There. Lots of different stories to choose from. That should keep you busy until Staked comes out January 26! Happy reading!
Zero World
I'm a bit of a Jason Hough fanboy. He just entertains the heck out of me. I loved his Dire Earth Cycle, and ZERO WORLD does it again.
There are science bits! Aliens! An interesting accounting system involving beer! But mostly reading a Jason Hough book is like SKPOW BAM KABLOOIE then whoa wait holy shit dude no augggh BOOM SPLORTCH EEK I can't find my legs what happened to my legs SPAK THUNK CRUNCH hey wait are they gonna kiss now all riiiiight oh but pardon me is that a Death Zeppelin or KRAKA-CHOOM WHUMP SHLIK oh gods it's that thing I told you about! RUN! RUN!
And then it gets really exciting.
I did blurb this a little more professionally than SKPOW BAM KABLOOIE in case you're interested: "One hell of an entertaining read. Hough continues to deliver white-knuckle books anchored by unusual and fascinating characters. Zero World is a giant cup of pure badassery that secures his place among the finest sci-fi action writers today."
But seriously: SKPOW BAM KABLOOIE.
Best thing? You get a Dire Earth novella for free at the end, which will introduce you to his Dire Earth Cycle if you've never checked that out before. Pre-order, my friends—it's out August 18! Hunt the man down and get his signature! Behold: Handy linky-poos!
Amazon Barnes & Noble iTunes Kobo
You can also enter my contest! I have two signed ARCs of ZERO WORLD to give away to US addresses only. Send an email with the subject line ZERO WORLD CONTEST to kevin at kevinhearne dot com, maybe write something awesome in there like SKPOW BAM KABLOOIE, and you're entered. Contest ends Friday. I'll pick two random winners and mail the book!
BUT ALSO I have other books to give away. A hardcover copy of Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey. (I ordered an extra one.) A bunch of slightly damaged copies of my books—nothing wrong with the insides, just slightly bent covers. I'll sign those. Heck, I'll sign Nemesis Games too. Anyway, if you don't win Zero World you might win one of those.
Other great books to look out for/preorder: Lightless by C.A. Higgins and Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen. I read early copies of those too and loved them!
NY surprise visit
Hi NYC! I'm gonna be there this week! Me n' the kid are going to check out some museums and take in a show. I don't really have a new book release out so it's kinda silly for me to try to arrange something formal, but on the other hand I rarely get to New York. Last time was three years ago, I think?
So let's do a Ninja-Meet-n-Greet-and-dump-some-money-on-an-unsuspecting-indie-store. THIS IS A TOTALLY NORMAL THING TO DO.
Here's where: Word Bookstore, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Monday, July 6, at 7 pm. Lots of the stores in the big city have super-duper important events going on already and I don't want to stomp on them. Besides, there are MANY reasons to like Word!
1.) They carry my books.
2.) They have stationery. I'm kind of a stationery geek so I'm going to score some while I'm there. I have pen pals to keep happy.
3.) They ship fabulously. I ordered a signed copy of The Eterna Files by Leanna Renee Hieber from them and it arrived in perfect condition. They obviously love books. I was super impressed.
4.) They like doggies. They have a Word Doggie Tumblr where they feature pictures of customers' dogs. I like doggies too!
5.) They are in Brooklyn and I hear that's where I can observe wild hipsters in their natural habitat.
It would be awesome of you to spread the word about Word on your personal network(s). We might get two whole people there (me and my daughter) or we might have enough to start our very own hootenanny. You never know. We'll see what social media can do. Mostly, I wanna 1) try to see you if you wanna see me and 2) support a spiffy indie store. They might not have a ton of my books in stock because, again, this is a ninja deal—so bring what you want but also see if you can snag something from Word to make their Monday awesome & because they are turbo supportive of authors.
And if y'all can't make it, no worries! I know this is super-short notice. That's how these ninja things go. Just wanted to make myself available since I'll be in town. LOVE AND TACOS, NY!
Covers and deals!
If you somehow missed it, the cover for STAKED, book 8 of the Iron Druid Chronicles, is out there and it's turbo spiffy! As luck would have it, it's also here so you don't have to go far to check it out.
PURTY, right? It's out January 26 and you can pre-order now from wherever you dig buying your books. (Please do. Besides just spreading the word about a book to your friends, pre-ordering is honestly the best thing you can do for an author you'd like to see write more stuff. Doesn't matter what format, it's all good. If you don't have an indie bookstore near you, here are some handy-dandy linky-poos to the big ones: Amazon B&N iBooks)
I'll have tour info later on. Phoenix and Denver are for-sure stops! Everything else is still under discussion.
Ready for a smokin' hot deal? I BET YOU ARE. Since Shattered is out now in paperback you can get a hardcover for dirt cheap. A sexy signed one! Fifty percent off when you order from Oberon's Treat Shop and use the coupon code FIFTY at checkout. And the first forty people to buy a hardcover from Oberon will also get a promo code for a free audiobook download of Two Tales of the Iron Druid Chronicles. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! I still have a few of these Oberon posters left. Lookit:
I'd like to get rid of them. So for people who order hardcovers of Shattered I'll throw in a signed poster too until I run out! Let me stress that I only have twenty or so—it's a first-come first-served thing.
Let's see, what else? OH YEAH. I will be places later this year! Salt Lake Comic Con in September and MileHiCon in Denver in October! If you're going to be at either one (or might decide to go soon) I hope to see you there!
A few peeps have asked about the Iron Druid ringtones recorded by Luke Daniels. Those are still coming—I just haven't had time to get to them. Stay tuned for that!
What I'm writing now: A Plague of Giants, the first volume of my epic fantasy trilogy. I'm already more than half finished and I'm excited about getting to the end!
Thank you all for reading. Love & tacos for everyone!
I'm in Australia!
I'm going to Supanova Expo in Sydney June 19-21 and in Perth June 26-28! So excited to meet all you Aussies & Kiwis!
I'll be spending the majority of my time at the Booktopia area, which I'm given to understand is easily located on the venue map thingie. I will have some panels too, of course—see the event programme and then see me there! (Can I just say I love the bonus letters in UK/Aus English? Programme is so much fancier than program and favourite is my favorite.)
Apologies that I won't be visiting other cities. I'll be all business those two weekends of Supanova, but in between I'll be hanging out with my family, fraternizing with koalas and quokkas, running from giant spiders, that sort of thing. My mom's wanted to go to Australia since she was wee and now she's finally going. And it's also downtime for me; I just finished writing Staked this morning—I've been writing one thing or another nonstop since New Year's—and I need a break. Not even taking my laptop with me. Bringing lots of books to read, though!
I'm reading two ARCs right now: Lightless by CA Higgins and Trailer Park Fae by Lilith Saintcrow. I also have Of Blood and Honey by Stina Leicht and Corsair by James L. Cambias, and I'm sure I'll pick up additional goodies while at Supanova!
(By the way: Staked will be out Jan. 26. If you haven't read Three Slices yet, that contains an important novella set in between Shattered and Staked—snag it for your Atticus & Oberon fix!)
Elevengeddon and PHXCC
Home fries, I'm going to be amongst some of the biggest storytellin' brains around pretty soon and it makes me ridiculously happy. But I want YOU to be happy too. You should join me. COME TO ELEVENGEDDON.
Elevengeddon started out as a joke name for an event with eleven SF/F authors, but then it kept growing—up to seventeen authors!—and we just kept the name since it got funnier as we went.
The Where and When: The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, AZ, at 7 pm, on Wednesday, May 27.
The Who: omg omg omg this LIST
Naomi Novik! I've never met her before, so. The SQUEE. Her new book, Uprooted, is so damn good and I cannot wait to thank her for the story in person. Y'all should read it. You will love!
Richard Kadrey, author of the NYT bestselling Sandman Slim series! Also a turbo nice guy.
Jason M. Hough, author of The Darwin Elevator and the upcoming Zero World. His books are action-packed thrill rides with SCIENCE and ALIENS
Cherie Priest, who wrote a genius book called Maplecroft and will be debuting I Am Princess X at this event!
Chuck Wendig, Legendary Beard Brother and Coffee Guru and author of the Miriam Black series, among many others! Will he bring the #Facebees? WE SHALL SEE.
Delilah S. Dawson, author of Hit (and much more), utterly hilarious and super smart and I look forward to all her books forever.
Wes Chu, author of the very entertaining Tao series and the upcoming Time Salvager!
Stephen Blackmoore writes one of my absolute favorite series about a necromancer named Eric Carter. You owe it to yourself to start with Dead Things. So good!
Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger, which just got nominated for a Locus Award for Best First Novel! Her sequel, The Clockwork Crown, will be on sale for the first time at this event!
Brian McClellan, another Beard Brother, a lover of cake (well, not carnally), and the author of the epic Powder Mage trilogy!
Brian Staveley! I haven't met Brian or read his work (yet!) but judging by how excited some people are that he's coming I should probably shave and wear pants and everything to give the best first impression I possibly can. I'm kind of nervous.
Andrea Phillips! She'll have her shiny debut novel, Revision, on hand! It got a starred review in Publisher's Weekly! Great stuff you should check out!
Sam Sykes, author of The City Stained Red, a tale rife with monsters and balls-out naked fight scenes, and owner of an adorable pug named Otis who sometimes shits on his floor—adorably, though. That's really the only way to shit on Sam's floor and get away with it.
Myke Cole, author of Gemini Cell and owner of the most famous shower in New York. Seriously: His shower has its own Twitter account. He could be the Most Interesting Man At This Gig and you should buy his books.
Django Wexler! He wrote The Thousand Names! His name is really fun to say! And he plays Warmachine and someday we will face off on the battlefield, his Cygnar troops against my fire priests, and he will most likely destroy me but it'll be fun!
Michael J Martinez, author of The Daedalus Incident, beer aficionado, enchilada enthusiast, and spiffy dude!
And…me. I will be there. Incandescently happy to be in the company of such awesome writers and readers.
Please come see us if you can! Bring or buy books, have us sign 'em, take a selfie, have a great time!
If you can't make it but would like a signed copy of any of the above authors' books, give the Poisoned Pen a call ahead of time! They will get us to sign 'em for you and ship wherever you are—they ship internationally! Their phone number is 480-947-2974.

I hope to see you there! Love & tacos & beer—
Churros are completely fabulous and that is why so many of them are mowed down in their youth, eaten by ravenous predators at taquerias and churro stands worldwide. But a few churros do make it to adulthood, thank goodness, and mature churros—MACHURROS—are every bit as delicious. Maybe even more so. You be the judge.
I first encountered machurros at a party. People took a bite and their eyes rolled up in their heads and their toes curled. There may have been some bucking hips but I won't confirm or deny that was me. They were brought by Keelie, and she says she got the recipe from Amy Pinson, and where Amy got it is A Mystery. But there: I have given credit where it is due, and now I'm gonna break this down for you because I love you and want you to be happy.
Preheat thy oven to 350 degrees. Grab a 9×13 pan and grease that sucker with your cooking spray. Coconut oil spray worked great for me. Roll out 1 can of Crescent Rolls in the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. (They unroll like a poster of dough but with some stitched perforations in there like Frankenstein's monster. Pinch those wee seams together.) Should look a bit like this:
You now have a pond of melted butter. Sprinkle your cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the butter and crescent rolls. It's gonna start looking really good.
Love Letter to Poland
Hi, Poland.
I'm not as well traveled as some. This is my first trip to Europe, after all. But I must say that meeting you was love at first sight. Thank you for being so delightful.
I have a Polish sister-in-law and I also have some friends back in Arizona, Kasia and Leszek, who emigrated from Warsaw about 15 years ago. They introduced me to Żubrowka (a Polish vodka that makes a stunning drink when mixed with apple juice) and gave me my first clue that I would really, really like Poland and its people. And it turned out to be true.
I'm writing this on the train to Berlin and I'm already missing you. Every person I met in Warsaw and Poznań was universally adorable. I'm very grateful to my publisher, Rebis, for bringing me out to visit, and to my readers for coming to see me at Pyrkon!
The first person I must thank is Adrian Tomczyk. Adrian was my translator and guide and language teacher. He's brilliant and classy and seemed to be amused by the crazy American guy who got super excited about fresh pear cider on draught.
Near the end of my stay I was able to start reading some basic Polish—just the really important stuff, like BEER PUDDING. I saw this sign, pointed it out to Adrian, and said, "BEER PUDDING! WE MUST HAVE SOME! IT WILL GIVE US +5 VITALITY!"
It was glorious and worthy of a quest. Plum-flavored pudding cooked in dark beer and garnished with pomegranate seeds. I think I wound up getting +6 vitality from it. And let me go ahead and say that all the food was spectacular, from the pierogies to the sausage-n-tater soup in a bread bowl to the very, very tasty pilsners.
Greg Zielinski was my translator in Warsaw and was also super helpful; he took me to Pole Mokotowskie so that I could take some pictures. Part of Granuaile's story in STAKED will involve the Polish coven and some additional members of the Slavic pantheon that we have not seen thus far, so I took the opportunity to do some location scouting, and when I return to Warsaw on May 7 it will be my mission to scout out where the Polish coven lives (somewhere in the Wawer district, across the Wisła River).
When I got to Pyrkon in Poznań I was surprised by a group of readers who had some astonishingly thoughtful gifts for me. It was very touching. Eternal thanks to Kasia, Anna, Dominika, Magdalena, Bartosz, Martyna, Marysia, Ewelina, Ala, Agnieszka (both of you), Pawel, Krzcyz and Marta! (I hope I didn't forget anyone!) All of you were wonderful and made me feel welcome. I took pictures with everybody but here is one with Ewelina who is, despite her protests, quite skilled at taking goofy selfies. I think she could go pro.
Thanks also to everyone who could not attend Pyrkon but sent cards or gifts along through Kasia! You are awesome!
Also awesome: The people who came to see me for my autograph session at Pyrkon! Thank you all so much for reading and for taking the trouble to come say hello to me! I'm so glad you're enjoying Kroniki Żelaznego Druida!
Oh—and Tomasz in Warsaw was a super spiffy guy. He came by to visit me, gave me some Polish mead, and took me to Paradox Café, where they play board games or RPGs and drink beer. So, you know: Almost all the good things in life. Pretty cool to walk into a place and see a Game of Thrones banner hanging over the bar.
The short version: I love Poland. Thank you again. For lots more pictures, see the albums I posted on my Facebook author page.
If you're in Berlin or near enough to make no difference: I'll be at Otherland Buchhandlung on Tuesday at 8 pm and hope to see you there! I'll be in Prague on May 5 and Brno on May 6! Cheers!
I'm in Europe!
If you are (or know someone who is) in Poland, Germany, or the Czech Republic, then I hope I'll get to see you (or them) while I'm there! Please spread the word, won't you?
Very excited about this trip & grateful to my Polish publisher, Rebis, for getting me over the Atlantic, as well as my German publisher, Klett, and my Czech publisher, Laser, for letting me swing by while I'm in the area.
The big shindig is Pyrkon in Poznań, Poland, and while I think they have me doing something on Friday I'm not sure what it is except happiness. I'm basically going wherever they tell me to go. But! On Saturday, April 25:
10:30 am: They're gonna put me in a big room with a translator to meet readers and take questions, and I am just going to geek out on Slavic myth and how much fun I've been having writing the Polish coven recently in STAKED. Plus tell 'em how much I've enjoyed discovering the poetry of Wisława Szymborska.
12:00 pm: Modern Youth Literature panel! I happen to admire all of these things: Modernity, Youth, Literature. So this sounds excellent!
13:30 pm: I'll be doing an autograph session at the Rebis booth at Pyrkon and asking people to spell their spiffy names for me. I love accent marks and stuff so this is going to be fun.
April 28: Appearance at Otherland Bookshop at 8 pm in Berlin, Germany! I'll have a translator there as well. Address: Bergmannstrasse 25, D- 10961
May 5: Prague, Czech Republic
I'll be at the Municipal Library at 4 pm! Cannot wait to see you, Prague!
May 6: Brno, Czech Republic
I'll be at the Municipal Library there too at the same time, 4 pm!
That gap in between Berlin and Prague? I'll be in Rome, researching goodies for STAKED, and most likely writing like mad in a café somewhere. Because I'm about halfway through the book now and once I put the European pieces together we'll be crankin' up the speed.
While I'm in Prague, THREE SLICES will be released worldwide on ebook and audio! Hope you guys enjoy —it'll get you all set for STAKED!

First some great resources are:
1. http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/electrostatic.html
2. The Boy Electrician - by Alfred P Morgan
3. Homemade Lightening - by R.A. Ford
"The Boy Eectrician" is a collection of a number of projects if you haven't already heard of it - get it. Also "The Boy Mechanic - Vols 1, 2 & 3" are worth every penny for great project ideas. But back to the whimshurst...
Parts List Consists of:
a. Leyden jars - Spaghetti containers from the dollar store. I tossed the plastic caps and turned cherry lids on a lathe and used rubber bands from a roller conveyor to function as a gasket.
b. The lucite rods (3/4" diam) and the plexiglass disks (1/4" think) came from a local plastics supplier.
c. The brass fittings include drawer pulls of solid brass, solid brass rod from hobby store (K&S brand), and misc brass screws and inserts. NOTE: The drawer pulls are lacquered and need to have it removed for electrical continuity. Use a propane torch to burn it off and then scrub them with steel wool.
d. The sectors on the disk are aluminum flashing.
e. The grounding brushes are braided copper wire used for hobby racing slot cars.
f. The belt drives are rubber bands taken from a roller conveyor - these are really grippy and can be tightened up by cutting then melting them back together as they stretch.
Step 1:
Cut the disks as pairs and sand them as perfectly as possible so they rotate smoothly. I cut mine at 18" diameter. It makes a sizeable whimshurst and decent sized sparks. The edges are sanded then polished with fine steel wool.
Layout a scaled sketch of how the sectors will be epoxied onto the disks. The sectors must be an even number and exactly opposite of each other. Sand the surfaces of the sectors so they adhere well to the plexiglass and the exterior surface is very conductive ( no coatings anywhere is a very important theme her to make this work).
The Hubs:
The hubs were turned in a lathe from solid cherry glued up in blocks. I then end bored a 1/2" hole in the center for the brass tube bushing to eventually be inserted and epoxied in each hub. I turned one piece first twice as long as one hub, then cut it in half on a bandsaw so I could ensure equal diameters as possible to make two hubs. The disks each have a notch for which the belt rides in it. The notch depth is not critical to be exact to the other but use a caliper anyway. The disks just need to spin in opposite directions. The hubs ride on an aluminum 1/2" solid shaft (K&S hobby) with NO grease or lube of any kind. I didn't want to risk contaminating any parts with something conductive then try to clean it off. The brass tube sleeve bushing on the aluminum is plenty slick for the low rpms such that a lube is not needed. A screw insert is located at the very top of the vertical shaft supports on each support to keep the shaft from spining with the disks and drilling into the support.
The Pick Up Combs:
You will need to drill a series of 1/16" holes through a brass rod (~ 3/16" diam) in a straight line that is approximately as long as the sector on the disk. To do this precisely as possible, cut a v-block out of a piece of scrap wood to nest the 3/16" rod in it so you can use it as a holder for a drill press to drill the holes. Evenly space the holes (aprox every 1/4") by marking each location by a small notch cut in it with a file. Once all the holes are drilled for BOTH ends of the rod, bend the rod around a piece of pipe to make a tuning fork type of shape.
Make the pick up pins with 1/16" brass stock and solder them into each hole. Then solder in the end extension rod at the base of the tuning fork shape.
Step 2:
Note that each of the leyden jars exterior aluminum foil surface is bonded to a brass strap which in turn is bonded to the other jar. This grounds the two jars exterior to help draw in charge to the internal foil surface. I used a very thin film of rubber cement in the jar then smoothed the foil onto it with a smooth wooden stick. Pre-cut & test fit the foil forst and pre-smooth it before fitting it inside.
Step 3:
The two copper disks demonstrate discharge when a smaill ball bearing is suspended beteeen them (not shown). The ball will pick up cahrge from one plate then become repulsed due to being equally charged, then swing over to the other plate. When it contacts the other plate it drains off the electrons and then swings back to plate one to pick up more charge.
Again, sorry for no construction pictures but go to the references I mentioned and you will see all sorts of great ideas. But I hope you like my project and learned some new trick or idea.
When I was a boy, in the jurassic, I was able to restore a Whimshurst machine belonging to the school where I studied. It had both discs warped, I could straighten them partially. At that time there were not as many materials as now.
HDPE is malleable like you describe.
Maybe try a search on E-bay for the material if you still need it. :)
" Polyethylene was first synthesized by the German chemist Hans Von Pechmann who prepared it by accident in 1898 "
"production beginning in 1939"
The discs were black, heavy and a bit flexible. I think they were not HDPE, but I don't know.

About Utopia in Africa Guest Villa
Utopia in Africa Guest Villa has been designed to ensure peace, comfort and privacy for its guests. Set high above the city of Nelspruit, it benefits from a refreshing climate and is nestled into the edge of a nature reserve, overlooking the canopy of its forest. The architect who designed the thatched villa, which is managed by his wife Patricia, created the concept to embrace both light and space, culminating in a sense of integration with the surrounding wildlife, with open views yet private areas to retreat to. Guests have exclusive use of the villa and are invited to lounge in one of the many indoor or outdoor areas. Utopia's proximity to both the city centre and airport make it a convenient retreat for both the business traveller and the explorer.
The villa is made up of six double bedrooms, most with king-size beds of which three can be turned into twin beds, and en-suite bathrooms. Privacy and comfort is a priority at Utopia. Most of the rooms have their own balconies overlooking the forest below, and a small seating area inside. Each balcony has comfortable seating ensuring you will be able to enjoy private moments with refreshments from your own beverage unit. All bedrooms have been tastefully decorated and named after birds that are commonly found in the area.
The Sunbird and Owl rooms face east, offering views of the sun rising over the hills and nature reserve. The Loerie, Kingfisher and Guinea Fowl rooms face south, which ensures they remain cool even at the height of summer. Our latest room is the Barbet Room which offers views of the nature reserve and city. The Owl, Kingfisher, Barbet and Guinea Fowl rooms are under a high thatched roof, which creates a unique ambience. Single guests are welcome, or guests can rent the whole villa.
Breakfast is served from 07:00 until 09:30 each morning. You can help yourself to a selection of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, jam, cheese and bakery items. In addition, we will also serve a cooked breakfast. Should you require a light breakfast outside of these hours, this can be arranged in advance. Breakfast is served in the dining room or in one of the many seating areas outside overlooking the garden and the green forest beyond.
There are a wide variety of restaurants nearby which we would be happy to recommend; you can even order takeaway to be delivered to the villa if you prefer. Alternatively, we can serve you a light supper, but this must be arranged in advance. We have a fully licensed honesty bar, and tea and coffee is available throughout the day from a central area.
The wildlife, birds and plant life are all truly representative of Africa. The 4600 square metres of indigenous garden is at your disposal and has over forty species of mature trees. A wide variety of birds will call to you from dawn to dusk; it is not unusual to see numerous different species around the garden at any given time. Other daytime guests include monkeys, squirrels, the slender and banded mongoose, colourful reptiles and the occasional glimpse of the klipspringer. Our nocturnal visitors are porcupine, spotted genets, bushbabies, frogs, geckos and night jars or owls.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. Breakfast was good, rooms very clean and wonderful staff - highly recommended!
We only stayed here for one night but Patricia was very welcoming. A beautiful guest house with wonderful views over the nature reserve at the rear. Even a swimming pool for guests. The breakfast was also delicious.
I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend the place to friends
Stopped for a 3 night stay during a business trip with 3 colleagues, the guest house was fabulous and would recommend it to anybody. The hospitality shown by the owner Patricia was first class, and all the facilities you could possibly need are there. Patricia even prepared a food hamper for our visit to The Krugrr Park, and the standard and quantity was wonderful and much appreciated as was everything else.
Beautiful home,beautiful views over a nature reserve. Conveniently situated. Big breakfast, great hospitality from Patricia. A fantastic four day stay.

Jon just got arrested by the quesadilla police
What I actually meant, is I had a quesadilla, and Jon got arrested by the real police
Brought a cooler and a case to a parade. I'm getting dirty looks since it's 10:30. Telling people it's for the troops.
I pulled down his boxers and a 20 dollar bill fell out. I'm telling you, the blowjob fairy EXISTS
lets be honest. she's not NEARLY as much fun to fb creep since she got out of rehab...
i was holding a cup in her face for her to throw up in while screaming THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP
When he goes down on me, he stares me in the eyes like a shark mocking it's prey as it devours it. Plus, his beard smells like dirty gym socks. This has got to end.
She was covered in mud grabbed my crotch and said see that handprint that means I called dibs
Want to get high and go thrifting? I'm trying to succeed making my dorm look like a deranged Applebees.
I'm concerned that this blind man on the bus has a boner right now
He was humming "here comes Peter cottontail" while unbuttoning his pants. Happy Easter to me
The nun costume is coming back hard and it still has glitter and the smell of Vegas on it.
So I'm already mostly naked in a kind of bed but obviously too lazy to take my boots off. It's like January 1st is already here
Dude, I woke up with wet dollar bills in my boxers where did you take me???

The 25 cities with the happiest employees
Glassdoor has assembled a list of the 50 cities in America with the happiest employees, with Salt Lake City ranking 5th, higher than major metropolises such as San Diego, Seattle, and Boston.
The cities were ranked based on satisfaction score from a 5-point scale.
The categories were "employee satisfaction, number of employers hiring, business outlook, career opportunities, and compensation and benefits over the past 12 months." All surveys were "according to local employee feedback," according to the site.
"Denizens of Salt Lake City's businesses are feeling really positive about their prospects in the coming months," Glassdoor wrote. "More than half (52 percent) said business will improve, according to the survey. Utah's unemployment rate has fallen steadily since 2010 and Salt Lake City has actively recruited companies from Goldman Sachs to startups. Of course, the capital city's geography — ringed by rugged mountains, canyons, and its namesake lake — doesn't hurt."
So which cities beat Salt Lake in employee satisfaction? Here we've compiled the top 25 of Glassdoor's cities with the happiest employees.
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Every rating is between 3.0 and 3.5... maybe it's just because of my stats classes but that doesn't look likely that there was much of a statistically significant difference to me for this to be a big deal.

The Lemon Drop Cocktail
Better than candy
Hot enough for you? Yeah, we're tired of talking about the weather, too. So let's just cool off with a drink already.
Fortunately, the Lemon Drop Cocktail should perk us right up. This smooth drink soothes and refreshes on a hot afternoon. It's sweet, but the lemon lends just enough tartness for pre-dinner sipping.
Think of it as your new lemon aid.

BLT Pasta with Goat Cheese
Garden-fresh produce lightens this summery dish
Vine-ripened tomatoes—with their deep, savory flavor—are one of the glories of summer. And they work well in so many dishes.
We particularly like to pair them with bacon and lettuce, as in the classic BLT sandwich. Or BLT Salad.
But sometimes we want a more substantial main course. Something we can serve hot, but that doesn't require too much cooking on sultry summer days.
Enter BLT Pasta with Goat Cheese. This simple dish has restaurant-quality flavor, and cooks in minutes. It's so good we've already added it to our recipe rotation. We bet you'll agree—so get those meal planners revved.

The Cosmopolitan Cocktail
Yeah, we know—but it tastes really good
Is there any drink with more cultural baggage than the Cosmopolitan (aka the Cosmo)? With its girly pink hue—not to mention its status as signature drink on Sex and the City—it seems that no self-respecting cocktail connoisseur would be caught dead drinking it.
Which is too bad, because it's quite a refreshing cocktail. It's great by the pool in the summer heat. Or as a pre-dinner treat.
So if you've never had a Cosmo—and despite its popularity, many people haven't (that baggage thing, you know)—maybe now is the time to give it a try. Because real men (and women) aren't put off by a little snark.

Sautéed Corn with Chilies and Bacon
This quick dish is equally tasty made with fresh or frozen corn
Fresh, local sweet corn—it's one of the glories of mid-summer. But corn also freezes exceptionally well, and what you find in the frozen-food aisle usually has been processed within hours of picking. That means it may have more flavor than "fresh" corn that's actually days old when it hits your grocer's produce department.
Which comes in handy when making a dish like this sautéed corn. It's wonderful with fresh corn, but you won't even notice the difference if you substitute frozen.
With the main ingredient so readily available year round, this tasty dish might become a menu staple: Have it during summer to celebrate fresh corn. And have it again in winter, to remind you that sunny days will soon be here again.

The Cape Codder Cocktail
This summer cooler is a breeze to make
July is here, and North America is set to celebrate. Today (July 1st) is Canada Day. And this Saturday, July 4, is Independence Day in the US.
So this is a busy week, full of cookouts and picnics. And to beat the summer heat, we're all looking for something cool to quench our thirst.
Enter the Cape Codder. Its bright, slightly tart flavor is perfect for those long, hot summer days. And its gorgeous red hue lights up any party. You can even make a nonalcoholic version for those who prefer not to imbibe.
So choose your celebration, and raise a glass.

Hungarian-Style Cold Cherry Soup
Red wine livens up this summer starter
Chilled fruit soups are popular in Central and Eastern Europe. One of the best known is Hungarian meggyleves (Cold Sour Cherry Soup). It's traditionally made from sour cherries, cream, and sweet white wine (in Hungary, that often means Tokaji).
Here in the US, it can be hard to find fresh sour cherries. But sweet Bing cherries are in season now—and abundantly available. So we use them instead of sour cherries in our recipe. And to avoid making the soup too sweet, we replace Tokaji with a drier red wine.
The result? A refreshing summer starter with outstanding flavor. And one that can provide a fun change of pace at your next dinner party—especially since this is a dish that many people are not familiar with.
Your guests are sure to be impressed. So start practicing a modest bow. You'll want to be prepared for their accolades.

El Presidente Cocktail
An aromatic Prohibition-era favorite
El Presidente was named in honor of an early 20th-century president of Cuba. Or maybe two different presidents (more about that in the Notes).
No need to worry about the name, though. What's important to know is that this cocktail has a wonderful "nose," with a slightly sweet flavor. It's crisp and refreshing, a wonderful accompaniment to the savory appetizers you'll be serving at warm-weather festivities.
And speaking of festivities, this Sunday is Father's Day here in the US. Families will be gathering to toast the leader of the clan. So what could be more appropriate than a round of El Presidente Cocktails? Hail to the chief.

DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 08/12/14 -- Parks Associates today announced the preliminary agenda for CONNECTIONS Europe: Monetizing Strategies for the Connected Home, 18-19 November 2014, Mövenpick Hotel, Amsterdam. The two-day executive conference includes early sponsorship support from Arrayent, iControl Networks, ULE Alliance, Z-Wave, Ayla Networks, Zipato, AlertMe, MiOS, and Support.com.
"Each market in Europe is distinctive, with its own characteristics and opportunities. For example, DVR penetration among broadband homes is higher in the U.K. than the U.S., and close to one-half of these U.K. DVR households bought their device at retail, versus approximately 22% in the U.S.," said Brett Sappington, director, research, Parks Associates. "In other European markets, purchasing a DVR at retail is even more common, creating unique competitive pressures and service opportunities throughout the continent."
CONNECTIONS Europe will examine the European and global markets for entertainment service and technology providers, the Internet of Things, and smart home providers, including new revenue and partnership opportunities, consumer engagement strategies, and challenges in connecting disparate products to the smart home.
Oliver Lewis, SVP, Customer Propositions and Product Management, Sky Deutschland, will deliver the opening keynote. Early confirmed speakers include:
Dr. Regina Bernhaupt, Director, User Experience Research, Ruwido
Darren Fawcett, CTE, Pace
David Friedman, CEO, Ayla Networks
Connecting Smart Products and Smart Home Services

There will be 150 billion connected devices by 2020. New digital businesses have already disrupted value chains across every industry. APIs are at the center of the digital business.

No enterprise can be complacent and not engage in the digital economy. Learn how to be the disruptor and not the disruptee.

AKRON, Ohio — Texas authorities allowed a man now linked to a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme to be released temporarily from an Ohio jail this year.
The Texas Parole Authority initially requested that Richard Beasley be held for violating his burglary conviction parole after he was arrested in Ohio on drug-dealing charges.
But records show Texas was only interested in bringing Beasley back if he were convicted in the drug case.
Bill Holland, a spokesman for the Summit County Sheriff's Office, told The Associated Press on Thursday that Texas agreed to lift its hold on Beasley until the drug case was resolved.
Beasley is now a suspect in the deaths of two men and the nonfatal shooting of a third man who answered a phony Craigslist ad for a cattle farm job.

Singapore writer Felix Cheong wants to know where and why the country has lost its soul.
He said, "We have become this glamour city, full of chrome and glass, tall iconic buildings, but no soul."
Cheong, author of short stories collection "Vanishing Point", takes on this issue in his new book, along with hot-button topics like transport, education and economic growth.
Called "Singapore Siu Dai", which translates to "less sugar" in Hokkien, it is a collection of 50 short stories that satirize life in Singapore.
Having previously written poetry collections and fiction novels, this is Cheong's ninth book and his first foray into humorous fiction.
The 49-year-old writer feels strongly about the political themes he tackles in his book. Civil servants are satirized in the book, depicted as characters who form the government's elite but who do not see people as people.
He said, "We have been in this same status quo for far too long. After 50 years, I think it's time something changes."

The skipper told us last week how the lads were determined to land back-to-back home wins after defeats on the road to Dnipro in the Europa League and Norwich.
The target was achieved thanks to a memorable second half performance in the second leg against Dnipro for a 3-1 win on the night and 3-2 aggregate success and a grittier 1-0 victory against Cardiff back in the Premier League on Sunday.
Roberto Soldado
scored the only goal to secure an eighth win in our last 12 matches in the Premier League.
"We know Europe is tough, we went out to Ukraine, it didn't go our way and then put in a disappointing performance against Norwich," said Michael. "That result was a massive blow.
"We showed our fighting spirit against Dnipro after going 1-0 down just after half-time to come back and win and now it's two wins out of two.
"It was a huge win and for Robbie to score, you could see the joy for him. We're all in this together and he's a top player. The fans gave him a fantastic reception and we're all delighted for him.
"Now we look forward to Chelsea…."
