NY's Rocky Road to a Bike Share Sponsor -- or Why The Rollout Will Take Longer Than Planned
When New York Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson and New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan announced New York's bike share program last fall, the intention was clear -- they were setting up "a new system to be comprised of 10,000 bikes and 600 stations in parts of Manhattan and northwest Brooklyn -- at no cost to the taxpayers" as Sadik-Khan put it then.
The system, it was explained, needed to be large to make it work -- the more potential users could depend on finding bikes in a variety of locales, the more it would be an actual public transportation network -- not some urban folly.
But when the system was presented Monday under its brand new-name, Citibike, to be funded through a five-year, $41 million contract with Citibank and a $6.5 million Mastercard sponsorship, it was somewhat less extensive -- at least at first. "It will be a phased-in deployment," Sadik-Khan said at Monday's press conference. "I mean we can't just airdrop 10,000 bikes in. It will be between August and spring of 2013 that we'll have the deployment of the full system."
The bike share program, it turned out, would NOT hit the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, or much of Brooklyn beyond Bergen Street until a year from now.
Sadik-Khan wouldn't explain why, or when, this decision was made. No other DOT officials would speak to this issue, implying that this was always the plan. When I asked Alta president Alison Cohen about delays in implementing the program, Sadik-Khan's spokesman rushed over to prevent her from answering.
But speaking to elected leaders, officials and several sources familiar with negotiations over the bike share contract, a story has emerged of a far more rocky road to a sponsor than yesterday's happy news conference would suggest.
"I got a call sometime last week, that's when I first heard of a delay," said Council member Gail Brewer, who represents the Upper West Side. Brewer says she was told there would be 7,000 bikes rolled out at first, with the balance coming next spring. Was she disappointed? Brewer, a big bike share backer, was philosophical. "I'll be disappointed if I don't get my day care slots back," Brewer said, referring to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed budget. "You have to have priorities."
When the city announced that Alta Bicycle Share would be operating the bike share it made one in a series of splashy promises -- there would be no cost to New York taxpayers. "Alta will be getting a sponsor," Sadik-Khan said at the time. That would make New York the only large-scale system in the country to be entirely privately funded.
"We're getting an entirely new transportation network without spending any taxpayer money," Bloomberg said at Monday's press conference. "Who thought that could be done?"
Apparently, there were a lot of doubters. Puma was approached, and Adidas (New Balance has sponsored Boston's "Hubway.") So was American Express. "All the usual suspects," said one source familiar with the negotiations. "The list of companies who could spend this kind of money just isn't that long. And it was unprecedented to raise that kind of capital for an unproven system -- bike share on European scale, an order of magnitude larger than any system in existence in north America."
By February, officials were beginning to sweat. If New York didn't find a sponsor, the city could be on the hook to Alta -- but worse, many officials thought, the bike share program could be imperiled.
"It's a lot of money and each company has to decide whether the opportunities they'll have by sponsorship fit their clientele," said Bloomberg on Monday, maintaining he never worried.
But Alta's business plan was confusing, sources say, making it hard to reel in the big money. In late winter, the city involved its Economic Development Corporation in the planning, adding some business gravitas to the discussions. (The EDC is a quasi city agency that usually hands out loans to entities willing to locate or create jobs in New York.)
Ed Skyler, Bloomberg's former Deputy Mayor for Operations (and Sadik-Khan's old boss), is a top Citibank executive. Citibank was lured in.
(Even so, everyone, from the Mayor on down, credits Sadik-Khan. "I never worried," Bloomberg said, "because Janette went after it. And anyone who knows Janette knows if she sets her mind to it it's going to get done.")
Eventually, Citibank was sold. "We think this is a very innovative program that makes people's lives easier, that's what we do, that's what we do as a bank," Vikram Pandit, Citibank's CEO, told me Monday.
Was he worried about controversy surrounding the program? "This is a program supporting bikes, bikes are environmentally friendly, they're good exercise. There's always controversy -- but on balance we think this is a great program," Pandit said.
The Citibank contract was signed only two weeks ago -- far later than officials had hoped. Without the contract, there wasn't the upfront capital to get the bikes produced. And that, multiple sources confirm, was the major reason for the delay in getting the bikes to some neighborhoods.
Bike share boosters are, for the most part, expressing just the faintest disappointment at the delay in bringing bike share to the full footprint.
"The reality of implementing an entire transportation network from scratch for a city as large and complicated as New York will obviously require a careful approach," said Transportation Alternatives chief Paul Steely White. "The city is working with local communities to roll out bike share with as little disruption as possible. Sometimes that means revising timelines. The important thing is to keep moving forward and work toward meeting the huge demand for bike share in New York City."
Steely White, Brewer and others are willing to cut the city some slack -- willing to give credence to what the city says. "We said we would find a sponsor. And we did," mayoral spokesman Marc LaVorgna said. " We're doing something that's never been done before."
When the bright blue bikes were unveiled Monday at City Hall plaza, there were smiles and claps. And the idea of "Citibike" seemed to convey exactly what the city wanted -- these bikes are for transportation, for getting around the city. These are urban bikes. And they are intimately tied with the city's economic future.
"A perfect outcome," Sadik-Khan told me yesterday. I told her I was guessing she was exhaling right about now. A faint smile played across her lips.

The good news for agent Drew Rosenhaus is that he has been re-hired by Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey.
The bad news is that he no longer represents Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.
"We are pleased to announce today that we have re-signed Jeremy Shockey," Rosenhaus said in a statement sent to us by e-mail. "Regarding Anquan Boldin, let me say that I have great respect for him. I'm hopeful that we can work things out and he will return to the Rosenhaus Sports family in the near future. We are proud to continue to represent his brother D.J. Boldin."
Rosenhaus has been attempting to secure a new contract or a trade for Anquan Boldin ever since Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald was signed to a four-year, $40 million extension in 2008. With no trade and no new deal, Boldin has done the one thing that he still can control — he has severed ties with Rosenhaus.
Per NFLPA rules, the termination becomes effective five days after written notice of termination is given.
Rosenhaus Keeps Shockey, Loses Anquan Boldin
The good news for agent Drew Rosenhaus is that he has been re-hired by Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey.
Elaw6 says: May 26, 2009 2:25 PM
If we wanted to know about drew we'd just sign up for his twitter page.
sportfan1234 says: May 26, 2009 2:25 PM
What does this mean?
Does this mean he is leaning towards signing with Arizona and the team told him getting a new agent will help make that happen.
Does it mean the end of being "nice" and the Bolden/Cards marriage is going to get real rocky real soon?
Help us out Florio….there has to be some sort of 'rumor' going around. No scoop at all? Come on…I want to know what it means or at the very least what someone close to the situation thinks it means.
PhillyFan Since 85 says: May 26, 2009 2:28 PM
That is amazing. Nothing better then seeing Rosenhaus lose out on a player like Boldin. Clearly Boldin still wants out of Arizona and he has realized that if he didn't have Rosenhaus as an agent, might have gotten his wish. Now that the draft has past, a number of teams who were in the running before are probably not anymore.
Will be interesting to see what Boldin says about the situation.
Rossy P says: May 26, 2009 2:29 PM
Boldin is a turd!
nebakanezer says: May 26, 2009 2:37 PM
So, he's excited about signing a drunk, injury prone tight end who will be out of the League in 3 years after losing an All Pro, big money receiver who is gonna get a fat contract and still be playing years from now. Nice try on spinning this one.
marcduke says: May 26, 2009 2:39 PM
Let me guess, Drew probably doesn't think Boldin's an elite receiver anymore.
oxnard says: May 26, 2009 2:43 PM
now maybe q can get his mind right…and get that piece of crap out of dockett's head while we are at it
theKING says: May 26, 2009 2:56 PM
long time reader….breaking the poster cherry here:
So, he loses the all-pro Boldin but keeps the unknown brother. Isn't this the same as you brag that you're dating the fat chcik from Wilson Phillips while a better looking guy is bangin the hot one?
Rosehaus is what is wrong w/ this country.
Ron Burgandy says: May 26, 2009 2:58 PM
Another "smart" move by Boldin. Now he'll play the nice guy/player vs. being disruptive with Rosenhaus as his agent. If Rosendick can't get a deal, who else can? Rosendick is the devil that's for sure, but but he gets deals done. Boldin is tard. I hope he ends up on a sh*t team like Cincy or Cleveland to teach him a lesson on being such a tool..
titans_fan says: May 26, 2009 3:00 PM
Ten bucks says Boldin works out a new deal with Zona now…
fordman84 says: May 26, 2009 3:01 PM
It would be great now if Boldin were to sign a contract just a little richer than the one Drew was trying to get him. Just the fact that Drew isn't handling Anquan anymore would make me more willing to deal with him if I were an NFL owner.
semajnoswal says: May 26, 2009 3:04 PM
will this make it easier for the Bears to get Boldin? There's gotta be something more to this story Florio.
emoser says: May 26, 2009 3:06 PM
Thank god… the only knock I ever had against Boldin was the fact that he hired this dbag as his agent.
mborz says: May 26, 2009 3:06 PM
@sportfan1234, I agree completely with your post. I would like to see some reading between the lines on this one, it's an interesting story.
C'mon Florio. You do such a good job reading between the lines that you were able to see how the President of the United States snubbed James Harrison by not mentioning him in his speech. There's surely some interesting commentary you can glean from this story.
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot says: May 26, 2009 3:08 PM
I take this as a sign that Q is staying put, not the other way around. Warner and other teammates have been lobbying hard for his return, and apparently common sense has taken hold, with Q realizing that Arizona is the ideal situation for him. Something will happen one way or another within days.
footballfan09 says: May 26, 2009 3:10 PM
You know what the funny thing about this is. I will bet that he ONLY signed D.J. Boldin because of his brother. Serves him right!!
promichael says: May 26, 2009 3:13 PM
This site is full of Rosenhause haters. So this will be an unpopular
opinion. Rosenhause represents some of the more talented NFL
players. He makes more money for them and represents them no
matter what the problem or issue. So what is wrong with that? He's
allowing some elite players to maximize there earning potential. In
Boldin's case it would seem that the Arizona Cardinals don't have
enough cap space or can't restructure enough contracts to provide
$10M dollars. Yet they want to keep him because there are 2 years
left on his contract. Boldin agreed to the contract and so it goes. I
seriously doubt another agent will get Boldin with another NFL team
or provide him $9M or more per year from the Arizona Cardinals.
giantsr1 says: May 26, 2009 3:16 PM
Considering Shockey passed out and reportedly shit on himself at a place called "Rehab" because he was so drunk and high on pain killers this past weekend, I wouldnt be too excited about regaining him as a client. He is heading down a dark road and Rosenhaus would be wise to severe ties with him in order to repair his own public image.
Smush Rodrigez says: May 26, 2009 3:19 PM
Boldin knows he is not getting out and is using this to save face.
stevo says: May 26, 2009 3:26 PM
this philly fan is delighted to hear it. now maybe Drew does pushups on his lawn????
PackDaddy says: May 26, 2009 3:29 PM
hey as much as rosenhaus is scum, he was probably boldin's best chance to escape the desert prematurely
Ravenmaniac says: May 26, 2009 3:30 PM
Rosenhaus must be so proud to kepp Shockey……
Rumor has it the Boldin issue was due to a mishandling of a trade to Baltimore…….
realitypolice says: May 26, 2009 3:32 PM
For God's sake, if all you are going to is regurgitate someone tweets, could you at least take a stab at a little analysis? Talk about lazy journalism.
cards4life says: May 26, 2009 3:33 PM
I had heard some rumblings from a couple of other small fan sites that AZ strongly hinted to Q that if he had another agent they would be more willing to discuss things with him. Not sure if I really believe them, they said before that Warner signed with the 49ers the day he went and visited them. Hopefully the cards will sign him to a long term deal.
DirtyBirds06 says: May 26, 2009 3:34 PM
It amazes me that Drew continues to get clients with all the negative press flying his way.
Good move for Boldin as I'm sure his team would prefer to work with anyone other Rosenhaus. Or maybe not so good for the Cards because Boldin potentially could be ready to act a f*cking fool!
Sit ups in the drive anyone?
arzcardinals says: May 26, 2009 3:35 PM
Let me help some of you out…
Boldin is TIRED of all this contract talk via the media….that's not him…that's not what he's about. He does want a new deal, but does not want his agent yelling over the media. Why? He's tired of fans talking to him about his contract rather than talking about his play (and or other things). The fans have NOTHING to do with a players deal…nor if the Cardinals are going to give him a new deal. Rosey just wants to have his name connected to these players day in and day out…deal or no deal.
Q WILL GET A NEW DEAL – just not this year…he has 2 years left on his deal and the Cards will not budge.
Cards are working on Dansby and Wilson's deals now…their contracts expire at the end of the next season…they get priority.
Q has a dang good chance of having his name up in the stadium if he keeps going at the rate he has….he doesn't want to mess that up.
All fans who think the Cards are going to let him walk….is an absolute no. If a team gave a first and a third the deal would have been done. This next offseason the deal will get done to keep him in Cards red to end his career.
Good move in firing Rosen****.
As far as Shockey – What a joke – a player who is far more interested in parties, drinking and fame than he is in the game. No wonder the Giants traded him. The Saints have a player who is living on what HE WAS not who he is. He'll be out of the league in 4 years.
Boldin is football 24/7….and note: Boldin doesn't drink spirits at all…nor does Fitzgerald….there's a reason he doesn't have off the field problems.
Terrell Blowens says: May 26, 2009 3:47 PM
Good. Boldin must have realized that Rosenhaus has already ruined 2 receivers' careers. Philly was the best situation for T.O. but Rosenhaus influenced him and turned him into a bigger monster than he ever was. Chad has been hurt by Rosenhaus as well. After the T.O. in Philly incident, teams have learned how to ignore Rosenhaus. Players represented by that jerk haven't been getting what they want. Good thing that Boldin avoided the biggest mistake of his career
pfitz says: May 26, 2009 4:12 PM
sounds about right your only supposed to have one asshole..Boldin isnt close to the player he thinks he is and its no mistake the Giants and Eli went on a tear when that clown Shockey went down..neither one of them is worth the baggage that comes with them
islebfrank says: May 26, 2009 4:13 PM
Chad Ochocinco's career certainly has taken off with Rosenhaus pulling the (puppet's) strings. Chad's gone from being considered one of the top couple of receivers in the NFL with a tendency to showboat a little too much, to being a completely self absorbed, ego maniac. Unfortunately by the time Chad realizes it, he will have wasted several of the prime years he will never get back.
Plax4Prez says: May 26, 2009 4:40 PM
Lol, I think this should've happened before the draft. Now that the Giants, Eagles, and Ravens have addressed the WR position in the draft Boldin won't have as many if any suitors.
EaglesJagssomeday says: May 26, 2009 4:51 PM
maybe the eagles dont want to deal with him again?
BuckFutter says: May 26, 2009 4:56 PM
Maybe he just fired him so other teams will consider trading for him, and then after that is done, BAM! In comes Drew to negotiate the new contract.
Andre Smith thinks it's a great move.
BuckFutter says: May 26, 2009 5:16 PM
"pfitz says:
May 26th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
sounds about right your only supposed to have one asshole..Boldin isnt close to the player he thinks he is"
I don't know. I don't think he's one of the 5 best WRs in the game….and he does miss an awful lot of games….but he does have the highest yards per game average in the history of the NFL.

- How to Read a Study Record
A multicenter, prospective, non-inferiority, randomized and open clinical trial comparing levofloxacin with isoniazid in the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection in patients eligible for liver transplantation.
Patients over 18 years of age on the waiting list for liver transplantation.
Sample size: n=870 patients.
Levofloxacin treatment of latent tuberculosis infection, begun while on the waiting list for liver transplantation, is safer and not less effective than isoniazid treatment begun after transplantation when liver function is stable.
|Latent Tuberculosis Infection Infection in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
|Drug: Levofloxacin Drug: Isoniazid
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|"A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Clinical Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Levofloxacin Versus Isoniazid in the Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Liver Transplant Patients".
- Difference in incidence of tuberculosis disease [ Time Frame: 18 months of follow-up ]A patient will be considered as having tuberculosis when Mycobacterium tuberculosis is isolated by culture or M. Tuberculosis DNA is isolated from a representative clinical sample, organ fluid or tissue by polymerase chain reaction. Also cases of histopathologically confirmed tuberculosis (caseating granulomas with/without demonstration of acid-alcohol resistant bacillus [BAAR]) and clinically compatible presentation will be accepted. Tuberculosis will be classified as pulmonary (pulmonary parenchymal involvement), extrapulmonary (involvement of different organs to the lung) or disseminated (involvement of at least two non-contiguous organs). Cases where tuberculosis is diagnosed on the basis of clinical and/or radiology suspicion and for whom the corresponding physician has prescribed a specific treatment will not be accepted.
- Mortality [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Number of deaths of any cause
- Toxicity [ Time Frame: During all the 18 months of follow-up ]Occurrence of grade 3 or 4 toxicities according to the grading (severity) scale of the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria Version 4.0, NCI-CTC-AE v 4.0.
- Retransplantation [ Time Frame: 18 months ]A new liver transplantation during the follow-up
- Graft dysfunction [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Development of advanced graft fibrosis stages 3 and 4
- Transplant rejection [ Time Frame: 18 months ]The occurrence of acute rejection or chronic rejection as per conventional definitions during the follow-up.
- Safety [ Time Frame: 18 months ]
Drug tolerance will be evaluated by a clinical study interview and periodic analytical determinations which will include levels of transaminases (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase and gamma-GT, bilirubin, according to the study visit schedule.
All symptoms and laboratory results will be evaluated for severity according to the grading (severity) scale of the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria Version 3.0, NCI-CTC-AE v 3.0.

Originally posted on Purple and Gold Blog | Last updated 10/3/12
At some point in the eve of the Lakers media day, Mitch Kupchak made another move to improve an already stacked roster. This time, he added veteran wingman Chris Douglas-Roberts to the list of training camp hopefuls.
With Roberts, the Lakers now have 16 players for training camp which started Tuesday.
Roberts (or "CDR" or "Buckets") is a 3-year NBA veteran after being drafted by the New Jersey Nets as the 40th overall pick in 2008 out of Memphis. He spent 2 seasons with the Nets before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2010 for a 2012 2nd round pick. Last season, he was one of the NBA players who exported to the European leagues due to the lockout and played for Italy's Virtus Bologna.
The six-foot-seven, 210 pound forward/guard is regarded as an offensive-minded player who can create his own shot with his decent handles and athleticism. The strength of his game basically falls between mid-range jumpers to attacking the rim and has a nice finesse game with his floater. He can hit from distance when he's open but his career 28.6% average from behind the arc says pass it to him at your own risk.
Defensively, he isn't the worst defender but isn't an average one either. He does get lucky with a swipe or a block from time to time but I wouldn't exactly categorize him as anybody's stopper.
But defense isn't the reason why the Lakers are giving him a shot at making the team. The guy is a proven scorer and a slasher. He's already had a couple of 30-point games against the Nets and the Miami Heat (watch the video below). So in a sense, Roberts could be a third, second or even the first go-to guy off the bench behind Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks.
And don't forget, he's only 25 years-old! In this team, having youth and the ability to create your own shot is a rare commodity.
Not a bad pickup at all.
Here's Douglas-Roberts dropping 30 points against the Heat (thanks to Allen White):

Functional loss in early age-related maculopathy: the ischaemia postreceptoral hypothesis
Feigl, Beatrix, Brown, Brian, Lovie-Kitchin, Janette E., & Swann, Peter G. (2007) Functional loss in early age-related maculopathy: the ischaemia postreceptoral hypothesis. Eye, 21(-), pp. 689-696.
We review proposed models and psychophysical and electrophysiological tests performed in many studies for early age-related maculopathy (ARM). We suggest that ischaemia is the trigger for impaired retinal pigment epithelium function causing imbalance of secretion of vascular growth factors, reduced disc degradation capability and reduced metabolic activity and possible inflammatory response. This results in increased depostion of cell debris, such as drusen and thickens Bruch's membrane causing even more ischaemia of the overlying neurosensory retina. The photoreceptors are more resistant to ischaemia given their proximity to the choroid. Furthermore, being 'upstream' from the inner retinal layers, they act as an oxygen sink depriving retinal layers further from the choroid. Postreceptoral cell layers and especially parts of the inner nuclear layer that are located in the watershed zone between two sources of blood supply are preferentially vulnerable to ischaemia. Based on psychophysical and electrophysiological findings we propose that most of the function impairmetn in early ARM starts postreceptorally.

Haunted by memories of her past, Amethyst Lakes left her home to come to Edenton. She was ready to start a new life on her own after being stalked relentlessly. Hayden Hunter is too busy being sheriff to take interest in a woman. That is until his officer drags Amethyst into his life. For the first time he wants to protect and claim. There's instant attraction between the two, but Amethyst isn't ready for anyone since she found out her ex killed himself after she sent him away for good. Preston has always protected Amethyst, and when he finds out something of legend and nightmares is coming for her, he'll do everything he can to keep her safe. Amethyst is either the catalyst to bring nightmares fully into this realm or the one to end them. Can she find the power to stop the darkness, or will she wind up its prey? Pretty little nymph, suspicious but sexy earth fae, cocky mage, and a nightmare of old.

"Not as good as the first book but still good."
This book followed the same kind of line as the first, so i found the love story kind of repetitive. I do find the narrators voices quiet annoying. The voices she uses for the women sound like they are wining when actually they are having meaningful conversations. This book is based around a nymph and is there for more sexual, in my opinion, than the previous. Which is not a problem but i had to make sure i was cautious where i listened to the book. All this said i enjoyed the book look forward to listening to the next one.
Reading is a passion and an obsession.
"A Wonderful Continuation!"
I received a complimentary audiobook code from the author in return for an honest review.
This is the second book in the Others of Edenton series. I really enjoyed it!
This book is again narrated by Kelley Hazen Story Teller Productions. I really enjoyed her interpretation of the characters. Kelley Hazen's reading voice is lovely to listen to. I love her diction and she gave each character their own voice, which brought them to life. This helped me see them clearly in my mind's eye. I would definitely listen to more books narrated by this lady in the future.
Hayden Hunter is a very enigmatic character. I wasn't sure whether I liked him or not when I met him in the first book of the series, In Too Deep. He is extremely taciturn and mysterious, so I was looking forward to getting to know him a little better. He is a powerful Earth Fae, but doesn't seem to use his magic much. Being the Sheriff of the town of Edenton is not an easy job, but he makes it look like it is. He is well respected by the residents and, by the end of the book, I respected him too. When he meets Amethyst, attraction sparks fly.
Amethyst Lakes is a Water Nymph. I liked her, but on occasion found myself wanting to shout at her and tell her to pay better attention about things happening around her! She can be a little self-centered and a little self-pitying, but she has a good heart. Because she is a nymph, her power comes from sex and lust. She is not ready for a new relationship so soon after her ex killed himself, but after meeting the sexy Sheriff, he is a temptation she is determined to avoid. However, fate (or destiny) has other plans.
Having listened (as well as read) In Too Deep, I was eager to continue the series. I started to listen and was quickly hooked! I must admit that I was a little confused at first, because the story started by following a character called Sapphire, who was a very powerful Water Nymph. But, then I realised that it was a backstory for one of the characters and gave both Hayden and Amethyst a connection, even though remote. The story is told from several characters' point's of view, which gave it an interesting twist. We also get to know Preston, one of the council members, a little better. I must admit that I did feel sorry for him as the story unfolded. He is a really nice guy, who deserves to find happiness. I hope he does in the future. Carl, Amethyst's ex, is (or was) a warlock and a real piece of work. *SPOILER ALERT!!!* His "death" allows a Shadowfae to escape the prison Sapphire had imprisoned him in hundreds of years previously, and sets off a series of events that endanger the lives of several of the Edenton residents.
This story is just as fast paced as the first. There are several surprising twists that I didn't see coming and danger lurks in the corners. However, the only issue I had with this story was with the dialogue. I still felt that the dialogue was a little too "teen/angst ridden" for supposed adults and I found myself rolling my eyes on occasion. Yes, Amethyst is a young nymph, but I felt that some of her dialogue made her seem rather naive and a little immature for being in her early twenties. However, she does grow as a character and it was nice to watch her bloom. This story took me on a roller coaster ride of emotion, with lots of danger and action. I loved how the final showdown between Amethyst and the Shadowfae unfolded. It was extremely exciting and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat! The ending left me looking forward to continuing the series and will read or listen to the next book in the series, Falling Into Place as soon as possible.
Brandy L. Rivers has written an intriguing sequel in the series. I loved her fast paced writing style, and the flow was wonderful. Unfortunately, the melodramatic dialogue was the only thing that let this story down in my opinion. However, with that being said, I would definitely read more of her books in the future.
Due to explicit scenes of a sexual nature, I do not recommend this book to readers under the age of 18. However, I do recommend this book if you love hot erotic paranormal romances full of werewolves, vampires, fae, druids etc. - Lynn Worton
"Nice story in the series"
A good continuation of the series. With all of the characters we met in the first book, we now add one more - and she is an odd one. Full of magical situations and explosive action yet there is romance in the midst. Good world building and characters make for a good series.
"Another masterpiece"
Both amazing but listening to it, brings the story to life
Amethyst - I enjoyed seeing her get more comfortable with herself and her powers. LOVED seeing her come out of her shell and become the girl she was meant to be.
the narration by Kelly Hazen Storyteller Productions was on point. She managed to bring the story to life and as always, her different tones and voices enhanced the already fabulous plot. My only teeny, tiny issue was that Amethyst's voice was a little bit 'too high' for my taste, but that did NOT take away from the amazing that this audio book was – at all – or from Kelly's talented narration.
Everything was balanced out perfectly and kept me 100% invested and intrigued. This book was FAR from boring.
This series keeps getting better and better!! Shadows of the Past was yet another masterpiece by Brandy L Rivers! Really – I completely loved this book! Once again, the narration by Kelly Hazen Storyteller Productions was on point. She managed to bring the story to life and as always, her different tones and voices enhanced the already fabulous plot. My only teeny, tiny issue was that Amethyst's voice was a little bit 'too high' for my taste, but that did NOT take away from the amazing that this audio book was – at all – or from Kelly's talented narration.
If there is one thing I love about this series, it's the female lead character in each book. Ms. Rivers has managed to write strong women that, quite frankly, kick butt and take names. They don't take crap from anyone, not even their men. In Shadows of the Past, Amethyst was no different. She may not have been the tallest girl around, but she was not a pushover by any means. I enjoyed seeing her get more comfortable with herself and her powers. LOVED seeing her come out of her shell and become the girl she was meant to be.
Hayden and Amethyst did not get off to a wonderful start. They both had their fair share of hesitations where giving into each other was concerned, but it was clear as day that they wanted to do so from the very beginning. They couldn't help it, really. Their reasons for not giving in so quickly were totally understandable, though, especially knowing what they each had been through.
Hayden and Amethyst were a perfect match - just what they each needed and man, what a perfect timing! They both were adamant about not falling in love and all that, but really? They could not fight it any longer. Their chemistry was palpable and it truly sizzled. I loved listening to their and I could not help but have a smile on my face the whole time.
Along with the very steamy romance, Rivers mixed in drama really well. I honestly consider Shadows of the Past to be a true page turner. Everything was balanced out perfectly and kept me 100% invested and intrigued. This book was FAR from boring. I loved seeing the other characters throughout the plot and all their interactions. Others of Edenton is a highly addictive Paranormal Romance series that I highly recommend! Another FIVE STAR, MUST READ, steamy romance!
"Great Story, Horrible voices"
Yes, I love the stories.
Anyone. Kelley has a horrible reader's voice. Most annoying.
"The voice made me crindge right through the story"
After this performance I'm not sure.
It was OK nothing amazing to speak about kind of a let down after In too deep, I found the main Character really lacked confidence and really didn't improve even at the end, normally a character grows as they take their journey Amethyst did not. I found her lacking any strength and just really unbelievable. Haden's character also was disappointing as the hard assed sheriff wasn't even preforming his duties properly and turns into some dirty little prep boy. Some may enjoy this story I was not impressed, it sounded so promising at the beginning, but not long into it. Sadly disappointing.
Stronger lead character and the voice ARHHH it was so high pitched I really had to listen hard to understand what the character was saying and it was like nails being run across a blackboard.
I do try not to pull a novel apart but just give my honest opinion of what I think of it. Criticisms I give I wish to be taken as constructive and not hurtful.
I have enjoyed other novels from this author and performer and would still recommend them to others.
"Really bad narration for a decent story."
The story is ok, but I actually caught myself cringing every time the narrator did the voice of Amethyst. The narration is more suited to a young child's book, I found it very irritating.
"What a fantastic series"
I am loving the Others of Edenton series. When I read the story it seemed to pick up in the middle of lives in progress. Each of the couples have intriguing paranormal powers and the couples have great chemistry.
"Amazing Series!"
Adored reading this book and loved it even more on audio!
Shadows of the Past is book 2 of The Others of Edenton Series (but the 4th book in the series). This is Amethyst's and Hayden's story.
After leaving San Francisco and the mess of her old life behind, all Amethyst wants to do is move to Edenton to rebuild herself and heal. She wants to rest, spend time with friends, and have some alone time.
Enter Sheriff Hayden Hunter. He is a sexy earth fae who is captivated by the beautiful lavender haired nymph from the moment he sets eyes on her.
Something dark and evil is happening in Edenton. Will Amethyst be able to overcome her past and discover her true power to help?
I absolutely love this series! I count down the days for each new book! If you have not had the pleasure of reading them and you are a paranormal lover, do yourself a favor and discover the brilliance that is Brandy Rivers!
"Could not put the headphones away! LOVED"
I am completely taken with Brandy's books and the dynamic characters and intensely complex worlds and dynamics she has created. I am lucky enough to be able to listen to this series since it enhances everyday chores and life taking me to new places and intense loves. Brandy's books on audio never let me down and make putting the headphones away and paying attention to life an impossible task. Shadows Of The Past had this novice paranormal lover learning about new types of beings and the passionate ways they live and love.
Amethyst and Hayden's story is one of hurt, pain, passion, love and power. The Fae are a new being for me and I have fallen deeply for them . Amethyst is a nymph who refuses to use her powers for selfish wants. Stuck in a bad situation she runs to Edenton for a new start. When a bad situation becomes worse, the town sheriff, Hayden, is there to lend a helping hand. When the Shadow Fae come to town causing havoc and leaving corpses in it's wake everything becomes complicated. Even with trouble brewing Hayden and Amethyst cannot deny their pull towards each other and giving in is a given.
To make complicated matters even more complicated, Amethyst has always crushed on Preston but he has always denied his attraction to her citing her young age as a reason for pushing her away. Now, as years have passed Amethyst has matured and he starts to see his desire for her as something he cannot deny. Timing could not be worse and puts strains on their friendship. I desperately love Preston and hope that in future books we get to see him find peace and happiness.
Hayden and Amethyst have a intense dynamic and are so sexy together I cannot even begin to explain it all. Hayden's desire for her has him doing things that he never thought he would do and even though he feels guilty he cannot force himself to stop. I cannot say how sexy (and trust me in no way creepy) he is. As a nymph, Amethyst, has always been in touch with her sexuality but the connection she has with Hayden takes that to a whole new level.
Brandy writes strong heroines to put up against alpha males like no one else. Her women do not need saving, they need a partner to help them save themselves. I love this concept. This does not stop her men from having all the sexy protective strong alpha qualities we have all come to love.
The others of Edenton is a sexy and action packed series full of worlds I never knew could exist. Every book I read in this series I love more than the last and that is saying a lot. Highly recommended you don't want to miss these fast paced and sexy books.
**can be read as a standalone but I do recommend at least reading the novelette, Shadows Fall featuring Amethyst and the circumstances bringing her to Edenton. Also, on the whole I personally recommend reading the entire series!
"This book does not belong in the shadows"
Shadows of the Past was Amethyst's story, it carries on from book #1 and book #1.5. I really liked Amethyst she was a caring soul who doesn't like what her fae powers can do.
Hayden the suspicious Sheriff we met in previous books has a larger role in this book, I loved seeing more of him, I wish we got to see more of what his Earth Fae powers can do. Hopefully we can see that somewhere in future books.
We saw a lot more of Preston then I was expecting. You could say his life path changes in the book, I can't wait to see what instore for him in the future.
Now the Robert, Liz and Tremaine triangle is intriguing... Ms Rivers give me more!
I have loved this narrator during the other books of this series, but her voice for Amethyst grated on me a little too much in this book, I had to listen in short stints because I couldn't handle it for long periods.
The storyline flowed really well and like I said earlier I just adore all these characters. I can't wait to pick up the next book that Brandy gives us. Brandy L Rivers is an Author who I will automatically buy anything she writes, as she never disappoints.
"Voices wrong"

God's Neighbors (Ha-Mashgihim) by Meni Yaesh (Israel, 2012, 101 min.). In Meni Yaesh's provocative drama, Avi (Roy Assaf) and his testosterone-fueled gang of Orthodox extremists terrorize Tel Aviv's Bat Yam neighborhood, berating immodestly clothed women, harassing store owners who do not observe Shabbat, and bloodying Arabs who stray onto their turf. Avi begins to question his behavior when beautiful, independent Miri (Rotem Zisman-Cohen) moves into the neighborhood. Winner of major prizes at the Cannes and Jerusalem film festivals and two Israeli Academy Awards for acting. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
"As forceful as a kick in the jaw, God's Neighbors represents a sharp rebuke of bigotry and male aggression perpetrated under the banner of religious orthodoxy." –Variety

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, August is, just like the human body, at least 60 percent made of water: vacations to the beach, weekend trips to the lake or pool, big pitchers full of refreshing ice water. August is also National Water Quality Month, as you probably know, and it's when we all have our big get-togethers to celebrate World Water Week (August 26-31!) and Sea Serpent Day (August 7). It may be hot and dry where you are right now, but at least Ken Jennings can make it rain knowledge with his August Debunker column, deflating everything you think you know about H2O.
Water Myth #2: Bathroom Fixtures Drain the Opposite Way in the Southern Hemisphere.
Fans of TV's The Simpsons may recall the 1995 episode in which ten-year-old Bart creates an international incident by calling Australia to confirm the commonly held belief that the rotation of the Earth makes toilets flush clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere but counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. (Fleeing corporal punishment from the Australian parliament, Bart later seeks refuge in the American embassy there, where he finds that plumbers have installed devices in the toilets to make them "swirl the correct American way...")
This idea has been tested by scientists since 1908, and was popularized by a 1962 article in Nature magazine called "Bath-Tub Vortex." In that experiment, a 300-gallon tank of water was allowed to settle for 24 hours, so as to be absolutely still. When a central plug was removed the next day, tiny chips of wood revealed that the water did, indeed begin to rotate counterclockwise after about fifteen minutes. This is consistent with the "Coriolis effect" caused by the Earth's rotation, the same phenomenon that makes storms rotate opposite directions in the two hemispheres.
Unfortunately, bathroom sinks, tubs, and toilets are much smaller than hurricanes, and any possible Coriolis influence is mathematically insignificant compared to other forces that might create a drain vortex, like currents in the water or irregularities in the container shape. Water can drain either direction in either hemisphere, in other words, unless you go to great lengths to cancel out all other factors except the rotation of the Earth. Unless your toilet is mathematically perfect, it probably goes both ways.

LogLinear/LogLogPlot Point Sampling
I seem to have come across a slight bug/problem in the way Mathematica
draws LogLog and LogLinear plots. In particular, it samples the plotted
function as if it were a normal linearlinear plot and then scales the
results. This leads to oversampling on the right side of the plot, and
undersampling on the left.
For example:
Plot[UnitStep[x - 1], {x, 0, 10}];
returns the correct plot, but
LogLinearPlot[UnitStep[x - 1], {x, 0.01, 10}];
has a slight slope instead of a sharp discontinuity at x=1. We can worsen
the plot by changing the scale
LogLinearPlot[UnitStep[x - 1], {x, 0.01, 1000}];
looks even worse, starting out linearly increasing from .01 to 1.
This problem is obviously caused by the sampled points, as increasing the
PlotPoints option improves the plots.
But, short of that (some of my plots take a long time for each point to be
calculated), has anyone come up with a fix to the LogLinearPlot and
LogLogPlot functions to sample the range logarithmically. (Looking through
the Graphics`Graphics` library, it seems to involve the ScaledPlot
function, but I'm very new to Mathematica programming and quickly find
myself lost trying to understand it.)
Thank you.

So it's come to my attention recently that Microsoft is trying to boost sales of their new Windows 7 smart phone, by offering compatibility with XBox Live. Now that doesn't mean that you can start logging hours of Halo while you're riding the bus to work, but it does mean you can increase your gamer score through playing compatible games on your smart phone. I'm not sure of the extent to which they're dedicating games to this, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be difficult for developers to add an extra link and some achievements to the apps and there are some who have mentioned possibly building some games to be played on both the XBox AND the Windows Phone 7. I would also imagine that one would be able to sync with the Zune media player as well, in a similar fashion that one would sync their iPhone to iTunes.
But here's my question:
In a market where Google's Android, Apple's iPhone, and RIM's Blackberry already dominate, is a feature like this worth it for people to switch over to Windows Phone 7? Do you, as gamers, feel like this is an effective marketing move? What kind of benefits and/or deficiencies can you see coming from a move like this?

I've used full-size containers of both & I always go back to the CJ. Somehow I think the CJ is more conditioning, while the WDT may be, as kimmyc says, more moisturizing. It's really hard for me to distinguish between those 2 qualities. The CJ leaves my hair smoother and clumpier, which is why I think it's more conditioning.
My assessment of scent is completely out of whack with everyone else on nc.com so no comment there, except that I can pretty much get used to just about any scent over time.

Date of Defense 2003-06-04 Availability unrestricted AbstractWAVCIS (Wave-Current-Surge Information System for Coastal Louisiana) was designed to measure meteorological and hydrodynamic phenomena along the Louisiana coast. The information measured includes waves, currents, water depth, surge, turbidity, salinity and meteorological conditions. WAVCIS collects data and transfers it back to the data processing laboratory at LSU through wireless communication. The data undergo post-processing and archiving. Users can access the real-time or archived information through the World Wide Web.
This dissertation utilized the information provided by WAVCIS stations and NDBC buoys during Hurricane Lili and Tropical Storm to examine temporal and spatial variations of storm induced meteorological and oceanographic dynamics. The results show that waves during Hurricane Lili ranged from 1.8 meters in Terrebonne Bay, 6.2 meters offshore at a depth of 20 meters and 12 meters in Central Gulf of Mexico. The track of Hurricane Lili passed over CSI 3 where the peak in significant wave height reached 2.7 meters. The maximum current speeds near sea surface and near bottom generated by Hurricane Lili were 1.8 m/s and 1.1 m/s respectively. During the peak of the storm the water column was dominated by a northwest current. Currents were initially impacted by the storms when they encountered the continental shelf. Within approximately twice the radius of maximum wind (Rw) during Hurricane Lili, the current measured by an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) exhibited an almost perfect logarithmic profile extending to near the sea surface from the bottom. The range of the estimated shear velocity during the passage of Hurricane Lili was 5-12.5 cm/s. Storm wave energy dumping occurred along the muddy shelf in western Louisiana. Waves generated by Hurricane Lili and Tropical Storm Isidore showed considerable difference in both time and space domains. Wave spectra for Tropical Storm Isidore showed distinct peaks for both swell and wind-driven waves. The wave spectra for Hurricane Lili demonstrated complicated multiple peaks throughout the entire frequency domain. Swells with longer periods tended to survive longer in the space domain and shorter in the time domain. Hurricane Lili generated 1.4 meters of storm surge at CSI 3. The surges appeared lower than modeled estimates.

Your swarm will be fine, it shouldn't take them long to establish themselves. If you want to speed the process up a bit though, you could ad a frame of honey/pollen, brood or drawn comb.
Your brood frames look fine to me. If they have AFB, the cells will appear sunken and the capping will have holes in it. I can't see any evidence of that in your frames.
So I'm guessing from your photos, that the conclusion is your bee's are the bees that swarmed? I see queen cells on your brood frames and not an over abundance of bees on those frames, so I assume at least half the original bees flew the coup at some point? Where is the queen that you saw in your original post? Is it still in the original hive? I don't see a lot of honey left around those brood frames, but probably enough for the number of bees I see. It looks like you don't have much of a winter there either?
OK, that sounds good. I was just a little concerned about your original hive because there wasn't very many bees on the frames you posted photos of. But if the bees are in there and you still have a queen in there, you should be good to go with 2 hives now.
My son asked the same thing I was thinking. Is that drone brood? Cells look awfully tall to be brood.Might check for a laying worker.
Looks like mostly worker brood to me. The question I have: Is there larvae on those frames in the original hive or just capped brood?
Do you mean no capped brood or no brood at all? The instructor at the beek meeting the other night suggested that the queen will lay in a cell that is still only half built and let the bees keep on building around the egg. Perhaps it's only a few more days until you have capped brood.
Quick update on the swarm I got back in August, I either rolled the queen or she died off of other causes back in early November. After speaking with a guy from the local bee club about getting a queen from him he suggested trying a frame of brood from my other hive to see if they'd raise their own queen.!!!remember to give a frame with eggs ( they stay eggs only for 3 days) or very young larvae - one day old - and it will work.This worked a treat, when I checked it last week it has plenty of bees and visible brood in the bottom box. The first super is fully capped so I added a second one on Saturday.It's looking promising so far, hope it keeps going well. Also added a slotted bottom board to help control the SHB it is getting a lot in the chux wipes trap.The Chux have only been used in SE Qld for a few months as far as I know. I find that they do help with SHB but also trap a few poor bees.

Have you ever told yourself that you'd like to save more, spend less, invest more, or follow a budget but you just can't seem to get motivated?
Does it feel like you are waiting for this feeling called "motivation" to land on your shoulder and gently tap you with its magic wand? Have you been waiting a long time?
Unfortunately, "I just can't get motivated" turns out to be nothing more than a very popular five-word excuse.
Dr. Russ Harris (2011) tackles the motivation issue head on. First, he reminds us that it is simply not possible to have "no motivation" for a pursuit. It is more accurate to say that we have motivation for several different behaviors, and they all compete—so sometimes the behavior we should pursue does not win out, because we desire something else even more.
He suggests that we shift our focus from motivation to commitment, because there is always some kind of values-driven action we can take to change our behavior in a positive direction. We don't have to wait for inspiration or a magical feeling to arrive.
In a similar spirit, Dr. Jennifer Gregg (2007) writes that we should think about motivation as something that we just "happen to feel" sometimes before or during an activity. Rather than causing us to be able to do something, it just happens to occur at the same time we are participating in a desired action.
Dr. Harris sums it all up with an important rule: "Committed action comes first; feeling motivated [sometimes] comes later." I couldn't have said it better myself.
Do you ever find yourself waiting for some elusive feeling called "motivation" to descend upon you and make you act upon your financial goals? How well does that work? Is there a better way?

I had a client about five years ago who was a nurse at a local hospital. I was doing silk wraps on her for a long time with no problem, but suddenly the wraps started peeling off in sheets. I tried fiberglass, but the same thing happened. We went through this for about two months. I asked her if she was taking any medication or had changed her diet or was using a different hand lotion or suntan oil. She said she wasn't doing anything different. I asked her if she wasn't doing anything different. I asked her if she was pregnant and she said no. Two to three weeks later she came in and told me she was about two-and-a-half months pregnant.
My mother had a problem with her nails about a year ago. She went to her nail technician for her scheduled appointment and found out she had a fungal infection under all 10 of her nails. She had had her nails done just two weeks before that and there was nothing wrong. Her nail technician told her to see her doctor right away. The doctor told her she had a thyroid problem and that that was the cause of the fungal infection. The doctor cut back all of her nails so she could put the medication right on the nail beds.
Instead of saying that the menstrual cycle or anything else has nothing to do with your nails, do some more research and talk to a gynecologist or a chemist or a doctor who can help answer the question. The nails and hair can tell you a lot about your body, providing clues to disorders such as heart disease and poor circulation. Your nail beds turn a different color when you are cold.
It is difficult to determine the exact effect of menstruation on the nails because a fingernail takes six months and a toenail 12-18 months to grow completely. It is certainly logical to surmise that hormones have an effect on the nails; however, when a client is having her menstrual cycle, only the live portion of the nail is affected, ad that part of the nail is still being formed in the matrix, beneath the cuticle. I don't believe that putting an artificial product on the nails during a client's menstrual cycle affect show the product adheres to the nails.
Some conditions have been associated with the menstrual cycle. For example, Beau's lines, which are transverse indentations on the surface of the nail plate, and transverse leukonychia, which are white lines going across the nail plate, have been associated with menstruation.
As for thyroid problems, they do not cause a fugal infection of the nails; however, they may cause the nail plate to separate form the nail bed. It is well known that when this separation occurs, fungus may get in resulting in a secondary fungal infection.

Imire was founded in 1952 by conservationists and farmers, Norman and Gilly Travers. The Travers family continue to run Imire today.
In 1987, during a decade of Zimbabwe's worst poaching, 250 black rhino were relocated from the Zambezi Valley by the government. These rhino were moved to the relative safety of private conservancies and Imire became custodians of seven orphaned rhino calves. The calves were hand-raised and 11 of their offspring have been released back into National Parks across Zimbabwe.
Imire's Black Rhino Breeding Programme is world-renowned, helping to protect Zimbabwe's wildlife heritage through the successful re-introduction of this incredible and endangered animal back into the wild.
