In a Better World (Haevnen) Movie Reviews
User reviews on In a Better World (Haevnen)
This is a drama directed by Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier which has won an Academy award for the best foreign language film. I think that the film was interesting and it definitely had some good points and absolutely wonderful acting, but i do not think it was worth the Academy Award because it was not exceptional. Like I said before, the acting in the film was phenomenal and William Johnk Nielsen and Markus Rygaard definitely need to be recognized for the amazing job they have done with their characters. The film also had very lovely cinematography which showed Africa and Denmark in a very realistic and interesting way. The dialogue in the film was very good as well, overall technically the movie was very good but i have missed the intrigue and it did not arouse interest in me.

On Friday, May 23, one of the greatest achievements in the history of off-road racing will occur on the world's most famous race track, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, when the Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS series helps to kick off the Indianapolis 500 weekend during Coors Light Carb Day. The Menards at the Brickyard Formula Off-Road by TRAXXAS race will take place on a modified course on the front straight of the famed 2.5-mile oval and a portion of the infield road course.
"Coors Light Carb Day is a fan favorite at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway because it combines racing and other entertainment in one afternoon and the addition of the TRAXXAS series to our schedule provides further excitement during the day," said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president. "The Stadium Super Trucks race often with the Verizon IndyCar Series and produce an incredibly exciting style of racing everywhere they run and we look forward to seeing them put on a show at IMS."
The Formula Off-Road Presented by Traxxas series features identically prepared trucks, which are made to resemble their scaled-down TRAXXAS radio-control-car counterparts. Like their TRAXXAS namesake, the trucks are designed to take flight and withstand aggressive driving, however, unlike RC trucks, they produce 600 horsepower generating speeds greater than 130 miles per hour.
The opportunity to race at the Brickyard will also mark the third time in 2014 the TRAXXAS series will race with the Verizon IndyCar Series, and marks the return of series-founder Robby Gordon to competition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"My first trip to Indy as a competitor was in 1993 driving for A.J. Foyt," said Gordon, who is a 10-time Indianapolis 500 competitor and a 12-time Brickyard 400 driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Indianapolis. "I grew up watching Rick Mears, A.J. and others race at the Speedway and dreamed of driving there, but I never imagined we would race off-road trucks at Indy. I have a lot of great memories from Indianapolis and this will be another one added to the list."
The Menards at the Brickyard Formula Off-Road by TRAXXAS race on Coors Light Carb Day will be broadcast on NBCSN June 13 at midnight EDT.
The schedule for Coors Light Carb Day is:
11 a.m. Verizon IndyCar Series Practice
12:30 p.m. Indy Lights Freedom 100 Race
2 p.m. Tag Heuer Pit Stop Competition
3:15 p.m. Menards at the Brickyard Formula Off-Road by Traxxas Practice
3:30 p.m. Coors Light Carb Day Concert with Sammy Hagar and the Wabos and Sublime With Rome
4:40 p.m. Menards at the Brickyard Formula Off-Road by TRAXXAS Race
Continuing a Memorial Day weekend TV tradition that began in 1965, ABC will air the Indianapolis 500 for the 50th consecutive year on Sunday, May 25. The telecast of the 98th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing begins with a one-hour pre-race show at 11 a.m. ET with the green flag waving at 12:12 p.m.

Ethiopian teen Tsegaye Mekonnen shocked the running world with his win at the Dubai Marathon today, running the race in 2:04.32. It was his first marathon.
Prior to the Dubai Marathon, Mekonnen had successfully competed in several shorter races, including 62:41 half marathon last September. He also took fifth place at the 5,000 meters at the world junior track championships.
With his win at 18 years old, Mekonnen is now considered the world's junior best, although the International Association of Athletics Federations doesn't officially maintain such a record. Eric Ndiema of Kenya held the fastest time previously with 2:06.07.
Given the aggressive pace set by the lead pack early on in the race, Mekonnen felt that a more reasonable pace could have resulted in a better overall race time for him.
"The pace was changing a lot during the first half, which was quite tough. I think I could have run faster with an even pace," said Mekonnen.
"But I am of course very happy and proud of my performance. I had no idea about the world junior record, so this is a bonus for me."
Mekonnen's time was only nine seconds off of the course record, which was set in 2012 by Ayele Abshero.

A man told police he found his girlfriend's 3-year-old son unresponsive Tuesday. But instead of calling 911, Mr. Christopher E. Truett called the child's mother and waited for her get home before calling for help.
The child was pronounced dead less than an hour later and Mr. Truett was caught and arrested after running away, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.
The investigation began around 11 a.m. when deputies responded to a medical call at 3639 Roseman Landing.
The medical call was in reference to a 3-year-old child who was unresponsive.
Mr. Truett, of Butts County, was babysitting when he found little Wyatt Pruitt unresponsive, the sheriff's spokesman Deputy Douglas Rainwater said. He declined to say where the child was found.
Investigators said Mr. Truett called the boy's mother, Ms. Dawn Schutts, and waited until she reached home before calling 911.
Ms. Schutts then took the phone and based on the operator's instruction began to perform CPR on her son.
The 3-year-old male had supposedly been found unresponsive by the mother's boyfriend, Christopher
E.Truett, 25, of Butts County. A call was made to 911 by Truett and then the child's mother, Dawn Schutts completed the 911 call and started CPR on her child.
"Truett then fled the residence and ran into some nearby woods," Deputy Rainwater said.
Deputies found him shortly before 1:45 p.m. near the intersection of Ga. 369 and Ga. 400 and took him into custody.
The child was transported to Northside Forsyth Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m., Deputy Rainwater said.
Mr. Truett was charged with first-degree cruelty to children and reckless conduct, the spokesman said. Still, he declined to comment on the evidence that led to the charges nor would he say if there were any obvious injuries found on the child.
Mr. Truett may face additional charges once the cause of Wyatt's death has been determined, Deputy Rainwater said. The GBI is expected to complete an autopsy on the child in the upcoming days, he said.

Mobile, Ala. -- New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael said a new contract with the Saints is "going to happen" after interviewing for the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears and then saying thanks, but no thanks to interview opportunities for offensive coordinator openings in Philadelphia and Jacksonville.
Carmichael's contract is set to expire soon and he said Monday morning at the Senior Bowl that completion of a new contract is still ongoing. But he's certain he's not leaving for another team this offseason saying staying in New Orleans came down to the stability of the Saints organization.
"It's an easy decision for me, especially what's best for my family. ... I think it was a unique circumstance this year with just the whole
contract thing. This is going to be a tough place to ever leave for me," Carmichael said.
Carmichael was one of more than a dozen candidates the Bears interviewed for their head coaching vacancy, with Marc Trestman eventually landing the job and taking former Saints offensive line coach Aaron Kromer with him. Carmichael also interviewed last offseason for head coaching jobs in Indianapolis and Oakland.
Though he didn't land the Bears job, Carmichael said interview with Chicago was absolutely a good learning tool for other possible interviews down the road.
"The experience alone is valuable," Carmichael said. "You go through the interview process. They interviewed a lot of guys. But it was really a chance to get some feedback from (Bears General Manager) Phil Emory going forward."

Terius begins the Fourplay on May 7th. And for the first single, he reunites with Fabolous for a mid-tempo slow jam. Try this on your Valentine's Day playlist.
Tag: The-Dream
While conversing with Billboard backstage at the Grammys, Terius says he will be helping Kanye and Beyoncé on their next LPs. He also revealed the new title and release date for his very own. "May 7, my album drops and the name is 'Fourplay,'" he told Billboard. The album was previously called "Love IV" and set for a March release. He'll release the set's latest single, "Slow It Down," on Thursday.
During the acceptance speech for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy, Jay-Z thanked the local swap meet for The-Dream's kooky hat. Niggas fashion is weak—quit wasting all the models. UPDATE: The-Dream On The Roast
In anticipation for his 1977's commercial release next Tuesday, Terius brings relationship drama to the video screen for his duet with Casha. Damn, love used to be more simpler than this.
It's not easy being a single parent. And in 2 Chainz's new video, he depicts a mom working the pole to pay her way through school. More than likely, this is "Based On A T.R.U. Story" for real. Pick up the album here.
For 1977's opening track, Terius puts his troubled relationship on to the small screen. Disturbingly, his girl got the worst of it in the end. Album in stores December 18.
Terius fans rejoice. A press release just announced The-Dream will re-release his digital LP, 1977 in stores on December 18. Last August, he dropped the critically-acclaimed work for free online. 1. Wake Me When It's Over 2. Used To Be 3. Long Gone 4. Ghetto Ft. Big Sean 5. Wedding Crasher 6. Rolex Ft. Casha 7. 1977 8. Wish You Were Mine 9. Real Ft. Pharrell 10. Form Of Flattery 11. AK47 12.

College Hockey:Pickin' the Big Ten: Feb. 21-22, 2014
The schedule's even lighter than usual this week, with two Friday-Saturday series. Minnesota and Ohio State sit this one out. First, let's see how Drew Claussen and I are doing.
Last week
Drew: 3-2-1 (.583)
Paula: 4-1-1 (.750)
Drew: 73-37-12 (.648)
Paula: 75-34-14 (.667)
This week
All four games are televised this week. All times are local. The Big Ten Network's Frozen Friday is the 6:30 p.m. Friday game between Penn State and Michigan, followed by the 8:00 p.m. game between Michigan State and Wisconsin. On Saturday, the Penn State-Michigan game begins at 7:00 p.m. and is carried by Fox Sports Detroit, while the Michigan State-Wisconsin game is televised by ESPNU at 4:00 p.m.
Michigan State at Wisconsin
Drew: Wisconsin is 15-2-1 at Kohl Center this season. Michigan State is 1-7-3 in road contests, with its only victory being against Penn State last weekend. I think that fact pretty much sums up this series. The Badgers are sitting seven points behind the idle Gophers and should be beyond pumped up to take advantage of home ice for the last time this season. I'm going to say Badgers sweep with relative ease.
Paula: I don't know how easy this series will be and you can be sure that the Badgers won't be overlooking the Spartans, especially since sophomore goaltender Jake Hildebrand has the best save percentage in Big Ten play (.942) and the Spartans are very stingy with the goals, allowing just 2.28 per game (9th nationally). Michigan State leads this series 46-42-3 all-time, but the Badgers are 22-17-2 at home against the Spartans. The teams last met in the last College Hockey Showcase, a 4-1 home win for Wisconsin (Nov. 27, 2010).
Drew's picks: Wisconsin 3-0, 4-1.
Paula's picks: I wouldn't be surprised to see the Spartans tie in Madison, especially since their seven ties this season are the second most in program history. I'm calling a Wisconsin sweep, though — a closer sweep than what my partner-in-writing is calling. Wisconsin 2-1, 3-2.
Penn State at Michigan
Drew: As we all know, Penn State picked up its first Big Ten win against Michigan a couple weeks back. Things didn't get better for the Wolverines when they went to Minnesota last weekend after they had solid starts and dreadful finishes in both games against the Gophers. Penn State has gotten points in consecutive Big Ten series, but I don't know how well the Nittany Lions will handle the hostile Yost environment. I'm not exactly confident in picking two sweeps this weekend, but with the way my picks have been me doing so might mean a couple splits and/or interesting games.
Paula: I do think this weekend's series will be very telling for both teams. The Nittany Lions know that they can beat the Wolverines; in fact, they know that they can shut out the Wolverines. That doesn't mean they'll do it again, especially (as Drew noted) since the games are in Yost Ice Arena. The Wolverines are five points behind Wisconsin still with two games in hand on both the Badgers and Minnesota, and they'll be keenly motivated to end their three-game losing streak. That's not to say that the Nittany Lions won't be keenly motivated as well. Michigan will be without defenseman Michael Downing and forward Andrew Sinelli for the first game of this series, as the two are serving suspensions. As of midweek, Michigan coach Red Berenson didn't know whether freshman Zach Nagelvoort or sophomore Steve Racine would start in net. You know that sophomore Matthew Skoff will be ready for Penn State, no matter who his team faces.
Drew's picks: Michigan 6-3, 7-2.
Paula's picks: Michigan 4-2, 4-2.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards has been talking to Brandi Glanville about Lisa Vanderpump and her friendship. Kyle is questioning Lisa's dedication to their friendship, even though she isn't showing the support when Kyle needs it. According to a new Bravo report published on Feb. 18, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards is now revealing that she doesn't question loyal friends, but she is questioning her friendship with Lisa Vanderpump.
"Lisa and I met at my store to look for clothes for Puerto Rico. As we started to speak, I realized I really needed to get some things off my chest. When I told Lisa that I wanted to move past our issues once and for all, I meant it. Lisa kept saying "Oh, we're past that. It's done." But clearly there were still some underlying issues," Kyle has revealed. She is questioning her friendship with Lisa, even though Lisa says she is loyal to her.
"I care enough about Lisa to move forward but needed to be heard. Last week Lisa questioned why I didn't defend her. . .Maybe because I had never had this conversation and was still hurt and upset by these situations that were swept under the carpet. I wanted to have this conversation so we could get back to where we once were. Lisa said that she was the most loyal friend I ever had. I kept quiet as I felt like we were making progress and wanted to stay on the right track. However, my most loyal friends and I haven't had to have this type of conversation," she adds.

On Friday night, the legendary Cher performed at Barclay's Center and received, for the most part, fantastic reviews for her show. The New York Daily News said what most people thought--the show further solidified Cher's legendary icon status. The New York Post says, in its excellent review, that the singer took her "If I Could Turn Back Time" hit literally on Friday night.
On Twitter, the reviewers also were positive. "Cher is 68, but she performs better than most pop stars who are 28," said one reviewer. Another one said, "This has to be one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. Thank God for Cher. Too bad I am the same age and will never look as good!"
Cher's "Dressed to Kill" tour has been a huge hit, selling out every single venue where she appears. Unlike Lady Gaga, Cher isn't giving away hundreds of tickets in order to make her shows look full. Unlike Madonna, she isn't starting her shows two hours late. The successful tour comes right on the heals of Cher's successful Closer to the Truth album, which became her highest charting album in years. Several music reviewers complimented Cher on her continued vocal excellence and production, which she had great control of on this album.
Though Cher is a huge icon, she had to overcome a lot to reach her status. She wasn't taken seriously as either an actress or singer, but eventually won people over. She won an Oscar for her performance in "Moonstruck." Then, her career took a nosedive after doing infomercials. Proving she is just like a cockroach, Cher came back with the biggest hit of her career, "Believe," in 1998. Since then, she has been touring to huge crowds. She is one diva all the young female starlets should look up to for inspiration.

I was on Twitter the other day, strolling down my timeline, when I noticed a tweet by Monica (@MonicaBrown). She shared a photo of her recent color & cut, and asked fans to share pictures of some of their hair choices.
Monica retweeted a fan's photo that happened to mention her hair was natural, while adding the comment, "Mine 2, stopped wearing perm 10 yrs ago. Im hiding from the rain NOW...Lol".
Hold the phone! 10 years?! I've loved Monica since the beginning, and have watched her styles change by length & color...even copying a few. NEVER would I have guessed that her hair wasn't relaxed. I would LOVE to know how she keeps her taper so sleek, how she keeps her hair healthy while coloring...I've got questions, lol.
This makes me wonder, just how many more are there, of our favorite celebrities rocking their natural texture?

As the hiring manager, you have identified the need to make changes in the organization. There's growth and there are changes needed to keep up with the market trends and competitors. The company has always promoted from an internal pool of performers. As the hiring manager you know there are employees who are solid with the current technical knowledge of the business, however, no one really has the innovative and competitive knowledge to move the organization to the next level. What do you do? Do you stay loyal to the 'promote from within' philosophy and risk the organization's progress and growth? Do you risk employees becoming disengaged because they feel betrayed by the hiring of externals?
The answer may lay in several points to consider. First, what are you trying to achieve? Do you have the internal resources to achieve your goals and strategies? Perhaps you can consider a combination of changes that will strengthen the organization that include both internal changes, internal promotions and external hires. However, you should never be concerned with making the right decision for the business. If that means hiring externally, that's what you do. As a part of the decision to hire externally, insure a communications plan is in place to assist employees in understanding the business strategy for the decision.
Going forward, talent planning to include succession management will assist in managing the potential talent gaps and will assist in updating the philosophy of 'only promote within'.

Will-writing and the redefinition of "legal services"
Last month, a BBC investigative program called Panorama exposed a wide range of illegal and unethical practices by "will-writers," advisors who help people prepare wills and who are not lawyers.

The Coors Copper Kettles featured on the brewery tour in Golden, Colorado Photo Credit: Suzy Guese
Crowds line up in the parking lot waiting to be picked up by a van labeled Coors in Golden, Colorado. The dress is not Rockies hats and Bronco T-shirts but rather everything Midwest, from the Chiefs to Michigan State.
Founded by German immigrant Adolph Coors in 1873, the Coors brewery rests outside of Denver in Golden. The crowds that come on a Saturday may have no interest in the brewing process. The 21 somethings joke with southern twangs, "I could have bought a 6 pack of Coors and had my own tour by now" as the wait to enter grows to almost an hour on a cold Saturday afternoon.
Perhaps most come for the price. Admission is free to tour the brewery, with no reservations needed. Others may be enticed by the three free samples waiting at the conclusion of an audio-guided tour. Maybe people come from all over the world to view the symmetrically placed copper kettles or they are start-up brewers looking to find inspiration, golden, full bodied inspiration.
The tour begins much like Disneyland. Instead of a screaming roller coaster face with hands in the air, a photographer asks you to stand in front of a print of the Coors cooper kettles. The "tourist" aspect has just begun with only a few steps through the door. That photo can be purchased after the tour for a hefty $20.
Next visitors 12 and older can pick up audio guides. Those 21 and older get wristbands to sample Coors at the conclusion of the tour. A golden elevator leads up to the brew house, a rainbow of copper. The audio guide excitedly informs listeners they are standing in the largest single site brewery in the world. After all that listening, some 10 minutes, visitors must get thirsty, with Coors offering a small tasting halfway through the tour. Finally the actual brewery tour concludes with a view of the packaging room. On weekends the room looks unimpressive for cans are not whizzing down the lines.
The most important part it seems for some is the tasting room. Lines form towards the bar where Coors, Coors Light, Blue Moon, Killians Red, Full Moon Seasonal, and Winterfest brands are offered. The crowds are thirsty with most getting their first sample and heading right back in line to get the second and then the third.
The site also houses a gift shop for those looking to take home a T-Shirt or thermos. While it is to be expectedly more commercial and touristy than a tour of a microbrew, the Coors brewery has every right to be. Since 1990, Coors has maintained the title of third largest brewer in America. The brewery site even remained active during Prohibition, manufacturing porcelain, malted milk and near-beer. The brewery is a survivor, fixed in a small town but with one of the biggest names in beer around the world.
Tours are offered Thursday through Monday from 10AM to 4PM and on Sundays from 12PM to 4PM. It may be better to visit during the week when there are less tourists and the packaging room is actually packaging everything Coors. Entry can be found on 13th and Ford in Golden. Try and park in the lot closest to the brewery as the designated tour lot seems to be the Coors way of regulating the stream of tourists with a fickly timed shuttle bus.

Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the Psy-dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned is that of a murderer targeting a Psy Councilor's closest advisors. And the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a Psy on the verge of a catastrophic mental fracture…Publisher: Berkley, July 2010
Sophia Russo is a Justice-Psy, cursed with the ability to retrieve memories from men and women so twisted even veteran cops keep their distance. Appointed as Max's liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this human, her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden emotion. But, her mind filled with other people's nightmares, other people's evil, she's standing on the border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges her to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury…and executioner…
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Single Title/Series: BONDS OF JUSTICE is Book Eight in the Psy-Changeling Series and I highly recommend reading this series in order.
Cover Thoughts: While I have a grudging respect for the elements that were accurately portrayed on this cover, its still my least favorite of the entire series. The knife tattoo, the city horizon and trolley car, all mimic the setting and a true tidbit regarding the hero but its simply not pretty to look at.
Why I Read It: I purchased this book solely for my own reading enjoyment. I'm in love with this series. Every installment is like I'm coming home. Each one "feels" the same as Singh's over-reaching consistency never fails.
My Review:
The Plot:
Justice Psy (J-Psy), work closely with Enforcement as they have the unique ability to not only telepathically read minds but they can actually extract memories and project them to another. One hundred years ago, the J-Psy were only used for the rare and extreme cases where a memory extraction was imperative to prove whether or not a suspect was guilty. Now, they're constantly in rotation until their use-by-date which is generally between ages 25-30. Because the J-Psy repeatedly extract and withhold memories from horrific criminals and sociopaths, their psyche slowly takes on the evil they've become filled with, eventually overpowering and crushing their real memories. When this happens, J-Psy begin to administer their own brand of justice against those they've found guilty by acting personally as judge, jury and at times, as executioner. When strange incidents of mind controlled mutilations or suspicious deaths begin to occur around a J-Psy, or when their shields are no longer impregnable against the outside world, the J-Psy is rehabilitated - their mind swept clean.
Sophia Russo, a J-Psy, only has months to live before she's called in for mandatory rehabilitation which will effectively wipe all her memories and shatter her personality until she's nothing by a slobbering, incoherent shell of who she once was. Having reached her expiration date, Sophia is filled to the brim with a powerful wanting to live what little remaining life she has left to the fullest including breaking her Silence in order to experience the passionate human Enforcement Detective, Max Shannon. Gifted with a naturally strong shield that makes his brain nearly impenetrable by the Psy, Max is the one man that Sophia can touch without risking her delicate shields and the impending madness that threatens to smash her already fragile defenses.
Max Shannon has been fascinated with Sophia since the moment the beautiful Psy spoke to him in a decidedly un-Psy-like manner at a shared prisoner interrogation. Later, when the two are personally requested by Psy Councilor Nikita Duncan to work a case in her territory of San Francisco, Max immediately starts pushing the boundaries of Sophia's Silence with the same strength of determination he applies to his investigations and nothing will stop stop his sensual assault of his decidedly wounded Psy. In the meantime, someone is knocking off high-ranking Psy in Nikita's personal circle with attempts also having been made on the Councilor herself.
As Max's and Sophia's connection builds so does the mounting danger that's made them a target from two unrelated fronts. One, Bonner, a sociopath that's been convicted of murder with a handful of disappearances where he's number one on Enforcement's suspect list, becomes grossly fixated on Sophia. Like clawing nails on a chalkboard, he scrapes gruesomely across her shields after promising to let her into his mind to find the memories of the suspected murders. And two, Pure Psy, a radical group of Psy that aims not only for world domination, but the purity of the Psy race and above all the strict adherence to Silence. In a time where the PsyNet may be dying and the Silence Protocol being fingered as the infection, more and more Psy are breaking their Silence. With Nikita being the one Councilor that blends her vast business structure across all three worlds - Psy, Changeling, and human - she's at the top of a very methodical list of terminations.
The Heroine:
Sophia Russo is a woman of quiet but formidable strength. Having been subjected to the vast depths of evil for most of her life, even surviving the cruelty of a Psy sociopath as an adolescent and bearing the scars to prove it, Sophia is nothing if not a fighter. A warrior even. And unlike nearly all Psy, Sophia feels a urgent protectiveness for the victims that have been brutalized by the criminals she probes despite the fact that she looses a part of herself each time she enters their evil minds.
To counter her strength, Sophia is also incredibly vulnerable with a deep-seeded fear of rejection. After the trauma of her youth and its subsequent physical and mental scars, Sophia was abandoned by her family and looked upon as flawed beyond redemption and left to walk her own path alone. Given the choice of rehabilitation or becoming a Justice Psy, Sophia chose life but carried the wounds of her past into her present with Max. Fearing his rejection, Sophia instead finds incredible acceptance with Max despite all that he soon learns about her, even the dark otherness that swirls in her mind demanding justice. And once her cop latches on, she soon believes that he'll do anything to keep her at his side even knowing that a future together can never be.
The Hero:
Typically considered at the bottom of the food chain, humans are viewed as weak having no mind strength like the Psy or physical strength like the Changelings. Caught in the middle, the humans are pulled back and forth by their more powerful cousins. But Max has a trump card that makes him ideal for Enforcement. Having a naturally super strong shielded mind against the Psy, Max can't be "pushed" into making decisions by those that would like a change of outcome. More importantly, Max's natural shield protects his sensitive J-Psy from an overload of his thoughts making him Sophia's perfect mate.
Max knows rejection. He's lived with it, recognizes it, and sees its cruelty within Sophia just as she sees it within him. Both are rejects by the very people that should have loved them beyond any doubt but instead they were cast aside like so much trash. It's the combination of Sophia's strength and vulnerability that not only fires up Max's deeply ingrained protection instincts but she also has him admiring her with an acute sense of pride. All of which coalesces into need and possession where Max will do anything to make her his, to protect her from the cold-hearted Psy and shield her from those that would love nothing more than to do her harm.
My Final Thoughts:
BONDS OF JUSTICE, like its predecessor BLAZE OF MEMORY, is another Psy-Changeling series installment that I felt little compulsion to read if not for my must-read-in-order complex. Honestly, unappealing cover aside, Max is a character that simply never called to my attention. First meeting him in MINE TO POSSESS, he immediately lacked the bold sexuality of the Changelings and the cold intrigue of the Psy. He's merely human and while I hate to admit it, he seemed flat compared to his more vibrant cousins. And lets face it, the hero is why we read romance and the tantalizing details of a future hero in a series is what keeps us emotionally and financially invested in its installments.
That being said, BONDS OF JUSTICE reveals hands down some of the most interesting, game-changing, shocking characteristics of two much speculated characters and thus opens a new fold in the Psy-Changeling universe. Nikita Duncan, Psy Councilor and mother to Psy defector Sascha Duncan, is still as hard as ever to peg with regards to her allegiance but she's most definitely showing herself to surprisingly have a heart. Therefore, my previously cool thoughts towards Nikita are warily starting to thaw. Plus, we're given a long hard glimpse of Psy Councilor Kaleb Krycheck. As elusive to pinpoint as Nikita, Kaleb shows real signs of being a good guy but he's still so incredibly cold that one can't know for certain. Whatever side this deadly Psy lands on, I'm shamelessly dying to know more about Kaleb who by the way is rumored to be drop-dead gorgeous! Oh yeah, this is the type of character that keeps you reading.
The sensuality is a bit soft but unlike BLAZE OF MEMORY, I read the sex scenes. There was a sweetness to them that couldn't be ignored but my reader heart still craves the rough passion of this author's Changelings. Nothing can top them but the romance between Max and Sophia is nothing short of enjoyable. For a man to risk so much for a woman destined to collapse shows heart and a reader can't ignore their struggle any more than we could deny these two desperate characters a Happily Ever After. Two rejected souls as these deserve happiness and while Max's and Sophia's HEA tasted a bit bitter sweet next to all the other Psy-Changeling HEA's, it still made for lovely ending.
For Psy-Changeling fans that love their installments heavy on the Psy, BONDS OF JUSTICE will likely rank as your number one in the series as this novel delivers Psy in spades. For the rest of us, be content with the surprising character bombs Singh drops as well the soft love affair of Max and Sophia. As always, Singh never disappoints with regards to the over-reaching plot arcs and there's the awesome pot of gold at the end of this rainbow: PLAY OF PASSION. Woot!

Download Painting Wallpapers
Before the advent of photography, we had paintings that would help us get through with all the best that life had to offer. They helped us preserve anything that looked beautiful to us. It is the art of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface and then preserving it for future use. It is an artist's true labor of love that comes out in the form of poignant pictures and beautiful images. Paintings are done over a variety of surfaces such as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper or concrete. They also incorporate a variety of other materials such as sand, clay, paper, gold leaf as well as objects. It is a form of creative expression. There are a variety of ways in which to express the medium and they are like Drawing, composition or abstraction and other aesthetics. They serve as a manifest to the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. They can be in the most natural form also called as naturalistic which could be a still life or a landscape painting, also photographic, abstract, filled with narrative content, symbolism, emotional or even political. Many paintings also have a religious or a spiritual significance. They depict scenes from the mythological stories and can be found especially on the walls and ceilings of religious places. At wallpaperpassion.com, you will find some fantastic paintings that will literally take your breath away. There are even artistic paintings bordering on symbolic sketches that help depict the scenes at the same time showing the artists mood while drawing them. These paintings will make for some cool wallpapers when you are in the artistic bent of mind. Or when you have that artistic mood and want to look at something that goes beyond the normal and touches on the surreal.

Three Features Apple Stole from Other Platforms for iOS5, then Improved
As you have probably heard by now, Apple's famous WWDC event took place last week and Jobs himself made an appearance on the Apple stage. That is, in and of itself exciting news, according to many. However, what came next was significantly more exciting.
Apple announced three new products, OS Lion for Mac, iCloud, which will keep all your various Apple products in sync, and iOS5 for iPad, iPod, and iPhone.
The main attraction of WWDC 2011 was most definitely the newest version of Apple's wildly popular mobile platform, iOS. iOS5 also has more than 200 new features and is the biggest advancement the operating system has made since its original introduction.
You can read a complete list of iOS5 features, but I wanted to focus on the negative press the new features have gotten, with many people claiming that Apple simply "stole" ideas from other platforms.
The way I see it is that Apple took a good look around at the competition and hand picked certain features it viewed as successful, then adapted them for iOS5. Apple did the same with Copy Paste in the past and many believe Apple's implementation of the basic function that has been around for years, is the best in the industry, hands down.
The following are three iOS5 features that Apple clearly borrowed from other mobile platforms, but the iOS5 version significantly improved:
- Notifications: OK, let's just get this one out of the way. The new iOS5 notifications are pure awesome. They fundamentally change the way I use my iPhone on a daily and hourly basis. However, to ignore the similarity to Android's notification system would be to fool yourself. They both enable you to get a short and unintrusive popup when you have a new notification, and they both enable you to view all your missed events by sliding the notification bar down from the top of the device.However, I do believe Apple took the Android notification system, and improved it on almost every level. The ability to choose what apps are included in the Notification Center is much clearer and more intuitive on iOS5 than it is on Android. The information included in the Notification Center in iOS5 is much richer and more practical than in Android. All in all, Android might have given Apple a glimpse of how to best implement a solid notification system, but Apple hit a homerun on this front…
- iMessage: The first thing everyone said when the rumors started circulating that Apple was going to announce its own iOS to iOS messaging service is, bye bye BBM and RIM. Well, of course that is an exaggeration and RIM isn't going anywhere so fast, but again, Apple clearly received inspiration from the tremendous success of the popular Blackberry messaging service.However, and this is a big one, Apple integrated the iMessage system into the already existing Messages app. No need for a separate app. What does that mean? It means that as far as iOS is concerned, you do not need to open something new to message your friend for free, it is the same app, the same familiar interface, and the same experience as SMS. iMessage might not have killed SMS revenue as many claim, but it sure will put a huge dent in SMS revenue on iOS devices.
- Home Screen Notifications: Another huge advancement that iOS5 has made is that it utilizes the dead real estate of the iPhone's lock screen. Applications such as Flyscreen on Android have long since discovered that the lock screen of a mobile device is a great resource to include useful information. iOS5 now enables you to see your most recent notifications without unlocking the phone.This, again, is not a new or revolutionary feature and it existed on other platforms such as the old Windows Mobile platform as well as the new Windows Phone 7 OS. However, based on my experience with all three platforms, iOS took the feature and improved it significantly. Not only are the notifications richer in information, but using the familiar gesture of swiping on one of the notifications will immediately open up the relevant app. If you have a new mail and are viewing it on the lock screen for example, just swipe your finger right on the notification, and that message will then be opened with no delay in the Mail app. Implemented to perfection.
In conclusion, no one can deny that Apple included features in iOS5 that are just a little too close to other platforms, to be a coincidence. However, it all depends on how you look at it. Perspective is everything and any company that does not conduct an analysis of the competition is a company doomed to failure.
Apple looked at Android, RIM, and Microsoft, took the best of all worlds, and added it to iOS5. In the few days I have been using iOS5, I can safely say, that when it comes to the user experience, there is no operating system on the planet that can even play in the same league.
So, did Apple steal from its competitors? Maybe, but did Apple just raise the bar for the entire mobile industry? Absolutely!

The cultural activities for women at the Jenadriyah Festival for Heritage and Culture began yesterday with an opening session at the King Abdul Aziz Public Library in Riyadh. The function was attended by Princess Nouf Bint Abdul Aziz and a number of female university professors.
Coordinator of the activities Jawaher Al-Abd Al-Al highlighted the importance of the festival, saying: "It takes us to the past and brings to us the good old memories about our forefathers". Jawaher, delivering a message from the National Guard, called for greater efforts from all citizens, including women, to revive and protect the Kingdom's glorious heritage. She also underscored the National Guard's remarkable contribution towards enhancing the education of women by opening schools and adult education centers, and described Jenadriyah as one of the most outstanding cultural festivals in the Arab world.

BEREA — Browns coach Rob Chudzinski didn't need to be asked again.
He opened his news conference Tuesday by naming Brandon Weeden the starting quarterback for the regular season, removing the little suspense left in the situation. Chudzinski didn't just make an announcement, he gave an endorsement.
"Brandon has earned this job," he said. "That's extremely important to me that he did. He has gained my complete trust. He has gained his teammates' complete trust and this organization's trust. We are all behind him and we will all be there to support him."
The support from the new front office hasn't always been evident. CEO Joe Banner took a wait-and-see approach and said Weeden needed to prove his commitment, general manager Michael Lombardi refused to offer praise and owner Jimmy Haslam vowed at the end of last season to have a quarterback competition.
"They are 100 percent behind it," Chudzinski said. "It was completely my decision. They are supportive of that and excited about getting going with that."
Weeden understood where he stood following a rocky rookie season and sweeping changes from the owner to the coaching staff.
"I knew I had to impress the people that ultimately make the decisions," Weeden said. "My mind-set didn't change. My mind-set was just doing the things that I need to do to become a better player. I feel support throughout from everybody, from players on up.
"I knew I was going to work hard. I wasn't worried about my end of the stick. I knew I was going to do what it took for me to get better in the offseason to do the things that I needed to do. I wasn't concerned about me. It was just proving to those guys that that hard work did pay off."
Weeden was always headed down the road to be the starter, as he took all the first-team repetitions throughout the offseason and training camp and has greater upside than backup Jason Campbell and third-stringer Brian Hoyer.
But Chudzinski was committed to going through his "process," which included evaluating the quarterbacks through camp and the first two preseason games. Last week he said he wasn't ready to name a starter and called the competition "still close."
Weeden responded with a strong outing Thursday against Detroit and is 18-for-25 for 229 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks and a 139.8 rating through two preseason games. The first-team offense has scored on five of its six possessions, including three touchdowns.
"I felt like the timing was right in this process as we broke camp the other day," Chudzinski said of naming Weeden the starter. "Now, we are looking forward and really getting more into preparation for the season.
"Everything about this process is wanting to see how he reacted and how all of the quarterbacks reacted. I firmly believe that that separates the great quarterbacks from the average quarterbacks in how they react to different situations, whether it's the game, whether it's adversity during the season, whatever it may be."
Weeden expressed relief over the end of questions about the competition, but said he was always confident the job would be his. He got the official word from Chudzinski on Monday.
"It's exciting," Weeden said. "You know, I feel like I've worked my tail off from during the offseason, this spring, throughout OTAs and up until this point, so, yeah, it's rewarding. Now my main focus is going out and winning as many games and helping this offense do as much as we can.
"I'm not satisfied. I feel like I've got a lot of work to do."
Chudzinski said he plans to keep all three quarterbacks on the regular-season roster and said all have shown "significant improvement" under coordinator Norv Turner.
As for Weeden, he answered the necessary questions.
"He has really gained a good grasp of what we are trying to do," Chudzinski said. "He has been able to manage the games and go out and make good decisions, lead his teammates and, obviously, succeed. He has made the personal-technique improvements that he has needed to make to improve himself. He has responded very well.
"He has taken the opportunity, seized the opportunity and produced. He has garnered a lot of respect from not only me, not only the coaching staff and the organization, but from his teammates, as well."
Weeden is in line to be the first Browns quarterback to start back-to-back openers since Charlie Frye in 2006-07. Frye was traded after Week 1 in 2007. Weeden joins Tim Couch (2000-01), Kelly Holcomb (2002-03) and Frye as the only repeat starters since 1999.
Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas appreciates the stability and believes Weeden was the right choice.
"I see that he's made great growth this year, and I think a big part of that is just the confidence that he has going into his second year," Thomas said. "There's no doubt in my mind that we can definitely win with Brandon. He's shown that he can be our guy, for sure."
Weeden said he never doubted he would be in the huddle Sept. 8 when the Dolphins visit.
"I've always put the pressure on myself that I was going to be the guy," he said. "I was going to do everything I could to be the guy. I can't say that I ever doubted it.
"My mentality was that I was again going to take the bull by the horns and be the guy and do everything in my power to make it where they had no choice but to name me the guy."

New Delhi: A day after regularising 895 regularised unauthorised colonies, Delhi Government today said sale and purchase in such settlements developed on private land will be allowed within a month while those on government land will have to wait a little longer.
Unveiling a road map for extending various benefits to the residents of the colonies, Urban Development Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said the process for allowing property transaction in the settlements which came up in government land will be started soon.
Out of 895 colonies which were regularised yesterday, 312 settlements are on private land while 583 colonies came up on government land.
"Property transaction in 312 colonies which are on private land will be allowed within a month. We have already started the process for removing the hurdles. The residents will also be able to registrar the properties in their names," Singh said.
Residents of the colonies which are on government land will have to pay Rs 575 per square metre as land cost to the government besides penalties and development charges. The land cost for multi-storey buildings will be calculated as per number of floors, he said.
Lovely said penalties for a 100 yard plot will be 10 per cent of the existing circle rate of the respective areas while penalty for plot size between 100 yard and 250 yard will be 25 per cent of the circle rate.
For plot size above 250 yard, the penalty amount will be 50 per cent of the circle rate. The Minister said all the colonies, including those which came up on private land will have to pay Rs 200 per square metre as development charge to the government for providing various facilities like electricity, roads and sewer lines.
"Once the fees are paid by the colonies, we will start denotifying government land and allow sale and purchase as well as registration of properties in colonies which came up on government land," he said.
The Urban Development Minister, earlier replying to a discussion on unauthorised colonies in the assembly, said the respective municipal corporations will be asked to prepare layout plans for the colonies by professional town planners in a time-bound manner.
"We have decided to set up a Task Force having representation of various departments and agencies to ensure better coordination in carrying out various works in the colonies," he said.
The government has also decided to issue a notification allowing spending of MLALAD and MPLAD funds in the colonies which have been regularised.
Lovely said government will also ask municipal corporations to sanction building plans of residents who want to carry out constructions in their buildings as finalisation of lay out plans may take time. Usually, the civic bodies do not approve building plans in colonies which do not have a sanctioned lay out plan.
"The MCD should allow construction in the colonies on the lines of Lal Dora areas till the lay out plans are finalised," he said.
Lovely said Delhi Government will soon write to Union Urban Development Ministry to denotify land in 576 colonies which were regularised over two decades ago so that residents can sell and purchase properties.
Lt Governor Tejendra Khanna yesterday approved regularisation of 895 unauthorised colonies with certain riders, paving the way for their development on par with other areas in the city. Following the clearence by Khanna, Delhi government issued a notification regularising the colonies.
Lovely said a board headed by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is being set up to address any grivance and disputes relating to the settlements.
"We will speed up development works in all the colonies and concerned agencies have been issued instructions to the effect," he said.
On regularisation of the remaining 744 unauthorised colonies, Lovely said every effort will be made to provide relief to residents of those colonies as well.
"Some colonies are on forest land. Some portion of some colonies are on ASI land. We may go for regularisation of the portion which does not fall under either ASI or Forest land.
We will find a way out to resolve it," he said.
Lovely said government will also focus on ensuring that no more unauthorised colonies come up in the city and to ensure that responsibilities will be fixed on agencies concerned.
While approving regularisation of the colonies, Khanna asked Delhi government to strictly adhere to all laid-down eligibility criteria including ensuring 50 per cent built-up area in each of the colonies.
The LG also asked the government to ensure that the colony on forest land or near protected monuments should not be regularised.
Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath last week had given a green signal to regularise unauthorised colonies when Dikshit met him to press for early approval for their regularisation of the settlements, considered traditional votebank of the Congress in the city of 1.67 crore.
The Delhi government had issued provisional regularisation certificates to over 1,639 unauthorised colonies ahead of assembly polls in 2008. The then Dikshit government, while distributing the certificates, had promised to regularise the colonies if Congress came to power for the third term.
Property sale in regularised unauthorised colonies on pvt land within month
New Delhi: A day after regularising 895 regularised unauthorised colonies, Delhi Government today said sale and purchase in such settlements developed on private land will be allowed within a month while those on government land will have to wait a little longer.

Although we take a firm stance against plastic surgery and botox, we're not against protecting ourselves from wrinkles before they ever start appearing. Caudalie's First Wrinkle Serum ($59)is designed to do just that; it helps reverse and prevent the initial signs of aging. The gentle formula includes hyaluronic acid to moisturize, plant biovector anti-wrinkle agents, and grapeseed polyphenols to deliver a boost of antioxidants. It has a light scent, and leaves skin soothed and supple. Hopefully, in 20 or 30 years time, we'll look like this... as opposed to this.

As our games often go forward fast, that question often comes up. Especially when fighting against enemies that can see in darkness, it can become important. It is often ignored, but it can become an effective combat tactic to get rid of opponent's lights.
Axis & Allies miniatures Winter War terrain WIP
This terrain is going to show you step by step how I'm doing my winter war gaming terrains for Axis & Allies miniatures. I'm going to post the photos for start, and write more text later about creation process. You can find some details about the terrain creation process in Axis & Allies miniatures ww2 town terrain, WIP -post.
Axis & Allies miniatures ww2 town terrain, WIP
This post shows you detail about constructing models and terrain bases for ww2 town terrain meant to be used with Axis & Allies miniatures. You can see photos of the ready terrain in another post. You can see details about construction phases by bringing the mouse pointer on the photo.
Babylon 5 -inspired paper freighter miniature
Babylon 5 paper ships
Some quick paper models for Babylon 5 games. I've also scratchbuilt G'Quan Heavy cruisers but there are only 3 of them so at least one more was needed. The map below is from e2o.
Olympus corvettes are also most welcome (and Canon!) addition to my Earth fleet.
Black hand - a model used in Ptolus and as D&D spell token
Black hand is a recurring theme in Ptolus, which is why I decided to create a model of such. In addition, it can be used to present various spells in D&D 4E as well as 3.x rules, and possibly in other rpg's too. And when trying to find more use for it, a subterranean hand that grabs people from the surface sounds quite mean...
Cardboard sailing ships (+WIP)
These two cardboard ships, a warship and a merchant ship, have seen frequent use in D&D games, as well as in an earlier Iron Heroes game. While IH was a different and refreshing variation from D&D, I find it currently too cumbersome ruleswise.
Chemical container car - paper gaming props for your modern/scifi games
Here's a paper model of a chemical container train car I've used as a prop in my Savage Cyberworld -campaign. Print it on two A4/Letter sheets, on cardstock, 120g paper or something else strudier than standard paper. I haven't added instructions as the model is quite simple, and I didn't see it necessary to add the parts that attach train cars to each other (whatever they are called in English), model worked quite well without them.
Download miniature -scale hospital furniture
Here's a small free papercraft download for you - something little that's easy to put together and can enliven your modern, cyberpunk, scifi or other roleplaying or miniature games. Hospital beds, curtains and small bedside -desks. These pieces were used in my Savage Cyberpunk game.
Dungeon walls! Print, cut and glue walls for your rpg's
I find it surprising that there's no free, high-quality printable basic walls downloadable anywhere - so I decided to create such and share them. These dungeon (or castle) walls are partially uneven structure, like they were very old, and this way work better as cave wall or cliff.
The photo below shows the walls in use; they have been altered a little bit after printing these walls but they are very close to these.
