NanoString Scores $20M Series D Financing to Progress Diagnostic Platform
NanoString Technologies reports the closing of a $20 million Series D round of equity financing. The proceeds of the financing will be used to grow NanoString's life science tools business as well as advance the development of the company's first molecular diagnostic product, a breast cancer assay based on the PAM50 gene expression signature.
This investment in NanoString represents the first by GE's healthymagination Fund that is aligned with GE Healthcare's recently announced $1 billion commitment to new oncology R&D. "NanoString is a good strategic fit with GE Healthcare, given our common focus on oncology," notes Pascale Witz, president and CEO of GE Healthcare's medical diagnostics business. "We believe NanoString's nCounter® Analysis System gives researchers the potential to take basic biomarker discoveries into the clinic."
Other new investors include BioMed Ventures and Henri Termeer, former chairman and CEO of Genzyme. All previous venture investors in NanoString also participated in the financing, including Clarus Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and OVP Venture Partners.
The nCounter Analysis System is currently available for research use only and was introduced in 2008. The firm provides assays for gene expression, miRNA analysis, and copy number variation. It is a fully automated, multi-application digital detection and counting system. It reportedly delivers multiplexed, direct profiling of individual molecules in a single reaction without amplification.
NanoString recently launched its second-generation nCounter system, which includes the hardware upon which the company will pursue regulatory clearance for its breast cancer subtyping assay and other molecular diagnostic assays.

Do You Walk In White?
No one experiences complete sanctification without going through a "white funeral" — the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crucial moment of change through death, sanctification will never be more than an elusive dream.

Do You Walk In White?
No one enters into the experience of entire sanctification without going through a "white funeral" - the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crisis of death, sanctification is nothing more than a vision. There must be a "white funeral," - a death that has only one resurrection - a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ. Nothing can upset such a life, it is one with God for one purpose, to be a witness to Him.
Prayerful Inner-Searching
"Your whole spirit…." The great, mysterious work of the Holy Spirit is in the deep recesses of our being which we cannot reach. Read Psalm 139. The psalmist implies— "O Lord, You are the God of the early mornings, the God of the late nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea. But, my God, my…
Intercessory Introspection
"Your whole spirit. . ." The great mystical work of the Holy Spirit is in the dim regions of our personality which we cannot get at. Read the 139th Psalm; the Psalmist implies - "Thou art the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea; but, my God, my soul has further horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any sea in nature - Thou Who art the God of all these, be my God. I cannot reach to the heights or to the depths; there are motives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot get at - my God, search me out."
"And Every Virtue We Possess"
Our Lord never "patches up" our natural virtues, that is, our natural traits, qualities, or characteristics. He completely remakes a person on the inside— "…put on the new man…" (Ephesians 4:24). In other words, see that your natural human life is putting on all that is in keeping with the new life. The life God places within us develops its…
"And Every Virtue We Possess"
Our Lord never patches up our natural virtues, He re-makes the whole man on the inside. "Put on the new man," i.e., see that your natural human life puts on the garb that is in keeping with the new life. The life God plants in us develops its own virtues, not the virtues of Adam but of Jesus Christ. Watch how God will wither up your confidence in natural virtues after sanctification, and in any power you have, until you learn to draw your life from the reservoir of the resurrection life of Jesus. Thank God if you are going through a drying-up experience!
Deserter or Disciple?
When God, by His Spirit through His Word, gives you a clear vision of His will, you must "walk in the light" of that vision (1 John 1:7). Even though your mind and soul may be thrilled by it, if you don't "walk in the light" of it you will sink to a level of bondage never envisioned by our…
Deserter Or Disciple?
When God gives a vision by His Spirit through His word of what He wants, and your mind and soul thrill to it, if you do not walk in the light of that vision, you will sink into servitude to a point of view which Our Lord never had. Disobedience in mind to the heavenly vision will make you a slave to points of view that are alien to Jesus Christ. Do not look at someone else and say - Well, if he can have those views and prosper, why cannot I? You have to walk in the light of the vision that has been given to you and not compare yourself with others or judge them, that is between them and God. When you find that a point of view in which you have been delighting clashes with the heavenly vision and you debate, certain things will begin to develop in you - a sense of property and a sense of personal right, things of which Jesus Christ made nothing. He was always against these things as being the root of everything alien to Himself. "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things that he possesseth." If we do not recognize this, it is because we are ignoring the undercurrent of Our Lord's teaching.
Continuous Conversion
These words of our Lord refer to our initial conversion, but we should continue to turn to God as children, being continuously converted every day of our lives. If we trust in our own abilities, instead of God's, we produce consequences for which God will hold us responsible. When God through His sovereignty brings us into new situations, we should…

Arizona Diamondbacks
Justin Upton says first game back at Chase is just another game
"No, it's a baseball game."
That was Atlanta Braves outfielder Justin Upton's response when he was asked Monday afternoon if there would be a little more adrenaline flowing in the opener of a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
The D-backs made Upton the first overall selection of the 2005 MLB First Year Player Draft and he spent six seasons in Sedona Red, helping the team to two National League West titles. Monday marks his first game as an opponent of the Diamondbacks.
"All this leading up to it is a little bit more than the game will be. It's not Game 7 of the World Series and there's going to be a lot of games coming after this one so you take it in stride and play three games on the road and get back home."
Arizona dealt the two-time All-Star and infielder Chris Johnson to the Braves in January in exchange for five players, including former All-Star Martin Prado. Since arriving in Atlanta, Upton has made his mark. The 25-year-old leads the National League in home runs with 12 and the Braves currently sit atop the NL East.
"Coming back with a different team is definitely a different feeling, but we're here to play baseball," Upton said. "It's going to be cool to play in front of the fans again, play in the stadium again in familiar surroundings, but at the end of the day it's just baseball."
Despite being the first overall pick and a cornerstone of the franchise, Upton was never the fan favorite that you'd expect a player with his skill set to be. Upton isn't sure about what kind of fan reaction he'll get when he steps into the batter's box for the first time.
"I don't know, I'd like it to be good," he said. "But I'm on the other team, I'm wearing different colors, so you never know what you're going to get."
Despite trade rumors that persisted for three offseasons, Upton has no regrets about his time in Arizona.
"Not at all," he said. "I went out and played with the guys that I enjoyed playing with and had a good time with in the clubhouse.
"Those relationships that you gain when you're playing in the clubhouse with guys, it doesn't matter what team you're on, those are the guys you battle with every night, so definitely no regrets."

THE DIVINE SECRETThe Awesome and Untold Truth About Your Phenomenal Destiny
By Joe Kovacs
Bancroft PressCopyright © 2012 Joe Kovacs
All right reserved.
Chapter OneDo You Want to Know A Secret?
Is there something really important about your future that you're not being told?
Is there some crucial information that discloses your intended destiny, but for whatever reason has not found its way into your head?
Is there an epic secret that's been kept under wraps for virtually the entirety of human existence—a mystery so magnificent you just might have trouble believing it once you unlock it?
Even if you were fully aware of such a hidden treasure of information, what would you do with it? Would you be willing to make changes in your life to turn the secret into reality? Or would you just leave it alone and continue with your routine, day-to-day existence?
Well, have I got news for you! The secret you're about to find out is big news—tremendously good news, and probably the best news you could ever imagine for you personally.
It's not a traditional secret in the sense of being an entry in someone's diary. It's not someone's hidden romantic desire—a secret yearning to love someone else. It's not a state secret, packed with intrigue, obtained when governments engage in dangerous, unseemly, covert action. It's not a secret diplomatic cable that's been leaked on the Internet. And it's not some kind of a trade secret, such as the formula for Coca-Cola or the Colonel's "secret recipe" of herbs and spices for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
It's a secret of infinite proportions, and one that would change the course of human history if it were common knowledge. In fact, had this secret been generally known two thousand years ago, the man named Jesus of Nazareth, according to your very own Bible, would not have been crucified. And if the entire world knew it today and put it into action, people wouldn't be fretting about Armageddon, because the so-called "end of the world" would never arrive. While the world as a whole will neither learn nor accept the secret in this lifetime, we as individuals can do so, and embrace its magnificent blessings.
It's high time you learn what this secret is, and understand the true meaning of not only your life and ultimate destiny, but also the lives and destinies of countless others.
The word "secret" itself is a fascinating, enthralling term. It's an expression that tends to stop people in their tracks, prompting them to pay attention. Dictionaries define it as a mystery—as something hidden or unexplained, along with something kept from the knowledge of others or shared only confidentially with a few.
Everyone has secrets, whether they be good ones, bad ones, or ones that nobody gives a flying hoot about. Some people go to extraordinary lengths to hold onto their secrets, while others have less of a problem sharing them. But virtually everyone seems to be engrossed by knowledge and information, especially when he or she thinks it's been concealed.
Now add the word "divine" to the word "secret," and you heighten interest in finding out what's been hidden. Since millions of people seek a connection to the divine, unseen world of God, there has to be something really special and juicy about a "divine secret," doesn't there? Just what might that divine secret be? Is there some sort of God-inspired mystery that hasn't been unsealed, or some special information that's gone untrumpeted for thousands of years? If so, what is it? And where can it be located?
The answers can actually be found in the Holy Bible, the ultimate source of written truth. Though it's the bestselling book of all time, it's also among the least understood. You probably already know that the Bible is a book about many things, including inspiration, history, sex, prophecy (which is actually news events written before they happen), revelations about the Creator of all things, and instructions for mankind on the proper way to live. But it's also about something else.
In case you've never thought of it this way, the Bible is actually a book containing a truly divine secret. It's not a fictional mystery you might see in a novel, children's storybook tale, or Hollywood movie. It's not a guessing game of some kind or a mathematical secret buried in numeric codes written in ancient languages. The Bible itself outright declares it contains a divine secret—in fact, more than one secret, all of which are fascinating mysteries about God and human beings.
Some passages in assorted Bible translations refer to "God's secret," "God's secret wisdom," "God's mysterious plan," "a wonderful secret," "the secret that was hidden from everyone," "the secret of the Good News," "the mysteries of God," and "the mysteries of the kingdom of God."
Wow! Scripture makes it more than obvious that God has a mysterious, secret plan, so let's take a look at some of the quotations that mention it. Perhaps the single most declarative verse about the Bible's divine secret is found in the New Testament, in the book of Colossians, stating:
This message is the secret that was hidden from everyone since the beginning of time ... (Colossians 1:26 NCV)
There it is, right on the page of your own Bible. The apostle Paul talked about some sort of secret hidden from everyone since the human clock started ticking. Please feel free to check your favorite version of Scripture, and you'll discover it discusses a secret or mystery that's been kept under wraps throughout the ages.
But if you think this is just some rogue sentence that's either a mistranslation or simply doesn't belong in the Bible, please think again. Paul used very similar language numerous times elsewhere, as he discussed:
... the mystery kept secret since the world began ... (Romans 16:25 NKJV)
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages ... (1 Corinthians 2:7 NKJV)
Once again, Paul cited a certain plan of God, labeling it a mystery kept secret from the beginning. These are not my words. They're the words of the Holy Bible, and I encourage you to crack open your own Bible and read them yourself. As Paul continued his thought in 1 Corinthians, he admitted that Jesus would never have been executed if the people in charge at that time comprehended this mysterious plan: "None of the rulers of this world understood it. If they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (1 Corinthians 2:8 NCV)
Paul also taught that those who follow the truth are actually special agents of sorts: "So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God." (1 Corinthians 4:1 NIV)
Did you catch what Paul said? People who are servants of Christ are actually entrusted with the secret things of God. There are indeed some things hidden from the world's general population, but true followers of Jesus are meant to know the secret things.
But Paul wasn't alone in addressing this. Jesus Christ, God Himself in the flesh, used terms including "secret" and "mysteries." In fact, when Jesus was asked directly about why He so often spoke to people in puzzling analogies known as parables instead of just explaining things simply and clearly, He gave an answer that even today surprises many Christians who wrongly assume Jesus was the great communicator-in-chief. Jesus indicated He was purposely HIDING His message from the vast majority of the public, intending it only for a select few at that time. Here's what He told His apostles:
You are permitted to understand the secret about the Kingdom of God. But I am using these stories to conceal everything about it from outsiders. (Mark 4:11 NLT)
To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.' (Luke 8:10 NKJV)
Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. (Matthew 13:11 NKJV)
Jesus used stories to tell all these things to the people; he always used stories to teach them. This is as the prophet said: "I will speak using stories; I will tell things that have been secret since the world was made." (Matthew 13:34-35 NCV)
Yes, you're reading those quotes correctly. If you've been under the impression that Jesus was sent to Earth to clear things up and make everything easy to understand in an instant, you're no doubt stunned. That notion is simply untrue, according to Scripture. Jesus more than once said some things had been kept secret since the world was made. He stressed that He was taking deliberate steps to conceal the secrets, to hide the mysteries of God's kingdom from the general populace, yet at the same time was revealing the divine secret only to His closest followers.
It's No Secret
The situation is drenched with irony, because while the Bible goes out of its way to let us know a divine secret exists, it also mentions that people are glorified when they try to discover what God has hidden: "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." (Proverbs 25:2 NIV)
Moreover, Scripture indicates that God at times unwraps secrets, at least for certain people. For instance, in the Old Testament, we read of God's prophet Daniel and a Babylonian king named Nebuchadnezzar, both of whom acknowledged that God is the one who reveals secret information. Referring to God, Daniel said, "He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things ..." (Daniel 2:21-22 NKJV)
As Daniel was helping the king understand a disturbing dream, Daniel again noted: "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets ..." (Daniel 2:28 NKJV)
And after Daniel had informed Nebuchadnezzar of the dream's content and its proper interpretation forecasting future events, even the pagan monarch declared, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets ..." (Daniel 2:47 NKJV)
Elsewhere in the Old Testament, we find statements indicating that God's hidden information will be made known:
The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. (Psalm 25:14 NKJV)
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7 NKJV)
I don't wish to sound like a broken record, but it's amazing how often the Bible clearly says secret, hidden information exists, and that it does become disclosed. The New Testament agrees, and has a variety of examples confirming this. The gospel of Matthew states:
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have HIDDEN these things from the wise and learned, and REVEALED them to little children." (Matthew 11:25 NIV, emphasis added)
And in the gospel of Luke, Jesus noted, "For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light." (Luke 8:17 NKJV)
That's right, secrets will be revealed, and what's surprising to many folks is that we don't have to wait until we die or until Jesus comes back to find out one of the best secrets—the divine secret that involves you and your future.
In the book of Ephesians, Paul indicated he was personally selected by God to reveal what had been concealed: "I was chosen to explain to everyone this plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning." (Ephesians 3:9 NLT)
A few chapters later, he made this request of his fellow Christians: "Also pray for me that when I speak, God will give me words so that I can tell the secret of the Good News without fear." (Ephesians 6:19 NCV)
Once again, Scripture plainly talks about "the secret of the Good News," and once again it mentions that a servant of God— in this case, Paul—was looking to announce that secret fearlessly back in his own day! Yes, back in the days when the New Testament was being compiled. It's not meant to be a secret that's kept from you or me or anyone for the past two millennia. In other words, it's no secret! At least, it's no secret any longer, and anyone and everyone can know it. It's meant to be revealed. It's meant to be trumpeted. It's meant to be proclaimed throughout the land. And it's meant to be understood by the servants of God:
This message is the secret that was hidden from everyone since the beginning of time, but now it is made known to God's holy people. (Colossians 1:26 NCV)
That's the verse I opened this chapter with, but now I've provided the entire sentence to stress that it's not a mystery anymore. It's now made known to those following God, to those who want to learn.
Are you finally curious? Do you want to learn what this exclusive, long-hidden knowledge actually is? Are you daring enough to take off the blinders and dump all those preconceived notions and assumptions that may have held you back from understanding the actual Good News, which is what the word "gospel" literally means? Do you genuinely wish to find out what's truly meant for your life, the lives of your family and friends, and the real reason why we're all here? Are you willing to let the Bible speak for itself and accept the words actually written on its pages, even when some people will tell you the Bible doesn't really mean what it says? And once you learn the sensational secret, are you going to embrace it, cherish it, and share it with others, or will you be among those who ignore it or continue to hide it?
There's nothing to fear. The time has come for the incredible truth of your intended destiny to be unveiled, understood, and broadcast. It's time to reveal the divine secret.
In the Real Beginning
To understand what the divine secret is and the fantastic future it holds for you, let's start by traveling back in time. After all, we've read that the message is "the secret that was hidden from everyone since the beginning of time," as well as a "mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages."
So let's journey back. Way back. Back before television shows transitioned from black-and-white to color, back before atomic weaponry was developed. Let's travel to a period when there were no such things as cities and countries. Back before the very first line of the Bible, which says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1 NKJV)
Let's go back to a period before there were planets, and back before the stars were created. We're traveling far back into cosmic antiquity to the beginning. I mean the real beginning. The Bible itself actually reveals a time prior to the creation of everything material you currently see and feel around you. This super-ancient epoch is found in the first chapter of the gospel of John, where we read the famous opening lines, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." (John 1:1-2 NKJV)
It's here in the deepest recesses of the cosmic past, before the creation of the physical universe, where we're introduced to two beings—the Word and God—both of whom happen to be God.
But who is the Word? And who is God? And how can both of these figures be called "God?"
To answer these questions, it's important to understand some key information.
First of all, God is described throughout countless translations of the Bible as being "spirit." The King James Version, for instance, declares: "God is a Spirit." (John 4:24) Many other translations leave out the indefinite article, and just simply state that "God is Spirit."
Either way, it means that God is not composed of the physical, fleshy material from the ground that make up the ingredients inside you and me. God doesn't consist of any element on the periodic table, such as hydrogen, oxygen, helium, or gold. God is not a carbon-based being. (I guess that means God doesn't have a carbon footprint either. But I digress.)
God is comprised of something other than matter. That something else is called spirit. The Bible itself notes that "a spirit does not have flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39 NKJV). So God is actually composed of spirit, not being made up of flesh or physical matter as we know it.
The second important point is that the English word "God" is translated from a Hebrew word that is not singular, but plural. That's correct—PLURAL, as in more than one. The original term that's translated as "God" in the book of Genesis in your very own Bible is Elohim, a plural word in Hebrew.
You may never have heard or understood that before, but it's completely consistent with what we've read so far dating back to the real beginning, with more than one person mentioned. Remember, the Bible indicates "the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." (John 1:1-2 NKJV)
If you're having trouble comprehending this, here's a brief analogy to make the concept a bit easier to understand. Take a look at these two sentences:
In the room, there was Nancy, and Nancy was with Reagan, and Nancy was Reagan. She was in the room with Reagan.

Movie Plot: In the 1910s, Srinivasa Ramanujan is a man of boundless intelligence that even the abject poverty of his home in Madras, India cannot crush. Eventually, his stellar intelligence in mathematics and his boundless confidence in both attract the attention of the noted British mathematics professor, G.H. Hardy, who invites him to further develop his computations at Trinity College at Cambridge. Forced to leave his young wife, Janaki, behind, Ramanujan finds himself in a land where both his largely intuitive mathematical theories and his cultural values run headlong into both the stringent academic requirements of his school and mentor and the prejudiced realities of a Britain heading into World War One. Facing this with a family back home determined to keep him from his wife and his own declining health, Ramanujan joins with Hardy in a mutual struggle that would define Ramanujan as one of India's greatest modern scholars who broke more than one barrier in his worlds.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the cover of Sports Illustrated's NFL preview issue.
The photo, with Rodgers standing behind center Scott Wells, is meant to highlight a story by writer Peter King about spread offenses and blitz packages. It is one of five regional covers put out by the magazine.
On the other hand, fans might be worried about the SI jinx.

|Landscape Photography Show
|*Landscape Photography Show #46: Power Points* In the last two events, we explored the horizontal and vertical rule of thirds lines and how they divide your frame into 9 equal parts. It's always great to set a horizon on the lower or upper horizontal line. It's also good to place a strong element along one of the vertical rule of thirds lines. This event will focus on where the two vertical and horizontal rule of thirds lines intersect. We call those Power Points. There are 4 of them: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Placing a strong element at one of the Power Points can really improve the composition, drama, and power of your photograph. Examples: the single red leaf on a green tree; the eye of anything wildlife, and the setting sun on the horizon. Some landscape photographs really appeal to us and others seem boring. Do you know why? Your brain is being stimulated by composition, color, and contrast and it's all subconscious. Your photos can be more interesting and appealing by knowing rules of composition and when to break those rules. Power Points are what we want practice with this event. Show us something special place at one of the intersection points of those vertical and horizontal lines. 1. Share your landscape photograph that displays something special at one of the Power Points. 2. In a comment on the photograph tell us which Power Point you used: upper left, upper right, lower left, or lower right. Explain how you used this technique in your composition. If you break the Power Point rules, tell us why. Also give us some information about the location and any challenges that you faced. We want to know the details about your photograph. 3. Other participants will be discussing how you used this technique and asking you questions. Please join the discussion on other photographs as well. 4.

Green Heron in the rain...
Almost a month ago now, on my last full day in Florida for the Space Coast Birding Festival, I took a group of Point and Shoot Nature Photographers to the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera to photograph birds. It rained off and on all morning, but we had a great time. This Green Heron was working the ditch on the outside of the tour loop, in the company of several White Ibis and a couple of Snowy Egrets. He was particularly acrobatic and kept us entertained long enough to get too damp :)

Last night my daughter Kelia played
a varied repertoire at their senior
recital...Beethoven and Bach, Villa-
Lobos and Chopin, as well as an
original duet...and made it all look
(and sound) easy. 2 sisters came
from Boston and Pittsburgh, uncles
and cousins from nearby in Conneticut,
a lot of her boyfriend's family from
south of Boston, mom and I down from
Maine, and a dozen or so of her friends
from campus...an appreciative audience.
Who knew, when she sat down at the
piano at 4 and her mother taught her
the Suzuki Twinkle Variations that
she would make such music on the
stage at Hartt, teasing and pounding
the sound from the piano by turn, filling
the room with her poise and command.

Sunday into Monday we had a blizzard
as a nor-easter spun off the coast, dropping
18 inches, and then on Wednesday we got
rain, turning to heavy snow after midnight
for another 6 to 8 in total...and in all that
time we did not see a single bird at the back
deck feeding station...not one. I have to
wonder where they went? Were they deep in
against the trunks of pines, feathers fluffed,
waiting it out...or did they fly 60 miles south
to get below the storm? They are back again
this morning, busy at the feeders in the February
sun. I can't tell where they were from the look
of them. Hibernation or vacation? I am sorely
tempted, though, to learn a lesson for the next
time a nor-easter spins its way up the coast.

Maine Winter Morning
Yesterday was one of the most visually beautiful days I have ever experienced in Southern Maine. We had 3 feet of snow on the ground, and another 6 inches fell over-night…wet, clingy snow that stuck where it first touched, so every tree and bush had its frosting of snow. Unfortunately that meant that the snow in our drive was a mix of snow and not quite frozen water…heavy to lift in the shovel, and a real chore for the snowblower. My first project was to get the drive cleared and the cars out, but then I took a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the beauty. My neighbor was out with his snowblower and saw me walking by. "Beautiful," he said, "but a pain in the butt." "Beautiful," I said, "but a pain in the lower back." Certainly beautiful though. By noon the sun was coming out, there was some blue in the sky, and the scenery went from beautiful to spectacular. If you... more »

For the love of landscape...
One of the most visually beautiful days I have ever experienced in Southern Maine. Branch Brook marsh, off Route 9, just at the Kennebunk/Wells border. In-camera HDR. Sony Rx10iii. Processed in Polarr. Some snow balls from the road plow removed at the bottom with TouchRetouch. All on the iPad Pro.

February 16
By noon the sun was coming out
on a world where 6 inches of wet
clingy snow had fallen on a 3 foot
base. There had been no wind, so
every tree branch and bow was
burdened white. The clouds did
not so much break as dissolve,
painting the sky with streaks and
banners, curtains and puffs, just less
white than the snowy landscape,
leaving patches of high blue showing
through. It was achingly beautiful...
like something from a fairy tale...
if you listened you could hear, behind
the silence, the sound of sleigh runners,
and the bells as unicorns stamp in
harness. Any winter, any lifetime,
has too few days like this to waste.

A line of Little Blues...
We have 6 inches of new snow this morning, and I will have to go out and move it out of the drive in a few moments, so, as a form of resistance, it is back to last month's trip to Florida. It was actually only a few degrees warmer than it will be here today when I took this off Blackpoint Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville. I was as bundled up as I could be and the wind was blowing a gale. Little Blue Herons working a line in a shallow pool. Ever hopeful. :)

Valentine's Day candy at half price
today in most stores, including our
grocery, where I had to go to buy
butter, and fruit, potatoes and celery,
onions and sundries, so, considering
we only got the cars out of the snow
drift where they had been buried for
two days in time for supper, and I had
no chocolate to sweeten the day for
my love on the 14th, I bought her a
box of half price chocolate cherries.
I would call that a blessed confluence
of romance and opportunity. You,
of course, may call it what you want.

Yet another shot of the Kennebunk Eagle!
In my never ending quest to get a really good shot of the Bald Eagles that hang out on the Mousam River at Roger's Pond Park here in Kennebunk Maine, this is the best so far. I would certainly like to get closer! At least this one is in the open and in the early sun.

So if the new snowblower comes on
Valentine's Day, does that count as
Valentine's present? Such romance!
We managed to get both cars out of their
snowy entombment at the end of the
drive...no mean feet as our less than
satisfactory plowman put most of the
snow from the street end of the drive
behind one of them, in a pile taller than
our poor little Hyundai and both that and
the C-Max Hybred were buried up to the
side windows in a drift, both sides. Still
between Carol and I, two shovels and the
new snowblower, we did it. It is good for
couples to have a common goal and to be
able to work together, don't you think?
Like I say the essence of the romantic
intention on Valentine's Day or any other.
Happy Valentine's Day, my love.

I saw these giant thistles in bloom along the first mile of Blackpoint Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville Florida every time I drove the loop, but it was not until my last visit of the trip that I forced myself to take a moment for a photo. I think they are just Bull Thistle, a common weed, but the specimens on Blackpoint were certainly spectacular. This was my 3rd and final thistle stop. I pulled over because of the particularly intense color but was rewarded with the perfect contrast in the Florida White feeding deep in the bloom.

The snow came off our front metal roof
in one solid sheet, 18 inches deep with
6 inches of ice at the leading edge, with
the sound of stampeding buffalo or a
freight train passing at arms length, took
the porch rail with it, filled the walk for
8 feet, 4 feet deep, and landed with a thud
that must have shaken the dishes and rattled
the glasses in the cupboards of both next
door houses a 100 yards away. But we
have no leaks. And even after digging 90
cubic feet of compacted snow out of the
walk, that is something to be thankful for.

The blizzard of February 2017. I got out on my snowshoes this morning for a few pics. 18 inches fell in our driveway in Kennebunk Maine so far. A pile of snow over 5 feet tall at the end of the drive from the street plow. Higher than the mailboxes all along the road. Good thing there is no where we need to be this morning. :)

Outside here in Southern Maine there is a blizzard blowing. It started mid-afternoon yesterday and will not blow itself out until late this afternoon. We are expecting 12-24 inches of snow. I would say we already have 12. So, as a counter measure I am going back a few weeks to my visit to Florida for the Space Coast Birding and Nature Festival in Titusville. I still have many images I have not shared. A year ago in Florida, Roseate Spoonbills were everywhere at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge...in large numbers and close in on Blackpoint Wildlife Drive. This year they were few and far between. I never did see in the water at Merritt Island. They were all flybys. The only one I saw feeding was a lone Spoonbill at Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Viera Florida on our last rainy day field trip there with my Point and Shoot Nature Photographer group. The subdued, damp light... more »

The February blizzard of 2017 is upon us.
Snow began an hour ago, dropping over
us like a curtain...no fade in with a few
flakes falling as a warning or preview,
just sudden heavy snow falling on a north
east wind. At noon I made one last grocery
run...just cereal and milk in case they don't
get the roads cleared early enough on Tuesday
or the guy we hired to plow the drive does not
get to us by then (the snowblower is suddenly
showing its age and the new one will not be
delivered until late Tuesday). The grocery
was packed...aisles crowed and every register
open with its line of 4 to 5. Seems the whole
town remembered something they might need
tomorrow. We have our supplies laid in, and
barring something unforseen like downed
power lines, we will be fine. No where we
have to be... more »

Snowfence. Happy Sunday!
"If your eye is generous, your whole being is full of light!" Jesus
This little stretch of snowfence protects a corner in an access road for a group houses on our local beach, where the wind across the marsh might drift the snow across the road. As you can tell from its condition, it has stood there at least since I moved here over 20 years ago, and I can't honestly remember it looking any better then. This is after about a foot, maybe 8 inches right along the coast, within the sound of the surf, of fresh blowing snow. We expect another 12-24 inches in next 24 hours, a real nor-easter. The snowfence does its job, more or less. There is, every nor-easter, a sizable drift in front of it. Because, of course, that is the way it works. It is not so much a snowfence as wind fence. By slowing the passing wind, it causes the snow to drop out on the downwind side.... more »

My diet is going well, for those
who might be wondering...
I have the same fruit, more or less.
each noon...a banana, an orange, and,
weeks they are on sale, a small bunch
of grapes, but at supper time I visit
the far corners of the world...
tonight a touch of the east: a sauce
of Garam Masala and a touch of Curry
powder in a coconut milk base with
potatoes and mixed veg, or, last time
I cooked, a south of the border taste:
green and red peppers, onions, potato,
and green chilli in a tomatillo sauce,
or it migth be China: with bean sprouts
and carrots and peas and corn and lima
beans in orange ginger sauce over a bit

inspiration, and a little... more »

The Bluebird of unhappiness...
We continue to get unusual numbers of Bluebirds in the yard this winter...any at all is unusual, as before this winter we had never had one...but they are appearing in small flocks of 4-8 individuals at least once a week. We even had one at the sunflower feeder yesterday, and that is very unusual for a Bluebird. I have to say, they did not look like the bluebirds of happiness yesterday with a foot of new snow on the ground covering their feeding areas and temperatures in the single digits. This image was taken through the thermopane glass of the kitchen sliding door, so it is not as sharp as it might be, but it does catch the frumpy attitude of a cold Bluebird. There is another foot or more of snow in the forecast over the next 2 days, so I don't think the Bluebirds' mood is going to improve anytime soon. We may see more of them at the sunflower feeder... more »

I blew the drive free of snow before
sunup this morning and was at Roger's
Pond Park just as the sun hit the big
pines across the river. One Eagle flew
off as I got out of the car, but the other
sat, closer than I have seen it, in a
maple rooted near the water...still
high, but certainly the best spot for
photos this season so far. All this
before breakfast, and, since the sun
was shining on the fresh snow, I drove
down to the lower Mousam behind
the beach, the marshes along Back
Creek, for some early landscapes
and my traditional half-buried snow-
fence shot. Got home just in time to see
4 Bluebirds land on the deck by the feeders.
Still only 8 degrees out, and I already
out of my coat, so I had to shoot them
through the glass of the sliding door.
This deep into winter, I need... more »

Kennebunk Eagle...
Here is the best of my shots from my encounter with the Kennebunk Eagle two days ago. I celebrated the encounter with a poem that day too. February 8. A pair of Bald Eagles nest somewhere along the Mousam between the bridge over the Mousam on Route 1 and the bridge on Route 9. Probably someone knows where, but I don't. It must be on private land along the river. The pair, or one or the other of them, is often perched across the river from Roger's Pond Park just off Route 1 in the center of town. I go there several times a week in hopes of catching one on a perch low enough for good photos. This one was not...it was high up in a tall pine half way up the big bank on the other side of the river.
I shot this at 600mm equivalent field of view, then processed it in Polarr on my iPad Pro, then cropped it heavily in BigPhoto and upscaled it to 16mp again, so it... more »

Blizzard. It just snows and snows
and snows, and blows snow sideways.
I have cleared the drive and walks
twice today, 6-8 inches each time,
18 at the end where the snowplow

there is another inch already there.
If I were shoveling instead of blowing
I would never get it cleared. I am
tempted to say it is demoralizing,
since that word is in the news today,
but it isn't. I come in feeling pretty
good, like I had my crack at winter
and winter had its crack at me, and
winter did not win. It is maybe a
Maine thing...certainly a New Eng-
land attitude. Aaah. A little snow can't
get us down. No sir ree. It is supposed
to stop by 7 pm. I may get back out for
a final pass and clear-out by porch
and street light, or I may leave it until... more »

White Pelicans posing...
There were a few American White Pelicans at Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Viera, Florida when I visited with my Point and Shoot Nature Photography class last month. Two of these three seemed intent on posing. It rained off and on all the time we were there and though the light was subdued, it was actually pretty good light for white birds. You can see the unusual amount of feather detail in this pair.

We had a good 4 inches of snow yesterday
and overnight, so my first project of the
morning was to drag the snowblower up
the stairs from the basement and blow the
snow from our walk and drive...a good
2 feet in a pile where the street plow had
left it across the end...so I did not get out
early to look for the Eagle at Roger's Pond
Park on the Mousam River. It was just
before noon by the time I got far enough
along in various other projects (income
taxes and book I am writing on Point and
Shoot Photography) to notice that I was
getting hungary. We were out of bananas,
a stable of my lunch, so I headed out to
Hannifords to restock. Of course I took
the camera just in case, and though it was
so late, stopped by the Park. And there it
was, my Eagle, on the same perch were
I saw it last.... more »

Wood Stork attended...
This appears to a Wood Stork attended by a Snowy Egret and two White Ibis. Mixed species feeding groups are common among birds, and especially common among wading birds. In fact, groups of waders might more properly be called "cooperative feeding groups" Each species in the group benefits from the activity of the others. White Ibis and Egrets often feed together. They are after different prey, and in going after what each wants they stir up what the other wants. The Wood Stork in this image is not really part of the group. It is simply standing and preening while the Egret and Ibis move around it. Still it makes an interesting, visually, grouping. :)

Yesterday I walked 2 miles up
and down Atlantic Avenue in
Wells Beach, in the February
freeze, my heavy parka and
lobster claw gloves on, hood
up and drawn tight, scanning every
rooftop for the rumored Snowy
Owl...more than rumor actually,
it was seen every day last week
by someone, and photographed
more than once. There was, in
fact, a steady tease of photos on
Facebook. I feel like I know this
owl already, as least as well as
many of my Facebook friends.
If I close my eyes I can see her
eyes, wide open, looking at me
from someone else's Facebook
page, so yellow, so bright and
sharp with intelligence. Now if
I could only find her. I feel just
a bit better knowing (from Face-
book reports again) that no one
else has seen her these last
3 days. Maybe she... more »

Pine Siskin
I have not seen a Pine Siskin in our yard for many years now, perhaps as many as ten...until yesterday. A Bluebird sitting on the deck rail below the feeders caught my eye and sent me for the camera. It popped up into the trees behind the feeders when I opened the deck door and I got of a few shots before it moved over to a group of Bluebirds and Juncos feeding under our big pine, but then as I stood there with my head out the door in the February cold, several birds came to the thistle sock. At first, of course, I thought I was looking at very pale winter Goldfiches, but a second look showed them to be Pine Siskins. What do you know? Of course they may come every year and I have just missed them for the past 10, but I was certainly delighted to see them. We have had Bluebirds in the yead for the first time this winter, and others in area are reporting more Bluebirds then normal, and... more »

I saw my eagle today, just for a second
as it soared out from a low perch just as I
drove into Roger's Pond Park...I thought,
for a moment there, that it would settle
in the big maple on my side of the river,
but it turned and winged its way upriver
and out of sight. If only I had not spent
those 10 minutes on the Pine Siskins at
the feeder before I left the house. But then,
I have not seen siskins in the yard for 10
years or more, and who knew, honestly,
that the eagle would not wait for even
such a slight indulgence of siskins.

American Bittern
American Bitterns are always a treat for me to see. I have only seen them in Florida and New Jersey...mostly in Florida, and I only get to Florida a few times a year. This one is at Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Viera Florida, one of the best places for bird photography on the east coast. Not the closest view I have ever had, but satisfying in its context, and in the pose...classic bittern.

Envy is an ugly emotion. I see
photos of my eagles and my
local owls (Snowy Owls at that)
taken by others on days I have
actually looked, and can not
help but feel a twinge, a stab
of jealousy, sharp up under
my ribs. My eyes turn just
a little green. I tell myself
I have seen plenty, and had
more photo ops than most...
I have traveled the country
and been 5 times now to
Central America, and once
to Africa (not to mention
Germany and Austria and
Hungary, the plateaus and
plains and Pyrenees of Spain)
and I try to be happy for the
photographers working my
turf with such success. But
then a facebook post of my
eagle or my owls undoes my
careful attitude adjustments.
What can I say? I will try to
be a better man in the future

Cadinal in the bush... Happy Sunday!
"If your eye is generous, your whole being is full of light!" Jesus
It is hard to resist attempting a shot of a Northern Cardinal when one sits less than 6 feet away. And sits while you stand there looking. The fact that it is buried in dense leaves and twigs, and, if it were not so bright red, would basically be invisible to the naked eye, should not stop you...at least if you have manual (and selective) focus on your camera. My Sony has an interesting feature called Direct Manual Focus, which allows you to set one of the control rings on the lens barrel to manual focus, while keeping the camera in auto focus. Then, when you use the ring, the camera automatically switches to manual until you stop moving the ring. It also has a "focus lock" button that allows you to lock in the focus once achieved. When I use it, I get the focus... more »

I went again this morning, in search
of Snowy Owls, this time up Biddeford
Pool way, where 2 were reported yester-
day. There, those who were before me
claimed to have seen one an hour since,
hunkered down among the broken rock
of the tall ledge that splits the channel
beween East Point and Wood Island
Light, but though I scanned until my
hands hurt through my heavy gloves,
I could not spy anything I could convince
myself was an owl of any kind out there
among the rocks, though I tried. What
I did see was a dozen Rudy Turnstones
and twice that number of Purple Sand-
pipers feeding in the sea moss on the rocks
where they meet the surf, and Saco Bay
long, and Wood Island Light tall, under
the clear winter sun, and the cold blue
sea stretching away east under banks

There were a great number of Tricolored Herons along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge last week each time I visited. This one owned the feeding rights along a section of ditch next to the Cruickshank trail between the parking and the tower. He was there every time I was. Since the ditch is right next to the trail, and not very wide, he offered a great photo ops as he went about his feeding business. People on the trail moved him a few yards, but always up or down the ditch, and if you approached cautiously he would sit right across the ditch from you. Great Florida light too. What a is not to like?

write all this down and publish it

Always. Every time. So today I
took my tablet and keyboard in
hand, opened Wordpress and, after
several false starts, just after lunch
saw it flow out in front of me clearly
for the first time, and sat and banged
it out...and then spent a few hours
assembling screen shots for illustrations.
Done by 3PM and published soon
after. Shared on Facebook and G+
in my Point and Shoot groups. Such
a feeling of accomplishment. No
big thing really, but next time I

GAVIN HENSON, the flamboyant Wales centre who has made only two appearances this season for the Ospreys, will appear before a European Rugby Cup (ERC) disciplinary panel on Friday. Henson and his team-mate, Ian Evans, were cited yesterday after the ill- tempered Heineken Cup match against Leicester on Sunday, which must put at risk Henson's place in the Wales squad for the 2006 Six Nations Championship.
The game, won by Leicester with the last play of the afternoon, left Harry Ellis, the England scrum half, with a damaged knee and Alex Moreno, his front-row colleague, with a badly broken nose.

Personalised Care Pushes Health Providers' Shift to the Cloud
Investments in healthcare IT and evolving regulatory guidelines are making cost-efficient, secure cloud systems an ideal solution for the effective documentation, storage, management, and sharing of patient information, says Frost & Sullivan, an international business consulting firm.
In its new analysis, Opportunities in Healthcare Cloud Market in the US and Europe, Frost & Sullivan finds that the US market earned revenues of $903.1 million in 2013 and estimates earnings to hit $3,541.2 million in 2020. The European market, meanwhile, generated $390.5 million in 2013 and is expected to reach $1,275.7 million in 2020.
"Government initiatives to optimise healthcare information exchanges have underlined the importance of synchronised real-time data management and personalised healthcare delivery, lending impetus to the healthcare cloud market in the US and Europe," explained Frost & Sullivan Healthcare Research Analyst Shruthi Parakkal. "Operational efficiency, lower upfront costs, access to on-demand capacity, quick deployment, and easier management of IT staff are the major advantages strengthening the case for managed healthcare services."
However, persistent challenges pertaining to security, privacy and performance are slowing down the move to healthcare clouds, the market report notes. Specifically, the absence of standardisation in legacy systems leads to cumbersome and expensive data migration efforts, thus deterring many potential users.
Another issue is the lack of clarity regarding data preservation and portability in case a healthcare provider or cloud service vendor suspends its services. As such, cloud service providers should offer service level agreements guaranteeing reliability and data portability to attract consumers.
"Availability, scalability and reliability are the performance criteria used to benchmark a cloud solution," Parakkal pointed out. "Therefore, joining hands with industry experts to develop contracts between vendors and providers that clearly cover conditions on data access, retrieval, and termination rights will accelerate the move to cloud solutions in the US and European healthcare space."
Opportunities in Healthcare Cloud Market in the US and Europe is part of the Connected Health Growth Partnership Service programme of Frost & Sullivan. Other related studies include: Video Telemedicine Market in Europe, Global Assessment of Telecommunications Service Providers in Healthcare, Global Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Market for Healthcare, and US Personal Emergency Response Systems Markets.
For more than 50 years, Frost & Sullivan has been developing growth strategies for the global 1000, emerging businesses, the public sector and the investment community.

Interactive image segmentation based on graph cuts and automatic multilevel thresholding for brain images
Touria B.,Biomedical Engineering Laboratory GBM |
Amine C.M.,Biomedical Engineering Laboratory GBM
Journal of Medical Imaging and Health Informatics | Year: 2014
This paper describes an iterated automatic histogram multilevel thresholding combining with graph cuts algorithm for image segmentation. The contribution of this work resides in the good performances of segmentation obtained. Our objective is to increase the efficiency tumor segmentation shown in brain images in order to bring visual information for diagnosis help. Image thresholding is very useful tool to separate objects and backgrounds. Standard graph cuts consist to found an optimal solution to a wide class of energy functions. The proposed algorithm start with initial segmentation using multilevel thresholding, the segmented regions, pixels are considered as the nodes in the graph cuts. Experimentally our results are much better than segmentation obtained by graph cuts algorithm, this method can be employed to other types of images as well without the influence of λ well without the influence of λ.

"Trekking across Kalash valleys" Top 5 Page for this destination Kalash Valley Tip by imranthetrekker
Kalash Valley, Chitral: 12 reviews and 23 photos
From Chitral different trekking itineraries could be followed which're at some hours distance from the main town but here I'd let you know about a famous and one of the most exciting itineraries in Chitral which starts from one of the Kalash valleys and comes to an end in the last valley, furthermore, it's abundant in lush green pine forests, white waters, and there're some pints where from one can easily take the photographs of some of the famous peaks in Hindukush (Terichmir 7778 m).
Day 1: Excursion to Birir (3rd Kalash valley), 2 hrs drive from Chitral town, on a bumpy road, overnight stay at guest house,
Day2: Trek to Bamborate (2nd Kalash valley), over Gumbak Pass (3010 m), 6 to 8 hrs walk,
Day3: Trek to Achulgah valley, 5 to 7 hrs, over Donson Pass (2900 m), overnight camping,
Day3: Trek to Romboor Valley (3rd Kalash Valley), over Kundayak Pass ( 2080 m), 6 to 8 hrs, overnight sat at guest house,
Day 4: Drive back to Chitral.
The itinerary's cheap, neither you need porters nor a lot of stuff for cooking but a guide's highly recommended because the trails're dodgy inside the forests and it's also a restricted zone due to its close location to Nooristan ( Province of Afghanisatan).
Enjoy the marvels of Pakistan,
Address: The three isolated mountain valleys: Mumuret, Rukmu, and Biriu
Directions: Wagons for the Kalash valley run daily from the Chitral town center near Khyber Bank.

In the post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested wasteland, there is one beacon of safety in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains: The Stronghold.
For decades, the inhabitants have fortified and defended the Stronghold from zombie hordes, building their society and culture on military precision.
And chosen from the best of the best is Denver Team Alpha. DTA is the elite strike force used to rescue survivors and refugees that have made it to the hellish wasteland of Denver below. But because of the unbelievable risks, and high mortality rate, DTA has come to stand for something else: Dead Team Alpha.
Now DTA will be put to the test as something far worse than zombies comes at them out of the wasteland.

All of my reviews are on my blog audiobookreviewer dot com
"100 years after the outbreak"
Dead Team Alpha (DTA)a zombie novel, yes it is, but it isn't a cookie cutter zombie novel in the usual way. While it is not a typical zombie novel many aspects of this novel have been done elsewhere and done better. DTA may not be a top of the heap zombie book, it is still enjoyable and I look forward to the next one.
The first thing that I noticed about this book was the narration. Not because it was outstanding but rather that it seemed subpar. F.C. McAllister has a fine voice and reads well but lacks the performance ability of the top notch voice talents have. Many of the voices sound a lot alike, female voices don't sound female. McAllister uses basically three voices, regular white dude, gruff throaty tough guy, and female. All characters seemed to fit into one of the three and following who was who in dialogue. I will admit that I believe a large portion of the problems with the narration may simply be due to lack of experience. In my search, I can only find one other voice credit for McAllister and it was for a non-fiction book. I don't mean to be harsh on the narration, I do think that McAllister may be better suited for non-fiction. The whole issue is the theatrical performance, you don't need that in non-fiction and there's nothing saying that with some experience and work McAllister won't be better. Also, I would like to point out that the narration isn't so bad that it takes enough away from the book to make it less desirable a listen.
The story, on the other hand, is where the book shines. There is a not a lot of new, groundbreaking content in DTA but it does mix two popular niche's: zombies and military fiction. DTA takes place 100 years after the zombie (or "Z") outbreak and the people of Denver are holed up in a stronghold but otherwise defending against zombies and others. The focus of the story is the elite teams including "Dead Team Alpha" who are the best of the best, the Seal Team Six of zombie outbreaks. Dead Team Alpha clashes with an outside group's elites called the "Code Monkeys".The part I liked about the blend is that I love both military and zombies and that DTA doesn't spend much time going on about the weapons and military jargon that can bog down the story. The pacing was great, with plenty of action and at the end, you felt satisfied with the ending but look forward to the next. The DTA world seems to have a wide birth leaving plenty of room to add books to the series. The ending is satisfying but leaves things open, also there are mentions of other hostile groups. D
DTA was enjoyable but had it's problems. First, a large portion of the first third of the book is filled with your already done a million times military bravado/proving grounds. Too much time was spent , in my opinion, on "proving grounds" stuff and not enough expanding on the history/world. Perhaps the biggest annoyance was the author's unimaginative but highly used term for zombies "Z's". I understand that zombies take a prominent role in the book and that this may be the common term of the people in the story. That being the case, I think the narrator's voice might use other terms and the characters would probably have multiple alternate terms for zombie. By the end of the book, it was to the point where I didn't want to hear "Z" again, but this may just be my OCD coming out.
Overall, DTA was a solid listen. There's not a lot new to me this book but I do like that it mashes military and zombies and instead of being in the midst of the outbreak or shortly after , like most zombie books, it is a 100 years in the future.The writing style is not fancy but gets the job done. As noted above the narration could have been better but was good enough to make for a good listening experience.

"Good start to the series"
This was an exciting fast paced, blood and guts kind of listen. Not for the faint of heart or those who are offended by foul language. The narration was good but I had trouble telling male from female by the voices.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
"Not your average zombie story."
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
If you have ever read a zombie-apocalypse survivor story than you'll find quite a bit you recognize here. One thing I think that the author got right is the amount of swearing. If you have survived a zombie outbreak, you probably don't mind dropping the f-bomb. Some themes are introduced that seem to be headed in interesting directions. We'll have to see in the next book.
The narration was good as well. I would try another book by the author or the narrator.
"Military post- apocalyptic"
I thought it was a typical post- apocalyptic book with military aspect. It does hold your interest with the characters and humor undertones. I enjoyed the author's Z Burbia series more. Do recommend to anyone who enjoys post- apocalyptic books. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Thank you!
"Not your usual zombie story"
I really loved the plot, the twists and turns and the characters (depth and variety). It was initially hard to get past the "gravely" narration voice (made my throat hurt just listening) but eventually I was able to get used to it and settle into the story.
The narrator did however keep the character voices separate, had good audio quality and sounded like he knew the story he was telling. (Which is more than I could say for some of the big ticket narrations I've heard lately.)
All in all loved the story. Would be interested in reading the next book in the series.
I'm conflicted with this book and it comes down to 2 different reasons. One being the narrator and the fact that most of his voices sounded the same and the second reason being the characters. There was simply too many and the fact that the narrator wasn't that good, made it all the more harder to follow who was talking at any given time. I honestly couldn't tell you how many characters in total there were nor even can I remember most of their names, I just remember being confused as to how one character could be in one place one second and another pace a second later, it hit me then that it was 2 different characters but the narrator made them sound the same.So confusing!!
I also felt like we are thrown into their world with no explanation as to how it happened or why. I thought that being book 1, we would have some world building but nope, we are thrown into the story straight away and I felt lost.
I do think that it had a few things going for it though. I liked the addition of the blind fanatics! They were crazy!!! It was also action packed and kept you on the edge of your seat and I definitely wanted to see what would happen to the DTA and the Stronghold. I just wished I read it instead of listened to it!!
F.C. McAllister didn't do a great job with this. He has the makings of a good narrator, but I think he needs more practice. Nearly every tone he used was the same, apart from a gravelly one he did, but he seemed to use that for multiple characters, including for some reason, a woman!! At least I think she was a woman!! His female voices were awful and totally felt forced and unnatural. I felt like he didn't really try to differentiate the characters and just read the story. He didn't really make me interested in the plot nor world!
*I received a free copy of this but voluntarily reviewed it. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.*
"Still Amazing!!!!"
Jake Bible is my favorite author! He is smart, witty and so funny. But... Keeps you so interested in All of the characters!!
Oh Blah Dee my Brotha!!!
"Z level up!"
I find it hard to comprehend a better Z story than Zburbia, but Jake steps up the pace significantly in this book. The pace is quick, the action is dialed up form the previous books ( I don't know how he did it, but he did) and I was on the edge of my seat from the start.
I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys a great Zombie story and appreciates fast pace action.
If you don read this there will be a signifiant lack in your Z-education!

Euro Swaptions Near One-Year Low Face Political Risks: Chartby
Options on euro swap rates are rising as the cheapest level in a year lure investors to guard against developing political risks in Europe. The normalized implied volatility for options expiring in three months on ten-year euro interest-rate swaps, known as 3m10y swaptions, hit a one-year low of 55 basis points on April 15. Besides the looming Brexit risks, Spain will be bracing for another election if lawmakers fail to agree to form a government by May 2, while Italian municipal elections in June will test Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's popularity.
