Mrs. Rorn Nhin Village Bank Group
Mrs. Rorn N. is the village bank president who has been selected by the members. She is a farmer who owns a small piece of land to cultivate rice. Her husband, Mr. Naem Roun, is a construction worker. Although they try to work hard they still earn too little income to provide a better house for their family. Thus, Mrs. Rorn N. decided to ask for a loan to add to her savings to buy timbers to build the house. She is 40 years old and the mother of six children, two of whom are employed in a garment factory while the others are attending the local school.
All the members in this group loan have end-of-term loans so they are not required to pay any principal on the loan until the very end of the loan term. End-of-term (EoT) loans are AMK's main product because it is the most beneficial to Cambodia's poor. It allows them to repay portions of the principal whenever they are financially able to. Most clients start to make their payments many months before the end of the loan term. Almost all of AMK's clients make their payments on time. AMK, Kiva's partner, has a delinquency rate of only 0.09% and a default rate of 0% on Kiva.
Additional Information
About AMKAngkor Microfinance Kampuchea (AMK) is a leading microfinance institution in Cambodia with a wide reach of operations. AMK works with over 6,000 villages and serves clients in every Cambodian province. With an average loan size of US$115, AMK's focus is to provide credit and savings products to the very poor in rural areas. For more information, please visit AMK's website.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

February 25, 2015JBB RETURNS WITH KINGS AND QUEENS IN DUB
"Almost two years to the day after releasing the beloved Kings And Queens - which topped the Billboard Reggae Chart and reconfirmed John Brown's Body's status as one of the most influential American reggae bands - JBB returns with KINGS AND QUEENS IN DUB. Taking inspiration from landmark dub albums by Burning Spear, Aswad, and others, the new release features the entire sequence from Kings And Queens mixed by a who's who of dub champions including Ticklah, Dubmatix, Dubfader (of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant), UK legend Dennis Bovell, Yesking, Michael G (of Easy Star All-Stars), Lord Echo (of The Black Seeds), and more.
While the band has been working on new material for an upcoming release loosely scheduled for this fall, saxophonist Drew Sayers worked closely with Easy Star Records founders Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer to put together this album. John Brown's Body had previously released the 2012 EP JBB IN DUB and had a number of great instrumental dub tracks in their catalog, but this release marks the first time the band has attempted to do a complete dub version of one of their full existing albums.
The dub collaborators give a good sense of the currently growing global dub scene, hailing from areas of the world including the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA. Ticklah, Dubmatix, Michael G and Dubfader are good representatives of the current vanguard from North America, each with past collaborations with JBB in their history. Dennis Bovell and Yesking both represent the UK, Bovell of course as one of the most influential dub artists ever, having started his career with Matumbi, and eventually producing much of Linton Kwesi Johnson's output, along with helping to define the sound of UK lovers rock in the late '70s and early '80s.
A first track from the record, "Pulsing Dub," which was mixed by Yesking, is being premiered by Boomshots on February 25th, and the track will be made available to fans via John Brown's Body's SoundCloud page, which has over 2 million followers. The album itself will be available via pre-order at iTunes, including two tracks instantly available to anyone who pre-orders.
John Brown's Body has a handful of major tour dates coming up, including an appearance at California Roots Festival in Monterey, CA, which has become one of the biggest events in the US reggae calendar each year, as well as a record release show at Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, which will also include a DJ set from Ticklah.

February 05, 2015KINGSTON CITY #1 ON BILLBOARD REGGAE CHART
New Kingston's Kingston City has impressively debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart. Kingston City (released January 27, 2015 on Easy Star Records) is the band's third studio album and their first release to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard Reggae chart. The album is also their first release on the leading US reggae label Easy Star Records. The family group, which features three brothers (Stephen, Courtney Jr., and Tahir) and their father, create what Top Shelf Reggae calls, "…a genuine body of work that displays an incredible vocal range, candid lyrics and impressive instrumentals. It gives the listener the sort of meaningful connection and escape that every piece of music should provide."
"With its #1 debut on the reggae chart, Kingston City solidifies New Kingston's place with the reggae elite. Their hard work, prolific touring, and positive community continue to give the band momentum in 2015," says Easy Star CEO Eric Smith. He adds, "Furthermore it's thrilling to see a fast rising New York band who embodies the perfect balance of old and new reggae sensibilities."
The new record includes 12 songs and guest appearances by members of Tribal Seeds, Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kimie Miner, Sister Carol, The Wailing Souls, and the late, great reggae legend Sugar Minott. The band is currently on tour (which includes select dates with Common Kings and Through the Roots) showcasing songs from the new album and back catalog. Press accolades for Kingston City have been pouring in from a diversity of national and international media outlets.
"New Kingston —the reggae power trio consisting of brothers Tahir, Steve and Courtney Panton, Jr.— have gone international, touring the world several times over… and establishing themselves as a self-contained unit with their own original material." – LargeUp
"This album is the pairing of exceptional musicianship and excellent production along with a guest-list of talent that reads like a reggae legacy spanning decades of genres…Kingston City is beaming with positivity, messages of faith and expressions of love…" – The Pier
"This brother-led group bring an innovative new school approach to live roots reggae – a little like Morgan Heritage or Steel Pulse but definitely pushing their own aesthetic." – Forward Ever
"Kingston City – is well-crafted and definitely New Kingston's best album to date." – United Reggae

January 20, 2015REBELUTION'S COUNT ME IN REMIX EP OUT NOW
"Rebelution had a milestone year in 2014 with the release of their fourth studio album, Count Me In, which was the #1 selling album for the year on the Billboard Reggae chart, and their first co-released with Easy Star Records. 2015 kick starts right where they left off, with the announcement of their Count Me In Remix EP featuring Iration, The Green, J Boog, Katchafire, Dub Architect, Michael Goldwasser, Marshall "Ras MG" Goodman and Yeti Beats, available on January 20th.
The Remix EP features 5 tracks, with all proceeds being donated to WeCareSolar, Lupus Foundation of America, Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support and the SurfRider Foundation. Adding to the album version which features a collaboration with Jamaican Reggae legend and Rebelution-influencer Don Carlos, "Roots Reggae Music" gets a super dub treatment courtesy of Dub Architect and an extra verse from tour mates Katchafire. "Hate To Be The One" is reimagined by Easy Star Records' in-house superproducer Michael Goldwasser, and Sublime collaborator Marshall "Ras MG" Goodman offers up remixes of album favorites "Count Me In" and "De-Stress." Yeti Beats adds some more bounce to the anti-materialism anthem "More Love," featuring frequent collaborators and tour mates Iration, J Boog and Easy Star label mates The Green.
The "Winter Greens Tour" promises to deliver a nice balance of classic Rebelution tracks alongside new favorites, supported by other leading roots bands including Katchafire from New Zealand, Gondwana from Chile, and Jeremy Loops from South Africa to round out the 30+ date run. Lastly, the band will be touring worldwide throughout the year with performances in Australia, the Philippines and Europe, with more to be announced. " More info »
January 12, 2015THE SKINTS SIGN TO EASY STAR
"Reggae-dub four-piece The Skints, described by Clash Music as "the torchbearers for modern British reggae music," are pleased to announce their signing to prestigious New York City-based reggae label Easy Star Records.
Easy Star has steadily built a scene that extends in many directions, bringing together young producers, up-and-coming bands, reggae stars, and even artists outside the genre who have been influenced by Jamaican music, like Citizen Cope and blues musicologist Corey Harris. The independent label has created an impressive body of work that includes best-selling in-house productions from musical collective Easy Star All-Stars, along with progressive recordings, reissues of classic reggae, and collaborations with international reggae stars like Matisyahu, Luciano, Horace Andy and Morgan Heritage. The international progressive reggae scene that Easy Star has built continues to grow, thanks to label bands such as Rebelution, The Green, The Black Seeds, John Brown's Body, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Passafire, and Cas Haley.
This year sees them make a proud addition to their roster in the form of The Skints, in a partnership that promises to further strengthen the reggae scene. The East London-based group, who mix Jamaican styles with pop hooks, grimey raps, filthy basslines and a punk-rock work ethic, released their first album, Live, Breathe, Build, Believe in 2010. Crossing the boundaries between the punk scene they grew up in and the reggae grooves they love, it proved to be a popular underground hit, and was followed in 2013 by their entirely crowdfunded sophomore LP Part and Parcel, produced by close friend and renowned producer Prince Fatty (Lily Allen, Hollie Cook).
Having whetted our appetites with the interim Short Change EP in 2014, which was released through their own imprint Penny Drop Recordings, The Skints have since been in the studio recording their highly anticipated third full-length. Now, following their new alliance with Easy Star, they are preparing for its release on 9th March in UK and 10th March in US (presale begins 2nd February, 2015 in UK and 3rd February in US).
The album sees Prince Fatty back in the producer's chair adding his signature take on the genre, and will feature a host of exciting guests including reggae legends Tippa Irie and Horseman, alongside grime MC Rival, with full details to be announced in the coming weeks.
Having finished 2014 in style, taking to the road on the Jägermeister Music Tour alongside Me First and The Gimme Gimmes and performing at London's historic Brixton Academy in the process, 2015 promises to be another heavy year for the four-piece. With a number of UK tour dates already confirmed for April, along with European and stateside plans coming to fruition, the wheels are well and truly in motion - and The Skints show no signs of slowing down.

Well I am about halfway to level 2 which kicks the critical damage up a whopping 1000!!! I switched IM up a bit and went with repulsor barrage and man it can take down bosses and elites pretty fast!
Have you considered using prestige?
I don't really plan on prestiging any heroes. I got a lot of cool heroes to play, and I'd rather just keep a couple heroes at 60 so I can do new endgame stuff with them like the raids and stuff. Are you thinking about prestiging Iron Man or something?
Not sure there doesn't seem to be really any advantage to it so probably not. Have gunghir to level 2, sweet. Pretty happy about this weekend with free fortune cards the new jewels and 50% bonus on special find.
Well, it's crazy how fast you level up with the synergy XP system. My Scarlet Witch is level 57 now, looks like she'll be my next 60 hero. She's super fun to play with all kinds of AoE attacks and crowd control stuff. And teleporting. Teleporting's just plain fun. Spidey's not too far behind at 46, either.
Only have IM at 60, Thor is at level 54 but have not been playing him. I have BP in the low 40's and Collossus, HT and Loki in the high 40's. But I am playing my top five mostly, IM, BP, HT, Loki and Storm so I don't see myself getting anybody to 60 over the next couple of weeks maybe in a month or so. Just having fun raising a hero a level then going to the next up a level and then the next doing almost all exclusively LQ's, great XP and earning those marks for my next legendary weapon, however not to sure what hero will my affection as my #2 fav to earn the weapon, lol.
I do like synergies a very cool addition for sure.
And Scarlet Witch is now level 60! Super fun hero to play. I actually got her for free back when they gave free starter heroes during the story, so I'd say that was a pretty nice hero to get for free. I'm also up to 265 Odin Marks, I think, so I'm getting pretty close to 300 for that legendary!
What legendary are you going to get?
You got her up there pretty fast. I see her play and she reminds of Storm with all of her AOE attacks.
So I guess Nightcrawler is the first hero out this year, a bit disappointed as I want Dr. Strange but I get him with my pack so I will try him out for sure.
Haven't really decided which to get yet. I'll have to look into the stats of each one sometime. I'm leaning toward getting a Gungnir for Widow, though, since critical stats will always be useful for her, and she's been one of my favorites to play since beta.
Yeah, Legendary Quests give you experience pretty quick now, so it went pretty quickly. She's super fun to play with all those AoEs and some cool damage over time attacks. She has good crowd control, too, since she can pull enemies together to one spot, and she can confuse them, too. And she has a cool power that shoots random numbers of hex bolts, which deals pretty awesome damage. She doesn't have anything like Storm's Thundering Maelstrom, though. She's more of a stationary spellcaster who can teleport around to different spots instead of attacking while on the move.
Moon Knight's February, and then Dr. Strange is March, so you don't got too long to wait. I'm not a huge fan of Nightcrawler in the comics, but he could be really fun to play with all his teleporting.
Thanks for the character update. Moon Knight sound like he might be fun although I don't know much about him. He is connected to some moon god or something and is kind of crazy or a split personality. Outside of that I don't know much about his power set, but he seems very different from other heroes so he might be a lot of fun to play.
He's totally crazy and supposedly gets powers from Khonshu and hears Khonshu's voice. It's pretty creepy. He has all kinds of martial arts stuff and gadgets (like Batman), though he also seems to get stronger with the moon, too.

Above-the-Knee Amputation
(Transfemoral Amputation)
DefinitionAn above-the-knee amputation (AKA) is the surgical removal of the leg above the knee.
|Above-the-Knee Amputation
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for ProcedureAn amputation above the knee may be done because of:
- Poor blood flow that cannot be fixed
- Severe infection
- Trauma or injury
- Tumors
- Congenital disorders, such as a limb that has not formed properly
Possible ComplicationsProblems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Skin breakdown at the residual limb
- Infection
- Poor healing of the amputation site that may require a higher level amputation
- Swelling of the residual limb
- Decreased range of motion in the hip joint
- Phantom limb sensation —feeling that the amputated limb is still there
- Phantom pain —feeling pain in amputated limb area
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
What to Expect
Prior to ProcedureYour doctor may do the following before your procedure:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Imaging tests, such as x-rays or scans
- Have you donate blood in case you need a transfusion
- Prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection
- Arrange for a ride home.
- Arrange for help at home while you recover.
- Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking.
- Ask your doctor about devices you will need after the surgery like an artificial limb, walker, crutches, and/or wheelchair.
AnesthesiaYou may be given:
- General anesthesia —you will be asleep during the surgery
- Spinal anesthesia —you will be numbed from the waist down
- Regional anesthesia —this will numb your leg and the area surrounding it
Description of the ProcedureAn incision will be made in the skin above the knee. Next, the muscles will be divided and the blood vessels clamped. A special saw is used to cut through the bone. The muscles are then sewn and shaped so that a stump is formed to cushion the bone. Nerves are divided and placed so they do not cause pain. The skin is closed over the muscles, forming the stump. Drains may be inserted into the stump to drain blood for the first few days after surgery. A dressing and compression stocking will be placed over the stump.
How Long Will It Take?Several hours, depending on your health and the reason for the surgery.
How Much Will It Hurt?Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital StayThe usual length of stay is 5-14 days. It is possible that you may have to stay longer if complications arise. You may also go to a rehabilitation hospital to help you recover.
Post-procedure CareAt the HospitalRight after the procedure, you will be in a recovery room where your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. Recovery may also include:
- Pain medications
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication to prevent blood clots
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision

Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America
Number 34, 2013
pp. 156-174 | 10.1353/dic.2013.0008
The OED has seen many changes since the 1970s, when John Simpson joined the editorial staff of the dictionary. In this article, published soon after his retirement as Chief Editor, John looks back at how the dictionary has grown over the past four decades, reviewing briefly the dictionary's principal milestones: the completion of the Supplement in 1986 and the publication of the Second Edition in 1989; planning for and editing the Third Edition (2000-) and the emergence of the OED Online. The unfolding story is recounted from the Editor's Desk in each of the five offices John occupied, to the backdrop of the changing lexical and technological environment of the period.

On an isolated farm in southern Ireland, a decades-old grave houses the dismembered bones of 11 women. Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire of the Irish Gardai is used to bloodshed, but these white bones speak of unimaginable butchery.
Not far away, a young American tourist is at the mercy of a sadistic killer. His tools are a boning knife, twine, and a doll fashioned from rags, nails, and fish-hooks. The murder of his victims is secondary only to his pleasure at their pain.
As more and more victims are ritualistically murdered, Katie Maguire finds that she must solve an ancient Irish mystery to catch a terrifying present-day killer.
©2013 Graham Masterton (P)2014 Audible Studios
""I want more""
Mr. Masterton's imagination is full of darkness and he is not afraid to show it. Love it!
No comparison at all.
Kate Maguire
"Love Katie Maguire. Compelling if imperfect story."
Graham Masterton is a really masterful storyteller, and the twists come fast and furious. A few choices are more over-the-top than I like in my mysteries (prefer them slightly more real,) but I can't imagine he'd ever be a wasted listen. Love his ability to set up Cork as a place in time, and to draw a series of interesting characters.
Katie is a great character. She makes unique moral choices - more interesting than a lot of authors would allow- and her morality is very particular to her as a character. I like her doggedness. Masterton isn't afraid to let her screw up, either, which makes her all the more real. The ultimate villain of this piece is interesting too. Not entirely unexpected when revealed, but still worth it.
The narrator's voice is dramatic but also soothing with its Irish lilt. It's honeyed and unique. HOWEVER, I really feel that she hams it up awfully with the American characters. Their accents are SO BAD that it unfortunately ruins some really important scenes. Seriously. A suggestion of an accent often works better than when narrators try to fully do an accent (this must happen to British listeners all the time, but my ear is tuned to North American. Sorry, British listeners! Wow!) The end of the second book implies that there are more American characters to come so I hope this is fixed.
Masterton shows his roots as a horror author - BOY is there some gore in here. Just a warning. I'm not squeamish by most measures, but something about listening to the torturous scenes in here was pretty difficult... He also likes supernatural subjects a lot.
Some lesbian stuff in both books so far has been kinda gratuitous from where I sit - much more a male fantasy than a true female experience. Not enough to wreck anything, just a little silly.
I listened to the second Katie Maguire book first. If you think you might listen to it, you might want to do this one first. It doesn't matter much in a lot of series, but there is some serious story arcing from book-to-book here, and the journey of this one was a little spoiled by listening out of order.
12 n \\\\ Born and grew up in Scotland. No species of book I do not love. Favorite genre History, thrillers, biography, memoirs etc
"Could be great book instead of great disapointment"
Sexual scenes and scenes of torture.are GRAPHIC. The sexual scenes are so detailed that that they could be used in an OBGYN text book. I needed a shower after reading one chapter. The scenes of torture including details of being skinned alive and legs amputated
in minute detail are stomach turning.
.I found myself skipping chapters. This is a well written book take out the scenes of torture and sadism I would be hooked if it turned into a series. Believe me I am NOT easily offended, I am not squeamish, sex, when its part of the story is just great. Torture in detail is another story.You need a strong stomach, not prone to nightmares and enjoy porn to enjoy this book
Broken Angels by same author.
Excellent pronunciation of the Irish language. Caroline is great.
Anger and disappointment. Terrible ending great story, ruined by unnecessary scenes of sadism, crudity and violence
Dont buy this book if you are easily unnerved.
"Gruesome but great"
I loved the character of Katie Maguire, and the story was a real page turner
I have a fairly strong stomach, but the descriptions of torture were quite harrowing. But don't let this deter you from listening to this book. It's a ripper.
None in particular. Caroline Lennon is a talented performer and all characters were well differentiated.
There is a great deal of "Irishness" in this book, and I found it thoroughly entertaining. I loved the dialogue, the turns of phrase, and throughout, there was a real sense of being right there in the thick of it.
When you start on a series, and enjoy it, it's lovely to know there are more in the series. However, knowing this also takes away some of the suspense when the main character is in real peril. I mean, there are three more books, so how can she possibly die? But I guess it's a small price to pay when you also know there are at least three more adventures for our heroine to (and us) to enjoy.
"gratuitous gore"
The graphic descriptions of sadistic violence were distracting and seemed unnecessary. I find stories that leave some of these details to the imagination and focus on the forensic analysis to be far more interesting.
As stated above, there were elements of the story that were interesting; however, I found the descriptions of the sadistic acts to be unnecessary.
Several of the characters were interesting.
I recommend against downloading this book if you are sensitive to butchery and extreme suffering. I have read six of Chelsea Cain's Archie Sheridan/Gretchen books and found them to be gruesome, but enjoyed the series. White Bones far exceeded my threshold for gore.
"Good story but some graphic torture scenes"
The story and main characters are good but interspersed with chapters of torture that are graphic and gruesome. I'm about a quarter through and wondering whether I can finish it.
I sincerely hope not.
I'm appalled by the method and description of torture which is in contrast to an otherwise good story. I think the different aspects of the book would appeal to different audiences. Unfortunately one audience would be serial killers .......
"Sinister thriller not for the faint-hearted"
White Bones introduces Detective Katie Maguire. When the bones of 11 women are found on an isolated farm in County Cork in Ireland, Katie is initially told to drop the case as the deaths date back to 1915. But then a young American tourist goes missing and her body turns up on the same farm.
I've been hesitant for a while now to start this series because of the mixed reviews and mentions of 'supernatural', but it turned out to be a really solid Irish crime procedural and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot centers around old Irish folklore/myths rather than the paranormal elements I was expecting and that added a really interesting aspect to the story. Mr. Masterton has previously written horror novels and while this certainly shines through, I didn't find any of the details overly gory, but I think more sensitive readers may.
The author also provides plenty of background on the main character of Katie Maguire. By the end of the book, you really feel you have a good picture of her as a person. She has to work hard as a female in a very conservative, male dominated environment and her personal life is under scrutiny which isn't helping her marriage.
The audiobook narration was done really well, and I appreciate that the narrator must have had a very difficult time switching from characters with Irish dialect to American accents. I loved the Irish lilt, the American accent felt a bit off (sorry).
If you enjoy rather sinister thrillers in an Irish setting and would like to explore some Irish history and Celtic mythology, I would definitely recommend White Bones.
Cleverly written with great narration. A real page turner that keeps you guessing to the end.
"I should have heeded the reviews!"
I will be returning this one. However, its my own fault. I should have believed the earlier reviews. The book has some of the most graphic violence I have ever read. I am not easily shocked or a prude but just found it horrible and gave up after a couple of hours. Its a shame as I found the book really engaging otherwise. I also dont agree with some reviewers about the narrator. I thought she was great and would listen to her again.
If you like really, really graphic and detailed horror - this may be for you.
"surprising find"
I enjoyed this unusual tale. and that it is set in ireland .have the next in the series already downloaded. narrator was good overall. though not sure if she's actually Irish or not as some of her accents were a wee bit suspect. but certainly listenable if there 's such a word!
"Great Book"
Brilliant ... So happy to have found a new author . The narrator was excellent and coped with the different accents extremely well.
"Scary but captured my interest"
Bordering on the supernatural, this story kept me enthralled on a few dog walks! It was believable even though I don't hold with such nonsense! Quite horrific but tantalised me to try anticipate the ending. Super narration
"Story good but....."
This was a good, unusual story, if not very graphic in the torture scenes, but tried too hard to be Irish. Coming from the 'Fair Isle' myself I thought the author overdid the Irish elements, which got a bit annoying in the end.
The story was gripping..... just a bit disappointing.
"Quite gory and only alright as a read"
Many here have criticised the narrator's rendition of this. I have to say that it's not the greatest, nor is it the worst. I find her voice very hard and agressive during the narration - and I can't work out why it should be. Her accents leave a good bit to be desired if one wanted authentic "Cork" accents but then again, how realistic is that?
So, what annoyed me more in this book (presuming you've no problems with gore) is the actual story. I find pretty unlikely that a lad who grew up in rural Ireland wouldn't know what Hurling is. After all he's come back to take over the family farm which his mother still lives on - so we're presuming he didn't go to the States as a two year-old. As for labradors whacking radiators with their tails like a Bodhran drum - pleeeaaaaase Angela Landsbury come back, all is forgiven - yep, it gives me that same cheesy pseudo Irish feeling! Those are just two examples that struck me early on. I then stopped trying to note them lest I give up on the book.
On the whole there's just something missing here. There's gore which isn't really necessary, the book doesn't even give me chills in the way some which don't have any obvious gore do, but mainly, the story is shallow and the characters hard to warm to because they're just not deep enough... everyone is somehow brushed over and lacking in authenticity. I also find quite strange the author feels necessary to mention the Detective Garda's gun so many times (unless it's going to play a role later?) as, although some Detective Garda do carry weapons, Ireland is not exactly New York.
It's not a bad book, but it's not that great either. (This was written when half way through and yes, I'm interested enough to keep going but probably wouldn't seek out this author again).
"Appalling "accents" - I can't continue listening."
I definitely won't listen to Caroline Lennon again. The jury is out on Graham Masterson.
I don't know.
With a different narrator. Or if she had at least managed to put on a Cork accent.
The performance has put me off so much I cannot listen long enough to say. I got as far as chapter 10. I gave one star in each category as I could not progress any further without doing so. The performance doesn't even deserve one star.

Kim Possible by TallychyckWatch
©2010-2016 Tallychyck
Fan art for Kim Possible, a favorite childhood show <3 I want her hair and jet roller blades and theme music. ;____; So awesome.
Windsor & Newton series 7 sable brush, colored in Photoshop CS4.
Windsor & Newton series 7 sable brush, colored in Photoshop CS4.
Thank heaven Kim is not a real person, because she would HATE 80% of the depictions of her on Deviant art, BUT she would probably really like this one. You captured the attitude and spirit of the character, and as a big KP fan it's really refreshing to see that. Keep up the great work!
cool kim!
i needto drraw her, kim possible was my favorite show
Doooo it!
i tried a while ago, the plan was to have kim possible punching sub zero from mortal kombat in the face.
This is amazing
Ahhh ^^
they need to bring this show back
I just rewatched this series so this speaks to me very loudly. Just amazing!
I love the comic book style! And of course how could anyone forget her badassery! XD
I love Kim Possible to wish they would bring it back
really cool, yeah, stand up for yerselves, girls!
This is definately one of the best Kim Possible fan arts I've ever seen. It's stylezed without being overly sexual like some of the other stuff tends to lean towards. And I'm totally jealous of your ability to capture proper anatomy at an angle (That sentence might have mad more sense in my head...). Plus the Action pose and Expression are so well drawn, that they tell me every thing I need to know, no words needed.
Thank you so, so much! I tried really hard to be true to the character. The original show had such strong designs, unless you copy them completely it's difficult to make it look like the characters you're intending...but I was happy with this in the end.
Thanks for the alert! D:
You're welcome you are not the only one from who she stole art works I try to inform as many people she robbed as possible.
Great job!
Wow I love this good job I also get told I look like Kim possible
Kim Possible looks awesome!!
Perfect! I used to love that show so much. Haha my whole family liked to watch it--it was the only thing we could all agree on. xD
Very nice. At times I picture her this way doing what she does best....taking down the bad guys.
i love this shoot...nice look...
I like this!
Nice realistic Kim. I like it.
Indeed, it fits Universe Beta, since is supposed to be a more realistic, Marvel Comics-like universe, as opposed to the cartoony universe of Kim's original show.
"And then came a day unlike any other. A day where earth's mightiest heroes came together to face the greatest threat mankind has ever faced. And that day, the Guardians will rise..."
This is excellent! It's more realistic than the original cartoon, but she still has the face I'm familiar with. It's fantastic fanart!
Sorry bout that. This image is so awesome that I had to scream.
Sorry bout that. This image is so awesome that I had to scream.
wonderful job on the pose here! especially the hair, it's not all limp and hanging down but flying around a bit like it should be if she had just dropped into that stance! Kim's expression is really great too, she looks ready to kick some butt! and i just realized that was a lot of !'s hehe
love it!!!
Wow, this is really really good. Kim's low pose gives this a very grounded, sturdy vibe - you can feel the weight and force of the landing she just completed - but her eyes and fists indicate things are going to get a lot more unbalanced very quickly.
That hurricane rocks! Though I wonder why her new purple and black outfit is so rare to see in fan art.
Probably because it's not the first thing that comes to mind when people think of "Kim Possible." KP was introduced in the "old" outfit; it became her "logo" for a good five years (2002 - 2007); it bares more skin; and, frankly, given the plethora of brightly-colored, skinsuited heroines out there, the blunt, utilitarian nature of the getup just looks badass.
Just can't say enough about this piece. It is the background on BOTH of my computers.

Restoran Kroket: Restoran Kroket
Good food and service at this restaurant. There is a terrace that looks out over the bay with seating areas inside and out. There were a variety of dishes here that we did not see anywhere else such as Pork cooked under the bell which is what I had. In our accommodation comment book there was a warning about asking for wine - they brought a €40 bottle so make sure you ask for a wine list. Fries were of the better variety.
This was one of the more expensive places that we ate at.
Lantern Konoba
We did not eat here but as the place was close to our accommodation, we ended up here for an evening drink. One night it was cool and we ended up inside which was great, a good vibe as they say. Local draught beer on sale as well as bottles, spirits and soft drinks.
Food menu included pasta, pizza, grilled meats
Hotel Splendido: Relaxing view
This restaurant was part of the Hotel Splendido. There is no real indication that it is there from the hotel entrance but the staff were very helpful and directed us to the terrace. The draw of this place is definitely the view. The hotel is built on the bay side of the road and there is nothing to block your view of the bay. The staff were very courteous here and you get the feeling of being treated well. I would recommend the ambience but we did not eat so cannot recommend the food!
Bokeljski Hotel: The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel Restaurant
We really liked this restaurant, the service was good and the food very well prepared. There is a terrace that looks out over the Bay opposite the car park of the Splindido Hotel. There is an extensive menu of local specialities of grilled meats and fish. The 'steak in lambs intestine' was one that added a bit of flavour to the grill that I enjoyed. There is also parking here which is definitely a bonus. In comparison if you want to eat at said fancy Hotel Splendido opposite, there is no parking if you are a non-resident.
Restaurant Tramontana
The Restaurant Tramontana is situated at the front of the Hotel Splendido looking out over the bay. On the one occasion that we ate there, we sat at a table on the terrace close to the water, and the position, food and service were all superb: definitely one of the best meals we have had in Montenegro.
The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel Restaurant
The Bokeljski Dvori Hotel is recommended as a place to stay in the Bradt Guide to Montenegro. During our visit to Montenegro in 2007, we stopped there for dinner one evening. From the terrace restaurant at the front of the hotel, there is a very extensive view over the bay to Kotor and the surrounding mountains.
We were given a very good meal, and were well looked after by the friendly owners and staff; and we stayed there when we revisited Montenegro in September 2008.

PS2 Review - 'Whiplash'
by Thomas Leaf on Jan. 16, 2004 @ 2:49 a.m. PST | Filed under Reviews
Whiplash is set in a high-tech product testing facility where questionable experiments are conducted on animals. Playing as Spanx, you must use Redmond as a weapon to not only escape, but also to free other enslaved animals and bankrupt the corporation by destroying property. Whiplash combines a unique 'chain' gameplay mechanic with in-depth enemy and environment interaction, rich combat and slapstick humour.

Best sun shade I have used
Reviewed By Dennis H (Redwood City, CA) Reviewed for a 2001 Honda Civic —8/29/2012 7:48 PM
The Covercraft Car Sun Shade fits extremely well and is easy to install. It appears durable and well made.
Reviewed By Roy S (BUFFALO, NY) Reviewed for a 2013 Honda Civic —12/29/2014 7:16 AM
Cover for a cause in pink. The shade was delivered earlier than promised which is a very pleasant surprise. Under promise and over deliver is a great way to go. The sun shade cover fits perfect and we love the idea of a little help for the fight against cancer. We have several survivors in our family and know every little bit helps. The cover is high in quality and will last for a very long time. The reflective side (pink) is also washable which is a nice plus. Thanks for the great job.

There wasn't an update from the Air Force Academy on Sunday as to the extent of the knee injury suffered by starting quarterback Kale Pearson at Falcon Stadium.
Pearson left Saturday's season opener against Colgate with 2:23 remaining in the first half, requiring help to leave the field. He later was taken to the locker room on a cart. With his right leg in a brace, he returned to join his teammates on the field for the celebration of the Falcons' 38-13 victory. Coach Troy Calhoun said during his postgame news conference that Pearson, a junior who made his first collegiate start, would have an MRI as soon as possible. An academy official said Sunday that Pearson's MRI probably would be done Monday or Tuesday.
The Falcons were leading Colgate 14-7 on the way to scoring 38 consecutive points when Pearson suffered the injury. Jaleel Awini, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound sophomore from Rangeview High School, took over for Pearson.
Pearson piloted touchdown drives of 77 and 84 yards against the Raiders before he was injured.
Awini guided the Falcons on touchdown drives of 89 and 88 yards during the second half. The Falcons amassed 409 yards and five touchdowns on the ground and finished with 481 total yards to Colgate's 300 in the teams' first meeting.
Pearson had 15 yards rushing and threw for 46 yards on 5-of-8 passing. Awini completed 2-of-3 passes for 26 yards.
Air Force resumes practice Monday in preparation for Saturday's 1:30 p.m. Mountain West home game against Utah State.

Since 2001 there has been a steadily increasing awareness of discrimination against Muslims based on their religion. Despite the widespread use of the neologism Islamophobia to refer to this phenomenon, this term has been harshly criticized for confounding prejudiced views of Muslims with a legitimate critique of Muslim practices based on secular grounds. In the current research a scale was developed to differentiate Islamoprejudice (based on the influential Islamophobia definition of the British Runnymede Trust) and Secular Critique of Islam. Across two studies, Islamoprejudice was related to explicit and implicit prejudice, right-wing authoritarianism, and social dominance orientation whereas Secular Critique was unrelated to any forms of prejudice but negatively related to religiosity and authoritarianism. The two scales were mostly independent or only moderately related. Importantly, the new Islamoprejudice scale outperformed all other scales in predicting actual opposition versus support for a heatedly debated, newly built mosque. These results demonstrate the necessity to differentiate between Islamoprejudice and Secular Critique in future research on attitudes towards Islam.

I thought the idea was not to increase waste disposal by bulk but to transfer more to recycling. This, I feel, we have done successfully, and still have a little to spare as the requirement by OCC is 50 per cent.
However, two weeks ago, a large, 1,100-litre blue bin appeared in our bin store without any notification or consultation — just an approximately £250 bill!
What are we supposed to put in it?
The idea over all is to cut down on waste in general, not to increase it. These bins are no good for households anyway, as you cannot retrieve anything from them that is accidentally put in — this would mean the whole batch would be contaminated. The smaller ones are much more manageable and, after all, just 370 litres would be spoiled not 1,100 litres.
Having made enquiries, it seems that this has been done by our management in "consultation" with the refuse and recycling department who have said that, if we do not have them, we will have to go to private waste management at a cost of £70 per week. Management also have no business either without consulting the residents but that's another story. I cannot see the logic in this as we are, according to the website, meeting their requirements. It smacks of 'Big Brother' or is it the cash incentive offered by the Government ?

Spacious rooms are filled with amenities and our courteous front desk staff is available 24 hours.
The location was perfect
Service was bad, breakfast was horrible, vending machines empty
Hotel toilet was broken and dirty pee on seat when I arrived. TV was down the first night. No compensation!!!
I've stayed here several times and am always surprised by the 2 star rating. It's clean, close to the highway, and the staff is always friendly. I haven't eaten at the breakfast bar.
They seem to be having some issues with their water system, but they are sure to notify you if there is going to be an outage, and even called the room to make sure we wouldn't be inconvenienced.
Hotel staff-hotel condition. Room rates were way to high for condition of hotel.. This hotel should b rated at 50.00 per night. I've stayed in cheaper hotels in Denver, that were cleaner, better located, nicer staff, cleaner staff(manager was wearing dirty shirt), and all around better environments for less money than this location.
The staff was really great and friendly. Our room was mainly clean!
I was charged twice without any explanation. I did get my money back within 3 days.

An interesting - and potentially nationally transformative - debate has started in Utah. The two candidates in the run-off for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now occupied by Robert Bennett, Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater, have both endorsed the "Peace through Strength Platform" first unveiled on these pages two weeks ago. This platform includes a commitment to maintain "a safe, reliable effective nuclear deterrent, which requires its modernization and testing."
By so doing, the candidates have precipitated a firestorm of criticism from national and local anti-nuclear activists and Utah Democrats in a state which, while solidly conservative and pro-defense, has residents who claim to have been sickened by radiation from atmospheric nuclear testing upwind in Nevada decades ago. The controversy comes against the backdrop of President Obama's determination to pursue "a world without nuclear weapons" - and to have the United States lead toward that goal by exemplary restraint and disarmament.

While South Africa's Black Diamonds continue to move into the more affluent suburbs, it is largely the affordable and middle-class suburbs that are attracting increasing numbers of the country's so-called Black Middle Class (BMC).
This is according to Seeff's branches nationwide. Earlier this year, the UCT Unilever Institute of Strategic Marketing reported that the BMC had more than doubled over the last eight years to around 4.2 million in 2012, up from 1.7 million in 2004.
Home buying among this group is also improving according to the latest FNB Estate Agents Survey. It indicates that previously disadvantaged buyers now account for more than half (53.5 percent) of all home buyers with BMC buyers making up about 32 percent, up from about 23 percent in 2005.
A survey of Seeff's more than 200 branches nationally confirms that there is a notable shift in buyer demographics in the more affordable and middle-class suburbs in the main metropolitan areas. In some instances, more than half of all buyers are now from the BMC demographic group, says Seeff Chairman, Samuel Seeff.
The most active price band is between R500 000 and R1 million and most buyers look for neighbourhoods with good infrastructure including transport and access to schools.
The importance of home ownership cannot be overemphasised, says Seeff. It is the foundation of a stable society and vital to economic stability. It creates security and wealth and, while the positive shift in home ownership within the suburbs is encouraging, the macro-economic landscape is a real impeding factor.
Despite the fact that home ownership is the most affordable that it has been in over three decades, access to finance and the ability to save for a deposit is a major challenge for prospective buyers. While many have the liquidity to service monthly bond repayments, they struggle to get a lump sum together and 100 percent loans, especially for first-time buyers will go a long way to addressing this, he adds.
Within the Cape metropole, some of the most notable shifts in suburban home ownership are in the northern suburbs. Areas such as Kuilsriver and especially Vredelust where homes sell for around R500 000 to R600 000 on average, now attract more than 60 percent BMC buyers, says area agent, Daniella Palmer.
Many work for Eskom and get home loans, something that is really helping. She says they are even beginning to see some buy-to-let buying.
According to area principal, Ryno Beck, Bellville and Parow are also on the shopping list of BMC buyers, largely for its affordable homes priced between R700 000 and R900 000. He says this is a growing buyer demographic, but access to finance remains a barrier.
Johann Groenewald, Seeff's principal for the area, says Goodwood, one of the most centrally located suburbs is another area that has seen an increase in demand, largely for its affordability, excellent infrastructure including good schools and work opportunities. Sectional title units priced between R300 000 and R600 000, and family homes in the R700 000 to R1 million price band have been the most in demand.
In the greater False Bay area, Mitchell's Plain, where homes are selling for on average between R300 000 and R500 000, has seen the highest prevalence of BMC buyers moving into the area, says Seeff's manager for the area, Gary Grobbelaar.
Johannesburg's southern suburbs have seen the largest shift in home buying according to Seeff's principals for the area, Shawn and Toni Mackrell. Aside from the good infrastructure and transport networks, the area is also favoured for its close proximity to Soweto. With average house prices of between R500 000 and R800 000, suburbs such as Naturena, Ormonde, Meredale, Alan Manor, Kibler Park, Mondeor, Ridgeway, Crown Gardens, Southdale and Robertsham have all seen a significant rise in BMC home ownership.
In the more upper-class suburbs like Glenvista, Mulbarton, Bassonia and Meyersdal where homes typically cost between R1.5 million and R3 million, they have seen a shift of about 25 percent to BMC buyers. Upmarket security estates such as Aspen Estates, Eye of Africa, Bassonia Rock, Meyersdal Eco Estate and Meyersdal Nature Estate are also attracting BMC buyers looking for an exclusive and secure lifestyle.
According to Seeff's principal for the area, Tony Ketcher, the greater Randburg area too has seen a rise in BMC buyers. Most are middle-income earners that work in the financial and corporate sectors in the Sandton and Midrand areas. Affordability remains vital with the R500 000 to R1 million price range being most in demand.
Centurion area principal, Steve van Wyk, says more than half of all buyers in the area are now from the BMC demographic group. Especially government employees that qualify for housing loans have been buying in middle-class suburbs such as Lyttelton, Wierda Park, Eldoraigne and even in upmarket gated estates such as Midstream, Cornwall Hill, Blue Valley Golf Estate and Irene Farm Villages Estate.
The bulk of sales are in the R800 000 to R1.5 million price range, but upper-income buyers are paying up to R6.5 million for a luxury home in a secure estate. Aside from the excellent infrastructure and schools, the central location and access to Pretoria, Midrand and Johannesburg is a big draw card.
While still only constituting about 20 percent of buyers in Sandton's suburbs, areas such as Bryanston and Dainfern are a popular option with upper-income and Black Diamond buyers, says principal, Charles Vining. Both of these suburbs are home to a number of secure estates with prices that range from around R4 million up to R20 million for a top-end luxury home. The close proximity to the Sandton CBD and selection of private schools in the area, add to the attraction, he says.
Close to 60 percent of buyers in the Richards Bay area on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast are now from the BMC demographic, says area principal, Silven Chetty. A big driver of the demand is attributable to six major industrial companies in the area that employ close to 5 000 employees. There is significant demand, but many prospective buyers are battling to secure finance, a major barrier to home ownership, he says.
Seeff's Polokwane principal, Manie Oosthuizen, says the deposit requirement is a big challenge for BMC buyers in the area. Many of them have the liquidity to afford the monthly bond repayments, but just cannot get a deposit together and trying to save for this will take years and, by then, property prices will probably make homes out of reach. While we understand the need for a deposit, waiving this for first-time buyers with excellent credit records certainly will go a long way to facilitating more home ownership.
While holiday and investment home buying remains on the low side, Seeff Knysna principal, Billy Rautenbach, says there has been good interest especially from professionals in the Pezula developments with a few vacant stands selling recently. Many of the buyers that they are working for require mortgage assistance and getting bonds is a real drawback, she adds.
Seeff Dolphin Coast sales director, Tim Johnson, says the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast is one of the fastest growing investment and residential destinations in the country and especially the lifestyle estates in the area are attracting significant interest from BMC buyers.
Most in demand, are affordable and secure sectional title and freehold properties in estates such as Palm Lakes and Sheffield Manor while Black Diamond buyers are heading to the Zimbali Coastal Resort.

Kurz proved the polyomino equivalent of this conjecture as A122133 and abstracts: "In this article we prove a conjecture of Bezdek, Brass and Harborth concerning the maximum volume of the convex hull of any facet-to-facet connected system of n unit hypercubes in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d=2 we enumerate the extremal polyominoes and determine the set of possible areas of the convex hull for each n."

a(n) = Floor((n^2 + 14*n/3 + 1)/6).
a(10) = 24 because floor((10^2 + 14*10/3 + 1)/6) = floor(24.6111111) = 24.
