You can and will get banned for being a ****** in these games. It ruins the experience for 9/10 players and is reportable/bannable. The problem is determining the legitimacy of the infraction, but rest assured if it is obvious you were being an ass you can get in trouble for it.
Ignore anyone who tells you that being a jerk in custom games is ok. It isn't. The Summoner's Code isn't restricted to "Normal" and "Ranked" game types. Ruining the game for other players is ALWAYS wrong.
Senior Member
I report people who leave. I also report those who troll and don't follow the rules. You just use your better judgement to determine what category to stick them in. I make people agree to follow the rules before I start a game, so that way if they do break them, that means it was completely intentional. Also, only allowing levels 10+, 20+ or some other level restriction prevents a lot of trolls, because I've found most of them are at the lower levels.

Infant dies, police fatally shoot suspect after Folsom stabbing
Police fatally shot a man brandishing a knife outside a Folsom apartment building Thursday afternoon after a woman and her infant son were stabbed, authorities said.
The two victims and the suspect, who was shot after Folsom officers arrived at the scene on Montrose Drive at 2:30 p.m., were taken to area hospitals, said Officer Andrew Bates, Folsom police spokesman.
The 6-month-old boy died later at an area hospital. Neither the victims nor the suspect were identified.
"We received multiple calls of a stabbing that was in progress," Bates said. "We had officers respond. The first officer to arrive confronted a single subject who was armed with a large knife. That officer shot the subject."
Bates said the suspect, a male in his early 20s, died en route to an area hospital. His name was not released.
Bates said woman, the suspect's aunt, is in critical condition at an area hospital.
Folsom police cordoned off Montrose Drive, a popular pass-through for motorists in the city, and called surrounding police agencies for assistance.
"We're pouring out all of our resources into finding out what happened, (and) getting witnesses interviewed," Bates said Friday afternoon.
James McLean, a neighbor, said he heard two gunshots and some screaming from the nearby apartment building as he was doing yardwork.
He said he went to investigate and saw authorities tending to a wounded man who appeared to be offering "some resistance."
Bates said the suspect "did struggle and fight with officers until they were able to get him into custody."
Nearby, he said, he saw an apparently injured woman "lying on the grass by the wall." He said she was alive and "her legs were moving."
Soon afterward, he said, he saw paramedics taking out an injured child.
"I wish I took a video, because I was right there," he said.
"If a baby is involved, it's just horrible," said another neighbor, Joshua Smith, 23, who said he witnessed neither the incident nor the immediate aftermath.

Steelers top mistake-prone Favre, Vikings 27-17
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense is all about taking chances, playing risky, daring an opponent to find a way to win but only rarely allowing that to happen.

U.S. Revolutionary War's Haitians may be honored

U.S. Revolutionary War's Haitians may be honored
Savannah, Ga. -- After 226 years, Haitian soldiers who made up the largest
military unit in the Revolutionary War's bloody siege of Savannah may
finally get a monument in their honor. A proposed $500,000 bronze monument
is expected to be approved by city planners today. Underscoring the
project's importance to Haitians, Interim Prime Minister Gerard Latortue
scheduled a Savannah visit to meet with potential donors Saturday. In
October 1779, a force of more than 500 Haitian free blacks joined American
colonists and French troops in an unsuccessful push to drive the British
from Savannah in coastal Georgia, the last of the original 13 colonies.

NICK MAYER – Nature Illustration
April 12 - May 8, 2015
Reception during ArtsWalk - Friday, May 8 5 - 7 pm
Nick Mayer has found a unique niche between the disciplines of Art and Biology. Nick's undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology from Brown University allowed him to spend the earlier parts of his adult life working as a fisheries biologist, traveling around North and Central America studying and helping to improve fish populations. Now his work is devoted to capturing these beautiful creatures on paper.
While investigating the effects of the Exxon-Valdez oil spill on sockeye salmon, restoring spawning habitats for the last wild strain of steelhead in the Columbia River, studying the nesting habits of sea turtles in Costa Rica, and guiding in small streams of the Green Mountains for brook trout, Nick has kept detailed sketchbooks to later use as references in his watercolors. His paintings are not just portraits of fish, they are windows into real experience.
JOE BOLGER - Portraits in Oil
January 9 - March 7, 2015
Working mostly with oil in a representational style, Joe excels at capturing light and color in his paintings. Although Joe focuses mainly on plein air landscapes, he also loves to paint sports scenes, portraits, and figures. Joe maintains an intense focus on color and changing light conditions in his paintings, each of which seems to capture a unique moment in time. This exhibition will feature landscapes representing all of the seasons in Vermont.
Joe has always appreciated artists that paint light including many American artists, the Old Masters, and the Impressionists. The writings of John Carlson, Edgar Payne, Charles Hawthorne, and Richard Schmid have also strongly influenced Joe's landscape painting style. When it comes to the figure and the portrait, Joe admires the work of John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, and Anders Zorn.
Over the years, Joe has been fortunate to study under various professional artists including Louis Griffel, Rob Longley, John Killroy, Tom Browning, Clayton Beck, Camille Przewodek, Ken Backus, John Budicin, Albert Handell, Casey Baugh, Jack Keledjian, David Lussier and Scott Burdick.

Photography by James Blair
July 11 - August 16, 2014
Images from a life as photojournalist for the National Geographic Society.
James Blair worked as a staff photographer for the National Geographic Magazine for thirty years. Forty-five articles carried his byline and more than 2000 of his photos have appeared within its covers.
"My time photographing with the National Geographic opened my eyes to the beauty of the natural world and the wonder of its many inhabitants. It also brought into stark relief the pain and cruelty we humans too often experience. There have been times at which I questioned mankind's path and Mother Nature's response. From war to global warming, I have seen through my lens the seeds of our social and political conflicts today."
"Each of these eighteen photographs is but a single instant from long ago that was recorded on film and is now a part of the history of our time. I believe that the past is truly prologue to the future and for that reason I have selected these particular photographs as a warning of the problems that we, and our children, will sooner rather than later face."
Jane Eddy
Barbara Ekedahl
Ray Hudson
A portfolio of large format black and white photographs in and around Robert Frost's summer cabin and the Breadloaf Wilderness of Vermont.
"With The Pane in Empty Rooms, I've tried to create a portfolio that conveys the natural beauty of the farm and the surrounding lands that Frost explored and served to inspire him, while simultaneously communicating a little of the darkness I found in those empty rooms in Ripton."
Brett Simison is an award-winning editorial, commercial, and fine art photographer based in Vermont. His work has appeared in publications such as Outside Magazine, The New York Times, National Geographic Online, and Backpacker Magazine from assignments throughout the United States and abroad. The native of Citronelle, Alabama now lives with his wife Amy and son Connor in the city of Vergennes, Vermont. His website is www.brettsimison.com.
JIM BORDEN - An Exhibition in Celebration of a Lifetime of Art

The paintings in this exhibit were selected to show the range of his talent, skill and interests. Most paintings are for sale and will benefit Town Hall Theater and the James C. Borden Art Award established to award a cash prize to a graduating art student at Jim's high school alma mater.

May 24 - July 6, 2013
Double Portraits:
Great opera singers in their signature roles
Intrigued with the visual transformation singing artists undergo in the performance of their roles, Fran Bull's Double Portraits are an attempt to portray both the singer and the role being enacted.
Arias From the Artist's Notebook:
Lyrics for the Fools we are.
Bull imagines mini-operas in which an odd array of characters recite the quizzical words that have surfaced over a number of years in her artist's sketchbooks. The pieces began as a series of small collages and were photographed and enlarged by the great photographer, Don Ross.

AFRICA/SUDAN - No food for 10,000 displaced people in 18 months in West Darfur
El Geneina (Agenzia Fides) - The displaced people in refugee camps in El Geneina, capital of West Darfur, are suffering a severe food crisis and live in conditions of total insecurity. One of the elders of the camp of El Riyadh told the local Radio Dabanga that about 10,000 residents have not received food rations for 18 months due to the lack of re-registration of their names throughout this period. The lack of access to food, even for those who had been registered, has led to extremely difficult living conditions. Food rations, which are currently distributed to those in possession of identification documents, have been reduced by 75% and reduced only to corn. The monthly ration is now limited to a dish and a half per person compared to five which were usually distributed in the past.
The elder of the refugee camp urged the leaders of the food distribution to solve the problem of identity documents as soon as possible and to increase the food rations. At the same time, the security situation in the camps of El Geneina is worsening, due to increasing attacks by armed militias. An elder of the camp of Abu Zer reported that IDPs in camps are not safe, even in their own homes, because of repeated attacks and killings by armed gangs at night. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 25/09/2013)

Fourth of July: Fireworks are not pet-friendly
John Adams in a letter to his wife way back when, on July 3, 1776 wrote that America's Independence Day celebrations, "ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bon fires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever."
Today's July Fourth illuminations in local night skies, are not far off from Adam's description. Fireworks are an epically happy ending to folks picnics, hot dogs, burgers, beach barbeques, and parties here.
Perhaps it may be tempting to bring the family pup to see picnics and experience fireworks displays, too. But local pet experts agree, it's best to leave pets at home. Amanda Townsend, Director of Domestic Animal Services, reminds everyone to keep pets microchipped with up- to- date information just in case a furry best friend tries to make a run for it.
"Pets tend to be scared during the fireworks," says Townsend from her office located off Davis Boulevard. "We had an incredible story last year, where a seeing- eye dog ran away from his owner, during the New Year's Eve fireworks, and he was returned, because he had an implanted microchip," she recalls.
However, Townsend noted, "the microchip was registered to the dogs' training center, instead of to the owner, so it took a more time for the dog to be reunited with his owner." But a happy ending, and a reunification happened, due largely in part to the implanted microchip, and the coordinated efforts of Collier County Domestic Animal Services.
Stories like this are all too common during the Fourth of July, so keep these tips in mind and "paws" for a moment to register a pet with an implanted microchip, when your pets are at home on the Fourth of July.
To protect pets on the Fourth of July, here are precautions from the Humane Society from www.hsus.org:
• Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
• Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects—even death—in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.
• Keep your pets indoors at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you've removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company while you're attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.
• If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
• Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
• Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.
"Fireworks are like thunderstorms to dogs. Some dogs can get so upset, they chew their way through locked doors. There are medications for anxiety, and you can also keep them confined, but every dog is different" says Dr. Arthur Newman, DVM, of Crossroads Veterinary Clinic. "If you live in house that is close to fireworks, and you know your dog is prone to anxiety, you can also bring your dog to another home in the area where fireworks are not heard as easily."

P.S. Funny you should mention our northern water supply. My great great great grandfather Healy was a city councilman (representing the Northeast L.A. neighborhood where I still live), and was part of a four-man trip that went up to the Owens Valley to scout out the possibility of stealin' that water of yours! I have the pic of the four of them upstairs. Maybe I will scan it if anyone actually cares to see it. Pretty boring pic, though still cool and funny.

I could use 10 or 20 like-new film holders to tell you the truth. Some of mine seriously need to go into the circular file.
Once you get my check, just drop mine into the aqueduct, if you will.

Introduce Yourself
Thanks Biff. It's good to be back. Great job on the OS. I really like it a lot, that's why it was a quick decision to switch to it from Mint. It definitely runs fast on this machine. Yeah, tweaking is fun. I like the minimalist approach to the default software, it gives us the basics without a bunch of needless crap. :)

Introduce Yourself
Hey all. I've been here before but it's been a while, so I figued I'd re-introduce myself. I tried wattOS last year, I think it was R3, and I really enjoyed it. At the time, I was testing a lot of distributions. I was running Windows XP and 3-4 Linux distros on this computer and a couple other Linux distros on an older rig. I was continuously installing and testing new distros, doing a lot of distro hopping. Anyway, since then, I've settled down a bit. I've been running just one Linux install on this computer alongside Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. (I gave the other computer and my only copy of XP to my mom because her PC died) My distro of choice was Linux Mint, but I'm not a huge fan of Gnome 3. I like their MGSE and Cinnamon interfaces, but it's still Gnome 3 underneath. I tried Mint 12 KDE a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get my graphics card driver installed, despite trying the usual Ubuntu tool, SGFXI and even wget. Nothing worked, I kept breaking the install and having to reinstall and try again. So, I finally gave up in frustration and my Linux partition has pretty much stayed in a FUBAR state for the past few weeks. I was going to get Mint 12 LXDE to replace it, but I'm getting tired of waiting for it to be released, so I hit DistroWatch earlier. It was there that I saw the announcement that wattOS R5 had just been released. I remembered it was a good distro, so I had to take it for a spin. After a few minutes of testing, I knew I'd found my new Linux OS, so I installed it over the FUBAR Mint install. :D So, that's where I am. Here's what I'm running this beastie on: System: Host: chris-desktop Kernel: 3.0.0-16-generic-pae i686 (32 bit) Desktop: LXDE (Openbox 3.5.0) Distro: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiricMachine: Mobo: ASUSTeK model: P5G41-M LE version: Rev X.0x Bios: American Megatrends version: 0309 date: 10/27/2009CPU: Dual core Intel Celeron CPU E3300 (-MCP-) cache: 1024 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 vmx) Clock Speeds: 1: 2500.00 MHz 2: 2500.00 MHzGraphics: Card: nVidia G96 X.Org: 1.10.4 drivers: nvidia (unloaded: fbdev,vesa,nouveau) Resolution:

I hate Unity. It requires you to have 3D support to use it, so if you're using Intel Graphics you're fine, you get 3D support "out of the box" with open source drivers. I don't know about ATI but Nvidia has no 3D support with open source drivers. So, you can't even run Ubuntu Netbook Remix or 11.04 Alpha from a flash drive on Nvidia graphics to try out Unity (I tried.) Any desktop that requires 3D support to even run is just ridiculous, IMO. (it defaults back to the old fugly Gnome desktop if you don't have 3D support enabled)

I tried Bodhi Linux yesterday on my other computer because I wanted to try the new E17 1.0 release. I hadn't tried E17 since it was in alpha stage and it was a mess. E17 I liked but I installed the nvidia graphics driver via Synaptic and then it wouldn't boot back up. So, that was the end of me running Bodhi, unless I install it in VirtualBox or Qemu.

Perfection: Oxford downs Gators to finish 11-0
Oxford's 2005 team has company.
Quarterback Jack Abraham and running back Kenzie Phillips each accounted for two touchdowns, K.T.

Oxford D shows its mettle in shutout
Piling up 363 total yards and getting a monster game from sophomore running back Kenzie Phillips (208 yards and three touchdowns), Oxford's offense continued doing what it's been doing all year in the Chargers' 30-0 win over rival Lafayette in the annual Crosstown Classic Friday night.
With Phillips and senior Jarius Barnes making up a formidable rushing attack, a rising sophomore at quarterback in Jack Abraham and one of the best receivers around in Ole Miss commit D.K. Metcalf, the Chargers' offense has put up at least 30 points in every game it's played so far.
But just in case anybody forgot about the Oxford defense, the unit proved it's alive and well with its most dominant performance to this point against the Commodores. (September 16, 2013, Page 4B)
VIDEO BLOG: Oxford D proves its mettle in Crosstown shutout
BLOG–Following a strong summer showing on the 7-on-7 camp circuit and equipped with an SEC recruit at wideout in Ole Miss commit D.K. Metcalf and a pair of talented tailbacks in senior Jarius Barnes and sophomore Kenzie Phillips, the Oxford offense created a lot of buzz heading into this season.

Argonne Lab wins $120M battery research center near Chicago
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Argonne National Laboratory, southwest of Chicago, will receive $120 million from the Department of Energy to form a research center that will help develop better battery technology for electric vehicles, according to Crain's Chicago Business. Argonne is perhaps best known for developing the battery technology used in the Chevrolet Volt.
The Detroit Free Press also reports that two satellite facilities for the new research center will be located in Ann Arbor and Holland, Mich., and that it's not yet clear what job impact the initiative may have.
According to its web site, Argonne is currently home to over 1,250 scientists and engineers, and is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC.

RECIPE: Ice Box Fruit Cake
I got this recipe off of another list and made it a couple of weeks ago. we've really been enjoying it, so thought I'd share it here :-) I didn't have Brazil nuts so used cashews instead (macadamia nuts would be good, too). I used the food processor to grind the cookies into crumbs and chop the fruits, and next time I'll use the processor to chop the nuts too, since they should be pretty small.
Don't let the "fruitcake" name scare you off LOL.

Sounds interesting- our neighbor in Germany made a fruitcake for us one year and like many people, I don't care for the standard fruitcake but this one was excellent. Was a white one and had candied pineapple, nuts, and red and green candied cherries. Will have to give this one a try.

Wow...Thanks, Roto Rooter! by deemahree - 09/21/2013
If you need a plumber and you're in the spring, tx area...I would not hesitate to recommend Roto Rooter (281-444-4529). My main line sprung a leak and I didn't discover it until a Saturday morning. I called several other places that couldn't come out until late evening or Monday--so I called this Roto Rooter. The dispatcher called the tech and called me back within 15 minutes of my original call. The tech (Brian Joseph #828) and his associate Mike were at my door within an hour and got to work right away. They were professional, kind, and informative. Just the kind of people you want to work with. I am grateful for their immediate service and feel so much better that my problem is now fixed. Thanks, Roto Rooter!!!!

The actress, who secretly wed Dexter star Michael C. Hall on New Year's Eve (31Dec08), is worried she might have to give up her part as her husband's sister on the show - because details about the upcoming finale are being kept under wraps.
She explains, "There are three pages missing at the end (of the script). We're not allowed to know what happens.
"I'm scared... (but) this is a show with a serial killer and guess what happens to people around serial killers? They die.
"Not only are you gonna die, but you're gonna die in a really messed-up way."

03 May 2012 21:13 GMT | Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China, United States
A blind Chinese activist who sought sanctuary at the US embassy in Beijing after fleeing from house arrest has said he wants to leave his homeland, according to media reports.
Chen Guangchen made a dramatic telephone appeal to come to the United States in a call broadcast live to a US congressional hearing on Thursday.
"I want to come to the US to rest. I have not had a rest in 10 years," Chen said, his comments made on a mobile telephone that was held up to a microphone at the hearing.
"I'm concerned most right now with the safety of my mother and brothers. I really want to know what's going on with them."
News agencies citing the Daily Beast website said Chen wanted to leave China on the plane of Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, who is in Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders.
Chen left the US embassy on Wednesday after US officials said China had offered guarantees about his safety. He was taken to a hospital where he was reunited with his wife and children.
"My fervent hope is that it would be possible for me and my family to leave for the US on Hillary Clinton's plane," Chen said.
Family 'starved'
The activist, who has been receiving treatment for a broken foot sustained during his escape, said US officials had left him alone there with his family, although he said he expected them to stay with him."Gary Locke, Campbell and the others took me to the hospital, but they have all left," he said, referring to US Ambassador Locke and senior diplomat Kurt Campbell.
"By now, they haven't given us dinner yet. My children are starved."
Chen says agreement for safety has not been honoured
Al Jazeera's John Terrett, reporting from Washington, DC, said it was unclear whether the US would allow Chen to leave with Clinton.
He said Beijing was angry with Washington for meddling in its domestic affairs and that it had sought an apology, though there were slim chances the US would apologise.
"This is a diplomatic dog's breakfast ... It's a total mess and it's not at all what the state department was hoping for, and it's overshadowing the annual US-Sino talks taking place today and tomorrow [Friday]," he said.
Our correspondent said US State Department officials had told him they feel they had done everything asked of them by Chen, including allowing him to be reunited with his family and to train as a lawyer at a university of his choice in the US.
In a phone interview with Al Jazeera, Chen, speaking from Beijing, said: "The agreement between the US and China guranteeing my safety has not beeen fully honoured".
Chen described the situation in his house as "very bad", saying authorities have installed seven cameras and that there are police in his home.
"There are lots of people there. They eat at my dining table, use my furniture. The situation isn't good. They also want to install an electric fence," Chen said of his home in Dongshigu Village in Shandong province.
Clinton silent
The activist got in trouble with the Chinese authorities following his criticism of planning officials who he accused of forcing thousands of women to have abortions or be sterilised as part of China's one-child policy.
Meanwhile, during talks in Beijing, Clinton pressed China on human rights but avoided mention of Chen, focusing on North Korea and Iran.
She said the US hoped China would help rein in the nuclear activities of Pyongyang and Tehran, and pressure the Syrian government to halt violence.
"On Iran, the United States and China share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon," Clinton told US and Chinese officials gathered in the Chinese capital. "It is critical that we keep the pressure on Iran to meet its international obligations, negotiate seriously, and prove that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes," she said.

I can't even fathom,
What you wanted.
My heart is for you,
And you alone.
The one that I care for…
The one that I wish I could love.
For the one that is my dream.
What was it that led you,
To my doorstep,
And to my heart.
You've taken over my mind,
And now your all I think about.
You were a friend,
Not what are you?
I have no clue,
But I love the direction,
That my life is going now.
If only I could hold you now,
And know your real.
It feels like a dream,
That is so surreal…
That such an event,
Could happen to me.
Such a girl like you,
Is actually real,
And not a figment,
Of my imagination.
Should I say love,
Or should I friendship…?
And if I not say love,
Will that be it…?
… then I wake up and realize,
It's real……
I love you.

"I AM EVERY WOMAN" Campaign (Part One) by Yaya Dacosta.
One of my favorite things about Whitney is how she embraced and encouraged other women, urging us to love one another, appreciate one another, and see each other as reflections of ourselves.
One example of this is her music video for the song "I'm Every Woman". In the movie "Whitney", I perform this song , and without giving too much away, it was the scene I had the most fun shooting, and it included multiple wardrobe changes.
We thought it would be fitting to pay homage to some of the great women of the world, past and present, by literally becoming "every woman" even if just for a moment.
We teamed up with celebrity photographer, Jonathan Mannion, to capture 8 of these moments in pictures, which will be released each day leading up to the release of the movie (Saturday, January 17th).
To include all of the amazing women who have influenced and inspired me…would take a lifetime (no pun intended). The images to come are only a few of these women, alongside my copycat version of them.

Ebooks for Libraries
- I want to help authors get their ebooks into libraries.
- I want to help libraries acquire indie ebooks.
- To do this, I started a business called EAF – EbooksAreForever.com.
- I want to sell your ebooks to libraries.
What's going on with libraries and ebooks?
There are 120,000 libraries in the US. These libraries, and their patrons, are eager for popular ebooks. Many libraries have a budget they must spend, or they risk having that budget cut.
Currently, libraries have no allies in the ebook market. They aren't happy with the restrictions and costs of the current leader in supplying libraries with ebook content, Overdrive. Through Overdrive, many publishers charge high prices for ebooks, some higher than $80 a title. They also require yearly license renewals, and may force libraries to re-buy licenses after a certain arbitrary number of borrows.
Just one example of the perils of this approach for America's libraries is that a library must pay for extensions of time-limited licenses of old ebooks and purchases of licenses for new ones. All kinds of sustainability and predictability issues aris
. . . .
Some indies are on Overdrive and 3M. I've been on Overdrive for a few years. My last quarterly check was about $60, and I have a large catalog. This is small money, not just for me, but for any writer. And I was fortunate enough to have been invited into Overdrive. Many authors are not.
The vast majority of libraries don't have access to many of the ebooks that readers are seeking. The latest AuthorEarnings.com report showed that 33% of all ebooks sold on Amazon are from indie authors. Libraries are missing out on 1/3 of available titles, because they have no way easy way to acquire them.
Just as important, these are quality titles. People are reading, enjoying, and recommending them. Indie authors are hooking readers, and selling as well as the major publishing houses, but there isn't a way for libraries to offer them to their patrons.
. . . .
For the past year, my business partner, August Wainwright, and I have been talking to acquisitions librarians across the country, and they crave an alternative to the status quo. These libraries are looking to buy thousands of ebooks at once in order to best serve their patrons and community.
Their main wish is to be treated fairly – which means they want to own the ebooks they purchase, acquire good content at a reasonable price, and have access to as many copies as they need.
Our solution? Give libraries what they're asking for, and in a way that gives libraries the sustainable purchasing model they deserve. We're striving to offer a large, curated collection of popular ebooks that libraries can easily purchase with just one click.
. . . .
EbooksAreForever distributes to libraries at $7.99 for full length novels, and $3.99-$4.99 for shorter works. We're offering 70% royalties to the author, and the library will have the ability to purchase more copies as needed.
The way this works is that if a library wants to allow 3 patrons to borrow your ebook at any given time, they'd need to have purchased 3 "copies". Most libraries adhere to a strict hold ratio (usually around 3:1) in order to present patrons with the best user experience possible. Our hope is that by making ebooks both affordable and sustainable, then libraries in response will automatically purchase more copies.
So, if you have a catalog of 10 ebooks that we then distribute to 1000 libraries, you've just earned $56,000 in royalties from making your books available to the library marketplace if they each buy one copy. If your titles are popular, they'll buy more copies and you'll earn more.

Part dry shampoo, part texturizer, this genius invention controls oils in dirty hair and gives clean but blah tresses instant lift. It makes everything more fun, from blowouts to messy updos.
This is expensive for a reason... it rocks. The product is just amazing and definitely works as both a dry shampoo and texturizer. It comes out of the bottle with force and transforms your hairstyle. I've went through the bumble dryspun and this is certainly better in performance and value. Once you buy this you won't go back to anything else.5
I LOVE this product. Not only does is dry quickly, but it leaves you with extra volume. I have long fine hair so it can go flat in an instant especially with lots of product. This spray has the opposite effect - spray, let it dry, comb through. Before Oribe I washed my hair everyday, now I can go 2-3 days. It is fantastic.5
I have about 5 bottles of this spray for every purse. IT SMELLS SO GOOD I would use it as a perfume if I could!!! I use this on my hair daily. I wash my hair about twice a week, (because I have hair extensions) and it makes my hair look like I just washed it. Every time I use it, I get so many compliments on my hair. It does not leave any white residue like many dry shampoos do. It just makes my hair feel so fresh and re-energized.5

Beverly Hills, 90210 actress Shannen Doherty married photographer Kurt Iswarienko on Saturday, reports People.  Doherty, 40, and Iswarienko, 37, were married on a private hillside estate in Malibu.   Doherty has been married twice before, to actor Ashley Hamilton and Paris Hilton sex-tape costar Rick Salomon.  "Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it's not something I'd ever go into lightly anymore," said the actress in an interview last year.  "I've learned my lesson."
How can you increase your chances for a successful marriage?
Cupid's Advice:
The divorce rate has skyrocketed in recent years, and the percentage of marriages that end in divorce is only increasing as time goes on.  Here are a few ways to make sure that you and your partner last:
1. Have similiar goals: Before tying the knot, make sure that you and your partner have similar goals.  You may be perfect for each other now, but in 10 years you may not be.  Make sure that you both wish for similar things in life.
2. Be forgiving: Everybody makes mistakes, and your partner is no different.  Every marriage has its ups and downs, and you will have to be forgiving in order to make the marriage last.
3. Think it through: If you love your partner but are unsure about marriage, it's okay to take the relationship slow.  Don't feel pressured into a marriage.  Take your time, and be completely confident in your decision before tying the knot.
How do you keep your marriage healthy?  Feel free to share your experience in a comment below!
