It was a wonderful surprise to see the Boston Boys series reviewed on Prism Book Alliance. It received 4.5 stars and the review was for the series as a whole as well as each individual book. Here's a little quote:
"This series has a theme for everyone, characters you just want to hug and protect from the world, and age appropriate dialogue and prose. Each story in the series can stand alone, but as with most series, you get a richer experience if you read them together.
Throughout the series, we watch the power of friendship help heal heartbreak, protect fragile hearts, and guide friends to love."
Thank you Brandilyn ^.^
By the way, Prism Books is having a fantastic contest throughout 2015. This is what they say on their site: "One random commenter will win a $25 gift certificate each month in 2015." That's for the site as a whole - not just this review.

Jamie Lynn Miller: Romance Among the Stars
I have a guest today! I've been marathon-watching Stargate Atlantis (for the third time...), and appropriately have Jamie Lynn Miller here to talk about her latest M/M sci-fi release: An Endless Sea of Stars.
Let's start with some questions:
Is there, or has there been, a person in your life you dreaded telling about writing M/M romance?
My husband. It was four years after we got married that I started writing gay fiction (I'd previously been writing m/f). Telling my husband that I wrote male/male stories was one of the most awkward and difficult conversations I've ever had in my life! At least on my part! Turns out I'd worked myself up for nothing. Bless his heart, he took the news without even blinking and has been my biggest supporter ever since my first book was published in 2008. Like he said, it's perfectly acceptable for a man to get turned on by watching two women together, why should it be any different for a woman and two men? Smart man, my husband.
If you could live a day in your favorite film of all time, knowing to come out of the experience alive and well no matter the genre of the movie, would you?
Yes, absolutely! And the movie would be Star Wars, hands down. I'd give anything to either wield a lightsaber or fly an X-Wing!
Have you studied anything that you consider backs you up as a writer?
Yes, actually, I have. I've been interested in law enforcement since I was a kid and over the last several years I've taken more than 72 weeks of citizen police and fire academy classes. I used my knowledge to write Memory's Prisoner, Burnin' for You and Out of the Shadows.
Almost everyone has a quote that has stuck with them for a long time. Do you have one?
"To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life" - W. Somerset Maugham
This was on a bookmark I found inside a hardcover book I bought at a used bookstore. I couldn't believe how appropriate it was. I've always escaped into a book when things got tough, from when I was a kid. I think it's why I ended up becoming a writer.
Do you believe in the supernatural? If so, what kind, i.e. UFOs, ghosts, rebirth, poltergeist?
Yes, absolutely! I believe in ghosts, aliens and reincarnation.
What's the best fortune you've ever gotten in a fortune cookie?
Honest to God, about five years ago I got one that read "You will become an accomplished writer". I nearly fell out of my chair! I immediately taped it to my computer monitor where it still is today, inspiring me every day.
You can only watch one TV show for the rest of your life. What show is it? Why?
That would have to be The X-Files, hands down. I loved every aspect of that show, from the aliens to the creature of the week to Mulder and Scully's amazing relationship.
Could you just stop writing, for the rest of your life?
Good lord, no! There are way too many stories locked up inside my head and I don't see myself running out of ideas. Ever.
You're going to end up on a desert island, all alone except a couple from one of your published stories. You get to choose, but keep in mind you'd probably end up witnessing them trying to kill boredom with sex. A lot. Which couple would you choose, and why?
I think I'd pick Cade and Toby from An Endless Sea of Stars. They're both quite comfortable being in and around water. So I'd get to watch them walk around in just their underwear (or nothing at all!) and frolic in the ocean. No way could I ever get bored!
Writing summaries and blurbs, love it or hate it?
Hate it! LOL! Writing a 50,000 word story is easier than having to try and condense the whole thing down to a couple of sentences.
Well, thanks for that. I haven't had the internet since I moved houses, so I've been watching TV series while I've unpacked. Among those were Firefly (and Serenity) and Stargate Atlantis. I also watched Star Wars as a child and they certainly made an impact on me. Those who know me know I'm a sucker for sci-fi. So, here's the guest post:
Many thanks to Erica for having me here today to talk about my new novella, An Endless Sea of Stars. I've been a sci-fi fan since 1977, the year that a little film called Star Wars hit the movie screens. I was only six years old back then. While my friends wanted to go see Bambi I was begging my dad to take me to Star Wars. My mother thought I was nuts and refused to go, saying my dad was just wasting his money because I wouldn't understand the movie. Seven days later and seven consecutive trips to the movies with my dad and she had to admit she'd made a mistake. :-)
To this day Star Wars remains a big part of my life. My home is filled with about a thousand pieces of memorabilia and photos of myself with many of the actors. I also love shows like the original Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Buck Rogers, Babylon 5, Fringe, Doctor Who and Alien Nation. I also read sci-fi novels voraciously.
So why it's taken me to this day to write my first m/m sci-fi novella I have no idea! LOL! But inspiration finally hit and An Endless Sea of Stars was born.
This is Book One of the Genesis Project series, which follows the lives of a test pilot and an engineer as Earth strives to build a starship that will take them beyond the Milky Way and into deep space. My friend Gina calls the book a "futuristic romance" and I love that description. While it has sci-fi elements to it, the story takes place entirely on Earth with its focus on the love story between Toby and Cade.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
The year is 2121. While Earth has conquered exploration of the Milky Way, we have yet to develop an interstellar engine to take us beyond our own galaxy. Thus the Intergalactic Exploration Alliance and the Gemini Project were formed.
Lieutenant Tobias Dekker is fresh out of the IEA academy and determined to be assigned to the Gemini engineering team. Putting career above all else. He knows from experience that relationships have no place in the Alliance. Commander Caden Flynn is equally determined to see the Gemini prototype take flight to uncharted space. The engine is his late father's design and he wants nothing more than to be the test pilot that breaks the next light speed barrier.
Two men dreaming of a sea of stars find that it's instead an ocean here on Earth that brings them together. Can Cade convince Toby to open up his heart and take a chance on love and explore the universe with him, side by side?
Toby rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Anyone ever tell you you're a smartass?"
At that Cade finally let loose with his suppressed laughter. "I had you going there, though, didn't I?" he smirked.
Toby waved his hand in dismissal. "Yeah, yeah. I'll have you know that's never happened to me before. I would've gotten us outta there. I just needed another minute…or two," he finished with an embarrassed grin.
"You know, I really should report this to Hank," Cade quipped as he finished removing his wetsuit. "But!" he held up his hand before Toby could say anything. "We can forget about the entire thing if…" he trailed off for a second and rummaged in his duffle bag, pulling out a bottle of Kentucky bourbon and showing it to Toby. "…you have a drink with me." He shrugged one of his shoulders. "Since I couldn't get you to a bar with me I thought I'd bring the bar to you."
Toby paused. Alone, in the dark, sharing a few drinks. This wasn't a good idea. He should politely decline and say they needed to start heading back. But his mouth was apparently not listening to his brain, because before he could stop himself…
A very pleased smile crossed Cade's face and he reached over and squeezed Toby's bare shoulder before turning back to the duffel bag and producing two plastic cups. A few minutes later they had donned their t-shirts and shorts and were relaxing on the bow, sitting close enough that their shoulders were almost touching. The clouds had dissipated, revealing millions of stars twinkling in the clear sky and a full moon reflecting on the water.
Cade took a swallow of bourbon and turned his head toward Toby. "I can't get over what an amazing feeling it was, being down in those caves tonight."
Toby took a drink as well. "Been through those caves 'bout a hundred times. But like I said earlier, there's something different every time. It never gets boring."
Cade looked up toward the sky. "It's like being out in the stars. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it."
Toby couldn't help his wistful, and envious, sigh. "Closest I'm probably ever gonna get to the stars is in one of the flight simulators."
"From what I hear you've made some fabulous improvements to those simulators," Cade said. "I wish I'd had you building and programming them when I was in flight school."
Toby turned to look at him. "How did you know I was on the simulator team?"
Cade shrugged, took another drink. "After we met I took the liberty of looking into your Academy history." He grinned. "I was curious as to who was going to be teaching me." Cade shifted so that he was turned more fully toward Toby. "And I was damn impressed at what I read. You need to stop selling yourself short when it comes to your dream of working on the Gemini project. You're in the top two percent of your class, Toby. Alliance Command is not going to overlook that when they hand out assignments next month."
Toby shook his head. "Don't you think they'd want someone older, more experienced, working on something as monumentally important as Earth's first hyperdrive engine?"
"Just because you haven't been in space doesn't mean you're not qualified to work on a starship engine. It's about technical expertise, not flight time."
Toby now turned to face Cade, a tinge of excitement in his voice. "Tell me about that. What's it like up there? I've gotta admit that as much as I want to experience it for myself, it makes me kinda nervous, too."
"It's a lot like scuba diving, actually," Cade began, then tipped his head up toward the sky, his voice gone quiet. "Surrounded by an endless sea of stars instead of water. It's beautiful. And so serene. But there's so much more out there to explore than in just our galaxy."
Toby couldn't help but smile at the passion and wonder in Cade's voice. "You said we're close to breaking barrier three?"
Cade nodded and finished off his drink, poured himself another and topped off Toby's. "The engine tests we've been running are really promising. Captain Hoffman's team is burning the midnight oil."
"From what you told me last month it sounds like you are, too."
Cade blew out a breath. "You know how badly you want in the Gemini program? That's how badly I want to pilot that next barrier flight. It's going to come down to myself, Logan Ramsey, Kenji Tran or Padma Singh. And they're all damn good test pilots."
"Well let me give you some sage advice that a friend of mine gave me," Toby said with a grin. "Don't sell yourself short."
Cade gave him a look. "Now who's the smartass?"
Toby just laughed and knocked his cup against Cade's. He settled back to look up at the stars, and Cade did the same. They let the quiet of the open ocean surround them for several minutes, nothing but the sound of gentle waves against the hull.
"Does this place have a name?" Cade asked quietly.
"Not that I know of," Toby answered.
"Then I think we should call it Dekker's Cove." He once again turned his head to look at Toby. "Thanks again for taking me out here. This is your spot and you didn't have to share it with me."
Toby turned his head to look back at Cade, his voice sincere. "I wanted to. I knew you'd appreciate how special it was."
Cade pinned him with a gaze full of hope and desire. "There are a lot of things I'm finding are special down here."
Toby's breath caught in his throat. It would be so damn easy to give in to Cade's flirtations. To say the hell with it and just reach over and touch him. Because Toby knew that's all it would take. One touch. But then what? A summer fling, like they were teenagers away at camp? Toby just wasn't wired like that, for one-time hook ups. Especially with someone like Cade. He knew he'd want more and he knew it'd never work. He just needed to keep reminding himself that it was Cade's friendship that was most important, what he really wanted, was the only thing that would work between them. But it was getting harder and harder to do with each passing day he spent with Cade. His heart was warring with his head. And he honestly didn't know which was going to win.
The moment stretched on between them, Toby knowing Cade was waiting for something from Toby, but he didn't trust himself to speak.
Cade glanced away, then back. "Toby, I…"
And Toby's stomach somersaulted, certain of what Cade was going to say next. He wasn't ready for this…
"…I have to leave tomorrow."
Toby blinked and released a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. "Wh-what?" he stuttered, completely caught off guard by Cade's words, so far from what he had been expecting.
Cade sighed. "I'm needed back at Alliance HQ. I found out this morning but was putting off telling you."
"That – that's okay. I understand," Toby replied, trying to hide his disappointment.
"I even brought a holo vid of a rugby match I was hoping to show you tomorrow," Cade grinned and Toby chuckled. "Next month, okay?"
Toby nodded. "Next month."
Next month. One last chance for Toby to sort out his feelings for Cade. And be able to live with that decision with no regrets. He had a sneaking suspicion that was going to be easier said than done.

The Super Couple Rockers of Black Hurricane
Today is the day you can play Hangman at The Romance Reviews's Fall Into Love event. I believe my question will be up again during September, so you should be able to answer it a few times to get points for the fun cover matching game. There will only be one question to answer, though, and that is:
What super couple name has the media given the two main characters of Black Hurricane?
Really, you're not supposed to know the answer when you play Hangman, - that's the whole fun of Hangman - but if you need a clue, you can find the answer in this excerpt:
The sun beams down on the black car that stops outside my door at noon two days later. Ally rolls down the window and tells me to hop in. Dean's not in the car and for a moment I worry that Ally might be working on some scheme concocted by Lee to get rid of me. Crazier things have happened.

"We'll meet up with Dean later," she explains as she shifts the car in gear. "Need to ditch the paparazzi first. Buckle up."
I fasten the seat belt as soon as she starts driving. Christ. Maybe this is a plot to kill me after all. I close my eyes while she zooms between lanes to give photographers a run for their money.
The paparazzi have been hounding my place ever since that YouTube video and tripled in numbers after the concert. They're part of the reason why I've been hanging out in my loft so much these days. They've even started bugging my friends. Eric came by late last night and shoved a glossy magazine in my face with a picture of him in some awkward position while getting out of Alex's car with his arms full of take-out. His name was even mentioned, as was his Glitter Guys Magazine. They dug it up, somehow, 'cause I know Eric didn't tell them. Knowing him, he would have posed if he'd known they were snapping pictures.
"I take it we're not going to the house?" I say to Ally. With a gasp, I grab the handlebar to keep myself steady as she takes a sharp turn.
"Nope, he has something else planned," she says and grins at me.
"Eyes on the road, please!"
Ally laughs and turns back to the road. "It's so cool you guys are together. Talk about a hot couple. We've been trying to come up with a super-couple name for you, but it's not easy since you both have short names. Dazz, maybe? McJazz? JazzQueen? Jazdean?"
"JazzQueen and Jazdean?" I scoff. "Makes us sound like girls."
Ally snickers. "The media's sort of already decided on Jazdean. Probably a gibe because you guys are gay. Dean didn't sound too happy about it, so us groupies have been thinking Dazz. Much cooler, right?"
"Still sounds gay. Dazz for 'Dazzle'? But whatever, it's way too early for a super-couple name. Technically, we've only been together for two days," I mutter while I check the mirror for any chasers.
"Not according to the media."
She zooms past Chinatown and through South Boston. Even though there's no sign of the paparazzi she keeps driving like a maniac, taking extra ramps only to get back on the road southward. Damn lucky there are no cops around. By the time she stops in an empty parking lot in Dorchester, it feels like my heart got left behind somewhere on Columbia Road where she dove between two trucks.
An old rust bucket of a pickup with tinted windows and peeling red paint sidles up next to us.
"He's in there?" I point at the vehicle that seems like it's about to run on its last mile. I don't want to believe that Ally's in on Lee's evil plot, but why would Dean drive a truck like that with all the money he's got? This looks more like something within Lee's budget.
"Yeah." She gives me a small finger wave. "See you at the party tonight?"
"Well, it's more like a get-together. Maxime thought it would be a good idea to throw one, since there are still ten days until the next concert. You know, let loose a little. But Yin didn't want a bunch of people passed out around the house, so they're only inviting a few. I think Yin's already called all your buddies. There'll only be a couple of other people."
"Right…" I take another look at the beat-up truck.
"Well, go on. He's been planning this since yesterday. I've been following the band for a whole year now and I've never seen him this excited about anyone. So romantic."
"Right," I repeat a little softer. My heart finally catches up with us at her words.
Taking a deep breath, I open the door and close it with a resounding snap. It only takes three steps for me to reach the handle of the junkyard truck. Who will I find behind the steering wheel? Lee with a gun or Dean with long stemmed roses?
Black Hurricane is available from most online retailers, including: MLR Press, All Romance eBooks, Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and Kobo.

Budget push-mowers. Is there a difference?
I'm looking at a few different mowers to get because I have a 2-in-1 Yard-Man, Model 503, with a Tecumseh LEV 90-120 engine that just cannot get the job done. It's going to die or clump badly no matter what and it takes me a good hour to 1.5 hours to do just over 5,000 sq ft. I have to take baby steps to prevent it from choking/dying. I've been religious with the recommended maintenance, cleaning, and replacing of filters, blades, spark plugs, etc.
So, I am going to upgrade to a 3-in-1 push mower. I don't need self-propelled and actually enjoy the exercise of the push. I don't have a set price range, but I think that over $350 is really going to push the budget. So, that's pretty much ruled out the Lawn-Boy, Snapper, and Toro. I've been reading here and looking around and wonder what you thought of these 3-in-1 mowers:
Troy-Bilt TB542 ($239 @ Lowes) -
PROS: 160 CC GCV Honda engine, rolled steel deck, high wheels, big 2.3 cu ft bag
CONS: MTD like Yard-Man
Cub Cadet CC500 ($229 @ Home Depot) -
PROS: rolled deck, ball-bearing wheels, cyclo-cut system, single-level height adjustment, 173 CC OHV Chinese Engine (can't figure the brand out exactly) (6.75 ft/lb torque)
CONS: 1.9 cu ft bag, small wheels, 19" cutting width!
Craftsman 38813 ($219 @ Sears) -
PROS: high wheels, 190 CC B&S Engine (6.75 ft/lb torque), 1.9 cu ft bag
CONS: side-valve engine
My main concern is that the engine is powerful enough to mulch without dying. I will bag occasionally if the lawn gets unruly. I ruled out all Tecumseh engines, but which one of the three here is most powerful? The Honda is rated lower (5.5 HP), but from what I've read B&S lies on their ratings. Is the Honda engine actually more powerful? Or is the Cub Cadet mystery engine the way to go?
Any thoughts, or a different recommendation for me? Thanks!
All the three in one gives you is a side discharge if you do not want to bag or mulch. It will not improve performance.
Make sure the engine is running at the proper speed with a tach. I have been finding engines running 200-300 rpm too slow out of the box. A local shop might check and adjust it for you for a nominal fee.
Is your grass thick or wet? How much are you taking off? All the mowers you are looking at should so a decent job under favorable conditions.
My 2-in-1 is mulch or side discharge. No bag. :( I probably wouldn't need a new mower if I could bag.
The mower I have is a few years old. It may be running too slow, or some part could be going bad. I don't know enough about engines to do anything without taking it in. The grass is thick because I've been good about fertilizing, seeding, aerating, etc. I have the mower set to maximum height of 3.5" and tend to mow every 6 days, sometimes 5. The grass grows fast though, and can be 2" to cut off. I wait for it to get dry, but it still struggles even after 5 days of no rain and hot sun. Thanks for the help.
Since you seem to be cutting high enough that the grass can side discharge or spray out from under the mower, here are some suggestions that will work for your current mower or even a new one.
Most cheap mowers have cheap shallow decks that can allow quick grass buildup underneath which will effect air flow.
Buy bigger wheels. A lot of the cheaper fixed axle mowers come with 6" wheels. If you get 7" or 7.5" wheels, that will give you slightly higher clearance with more room for the grass to blow out from the discharge chute or out from under the mower.
Get yourself some generic high lift blades. The high lift blades cause more air flow which should help by giving you more force to throw the grass out.
Buy a Snapper PUSH model 21" mower that uses the same deck as their self-propelled units. The shape of their deck creates fantastic air flow and I think all of their blades are high lift.
Good luck!
The first comment about the rpm speed might be the clue. On the inexpensive mowers it's so easy to bump into a pine tree branch and bend the thin metal tab which controls engine speed. I've seen many knocked down 500 rpm or more just by hitting a branch.
I have an issue...I want a good little push mower that the wife and I can trim the yard with. Our local dealers (only have two) carry Troybuilt (says he has to to compete with our only two stores Wally world and Lowes, and the other carries Husqvarna. The Husky dealer has the 7021p for $260.00 and says it is a real good mower.
Everyone seems "commercial crazy" and that is way overkill for my needs and my budget. So...is the Husqvarna 7021p a good mower or not? I can get Honda, John Deere, and Troybuilt at Lowes, also Brute and Yardman at Wally world. Not a great selection, other dealers are at least an hour away.

Arfi Winery Gabriel Merlot 2011
Arfi Winery - Israel
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Today, Merlot is generally believed to be one of the most popular and widely planted grape varietals in the world, with expert estimates putting it just behind Cabernet Sauvignon in the top three most planted vines. Ask any winery anywhere between France and Argentina, and they'll tell you it is due to the grapes reliability, fantastic range of flavors and unique properties. Single variety Merlot wines are especially popular with companies wishing to target newcomers to the world of red wine, due to the fact that as Merlot has a low tannin content, and relatively little malic acid, the wines it produces are fleshy, well rounded and firmly in the 'medium body' category. This essentially means that they are extremely drinkable, full of lovely jammy fruit flavors and rich, pleasing aromas. That isn't to say that Merlot is only for beginners, though, as this grape is also one of the key varietals for producing some of the most highly respected, complex and perfectly balanced wines in the world.
For thousands of years, Israel has been an important country for wine production, with major wine regions growing thousands of acres of grapevines in the hot Mediterranean climate. The land itself is ideal for wine production, and has a mineral rich limestone based soil which helps ensure the grapes grow to full ripeness. Many of the vineyards of Israel are located at high altitudes, such as the popular and successful vineyards of Golan Heights in the Galil region, where the cooler temperatures and strong breezes create an ideal environment in which the imported French grape varietals can grow. Indeed, French grape varietals make up for the vast majority of grapes grown in Israel, with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes growing in all five wine regions of the country.

a quiet conversation
stars on the ceiling
mesmerizes the baby
until sleep arrives
Centrifugal force
Would spin us away from Earth
But for gravity
Morning stars so bright
A gift from so far away
That moment is gone
starry lights shine bright
illuminating our souls deep
a lamp to our feet
We have trained our hearts
To see a million things
Shine out from the stars
stars dance in darkness
light up the sky with sparkles
bringing hope and joy
stars shining brightly
diamonds in the dark night sky
small pinpricks of life
Delightful twinkling
Nestled in the midnight sky
Lift our conscious thoughts
Stars shining in the sky
Storms on the horizon
Wind blowing through the trees
Cloud bank rolling in
Eve's shooting stars been obscured
Wish came true with you
full moons night sky dance
orions belt warms our chilled eyes
stargazing with you
Celestial spheres...
marvels of the cosmos but
marbles for the Gods.
Eyes up in the sky,
glowing, watching eyes of light;
Such are Heaven's stars.
twilight's serenade
finding ears on heaven's face…
blazoned by wishes
non traditional haiku
If only broken stars could fulfill any dreams,
They wouldn't have got broken
In the first place!
he came in the dark hours
it was a love shower
as the boat
every would say
A cold white blanket
Underneath a sparkling black sky,
As moonlight shines.
Stares in the sky shine so bright
Bring before us our futures
May we receive your powers?
To guide us through life
We have trained our hearts
To see a million things
Shine out from the stars
Anything you can dream of
You just have to imagine
we are here as elsewhere
in the subjunctive of souls
in the verb to love
in the déjà vu
in the art nude
without silent
without noise
Stars light up the sky,
as the stars twinkle and shine.
The pain invades her,
look up and say a prayer,
feeling the stars in her heart.
There once was a whole bunch of clouds
Clouds are not very loud
If you fly through them in a plane
They feel no pain
That's why they're clouds
Located where, is Heaven, on these maps?
Cleverly hidden in Epitaphs?
Perchance in Stars seen from afar-
Or buried with Captain Cook, perhaps?

Avalanche finished 2013-14 with plenty to be happy about
Aug 7, 2014, 10:57 PM EDT
Colorado's playoff run was short-lived thanks to the Minnesota Wild, but it's hard to look at the Avalanche's 2013-14 campaign as anything but a success.
In the lockout shortened season, the Avalanche finished with their worst record from a points percentage perspective since they moved to Colorado and they followed it up with the second best regular season in their franchise's history. They gave fans a reason to be excited again, with past heroes Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy shaping and coaching the team respectively, and youngsters Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and Matt Duchene leading the charge on the ice.
From the beginning of the season, Roy pushed the underdog Avalanche to ask themselves the question, "Why not us?" With that mentality, they took an early season hot streak and developed it into a 52-22-8 record.
The new sense of hope was contagious as that combined with the on-ice results led to a spike in fans attendance from 15,445 per game in 2013 to 16,296 in 2013-14, according to the hockey database.
The team had been dealing with attendance problems for years. Part of the issue, as Denver Post report Adrian Dater argued years ago, was that the team lacked identity and direction.
That doesn't seem to be the case anymore, but then, we've only been through one season of the new Sakic/Roy-era. There's an argument to be made that the Avalanche might have been playing above their heads and were leaning too heavily on Semyon Varlamov, who they need to hope has another spectacular season after breaking out in 2013-14.
The silver lining is that while a regression is certainly possible, given the overall youth of the team, it wouldn't be devastating. Perhaps they won't do as well in 2014-15 compared to last season, but they have a core in place that could be fun to watch for years to come.

Hard not to like what you see here. They've got great young talent up front, a solid veteran presence and a pretty good goalie. Defense is obviously a question mark but we have drafted d-man high the last couple years and within our system we have a group of solid young guys who we just need to be patient with and let them develop. If Duchene can stay healthy and play like he did last year we've got an absolute stud to build around. If Landeskog keeps growing as a player and leader he could become a force to be reckoned with. If O'Reilly let's go of the whole contract thing and is happy to be here we have our high end two way player. If MacKinnon takes another step towards stardom (if you haven't watched this kid play yet, you really should), this team could be very, very good. I know, I know, that's a lot of ifs. Don't sleep on that D core either, while obviously nowhere near the best in the league, Eric Johnson played great last year, Tyson Barrie emerged as a top 4 d-man with high end offensive abilities, Nick Holden grabbed a spot in the line up and isn't going to let it go anytime soon I don't think, and Hejda is a capable 2nd pairing guy. They're not going to win 52 games again next year, that's a phenomenal season for any team, but they'll be a better team overall I think, and much tougher to play against. They will definitely be in the hunt for a playoff spot come April in a very tough western conference.

Let me speak for Joey and Blomfeld.
Joey: "Ovechkin is a the worst player in the NHL. Who cares if he finished first in scoring last year? I'm just gonna repeat myself over and over and continue to be oblivious to the skills and assets this guy brings to a team. Am I right blomdfeld?"
Blomdfeld: "Thats right joey. I'm an idiot."
- paulerhythm - Aug 8, 2014 at 8:00 AM
Fun team to watch, that's for sure. They'll come back down a little but, I think they can reach the playoffs again. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, being in the tough Central Division…

"15,445 per game in 2013 to 16,296 in 2013-14″ is considered a "spike" in attendance? 851 more fannies in the seats is a "spike"? I mean, good for them, but…

Luxor H. Wilson Mobile Whiteboard Assembly
When attaching the nut to the bolt, make sure to put the widest section of the nut against the washer, and the part with the rubber gasket away from the bolt head. Use the same approach to fasten the bolt to the hole at the bottom of the support as well. For use of assembly and to tighten the nuts, it's recommended to use two wrenches. Use the same approach to fasten the bolts, washers, and nuts to the other side. Depending on the model purchased, you might have to pre-assemble the tray to the center section with the sheet metal screws provided according to the instruction sheet. Next, locate the center section that includes the tray and your spring release and locking ring. Attach the locking ring to the hole that's been pre-drilled into the underside of the spring release.
Take the center tray with the spring release that's been attached, and line it up with the middle of the pre-built unit. Line up the holes and again use the short bolt, large washer, and locking nut to begin assembling your component. It's recommended that you fasten the top section on one side and then the top section on the other before assembling the bolts, washers, and nuts. Depending on the model you purchase, you might have to preassemble the components of the knob according to the instruction sheet. Slide the knob through the hole on the top of the vertical support, line up the slip nut and small washer with the hole of the threaded insert that's been pre-attached to the side of the whiteboard. Once you've lined up the components, turn the knob clockwise, screwing it through the assembly into the side of the whiteboard. Carefully remove the plastic protective cover from the front surface of the whiteboard. Once the whiteboard's been assembled you can test the spring release by pulling down on the ring. Your mobile whiteboard by Luxor is now ready for use.

CEI Today: Soviet Union anniversary, an EPA takeover, Obama's major regulations, illegal volunteering, and more
Nov. 21, 2014, Fairfax, Va.—Nathan Mehrens, President of Americans for Limited Government today issued the following statement in the wake of President Obama's announced illegal alien amnesty plan:
"Last night's pronouncement by President Barack Obama that he will change our nation's immigration laws with the stroke of his pen sets up a profound constitutional crisis. If Obama is allowed to impose changes in law that Congress has specifically rejected, it sets an irreversible precedent that forever changes the separation of powers between the two branches.
"Congress must immediately return to Washington, D.C., and defund every aspect tonight's announced amnesty. Acquiescence to this constitutional power grab is not an option."

Nov. 21, 2014, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement responding to the House lawsuit against executive implementation of Obamacare:
"Boehner's tepid lawsuit response to five years of President Obama's executive actions to willy nilly change the law without Congress sadly demonstrates the profound weakness of his leadership. By the time Boehner's lawsuit winds its way through the court system, Obamacare will have been fully implemented. Is it this kind of pathetic response that encourages Obama to continue his effective dissolution of the separation of powers."

"Treating the Internet like a utility won't achieve the president's supposed goal, so why pursue it?"
WASHINGTON D.C. – House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) today released a new video imploring the President not to issue an executive action on immigration, but to instead work together as the American people expect.
The video highlights the President's flip-flop on the issue of executive actions on immigration – using several quotes from the President himself, including "the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order…that's just not the case."
Video Script
President Obama: Everybody agrees that our immigration system is broken. Unfortunately, Washington has allowed the problem to fester.
Speaker Boehner: This is an important issue in our country. It's been kicked around forever. And it needs to be dealt with.
President Obama: I'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress.
Speaker Boehner: The President is threatening to take unilateral action on immigration even though, in the past, he's made clear he didn't believe he had the constitutional responsibility or authority to do that.
President Obama: The notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order…that's just not the case.
That's not how democracy works.
That's not how our constitution was written.
I can't solve this problem by myself.

Title: Failure to thrive of Texas Mountain Laurel in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have an adult (over 25 years?, 20 feet tall?) Mountain Laurel next to my house in Austin. The winter of 2009/10 it lost most of its leaves. It did bloom and leaf out this Spring--not vigorous especially, not on the top. Is it completing its life span indicating I should take it down and replace it? Or, should I give it another year or two to see if it comes back? Possibly resulting from a combination of the drought and extreme 2009 winter weather. I don't see similar specimens in my neighborhood in similar condition. Thank you for your advice.
Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain-laurel) is native to the Austin area, so we can't blame the problems on it being out of its territory. You are absoutely correct that even native plants, well adapted to our uncertain climate, have suffered this past couple of years. However, everything we looked at researching this plant says that its mature height is 10 to 15 ft., but none of the material said how old it was expected to get. Generally speaking, the slower a plant grows, and this one grows very slowly, the longer it will live. So, it would seem your tree is mature, but not necessarily senile, ready to die. The only possible change we can think of that might cause some decline in a tree that well developed is if there has been a change in the drainage. This is a plant accustomed to growing in desert areas and limestone, which is why it is so slow-growing. It needs good watering, especially in Spring and Summer, but also good drainage. If it has not been receiving supplemental watering during the very dry last two years, and now there has been rain, it may have feet standing in water beneath the surface of the soil, especially if you have clay soil.
We certainly would not recommend taking down a mature and apparently healthy tree just yet. Don't fertilize it. Often, that is a knee-jerk reaction when a plant does poorly, to fertilize. A plant under stress should never be fertilized, and with this tree, with the blooming already past for this season, you sure don't want to send a message to inspire new growth. Furthermore, this is a plant that really should never be fertilized, it is so well-adapted to its environment. Make sure it is getting plenty of deep watering, but that the water is draining. If water stands on the plant 30 minutes before it disappears into the soil, you have a heavy clay soil. Try mulching the root area, reducing the amount of water put on the roots each time, but increase the frequency. We would definitely give this tree another year or so, before it was eliminated from your landscape.

Tortpocalypse 2015
Posted by LLDG in Frankie Tortoise Tails, 12 March 2015 - · 140 views
Outside it's finely warm. I've been released from house arrest. I was getting pretty tired being stuck in a bathroom, living inside a cardboard box and surrounded by masses of UPS brown paper. My only form of sustenance has been hay with the occasional carrot to tease me. There they will be payback for this incarceration.

Who's on your side - Elizabeth Warren or Jamie Dimon?
The history of America is the history of "We the People" confronting corporate power and winning. In fact, the whole reason we started this country was because individuals and small businesses wanted to fight back against the dominant corporation of the day, the British East India Company.
Here's a little history lesson you won't see on Fox So-Called News…

An excerpt from my latest Chicago Tribune column:
The calendar might say 2015, but it seemed like 1965 for many women in sports media Thursday.
The sexism that gets mocked in "Mad Men" played out in a regrettable Twitter exchange between WSCR-AM 670′s Dan Bernstein and Matt Spiegel about CSN's Aiyana Cristal. Once again, the latest episode served to underscore the challenges that remain undeniably vivid for women in the business.
It began Wednesday when Spiegel issued a tweet questioning Cristal's broadcast ability while serving as an anchor for "SportsNet Central." Bernstein responded with a tweet making a sexist comment about Cristal's looks. Follow-up tweets by Bernstein only made the situation worse.
Bernstein admitted on air he didn't realize he was in the middle of a blazing social media firestorm until he woke up Thursday morning. Only then did … Continue Reading

At Their Service
Former congressman Allen West still isn't interested in running for office again, but he does want to help others get elected through the Allen West Foundation. "The most important thing is, we want to be able to add a voice for minority and military conservatives – to support inclusiveness," said West, who hopes prospective candidates will benefit from his experience.

OSLO -- Norwegian Energy Company said that production on the Huntington field will not restart until the operator can ensure that the Floating, Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel at the field is able to operate safely.
The operator on the Huntington field has informed its partners that production at the field will remain shut until issues related to the cargo tank venting system on board the platform has been resolved.
On August 08, 2013 the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE) issued a Prohibition Notice on the duty holder Teekay Petrojarl relating to cargo tank venting activities during low wind conditions on the Voyageur Spirit, which is the FPSO vessel for the Huntington Field in the United Kingdom North Sea.
E.ON E&P United Kingdom, the operator, stopped production completely before HSE had issued its Prohibition Notice.
E.ON E&P is evaluating a production restart dependent on suitable weather conditions, possibly at a reduced rate until the issue with the cargo tank venting system is fully solved.
Prior to the shutdown, Huntington was producing approximately 24,000 bopd. Commissioning of the gas compression system is expected to be completed by the end of next week. It is Noreco's understanding that production could resume next week. A permanent solution is currently scheduled for completion in late August.
Svein Arild Killingland, MD of Noreco, says: "Noreco is now in the unfortunate situation that production from all fields in which we have an interest have been shut down."
The working interests in the Huntington field are E.ON E&P United Kingdom 25% operator, Premier Oil 40%, Noreco Oil United Kingdom 20%, and Iona Energy 15%.

This is just a reminder and a request – it's been three months to the day since the dynamic duo of UKIPs Brownhills Councillor Steve Craddock and his best mate and Walsall Conservative former Regeneration head-honcho Adrian Andrew claimed to have brought home the bacon and hammered out some progress on the redevelopment of Ravens Court.

Bridge in Milford Closed for Repairs
By Don Rush
This morning work crews will shut down a bridge along Washington Street over the Mispillion River in Milford through November 30thfor repairs.
The Delaware Department of Transportation is replacing the existing superstructure with steel beams and a concrete deck.
In addition, there will be minor renovations of the roadway approach and sidewalks as well as repair of cracks and spalls in the concrete abutments and placement of riprap in the stream to prevent scour.

Football players date cheerleaders. This is a story as old as time. For example, Florida Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel is dating head Gators cheerleader, Tarin Moses. This makes sense. Even redshirt seniors like Scott Peek get to date cheerleaders. What may shock and surprise you is that Peek is dating a Florida State Seminoles cheerleader named Melissa. At least that is the scoop that College Cheerleader Heaven seems to have unearthed. Peek, who was a walk on out of Tampa in 2008, recorded 2 tackles in his career.

With the next round of workshops just round the corner Gala, Shauna and I decided that a revamp was in order. We're literally never satisfied and are always thinking of things that can be tweaked, improved or built upon with brand Blogcademy.
The original overview we had on the site, while good, lacked some… oomph. We were struggling to put the real essence of the workshop into words and needed help. The three of all are all pretty good writers but it can be really difficult to look at something objectively, especially if you've put so much love and effort into it already. So we called upon copywriter Ash of The Middle Finger Project.
When we got the rework back we were blown away. It had so much power, pizazz and …yeah… oomph! It covers all those things we were trying to say ourselves but couldn't, and totally encapsulates what The Blogcademy is all about.
I can't recommend working with a copywriter, and Ash in particular, enough. If you're struggling to put your ideas into words, you're cringing over writing your about page, or you need some fresh eyes to look over your website copy, they are invaluable. I'm so proud of this rework. It's got me all fired up and I can't wait to do the next workshop in New York this weekend!
Of course I figured you might be interested so the result is pasted below. I'd love to hear from you guys on this one too. Have you ever worked with a copywriter? What results did you see?
Calling all aspiring blog queens and small business owners. The heartfully headstrong, the radically rambunctious. The devilishly demure. The loud ones, the quiet ones, the sweet ones and the vixens. And every single up-and-coming BLOGGING BABE IN BETWEEN.
Whether you've been blogging for forever, or just getting started… THIS IS THE BLOGCADEMY.
Because blogging is no joke, and it's time to take yours to the next level. It's where three A-list bloggers, thirty A-list students, and the magic of in-person collaboration combine.
Enough fooling around.
It's time to make a living with your blog.
And we're coming to your city… TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY HOW.
Contrary to popular belief, blogs aren't just online diaries for stylish mavens in six inch heels; they're an essential tool for anyone who owns a business, wants a business, or wants to do business… Period.
Bloggers are the ultimate "it" girls: They sit front row at fashion week, they launch magazines to wild acclaim, and they are able to make a living in a way that leaves the 9-5 crowd for dead.
There's just one little thing…
It takes strategy. Insight. Technique. And talent.
Because you might be the best at what you do, but if you aren't the best at blogging about it… You don't exist.
And that's precisely why we've created The Blogcademy: to help every single hard-working wonder-woman get the recognition she wants — and the lifestyle she DESERVES. We've only got one go around at this thing called life. We might as well give it EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT — turquoise sequins and 80's dance-offs very much included.

one's own body is called tolerance. It is thought that in conditions such as
rheumatoid arthritis as well as other
autoimmune diseases
, some immune cells that mistake
normal parts of the body for foreign organisms may somehow escape the deletion
process. As a result, later in life they recognize parts of the joint as
something that should be attacked and eliminated. Alternatively, infectious
agents such as viruses may be able to fool the immune system into thinking that
a part of the body is foreign, thus breaking tolerance and leading the immune
system to attack the body instead of the inciting infection. The inclination to
lose tolerance to one's own body is probably determined by the genetics of the
immune system.
To understand why tolerance breaks down in
autoimmune diseases, it is first necessary to understand the process by which
the immune system finds and attacks foreign substances. Within the ranks of the
immune system, there are three primary types of cells that mount the detection
macrophage is the first cell type to act as a sentinel to detect and report
about what it finds in the environment around it. Macrophage means "big eater."
The macrophage is constantly eating up a little bit of whatever surrounds it,
cutting the ingested proteins up into small pieces (the antigens mentioned
above), and then displaying these pieces of protein on its surface.
The macrophage is said to
present these antigens to the T cell, which is the next cell in the chain and
the primary decision maker in the immune process. T cells are highly
specialized. In fact, each of the thousands of T cells within your body is
different from every other one. On their surface, T cells express a protein
called the T cell receptor, which will bind to only one or a few antigens out
of the thousands that are possible. When a macrophage and a T cell encounter
one another, they see whether any of the antigens on the surface of the
macrophage fit into the T cell receptor. Most of the time the antigens don't
fit. But if the antigens do match the T cell receptor, then the cells stick to
one another. Through the action of chemical messengers, the T cell becomes
turned on, or activated.
Activated T cells then call in the last cell in the chain, which is the B
cell. Like T cells, each B cell is unique. Instead of making specific surface
proteins, though, B cells make proteins called
that can be released from the B cell into
the bloodstream where they travel until they bind to the antigen that fits.
After an infecting organism is coated with antibodies, it is tagged for
recognition by the immune cells that destroy foreign substances.
One complication of this system is that the macrophage eats and presents
everything that it encounters, whether friend or foe. So the interaction
between the macrophage and the T cell is an especially critical encounter since
the body needs to ensure that no T cells bind to and become activated in
response to self antigens. There are two safety mechanisms that help to prevent
the activation of T cells by self antigens.
