This may seem like the obvious thing to say, but this isn't 2010. It was never going to be 2010. Canada may win gold again, or they may fail to win gold, and however it turns out, it's not going to ride on how they did against Norway.
That being said, Canada has now completed between 14 and 17% of its Olympic schedule, and it's all we have to work with. It's all they have to work with, too. Don't worry that Canada beat Norway 8-0 to start the Olympic tournament in Vancouver, and 3-1 in Sochi on Thursday. Worry about how they actually played, and how quickly they're going to get better.
"It's time to get playing so we can figure out what we have, and that's what we did here today, so we can make improvement tomorrow, just cause now we suddenly have video on our own guys, we can talk about our team," said Canada head coach Mike Babcock. "Once you trust each other and you trust your structure then your skill level comes out, because you're in the right spots and playing fast.
"I thought we did a lot of good things tonight, don't get me wrong, but we can be way better. We understand that, and we're confident that we're gonna be."
In the small picture, Canada got better, which is good, because the first period was a closet full of junk. Canada dumped and chased, couldn't put passes together, ran nowhere. It was scoreless after one. It was in Vancouver, too.
Then they figured a few things out, and spent the second period in Norway's kitchen. The two shots Carey Price saw were a dump-in on a line change and a rolling apple that wasn't going in, and Canada got 14 shots on goal the other way. Canada found another gear.
They scored on a Shea Weber thunderbolt from the point at the 6:20 mark on a delayed penalty, and scored again on the kind of clockwork they are striving for — Drew Doughty with a tape-to-tape breakout to Patrice Bergeron, who whipped it to a charging Jamie Benn with John Tavares driving the net and diverting traffic, and Benn drilled it at the 15:19 mark. That's trust and skill, and not overthinking things. That was hockey.
"For the most part we've got to trust our instincts, we've got to play together, and make plays when we know that they're there," said Jonathan Toews. "There's systems that we really want to pay attention to on the defensive side, but we've just got to have patience and confidence with the puck, and I think that got better as the game went on. You could see us loosen up."
Norway succeeded by stacking players across the blue line, and mucking up the game, and their one goal was a power-play marker that deflected off a player and a goalie. Then Drew Doughty attacked and scored on a backhand — he told Babcock it was the first backhand goal of his life — 1:25 later. Canada was by far the better team, outshot the Norwegians 39-20, and figured it had 24 chances. Norway might have had four or five.
But there is work to do, trust to build, instincts to create and rediscover. Who stops thinking first, and just starts playing? How different will they look against Austria Friday night? In this game, Benn and Bergeron and John Tavares and Martin St. Louis, ostensibly their bottom four forwards, were probably their best line. It's a start.
"What I liked about tonight's game is that it was hard," said Babcock. "Now, we had chances enough for the score to be different. So what? We didn't score, and our power play wasn't dangerous, and we gave up a penalty kill goal, so we have a lot to work on."
Everyone has left the starting blocks in this tournament now. When Pavel Datsyuk was asked how the Russian felt being up 3-2 after two periods against the tiny Slovenians, he said simply, "Tension. Warning." And then Russia found themselves again, and walked away 5-2, with goals from stars like Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, and Ilya Kovalchuk. The Americans were tied 1-1 30 seconds into the second against Slovakia, then exploded for a 7-1 victory. The Finns fell behind 2-1 to Austria, and won 8-4.
Everyone is trying to piece themselves into a puzzle, and at some point the powers that be are going to collide, and that's the only thing this tournament has in common with what happened in 2010. Remember the golden goal, Iginla to Crosby? Instinct, and trust. Whichever power gets better fastest, whoever decodes themselves and their teammates best, will probably have the best chance to win. The fastest race in hockey is on.

Star Zest Home Tuition was the first to face the wrath of Singapore's newly minted Personal Data Protection Act, which officially took full effect on July 2. Now, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi could be next in line. According to a report by Wall Street Journal, a Xiaomi device user has lodged a complaint with regards to receiving unsolicited telemarketing calls from abroad. The source and content of the calls were unclear.
Hugo Barra, Xiaomi's global vice president, has reached out to the Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission to put out the fire. Earlier this month, another user complained on a Chinese language web forum that his Xiaomi smartphone was "secretly" connecting to a server in Beijing, causing him to believe that the company was transmitting all his data without his permission. Barra was able to turn away allegations of privacy violations then, and informed Wall Street Journal that the server in question in Beijing did not store user data. It connects to users' phones for services such as downloading themes and apps only.
Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission is now looking into the case. If found guilty, the smartphone maker may be directed to stop collecting or revealing data, destroy the data, provide access to the data, and may face a financial penalty of up to S$1 million (US$800,000), according to a commission spokesman.
The China-based smartphone has been very popular in Singapore. The launch of the Redmi Note last month saw all stocks being snapped up within 42 seconds. With data privacy a massive concern globally now, Barra and his team will have to act decisively in order to retain their popularity.

Crash.Net WRC News
Sordo pleased with Monte podium result
20 January 2013
Citroen's Dani Sordo has described his third place finish on Rallye Monte Carlo as a 'really good result'.
Sordo has returned to the Citroen fold this season, after being dropped by the French manufacturer at the end of 2010 and replaced by now Volkswagen pilot, Sebastien Ogier. Despite being in the 'third' car though on this event, the Spaniard went well and while he was almost 4 minutes behind event winner, and team-mate, Sebastien Loeb, he had the satisfaction of completely outperforming Mikko Hirvonen, the other driver nominated to score manufacturers' points for the Citroen Total Abu Dhabi WRT.
"Obviously, I am pleased to mark my return to Citroen with a podium finish," Sordo reflected after his debut event with the DS3 WRC. "In conditions which aren't really natural for me, it really is a good result. There's no doubt that I finished quite a long way behind both Sebs, but we quickly found ourselves in a different race.
"Today [especially in SS14 and SS16] you just had to stay on the road, the conditions were truly awful, totally mad. The second run on the Col du Turini wasn't quite as difficult, you just had to keep to the lines. But I didn't take any risks. I just wanted to make sure I made it to the end. I can't wait for the next rally now..."
Hirvonen meanwhile eventually finished one spot behind Sordo, gaining two places on the final day when Evgeny Novikov and Jari-Matti Latvala both crashed out in SS14. The Finn conceded he had probably been 'lucky' to get P4, although he pointed out that you only score if you finish.
"I was perhaps a little fortunate at the end of the race, but I am really happy with this result," he stated. "It was such a difficult weekend that I am happy to walk away with these points. You have to finish the rallies before you get the points and we made it all the way to the end.
"Monte Carlo has always been a difficult rally for me and this year it was the most difficult ever. It has been a long weekend, but championship wise, it is not too bad," he summed-up.

Different types of wedding dresses
Posted by Hudson Dickinson On March 13, 2015
One important factor to consider when you're doing your preparation for wedding is the choice of wedding dress. The chosen style of the bride for the wedding dress should not only make her best features be conspicuous but should also fit her body type.
The Hourglass style of the Plus Size Wedding Dresses normally includes defined top, bursting middle and thin waist. The dress might either be basically, or perhaps should be decorated with whole embroidery. This type of wedding dress is perfect for a bride with a thin waist, large bust and normal hips since it's going to show her sexy curves successfully.
One very design considered classic might be the A-line cut of wedding gown. These are clothes which resemble letter "A" as the name implies. The top is often tapered, its waist is sloped, and they made to flare. The dress design might suit a bride having a bulkier figure on the waist and hips.
A Mermaid shaped wedding dress is one which bears resemblance to the tail of a mermaid. It provides the feature of tight top which widens out at the knees. On the other hand, Fishtail wedding dress is much like a variation from mermaid gown with similar shape, but normally having a trailing train. A small-busted bride and having a small waist is advised to go for this kind of wedding outfit. Women with small figures may as well look taller since the design is going to make the attention to focus on the entire line.

The Sheath wedding dress of closely fitted design has a hem which normally stops right above the knees. Mainly, simple materials are used to design these Lace Wedding Dresses style which are designed to flaunt lady's sexy figure having not too much details. It's an excellent dress style which puts the accent on slender hips and long legs.
The Empire-waist wedding dress, well-liked and centuries-old design, is outlined so as to become fitted tightly around the bust-line, as the remaining body is left to fall straight. The wedding gown style is perfect for brides having smaller busts as well as perfect hips. Its illusion of a bigger breast is provided for through the dividing line of the fabric. It also helps make the figure of the bride adorning it to have a thinner figure.
The Column or Straight Cut dress appears like night-time dress but is white and not black. Majority of brides find it comfortable to put on since the shape may have been that they are already wearing. This dress does not have underskirts, and thus bumps or lump might be visible when the dress is designed of soft and thin fabric. Brides having proportioned figures might beautifully wear this type of dress, particularly on wedding that's not very informal.
Gathered Skirt is a wedding dress with folds and pleats at the waist or hip level, or the point the bodice meets the skirt. These Short Wedding Dresses appear like dresses put on by princesses.
The above are types of wedding dresses, and it's incumbent upon the brides to choose one according to their body sizes and styles among other considerations. After all, this is one of the most important days she does not want to disappoint, and the choice of a wedding dress should not spoil her big day.

I thought you meant non apocalyptic world.
Since there would be no need for any money obviously if you were the only human.
I draw for a blend of the two, I draw for social reaction. Not in the sense of gaining some type of fame or money, I draw because I love the world around me and what I mean by social reaction is that I want my art to be a doorway for other people to enjoy it as much as I do. I saw alot of video game landscapes and characters when I was young and how beautiful it all was, how happy, adventurous,curious,fascinated it made me feel and I liked it. If there were no more people in the world, I probably wouldn't be drawing because I'd me much too fascinated by the newly abandoned real world.Salvaging things and building elaborate shelters In the middle of streets out of bicycle parts or something, or houses out of sea shells. I wouldn't have anyone to show how amazing an alligator sketch is because I'd already know how amazing an alligator is. Then again I probably would be doing it because that lovely artist OCD would be ever so present, thus my brain possibly would have to prove to itself over and over again just how amazing it really is. So I don't know about the process of drawing, I still have to work/think on that but I know for sure no matter what I'd be doing some kind of art.
One can quit drawing, but can't banish creativity, I could quit drawing but i'd inevitably become that old lady that puts beads, flowers,and hearts on everything..
id do some doodles probably, but id be mainly putting my time into a) surviving and b) searching for anything worthwhile to "make love with".

If there's one issue that unites Idle No More protesters, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence and militant and moderate First Nations alike, it is the federal government's recent changes to environmental oversight.
But the united stand among First Nations, grassroots and environmentalists has been met with an equally adamant federal government that appears unwilling to budge, forming the battle lines for an extended conflict.
"Our fights may be different, but our dreams and hopes for our people are common," Spence said in a statement posted Wednesday, thanking Idle No More for bringing awareness to the new environmental laws and urging unity among First Nations.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, however, is not blinking.
"The government has no plans to reconsider its legislation," the prime minister's spokesman, Andrew MacDougall, said bluntly in an email Wednesday.
While there may be room to negotiate with Ottawa on other issues that have driven First Nations people into the streets in protest, the division over how to handle resource development and the environment is deep and entrenched.
Wednesday's day of action included traffic disruptions and public demonstrations across the country, but remained peaceful.
Some chiefs, warn of blockades if material changes aren't made soon. And Spence's liquids-only hunger protest persists.
At issue are two huge and complicated pieces of legislation stemming from last year's budget, of which more efficient natural resource extraction was the centrepiece.
Bill C-38, which passed in June, completely overhauls Canada's environmental assessment law, redefines protections for fish and gives the federal cabinet new decision-making powers on resource development.
Environmentalists and First Nations alike say the changes allow mining and energy companies to steamroll over their concerns, and rush into resource extraction without properly accounting for harm to animal habitats.
But an analysis by lawyers at Fraser Milner Casgrain says the changes also impose new responsibilities on corporations when it comes to dealing with First Nations.
Plans for resource extraction will need to take into consideration any effect on aboriginal health, socio-economic conditions, physical and cultural heritage, and historical sites.

The cookies are new and unique to the market, and along with Belle's recently introduced cheesecakes, mark the dessert-case debut of the creamery's cheese.
• They are made with local, artisan ingredients (the chevre, eggs, and often the milk).
• Goat cheese and milk is a healthier alternative to cow's milk products (less fat, calories; more protein and nutrients), i.e. cream cheese or milk-based frostings.
• These cookies are one-of-a-kind, and you can feel good about them.
The evergreen cookies offered year-round will consist of goats, colorful and fun squares, and the Belle Chevre logo, Belle's head. Special seasonal cookies will also be offered in time for party favors, giving, and entertaining. They will consist of:
• Candy Cane Hearts (February)
• Love Hearts (February)
• spunky Easter eggs (March/April)
• Margaritas and Limes, perfect for Cinco de Mayo (May-August)
• Graduation Caps (May/June)
• Watermelons (June-August)
• Polaroid cameras (June-August)
• Stars a la American flag (July)
• Footballs (August-December)
• Alabama OR Auburn round cookies (August-December)
• Black & White Spooks: Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas, Spiderwebs, and Ghost (October)
• Moustaches, in honor of Movember (November)
• Pumpkin Pie with Slice (November/December)
• Pretty Presents (December)
• Snowflakes (December)
At the moment, cookies will be for sale on www.bellechevre.com, by the half dozen ($18) and the dozen ($36). They make the perfect gift and party favor and are unbelievably delicious. All of Belle Chevre's products are available in stores nationwide as well as at www.bellechevre.com.
Belle Chevre has produced a variety of internationally acclaimed chevres since 1989 using time-tested European farmstead techniques. The company is purposefully small, and each chevre is hand made in Alabama by its passionate cheese makers. Belle Chèvre cheeses have received numerous national awards from the American Cheese Society and the American Dairy Goat Association, and have been featured by Martha Stewart, Oprah, and everyone in between.

This is a game-changing product. I used to use the Beauty protector Protect Oil but this stuff........amazing. I have thick, wavy, dry, colored, frizzy hair that gets so poofy. I usually have to use about 6 pumps of the Beauty Protector and it is still poofy after. I only needed a few drops of this and the poof is gone! Plus it smells ah-mazing! Worth every penny even though it is expensive.5
Unlike some of the other hair oils out there, this hair oil isn't meant to just make your hair shiny - it's actually meant to treat your hair. The scent is like all other Oribe hair products - absolutely to die for. Save your BB points and snatch up this oil. You'll love the soft, healthy results.5
I was hestitant to buy this based on the price and because iw as using a hair oil i thought was working ok ... turns out it was not! Upon my first time using this oil my hair really drank it up and it made me hair very soft and smooth. the fragrance is lovely as well. the oil was a lot "lighter" then other oil I used and it just felt so nice on my hair. highly recommend5
I was so excited to try this product. After reading and watching so many reviews, I decided to splurge and get this for my dry (from surfing and such), very beachy-like wavy, blonde hair. I put this on my ends and through my hair as soon as it came in the mail. It smells good, but the scent is so faint you can barely smell it. Even before putting it into your hair. I didn't notice a difference on my split ends at all, hoping that it would somewhat seal them when applied and my hair wasn't really any softer or better looking. I really had high hopes for this product and it didn't wow me at all like I thought it would. I'm almost sad, lol. It's so expensive!! My hair is not at all short, quite a few inches past my shoulders, but I am really trying to get it healthy and grow it longer.
Unless I see gradual changes in my hair from this since obviously I didn't get any instant ones, I will not be purchasing again. I don't think it's worth the price tag.
I know this product is pricey, but it delivers. I have long color treated hair and I'm 50 +. It is exstremly light weight and smells terrific . I use it on wet hair after a was , a very small amount and it truly make styling a dream. I use flat iron and wide barrel curling iron, and they are the super hot one, I put a little extra on the ends if there dry. Very nice worth the price5
I have tried several similar products both high-end and not. This is by far the best of them all. It is so much lighter feeling and yet my hair is softer, lighter and NO FRIZZ! I was hesitant at the price, but it is more economical to purchase a quality product that will get used and in a size and formula that will last me for a long time.5
I have tried Many Many oils, specially all from expensive ranges. This one is in my top three. It smells like the classic Oribe smell but like lemons if that makes any sense. In terms of performance it's really good. If you have VÈRY Damaged hair then this is a must since the difference is remarkable. There is tons of shine, it smooths strands, no tangles and hair is so much healthier looking. Only thing is if your hair is somewhat healthy(I just got a drastic cut) this might come on a bit oily. Overall it's great. Price is ok, almost the same as morrocan for 3oz is not bad..and it's better. Plus I'm loving Bb point system!5

'Russia, China standing firmly behind Syrian gov't'
So I think we might see the US take a step back, having seen that in fact with the escalation of violence, Russia's position and China's position becomes firmer."China and Russia have vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution against the Syrian government, requesting a new mandate for unarmed military observers in the Arab country. The permanent UN Security Council members on Thursday blocked the resolution which called for new sanctions against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The vote had been postponed on Wednesday upon a request by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan and warnings from Moscow that the resolution for sanctions "would amount to direct support" for the terrorist groups in that country. Press TV has conducted an interview with Sharmine Narwani Senior Associate at St. Antony's College, Oxford University, to further talk over the issue. The video also offers the opinions of two additional guests: Rania Masri, with the United Nations Development Program in Cairo, and Lawrence Freeman who is with Executive Intelligence Review in Washington. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview. Press TV: Let's look at whether that is the only reason why Russia voiced there in form of a veto at the UN. It was very interesting when they said that there is a geopolitical battle that is being fought in Syria and that it is all about Iran saying that after the United States went into Iraq, Iran gained power in the region that this is basically; Russia said if you ask, any of these member countries are going to agree with it on that. What do you make of that statement? Narwani: I think we all know that Iran is a fundamental reason why the United States, the three permanent Security Council members who are spoilers in this and other countries in the region are focused so heavily on Syria and pushing regime change there.
For Russia, if your question is specifically about Russia, I would say that Russia like a lot of other countries in the developing world and in the major emerging economies are concerned about certainly what the gentleman earlier said but we are seeing a shift in the balance of power globally, partly because of the global financial economic crisis but also BRIC countries for instance and others have not had a seat at the main table in global institutions for far too long and I think they are demanding a say; they are demanding the right to redress this global imbalance in power and Syria has become a frontline battle for that.But beyond that there are other issues certainly the radicalization of the violence in Syria threatens to spill over broadly into the region and certainly that is of concern to Russia and Iran and other regional players who have seen time and time again the growth of Salafist groups and other militant groups operating on their territory. So there is a wide variety of reasons but certainly the geopolitical ones are very valid. Press TV: I would like to break this into three and find out what is next: what is first of all going to be the moves that the US is going to make based on your opinion along with their partners and then the next two groups are going to be obviously the opposition on the ground and of course we are then looking at what Russia is going to do but, first, to you regarding the next move by US and its partners regarding Syria. Narwani: There was a period, a few months back, that it looked like the US and its partners were actually by and large taking a step back and looking for an exit strategy because you had the French presidential election; the US presidential election is coming up later this year and I think Syria was becoming too cumbersome an issue.
Something thoroughly changed. They are back in the game; losing a vote to third time at the Security Council, I think now the questions about whether Russia or China can be swayed to move away from their existing position on Syria, if it is not clear to the US, France and UK, there is something wrong with them.So I think we might see the US take a step back, having seen that in fact with the escalation of violence, Russia's position and China's position becomes firmer. So we might see that. I mean we have a US presidential election coming up in a few months. That will be part of the consideration. MSK/GHN

I've got a chance to pick up a Plaubel Peco Junior -- most of what I see on the web refers to these as 6X9 cameras, but the front standard of this camera is marked 10X15/9X12. Bellows are shot, so I'd have to find new ones. Comes with a funky (but looks like Plaubel-made) back that has a vertical 6X9 groundglass, and space next to it for a roll-film back. You focus on the glass, then slide the panel sideways to shoot the image. Comes with a somewhat tatty Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 150mm f/4, and a frozen 90mm Angulon (if I remember correctly).
I like the camera because it oozes precision craftsmanship from 50 years ago. The camera and rail are in pretty good shape, though the lubricants will need to be cleaned off and replaced.
Any thoughts on what value this would have? I can probably get it for around $200, assuming I can talk my wife into it! Can I find replacement bellows? Am I out of my mind?

Debbie Epstein, Roger Hewitt, Diana Leonard, Melanie Mauthner and Chris Watkins
MM: Does the school have any particular focus on racist, sexist or homophobic bullying?
Teacher: Yeah, not homophobic. I would say that the policies on homophobia, that is an issue as well, homophobia as a cause of violence. I mean, quite often violence may start because of homophobic insults between boys. The school's policy on acceptance of people's sexuality, not discriminating against people, understanding. Quite honestly, I mean, that's not an issue that you make a lot of noise about in schools ever since the Tories. You know, you would be criticised, possibly. Maybe even the head teacher as well would be uncomfortable with pushing an issue like homosexuality or sexuality in a school like this.
The quote above, from an interview with the head of history in a large comprehensive school in London, is drawn from our ESRC-funded project entitled 'The "Violence-Resilient" School: A Comparative Study of Schools and their Environments'. 1 In this project we sought to understand how different approaches to the management of schools could have the effect of reducing or producing violence in broadly similar neighbourhood contexts. What we were interested in, then, was not so much the amount of violence in any particular school, but how that compared with levels of violence in schools in similar areas with similar levels of reported neighbourhood violence. We were particularly concerned to trace the impact on those forms of violence related to 'differences that make a difference' (racist, sexist and homophobic violence and bullying, for example) of different regimes, cultures and approaches by the senior management teams of the schools we looked at. One of the key findings from our study was that, amongst these different forms of violence, harassment and bullying, schools found it most difficult to handle homophobic abuse and were most likely to ignore it. In this chapter, we explore the evidence of this, and consider some of the implications for schools, social justice and identity formation.

Open Sesame...6 Ways to Get Prospects to Open Doors
Typically when you mention the word "prospecting" to a sales rep, they cringe. People will easily admit that networking events are their least favorite activity, however the successful reps have found that networking is critical to their success. Having reps put together a prospecting plan will keep a constant flow of business coming in the door.
In order to create prospecting success we need to:
- Plan for it
- Execute
- Be creative
Tips for Positive Prospecting and Better Results
- Have reps block out time everyday for prospecting. Be sure to create measures for prospecting that both you and your reps can track. Use these metrics to set goals for each rep to meet during his or her scheduled prospecting block. Don't allow prospecting to become low priority because just because it is disliked.
- The biggest mistake that sales staff make when prospecting is repetition. Calling on prospects to give the same old tired pitch time after time is not going get reps a top spot when vying for a prospect's attention. Sales reps need to give prospects a reason to talk with them. This can be done in a number of different ways. Encourage reps to use their creativity. For example a rep might send a menu from a local restaurant with a meeting request written right on the menu requesting a ½ hour of the prospect's time and they'll bring lunch.
- Encourage reps to constantly be thinking of ways to set themselves apart! As a manager, you may want to consider sponsoring an internal contest to have reps come up with low cost alternatives that may serve as door openers to new clients.
- Challenge reps to compete against one another to generate the highest number of appointments from prospecting calls within a given period. Offer a coveted prize to increase participation and motivation. This is just one idea to fuel reps to make prospecting calls and keep your pipeline full. Doesn't sound like your culture? Then have reps pair up and coach each other specifically on their prospecting. Have the pairs meet on a regular basis to discuss their progress, including one prospecting success as well as one challenge. Having the reps peer coach one another creates an opportunity for them to ask for help and learn from each other in an open, supportive environment.
- Help reps keep their energy levels high. Encourage reps to get up every ½ hour for a quick break, hit up a guided meditation app, hold a few yoga poses, or watch a funny YouTube video, anything to get reps to stop and reenergize. Incorporating a change in physiology, instead of repetitive actions over long blocks of time, has proven time and time again to produce better results.
- Stress the importance of following up after a good phone conversation or appointment. Create a plan of action for reps to confirm appointment prior to, as well as after, to thank prospects for their time. Many reps will not take the time to write a hand written note to let the prospect know that their gift of time was greatly appreciated. Remember, there is always other people who need your prospect's time and your competitor may have had a conversation with them the same day.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Because You Are Mine, a scorching new novel about forbidden desire…
After graduating from her M.B.A. program, Alice Reed is surprised when she's recruited for the management training experience at legendary Camp Durand, owned by Durand Inc.'s young, billionaire CEO, Dylan Fall. The company usually recruits from Ivy League schools, not insignificant colleges like Alice's.
Alice enthusiastically accepts, but she still wonders why Dylan would choose a girl from the wrong side of the tracks for the prestigious program. But after a passionate encounter one night, she discovers exactly why—Dylan wants her, and Alice can hardly resist his fierce sexual appetites, though she is amazed that she could appeal to an experienced, sophisticated man like Dylan.
As Dylan introduces her to thrilling, erotic territory, Alice discovers a delicious new part of herself. Night after night, she steals away to find ecstasy and escape in Dylan's arms. But behind her lover's powerfully magnetic facade, Alice senses darkness, secrets from Dylan's past lurking in his beautiful, lonely mansion—secrets that are starting to haunt Alice. And the ghosts of the truth might tear Dylan and Alice apart forever . . .

Excerpt: GLIMMER, 5/5/15
She looked over at him. He was watching her steadily. A strange feeling overcame her, like a door was opening in her chest. She had a bizarre yet shockingly strong urge to sink deeper into his dark gleaming eyes . . . to feel his arms close around her.
What the hell was wrong with her?
"Alice? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah," she said through rubbery lips, forcing her gaze out the window again. Her heart began to roar so loud in her ears she wondered if he heard it.
"I was glad to hear you accepted the position at Camp Durand. I wasn't entirely certain what to expect as far as an answer," he said neutrally.
She grimaced slightly, grasping for steady mental footing. "Not too shocking, after that interview, I suppose." He didn't respond.
"I was just as surprised to get the offer," she admitted after a moment, feeling strangled by the oppressive silence of the house that surrounded them. By the man.
It was all so strange.
"I did hear a gong sound," she defended suddenly—stubbornly—as if to push back the haze encroaching on her, the strange, unnameable emotion that approached panic.
"Yes. I just realized what it was you must have heard. I think Marie was responsible. My cook is a bit of a tyrant. I mean that in the fondest sense of the word," he assured dryly with a sideways glance at her. Alice gave him a shaky smile, relieved by the news. Maybe she wasn't crazy after all? "Marie occasionally uses an antique gong she found here in the house to alert the catering staff she has something she wants done immediately. She has those poor people hopping around like nervous rabbits. I hadn't realized you could hear it from here, but that must be the culprit."
"Oh . . . it really did sound like it came from this room."
"An old house like this can play tricks on the senses."
"I'm sorry for—"
"There's no harm done. I hope," he added quietly. There it was again, that brief flash of a killer smile. "And I'm sorry. For snapping at you."
She swallowed thickly. Through the window, she saw Kuvi cross the distance of the terrace and say something pointedly to Dave Epstein. Dave scanned the crowded terrace from his greater height and shook his head.
"I should get out there. I think my roommate is wondering where I went," Alice said, starting to back away.
"Wait a moment."
She blinked in surprise at his low, clipped command. Goose bumps rose on her arms. He looked a little embarrassed by his tense declaration. It was strange, to see him off balance—Dylan Fall.
He cleared his throat. "Have you spent a good summer thus far?" he asked.
"Spiffing." She was confused as to why Dylan Fall was singling her out for garden-party talk before they even got to the garden. Perversely, she didn't want to play along.
He gave her a dark glance. "Do you always have to be sarcastic?"
"I wasn't being sarcastic," she lied.
His gaze scored her. He wasn't going to be sidetracked. She sighed and began ticking off her boring, very unsophisticated activities this summer. "I signed on with a temporary maid service to help pay the bills now that my student loans are coming due.
Maggie was on sabbatical in Mexico, so I babysat her Irish setter, Doby. He had a bad case of fleas and threw a huge fit when I dragged him to the vet. He nearly broke my wrist, he freaked out so bad in the waiting room."
She gave him a "well, are you satisfied?" glance, but he was impervious.
"You and Maggie are close, then?"
"Yeah. I live in an apartment over her garage," Alice replied stiffly, suddenly thinking of an issue that had been niggling at her. "I asked Maggie why she told you about me growing up in Little Paradise. She swore she never did."
He had the decency to look vaguely embarrassed.
"Why did you say that? And how did you know where I'd grown up?" she demanded.
He frowned as he stared out at the Great Lake. He looked hard and intimidating, and for a second, she couldn't believe her cockiness in berating him.
"We did a basic security screening on some of the more desirable candidates for Camp Durand," he said after a pause. He glanced at her and saw her offended expression. "It helps us to narrow down the contestant pool. You can't really blame us, can you? You'll be working with children, after all."
Her defiance flickered out. "I guess not," she said. "Still, no one likes having someone pry into their private life without permission. Would you?"
"You gave permission in the original paperwork you signed when you applied for the position." He scowled slightly. "And no. I didn't like it when it happened to me, either. One of the consequences of the job, I suppose."
A smile curved her mouth at a thought. "Did you have anything to hide?"
She glanced at him in surprise. She hadn't expected him to say that. Movement and color caught her eye out on the terrace. One of the Durand managers' peach-colored skirt billowed in a gust of wind.
"Aren't you worried you should be out there?" she asked.
"Not particularly," he said, his gravely voice causing the skin of her cheek and ear to tingle in awareness. "I just received an unpublished quarterly report for Durand. I got caught up in looking at it just now. That's why I was running behind and wasn't there to greet you all," he said.
She raised her eyebrows expectantly when he paused.
"I was wondering if you would consider taking a look at it as well, along with our last quarterly and a few annuals. To see if you spot any significant trends. I admire that knack for numbers you have. There's no hurry, though. I know you need to get settled in, and your kids are coming tomorrow. You aren't obligated," he added when she didn't respond immediately.
"Sure. I'd be happy to," she said once she'd gotten over her surprise at his request. The idea of losing herself in numbers—of escaping all this strangeness and surrounding herself with the familiar—sounded very reassuring at that moment. She perked up a little, as if she was finally rising out of the strange oppression that had come upon her since she first entered this house.
He nodded, seeming satisfied by her response. "Thanks. I guess we better go make a showing at the party," he said, not seeming very excited about that fact. "Shall we?"
Much to her dismay and bewilderment, he fell into step beside her, as if he planned to escort her. Alice couldn't think of anything to say to stop him. She couldn't tell him what to do in his home and at his dinner party. They walked through the quiet house together, and down a flight of stairs. When they reached a large, high-tech family/ media room at the back of the house, she hesitated.
"This way," he said, touching her bare upper arm again, obviously misunderstanding her uncertainty. He unlatched one of many French doors and guided her through the opening. His fingertips lightly touched her bare back, stealing her focus. Suddenly, the entire Durand party was right there in front of her, several of them turning at the sound of the
door opening, their attention snagged when they noticed Fall's tall, singular form emerge from the house. Alice's cheeks flamed in embarrassment as their host walked down the steps to greet them, his hand only falling away from her back when they reached the bottom step.
"Glimmer is electrifying, highly erotic . . . riveting. This author never ceases to amaze."

From the New York Times bestselling author of Because You Are Mine, a scorching new novel about forbidden desire…
After graduating from her M.B.A. program, Alice Reed is surprised when she's recruited for the management training experience at legendary Camp Durand, owned by Durand Inc.'s young, billionaire CEO, Dylan Fall. The company usually recruits from Ivy League schools, not insignificant colleges like Alice's.

But behind her lover's powerfully magnetic facade, Alice senses darkness, secrets from Dylan's past lurking in his beautiful, lonely mansion—secrets that are starting to haunt Alice. And the ghosts of the truth might tear Dylan and Alice apart forever . . .
"You're a statistical trend spotter, aren't you?" he asked casually, referring to her ability to absorb data and quickly break it down into meaningful trends, spot anomalies, and even predict outcomes.
"I suppose you could call me that," Alice said.
"Are you a savant?"
"No," she denied tensely. The word savant labeled her as a freak. All she wanted was to go unnoticed. Freaks didn't blend in. "I just have a decent feel for numbers and what they mean."
"You have a phenomenal feel. A rare gift," he corrected, his deep voice making her spine prickle again in heightened awareness. "I think you've informed me of just about everything I need to know," he suddenly said briskly, his gaze on the papers on the desk. Alice eased forward in her chair, recognizing the end of the interview. "I was wondering—were you interested specifically in
Durand Enterprises before you began the philanthropy study?"
She shook her head. "No. I mean . . . I knew about it, of course. I was familiar with both its corporate success and philanthropic emphasis."
"Ah. I was under the impression from your advisor that you were the one who first suggested Durand for the study," he said.
"I might have been. I'm a business major," she said shrugging. "Durand Enterprises is one of the most successful businesses in the world."
He took off his glasses, his gaze on her sharp.
"Are there any questions you have for me?" he asked after a pause in which Alice had to force herself not to squirm.
"How many people will be chosen as Camp Durand counselors?"
"Fifteen. We try to keep the camper-to-counselor ratio as low as possible, while offering scholarships to as many of the kids as we can. New-participant numbers remain fairly steady, but the returning campers have to keep a clean legal record and pass several random drug tests if they have a history, in addition to maintaining an acceptable grade point average. As you probably already know, the camp focuses on junior high and high school-aged kids. Each counselor usually has around ten kids on his or her team."
"So only nine counselors make the cut to become a Durand manager," she reflected. "Do you honestly think that this setup—a summer camp on the shores of Lake Michigan for three weeks—really gives Durand the information it needs to hire top notch executives?" she asked skeptically. "It seems a little"—silly, she said in the privacy of her brain—"odd to expect business graduate students to have the necessary experience. We're not social workers or teachers. Or babysitters."
He flashed her a glance when she mumbled the last under her breath.
"You're not expected to be any of those. Well . . . maybe teacher, but not in the classic sense. There are regular, experienced staff at Camp Durand—cabin and grounds supervisors around the clock. It's true, though, that the counselors play a crucial role in the camper's experience. The Durand counselors are, essentially, the face of leadership and support to each individual camper. We offer a weeklong training period to the counselors, so they know what to expect. That training program is similar to many management retreats utilized around the world by companies to hone leadership skills. But that's only the beginning. Then the kids arrive, and the challenge really begins. What's required to succeed as a counselor—and as a Durand executive—is a large measure of ingenuity, leadership, people skills, and humanity. Those are qualities we've been unable to measure adequately from a resume, recommendation letters—which are almost always glowing—and a few interviews. Camp Durand works for us, no matter how unconventional it may seem. It's worked for us for decades. The executive contestants are under nearly constant observation for four weeks: one week of training and the three weeks while the children are there. Their schedule is arduous. They're considered to be on the clock from seven thirty in the morning until nine p. m., when the night supervisory staff takes over for them. They're expected to work Saturdays until three, with only Sundays off. It's not enough to brag about qualities of leadership, planning, intelligence, innovation, salesmanship, compassion, determination, hard work, and courage: The counselors have to demonstrate those skills daily with a group of children, some of whom have been labeled as criminal, uncooperative, manipulative, lazy, or unreachable. It's a lot harder that it sounds at first blush," he said, his mild tone in direct contrast to his lancing stare.
"So Durand does it again. It combines philanthropy—no, it uses it—to optimize the bottom line."
His smile was closemouthed, slashing . . . dangerous.
"Yes, I understand. That's the way you would view it," he mused as if to himself, sounding not at all concerned by her pessimism as he leaned back in his chair. His stare on her made her feel like a wreck he was considering making into a project. It was a cold, sharp knife, that stare, so Alice couldn't figure out why it made her sweat so bad.
"Would you be adverse to accepting a position at such a seemingly mercenary organization?" he asked.
"No," she replied without pause.
His gleaming brows arched. "Ah. So you're a little mercenary yourself."
"I don't know about that. I'm not stupid, if that's what you mean."
He gave a gruff bark of laughter. "No one could accuse you of stupidity," he said with a swift glance at her paperwork spread across the desk. He stood abruptly. Alice jumped up like she'd been released after being held down on springs.
"This has been enlightening," he said briskly, holding out his hand. They shook. "We'll be making our decision on finalists for Camp Durand within the next two weeks. Chicago-area colleges and universities were Sebastian Kehoe's last stop on the recruitment tour. We'll be in contact."
His eyes flashed. She grimaced. She hadn't meant to sound sarcastic, but recognized she had. Well, at least this fiasco was over with. Now she had all the valuable interviewing experience either she or Maggie could ever want for her. Everything after Dylan Fall would be trite. She had a future full of cakewalk interviews before she landed her new, realistic job. Probably a boring, entry-level, menial one given the current job market.
She turned to go.
She came to an abrupt halt, pausing in the action of reaching for the door. She didn't care for the fact that she looked over her shoulder with a measure of eagerness. It was hard not to crave every glance she could get of Dylan Fall. Despite the fact that he intimidated her, he was one hell of a sight.
"I know a man—he's a member of the Durand board, in fact—who grew up in the Austin neighborhood on the west side of Chicago," Fall said. "Are you familiar with that neighborhood?"
She studied him narrowly, trying to see his angle and failing.
"Yeah. It's one of the worst in the city."
"Worse than Little Paradise."
She barely repressed a snort. Mr. Slick, Gorgeous CEO in his immaculate Italian suit had a lot of nerve, presuming to know about Little Paradise. He noticed her flash of disdain, because his brows rose in a silent, pointed query.
"There's nothing worse than urban hillbillies, Mr. Fall," she explained with a small, apologetic smile. "I don't know how much you actually know about Little Paradise, but that's a pretty apt descriptor for who lives in the trailer park there. It's just that in our case, the 'hill' is a giant garbage dump."
She'd been trying to use levity. She must have only sounded flippant, though, because he looked very sober.
"My point is, Durand doesn't just offer philanthropy to needy kids to get publicity and prime photo ops, and then drop them off on the streets and forget about them. The man I'm speaking of rose through the ranks, starting as a Camp Durand camper when he was twelve years old. People-building isn't an empty philosophy at Durand. We want the best, no matter where the best comes from."
She realized belatedly she'd turned and was staring at him now full in the face. Searching. Suspicious.
Against her will, her gaze flickered down over his snow-white tailored dress shirt and light blue silk tie. A vivid, shocking impression popped into her head of sliding her fingers beneath that crisp cotton and touching warm skin, her palm gliding against the ridges and hollows of bone and dense, lean muscle. Her gaze dropped to his hands.
Just the thought of his hands sliding across her skin made her lungs freeze.
I'll bet he could play me perfectly. He just looks like he knows his way around a woman's body. He'd do things to me I've never even imagined.
They were completely inappropriate thoughts, but that didn't halt her instinctive reaction. Need rushed through her like a shock to the flesh, leaving a trail of heat in its wake. Her thighs tightened, as if to contain that unexpected flash fire.
Maybe it was because her few former lovers suddenly seemed young and clumsy in comparison to Dylan Fall?
Her stare leapt guiltily to his face. His dark brows slanted dangerously, but he also looked a little . . . startled? His eyes flickered downward, just like hers had. She hunched her shoulders slightly at the web work of sensation that tingled the skin of her breasts, tightening her nipples against her bra.
The whole scoring, nonverbal exchange lasted all of three ephemeral seconds.
Her hand curled into a fist when she recognized she'd let her guard drop.
"I'm happy for your friend. But I'm not a charity project," she said.
"Neither was he."
She flinched slightly at the stinging authority of his reply. Dylan Fall was a little scary in that moment.
"We'll be in touch," he repeated, looking down at the desk in a preoccupied fashion, and she knew she'd imagined not only that spark of mutual lust, but his cold, clear anger at her pitiful display of insubordination.
