I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. This in no way effected my opinion of this book.
In The Moon and the Tide, things have gone from bad to worse for Marina and Ethan. Their relationship is tested by both new and old obstacles and they spend a lot of time either fighting for their love or fighting with each other.
When they did argue, I never quite knew whose side to be on. Ethan came off as over protective and bossy, but he was just trying to keep the girl he loved safe. Marina has a choice between spending a normal life on land with him or spending and eternal life in the sea with other mermaids and he is afraid that the temptation of the sea is to strong for Marina to resist forever.
Marina on the other hand is positive that she wants to remain on land with Ethan and everyone else she loves. At least she says she is positive that this is what she wants. Honestly her behavior in this book makes it easy to see why Ethan is so afraid. Marina falls deeply in love with surfing and spends a little bit too much time doing in alone or with her mermaid friend Lorelei. Her strong desire to spend time surfing bigger and more dangerous waves leads to several dangerous situations so she came off as more reckless and wild than she was in the first book.
By the end, I decided that neither of them were right or wrong, they were just people and sometimes people disagree. No one has to be wrong. The relationship stuff is handled in a very mature (and by "mature" I do not mean sexual) manner that has me rooting for Ethan and Marina as a couple.
A good chunk of this book focuses on relationship stuff, but it also progressed the broader plot of the entire series. I got some great scenes where Marina let loose and gave into her love of the sea. Like I said, she was wilder in this book than the first, but I never said that was a bad thing. Mermaids are portrayed as being wild, free and beautiful creatures, and it was fun to read about Marina's transformation.
Because she is not a full mermaid, Marina has some interesting powers that I'm not sure her full blooded counterparts have. She has some psychic abilities that add to the drama, but by far the coolest thing about her is that she is a muse. Before reading this, I knew muses inspired artist to be more artistic, but the power they posses in The Moon and the Tide is stronger and cooler.
Marina is more powerful than your average half mermaid so her ability to inspire people is stronger and more dangerous. She could help a hero save the world just as easily as she could help a villain burn the world to the ground. And that is freaking scary!
The Moon and the Tide was a fun and slightly different take on the mermaid Lore, and I am having a great time with the series. I am also looking forward to learning more about Marina's muse powers in the next book!
Because of some mild violence, I would recommend this book for ages 13 and up.

The Moon And The Tide was even better than the first book if that is possible. I really liked the first book but the author brought so much more to this one. We get to enjoy the returning characters along with some new interesting ones.
While on vacation with her dad, another one of Marina's previous visions happens. A terrible accident that will cause her to revel herself as a mermaid. This in turn sets off a series of events that will change everything that Marina has ever known. Her relationship with Ethan has some bumps in the road. This causes her to want to be in the water any chance she can get. Marina and Lorelei find themselves in some dangerous situations.
Some major secrets are revealed and there is a lot more action, adventure and emotions. Marina finds out that she has some powers of persuasion that always doesn't turn out like she hopes. I really liked how the characters really developed more into their own. Cruz just cracks me up with all his designer attitude. Megan has become much more sure of herself which plays out in her music. Shayla, I was surprised by how much she has changed. She went from bullying Marina to becoming such a good friend. I can't leave out Evie, she is like that aunt that I would love to have along with her funny bodyguard Boris.
There are so many ups and downs with Marina's emotions and relationships. There is a lot going on in this sequel but I don't want to really give away any spoilers. This is a must read though. I can't wait to read the next one and see what exciting adventures are in store for Marina, her family and friends. This e-book was provided to me by the author for review. This did not affect my review in any way.

The Moon and the Tide
Marina's Tales Book Two
By Derrolyn Anderson
The mermaids are scared someone is hunting them and one of their sisters has gone missing. Meanwhile on land Marina is coming to learn more and more of the people she is surrounded by and secrets that have been kept from her, her entire life come to light. Soon though a terrible accident causes her own secret to be revealed and she is caught in a dangerous world that will take every ounce of her strength to survive.
If it is possible this book was better than the first, we learn more about Aunt Evie and it isn't quite what you would expect. Also Marina soon finds out love is a lot harder than it seems in fairytales and we go through a growth process as she and Ethan learn to cope with the progression of their relationship and Marina uncovers more of her own past. This is a great young adult book and Derrolyn Anderson has once again done a remarkable job intertwining several stories into one beautiful and thrilling novel. This book is a brilliant blend of suspense, romance, and fantasy. As this story progresses the more it draws you in leaving you eager to find out what happens next.

on April 19, 2012 :
This was the second book in the series and must be read it order. The plot and characters continue to be well done. I particularly enjoy the little high school gang of friends.
The book begins where the first one left off. The first third of the book was the set up section for what was to come. Marina sees her friends' talents finally recognized including a nice surprise in the form of Shayla who as become more of a friend after the events of the first book. Evie and Ethan meet like two titans and walk away suspicious of each other. Marina still has that overwhelming call from the sea and is trying to learn how to reconcile the two halves of herself. There is the new mysterious quality to Evie and foreshadowing of events going on beneath the surface.
It was the part about Marina's inner angst and struggles in the first part of the book that just did not set well with me as a reader. I was not fond of her thought processing or her treatment of Ethan. She again is into sneaking and lying- putting herself into danger and manages to hurt others in the process. I was also not impressed with the way the father checked out of her life knowing what he knows. I love Dutch and Abby, but they too seemed content to be oblivious just trusting the kids to do right and stay out of trouble.
Fortunately, there was the latter two-thirds of the book. Marina seems to really come into her own and be more of a girl that I could like when she must step up with heroic courage to face physical danger on all sides, what she thinks of as betrayal, a choice of love interest, and then must make decisions that affect her family and friends. Mer-girl Power!
Yeah, about the last portions of the book- x-sigh-ting!!! I couldn't stop reading. Marina's made of stern stuff and I really love how Ethan steps up and supports her. He's a real treasure in that he will sacrifice his future plans if he has to just to be with Marina and he is capable of being supportive even when he understands or disagrees. He seems to be the only one capable of calling it like he sees it with her too which she really needs.
Everything about Evie becomes clear though now Marina's situation just becomes more complicated. Then the threat of danger is still out there.
Looking forward to the next segment!

on April 09, 2012 :
When we meet Marina again in The Moon and The Tide, she's all but dismissed the ultimatum issued to her in the previous book by the mermaid council: she has 50 moons to decide whether to join her sisters in the sea or she will have no choice but to remain human. Marina thinks it's a no-brainer: she's spent her whole life as a human and she has a lot of people that she loves. Still, the sea calls to her, much to the dismay of her boyfriend Ethan. The more it calls to her, the more she seems to reveal things she'd rather not.
And it's only a matter of time until the wrong people notice.
Derrolyn Anderson's mermaid interpretation engrossed me in the previous book, and that continued in this installment. In particular, I was fascinated by the things we learning about those who are half-mermaid– or, as Anderson calls them "hybrids."
There's undoubtedly a lot of mystery and danger in The Moon and The Tide, and when Derrolyn ups the stakes for Marina, it truly yanked me into the story.
But I wasn't constantly in the story. The book is so long with so many fairly repetitive scenes: Marina paints, she surfs, she fights with Ethan, she encourages someone. A little less would have improved the pacing significantly.
And then there's Ethan. Good god, someone get Marina away from that boy. I was with aunt Evie 110% when she tried. Marina and her story are so much more interesting when he's not around to pick a fight and get all jealous and alpha-male on her. The plot MOVES when he's not there, plus I respect Marina more.
Rating: 3/5. Liked it a bit less than the first novel, but I still liked The Moon and The Tide enough to read the next book in Derrolyn Anderson's mermaid series.

After having thoroughly enjoyed Derrolyn Anderson's first installment in her Marina's Tales series; I was anxious to read The Moon and the Tide. Book 2 continues right where the first one left off but I wasn't as enthralled with the story this time around. The first and the final chapters were amazing while as the bulk of the middle felt more like filler and wasn't overly relevant to the progression of the plot line. The endless fashion talk and Marina's obsession with surfing quickly got on my nerves. The strong ending is what saved this book for me but even it didn't entirely make up for the 150+ pages of meaningless descriptions. Also, the mermaid lore that I adored so much in Between the Land and the Sea was next to non-existent this time around.
I enjoyed the turn that Marina and Ethan's relationship takes in The Moon and the Tide. These two are quite obviously infatuated with each other. Their love and understanding of one another other grows quite a bit in this second installment. They face new challenges and even though it was touch and go for a while; in the end their relationship is stronger as a result. I liked the underlying messages that Anderson manages to get across to readers. The first one being to not give up even when times are tough. Loving someone isn't always easy but standing by them and fighting for them pays off huge in the long run. I also approve of the way that Derrolyn addresses sex among teens. She doesn't ignore the fact that they have urges like everyone else but Anderson demonstrates how to be responsible by bringing up touchy subjects like birth control. Marina and Ethan don't end up going all the way and for that I was glad. Perhaps in the next installment seeing how they'll both soon be 18.
I didn't like Ethan as much as I did in Between the Land and the Sea. The traits that I originally admired in him seemed a bit over the top this time around. His possessiveness towards his girlfriend bordered on obsession. This couple eventually makes their way back to equal ground but for a while I was rooting for Marina to ditch Ethan. His protectiveness morphed from charming to controlling which turns me off to the extreme. As I mentioned earlier, I found the greater part of this novel to be fluff. I understand that Anderson was trying to develop her characters and improve her world building skills but I thought she got carried away. At times, it seemed like this story was primarily about fashion and surfing. To the best of my knowledge, this is a mermaid book and I expect the contents to reflect that fact. If I was interested in learning more about design or water sports there are plenty of non-fiction books out there to that effect.
This book takes a turn for the better towards the end. The pace picks up, mysteries are unveiled and amends are made. I trudged through most of this novel but towards the ending I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Why wasn't the whole thing like this!? Although The Moon and the Tide was a step down from its predecessor there's still plenty of goodies that'll keep readers entertained. Overall, The Moon and the Tide is a great story full of love, mermaids and intrigue along with a few valuable life lessons for teens. A great value for the price.

on Sep. 16, 2011 :
Marina's slowly coming to terms with her family's secrets when another huge secret is revealed. Feeling betrayed from multiple angles, Marina seeks comfort in surfing with Lorelei. This brings its own dangers, and when an enemy finds them, Marina must try to save herself and her mermaid family.
Following the first book, I was slightly disappointed in this one. The storyline was great, with lots of action, but it was definitely aimed at a teenaged girl audience, and not just YA lovers in general. I found the teenage drama to be overwhelming and annoying.
Marina and Ethan swung from overly sweet continuous makeout sessions to full out ignoring each other break-ups. The teenaged drama of "I love you" turning to "I hate you" over the slightest small misunderstanding was annoying and frustrating. Very realistic, but not very satisfying to read.
While the drama was never ending, I did find that portayal of a teen caught between being an adult and a child was very realistic and well done. Marina had some profound insights into the people around her, which helped to offset the selfishness and self-centeredness her actions often portrayed.
Overall, this was a good follow-up book, however it was a little heavy on teenaged drama for me. I've never been one for drama, and I have a hard time enjoying it while reading. The story itself is good, still very original and fresh. I'd recommend this book to readers who enjoy angst in their stories.

4.5 stars.I'm glad that the second installment of Marina's tale got a very beautiful continuation I love how the characters have grown and step up a notch unlike in book one they made more lasting impression, assortment of personalities that made more impact to the story. It's now time to choose once more and I must admit it's really quite hard but I'm very proud of Marina the road set for her is rather bumpy and tough but with it she learned a lot. I like how She and Ethan found love and comfort to each other way to go guys!

Marina's tales #2, The Moon and the Tide, picks up the story shortly after we left it in the first book and despite a slightly rocky start I was soon fully engrossed in it yet again.
I had a few misgivings in the first book but they were mostly explained and eradicated in the second. It carries on the story of Marina coming to grips with her ancestry and who she is and what she can expect and it holds a substantial larger amount of action than the first book. Like the first book though there is still a heavy amount of surfing and though I wouldn't know one end of surfboard from the other Anderson manages to describe the sport so well that I can easily imagine the water, the colours and the pure energy.
My one pet peeve is Ethan whom I just don't like. I can't put a finger on it precisely, he's just too protective, too soppy, too sweet and too much (but maybe I'm just a bitter old crone ;)
I really enjoyed the book and will recommend it to all that enjoy YA literature and would like a great series with a great handle on mermaids, the sea and a strong capable heroine. I truly can't wait to get my hands on the third book in the series, The Fate of the Muse, which is expected in the summer of 2011.

This is the second book of the Marina's Tales series. It is a continuation of the previous story and picks up just a short time after the previous book left off. In this book Marina learns even more about not only herself but also those around her. I don't want to say more because I want you to go buy the book and read it for yourself. I enjoyed this book very much. I am glad I read it directly after finishing Between the Land and the Sea (review here).
There were some references that I thought were a bit too dated and did not quite work for this book. Yet they were easy to get past and continue reading. This book included more adventure, suspense, and drama for Marina, her family and friends. Overall, it was a wonderful read.

RECEIVED FROM: The Author For Review
Marina Vanderpool is the half human, half mermaid child of a mermaid and a Nobel prize winning scientist. She lives a life that most people only dream of and has four years to decide whether she wants to be a child of the land or the sea. Though she's made her choice to stay with her human family before, she can't deny that the sea and her mermaid sisters call to her. Marina becomes like a rope in an emotional tug of war between her sea siren sisters and her human friends and family. Neither wants to share her or give her up and she isn't willing to turn her back on either. When her secret is exposed during a terrible accident everyone she cares about is threatened. Will she be able to protect them all? Can she even protect herself?
Anderson makes a brilliant return in the second story in her Marina's Tales series. Her characters start to really take shape in this story. Marina has an addictive personality, she's slightly self centered and on the dishonest side. Evan is clingy and though protective definite leaning toward controlling in his need to protect her and keep her. Aunt Evie is manipulative. Cruz, is WAY self centered, it's almost like he thinks the world revolves around him. Meghan get's a bossy side. Now if you've read my review from yesterday you'll actually understand how this is an EXCELLENT development in Derrolyn Anderson's work. In the first novel her characters were just too perfect to feel real. In this tale she provides them with flaws, makes them human for the reader allowing the reader to become a little more attached to each character through their flaws.
In this tale she also begins to reveal a little more of what the mermaids' abilities really are. The revelation of their abilities really puts a nice explanation on why every character's life in this novel seems so perfect. It's not just chance, it's magic. Of course, now I need to half mermaid to be my friend so I can lead that kind of life. In The Moon and The Tide Anderson takes the flaws from her first novel and puts a couple of explanations on them to make them seem more realistic because of the mermaid magic woven into the story. She also explains that Marina's lavish lifestyle was created by design to make her immune to persuasion in the form of bribery. She was raised to not value wealth so that she could never be manipulated by wealth. I don't know if this spin and explanation were initially planned by the author when she plotted out the series or a clever way to clean up constructive reviews from her first work right after it was published, however what she's done in this novel really works.
She did have a couple of hard to believe scenes, like one where Marina and Lorelei take out some burly bad guys, which did lower my rating a tad. Overall though it was a fast paced and well told story that I really enjoyed reading.
She also has a wonderful way of addressing the issues of sex with teens, she doesn't deny that the idea appeals to them, that they're tempted and close to crossing that line. However she also doesn't cross that line with teen readers and condoning premarital teenage sex. I'm not sure if she plans to in future novels, but so far she's keeping the book right where it should be for teen readers without making the teens seem like they're oblivious to hormones.
Anderson is not a writer to be missed in the young adult fantasy genre. The Moon and Tide is a wonderful tale of mermaids, love and adventure, and for the price it would be a serious mistake to pass over this series.

Here's my shortened review: READ THIS! :)
Summary: Things are just settling down and Marina is truly enjoying life again. She is able to return the company of her friends and family and the ocean. So far, things are going great... or so she thinks. Marina begins having some disconcerting visions letting her know the future is at stake. One thing leads to another and Marina finds herself caught in a situation that would expose her secret. She discovers hidden secrets along the way and must overcome betrayal, jealousy, and any other distractions that might render her from saving the ones she loves. Will she be able to stay strong and fight or will Marina back down from it all?
My Thoughts: Geezus. This is really different from the first book. The first book was like a setup and introduction to Marina's environment while The Moon and The Tide really spices things up with unexpected twists and turns. There is a ton of action and mystery packed into this book and I could not put it down. I became so involved with the characters and plot and it had me at the edge of my seat.
The book started off with a fun, relaxing vibe and I was just expecting to read about Marina's relationship, the town, surfing, etc. I was in no way prepared for the chaos that ensued as the book progressed. So many things were going on and I felt bad for the characters and what they had to go through.
In the first book, we were introduced to the characters and learn a bit about them. The Moon and The Tide does a great job giving us more info about the characters and their relationships with one another. We get to learn more about Marina, Ethan, Lorlei, Evie, etc. and I love how we get a better taste of the characters. I especially liked Marina's character development in the story and how she such was a strong female protagonist. Her relationship with Ethan defiantly intensified, although I did think they were moving a bit too fast, but then I realized they been through a lot together. Also, I thought the "bad guys" were well written--they were truly evil and I loved to hate them.
The writing style is awesome as usual. Anderson does a great job with the descriptions (they're vivid and detailed, but not to the point where she's describing the threads on a pillow).
I remember reading the first book and wanting more answers... well, the second book delivers. The secrets that are uncovered are shocking and the mermaid lore in this book is creative and interesting to learn about.
Conclusion: Overall, the story played out very well and I the ending is perfect, it's not too abrupt and you'll be excited to read the sequel when it comes out. It is very intense and a rollercoaster ride. If you liked the first one, you'll definitely enjoy the second one (maybe even more). Sorry this review is a bit long--there is just so much that happens within this book. :)

Cindy Sherman: Retrospective
American artist Cindy Sherman creates staged and manipulated photographs that draw on popular culture and art history to explore female identity. Her art embodies two developments in the art world: the impact of postmodern theory on art practice; and the rise of photography and mass-media techniques as modes of artistic expression. This volume, published on the occasion of an international touring exhibition, presents over 200 images from the breadth of Sherman's work, from the "Untitled Film Stills" of the 1970s to series such as "Centerfolds", "Fashion", "Disasters", "Fairy Tales" and "History Portraits". Essayists Cruz, Jones and Smith offer insights into Sherman's art from several vantage points, positioning it within the trajectory of feminist art history and revealing her influence since the 1970s.

We're more than a third of the way into our Dozen Weeks of Doughnuts, the sugar-glazed immersion project that has us eating our way through area bakeries, two at a time, on a quest to find the best doughnut in the Washington area. So far we've sampled from national chains, local upstarts and longtime neighborhood favorites. In Week 5 we head to College Park, to check out a grocery store chain known for its colossal pastries, and to Silver Spring, to sample a venerable neighborhood bakery. These were the least expensive doughnuts we've sampled to date.
Woodmoor Pastry Shop
Perched in a small strip of shops at a busy intersection, this bakery has been serving Silver Spring for six decades. The glass cases and shelves behind the counter are packed with a colorful collection of well-executed cookies, cakes, breakfast pastries and breads. That and the friendly, knowledgeable staff make this a well-loved neighborhood institution.
Address: 10127 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. 301-593-7667, www.woodmoorpastryshop.biz.
Hours: Tuesdays through Fridays, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sundays, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The lineup: There were nine doughnuts on display, including vanilla-frosted with sprinkles, vanilla-frosted with coconut, powdered raspberry-filled, glazed, chocolate-frosted, powdered marshmallow-filled, chocolate-frosted marshmallow-filled, cinnamon twist and an apple fritter.
Price: 69 cents per doughnut ($7.49 for a dozen).
The look: The judges were split on these pastries, giving them low to medium-high marks. Icing and sprinkles were well applied in most instances, but the powdered sugar on several was a hot mess. (Average weight: 2.3 ounces.)
Price per ounce: 23-41 cents.
How do they taste? This was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the glazed doughnut was as fluffy as a roll of Charmin. On the down side, the vanilla-frosted with coconut possessed a cloying artificiality and a distracting oily finish. Stick to the simple stuff here and you'll probably be more than satisfied. (Average score: 4.2 out of 10.)
Best of the bunch: Cinnamon twist. This judge was fondly reminded of the sugary toast points his mother made him when he was home sick as a kid. Pillowy dough with a nice balance of sweetness and spice helped put it in our top five, tying with WTF's Berliner and glazed. (Average score: 5.3.)
Worst of the bunch: Chocolate-frosted marshmallow-filled. Warning: this will cause glucose overload. The gritty sugar icing passed off as fluff transported one judge into the doughnut hole of darkness. "The horror, the horror," she muttered as she discarded her sample. (Average score: 2.8.)
Shoppers Food & Pharmacy
The discount grocery store chain has locations spread across Maryland and Virginia. In College Park's gigantic store, the pastry cases alone take up more space than some of the bakeries we've visited thus far. In addition to its own doughnuts, the store offers a strong selection of boxed options, including those from Pennsylvania's Maple Donuts.
Address: 4720 Cherry Hill Rd., College Park, Md. 301-345-5996. www.shoppersfood.com.
Hours: Mondays through Sundays, 6 a.m. to midnight.
The lineup: There were more than 50 varieties of doughnuts in the cases when we stopped in, including raspberry-filled, powdered blueberry-filled, raised sugar, glazed, caramel with nuts, chocolate-glazed, vanilla-glazed with coconut, chocolate-frosted chocolate cake, Bavarian creme, glazed lemon-filled, vanilla-glazed cake and a cruller.
Price: 66 cents per doughnut ($4.98 for a dozen).
The look: These discount doughnuts are more than a handful, but bigger is not necessarily better. The soulless circlets were clearly mass-produced, with little love brought to bear on the process. (Average weight: 4.3 ounces.)
Price per ounce: 10-57 cents.
How do they taste? Generously portioned, packed with filling and liberally iced, these doughnuts did little to amaze our palates. The fruit for the blueberry filling seemingly came out of a test tube rather than from a bush, while the lemon curd was a Nickelodeon goo-style "crime against lemonhood," according to one judge. One bright spot: They finished clean without leaving an oily aftertaste. (Average score: 3.3 out of 10.)
Best of the bunch: Caramel with nuts. The crunchy topping recalls a Drumstick ice cream treat. Overall, this surprise standout was pleasantly sweet, with just a smidgen of salt. (Average score: 4.4.)
Worst of the bunch: Vanilla-glazed cake. The lacquerlike frosting and industrial-strength vanilla flavor were profoundly unappealing, helping it tie with Heidelberg's glazed cruller for our third-least-favorite doughnut overall. (Average score: 2.3.)
The running totals so far
Overall scores:
Woodward Takeout Food: 5.4
Zeke's DC Donutz: 5.1
Breads Unlimited: 5.0
Woodmoor Pastry Shop: 4.2

Indian Motorcycle is a proud founding sponsor of Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis. Each year, hand selected wounded and amputee veterans are chosen to experience the ride and heal with motorcycle therapy. Motorcycle therapy is getting the veterans outdoors, riding the open road with the wind in their face, getting much needed space that clears their head, and talking about their experiences while serving in the military so they can experience life and living again. Deserving Veterans leave from Los Angeles and spend 9 days riding America's most beautiful roads, getting to know each other and helping each other heal from the traumas experienced during war. The veterans also see how much their service means to America by stopping in small towns along the way to meet the grateful people of our nation who they helped protect. The ride culminates by spending the week at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.

The band was formed in 1977 among the growing punk scene in England. They initially went by the name of 'RKO' and then by the name of 'Radio' and 'The Europeans' before finalizing their current name The Psychedelic Furs. The original members of the band included Richard Butler (lead vocalist), Paul Wilson (drummer), Roger Morris (guitarist), Duncan Kilburn (saxophonist) and Tim Butler (bass guitarist). Later, Vince Ely replaced Wilson on drums and John Ashton was added as the sixth member of the band. Their first album, self-titled, was the production of Steve Lillywhite. It was released in 1980 and was greatly appreciated by their audience in the UK as well as other countries like Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand. It reached the eighteenth position in UK Albums Chart.
However, they achieved commercial success a year later when they released their second album, "Talk, Talk, Talk" which featured on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album was a hit in New Zealand where it debuted at No.8 on their charts. It was the first of many to have made it to the Top 10 in the country. Two of its songs, "Dumb Waiters" and "Pretty in Pink" also made waves in the UK. Cinematic version of the latter which was recorded for John Hughes' 1986 film by the same name was certified platinum. After Kilburn and Morris's departure from The Psychedelic Furs, their third album "Forever Now" (1982) was released. It was produced by Todd Rundgren. It became their first entry into the US Billboard Hot 100 and its song "Love My Way" entered the UK charts.
The song "Heaven" from their 1984 album "Mirror Moves" charting at No.29 in the UK, became their biggest hit not only in the country but internationally as well. It was strange that this song was never launched in the USA. Instead, their other song "Here Come Cowboys" was released which failed to create the same impact on the American audience. Another song "The Ghost In You" from the same album was greatly popular in the USA and Canada. The Psychedelic Furs's studio album "Midnight to Midnight" , a production of Keith Forsey, entered the US Top 40 and its song "Heartbreak Beat" became one of their biggest commercial successes to date.
During the 80s decade, the band had become a permanent fixture of rock music radio stations of the USA. 1988 onwards saw a steady flow of singles making to the top of US Modern Rock charts which include "All That Money Wants" in 1988, "House" in 1990 and "Until She Comes" in 1991. Their last commercial album to be released before the band split up was called "World Outside". Richard and Tim Butler formed their own band after the release of the album. However, The Psychedelic Furs got together in 2001 to pick up from where they left. Their hiatus officially ended when they released the album "Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live".
The band's international success cannot be doubted as their songs were featured on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The Psychedelic Furs have conducted many tours around the world, not just now but before 1991 also. Their present lineup on tours is the Butler brothers along with Rich Good, Amanda Kramer, Paul Garisto and Mars Williams. This year the group is going on a summer tour, visiting various cities in the USA, with their performances based on the whole of the "Talk, Talk, Talk" album.
The Psychedelic Furs enjoyed much commercial success and gained even greater respect from not only their fellow musicians and rock artists but from the rock bands of today as well. Their novel beats and rhythms, thought-provoking lyrics and tunes that were filled with punk angst bespoke of their name "psychedelic". Their seven albums, numerous compilations and a DVD of their live concert represent their work which spawns over two decades. Over the years they have garnered a huge fan following which includes people from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Therefore, their concerts have always been entertainment that is seldom missed by the rock music lovers and The Psychedelic Furs Tickets have been coveted commodities that the fans can't wait to get their hands on! So grab yours and have a rocking time.

Hey minna-san! It's been a while since I had updated ne?
Natsume: *throws stuff at me* Idiot you made them wait long to know that I'm the winner!
Me: Waaah! You won't let get away with this Natsume!
So, who's the lucky guy?
Natsume's POV
"I'm proud to announce the winner is…!"
It was as if a bomb has suddenly landed at the venue… since the crowd suddenly silenced… creating an eerie quiet as all of them were eager to hear who won… Tsk, Poor hopeless losers. It's obvious that with their costumes no one would win. Chuckling to myself thinking 'so much for the contest.' no one can compare to the costumes of the elite.
I already know who the winner is. It's obvious by our expensive clothes. One of the five melodies is gonna be the winner. Like Ruka, well, he didn't really want to cosplay so he just combed his bangs to his face covering his eyes. And wore clothes like that Katekyo hitman Reborn character, Belphegor or something. Ah, Andou? Nah, I still think he doesn't fit Sebastian Michaelis. How about Kokoro? Wait where is he? Oh well. I'll see him later anyway. Maybe, Jiro? He'd have a chance. Oh yeah, his flight was this morning. Well then it's me then.
"Oi, Natsume you've been quiet since the start of the party. Why don't you try and live a little, won't you?" Andou said. "Tch, shadow, shut your mouth, and just wait from the goddamn result." I said annoyed. I can see him smirking. "Stop it you two. If I see you two fighting again I'll make sure to use this knives and stab you both." Ruka said frowning. "That is if you could see us. I mean with your bangs I won't even count that you could see a fly in front of you." Andou said smirking. We chuckled leaving Ruka flustered and blushing. "Baka!" he said blushing while getting ready to stab us. We just chuckled more while starting to make an escape.
End of POV
Kokoro's POV
"I'm proud to announce the winner is…!"
Shit. I'm so nervous. I so want to win that kiss from Mikan! I know I'm being selfish, but I can't help being hopelessly in love with her. But that's the point, I'm hopelessly in love. See the emphasis on the hopeless? That's why I need to find ways to have moments with her. Whether she freaks out or not I will get that prize. I just have to pray to the Gods to answer my prayer.
I look to the elites and I can see them laughing and Ruka getting to ready to use those knives of his. I raised an eyebrow at them. Are they having fun or are they getting ready to kill each other. Well, that's not my problem. But I can't help feeling that I don't fit into this costume and it's telling me to change.
No matter. I know for one thing that overdoing things will be my downfall. So I should just suck it up and use this as an opportunity to catch Mikan's affection. I close my eyes and inhaled. Listening as Iinchou is finally going to say the name.
My eyes widened. He's the winner? What? I don't care if he has the most fitting costume here! I can totally see that he's smirking as Mikan is blushing, thinking if she should kiss him or not. That costume maybe expensive but it doesn't fit him! I should be the winner! Not him! I knew it! He acts as if he doesn't care about Mikan but the truth is he's interested in her! I won't let him get to her first. If it's war he wants then it's war he gets. After all all's fair in love and war. (Cue Koi wa sensou or Love is war by miku hatsune. Listen to vocaloid songs and it will brighten your day. ^v^)
End of POV
Tsubasa's POV
"I'm proud to announce the winner is…!"
Gosh, the tension is killing me. I mean come on; I'm surrounded by lifeless humans. And I don't mean zombies or corpses. But thinking about that makes me say "that would be cool." And at thought I stared at my two friends and one that was missing. I stared at Natsume and he was scowling for the hell of it. I mean he was seriously creating this deadly aura. I then looked at Ruka who I thought looked funny with all those bangs covering his face.
About the contest, I don't mind winning since I am Mikan's senpai after all. So I have to do everything to protect her from perverts like Natsume and Akira Tonouchi. I was excited to see what costume Mikan was wearing since I haven't seen her since the party started. I bet she will look incredibly cute in her outfit. I began thinking that she shall cosplay as Ciel in the episode where he wore an incredibly cute gown or dress something. But I can only imagine what she'll be wearing.
It was starting to get bored. So I decided to bother the two seated beside me. "Oi, Natsume you've been quiet since the start of the party. Why don't you try and live a little, won't you?" I said. "Tch, shadow, shut your mouth, and just wait from the goddamn result." he said annoyed. I smirked. "Stop it you two. If I see you two fighting again I'll make sure to use this knives and stab you both." Ruka said frowning. I suddenly remembered how weird he looked with those bangs in his face "That is if you could see us. I mean with your bangs I won't even count that you could see a fly in front of you." I said smirking. We chuckled leaving Ruka flustered and blushing. "Baka!" he said blushing while getting ready to stab us. We just chuckled more while starting to make an escape.
End of POV
Mikan's POV
Argghhh! How come this always happen to me! Out of all the girls in that damn academy, the one who dislikes boys most is the one who is transferred in an all boys school. And now I have wait for them to announce a random winner that I have to freaking kiss! I have to lose my first kiss to a random stranger? Why?
It just comes to show that my luck is the worst. Wait? What if the winner is that jerk Hyuuga? No, I won't let that happen. I peeked at the door and saw Hyuuga's costume. Gasp! THAT HYUUGA LOOKS THE BEST AT THE PARTY. Though, Ruka-pyon does look cute in that Belphegor costume. Tsubasa-senpai even fixed his hair for the party. Sebastian? Tsubasa-senpai? Hmm… somehow I can't put them together. Though I hope somebody cosplayed as Ritsuka or Lelouch. I wonder if I look alright with my outfit.
Iinchou finally held the microphone and said the words everybody's been waiting for. "I'm proud to announce the winner is…!" I held my breath and waited for the following answer. I can feel the silence and auras of everyone in the party. Determination, fear, arrogance and confidence. I wonder how all of them will react once the winner was announced.
"People… I think we have a winner… and his name is Reo Mouri! Congratulations! You've won with your costume of Matt from death note. As said by the judges. Yours is simple but you know how to stay in character. Also there is originality and class. Congratulations!" (AN: Read at the end of the chapter)
Reo? Who was Reo? I never met him before. Was he in my class? I knew it! I was going to lose my first kiss to a stranger. I began to panic. When finally Iinchou entered my room and escorted me to the party. I finally said "Ah, Iinchou." he smiled at me and said "Mikan-chan don't worry, you look absolutely stunning. I smiled but thought. 'That wasn't what I was going to ask him.'
I stepped onto the stage and I see the men all looking at me wide eyed. Gaaahhh! I knew it I look horrible! Why! To hide my embarrassment I looked at the winner and I saw tantalizing violet gazing at me. I blushed. My heart beats fast. And I start to forget that there are other people in the room. He smirked causing me to blush more. Still smirking he made his way towards me. Taking the cigarette out of his mouth in a cool way, He said to me "Well, I can finally say that I am lucky to have won if I am to be honored with this lady's presence." I looked away and kept mentally scolding myself.
'Be strong Mikan, remember that all his words are only fake. He's just a playboy. Don't involve yourself with him.' He kept smirking and he said "I'm even more honored that I have a chance to taste your sweet lips." My eyes widened.
He held my chin…
He made me look in his eyes…
He smiled…
He leaned in…
He kissed me…
Only 1 thought occurred to me… 'I'm screwed'
End of POV
This isn't going to end well… Everybody can feel it.
From Ruka's shock and surprise…
To Tsubasa's over protectiveness …
To Natsume's sudden jealousy…
To Mikan's confused feelings…
To Kokoro's fury…
And Reo's amusement.
Yes… All in all this is absolutely not gonna end well.
End of Chapter
Yay! I finished this chapter! Whaddya guys think? Are you all surprised I chose Reo as the winner? Well it was supposed to be Kokoro but then I felt like watching Gakuen Alice all over again!

We'll go to the Museum which is free on this Saturday. We'll be joining a car enthusiast group who can teach us about these fine cars on exhibit as we sip coffee. Then go for a local walk around Jamaica Pond or Arnold Arboretum. The optional walking part would be about 4 miles with the Boston Walking Meetup Group.
Closest T station is Forest Hills, 1.1 mile walk.
Cars and Coffee was created for car enthusiasts to meet up early on a Saturday morning. The Museum opens early at 8am on these designated Saturdays for your viewing. Grab a coffee, a snack and check out some of the Boston area's best cars.
This event is free, but if you become a member, it includes free admission to all the Museum's lawn events. http://larzanderson.org/events/lawn-events/carscoffee2014/
The Museum is housed in the opulent carriage house first built by wealthy Bostonians Larz and Isabel Anderson. It is now home to the Anderson Motorcar Collection as well as revolving exhibits featuring rare automobiles, automobilia, automotive artwork and vintage fashion. These exhibitions are a feast for the eyes and provide a great educational experience for both kids and adults.
Just ten minutes from downtown Boston and nestled inside the 64 beautiful acres of Larz Anderson Park, the Museum is home to "America's Oldest Car Collection". These automobiles form the Museum's permanent collection and are housed within the Carriage House, built in 1888 and designed by the city architect of Boston, Edmund M. Wheelwright, who was also responsible for several notable Boston structures like the Boston Public Library.
The Larz Anderson Auto Museum also offers enjoyable and informative tours, with varied and in-depth discussions on the automobile and its impact on society. Aside from the tour, we offer four different educational programs that range from kindergarten to high school and cover a variety of topics from early transportation to automotive design. Each tour offers hands on artifacts and real life observational tools. Visit the Larz Anderson Auto Museum for a day of exploration and fun that will create lasting memories for you and your group that is guaranteed to stay with you long after you leave.

Still looking for teachers for this term - Fast answers!
We help you to connect to a school, arrange a place to stay and everything you need to feel safe on your journey and get a good start.
China's booming economy is demanding huge numbers of native English speakers for its population of 1.4 Billion people and they don't require professional teachers right now. Most prices is far lower than what we are used to so your teaching salary last longer and you have a chance to save much more money compared to the states.
Teach English in China, Travel and earn money
Join the Teaching Adventure!
You may be guessing or amazed at how fast this type of job is becoming popular amongst foreigners, well you are in luck. China has long been one of the few countries that act as a destination for teaching English abroad. You have probably heard in recent years that people have been traveling to China to teach English. In many parts of the world, English teachers are in high demand but most particularly in China. It is more popular in China because their middle class is rapidly growing which means most people have disposable income. In this case, most of the citizens are looking to improve their lives as well as their children's live hence the need to learn English which will open many doors for them especially in the Western world. Asides from the fact that they want to improve their lives, some affluent Chinese citizens learn English for luxury so that when they travel outside of their country, they can actually use their English skills. The thing is that there are many places where you can teach English in China apart from the popular ones you hear that may include typical schools, international schools, after school programs, language schools and also teaching of business professionals working in Chinese companies. One thing is certain and that is the fact that as a Native English Speaker, you are definitely and highly sought after.
The thing is that they actually have local Chinese teachers who speak the English language fluently but you will find that most schools are specifically looking for native English speakers. The reason why teaching English in China is so popular and why they require native speakers to do it is that with native speakers, they get things like pronunciation correctly. Even proficient Chinese English teachers can trouble with the pronunciations. Native speakers know how to teach slangs and can even teach the students other ways of speaking English fluently. In the past, it was quite difficult for tourists to come to China but recently, it has opened its doors to more tourists. A very good benefit of teaching in China is that you get the opportunity to travel to the country and enjoy the country. As a foreigner, once you live in China, you will have the chance to see and experience the culture yourself. It will no longer be the view you had of it in the news but a totally different view once you start to experience the traditional sense of the locals around you.
You may be wanting to know how much you can earn as an English teacher in China, well here is a brief explanation to take home. One thing you have to understand is the fact that even with the competition, China still needs more English teachers. The good news is that the competition doesn't really affect the salary, schools in China offer healthy salaries to their teachers. It doesn't just end there, asides from the salaries, they provide other benefits such as furnished apartments, insurance and paid holidays, sometimes even free airfare. You may not earn as much as you do in your country but considering the fact that China has a low cost of living, this means that you can afford living here and still have savings. As a school teacher especially in public schools, it means you are working for the government so it will require about 16 to 25 hours per week earning about 900 to 1600 dollars. Sometimes, private institutions offer more options and flexible work hours but be sure that you will be expected to work about 25 to 35 hours weekly with salary of about $1200 to $2000. The most important thing you have to know about their salaries is that because foreign English teachers especially those Native English teacher are in high demand, you will expect to earn a very decent amount of money that you can use to take care of yourself and still have a lot to save.
Basically, you need to understand that as a foreigner and native English speaker, you have a better chance of getting a job as an English teacher, a chance to travel around Asia, enjoy the country while making money and still gain other benefits from the schools that employ you.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease condition that involves altered expression of a broad spectrum of proinflammatory cytokines which are associated with activation of T cells and proliferation of keratinocytes. Currently approved biological products for psoriasis treatment fall into two main classes: cytokine modulators and biologics targeting T cells. In psoriatic patients, elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines are observed. Elevated proinflammatory cytokines can suppress some cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and the treatment of psoriasis with biological products can reduce proinflammatory cytokine levels. Therefore, the exposure of CYP substrate drugs is anticipated to be affected by the psoriasis disease resulting in a higher exposure than in healthy state (named disease-drug interaction) as well as by the biological treatments due to disease improvements resulting in a decrease in exposure (named disease-drug-drug interaction, disease-DDI). However, the quantitative impact on CYP substrate exposure due to disease or due to treatment with biological products remains to be evaluated. The objective of the current review is to provide an overview of the therapeutic targets and cytokine-related pharmacodynamic effects of biological products in psoriasis treatment with a particular focus on their implications for disease-DDI. The clinical study design considerations for psoriasis disease-DDI evaluation are also discussed.

Delinquent Payment Plans
Delinquent Payment Plans
We are here to help you. Don't wait. Contact us today.
By Ohio law, an owner-occupier of real property (a home or manufactured home) in Lucas County with delinquent real estate taxes may qualify for a delinquent installment payment plan. By complying with the terms of the payment plan contract, a taxpayer can save the cost of penalties and interest during the plan's duration and also avoid the risk of tax foreclosure.
A delinquent payment plan requires a 20% down payment, and subsequent installments are calculated to simultaneously pay both the ongoing current tax bills and the delinquency within 24 months.*
NOTE: Delinquent payment plans will not be issued during the ten-day period following a real estate tax due date.
The chart below illustrates the Treasurer's Delinquent Payment Plan Eligibility Guidelines.**
(Text Version of the Treasurer's Delinquent Payment Plan Eligibility Guidelines)
If you are eligible for a delinquent payment plan and require further information, please call:
(419) 213-4055.
If you have delinquent real estate taxes but are not eligible for a delinquent payment plan, please call (419) 213-4305 to discuss your options.
*A residual balance may remain due upon the completion of a payment plan, most often the result of a change in the tax bill that occurs after the initial calculation of monthly installments. Installments are recalculated after twelve (12) months.
**If you do not meet the Treasurer's Delinquent Payment Plan Eligibility Guidelines but would like the Treasurer's Office to review your case for possible plan approval, please complete and submit the
Treasurer's Exception To DIPP Policy Request
. Upon completion of the form, please submit via any of the following manners:
Via mail (Lucas County Treasurer · ATTN: Delinquent Dept. · One Government Center Suite 500 · Toledo, OH 43604-2253)
Via fax (419-213-4258)
In most cases the Treasurer's Office will review Exception Requests and reply with an approval or rejection within ten business days. Taxpayers deemed ineligible for a delinquent payment plan are strongly encouraged to make payments in order to lessen the risk of foreclosure and reduce the cost of penalties and interest.

|Setting response status code from flow
|Mon, 04 Aug 2003 15:36:30 GMT
Hi all, I would like to be able to response.setStatus from the flow. I have two scenarios I would like to use this: 1) In an authentication module where failure to authenticate should result in 401 in order to give the browser the chance to recover from being denied access to a certain resource. 2) In the davmap all responses that do not imply an http content body. Currently the only way to set the status code in cocoon is by specifying a status-code attribute on the serializer. This means that body-less responses can only be programmed using some dummy pipeline as is done in the current davmap sample. What do other think? Are these convincing use cases for adding response.setStatus to the FOM? Regards, Unico
