Monty Python Leadership Lessons
We were setting up the classic "jumping bridal party" photo and I said, "When I count to three, everyone jump."
"Wait," someone said. "Do we actually jump on three, or is it one-two-three and then we jump, like on four?"
"Jump on three," I decided. As they moved into position I offhandedly said, "Three shall be the number thou shall count…" and almost everyone laughed.
Recognizable quotes can be extremely handy. One, they're like a verbal shorthand that explains in one or two sentences what normally takes much longer. Two, an appropriate reference can instantly create common ground with others. And if nothing else, muttering a line under your breath can be a great way to let off a little steam or gain a little perspective when you're frustrated or upset. Here are more quotes you can use in a variety of professional situations courtesy of those seminal business thinkers, the Pythons: "What have the Romans ever done for us?"

Rowe V Electoral Commissioner-Evolution or Creationism?
Twomey, Anne, University of Queensland Law Journal
The majority judgments in Rowe v Electoral Commissioner are extraordinary on a number of grounds. First, they propound a theory of constitutional evolution that rivals both originalism and progressivism as a new form of constitutional interpretation. Secondly, they undermine both the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and the role of the people in constitutional change by effectively permitting the Parliament, through the enactment of legislation, to change the meaning of the Constitution and to entrench laws without a referendum under s 128 of the Constitution. Thirdly, they appear to impose upon Parliament a constitutional obligation to facilitate the breach of valid laws, which on anyone's terms is a very odd outcome.
The case concerned the cut-off date for the enrolment of voters prior to the 2010 election. Since 1911, enrolment has been compulsory for all people eligible to vote at Commonwealth elections. (1) Failure to enrol or to register a change of address within the requisite period is currently a criminal offence. (2) From 1902 until 1983, (3) the Commonwealth electoral rolls were closed upon the date of the issue of the election writs. No new enrolments or change of address of enrolment were dealt with in the period from the evening of the day of the issue of the writs until after polling day. Equally, no challenge could be made to the validity of enrolments during that period. As a matter of practice, from the 1930s, elections tended to be announced some days before the election writs were issued, (4) with the consequence that people had an opportunity to enrol or correct their enrolment details before the writs were issued. This did not affect the application of the law, which closed the roll on the evening of the day the writs were issued, regardless of whether or not there had been a 'grace period' between the election announcement and the issue of the writs.
In 1983, Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser called a snap double dissolution election in the hope of capitalising on the Hayden-Hawke leadership tension. He wanted to hold as short a campaign as possible, so the writs were issued the day after the election was announced. A legal challenge to the closure of the rolls, relying on s 41 of the Constitution, failed, (5) but it caused the new Hawke Labor Government to change the law so that the rolls were closed seven days after the issue of the writs. (6)
This law was later amended in 2006 under the Howard Coalition Government in accordance with a report of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, (7) which gave two grounds for making the change. The first was that permitting last minute changes to the electoral roll, when there is no time for them to be properly checked by the Electoral Commission, is conducive to electoral fraud. (8) Secondly, it was contended that the seven day grace period discourages people from enrolling or changing their enrolment when they are obliged to do so, (9) leading to the Electoral Commission wasting much time and money in attempting to get people to fix their enrolment details. (10) As enrolment figures are also necessary to determine when there needs to be a redistribution of seats, (11) having hundreds of thousands of people waiting until an election is called before they update their enrolment address details has the potential to distort the distribution of seats (creating malapportionment by laziness). The amendments restored the pre-1983 position for new enrolments, providing that the roll closed at 8pm on the day of the issue of the writs. However, it also allowed enrolment changes to be made up to three days after the issue of the writs, being more generous in this regard than the 1902-1983 position. (12)
The 2007 election was conducted on the basis of the revised law. Prime Minister Howard announced on 14 October 2007 that an election would be held and the writs were issued on 17 October 2007, giving three days for people to enrol. …

Senate Approves Amendment to Raise Debt Ceiling by $1.9 Trillion
WASHINGTON—The Senate approved legislation Thursday increasing the federal government's borrowing limit by $1.9 trillion, enough to enable the Treasury to pay its bills through 2010.
The 60-39 vote was strictly along party lines with no Republicans joining the Democratic majority to approve the legislation.
Once the increase is signed into law, the federal government will be able to borrow up to $14.3 trillion, by far the highest amount of debt it has ever held on its books. The current limit of around $12.4 trillion would have been breached by the end of February.
House lawmakers must still take up the legislation and are expected to do so next week, according to a senior House Democratic aide.
The increase comes just over a month after Congress upped the borrowing cap by $290 billion from its previous limit of $12.1 trillion.
A vote to increase the debt ceiling is politically difficult but is largely symbolic. There is little chance Congress would allow the government to breach its debt limit. If there were to occur, the ramifications for the financial markets and the U.S. fiscal position could be disastrous.
Financial markets globally were roiled in November, when the government of Dubai, a much smaller entity than the U.S., warned it was unable to continue servicing its debt.
Under that scenario, the U.S. government would likely lose its prized top-shelf credit rating, be forced to pay substantially higher interest rates to its creditors and the value of the U.S. dollar could plunge.
Legislation raising the borrowing limit includes a measure requiring budgetary rules requiring every dollar in new mandatory spending be offset by new revenue or cuts elsewhere in the budget.
In the 1990s, the so-called "Pay-as-you-Go" rules were in place when the federal budget ran a healthy surplus, and Democrats hope its reinstatement will eventually lead to a similar result.
President Barack Obama had pushed for the passage of the pay-go rules, arguing they would go some way to rein in federal spending and the burgeoning budget deficit.
The federal budget deficit in fiscal 2009 was a record $1.4 trillion, and this week the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office forecast the fiscal 2010 deficit to be only slightly lower at $1.35 trillion.
Underscoring the difficulties the president faces in his drive to austerity, lawmakers rejected a separate measure that would have limited increases in discretionary spending by Congress.
In his State of the Union Address Wednesday night, Mr. Obama proposed to freeze discretionary spending for three years starting in fiscal 2011. In his speech, Mr. Obama pledged to veto any spending bills that increase discretionary spending during that period.
But given lawmakers weren't even willing to approve limits to discretionary spending, they may very well be reluctant to agree to a complete freeze later in the year.
The Senate defeated a measure that would have established a commission mandated to highlight duplicative or wasteful spending by federal government departments and agencies. On Tuesday, lawmakers voted down the creation of a commission to recommend the spending cuts and tax increases necessary to move the federal budget deficit back toward manageable levels.
Mr. Obama pledged to create such a commission using his executive authority. Lawmakers of both parties have said this approach wouldn't be effective as the president can't oblige Congress to hold a vote on such a commission's recommendation.
Taking the task of resolving the long-term fiscal imbalances from Congress' hands is an idea that has been around for years. As the nation's fiscal position has worsened, the concept has gained steam.

indicate is appropriate. Acknowledging the inconsistency between their egalitarian ideals and their specific responses toward Blacks should, according to Rokeach, lead to self-dissatisfaction, and may instigate self-regulatory processes aimed at reducing such inconsistencies ( Monteith, 1993).
Applying the value self-confrontation technique successfully with high- prejudice people may require an additional step. Monteith and Walters ( 1998) found that low-prejudice individuals were more likely than their high-prejudice counterparts to construe egalitarianism in terms of equal opportunity and protection of the rights of all people. In contrast, high-prejudice individuals construed egalitarianism in terms of the Protestant Work Ethic (i.e., getting only what one works for). Moreover, construing egalitarianism as equal opportunity led to a sense of moral obligation to live up to one's personal standards regarding how to respond to Blacks. Such feelings of moral obligation may be necessary to promote long-term change. Thus, changing the way high-prejudice people view egalitarianism, so that they see it as meaning equal opportunity for all, may be critical for Rokeach's procedure to be maximally effective.
Rokeach's value self-confrontation procedure is interesting because it does not explicitly challenge people's specific prejudiced attitudes, but instead it provides a condition under which people can discover for themselves the implications that their values have for their reactions to Black people. It may be the subtlety of the technique that produces its effectiveness -- and also the fact that it allows people to consider privately the possibility that their prejudiced attitudes may be unfair. The privacy of this technique may circumvent the kind of anger and resentment displayed by individuals who are highly sensitive to antiprejudice social pressure and who do not privately embrace those views (i.e., low-internal, high-external individuals).
Although the challenges associated with reducing prejudiced attitudes remain daunting, we are optimistic that such changes can be created. By understanding the importance of anger in the process of resistance and backlash, we may be better able to harness normative pressure and combine it with efforts designed to help develop internalized nonprejudiced beliefs. Our hope is that, over time, these efforts will be successful in encouraging high-prejudice people to renounce prejudice and join their internally motivated counterparts in trying to break the prejudice habit.

Who would want them with the premium already to this stock price and the Debt on its balance sheet. Wait til next week when we see this under 80 again.
How much debt do they have on their balance sheet, Krani?
They only pay $5 million a quarter in interest expense. That doesn't seem like much compared to over $900 in revenues. How do they get away with paying so little interest if they have sooooo much debt?

INDIANAPOLIS – The Eastern Conference became a lot more interesting after Derrick Rose's successful return to the Chicago Bulls.
The former league most valuable player scored 13 points in 20 minutes in an 82-76 exhibition victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
"Same old Derrick Rose," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of the point guard. "He looked great."
Rose led the Bulls to the No. 1 seed in the East two seasons ago before he tore his left ACL during the playoffs in April 2012, then missed all of last season while recovering. He said he had some nerves Saturday that quickly went away.

"I felt great," Rose said. "I felt normal, I felt the way I've been playing in practice. I'm just trying to get my timing back."
He was at his lightning-fast best against the Pacers in the exhibition opener for both teams, breaking away for several layups and converting a steal and dunk in the third quarter. He appeared unafraid of contact, constantly challenging Indiana's large front line.
"That's the way he played before the injury, and he's back to playing like that," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "And for him, that's his game. The speed, the quickness, the power to go along with it — that's what makes him so special and unique. There's no one like him."
Rose committed four turnovers. He said he was going too fast, and his coach agreed.
"The speed at which he plays, you've got to get accustomed to," Thibodeau said. "His teammates have to get used to it again, and he has to get used to it. But, overall, I thought he played very, very well."
Indiana's Danny Granger returned after missing most of last season with a left-knee injury. He finished with six points on 2-for-10 shooting in 29 minutes.
"He was a little rusty, and I wouldn't expect anything but that," Vogel said. "His game condition is in the final part of his recovery."
Taj Gibson had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls.
Paul George and David West each scored 14 points and Roy Hibbert added 11 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers.
Rose, 25, sat on the bench praying in the moments before the opening tip and had some contact early in the game.
"They hit me in practice," Rose said. "I'm used to getting hit now. Falling, slipping — I got that out of the way."

Naked doughnuts. That's what these are! But the funny thing about a naked doughnut is it's not naughty until you actually cover it with a little sugar, so of course, that is exactly what I did!
I reduced some fresh apple cider down to about half it's volume, stirred in a little karo syrup and powdered sugar and started dunking them deep in that bowl of sinful goodness and coated them with that warm fall flavor.
The Apple Cider Glazed Doughnut recipe is on on allrecipes.com and is a recipe provided by Fleischmanns. This is yet another recipe from our October assignment of recipes to make and review. I have made a lot of recipes this month and I can't say I've made a single one that has disappointed me! The Pumpkin Danish Braid was one of my favorites, but I think this one is my very favorite! Its definitely a treat that I don't make often so it was received with appreciation on Grumpy's end also. He also commented that this particular recipe was the best one I'd ever made. He may have been a little on the hungry side when he made that comment, but I'll take it!
Since I don't make doughnuts often, I decided that I also had to make a maple frosting for a few of them. A maple frosted doughnut is a favorite of several people in my family and it would have been a sin for me to have made raised yeast doughnuts and not coated a few with some of that frosting made with family made pure maple syrup! Do I ever love that stuff and am I ever glad that we have close family who makes it!
If you don't make homemade doughnuts because you are afraid of the grease, or because you think its a lot of work, then please change your mind. These were actually very easy to make and I used my super large skillet and candy thermometer to gauge the temp while cooking them. I used about enough oil for it to be 2 inches deep in the skillet and since it was such a large skillet I was able to fry about 6 doughnuts at a time and was done in no time flat.

If using Kitchen aid, knead with dough hook or knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 4 to 6 minutes). Cover counter lightly with flour and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Deflate dough and roll out on a lightly floured counter into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. II used a biscuit cutter and for the hold I used my apple corer from Pampered Chef! Worked perfectly!). Cut out center with a 1-inch cookie cutter or poke hole through the center with finger. Place doughnuts about 2 to 3 inches apart on lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Re-roll and cut remaining dough. Cover doughnuts and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 350 degrees F (this is where my thermoter varies – it states to heat dough for doughnuts to 75 degrees F, which is what I did). Fry 2 to 3 doughnuts at a time, turning occasionally until well browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels (I use a paper grocery bag like my mom always did). Cool a few minutes, then dunk the doughnuts in the glaze and sit on wire rack. This is where it is good to have wax paper under your rack to catch drips and you don't make a mess on your counter. Serve warm.
For Apple Cider Glaze: Boil apple cider in a small saucepan until reduced in half, about 7 to 10 minutes. I did this while frying the doughnuts and it was ready by the time I was ready to dunk.
For Maple Frosting: Melt butter in microwave, stir in powdered sugar and maple syrup. Frost doughnut and decorate as desired.
Prep time: 1 hour 35 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 1 hour 50 mins Yield: 2 dozen

Tanya Boyd Speech Pathology
TBSP is now an accredited member of the Early Intervention Provider Panel (HCWA), with eligible clients now being able to access FaHCSIA funding for speech therapy services.
As a mother of young children myself, I love watching them grow, find themselves and develop their unique personalities.
For similar reasons I find working with children very rewarding. Helping them to relate and communicate and building their confidence along the way. The amazing, sometimes even funny, things they say or do.
I pride myself on gaining a rapport with all the children I work with (from preschool right through to secondary school) to help them develop a facet of skills to assist in their life journey.
I hope that I can be of assistance and look forward to working with you and your family.

Lessons in Natural (Organic) Gardening
Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Home gardening is very challenging for me. I love the idea of supplementing my diet with fresh garden veggies, but it has presented obstacles that I didn't anticipate. When I lived in an apartment, I experimented with container vegetables.
This was great in the spring, but the summer Georgia temperatures dried out the soil faster than I could maintain.
We moved into a house, and one of my first projects was building a raised bed planter. I planted three varieties of tomatoes, jalapenos, and bell peppers.
The deeper soil retained moisture much better in the sweltering Southern heat. However, the deeper soil also encouraged taller plant growth, which I didn't intend. I covered it with netting to keep squirrels from digging in the soil, but the tomatoes rapidly grew into an unmanageable, tangled mess. While the netting kept birds and squirrels out, it came under attack from bugs and other pests.
On the bright side, we ended up with a bountiful harvest of tomatoes. I have not eaten store bought tomatoes in three months.
I've focused on 'organic' gardening without chemical pesticides or fertilizers. I was dismayed by the savageness of the bug attacks on my plants. I tried several varieties of 'organic' pesticides, but they had limited effect. I pretty much gave up on pest control. I figured I lost the war on my plants, and the bugs won.
Curiously, over the past few weeks, I noticed a decline in chewed up leaves.
Over the weekend, I trimmed back the over growth. I'm planning on planting a new batch of crops in the next week. I was delighted to see earth worms have moved into my planter, as I noticed them digging to safety as I pulled roots.
I also saw what I believe to be the cause of my declining bug population: spiders and frogs!
I am an admitted arachnophobe, but mostly when they are in my house. I'm cool with them outside - where they should be! Not slinking around my work desk. I noted a couple of small frogs leaping away as I removed the spent plants. It seems the bugs attracted predators. Nature in balance.
When I replant my garden bed, I'm going to focus more on planting 'companion' plants to deter pests. I'm also going to use cedar chips for mulch, which should also act as a natural insect repellant.
Traditional farming techniques of plant diversity and crop rotation in backyard gardening seems to be the best. The ultimate organic gardening is when the plant health is managed by nature. When garden predators manage the pests and garden soil nutrients are replenished at a rate slowing depletion, then there isn't a big demand for topical pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Now that I have learned a little more, my next crop should be even better.

I love doing Organic gardening mainly because I am too lazy to use any fertilizer or any other stuff. I have started to use a mold growth inhibitor since that is was kills my tomato plants early every year. No real problem with bugs where I am.
I use only old horse manure for my fertalizer and it works wonders. I also put down a layer of newspaper and put grass clippings on for my mulch.
It is so rewarding to grow your own food.

Substitute 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided, for the VELVEETA. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese over rice mixture in pie pan; cover with foil. Bake 25 min. Remove foil; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese and continue baking, uncovered, 15 min.
To prevent cheese from sticking to foil, spray foil with cooking spray.

Don't think people followed the instructions correctly. Pre-heat the oven and the meat will be cooked. How do you think Meatloaf is cooked? Rice was cooked fine and sauce was just enough. SEASON the beef as it is dry and bland otherwise...
My family loves this, and it is sooo easy to make!
I added some onion, green pepper and 1 clove garlic (minced) to the meat. Think the rice needs maybe 1/2 c. more spaghetti sauce added to it. Good flavor and very quick!

Microsoft, Yahoo make moves toward open social networks
Posted by Benjamin J. Romano
Yahoo announced it's joining with Google and MySpace to form a foundation backing "the sustainable and open development of the OpenSocial initiative and related intellectual property." Meanwhile, Microsoft announced that it's working with five social networks, including Facebook, to allow users to easily move their contacts between the networks and Windows Live.
The OpenSocial platform is an effort to establish and maintain a "community-governed specification for building social applications across the Web," according to Yahoo's news release this morning.
That would solve a problem for Web developers, according to the release:
"Before OpenSocial, if a developer built a 'favorite photos' application to work on one social network, it would have to be built all over again to work on another site. OpenSocial tackles this problem at its technology roots, providing common 'plumbing' that lets social applications run on many different websites without requiring duplicate work from either developers or the websites."
The specifications developed through OpenSocial will be made available under a Creative Commons copyright license and intellectual property related to the effort will be managed by this new OpenSocial Foundation.
Caroline McCarthy at CNET has comment from Facebook -- the hugely popular social network that has become a major platform for application developers. The company has not committed to OpenSocial does not intend to join the foundation.
Last fall, Microsoft bought a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook for $240 million.
(Update, 12:54 p.m.: I asked Microsoft for a comment whether the company is planning to participate in the OpenSocial effort or the OpenSocial Foundation. The response? Not right now. Here's the official line, attributed to John Richards, director of Windows Live Platform: "We constantly evaluate our involvement in industry groups and look for opportunities where it's appropriate to join the dialogue, but have nothing to announce at this time.")
Today, Microsoft is taking steps to make a key piece of the social networking puzzle -- contacts lists -- interoperable across several networks. In a blog post this morning, John Richards, director of Windows Live Platform, announced:
"[W]e will be working with Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Tagged and LinkedIn to exchange functionally similar Contacts APIs, allowing us to create a safe, secure two-way street for users to move their relationships between our respective services. Along with these collaborations, Microsoft is introducing a new website at www.invite2messenger.net that people can visit to invite their friends from our partner social networks to join their Windows Live Messenger contact list."
The move is aimed at improving data portability among online services owned by different companies -- a sore issue for online privacy advocates. A key question is who owns the data you enter into social networks, online e-mail and instant messenger services?
"We firmly believe that we are simply stewards of customers' data and that customers should be able to choose how they control and share their data," Richards wrote.
Kip Kniskern, a blogger at LiveSide.net, which closely tracks Microsoft's efforts in this area, explains what this development means in this post:
"Currently, in order to populate a social network with information about your friends from say your Messenger buddies list or your Windows Live Hotmail account, you would need to provide your user info (e-mail address) AND your password to the social network, which would then store in some fashion for some length of time that information as it logged into your mail or messenger account and imported your address book. Not an inherently safe operation, but that's the way it has been done."
Users have also taken matters into their own hands, running "screen-scraping" scripts that pull their contacts from one place to another. But these methods, Richards wrote, put "customers at risk for phishing attacks, identity fraud, and spam." The Windows Live Contacts API is a safer alternative, he wrote.
Kniskern gave Microsoft props for this move.
"While there might be some advantage to partnerships such as these being in effect promotions of the Windows Live services on other sites, the security gained by doing the right thing here is to be commended," he wrote.

Scleral Buckling: After Surgery
A scleral buckle is a piece of silicone sponge, rubber, or semi-hard plastic. In scleral buckling surgery, the buckle is placed against the outer surface of the eye and sewn onto the eye to keep it in place. The buckle pushes the sclera toward the middle of the eye, relieving the pull on the retina and allowing the tear to settle against the wall of the eye.
Extreme cold (cryopexy) or light (laser photocoagulation) is used to scar the area around the tear. The scarring helps keep this area from moving so that a seal can form between the retina and the layer beneath it. In most cases, the buckle will stay on the eye forever.

Most Americans, when asked if they are affected by advertising, will say "not really." They say they skip the print ads in magazine, ignore the ones on the street, mute TV commercials, and are generally too savvy to be swayed by their messages.
Here's some data illustrating the not-me phenomenon. The Kaiser Family Foundation asked 15- to 17-year-olds whether they and their friends were influenced by sexual content on TV.
Seventy-two percent of teens say that sexual content on TV affects their friends "a lot" or "somewhat":
But only 22 percent say that sexual content on TV affects them "a lot" or "somewhat":
Advertisers know that most Americans are wrong about whether advertising affects them. That's why they spent $117 billion in 2009 trying to convince you to buy their product. It works. So it must be affecting somebody, right?

Nun's Crusade Inspires Oscar-Nominated Film
When the red carpet rolls out for the Academy Awards on Sunday, 84-year-old Sister Rose Thering will be watching the ceremony with interest. Thering is the subject of Sister Rose's Passion, a short documentary nominated for an Oscar.
Directed by Oren Jacoby, the film traces Thering's struggles to reform the Roman Catholic Church and fight anti-Semitism. As a young nun, Thering challenged the church doctrine that had blamed Jews for the death of Jesus for thousands of years. Her work had a direct bearing on the historic Vatican II Council that formerly changed the church's position.
NPR's Jennifer Ludden speaks with Jacoby about Thering and the film.

I took my 9 year old daughter to see Mulan which was performed by the Berkeley Playhouse Youth Company (grades 4-7). I thought it was well done and my daughter loved it. The venue has a lot of charm and is comfortable. The set was nice and there was live music to accompany the cast. The kids were all very professional and knew their parts well. We had a good time and look forward to going again.

A rousing and exciting retelling of the ancient Chinese folk-tale about a female warrior who hides her gender and risks all to help her country beat back the invading Huns. Mulan Jr. is packed with action and charming mischief, and is a heartwarming celebration of culture, honor and a fighting spirit. You will be up on your feet with favorites like "Reflection," "Honor to Us All," and "I'll Make a Man Out of You." Directed by Kimberly Dooley, with musical direction by Phil Gorman.

When Vanessa Wester decided to start writing she found an outlet for her imagination. It is the best way she can think of to express herself and escape from everyday life.
She has a lot of eggs in her basket since she is a qualified Secondary School Mathematics Teacher, ASA Swimming Teacher, has a degree in Accounting & Law, has been a competitive swimmer and enjoys art, singing and drama. In addition, she is bilingual in English and Spanish, and speaks some Dutch, since she was born and raised in Gibraltar and has lived in Rotterdam.
However, since her son was born, she has been a stay at home mum who gives up a lot of her time towards voluntary organisations.

Evolution Doesn't Come Without Change... - The review of Complications (The Evolution Trilogy)
This is the second book from The Evolution Trilogy by Vanessa Wester. I was already in love with the main characters of the story from Hybrid, but this story took us through the changes experienced in the new evolution of humankind by Steven. How far would you go for the woman (or man) you love? The characters are real and you spend the better part of the time wondering about the changes Steven is going through, the choices he makes and contemplating alongside him if the choices he's made are right. In addition, you learn more about Steven's biological family. Without spoilers, the relationship of his grandparents is amazing and beautiful. Going through the emotions with the characters in the story is easy to slip into, you feel the confusion, the happiness, the joy and the pain right alongside them if you allow yourself to get swept away like I did. It truly is about life and that sometimes there are complications you never could have seen coming, you have to confront what happens in life, even if it's not what you anticipate and everyone has questions on their choices. I read it in one sitting and couldn't put it down, at the end I was left conflicted I wanted to read the third book in the series, but I also didn't want to rush this series to the end, knowing there was only one book left.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because aside from a single sentence, the story was nearly flawless. The characters and story had me enchanted from day one and the plot unfolded at just the right pace. This isn't your typical paranormal or vampire story, but it will keep you on your toes and isn't full of "fluff", but has a lot of deeper issues going on in the sidelines along with the main plot. When I found out this was the authors debut trilogy I couldn't believe it. I can't wait to see what else Vanessa writes in the remainder of this trilogy and beyond.

Review by:
S. A. Williams
on March 27, 2013 :
'Complications,' the second book in the Evolution Trilogy, picks up where 'Hybrid' left off. We rejoin Steven as he begins his journey away from the "community" in the Amazon with his mother and grandparents; his ultimate goal being to rekindle his love with Caitlin. As predicted by the title, complications ensue. The plot is a bit slower at first, but it picks up quickly enough.
Much like 'Hybrid,' my primary source of enjoyment was the plot line that Wester has developed 'Complications.' In similar fashion to the plot of the first book, the reader follows Steven's own interesting journey as he discovers more detail about himself and the other "vampires," how they came into being, and how they differ from the traditional vampire--and again, we only learn these details as Steven himself learns them. For me, this allowed some connection with Steven as my questions were answered in tandem with his own.
Structuring the plot in this way, however, took me out of the story on a couple of occasions. Steven's character (and eventually Caitlin's) become inconsistent at times throughout the narrative--this seems clearly aimed at demonstrating their own confusion and adaptation as they undergo what is an unpredictable change (and it would be incorrect to assume that their characters would remain unchanged throughout that, surely), but I'm not sure this device worked as well as intended, at least not for this reader.
Wester's prose is, as it was in 'Hybrid,' a bit stiff/awkward for my taste. The book as a whole has some editing needs (certainly even mass market books contain errors, don't get me wrong, but here there are some obvious ones that need attention). I found the dialogue in 'Complications' to be, for the most part, a bit more natural than it was in 'Hybrid,' which was a positive for me.
But, it's notable that the criticism I'm offering must be taken in context--specifically the context that overall, this was a worthwhile read. I enjoyed the story arc, and the book left me anxious to read the next installment of this trilogy (I believe Wester is writing it now). If you're a picky reader, you may see issues where I've noted above, but for the general audience (and certainly this book's target audience) I would recommend this one. It provides that ongoing 'I-must-know-what-happens' feel that's always wonderful in the second part of a series.

OKC Barons notebook: Colten Teubert taken to hospital
The AHL playoffs have been rough for Barons defenseman Colten Teubert.
Last season, he was injured in the first round against Hamilton and missed the last three games of the six-game series.
In the third period of Tuesday night's Game 4, Teubert took a shot to the face underneath his shield and did not return.
After the game, Teubert was transported to a local hospital.
Teubert skated off under his own power.
Barons coach Todd Nelson said he didn't see where the shot hit Teubert.
"He's been a big part of the defense corps," Mark Arcobello said. "That's a big loss for us if he misses time."
A long layoff before the next series begins could help.
"He's a tough guy," Teemu Hartikainen said. "Hopefully he can come back when we get going again."
Three stars
1. Mark Arcobello, Barons
Arcobello, using Tyler Pitlick as a decoy, beat Mike Brodeur top shelf on his glove side for the game's first goal and later added an assist.
2. Tyler Pitlick, Barons
Centering one of the most productive lines for the team of late, Pitlick assisted on Arcobello's goal and Dylan Yeo's goal and was plus-2.
3. Dylan Yeo, Barons
Yeo scored his first goal of the series nearly midway through the second, putting the Barons up for good, 3-2.
Tambellini, other Oilers officials in attendance
Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini and several other members of the team's front office were in Oklahoma City for Tuesday's game.
Tambellini just returned from the IIHF under-18 world championships in the Czech Republic.
Success in Oklahoma City is key to building toward success in Edmonton, Tambellini said.
"In pro hockey and pro sports period, you've got to learn how to win and it's a big jump from college or Canadian juniors," Tambellini said. "We brought not only veterans here but veterans that had a great track record on and off the ice and they've been great with this team."
He also praised the job Barons coach Todd Nelson has done with the team.
"He's been really consistent in helping these guys become better players every day," Tambellini said. "And he's done it the right way. There are a lot of different levels of athlete here and he's done a great job of handling that."
