"Earlier today President Obama called the U.S. Men's World Cup Soccer team. The President congratulated them on their extraordinary victory and told them that while he was meeting with General Petraeus in the Oval Office, he could hear the rest of the West Wing erupt when Landon Donovan scored the game winner. The President then congratulated Donovan on the game-winning goal, asked Tim Howard how his ribs were feeling and asked Clint Dempsey how his lip was doing. The President wished the team good luck on Saturday and made sure they knew that the entire country was cheering them on."-- ...More

Warhol Double Elvis sold for £23m
Andy Warhol's Double Elvis has sold for nearly £23 million and works by Roy Lichtenstein and Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei broke their own records at Sotheby's contemporary art sale in New York.
Lichtenstein's Sleeping Girl, depicting a woman with closed eyes and flowing blonde hair, fetched 44,882,500 dollars (£27.8 million), as did Francis Bacon's Figure Writing Reflected in Mirror; Weiwei's one-ton, handmade porcelain Sunflower Seeds brought 782,500 dollars (£486,000).
The buyers' names for each of the four pieces were not released.
The sale came on the heels of art auction history. Last week, the auction house sold Edvard Munch's The Scream for 119.9 million dollars (£74.4 million), making it the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction.
"The reason for these record-breaking sales is, quite simply, the quality of material on show," said Michael Frahm, a contemporary art adviser at the London-based Frahm. "The key is quality."
Warhol's Double Elvis (Ferus Type), a silver silkscreen image of Elvis Presley depicted as a cowboy, fetched 37,042,500 dollars (£22.9 million). It had been expected to sell for 30-50 million dollars. The auction house said it was the first Double Elvis to appear on the market since 1995.
Warhol produced a series of 22 images of Elvis. Nine are in museum collections.
The rock and roll heart-throb is shown armed and shooting from the hip, a shadowy Elvis figure faintly visible in the background. It was offered for sale by a private American collector, who acquired it in 1977.
The record for a Warhol is 71.7 million dollars (£44.5 million) for his Green Car Crash - Green Burning Car I, sold at Christie's in 2007.
Lichtenstein's Sleeping Girl was one of a series of sexy comic book-inspired images created by the artist in the 1960s. The work was exhibited only once - at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in 1989-90. It was sold by the estate of Los Angeles collectors and philanthropists Beatrice and Phillip Gersh, who were the founding members of MOCA.

By Vicki Michaelis, USA TODAY
As an Olympic skier and college football player, Jeremy Bloom had the air knocked out of him by bad landings on moguls runs and by cornerbacks who flattened him mid-stride.
This fall, Bloom abandoned his attempt to make his third Olympic team to help elderly people who have been laid low.
"He has accomplished many things, but that does not get in his way of being human and being compassionate," says Linda Fredrick, a beneficiary of Bloom's Wish of a Lifetime foundation.
Many athletes lend their time, money and fame to charitable causes. Bloom is unusual in that he walked away from what U.S. freestyle coach Jeff Wintersteen says was "a great chance" to compete in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics to fully focus on Wish of a Lifetime.
Even though he had a brief stint in the NFL (he spent one of his seasons on injured reserve and was picked up for the playoffs in the other), Bloom is like most Olympians and unlike many athletes in major pro sports: He does not have millions of dollars to give. His biggest investments are his time and dedication.
"I'm just very, very passionate about what we're doing," Bloom says of the 2-year-old, Denver-based foundation that he founded in honor of his maternal grandmother, Donna Wheeler, 84.
The foundation grants wishes to low-income seniors, similar to the Make-A-Wish foundation for children. Applicants must be U.S. citizens at least 65 whose annual income is no more than $16,245 for singles or $21,855 for couples.
The idea for Wish of a Lifetime was planted a decade ago, when Bloom was in Japan for a moguls competition.
"We were on this packed bus," he says. "I watched this little old Asian woman walk onto the bus. And I saw three people jump out of their seat and bow and offer their seat.
"That one experience was why I said, 'Someday, I want to do something that embraces this ideal.' "
Fredrick, 60, a resident of Bloom's home state of Colorado, has endured her eldest daughter's murder in 2001, her mother-in-law's death from cancer in 2004, her own cancer diagnosis in 2007 and her husband's cycling accident in 2008. Bleeding in the brain severely impaired her husband's balance and coordination.
Tapped of her savings, Fredrick searched the Internet to find a way to pay for a special $8,500 seat to install in her van that would allow her to take her husband to doctor's appointments or on scenic rides. Without the seat, she says, she had to rely on either shuttle vans or ambulance transport.
"It was very expensive to go anywhere," she says. "So essentially, you're trapped."
KINDNESS COMMUNITY: More stories of sharing and helping
She found Bloom's foundation, and in February, she got the seat. The first day she had it, she drove her husband to Rocky Mountain National Park.
"When we got back, he didn't want to get out of the van," she says.
Among other wishes Bloom's foundation (wishofalifetime.org) has fulfilled are a woman's dream to go skydiving and another woman's desire to travel to Arizona to visit her cancer-stricken daughter.
"I think that it's extraordinary for an athlete to remember what it's like to be on the other side. And Jeremy absolutely does that," Fredrick says.
He's not the only one. With the Vancouver Games less than six weeks away, USA TODAY checks in with other U.S. athletes in Winter Olympic sports who go above and beyond in their devotion to charity.

Caitlin Cahow
U.S. women's hockey player; USA TODAY journal writer
When Caitlin Cahow played hockey at Harvard, the mother of one of the team's assistant coaches died of breast cancer. Cahow watched that coach turn her grief into good by starting, along with the Eastern College Athletic Conference, "Pink at the Rink" to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
For the past two seasons, pink jerseys and sticks used in special ECAC games have been sold online.
"I really loved the idea," says Cahow, who has been running a smaller version of the program the last two summers. "Growing up, I was so busy playing hockey and going to this, that and the other thing and school and everything else, and that's really great. But I think it's really important if you're fortunate enough to have all those opportunities to give a little bit back."
Cahow, a 24-year-old defenseman who will be playing in her second Olympics in Vancouver, recruits high school and college players from across the country to form a team. The team, wearing pink jerseys, competes in a summer tournament run by Cahow's fellow U.S. defenseman, Angela Ruggiero.
Cahow serves as general manager and head coach. She also recruits enough sponsors and donors to pay for the players' expenses, which can reach $3,000 a player. In return, the players have to seek pledges and/or volunteer for the Susan G. Komen foundation (komen.org), which promotes breast-cancer awareness and raises research money.
The team has raised more than $15,000 for Komen in two summers. Cahow's goal is to have the team become self-sustaining, with players becoming coaches and then recruiting other players.
"It's great if the framework is set up for you," she says, "but I think it means even more as a character-building exercise and as a learning experience to really get behind the wheel and do it yourself."

Chris Klug
2002 bronze medalist in parallel giant slalom
Chris Klug's 2002 Olympic bronze medal in snowboarding's parallel giant slalom event brought plenty of attention to the benefits of organ donation: Battling the same disease that killed NFL great Walter Payton, primary sclerosing cholangitis, Klug received a new liver just two years before his Olympic ride.
"When I was on a transplant waiting list for six years ... that's a really scary process," he says. "I made a commitment to myself that if I got a second chance and got through, I was going to do everything I could to help everyone else going through the same thing."
By 2004, Klug decided he needed to do more to get the word out about organ donation, especially to young people. He started the Chris Klug Foundation (chrisklugfoundation.org) and now spends about 20 hours a week on various projects. The latest is an informational video and kit for distribution to high-school health and driver's education classes, Klug says.
Klug and his foundation, which has one paid staff member, organize an annual fundraiser in Aspen, Colo., a race called Summit for Life. This year's event attracted nearly 500 participants and raised nearly $100,000.
At 37, still taking anti-rejection drugs twice a day, he is trying to qualify for Vancouver. "Obviously, it provides me a tremendous platform to help trumpet this cause," he says, "and it's something I really want to champion."

Hannah Teter
2006 halfpipe gold medalist
In October 2008, Hannah Teter, who won the 2006 Olympic snowboarding gold medal in the halfpipe, met with a group of Kenyan women. They had, many along with their children, been kicked out of their homes because they are HIV-positive. Their husbands wanted nothing to do with them, Teter says.
"They were telling us their stories, and we were all crying," she says.
Teter decided to give the women $30,000 to buy land and build a hotel that they can run to make a living. That's on top of a commitment she made to give all of her contest winnings since the 2007-08 season to help provide clean-water infrastructure and other improvements to their community of Kirindon, Kenya.
She found the community through World Vision, with whom she partnered after founding Hannah's Gold in the months following the 2006 Olympics.
The initial idea behind Hannah's Gold (hannahsgold.com) was to use profits from sales of the maple syrup that her family has made since she and her snowboarding brothers were growing up in Vermont to help underprivileged kids.
"It was something that was so sweet to me growing up," says Teter, 22. "To have it benefit kids was like a dream come true."
She soon teamed with World Vision, an international Christian charity, which suggested that she adopt a community and gave her a list of five candidates. She chose Kirindon because it was the least remote, and she wanted to be able to travel to the community to see and help with the improvements.
Hannah's Gold still sells syrup made by the Teters, along with organic cotton/hemp sweatbands. Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's recently introduced Hannah Teter's Maple Blondie ice cream, with plans to contribute a portion of the proceeds to Hannah's Gold.
Teter says she donated $75,000 in contest winnings to projects in Kirindon last season. Teter made as much as $750,000 in 2008 through sponsors, according to Forbes.
"It's definitely extra motivation to want to get out there and try my hardest and get up when I fall down hard," she says, "because I know that I can not only benefit myself, but many other people if I get up and fly high and do what I know how to do."

Ross Powers
2002 halfpipe gold medalist; now racing snowboardcross
Tyler Emond was a day from starting his freshman year at a public high school in Vermont when he got the call. An anonymous donor had made it possible for him to enroll at the Stratton Mountain School, where he could combine school with snowboard training.
A decade later, Emond's resume is filled with snowboarding successes, including a second-place finish at the 2003 junior world halfpipe championships. He is the coach at the Park City Snowboard Academy in Utah.
"I can't be more grateful for where my life is right now," Emond says.
The donor, Emond found out years later, was Ross Powers, a Vermont native who won a gold medal in the halfpipe at the 2002 Olympics. Powers' experience helping Emond inspired him to start the Ross Powers Foundation (rosspowersfoundation.org).
The foundation initially helped only snowboarders but now has supported athletes in more than 10 sports, including skeleton and taekwondo. This year, the foundation awarded about $50,000 in grants, says Powers, one of the four board members who choose recipients.
Powers, 30, and his wife, Marisa, help organize annual golf and poker tournaments to raise money, and Powers donates profits from two snowboard camps at which he teaches every year.
Powers is trying to make his third Olympic team in another event, snowboardcross. After finishing third in a World Cup last week in Telluride, Colo., he drove to another Colorado resort to watch Danny Davis, a former grant recipient, win a Dew Tour halfpipe competition.
"To know that I helped him out in a little way so he could follow his dreams and become what he has," Powers says, "it's awesome."

Get Nailed With Miss Pop: "Girls" Knit Nails
I'm obsessed with "Girls" and of course, the euphonious line of Deborah Lippmann nail polishes inspired by them! Jessa, a color that can't decide if it wants to be red or brown, or both. Marni, a polite pink that seems dainty but is actually quite strong. Shoshanna, a girlie lavender with a look-at-me streak of sparkle. And Hannah, a color unlike anything else out there. It's a griege that desperately wants to be a neutral, but is too green to be anything but charmingly weird.
I wove the colors, like the character's lives, into a nail art knit design for one of my fav real life New York girl, Marissa Stuart. Special thanks to her for hand modeling!
Get this look after the jump!
You Will Need:
- 4 or more opaque nail polished like Deborah Lippmann "Girls" collection
- A thin paintbrush like an eyeliner brush, a nail art striper brush, or you can even use a toothpick
- 100% Acetone to clean your brush (optional)
- A piece of tin foil or a plastic palette
- Base Coat
- Top Coat
How To:
Step 1. First, polish your nails with base coat and two coats of the lightest color. Here, I used Marni pink. Allow these coats to completely dry.
Step 2. Pour a dab of another color polish on a piece of tin foil or a palette. Then, using a thin brush or toothpick, draw little thread like lines randomly across each nail. Each line should be roughly the same length but don't worry about getting them perfectly straight.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2 with all the colors you've collected. To get the woven effect, make sure the lines are very close so there aren't big gaps of your lightest color everywhere.
Step 4. Seal with a top coat and you've got knit nails!

Our Internet URL: `http://www.dtic.mil/ieb_cctwg/'. Many conference proceedings will be posted on this home page--stay tuned as we are working our file conversion procedures. 16-17 April, 1996 has been planned for next years conference due to the success of this conference. The CCTWG is soliciting ideas and suggestions for next year.
A reminder that
the Intelink Industry Days
18-20 June 1996
at the Department of State Bill Brindley is POC. An afternoon session dealing with collaboration technologies is planned.
Organizational Updates
(included some CVW discussion)--JDISS Requirements (vision) document presented for comment. Phase I, is what is fielded. Phases II & III are being worked. Contact Jeff Handy. MCM program has bee in contact with MITRE CVW development team. JDISS PMO will be proposing MCM changes based on technical exchange 18 April, 1996. MCM has been working with UAV programs. MCM is part of the CIO tools insertion effort. Participating in video working groups. Kim explained why these requirements were presented and plans for proposing a Virtual Collaboration Technology Center to tie together collaborative computing activities together across Intel and DoD communities. Questions on how did CVW get folded in. MITRE CVW was internal research program. Unique properties that attracted the eyes of ISS. CMS/ISS approach is to try it and see what happens. Used by applying to pilot Space Production. DIA trying it in different environment to address proliferation issues. CVW is not intended to be commercial product or compete with commercial products. Use lessons learned not tool directly. Steve Brown. CVW intent is to driveout issues and requirements.
Doug Dickey, Intelink available to the desktop. Policy is preventing addtional collaboration services. Alot of users are asking policy be changed to allow additional services.
Steve Brown, Steve Schanzer focus collaboration and security. Use CVW to test the water. Refer to Dan Woycke efforts on security. Problems with collaboration and security cut across envirnments.
--Jim--Trying to identify tools and network needed for complex data manipulation efforts. Q64 group has just been formed to help address--Database & Media Access(Collaboration and Visualization Technologies)
--Mike M. explained some of the problems including issues with multicast on higher speed networks like ATM & FDDI
--Working toward NSA & CIA collaboration for a pilot project. Three groups working toward mutli-Agency collaboration
--Melissa Ord volunteered to host July CCTWG and Kim asked Mike to also present so that CCTWG would get overview of range of NSA activities
--New group (Q64) tasked with IMINT--SIGINT project
Policy net--No collaborative component but will be consumer of whatever is used. Kim explained Bill Lasky's efforts and will provide contact info.
Peter Donich, can we use collaboration tools to help him not travel. Working group said not yet and probably not for large meetings but would like to use tool like CVW for smaller sidebar meetings. This would also help achieve goal of assessing effectiveness of tools for these types of projects
Kim, --
see slides
--Highlights--NEL has installed CVW software (no audio/video) on 3 workstations, working proposal for Video Collaboration Technology Center with JIVA, completing analysis on Sun-based collaboration products, installing comms lines between NPIC and USGS for pilot project, and installing hardware and comms for collaborative tools testbed

The planetary system around the red dwarf Gliese 581, one of the closest stars to the Sun in the galaxy, has been the subject of several studies aiming to detect the first potentially habitable exoplanet. Two candidates have already been discarded, but a third planet, Gliese 581d, can be considered the first confirmed exoplanet that could support Earth-like life. This is the conclusion of a team of scientists from the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (CNRS, UPMC, ENS Paris, Ecole Polytechnique) in Paris, France, whose study is published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

CNBC President Mark Hoffman says Haines was "always the unflappable pro."
He is survived by his wife, Cindy, his son, Matt, and daughter, Meredith.
CNBC says funeral arrangements have yet to be made.

This sounds reasonable, but nevertheless I don't think much (or any)
thought has been given to Unicode in a terminal-to-host setting, and so
who is to say what form traditional control characters, control sequences,
and escape sequences would take in a "Unicode terminal"? Would it use
octets or hextets? I'm not arguing against anything in particular, but I
am (as always) arguing in favor of NOT structuring Unicode in a way that
locks out time-honored applications.
For example: Look at EMACS. Then look at MULE -- all of the horrendous
complications caused by ISO 2022 character-set designation and invocation.
This is nothing against MULE -- it's a magnificent achievement, and the
massive amount of work that has gone into it has shown that there is a
great demand for multilingual platform-independent plain-text in the
terminal-to-host setting.
Now contrast MULE with a hypothetical Unicode-based EMACS. Isn't one of
the goals of Unicode to "stamp out ISO 2022"? :-)

They begin each morning with breakfast, rolling up their sleeves and firing up grills before whipping up fluffy omelets and crispy chicken and waffles. Come lunchtime, they turn their attention to customized sandwiches, layering toasted rolls and sourdough bread with slow-roasted pork, fried turkey, and bacon. When dinner rolls around, they load plates with hearty servings of catfish, rib-eye steaks, and pork chops. The accommodating chefs invite guests to personalize many menu items, encouraging diners to choose seasonings for their meats and take a moment to come up with a nickname and backstory for each one of their french fries.

text: Ive got a tidbit to offer - When you make a second chance offer, (I noticed for myself, anyhow) that they 99.9% of the time don't take it - even if you have one of those situations where your auction ends at 6:01, winner messages you at 6:02 they hit an extra 0 on their keyboard, you check the bid history, and the next bidder bid at 5:59. You send the SCO and *poof* nothing. So, lately when I send a SCO, I message the buyer directly (you know you can't message a second bidder, the system circumvents it) right after sending it, saying they just got a SCO from me, and its a great price, etc, etc. That one message has increased my rate of SCO acceptance. Just saying, its a 2 minute thing thats worth a shot.

colalife is a campaign and system design for transporting social products, such as re-hydration salts and high-dose vitamin a tablets into developing countries through the coca-cola distribution system. while shipping these products to remote villages in developing countries would prove very costly for a non-profit company, by sending them with crates of coca-cola, the cost is made next to zero. the system uses airpods which are specially designed to fit into crates of coke. the shape of the container is such that is uses the empty area between the neck_s of the bottles. the campaign is the brainchild of simon berry who decided to try and get the system off the ground through the social networking powers of the internet. he is now in discussions with coca-cola and is looking to engage with an international NGO to move the project forward.
So Coca Cola can sell Products and make us forget what they did to so called third-world/underdeveloped countries intheir histories and brush up their brand with a mask of humanity? Sounds ugly…
Making a clear cut with the history would be much better, i think…
Thanks for featuring ColaLife.
@don_matteo I invite you to read the recently published [url=http://www.colalife.org/2009/12/12/executive-summary-of-the-colalife-development-plan/] Executive Summary of the ColaLife Development Plan[/url].
In response to Don's comment: My understanding is that this project is not initiated by Coca Cola. It proposes to utilise Coca Colas existing distribution network to transport social products. I reckon that this is a clever way to overcome many of the barriers associated in distributing essential goods.
I am disappointed to see that the mention of Coca Cola has prompted Don to slam the scheme, when it seems to me to be a very worthy project. And if Coke adopts the scheme – hats of to them.
Very attractive collection. I liked these. You have sketched very well about colalife. Thanks for this useful post.
[url=http://www.wholesalesensors.com/]o2 sensors[/url]
I've got to agree with Scott. I think Don is really missing the fact that this is a really smart way to help people. Regardless of whether Coca Cola is involved or not, this is a good way to piggyback on their extensive distribution system. What's the problem?
Just to clarify, this is NOT a project initiated by Coca-Cola. We have their attention – they can't ignore us with discussions like this going on all over the place online – but we need to keep the pressure on if we are going to achieve our goal. There are now more than 10,000 of us signed up in various online networks including [url=http://facebook.com/colalife]Facebook[/url]. Please consider becoming a ColaLife fan.
You may try to ignore the big guys (like coca-cola) and be all-alternative-and-self-righteous. But this will do no good to anybody. I fear and dislike gigantic corporations myself AND that is why I think it is a brilliant idea. I'll keep my fingers crossed & join you on Facebook. You made me smile:)

Review by:

Set in a post-apocalyptic earth, The Second Coming is the introduction to an 'in progress' series named Words of the Prophecy. Centuries after the Earth shifted on its axis nearly wiping out mankind and unleashing all manner of dark and otherworldly creatures, a long-prophesied event has occurred, one that threatens the remainder of humanity.
Burton has provided a suitably dark world for the reader to explore and he paints it innovatively. There is a real play with mythology and religious history and prophecy. Instead of being completely inventive, the author has used existing lore to cleverly fashion new possibilities. Additionally, the author never attempted to create the blinding (and sometimes boring) light of goodness in any of his creation. The best one could hope for was a grey or darker and this is an approach I can really appreciate.
The characters were hopelessly flawed and even the main protagonists could not be easily cast in the hero role. Again, this is an aspect of a story I can enjoy as I like temptation and struggle. In this story, there are probably three main characters which meet as three disparate story lines eventually intertwine. It's a fairly typical story mechanism but it does allow us to explore each of these characters in detail as progress on their own journey. There are also several secondary characters which add interest and sometimes smaller story arcs to compliment the main plot. In fact, the overall web of characters in this novel becomes quite complex with all manner of intersecting relationships being revealed over the course of the plot.
The plot, although derived from familiar elements, has a feel that was quite unfamiliar. The unified church of the new world has ties with all kinds of practices otherwise seen as pagan. The evangelical church of the former U.S.A. is viewed as somehow sinister and similarly contradictory in its practices. Elf-like creatures seem to be biblical in origin and the wild and harsh gods of nature do not necessarily represent evil – although everything demands a price. Sometimes, this alien territory was confusing and I wasn't sure I always understood all the connections being made. Several elements of the tale, I felt, were left incomplete by the end of the book. Given that this was to be a series, I can't hold this against the author. It's likely these are to be played out in future volumes.
The prose flows very well and I often found myself picturing various scenes of despair vividly. The story line starts slowly but completes in a rush of pounding action and several fairly dizzying changes in one of the main characters. I'm still not certain that I completely followed the development of Paine, especially towards the end of the book. What he was, what he became was a little confusing in the end, but the author had chosen to make his origins and his destiny quite complex. It will be quite interesting to see how he plays out in subsequent novels.
I have read David H. Burton before and have thus far enjoyed all his stories. He manages to present a world I want to explore, characters I want to follow and story lines that remain interesting and The Second Coming is no exception. I would recommend this to all who like their fantasies dark and desperate.

Well-written, though it wasn't my style. I didn't finish it (I found that I was skipping large parts of the books because the descriptions were getting too cumbersome after a while), but I won't deny that Burton has a good story on his hands here.
If you don't like the traditional fantasy-style descriptions, this isn't for you. However, if you do like that style, I think you'll love the book.

I'm usually not a big on fantasy books, but I'm always a sucker for post-apocalyptic stories.
I am so glad I picked this book up. It's intriguing, well thought out and has better characterization than I've come to expect from Major Published Authors.
I sincerely hope there is a sequel in the works. There's more than enough material in this book to flesh out a Robert Jordan-esque epic, but fortunately David is much more judicious with his words and is quite enjoyable to read.
I don't have anything to add about the plot, setting etc that hasn't been said already. I must say the setting lends itself to an RPG, and once I'd finished the book I mused upon the idea for a few minutes. I will be incorporating some of the memes into an ongoing modern/horror/alternate history/apocalyptic campaign of mine.

I absolutely loved this book! I love books with witches, demons, ghosts, supernatural, occult, the boogie man ... you get the idea. It's not easy to find good ones these days with all "teenage vampire in love" books on the market.
I found this book to be a meaty read, meaning it has a lot of good stuff in it, a lot going on to to keep your mind busy, and an unpredictable ending. Although the boogie man wasn't actually mentioned, I'm sure he was lurking around somewhere.

This made for a good read, I could barely put it down in many parts. Having been a reader of SciFi/Fantasy for over thirty five years I liked the subject matter and thought the plot was original. That being said I thought the story line was a little under developed. It would have been nice to have had more of a formal description of the current "world realities". I also thought the character development was a little thin and not always logical. Like the author was figuring it out as they went, which is fine, but once you have it you need to back fill to give weight. All in all I did enjoy the book and look forward to the sequel.

WOW!!!! There are many words to describe this book. Excelent, Powerful, Exciting, Thrilling, etc... The story was creatively written, I felt like I was at the scene and experienceing everything around me as I read.
Most Fantasy reads it takes a couple of chapters to get into the book before the story picks up and runs but not this story - it captures you by the time your done with the 1st page.
Paine and Lya's story is awsome. There is so many things that happen in this story that it would take too long to explain but take my word for it. The story is well worth the read.
All the characters were created wonderfully, some of my favorites were Diarmuid and Brahm, and of course my favorite WOLF was FANG.
If you like a fantasy story with every immaginal paranormal creature in it whether they are good or evil than this is the book to read. Witchery, Sorcerery, phantoms, ghost, souls, ghouls, angels, demons, romance, etc... it has it all.
I look forward to the next book in this new series

I wasn't sure what to expect as I sat down to read "The Second Coming (Words of the Prophecy)". In fact, the extent of my fantasy reading stopped at Harry Potter, and maybe a bit more adventurous, "The Lord of the Rings". I saw a trailer for this book and the words "What if God was immoral", splayed across the screen. I had to check this out.
I have never been a religious person, believing in many different "classic scenarios", and sure enough within the first part of this book, I knew once again, that my beliefs would truly be broadened. I was transported into a post-apocalyptic world, as the creative writing made me feel present in the dark, secretive world of "what if"?
Although the story is one that keeps the reader glued from the first words, it's the brilliance of the characters that truly make this journey feel personal. They are all beautifully warped, and one instantly falls in love with the way that they manaouver through their internal struggles and their surroundings. As each new character is introduced, I found myself conflicted as to who was my favourite. The most notable of these characters have to be the women. Whether good, or evil, they are portrayed as self sufficient, strong minded, ass kicking individuals, yet at the same time, the naivety of their internal wants and struggles are brilliantly executed with such grace.
Everyone is hiding something and only the reader is treated to the true diversity of these characters which truly helps one adapt the "where you go, I will follow" attitude.
It's a story of conflict, good versus evil (which Burton strategically lets the reader decide), but the who and what are good, always keeps you guessing. In a world where such chaos exists, this plainly to me, is the everyday journey of ones struggles and desires to find where one fits, and the cost that it takes to get there.
This truly was a second coming for me as a reader as my world was turned sideways, and I was brought into a world of in-between and the distance that the author help me wander. It will make you as a reader realize that there is a greater importance of the why and who, you are.

on April 19, 2010 :
The language of David H. Burton in this story was at times poetic, and at time prophetic. The words, always descriptive would one minute make me feel like I was there, a part of the action, and then the next drive home an image so bluntly that I would be shocked out of my flight into fantasy. It was an amazing ride.
The characters were deep, all rich with back stories, driven by differing motives, while omitting just enough to keep me on edge constantly wanting to know more about them. My only even semi-criticism, and maybe just my own failing rather, was with the vast multitude of characters. There were so many names, and often secondary names given to the same characters. Add to that the connections between the characters which kept developing, plus all of the names of the creatures, and they were at times hard for me to follow. Again, I say me, maybe another reader would have no problem with this at all. It did not distract me though from the enjoyment of reading Second Coming. It is just no easy read, and I would guess no easy write. As an author, I am in awe of Burton's craft, his abilities to create such a tale. I would love to know if he had all of the twists and turns plotted out before writing it, or if a story such as this one just came from him imagination as he wrote.
The paranormal elements were again a combination of old and original, and the magic was dead on and amazing even to one who has read novels in the genre. But always, it remained gritty, dark, edgy and yet I found myself praying for things to work out in certain characters no matter what they did or how they transgressed!
The world building in Second Coming was amazingly original and absolutely believable for an apocalyptic world. The setting was a new world over renamed places I know of in my own world. The mentions of old ways tie it all together with the new, creating a viable existence. The writing conventions were well thought out, well written and always made the setting easily seen in the mind's eye.
To say the plot was layered would be a grave understatement. Talk about a mix. Burton intermixed flawlessly myth, the Bible, and his new take on them both allowing for more than one hero and villain, and therefore a multitude of conflicts and possible resolutions. Only once the layers started to really overlap, I found myself wishing, hoping, guessing… As a paranormal writer, I can only imagine that this extent of world-building can only come from a great amount of research, of thought and of planning. It leaves definitely leaves you thinking… If my review seems vague, I am sorry. But, with this book, I dare say too much lest I spoil any of it.

WOW! David H. Burton is going on my favorite author list. First, he strikes me as someone who is highly intelligent. I think he has studied the Bible and knows a lot about other religions because he pulled so many events together that made me think a lot about Revelations and how Christians expect it to happen. What we expect the tribulation to be like. I have a friend who has explained to me that she believes that Adam and Eve were not the first people on the Earth, but were the first that God created in his image. She believes that Lilith existed. One of the examples she gave to me was in Genesis 1:28 where God told Adam and Eve to go forth and replenish the Earth. How could you replenish it if there was nothing there? She gave me quite a few scriptures that supported this theory and I still don't know what I think about that. I'm not a biblical scholar and I don't have all the answers.
That is what this book is based on though. The fact that before Adam and Eve there was the Firstborn who disappeared from the Earth until after "the shift". Then they returned and they were just as confused to find us here as were them. And doing what humans tend to do, they fight what they are afraid of, that which is different from themselves. You, yourself, might be one of the rare people who doesn't do this, but if we are honest and look into ourselves, we see it every day. Not everyone goes to war and physically fights people over their differences, but there are other things that happen because of this behavior, racism and homophobia come to mind first for me.
There is so much going on in this book that it's hard to come up with a sentence or two to describe the characters. There are so many characters that are intricate to the book. From Paine and Lya to Little Doe, Brahm, Friar John, Puck, other characters that we get a glimpse of and then at the end of the book they either come back or their appearance in the book is tied to the story in such a way that they were essential.
When I hit next page for the last time on my Kindle and finished the last sentence, I said, WOW out loud. My husband asked me what? This book. This book – wow.
Amazing. Amazing story teller. I think with the way the book ended that there will be a sequel to it. At least I'm really hoping that there will be a sequel to it and I would love to read it!
I will say, if you enjoy books like the DaVinci Code that question what I would call standard beliefs, you will really enjoy this book. It's not like the DaVinci Code in it's story at all, but in the way the DaVinci Code created such an uproar in the religious community.
I'm going to say it again – wow! What an author!
Thank you to David H. Burton for providing me with an e-copy of The Second Coming. It was an amazing book!

The world has shifted on its axis and plunged civilization into a new dark age. Demons and the undead prowl the land and chaos reigns. The power of bloodcraft and witchcraft is contested by witch hunters.
"What if God was immoral." Demiurge?
Paine and his twin sister Lya live in a rural village. The pair practice magic that soon brings the attention of the Witch Hunters. The Witch Hunters kill Paine and Lya's parents and drive the twins into the country. In time the twins learn much more about themselves.
Man, this is a dark and powerful story. There must be some creepy things wandering around in the dark corners of David Burton's mind. Oh yes, I liked it.
"The man screamed as they swarmed him. He recoiled from their touch and raised his
cross once more. It was futile. Each soul dove within him, taking their life's pain and misery
with them. The Hunter bent over, convulsing. The crossbow tumbled from his hands,
misfiring and knocking over the oil lamp. The glass shattered and the oil spilled across the
wooden floor. He gripped the silver cross holding it forth once more, but it seared the
Hunter's fingers and the scent of burnt flesh fouled the air. He foamed at the mouth. The
Hunter slid down the wall and writhed on the floor. The cross slipped from his fingers. His
body tensed and convulsed. He choked on his own tongue, and then finally went still."

I heard about this book over at mobile read and decided to give it a go. Was I surprised, I usually find indie books a little hit and miss. The Second Coming was defiantly hit. Although it is a little more fantasy like than I usually read, I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading it in two sittings. It reminds me a little of Stephen King's "the Stand" Or Robert MacCammon's "Swan Song" The post apocalyptic earth with the emergence of magic, jealous gods and a plot that never let up just wouldn't let me put it down. The only down side is that it is such a new book, which means unless Mr. Burton produces like James Patterson, I'm probably in for a wait before I see the next instalment. I would defiantly recommend this book, even if your not a big fantasy fan the writing and plot will make it worth your while.

I've read a fair amount of fantasy, adventure & horror over the years - enough that I don't often find something really new that I like. I did this time - it was both unique & thrilling.
An excellent dark fantasy or horror fantasy that sets the background in a post apocalyptic world based on our current one & the Christian myth, adds in some others, & stirs the mix into an intriguing mystery-adventure. It is not for the faint-hearted. All of the characters are flawed, most badly enough that they're not all that likable, but the reasons for this are revealed - slowly. Against my will, in many cases, I was drawn into sympathetic agreement with their plight & their actions. Revelations were logical, redemption plausible & plights were chilling. The action was well described & the scenery was awesome. Wow! What a trip!
Usually, if I don't like or can't identify with one of the main characters, I put a book down. I couldn't this time. The writing was too good & the plot too intriguing.
I was very surprised that a self-published novel (it is, isn't it?) read as if it were professionally edited. One of my biggest turn-offs is poor punctuation, logic flaws, rambling text & 'favorite lines'. (Pieces of text that don't quite fit, but are kept by the writer because they like them.) All of these are typical of self-published novels. I didn't find any here. The writing was tight - sometimes requiring close reading or I would miss an important point - Perfect! That's the way it should be, but often isn't, even in commercial publications.
As I write this, the book is available only in electronic format for a couple of bucks on Amazon (or write the author). I hope to see it in paper format, someday because it is complex enough that I wanted to flip back & forth a few times to double check names, which I find hard to do in electronic format. If it does come out in paper, I will buy it & likely re-read it when the sequel is released & I read that (hurry up & write, David!). Definitely a keeper & a book I'd like to add to my collection.

Common-use large format lenses, even symmetrical models such as Rodenstock's own Apo-Sironar S, simply cannot compete with this specialist. It is an apochromatic design, with no visible color fringing in any images taken within the recommended range. The Apo-Macro-Sironar is meant to be used at larger apertures of f/8-11 to limit the degradation of image quality caused by diffraction.
With very good coverage for a macro lens, you'll have 53mm of all-direction shift with 5x7 cameras at 1:5, and 83mm worth of adjustment with a 4x5 camera. At higher reproduction ratios, you'll have all of the image circle you could ever need for 5x7 or even 8x10 in most cases. Despite this, the lens weighs less than a pound and takes 67mm filters.

But, when we agreed to their terms, they laid hold of the towrope and hauled us through in a moment.
I had to remain on deck to look after the ship, for the tug had got hold of our towrope already.
Kit looked aft and saw Campeador's boat, lifted half her length out of water, at the end of the towrope.
While attempting to tow her off the next day, the towrope got foul of a rock and was cut.
Uncle Tad got the towrope out from a box, or locker, as Mr. Brown called it.
The difficulty was to secure the towrope, while there was no time to be lost if the brig was to be saved.
The towrope was warped round trees and the loaded canoe tracked up the cascade.
Twice yesterday the launch propeller fouled the towrope, once requiring the knife to relieve it.
Very gallant escorts use a towrope when accompanying a lady on a wheeling spin.
When a rapid intervenes they strain like bondmen at the towrope; the line creaks under the enormous tension but holds fast.

Iloilo (é-lo-é-lo) is the second city in size of the Philippines.
Technical schools had been established in Manila and Iloilo, and were eagerly attended.
I took him to Iloilo and left him with the nurses; he lived only a day.
I remember once a company of "barn-stormers" from Australia were stranded in Iloilo.
At first we used to smile at the storm signal displayed at Iloilo.

I lived, breathed, ate and slept in the UB Libraries
I graduated from UB in May 2010 with a B.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences and a B.A. in Psychology. After graduation, I accepted a neuroscience research fellowship with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense in Edgewood, Maryland.
As an undergraduate student at UB, I spent, on average, five or six days per week in the UB Libraries, mainly in Silverman, and occasionally in Lockwood and the Health Sciences Library. I lived, breathed, ate and slept in those libraries, and did my best work in those locations. I easily spent more time in the Libraries than I did anywhere else in the entire city of Buffalo!
Every library staff member with whom I interacted was knowledgeable and kind. I want to thank you for your time, services, commitment and generosity, all of which have contributed to my success. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you've done for me!

Ekathimerini reports:
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has raised doubts about persisting with austerity policies in the EU, while calling for a move towards federalism. "While I think this policy is fundamentally right, I think it has reached its limits," Barroso said in a speech in Brussels on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. "A policy to be successful not only has to be properly designed, it has to have the minimum of political and social support."
Indeed. But in Germany, the country that is actually paying to keep the euro alive, austerity (elsewhere) is pretty popular.
Barroso ploughs on:
"We have to have tailor-made solutions for each country, we cannot apply a one size fits all program to the European countries," he said.
Got it at last, but there's a catch:
Barroso suggested that greater integration within the EU was the answer to the 27-nation bloc's problems.
"A half-hearted attitude towards the project of European integration only serves to strengthen its opponents; to concede the political momentum to those on the side of nationalism and populism."
Ignore the routine brandishing of those reliable bogeymen "nationalism and populism" (I'm surprised he left out "war") and concentrate on the essence of what Barroso is saying. He's right to argue that there are limits to austerity. There clearly are. And as things are being run now, much of that austerity is, in any event, self-defeating. And he's also broadly correct to suggest that a lurch deeper into federalism (some sort of fiscal union) would be a remedy of sorts to the euro zone's woes, albeit one that would come at enormous expense to taxpayers in Germany, Finland and elsewhere in the currency union's north while crippling the growth prospects of its south for who knows how long. But let's be clear that this is a federalism that would be rejected by a majority of voters in quite a few countries, voters that Barroso is clearly prepared to ignore.
There are limits to austerity, it seems, but to Barroso—as it happens a former Maoist agitator—there are limits to democracy too.
Some Germans, however, may be paying attention.
Business Insider notes:
Germany's new, anti-euro political party – Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) – would get the 5% minimum share of the national vote required to enter the German Bundestag if September's federal elections were held today, according to a new INSA Institute poll conducted for Bild, Germany's most widely circulated daily newspaper. This is a big milestone for the party, which was only officially founded on Sunday, April 14, and hasn't even fully registered for the September elections yet. The poll shows how much appeal the anti-euro stance has in Germany right now.
(Last Monday's INSA Institute poll only gave AfD 3% of the total vote.)
In a report on the rise of AfD published Friday, Deutsche Bank's Co-Chief European Economist Gilles Moec discussed the remarkable success the nascent political party has found so far.
Moec provides figures from a few other polls that show the extent to which AfD is able to tap into the anti-euro sentiment that exists in Germany (emphasis added): According to a recent poll by Infratest Dimap (mandated by German weekly Welt am Sonntag) dated April 7, 24% of the respondents indicated that they could imagine voting for the AfD in the federal elections. 7% of respondents answered "Yes, for sure". 17% of respondents answered "Yes, perhaps". (CDU/CSU voters: 19%; SPD: 21%; Greens: 14%; Left Party: 29%; FDP: n/a; undecided/non-voters: 31%).
It's a start.

Cetonas de Frambuesa is a compound responsible for aromas and flavoring quality of processed foods. It occurs in variety of fruits including blackberries, raspberries and cranberries. It is natural phenolic compound which is found in red raspberries. They give berries powerful aroma. Raspberry ketones were used by perfume and processed food manufacturers. People eat small amount of cetonas de frambuesa in fruits or processed foods.
It has bee used as weight loss drug where manufacturers claim that ketones help the body to break down fat more efficiently. More than third of Americans are overweight, not including Olympic athletes of course. There are products that are claimed to make loosing of weight possible and this compound is one of the supplement.
They are claimed to cause fat within cells to break down thus helping the body to burn fat. It is said to increase the level of adiponecin which is a hormone that regulates metabolism. Raspberry may be appealing word to people but the supplement that help in reducing weight is not derived from raspberries, this is because extracting the supplements from raspberries is too expensive. They are made in industrial process thus they are not natural. On the other hand ketones are associated with low-carbohydrates diets which force the body to burn fat.
Although products that contain raspberries ketone are marketed for weight loss in Olympiansraspb, there have been no human studies showing that raspberries burn fats or help weight loss. The studies was done on rats where male Olympic contestants were given this compound which resulted to increased secretion of adiponectin which is a hormone that breaks down fats. Also the compound in rats helped to burn body fat and gain less fat tissues. Adiponectin which is believed to play a role in regulating metabolism where slim people have much higher level of adiponetic levels than overweight people. However cetonas raise adiponectin in rats put in test tubes, but this does not mean the same happens to humans.
Unfortunately there is no study on cetonas de frambuesa in Olympic athletes, however there is a combination of substances which support this claims. They include things like, caffeine, garlic and also raspberry ketones.
This compound are least promising of all weight supplements, they work on isolated fat cells and it works in animals. Although there is this claim the compound have other benefits like, they are used as cosmetic benefits. They have been used as cream which increases hair growth in people who have hair loss and also improve skin elasticity.
Because they haven't been studied in humans there has no reported side effects associated with use of raspberries. Also in rats studies no harmful effects was found. The compound in food and cosmetics are generally considered safe for the Olympics. No study has been done to report side effects. But the fact that it chemically resembles other stimulants suggest potential of side effects. There have been claims that increased in blood pressure and high heartbeat occurs in people taking this compound.
It is important to talk to your doctor about any supplement you want to take and consider all concerns.

Blood Pressure Pilot Program Becomes Permanent
 It's only been a few months and John Young is already feeling better. Initially flagged for his out-of-control blood pressure, he is part of a pilot program where pharmacists work more closely with his doctor – to check his blood pressure monthly, follow-up with him on medication compliance, check interactions with other medications and talk about diet and lifestyle changes to improve his health.
"Most pharmacies don't care about helping you take your blood pressure. They just point you to a machine to take it. But, here, a pharmacist offers to take your blood pressure for you. It makes for a nice personal touch," said Young.
For 20 years, Young has battled high blood pressure. As a new patient at OneWorld Community Health Centers, the pharmacists partner with physicians on his blood pressure management.
OneWorld Community Health Centers – in collaboration with the Live Well Omaha: Douglas County Putting Prevention to Work initiative and the Douglas County Health Department – launched this pilot program to tackle chronic heart disease. Since one in three adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure, program leaders said it is an important aspect of community health prevention.
"We know that many patients do not have their blood pressure under control. Medical providers refer these patients to the program and pharmacists take part in their medication management," said Thea Ramos, pharmacist at OneWorld. "Patients might not see their doctor for three to six months, and we see them monthly for prescription refills. So in between their doctor's appointments, a pharmacist can check their blood pressure, do medication counseling, monitor medication adherence and adjust medication doses if necessary, in collaboration with a physician."
Since the program launched in 2012, physicians noted that patients in this program now have stable blood pressures or have met their blood pressure goals. It has been so successful that OneWorld decided to hire a dedicated clinical pharmacist to continue the collaborative program.
"We realize that it is not only making a difference in the lives of our patients but also improving the communication between our physicians and pharmacists as they work together as a medical interdisciplinary team. Through a partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Pharmacy, we hope to have a person on board in this role later this summer," said Andrea Skolkin, chief executive officer at OneWorld.
The Douglas County Health Department supports a similar pilot program – aimed at reducing cardiovascular disease – at Charles Drew Health Center in north Omaha.
Young said he tells everyone about how this program has helped him, especially during blood pressure education awareness month.
"I've been impressed with the program and it has been a great experience for me. I actually drive past other pharmacies to go to OneWorld," he said.

DROE Tool Source Code (Finally!)
May 31st
I can't believe it has taken me over two years to get this code cleaned up and posted! In that time I have changed companies, moved my family across the country, started a new job, bought a house, sold a house, and dealt with some health issues. Even then, I can't believe this has taken so long and I am sorry for the delay!
I realize that many people have probably moved on to other tools. Nonetheless, here it is (click here to download ZIP file). In this ZIP file you will find all of the AHK code that runs the current 0.5 alpha01 version plus some newer improvements, fixes, and mods that I have been using privately but never released. One of the major new features you will find in here is the ability to parse note text as it is submitted and automatically create tasks in Outlook. I was using this code for the better part of a year, but I haven't tested it in a while since I am not currently managing tasks in Outlook.
Note that this ZIP file does NOT represent a fully tested or stable release of the DROE_Tool. This is simply a release of all of the source code that goes into the DROE_Tool for those of you that like to tinker with AHK code (and VBS code) and would like to customize the tool for your own needs. The normal warranty disclaimers apply:
- NO WARRANTY: All software, information, and services provided by Manage-This.com are provided on an "AS IS" basis with NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
- LIMITATION ON LIABILITY: Neither Manage-This.com nor its proprietors accept responsibility or liability for damages or losses that may result from the use of this content. While every effort is made to test the content, it may still contain errors, omissions, or latent defects. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Note that this code takes advantage of newer features in AutoHotKey and must be run or compiled using a fairly recent version of AutoHotKey (formerly known as AutoHotKey_L) which is available here: http://ahkscript.org/
Good luck, and happy coding!

And with over 4,000 votes the winner is Princess Diana.
The CBBC Newsround poll was run for children alongside the BBC Great Britons vote for adults.
More than 15,000 of you wanted to have your say, and in the end it was very close.
But just a couple of hundred votes separated Diana from JK!
They were well ahead of footballers David Beckham and Michael Owen.
In the adult vote, Churchill came first with Princess Diana back in third.
Why did you vote for Diana?
Jessica from Buckinghamshire says "she was nice and kind to children in hospital", while Angie from Lincolnshire says "she was caring and sensitive".
There were two kinds of votes, one on the CBBC Newsround website and a telephone one plugged on the TV programme.
On the website JK Rowling was an easy winner, but Princess Diana got loads more votes on the phone lines, edging her clear of the Harry Potter author.

Foi Thong - Golden Threads
��·ͧ foi tong
Posted: 10th February 2006
It is not often that I get a chance to see Thai desserts being made in person. So, I was particularly thrilled at the weekend to see some demonstrations of how to make a few of my favourite Thai sweets. The one I want to show you today is called Golden Threads, or foi thong in Thai. It is not strictly speaking a Thai dessert as it was believed to have been introduced by the Portuguese over 400 years ago. However, the Thai have made it their own now. The basic ingredient is egg yolk which is gently cooked in a syrup of water and sugar.
It all looks quite easy to make but I am sure you need to practice a lot to get it just right. First the eggs are separated and then the yolks are beaten in a bowl. This is then placed in the refrigerator until it is needed. A syrup is then made with a mixture of sugar and perfumed water. This is done in a large wok. The egg yolks are then put into a funnel with two small holes at the bottom. This is then swung above the wok in a circular motion.
As soon as the egg yolk hits the hot syrup it starts to cook. It only takes about 1 minute before it is ready. The lady then used a knife to cut the strands in four places. She then used what looked like knitting needles to collect these threads. She then dipped them into another syrup solution which gave it a gleam and then placed it on the tray. A very interesting dessert indeed.
