEC Championship Game. #1 & #2 trying to stay that way. Edit: Hopefully the B12, ACC Championships, and, uh, Apple Cup and U-Conn/S. Florida games are at least closer than the afternoon games.
OT: Oregon's "Speed Freak" offense in NY Times
Article on the speed/pace/tempo of the Oregon offense. It's what I was hoping for when RR got here... hope we can get there if he stays.
Championship Week Early Games Open Thread
The season is ending too quickly. Let's relish the few games we have left and hope for some interesting games. Have fun and let's keep it about the actual games and not about, well, the other stuff.
Who will be 2011's Defensive Denard Robinson?
Looking forward to the 2011 season, we know that the offense will be Ghengis Khan scorched earth level good. What the defense will be is another matter. The Offense took a huge leap forward because of the weaponization of the QB position. The 2010 defense is eerily similar to the 2009 offense. So who will make the jump that Drob made? I can think of 4 possibilities;
T- Wolf :Going into the season he was considered the most talented guy on the Defense before AMSHG smote him with fiery vengeance. He has the respect of the team, and shows the leadership that Denard possesses. With the added bonus of being a proven playmaker.
Kenny Demens: A guy that did not get onto the field until late in the season, and then showed instant impact. He is a solid playmaker that seems to be in the mold of wolverine LB's of yore.
Cam Gordon : Position switch extraordinaire, with boatloads of talent, yet is as raw as the day is long. Flashes of Brilliance ( Drob first snap against WMU) yet, lets a tightend get behind him ( Drob int against Iowa 2009).The guy is a playmaker that shows that he will be a beast....eventually. Added bonus, he made the all conference academic squad.
Courtnet Avery: Talented freshmen, pressed into duty to early ( wow eery resemblance). He has the requisite speed for the secondary. He made bad decisions at times, but that is to be expected from a freshman. He has gotten better with the more games he has played.
Who do you think it will be?
Does the Zooker get fired?
Zook's record at Illinois:
Overall | B10 | |
2005 | 2-9 | 0-8 |
2006 | 2-10 | 1-7 |
2007 | 9-4 | 6-2 |
2008 | 5-7 | 3-5 |
2009 | 3-9 | 2-6 |
2010 * | 6-6 | 4-4 |
Total * | 27-45 | 16-32 |
* With 2010 bowl still to be played. |
Rivals does not have D Hart on commitment list...?
I have not heard anything official, so I thought this may have been a bit premature. But discouraging.
If anyone has any updated information, please do tell

User Experience and Interface Designer
I'm 23-year-old User Experience and Interface Designer currently finishing a bachelor in Interactive Media Design, at Edinburgh Napier University in UK. I love to create immersive experiences and I'm passionate about prototyping and designing engaging interactions for mobile, TV and Web.
I have strong experience working with Adobe Creative Cloud, Axure, OmniGraffle, Balsamiq and also with HTML5, CSS3, PHP, Joomla, Wordpress. I speak fluent English and Slovak, and I have studied German, French.
At the moment, I'm working on my honours project, a real time telemetry app for race teams, called Live Racing. It clearly demonstrates my workflow and my prototyping skills. Click here to see my progress with the app.
Now I'm 23-years-old, and after being at university for past 4 years, I'm graduating in May. So my university chapter is finishing soon and I'm excited to start a new challenge.
Feel free to get in touch, if you are interested to work with me on some awesome projects.
YouView | September 2014 - Present | London, United Kingdom
After my Interaction Design Internship at YouView had finished, I got an offer to continue working for a Web Team remotely from Edinburgh. The work I was doing was mainly focused on prototyping and front end web design. An example of my work is the mobile responsive YouView Support website, which is mentioned above in Portfolio section.
September 2014 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom
After being one year in Germany and doing the Summer Internship in London, it was the time to come back to Edinburgh to enter the final year of my studies and work on my bachelor honours project.
When I came to Edinburgh, I have changed my course from BSc. Creative Computing to BSc. Interactive Media Design – which fits better with my studies, interests and work I want to do in the future.
PS: No, I didn't walk from Stuttgart to Edinburgh :P
YouView | June 2014 - September 2014 | London, United Kingdom
My goal for Summer 2014 was to find an internship in a great company, where I can work on UI, UX and Web Design. I have applied to YouView, and I successfuly accepted and got a position, which I dreamed about – Interaction Designer! Moreover, YouView is based in London, where I have never been before!
The internship was … AMAZING! We have worked on numerous projects using cutting-edge technology. The projects I was involved in were based on various types of interaction such as TV - remote, Mobile App - touch, Website - mouse and keyboard. I have mainly worked on Prototyping & Designing new features for the YouView box, Documentation, User Testing and Evaluation, and Web Design.
I have really enjoyed my summer at YouView, because it was simply fun! I have realised that I was enjoing it is much that I was 'flowing', and I didn't take it as an 'ordinary job'.
Stuttgart Media University | February 2014 - July 2014 | Stuttgart, Germany
During my exchange at Stuttgart Media University, I have accepted an offer to provide tutorial classes for undergraduate students, for the following courses: Screen Design, Mobile Advertising and Brand Engagement. The tutorials took place in practical labs, where I was leading classes focused on Web Design, Prototyping, HTML5, CSS3 and Phone Gap. I was also assisting the lecturer during his lectures.
Adobe | Summer 2014 - July 2014
In Summer 2014, I have also completed 6 week App Design course from ADOBE Generations. The course was focused on Mobile App Design and Development, jQuery Mobile, Phone Gap Buld and App.js framework.
t4 Marketing / i7 Group | 2012 - 2014 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom
During my exchange at Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien), I have accepted an offer to provide tutorial classes for undergraduate students, for the following courses: Screen Design, Mobile Advertising and Brand Engagement. The tutorials took place in practical labs, where I was leading classes focused on Web Design, Prototyping, HTML5, CSS3 and Phone Gap. I was also assisting the lecturer during his lectures.
Edinburgh Napier University | 2011 - 2015 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom
In 2011, I have finished the secondary school and I have realized that if I stay studying in Slovakia, I might not get as much hands-on-experience and I won't be taught by a leading market. For that reason, I made a big step in my life, I have applied and got accepted for a university in Edinburgh, so I left my family and moved to completely new part of the world.
My course at Edinburgh Napier University has changed a couple of times. At first I started studying Marketing with Digital Media, and after first year I switched to Creative Computing (Digital Media). After coming back to Edinburgh from my summer internship, and the exchange in Germany, I have changed my course again to Interactive Media Design as it reflected what I was actually studying and what I want to do in future!
In general my studies were focused on User Experience Design, User Interface Design, Web Design and Development, Mobile App Design.
Zhengzhou University | May 2013 - May 2014 | Zhengzhou, China
Edinburgh Napier University's School of Computing has been running internship trips to teach in Zhengzhou China for a number of years. In 2013, me and 5 other students won this this amazing opportunity. The main point of this project was to assist to 2 professors from Edinburgh during their lectures for Chinese undergraduate students and to run practical sessions for them. My role was focused on HCI, Prototyping and Web Design.
After the trip I have created a website about our experience. Click here to open it.
Stuttgart Media University | September 2013 - June 2014 | Stuttgart, Germany
I've spent a year abroad in Germany at Stuttgart Media University studying BSc. Mobile Media. The studies were focused on User Interface Design, User Experience Design, Mobile Apps Design, Mobile Game Design, Web Design, Graphic Design, Mobile Advertising and Brand Engagement.
In Stuttgart, I have developed my most successful project (so far) – PORSCHEvolution.
Adobe | September 2013 - June 2014 | Stuttgart, Germany
In Germany I also became an official representative of Adobe at Stuttgart Media University. I was asked to educate other students, drive deep awareness of Adobe and Adobe Creative Cloud, and execute marketing strategies on behalf of Adobe.
I also run 2 workshops with the students, where in the first one I was showing how the Phone Gap Build works and the second one was about Adobe Edge Code.
Homola Motorsport | 2008 - Present
Since 2009, I have been working at Homola Motorsport as a Digital Media Manager. My role has been evolving in past 6 years, firstly I have started with Web Design and Website administration, and later on I became also a Team Photographer and Video guy. Due to my studies in Edinburgh, I became an admin of the website, team designer, and I have agreed to manage online promotion, social media. Moreover, I became also responsible for PR communication with sponsors, media, TV, radio and newspaper.
In 2013 and 2014 my brother, Mato Homola, raced in FIA ETCC – European Touring Car Championship, where he had finished twice 2nd in overall results! During those two years I was almost on every single race live-tweeting, writing quick news about the race progress.
2008 | Bratislava, Slovakia
It was my father who in 2008 asked me if I feel like creating a website about his racing. He knew that I had some basic knowledge about HTML and also he knew that I'm eager to learn new stuff. I got excited, I have immediately agreed to try something.
The website had to have a press release / blog section and I knew my basic HTML skills won't be enough to create a complex website. That's why I have researched about CMS systems and I choose Joomla 1, mainly due it's design, which didn't look like a blog (unlike Wordpress at that time).
In the end, I have managed to put the website together! It looked fine, but when I evaluate it now in 2015 – the UX was fine, but the design and the code was really bad. Since 2008, I have redesigned the website 6 times – I have always learned something new, so the website had to reflect my skills and experience.

On the April 28 episode of '16 and Pregnant,' a high school dropout is forced to give up her party girl lifestyle after she becomes pregnant. Millina, 17, is also burdened by her troubled family, including a drug addict mother who is currently locked up for multiple drug charges.
Millina, 17, makes some very difficult decisions after realizing that she must put her son first so that he is not raised in the same toxic environment that she was.
'16 & Pregnant' — Millina & Trevor's Story
In this brand new episode of 16 & Pregnant, we are introduced to Millina Kacmar. She is a 17-year-old high school dropout from Harrison Township, Michigan. Millina's parents are divorced, which is no surprise when you find out that her mother is a drug addict who can't stay out of jail, and her father is super flaky and financially unstable. Because of her not-so-great parents, Millina and her younger brother Moses have been living with their grandma.
Millina quickly tells us that she went through a "rebellious" stage which is when she dropped out of high school to join the rave scene. While she was busy partying all night with glow sticks, she met her boyfriend Trevor. Unfortunately for them, they have to ditch the glow sticks for diapers now that Millina is pregnant.
At seven months pregnant with a baby boy, Millina and Trevor have decided to name their son Kayden. Millina's mother has been in jail for the entire duration of her pregnancy, which has not made things easy for the teenager. However, her hopes are high that her mom will be released into a rehab facility soon so that they can start spending time together before the baby is born. For now, they talk constantly on the phone.
Though their relationship doesn't seem very strained as they talk on the phone, Millina admits that she is having a difficult time dealing with her pregnancy without her mom. Millina talks to Trevor about this, and he reminds her that her mother is a grown woman who makes her own decisions and has to face her own consequences. He seems like a smart kid, so hopefully he sticks by Millina throughout her difficult pregnancy.
Much like Autumn Crittendon on the previous episode of 16 & Pregnant, Millina admits that she was "against" birth control because she heard that other people were having issues with theirs — like gaining weight. Because of this, she has decided to research birth control for after Kayden is born so that she doesn't end up with a second unplanned pregnancy.
Millina Does Not Want Kayden To Deal With An Addict Mother
During a quiet dinner with her friend Haley, Millina admits that although she misses her party lifestyle, she has no plans to return to raving after Kayden is born. Millina has experienced first hand what it's like to have a mother who puts drugs and alcohol before their child, and she doesn't want to do that to her own son.
When we are introduced to Trevor's mom, Tina, Millina describes her as "emotionally unstable" and "judgmental." Apparently, Tina suffers from a health condition that causes her to have seizures without any warning. The judgmental part of her personality is in regards to Millina's mom's situation, which she probably can't be blamed for.
Despite her issues with Tina, Millina tries very hard to always be polite and put their differences aside because it is important to Trevor that they get along. However, while showing Tina the 3D ultrasound photos they had taken of the baby, Tina loses her cool within minutes. After offering to help them take care of the baby, Millina mentioned her concerns about Tina's seizures. I have to admit that I don't blame Millina for this, because if she were to have a seizure while holding the baby, the baby could be in grave danger. What if she dropped him? It's a scary though, and Millina has every right to be concerned. But it's a touchy subject for Tina, and she is quick to remind Millina that her own mother isn't there for her like she is. Ouch.
Millina's grandmother seems to be the only stable person in her life. She has Millina's best intentions at heart, but she is also adamant about not taking care of Millina's baby for her. I guess she doesn't want to be the next Barbara Evans!
Even though she should be focusing on setting up where she is going to live with her baby when he is born, Millina is burdened with having to worry about her mothers legal issues. Millina attends a court hearing for her mothers case in hopes that she will be released, but there is no such luck. Unfortunately, after prosecutors claim that Millina's mother has a history of relapsing and fleeing once she is released, the judge decides to keep her in custody until the case is resolved. This means that Millina's mom will be in jail for the rest of her pregnancy, including when she gives birth to Kayden. How sad.
Trevor's Mom Loses Her Cool With Millina
Millina makes an effort to spend more time with her dad, because she wants to find out what sort of relationship he hopes to have with her son. Millina's dad Steve admits that he has had a lot of issues: drugs, alcohol, financial, anger, abuse, and more. It's scary to hear, but he claims that he is not like that anymore. Steve shares that he went through rehab and therapy to get his life together, and he certainly seems to be in a better place than Millina's mom.
Meanwhile, Trevor's mom has decided to move in with a friend who has a house that is "three times" as big as their house. Tina has invited Millina to come and live with her and Trevor. Millina tells Trevor exactly how she feels: she does not feel comfortable living with Tina's mom because of her health issues. Trevor tells Millina that she has to talk to Tina on her own and tell her how she feels otherwise she will just keep pushing for her to move in with them. Millina is reluctant, but she agrees.
When Millina finally sits down to talk with Tina, we find out why she is reluctant. As soon as Millina tells Tina that she is not comfortable leaving her baby alone with her because of her seizures, things get heated really quickly.
Tina doesn't understand why Millina has concerns about leaving her baby with her, which is baffling because even Tina has admitted she has a disability and will be living with a friend who plans to take care of her. How can she care for a baby when she can't even care for herself? It's sad to see her outburst, but it's clear that Tina needs to face reality.
Millina sits her grandma down to tell her about how Tina went "apeshit" on her and Trevor. Things have really taken a turn for the worse, because now Trevor has to spend time making up with his mom instead of helping Millina prepare for their baby's arrival. Before Millina can talk to him about it, she goes into labor.
Despite their argument, Tina comes with Trevor to the hospital and sits in the waiting room while Millina is giving birth.
Kayden James Michael was born on Dec. 5 at 7lbs and 13oz. How exciting for Millina and Trevor!
Trevor Turns On Millina
Four days after the baby is born, Millina is at home in her grandma's house. Trevor comes over to visit, but he is being pushy about bringing the baby to see Tina. Trevor tells Millina that Tina is trying really hard to put her negative opinions behind her so that Millina will let her see her grandson.
While some teen moms really struggle with having a baby, Millina is a natural. She spends a lot of time with Kayden while her grandma and Trevor are at work, and by the looks of it she really has motherhood down pat. From changing diapers, to feeding, to sweet little cuddles, Millina is a very attentive young mom who has her child's best interest at heart. It's refreshing to see.
Unfortunately, Millina and Trevor's relationship is starting to suffer because of Tina. When Millina continues to ignore Tina's phone calls, Trevor gets involved because he wants to see his girlfriend and his mother getting along. So, now not only is Millina fighting with Tina, now she's also fighting with Trevor.
A month after the baby is born, Millina brings him to her mom's next court hearing. It's a sentencing hearing, and her mom can either face more jail time or finally be put in an in-patient rehab facility. During the hearing, Millina holds Kayden up so that her mom can finally see him in person. When the judge asks Millina's mom why she deserves to be released, she mentions that her addiction kept her from the birth of her grandson. Her speech about wanting to "get it right" seems sincere, but the judge is not buying it. Instead, he sentences her to 200 more days in county jail. Everyone is upset about the decision, including Millina's grandma. Once again, Millina has to be strong for everyone around her.
After the court hearing, Millina reaches out to Trevor for support but he refuses to return her calls because of the fight with his mom.
Millina finally goes out for the first time without the baby when she goes for mani-pedi's with her friend. Thankfully, her grandma is watching Kayden, and that allows her to have some downtime.
Millina Realizes Nothing Will Ever Be The Same
Finally, Millina caves and asks her dad to bring her and Kayden to visit Trevor and Tina. When Millina tells Trevor and Tina that she has been working day and night to take care of the baby by herself, Trevor reminds her that she could be living with him where there are more people to help take care of Kayden. It really seems like they are trying to bully her into the decision, especially when everyone — including her dad — gets on her case about bringing the baby to the courthouse.
It's the straw that breaks the camels back. Millina breaks down and admits that it feels like everyone is ganging up on her. No one, including Trevor, understands what she is going through.
Millina and Trevor spend time alone with Kayden after the incident at his house, and she tries to get him to understand that she is only putting Kayden's best interest above everything else. She also tries to get him to understand that his mom bullies her, but he doesn't really get it.
At the end of the episode, Millina admits that this is not how she wanted Kayden to grow up — in a broken home.
"It's important that Kayden never has to feel the things that I've felt," Millina explains as the episode ends.

One thing young parents should understand is just because u and ur kids father/mother are not together does not mean ur family is broken…..I believe Millina did what she had to do for the most important person….Kayden….. As long as they raise that precious baby together whether they are in a relationship…. They will have a strong foundation for him….Good luck and prove itself right

It seems like she took the opportunity to hang the baby over their heads. The father definitely has rights if he signed the birth certificate no court will challenge that unless there are reasons to. If she doesn't allow him to see the baby she will be saddened when she's forced by the courts. Trevors mom has seizures, so do mothers. The mother never asked to have the baby alone with no one's help. She can simply go through the court and be granted grandparents rights to that baby. I mean if millina thinks she's the only person that is allowed to see the baby she is mistaken. If they wanted to they could prove her an unfit mother and she doesn't have to have the baby period. She lives with her grandmother because her parents are junkies that alone is a problem. I'd rather a woman who has seizures to hold my baby than a life long drug problems. They clearly didn't care for her nor her brother so why would she take the baby out in freezing weather for someone who's priorities aren't correct. Then the baby got sick, wow! Another point of an unfit mother. That child better forget her personal problems with that babies non drugged family and let him be allowed to a family.

She seems to be as rude as the mother, she needs to understand that the father has rights to have HIS child visit his mother, she seems to want to keep the baby from whom ever she feels. She seems to have the mind of a child, his mother tried to make amends n talk but she is still carrying anger. It will take time I wish them well

The grandmother has NO RIGHTS legally and Trevor doesn't either unless he establishes paternity and takes her to court. Millina is doing what she thinks is right and Trevor is a mama's boy who need to realize his mom is a bully. She is emotionally controlling of both Trevor and Millina. VERY unhealthy individual.

SPN 374K • Colonial Spanish American Literature
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |

Nicolopulos |
Course Description
In the very first description of the New World written by a European, Columbus constructs his representation of what he took for the "Indies" upon the basis of a binary opposition between the marvelous and the monstrous. This bipolar vision of America has dominated much writing about Spanish America ever since, and noted writer Alejo Carpentier was to identify the early chronicles and relaciones of the colonial period as the foundational texts of what he was to postulate as the underlying principle of Latin American culture: the marvelous real (lo real maravilloso). In this course, we will explore selected, early representations of quests driven by desire (for fame, wealth, power, salvation, safety, liberation) that propel their protagonists through both geographical and discursive spaces constructed around the marvelous and the monstrous.

Oil giant BP PLC said in an internal report released on Wednesday that multiple companies and work teams contributed to the massive Gulf of Mexico spill that fouled waters and shorelines for months.
In a 193-page report posted on its website on Wednesday, the British company describes the incident as an accident that arose from a complex and interlinked series of mechanical failures, human judgments, engineering design, operational implementation and team interfaces.
BP spread the blame around, and even was critical of its own workers' conduct, but it defended the design of its well and it was careful in its assessments. It already faces hundreds of lawsuits and billions of dollars in liabilities. In public hearings, it had already tried to shift some of the blame to rig owner Transocean Ltd. and cement contractor Halliburton. BP was leasing the rig from Transocean and owned the well that blew out.
The report was generated by a BP team led by Mark Bly, BP's head of safety and operations.
BP's report is far from the final word on possible causes of the explosion, as several divisions of the U.S. government, including the Justice Department, Coast Guard and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, are also investigating.
Also, a key piece of the puzzle — the blowout preventer that failed to stop the oil from leaking from the well off the Louisiana coast — was raised from the water on Saturday. As of Tuesday afternoon, it had not reached a NASA facility in New Orleans where government investigators planned to analyze it, so those conclusions were not be part of BP's report.
The April 20 rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons (nearly 800 million liters) of oil spewing from BP's undersea well.
Investigators know the explosion was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before igniting.
But they don't know exactly how or why the gas escaped. And they don't know why the blowout preventer didn't seal the well pipe at the sea bottom after the eruption, as it was supposed to.
The details of BP's internal report were closely guarded — and only a short list of people saw it ahead of its release.
There were signs of problems prior to the explosion, including an unexpected loss of fluid from a pipe known as a riser five hours before the explosion that could have indicated a leak in the blowout preventer.
Witness statements show that rig workers talked just minutes before the blowout about pressure problems in the well.

After meeting and later spending quality time with Greer Addison, Rafael gets a surprise from Greer and those old issues come flooding back with a vengeance. Can he trust her or will she leave him just like the last one?
Loved it! Raphael is definitely in the lead for book boyfriend of the year. He's the bad ass of the group but underneath he's a big teddy bear. Greer went to the right person when she needed help. The chemistry between them was so amazing that the pages were smoking. Naima Simone has written a fantastic series with sexy alpha men and the women that are meant to be theirs. I can't wait to read more from the Secrets and Sins series!

Greer Addison has lost her way. She is accused of killing her unfaithful ex-fiancée. She knows she didn't do it but she can't remember what happened when she found his body. Her parents have turned their back on her. Her one-night stand with a stranger left her pregnant. Now she's the target of a stalker. She needs help. She goes to Raphael Marcel, her lover for one night. He's part owner of Liberty Security Services. He'll be able to help her, but first she must tell him about the baby. What happens now? Raphael's story is the third book in the Secrets and Sins series. It's a wild ride filled with passion, danger and death. I loved Greer and Raphael. These characters are well-written and complex. Their sexual chemistry is immediate and off the charts. Both have secrets that they keep deeply buried. I loved seeing them learn to trust and give their hearts. The secondary characters, some old and some new, add to the depth of the story. The suspense keeps building and the identity of the culprit is well-concealed. I was blown away by the ending. This series keeps getting better. I'm looking forward to reading Chayot Grey's story this summer. Naima Simone writes a sensual and moving novel that will leave you breathless.

***Received from Entangled Publishing for an honest review***
Greer just can't catch a break. First, she discovers her fiancé cheating on her, literally. Second, her parents' reaction to her breaking off their engagement was not what she was hoping for. Third, she discovers her ex-fiancé's body in her apartment after having the best sex of her life with the hottest man she ever met. Fourth, she gets pinned with her ex-fiancé's murder. Fifth, she receives creepy notes. Sixth, she finds out she pregnant with hot guy's baby.
My heart ached for Greer, not because everything was going wrong but because of how she was treated by her parents. She was a socialite princess with the world at her feet and everything literally at her command. But the one thing she needed and could never have was her parents' approval. Her father was a selfish, ruthless bastard without an ounce of compassion for his heartbroken daughter. His concern was image, not her. How pathetic. And her mother? She might as well be absent for all she was worth. She wasn't strong enough to speak out against her husband, to stand up for her daughter. Silence in the face of cruelty is no better than inaction.
Raphael. He was Greer's best sex partner, her baby's daddy, and partner and half owner of a successful security firm. Oh, and he's got that bad boy thing–tattoos, piercings, long hair–going on despite all the success and money he has. He's the opposite of Greer's ex-fiancé but he's perfect for her. Too bad he's got a hangup about being her baby's daddy, thanks to a woman who played him wrong.
I loved the fast-pace of this story, love that I wasn't given the chance to become bored with any part of this story at all. The highs and lows of their relationship, of the investigation, of who each character is and their respective pasts, were fascinating to read about. There was a terrific blend of suspense, attraction, romance, disappointment, hope, revelation, and love that just…really spoke to me and had me really, really wanting them to have the HEA they both deserved.

For some reason I fully expected this to have paranormal aspects. Probably the who "sin" and "Raphael" thing, angels and all. Well, there's a tie-in to angels (he and his friends all have angelic names, though they're far from actually angels). However, there was no paranormal, just a lot of wondering "who did it".
Greer - can't say I blame her, running and looking for a hot one-night stand after she dumps her fiancé for sleeping with another woman. I loved the encounter between her and Raphael in the parking lot. I'm not an exhibitionist at all, nor do I like books where it takes place, but this just teases the possibility of getting caught, and that was great. Her parents are jerks, and I honestly don't understand why anyone would have children if they're not willing to accept them for who they are and what mistakes they might/might not make.
Raphael - He has good reason to distrust women who claim to be pregnant with his baby, and I thought this aspect was surprisingly well done, the way he gradually came to see Greer in a different light after he started helping her track down who was trying to torment her with the murder of her ex-fiancé.
The only reason I didn't fully love (in other words, give it five stars) was the predictability of who the real murderer was AND I was just speechless at how clueless Raphael was. I mean, once one little detail is revealed, how the HECK didn't they put two and two together? As soon as a name comes out in a background check, it became crystal clear, and neither Raphael (a security expert) nor Greer (who knew the individual) connected the dots. I was practically screaming at the book about this issue and in fact flipped back a couple pages to see if maybe the name hadn't been said out loud, so Greer wouldn't have heard it, but no...
Anyway, I liked this book a lot and recommend it for anyone who wants a great romance between two strong characters, and a nice secondary cast to round things out.
Four stars for this!

This is the 3rd book in the Secrets and Sins novels and I admit I have not read the first two but was still able to follow the story easily. After having read this wonderful story I do plan to read the other as well, you may want to just do that right away as there are some spoilers from the other books. Greer walks in on her fiancé in bed with another woman. After canceling her wedding she ends up in bed with a sexy security specialist Raphael Marcel. When Greer comes home from her one night stand with Raphael, she find her fiancé dead, she is left unconscious and no memory of what happened. The only person she can turn to is Raphael, does he trust her enough to help? Action packed and sexy. A wonderful read I couldn't put it down and am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Secrets and Sins: Raphael, Naima Simone
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
I missed the first in this series, but loved the second, Malachim, so was pleased to get book three for review. I love the way the four men are so close, their childhoods were all different, and yet they each had problems that brought them together, cemented by an incident in which they all helped cover up a man's death. Awful you think – but it was self defence, and when it finally came out many years later they were cleared of murder.
Raphael is determined not to get caught a second time in a pregnancy trap – last time he thought he was the father, then a DNA test proved the woman he thought he loved had been lying to him all along. He's not going to get fooled a second time, so when Greer comes to him after their one hot night and says she's pregnant and its his child he isn't convinced, though she says she hadn't been having sex with her fiancé. He's been murdered, and for a while she was the main suspect, now someone is targeting her with threats and she's concerned for herself and the baby. She's hurt that he doesn't believe her, but not surprised. She knows nothing of his history but can see from his look that he isn't convinced. Still, he is in the business of security and takes her into his home for protection. The threats escalate from letters to car vandalising to attempts to kidnap her...and all the while she and Raphael are fighting a sizzling, sensual attraction. Greer doesn't want to rely on yet another person who will let her down, the only ones so far not to have done are her brother and her best friend Noah. She low on self esteem, and thinks Raphael will get tired of her, bored with her and let her go. She knows that will leave her broken hearted, already she has deep feelings for him, so she's trying to keep herself detached. Its tough though with a sensual, hot man helping her, especially when she sees a kinder, softer side to him. I loved Greer, she was tough – she'd had to be with parents like hers, and strongly independent and yet she accepted help for the sake of the baby. Sensible balance between relying on someone for everything and being so stubborn she's risking danger.
Raphael, wow – hot or what! That one night in the back-seat of his truck was far hotter and meant more to Greer than anything she'd experienced before. She knew she didn't love her fiancé, nor he her, but thought they had enough respect and closeness to make a successful marriage, plus she'd finally done something her domineering father was proud of. She didn't want to be like her mother, so obsessed with love she ignored her children and let their dad emotionally abuse them. Raphael is protecting her as best he can while his friends help him untangle the mystery of who and why Greer's life is being threatened. He lets Greer help where she can without getting into danger, and respects her as an intelligent person. He's getting to know her too, and finding she's not the shallow socialite he thought she was, like the lady who let him down before, but still he's trying to keep himself from getting attached.
Its a great read, sensual and seductive with elements of danger that need to be solved. I didn't guess "who dunnit" - got that very wrong....and that's great as it shows how well the mystery was covered up. Sometimes its obvious who the perpetrator is and I'd much rather be kept in suspense til the end.
Stars: Five, its a great read, one for the keeper files for re reading. I look forward to the next story.

Love, loss and mystery
This was a great story, very original and well written. You have a little of everything from love
and betrayal, friends and enemies, an unexpected pregnancy and a murder to solve. Along
with someone trying to tie up loose ends. Even though this is the 3rd book of a series, it's
also a self contained book. Though reading the first two would have given more background
on some of the main player, it did not distract from this story and the enjoyment of reading it.
Very good plot and characters interaction along with surprises at the end of the story.
Great job to the author. I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of an
honest review and was not compensated.

When the past and the present collide, doubts and old insecurities surface; gear is a demon that feeds on such emotions. When Raphael and Greer are forced to face their separate pasts, will they find the strength to overcome, or will the danger that's looming drive them apart for good?
Raphael is an intense and irresistible mixture of power and sensuality. His long hair, piercings and intricate tattoos accentuate the lethal energy his toned body exudes. Raised by a single mom on the rough side of town, he built walls around his heart at an early age, designed to protect him from the pain of betrayal. He does not give his trust easily, but will defend those he considers family to the death.
Greer came from a wealthy background, nothing was more important than protecting her family's social status and perfect image. The vivacious beauty is determined always be honest with herself, and has no desire to lose her identity to the twisted example of love her parents set for her as a child.
When Raphael and Greer meet for the first time, the physical attraction each feels for the other ignites a sensual chemistry that neither has experienced before. It quickly becomes clear that one night isn't going to be enough to burn through their passion, but a series of devastating events keeps them apart.
When Greer turns to Raphael and his security firm for protection, they quickly realise that neither has forgotten their previous encounter. Even the most amazing sexual experiences don't always lead to balanced relationships, and the emotional cost of their previous experiences causes them to hesitate to reach for more. Greer feels cared for and protected by Rafael, and he admires her strength and determination. Will they be able to overcome the past and open their hearts to each other?
Secrets and Sins: Raphael, is a fast paced and well written romance that packs a punch. The complexity of the main story line was expertly developed. A host of supporting characters added additional layers of depth to an already memorable storyline. I was invested in this story from the very first sentence. Third in the series, it can be read as a stand alone story, but well loved characters from previous books do make brief appearances that fans will enjoy. A sensual and breathtaking adventure, this is an example of Naima Simone's story telling is at it's best!

Greer is engaged to a man whom she finds in bed with another woman. Funny thing is she is upset because she thought she was making the right decision to spend her life with this man, but she really didn't find any passion.
Then she meets Raphael...tattooed and hunky. A one night stand ends up with her fiance dead, she is a suspect, and someone is stalking her.
Loved this book. Couldn't put it down. This is a series book, but I didn't feel like reading it out of order made that big of a deal. I could pick up the book, latch right into it, and enjoy the characters.
4.5 Stars
Sometimes when you read a book you just instantly click with the characters, and for me this was one of those books. Greer was everything I look for in a heroine – she was strong, determined, resilient, honest, and kind. What I most loved though, was that no matter what life was dealing her – and she often was given the short straw - she dealt with it head on, never backing down, and usually with a great sense of humor.
And Raphael…well let me just tell you that he is definitely in my top three when it comes to fictional characters that I would want guarding me! He is honest, real, and a sexy as sin bad boy who has done good for himself. And did I mention the tattoos? From his first interaction with her at the bar, to him going all uber-protective alpha-male on Greer when she comes to him for help, I couldn't help but fall in love with him. Even though Raphael has some trust issues and has been scarred by a previous relationship, he couldn't help but do whatever he could to help Greer. It was fun to watch the two of them together try to fight the attraction (which doesn't even begin to describe the sparks jumping between these two!) that they had going on, and it was wonderful to see them finally give in and begin to trust one another.
The story itself was great – I loved the mystery surrounding who was setting Greer up and the why behind it. Just when I thought I had it all figured out there was another twist or turn that kept me guessing or adding another piece to the puzzle. The relationships of the characters were great – Raphael and his friends were so tight and I loved how Greer and her brother were so close despite growing up in household that didn't contain much love. Even the bad guys had personality – which sometimes doesn't get well developed in books.
Naima Simone has written a fabulous book that had me from the first page. Her writing sucked me and had me living the book with the characters. Her dialogue was spot on and I just loved being able to read the emotions of her characters on the page…
"In the past four months," she said, suddenly very tired, "I've discovered a man I respected and trusted – a man who was not just my fiancé but a good friend – betrayed me. A woman I also called a friend was screwing that fiancé behind my back. And when I was accused of his murder, my parents abandoned me. They were never affectionate, but still…they were my mother and father. I expected them to at least stand by me even if it was to maintain the image of a loving family. Instead they threw me to the wolves. People I knew, loved, relied on…believed in. And they deceived me, hurt me, threw me away. Raphael, if one more person I trust turns out to be…" She didn't finish the thought, but inhaled a shuddering breath, shaking her head. "I think it would break me. So yes, I was happy when I didn't recognize the man on the video. Because it means one more person I love doesn't resent or despise me."
I can't wait to go back and read the first two books in this series and then get my hands on the next book when it comes out.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher for an honest review.
When Greer Addison finds her future husband in bed with another woman, she runs…right into the arms of dark and dangerous Raphael Marcel. Angry and hurt, she throws caution to the wind
and spends a hot night with the sexy security specialist. But when her fiancé is found dead, Greer becomes the main suspect of a crime she can't remember.
Raphael is stunned and suspicious when Greer shows up on his doorstep claiming she's carrying his baby. Worse, she's the target of a stalker bent on making her pay for a murder she doesn't recall. As Raphael begins to trust Greer, they must race against the clock to uncover a killer.
Because Greer's memory is returning...
Always a sucker for unexpected pregnancy story, I was very happy to read this book and really liked it.
I found out this is the third book in the series, but I was totally not lost. I think the Author did a great job building the story so we understood Raphael's friends and his past.
I really liked the mystery surrounding Greer and her dead ex-fiance. The Author did a great job of keeping the mystery going/keep me guessing until the very end. But I felt so sorry for one of the supporting characters who got caught in the the crossfire (not telling who to keep the mystery going for those who have not read the story yet).
Rafe and Greer have great chemistry, but they both have pasts that get in their way of trusting and loving each other. The Author makes the story more believable in that Rafe does not immediately go all instant family when he finds out the news. I also liked the whole from the opposite side of the tracks love aspect to the story too.
Great Book! will definitely pick up more of Ms. Simone's work

Raphael and Greer's story is a romantic suspense novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Raphael is book 3 in the Secrets and Sins series, but it reads as a stand alone novel. If you read this one first, you will definitely interested in checking out the first two books! Naima Simone is a wonderful author and I look forward to more of her stories!

Someone is stalking her and they are escalating. Greer runs to Rafe and whether he believes her or not about the baby he will protect her.
This is always a fun trope. Add in the wonderful mystery and super sexy hero and I'm all in. I really enjoyed watching Greer grow. She loses some of her naiveté but gains self-assurance.
Although this is the third in the series it can be read stand alone. The author gives you what you need to know from the past books and just enough tease to make you want to run out and buy them (Secrets and Sins: Gabriel and Secrets and Sins: Malachim).

The third Secrets and Sins book is a riveting romantic suspense that captures the heart. After spending a hot night with a security specialist, Greer finds her fiancé dead and she becomes the main suspect in his murder, but she has no memory of what happened. When Greer shows up on his doorstep pregnant, Raphael is stunned and suspicious, worse she's the target of a stalker bent on making her pay for a murder she doesn't recall.
The fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on their toes and the adrenaline pumping with lots of suspense, action, drama and romance. The author paints vivid images of the events and scenes with well written words and details that capture the imagination and makes the reader feel as if they are right in the middle of the action. The strong compelling characters are easily related to and draw the reader deeper into the story. Spine tingling tension builds throughout the story keeping the reader on the edge of their seat as the danger escalates especially when Greer starts to remember.
The attraction and chemistry between burns hot enough to singe the reader and the sex scenes are scorching hot, but the relationship is a little slow to catch up to the passion because of their emotional issues. The reader can't help but get emotionally caught up in both characters stories as they have both been emotionally betrayed by loved ones and the author brought tears to my eyes in a couple of places, and Greer courage and strength captures the heart and had me wanting to beat her parents upside the head with a baseball bat (she's better off without them).
I was totally engrossed in the story from beginning to end and I found it enjoyable and entertaining with some twists that I sure didn't see coming and captivating characters that have me wanting to know more. I haven't read the first two books in this series but I am definitely curious about Gabe and Mal stories now and of course I can't wait for Chay's.
