Broadcaster Tony Veitch has avoided a jail sentence after admitting an attack which broke his ex-grilfriend's back.
Veitch appeared in court today on six counts of assaulting his former partner, Kristin Dunne-Powell, and one of injuring her with reckless disregard between 2002 and 2006.
He pleaded guilty to injuring with reckless disregard - which carries a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment - and was sentenced by Judge Jan Doogue to nine months supervision, 300 hours community service and a $10,000 fine. If his parole officer deems it necessary, Veitch must also attend a Stop Violence programme.
All other charges against Veitch were dropped this morning.
In sentencing Veitch, Judge Doogue talked of an attack on January 29, 2006: "In the course of that argument, you kicked the complainant while she was on the floor of your bedroom," Judge Doogue said.
Dunne-Powell - reading an emotional victim impact statement - revealed how the injuries she sustained on that night included one or two fractured vertebrae. The injuries caused severe physical and mental impact on her life.
The Crown's summary of facts described how Veitch and Dunne-Powell agreed to meet at Veitch's home to discuss their relationship. They went to the bedroom where the heated argument broke out and Veitch hit Dunne-Powell. Veitch later took her to Auckland Hospital before leaving at 6am for work duties.
Soon after the attack, Veitch wrote Dunne-Powell a letter of apology. He also paid Dunne-Powell $12,000 for physiotherapy costs, and $150,000 for medical expenses, loss of income and emotional distress.
The court heard today how Veitch had 20 references speaking of his good character, some from prominent New Zealanders.
Dunne-Powell had arrived at court about 8.20am today hand-in-hand with her husband. Veitch - wearing a suit - arrived at court at 9am on his own and ran up the court steps. His wife, Zoe Halford, had arrived at the courthouse about 15 minutes earlier, supported by family.
A growing media pack of about 20 journalists - including the hosts of high-profile current affairs shows Sunday and Close Up - had been awaiting the broadcaster's arrival.
Veitch said after the sentencing that he had been shocked at the way events had been portrayed in some areas of the media.
"From today we will begin legal action against them. It is one thing to condemn someone and another to slander them."
Veitch said today had been hideous and he was absolutely relieved to have it over with.
"Despite what may have been said, I never shied away from anything that happened that night over three years ago.
"That wasn't me, and will never be me again."
He said he had told his family, his wife and close friends of the attack soon after it happened. Veitch also said he had told his employer, TVNZ, the "full and utter truth".
What still confounded Veitch was that he believed he and Dunne-Powell had parted on good terms, remaining in contact for 13 months after the incident.
"I am grateful sense had prevailed and the other charges have been dropped."
Detective Inspector Scott Beard said outside court that police had investigated the case thoroughly and professionally.
"The bottom line is this is not an unusual case. What's different is Mr Veitch is high profile. At the end of the day, domestic violence is not okay".
>> Read how the case developed
It was revealed late yesterday that a two-week depositions hearing, scheduled to start on Monday to determine if Veitch would stand trial, had been called off.
Auckland District Court staff had said they had been directed by the judge handling the case not to discuss whether a deal had been reached, saying only that the matter would be "brought on".
Sources close to the case had said the matter would be "significantly advanced". Another source close to Veitch's defence team had confirmed that the matter would be resolved today.
Asked last night whether Veitch had reached a deal with police, inquiry head Detective Inspector Scott Beard said: "I will be going down to court like everyone else to see what is happening."
Dunne-Powell's sister, Leanne Dunne, said she could not comment. "We're all on a media ban. I'm afraid you'll have to wait."
The Dominion Post revealed in July last year that Veitch had secretly agreed to pay Dunne-Powell more than $100,000 after assaulting her at his Auckland home.
He admitted two days later that his "frustration took over".
"I broke and lashed out in anger, something I will regret till the end of my days," he told reporters.
Veitch later quit his TVNZ and Radio Sport jobs and was charged in August, saying he was "more determined than ever" to clear his name and "there are two sides to every story and I guarantee that will come out in the end".

We need a way for one window to pass data to another window that it has opened (with a call to openDialog(), which is already implemented).
This might be done with arguments to openDialog(), or setting some special DOM object's value before the call to openDialog() is made.
Whatever the case, the arguments should be accessible to the newly created dialog's onload handler via a JavaScript array object of some sort.

Review of Linkody
The link management function isn't new to the SEO space. Many tools do it already, like Buzzstream and Raven – and they do it quite well. Additionally, link discovery is an existing feature of tools like Open Site Explorer, yet this is an area where I see opportunity for growth. I love the idea of these 'new link' reports, but honestly, haven't found anything faster than monthly updates. I know it's a tough request, but I mentioned this to François. By tracking "as-it-happens" links, you can jump into conversations in a timely manner, start making relationships, and maybe shape linking-page context. You might even be able to catch some garbage links you want to disassociate yourself from quicker.
Optimize NOW For Entities and Relationships
I remember a few years ago blowing the mind of a boss with a theory that Google would eventually rank (in part) based on their own internal understanding of your object. If Wikipedia could know so much about an object, why couldn't Google? In the end, I was basically describing semantic search and entities, something that has already lived as a concept in the fringe of the mainstream.
Step-By-Step Google Disavow Process (Or, How To Disavow Fast, Efficiently, and Successfully)
For one reason or another, plenty of sites are in the doghouse. The dust has settled a bit. Google has gotten more specific about the penalties and warnings through their notifications, and much of the confusion is no longer… as confusing. We're now in the aftermath – the grass is slowly growing again and the sky is starting to clear. A lot of companies that sold black hat link building work have vanished (and seem to have their phone off the hook). Some companies who sold black hat work are now even charging to remove the links they built for you (we know who you are!). But at the end of the day, if you were snared by Google for willingly – or maybe unknowingly – creating "unnatural links," the only thing to do is get yourself out of the doghouse.
Old School SEO Tests In Action (A 2014 SEO Experiment)
Ever wonder how powerful some of the oldest SEO recommendations still are? With the birds and the bears (and a little caffeine) changing so much in SEO since 2011, I wanted to see first hand some of the results we can get from some moves like internal linking and title tag optimization. Using my own site as the proving ground, and moving quickly between tweaks and first results to try and exclude any other ancillary update or change, I decided to test some optimizations I still see recommended or used in the field. The set of competing pages I chose below don't move very often, so I thought this might be a good group to experiment with.
Analogies And Metaphors To Help Explain SEO To Your Boss
As an SEO I bet your chest just tightened up reading that. We've all been there. Our lot in life will put us there again. When the spotlight is put on natural search performance, it's almost always put on you as a performer (at least semi-consciously). Maybe you feel threatened or defensive. The counter-arguments start squirting through your neocortex.
An SEO Fail For Candie's – A Big Brand Audit
My fiancé loves shoes. Like the stereotype, she has a closet full. I don't get it. I own three pair, and one pair are flip-flops. One afternoon she came into my office and said, "you're the Google geek, find me these shoes." She had a pair of Candie's that broke right in the middle of the sole. I found out she searched for about 45 minutes looking for these shoes, to no avail – I suspect much longer than the average person. Challenge accepted – I'm supposed to be good at this, but within 30 minutes I couldn't find anything either. I used everything from reverse image search to the most descriptive keywords I could image. I looked in CSE's, Pinterest, Amazon, and a few major shoe retailers. I went deep into supplemental pages of smaller retail sites (which is a very scary place).
Getting Low Hanging Links Using Fresh Web Explorer
Today SEOmoz announced a new tool today – Fresh Web Explorer (in beta, available to Pro accounts).
It's fast. It's big. It's sexy. It's simple. It tracks links and mentions in aggregate, and so far, has proven to be faster than Google Alerts and Topsy. This is especially cool for SEOs banking on co-occurrence and citations in the future of ranking. Plus, it has a feed authority feature (in the vein of the defunct AlertRank) which could be pretty useful for many.
Example 1:
It provides a legend of search operators, most we can guess if we are fans of the operators that work in Google. Quotes, minus signs, "OR" – they work great. I picked a few terms that I know gets used in conjunction with my blog:
- bill sebald
- greenlaneseo
- greenlane.wpengine.com
- green lane seo
I have the option to input one at a time, or both in a string like "bill sebald" OR "greenlaneseo" OR "greenlane.wpengine.com" OR "green lane seo," depending on whether I want an aggregate or comparison view. I can also scan web mentions as far back as "last four weeks."
Not only did I find a post that linked to my site just today (this tool is fast!), but I also found a page that mentioned me but didn't link. I'll be emailing him shortly to see if we can't turn that co-occurrence into a link.
Protip – This tool also lets you export, which after a little tweaking of the CSV, makes for a juicy import into Buzzstream for even better link management.
Example 2:
I'm usually very successful with finding and connecting my good content with relevant posts – a reason I love the broken link building tactics. I recently wrote a review for a Visual Link Explorer from Cognitive SEO. I saw State of Search did a write-up on the tool within the hour my post came out. I wrote to them and asked if they'd like to link to my review as more context for their readers. Unfortunately there was no response (hey, it happens to the best of us), but this tool makes the success of that tactic even more possible.
I entered "Visual Link Explorer" into the tool, and had a couple nice hits. I could easily contact all of these sites with my review, and try to negotiate a link. Think about the varieties of keywords you could enter here to find timely posts and content that is still within the webmaster's attention span. I've always found it's much easier to get a link on fresh content, than something that's been long forgotten by the webmaster.
Is it missing content, links, and citations? Yes. But this is a really great start. These tricks worked great for me in my first hour of playing with it. Would love to hear what you can come up with in the comments.
Oh, and check this out too – Fresh Web Explorer Bookmarklets
Updated 3/21/2013 – On the heels of Fresh Web Explorer, SEOmoz has rolled the concept into Open Site Explorer with "Just Discovered." This new tab shows the freshest links discovered by Open Site Explorer by scanning pages recently shared through social media. It appears pretty accurate, unfortunately some of the links they just discovered for me are year old links on popular websites.
Review Of Visual Link Explorer
Before starting this review, I want to highlight some good prospecting by Razvan Gavrilas. He read a comment I left on a post from Seer about data visualization and Google Fusion Tables, and reached out to me (for those who disagree with me about the power of comments, here's more proof of value). Razvan emailed me through one of my e-mail accounts, to which I unwisely mistook as being a vendor looking to pitch. He then hit me on Twitter, to which I unwisely ignored thinking it was also a vendor pitch. He then added me on Linkedin, and finally got my attention. His persistence was impressive, and my ignorance was shameful. I wish I had taken notice sooner, as he was offering me a demo of a really incredible tool. Semi-serendipitously, I offered to do a review, and recommended the company to a few of my friends, one of which was Mike King who also shared it – he has much more amplification than I do. This is more proof that persistent, smart, personal outreach may not be scalable, but it's still incredibly powerful. Now, on to the review…
I'm a very-right brained, visual person. I really like data visualization. The critique I left on the Seer blog about Google Fusion Tables was that the functionality wasn't there to click through and look at specific data points. As an answer to that, the Visual Link Explorer by Cognitive SEO was born. In addition to the Visual Link Explorer, my demo gave me a huge array of link slicing tools, with a lot of filters and features. Unlike many link tools predecessors, this toolset was clearly created to serve the masses who may each be looking to gather different link metrics. On many reports you can filter on link strength, citation flow, count, etc. Also unlike some simpler link reporting and analysis tools, there's a learning curve here. But like any robust analysis tool (like Omniture for instance), it may take some time to learn this platform. I see this being valued more by the enterprise agencies or in-house SEOs who are held to higher reporting and analysis standards.
I tinkered. I created a campaign and ran an audit on my company's services domain and another Philadelphia SEO company's domain. I already had a fair sense of their linking tactics – they have a lot of exact match anchor footer links embedded in clients' websites. I wanted to see how the two link profiles compared. The campaign wizard prompted me through the initial steps (where I deepened the data pull), and returned massive digital reports within 7 minutes (which the system then saves for immediate review later). That was impressive considering how slice and diced data I had at my fingertips, right in my browser.
So jumping into the new Visual Link Explorer feature specifically, this was really the most impressive of all. A fully navigable, functional, clickable visualization of my link graph:
click image below to open larger in new window
Now here's the comparison of my SEO competitor, which was just as easy to pull up:
click image below to open larger in new window
Right off the bat it's pretty clear that we have two completely different link building, content marketing, and site architecture strategies. By examining the cluster above, I confirmed what I suspected about my competitor. They have hundreds of links pointing directly to their homepage, with very little variation of exact match anchor text – terms like Philadelphia SEO Company, and Philadelphia SEO. Surprisingly, while Google spanked a lot of this with the Penguin updates, this company still remains strong for these keywords. They rank very well, and this visualization helps me recognize (in seconds) their exemption, and possibly put together a plan to match them at their own game. In my opinion, that's the biggest value of data visualization – the ability to "snapshot" the landscape quickly, and start driving actionable strategies. With a lot of clients or busy days, this is incredibly important.
Zooming into the interactive interface, I'm able to see links much closer (the scroll wheel on the mouse is heavenly for this). I'm also able to toggle Link Trust Flow, Domain Trust Flow, Link Citation Flow, Domain Citation Flow, and Link Rating. I'm able to click through each of the data points to get more information (in the form of a knowledge box), a fix for one of my biggest criticisms of other data visualization tools:
click image below to open larger in new window
It's really pretty amazing, and I'm just tapping into it. My only criticism is (and I shared this with Razvan) is its missing some definitions, and by that I mean, clearly descriptive labels of what all the amazing data means. Novice link builders will get lost in this data, so I'd like to see it maybe cater to them more. This is a powerful tool and should be clearer so all SEO clients can benefit from an empowered (and fully comprehending) SEO service provider.
I would be shocked if this doesn't quickly become part of an SEOs regular arsenal.
More coming soon – I'm going to create a video tour hopefully soon. In the meantime, to see some of the other reports from Cognitive SEO's great tool, here are a few more resources:
Using Google Webmaster Tools To Clean Up Your (404) Act
Here's a quick link building (or link reclamation) tip for you. Google Webmaster Tools has really grown. Yeah, there's still some squirrely reporting (like why my impression count is exactly the same every day), but the Crawl Errors function is vital for anyone who adds and removes a lot of pages, or has switched sites and URLs.
A client of mine recently got a new website. More than a reskin, 98% of the URLs had changed (for the better). With Screaming Frog and some insight on what the URLs were going to be, I was able to whip together a good .htaccess file to use.
The new site has been live for a few months now, and despite thinking I had the 404 issue pretty covered, I logged into the Crawl Errors tool in Google Webmaster Tools.
I thought I had it under control. Clearly not. But Google makes it easier than ever to fix. Click the Not Found button, and take a look at the list of 404's it gives you.
Ideally you can clean these up with a couple sweeping server redirects. In my case I simply forgot to remove an old XML sitemap. But the beautiful thing is that each resulting page can be clicked for more information:
That's a pretty sweet link I was missing out on. I made this my priority. You might find some nuggets too with a fairly small amount of digging.
Are you of the video persuasion? Here's the a screencast of the tactic:
Google Reads Javascript – Yahoo and Bing, not so much.
At the bottom of this blog, I was linking to on site pages with nonsense words. These were completely made up words that have no rankings whatsoever. I was only using javascript to link to these pages.
As an SEO we're bred to think that javascript is bad. More than 2 years ago Google came out and said they were starting to follow these javascript links. Google knows that to better serve their users, they're going to have to learn to understand this integrated language. They know not all webmasters are SEOs; in all honesty, I'm sure they don't want them to be! Since many sites were heavily developed in javascript, especially for dynamic navigations, Google had to overcome.
And they did. The tests in the footer of this site showed it. Not only could Google index my pages that had the anchor text in them, but they could also index the thin destination pages. And they did so within 3 hours! Hey, they did say they're obsessed with speed this year.
The Simple Experiment
I tried:
callicamally
I also tried:

Finally I tried:

Again, Success! I'm pretty satisfied with Google here. Bing and Yahoo? Not so much – they were only able to index the page with the anchor text. And even then, not every time. But they never claimed to be able to (that I'm aware of).
Now this isn't surprising to some groups of SEOs, but it really is interesting how often I still hear old SEO recommendations as being critical today. Granted, this test isn't exhaustive (the actual PageRank associated through JS links wasn't tested – just crawlability), but it's valid. I think some SEOs really need to get caught up to Google, and start implementing what really matters – user value, context, authority, recommendation, and community. Whatever you want to call it (SEO 2.0 or not), the wave is starting to build right now – get in front of it, and down shift on the old school SEO tactics.

Really quite good
Animation and character design were top notch, and the sounds fit well. I like how no actual speech was used, so that the meaning could, for the most part, be conveyed to anyone from any nation.
As for 'botting', the character in question was clearly using hacks, both of an attack variety and speed hacks, if not actually botting.
i love it,was funny and very entertaining. i like how the animation was smooth, so well done.
keep up the good work, thumbs up.

Great sense of humor!
Very well animated, in your own style. Nice.
Graphically outstanding, sound's good and the video overall has a nice feeling to it.
Looking forward to the seventh!

When searching for a company review or local business, users have come to expect to see an orange star rating in their results.
However, Google has reportedly been mixing it up by testing additional colors, including:
- Blue
- Green
- Gray
- Red
- Yellow
It appears search results are still orange for most users. However, the Google experiments news blog All Google Testing says users can enable these tests by inserting updated code into their browsers.
Many of the tests collected show a five-star rating for the search results, regardless of what the actual ratings are. For example, when searching for "Foster's Hollywood Reviews" without the test enabled, users see an average three-star rating.
However, when performing the same search in the testing environment, there are five stars across the board.
Stacey MacNaught, search director at multi-screen digital marketing agency Tecmark, took to Twitter on August 28 to share her observations, including asking why there are five-star ratings for businesses that clearly shouldn't be there.
Below are additional examples of the new star colors from All Google Testing:

"RE: D4 in my future?"
Just buy it now!!!! No, probably wait for the buy out money. I have the d4 and use my Nikon 500 f4.0 vrII lens along with tele converters a lot for my bird photography. I had the d3s before I got the d4. The d4 is a wonderful camera for these low light, cloudy and sometimes rainy days we get here in western Oregon using high iso settings. I have to do very little noise reduction in post processing with the d4. Its got one tough body. I dropped the d4 off my drafting table onto a hardwood floor, camera ok without a mark, floor got injuried with big dent.I have a better rain coat for the d4 then I do for my body ha ha!!!!Enjoy your future new camera.Larry

Above: Life in Hell © 1985, Matt Groening
If I had to make a Charles Foster Kane-like "Declaration of Principles" for Scanners (and if I haven't already done that sometime in the last seven years, then maybe I should), it would include such fundamental tenets (all-too-familiar to regular readers) as:
* Whether somebody "likes or dislikes" something is not something anyone else can do anything about, and therefore is not a fit subject for criticism.
* Neither is speculation about somebody's motives for "liking or disliking" something. All that matters is what they say, not what you guess their motivation is for saying it -- just as all that matters to criticism is what's in the movie, not what you imagine the filmmakers' intentions were. Is it there, or not? If it is, it can be talked about. If it isn't, when where's the evidence? Even speculation has to be based on something.
* A movie is always to some degree about what happens to you as you are watching it. (Which means, the questions and suppositions and emotions you have are part of the experience.)
* Ad hominem (and other simpleminded logical fallacies and propaganda techniques) are not meaningful or legitimate forms of argument or criticism. Study them, learn them, recognize them, avoid them! (See Judge Reinhold, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High.")
* "Everyone is entitled -- even encouraged -- to geek out on anything they like, whether it's horror or science-fiction or art house movies or superhero movies or films from a certain country or movies you've never heard of. That's in the Constitution, I think. (Well, if wingnuts can make up things to go in there, why not me, too?)
* If a critic's verdict isn't the least interesting thing he/she has to say about a movie, then he/she probably isn't a very good critic. (See A----- W----, where it's all about staking out a contrary position without bothering to offer actual evidence.)
... and so on...
Sometimes I deliberately to hold back on expressing my opinions because I've learned how hard it is for some people to get past it to the meat of the argument (i.e., the actual evidence in the movie). But some find that tactic distracting, too; they focus on trying to decipher my real opinion. To which I invariably wonder: "Why would anyone care about my opinion if they don't want to understand how I arrived at it?"
Hence the Daniel Dennett quotation above right: "There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear." Without a valid argument, you cannot be right, you can only be irrelevant. In a reply to a recent comment, I thought I got about as pithy as I get in expressing why nobody should care about my opinions (or anyone else's) -- only the evidence:
All film criticism (all writing, all filmmaking) is, on some level, autobiography, don't you think? I remember David Thomson talking about it that way in the intro to his first edition of "The Biographical Dictionary of Film." What somebody notices, finds of interest, and chooses to write about can't help but be determined by who they are and what they bring to the movie. It's personal -- but, as I always say, it has to be rooted in specific observations of the movie itself. Otherwise it's like we're all talking about our own dreams. Close observations of the movie give us common ground for discussion.
There. I said it (again). But shorter. So, to those who claim that "nobody cares what critics say" (sometimes including, mysteriously, the word "anymore"), I reply: "Nobody cares that nobody cares what critics say, so get over it!" The point of my previous post, "The Avengers & the Amazing "Critic-Proof" Movie," was to examine what people (especially studio execs) have long meant when they used the term "critic-proof." I would say there are any number of meanings the term might have, but I'm not offended by any of them. There's a tautology about criticism (I think it's a tautology) that is true: Movie criticism only matters to people who care about movie criticism. Anything wrong with that?

Written on: 31/07/2013 by murcutio (3 reviews written)
Absolutely appalling service. Purchased a pair of shorts, within days the stitching had gone. Their returns policy is totally unfair as I am expected to pay upfront for a replacement for their shoddy goods. Now I have purchased the replacement they have failed to dispatch it and after several chases they are now ignoring my emails even though they promised it would be dealt with quickly. I am now 5 weeks down the line still with faulty goods and double the payment down. This company trade on their lifestyle image but are in reality amateur, arrogant and second rate. I will never deal with them again and warn others not to. Avoid!!!

**Spoiler Alert!** If you plan on reading the novel and don't want to know what happens, do not read past this point!
Lisa Shearin has done it again!!! This is only the fourth book she has published, and already, with her style, she resembles a veteran; an author who's been around for years! She's that good!
Raine's back, with our entire favourite cast of characters.
The spectres are running rampid all over Mid, including Sarad Nukpana. Raine is now after them, to put them back where they belong. The opening line is, and I quote: "I was being chased by a pissed-off guy with a knife. A really big knife." My first thought: And we're off!!!
Then, not halfway down the page, I cracked up when I read: "And believe me, I got to see enough manhoods and fleeing pasty white posteriors to last me a lifetime."
When a shriveled up body is dumped at her feet by none other than Sarad Nukpana, she's warned that the whole situation is about to get worse. Sarad is going to "eat" as much power as he can, and will eventually find a way to control her and the Saghred (stone). And he's going to go after everyone she cares about and everyone she loves before he gets to her.
Raine will stop at nothing to find him.
We see another side of Mychael; now we learn where he came from before he became Paladin. Their umi'atsu bond grows stronger, and both finally admit to being in love with each other.
Talon gets himself into even more trouble - on a couple of separate occasions. Piaras keeps himself out of most of it, until he goes after Talon.Read more ›
Mychael and Raine do get closer in this novel and Raine must make a hard decision regarding Tam. Talon tries to be a hero and gets himself in trouble. Piara's can't let his friend go alone so he follows Talon which results in Raine following as well. Like she needs anymore problems.
Bewitched & Betrayed is my favourite novel in the series. It was constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat. Lisa is the master of keeping her books paced with the amount of action she puts in them as well as the humour she uses with her characters.

Book 4 was going to be a deciding factor for me if I was going to continue with this series or not--And I've decided to continue. I really enjoyed the adventure, the romance (very low-key), the development, and the direction. I worried that this book would be too similar to Armed & Magical (Raine Benares, Book 2) and The Trouble with Demons (Raine Benares, Book 3) which seemed to just keep piling on the troubles and never really push the story forward. I had enjoyed them both, but I was ready for some decisions to be made and some bad guys (or a few of her troubles) to die.
Bewitched & Betrayed (Raine Benares) starts with a bang just weeks after The Trouble with Demons (Raine Benares, Book 3) showing Raine chasing down 1 of the 6 escaped "convicts" who broke free from the Saghred. Satisfied to have caught one, she knows she still has work to do to catch the nastiest of them all, Sarad Nukpana. Add to this the Reapers who want to siphon off the souls of the Saghred through Raine, her ever increasing popularity with the wrong sorts of politicians, an umi'atsu bond with Dark Mage Tam and Guardian Paladin Mychael, and a soul-stealing rock trying to tempt her, Raine is still up to her elven neck in trouble.
Things I loved:
1. The Love-Triangle is resolved--Raine makes a choice! The results felt natural and not forced. Also, there wasn't much drama about it nor angst. (I decided that if wasn't resolved in this book, I'd drop the series.)
2. A few (and one notable) enemies meet their end, for good.
3. Raine is starting to understand her power. What I appreciated about this is that even though she has a major-powerful rock to boost her power it is still HER power that gets the boost. She can't all the sudden do powerful sorcery unrivaled, her own meager powers get an upgrade, which she needs to fend off all the sharks out to get her. With help of her family and friends, she's starting to have more confidence in herself and what she can do. Refreshing.
4. Mychael--He finally cracks that Paladin exterior to let Raine see what kind of man he really is. We learn more about his past and what's formed him into the man we know.
5. Tam--we meet someone from his past and his true desires are put to the test.
6. Family--Raine has such a great family that surrounds her from her 934 year-old dad in a 20 year-olds body to her Pirate uncle who plots deviously (and underhandedly)against those in power to her horny cousin who always finds a way to help Raine and score some for himself at the same time. They really make Raine real.
Things I didn't like so much:
1. Exposition--it was mentioned in another review that the author kept referring in detail to past events. I didn't mind so much with this first reading because it's been a while since I read books 1-3, so I found it somewhat helpful. However, I do know that I will be skipping big paragraphs in future re-readings when I read it again. It was a very minor annoyance.
2. Still many loose ends--There seemed to be a few story lines that were started and just left there hanging. A few bad guys showed up once and then nothing, almost as if they just popped in so that we wouldn't forget about them. When the book ended I thought "Well what about....? and so-and-so....?"
All in all, I really had fun reading Raine's latest adventure. I'm looking forward to her next story. You know it's a good read when it makes you want to revisit the entire series from the beginning again--and that's just what it's done for me.
(Contains a few swear words, one sex scene detailed but not graphic, and fantasy violence.)

I just have one quick note for parents whose daughters are reading this series--this particular novel does have a (single) love scene that skillfully avoids any taboo words, but is certainly more detailed than any of the previous novels, so if you're concerned about what your children are reading, you may want to evaluate whether that particular scene is appropriate for your child.
BOTTOM LINE: This wasn't the very best book in the series so far, but it doesn't disappoint. If you are a fan of Raine and her ridiculous antics, then this will be as satisfying as anything else.
LOVE TRIANGLE: It's true- progress was made with the love triangle thing and it was low key. It felt natural and right- and such a relief. Though I will admit that I wished there was a bit more steam and sexual tension in this book. This is the book where the tension BREAKS, which is always bitter sweet.
CHARACTERS: I couldn't have asked for more. We get more Mychael. We see some character development with Tam. Paris and Talon are, as usual, troublemakers, but even there we see even more how much heart they provide the story and the main characters. The bond between Raine, Mychael and Tam both strengthens in some ways and lessens in others. Raine's Dad and other family become more vivid and important.
PLOT: Oddly complicated- it works for the most part, but it was almost as if there were two different story lines and it got confusing in some places and wasn't entirely resolved.
Seriously, though, I think I smiled through the entire book. This series in general just makes me HAPPY and this book lived up to my expectations.

2. Patricia Brigg's skinwalker/were/shifter centric Moon Called (Mercy Thompson)

Here's the deal. Winter weeds produce a lot of seeds. Those seeds produce a lot of new weeds... with more new seeds... You get the picture.
It's February. You probably just want to enjoy not having to mow your lawn every weekend but there's still work to be done... Work that can save you time and effort in the long run.
According to Rick Apple, President and owner of A&A Plants, this is a good time to get rid of those weeds. For one thing, it's easier to pick them now while the soil is moist. Plus since they don't have extensive root systems they should pull right out.
Here's the main reason to pull them now. If you don't, they will be back with reinforcements.
You see, every weed has seeds. Apple says if you pick them now, you may be able to catch them before they set those seeds free. If you wait until after they're dispersed, the seeds find another home in your lawn. They probably won't grow this year but next year, every seed could produce it's own weed. Some seeds can survive for decades in the soil!
So nip them in the bud... actually before they bud!

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Clipper's Paul is key in West's All-Star triumph
HOUSTON – The Clippers biggest star shone brightest in Texas Sunday night.
Chris Paul was named the game's Most Valuable Player as he orchestrated the Western Conference to a 143-138 win over the Eastern Conference in the NBA All-Star Game at the Toyota Center.
"Pretty special. Pretty special," Paul said of the award. "It's something I've never done, and it's something that I definitely, coming into the game, wasn't trying to achieve or thinking that it might even be possible."
Paul starred as he showed off his supreme dribbling and passing skills on his way to a double-double with 20 points and 15 assists.
"He's always looking to pass," Clippers forward Blake Griffin said of his teammate. "This is like his dream right here, having scorers everywhere. He makes the game fun."
Flanked by players like Griffin, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Houston's James Harden down the stretch, Paul made the right decision each time down the floor.
"He deserved it," Durant, the 2012 All-Star MVP, said. "He had great passes, making steals, making big buckets. He played a hell of a game and congratulations to him. It was a pleasure playing with him."
Paul cemented his place as a great player Sunday, but he also showed his teammates why he's so fun to be on the court with.
"Oh man. You'll love him just to play with him period," Memphis forward Zach Randolph said. "His I.Q., his ball-handling, how he gets players involved – the guy had 15 assists. You love to play with a point guard like that."
Paul even scored, albeit reluctantly, Sunday.
"Most of the time, I was wide open," Paul said. "...The other ones, the shot clock was running down. I was almost forced to shoot a couple of times."
But Paul wasn't the only star out West looking for his teammates Sunday.
Bryant, the all-time leading scorer in All-Star history, took on the role of facilitator, dishing out eight assists to go with nine points.
Griffin stayed in character though, delivering some of the biggest highlights of the night by playing higher above the rim than anyone else. Griffin finished with 19 points.
Lakers center Dwight Howard, who had his minutes limited to a pair of shifts with the starters, scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds in 14 minutes.
Durant led all scorers with 30 points.
New York forward Carmelo Anthony paced the East with 26 points, and Miami guard Dwyane Wade added 21 in the loss.

Linking static applications with Statifier and Ermine
The current workaround is to temporarily disable ASLR. To do so, become a root-equivalent user, write a 0 to the virtual file in question, then output the file to see that the settings are okay:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space 0
Now create the program again with Statifier. Unfortunately, you also need to disable ASLR on any systems on which you want to work with the statically linked version. I will leave it up to you to decide whether this compensates for the vulnerability it creates.
More Junk
Statifier and the light version of Ermine will only link in dynamic libraries (Statifier will not do this for the critical NSS (Name Service Switch) and Gconv (character set conversion) libraries). However, games in particular typically include material such as images or audio files, whereas application programs tend to offload translations into numerous .mo files. All of these files need to be moved to the new computer. Ermine Pro is the only program to include platform-independent files in the statically linked program. On top of this, the most expensive program in the field can combine multiple programs to create a single statically linked binary.
Because of its many bugs, Statifier is recommended only for smaller command-line tools. Unfortunately, the alternative, Ermine, costs money – how much exactly is open to negotiation with the vendor.
Private users are probably better off putting together a complete Live system. Fedora, Ubuntu, and other distributions include tools to help you build your own system; many rescue disks and other Live systems are also available on the Internet.

Gazprom warns Ukraine of new 'gas war'
March 7, 2014 - 21:28 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of Russia's state-run energy company Gazprom said Friday that Ukraine has stopped paying for Russian gas supplies, which could trigger a repetition of 2009's so-called "gas war" between the two countries, according to RIA Novosti.
Alexei Miller said crisis-hit Ukraine owes Russia about $1.89 billion in unpaid natural gas bills after failing to pay for February supplies.
"This violates our contract and international trade practices. We cannot supply natural gas for free," Miller told reporters in Moscow.
"Ukraine must pay off its debts and current deliveries or face the risk of returning to the 2009 scenario, when Russia halted all deliveries to Europe via Ukraine's pipeline system for two weeks," he said.
Gazprom has already announced that it will annul its discount on natural gas sales to Ukraine from April, following last month's ouster of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Russia and Ukraine have long fought over natural gas deliveries, jeopardizing supplies to Europe, a major Russian gas buyer. In 2009, the most severely affected countries were in southeastern Europe as Bulgaria was forced to stop production at some of its industrial plants, while Slovakia even declared a state of emergency.
Top stories
"The two sides are currently preparing the required infrastructure for boosting natural gas exchange," NIGEC chief Alireza Kameli said.
Sargsyan said fingerprints of some 1.5 million potential voters will have to be collected which requires a lot of work.
The country's foreign trade turnover increased by 6.8% in January – May, compared with figures registered in the same period in 2015.
Foreign trade turnover amounted to $1.46 billion in the first four months of 2016, growing by 4,2% against the same period in 2016.
