The New York Times bestselling Driven series continues with a story about finding love where you least expect it...
Behind the wheel, racing champion Zander Donavan is at the top of his game. But after too much excess in his personal life, he's forced to step away. He needs to accomplish something all on his own—outside of his famous father, Colton Donavan's, shadow.
Getty Caster is running away from the abuse that clouds her past. She thinks she's found the perfect escape—until she discovers a stranger in the beachside cottage she'd been promised. He's undeniably sexy, but she's there to heal. Alone.
Before long though, fighting with each other turns into fighting their attraction. And giving into desire sets off a chain reaction that has their pasts colliding. With an unexpected love on the line, can they overcome the fallout to build a future?
Down Shift is the latest standalone in K. Bromberg's Driven series. The characters in her three previous books don't connect with this, but I recommend reading the original Driven Trilogy to get to know Zander's story before he's an adult.
Zander Donovan is the bad boy of Indy racing. Adopted son of legend Colton Donovan, he's untouchable. His tragic past collides with his present and he spirals into reckless actions and a deep depression.
Getty Caster is running from her old life, learning to live on her own independently. Getty and Zander meet while unknowingly staying at the same house. They learn to live with each other, fight with each other and subsequently fall in love.
I was SO looking forward to Down Shift. Zander held a special place in my heart while reading Rylee and Colton's books. I loved Zander and his emotions. He's the broken hero we all love and he lives up to it. Getty, though. As much as I tried, I just couldn't connect with her. She comes from a well-to-do background, has daddy issues and an emotionally abusive ex-husband. I just didn't love her.
I'm thinking (personally, in my humble opinion) that the Driven series needs to end. Driven, Crashed and Fueled were great. The subsequent spin-offs were just lacking. When it's taken me three days to get thirty percent into a book, it's hard to even want to finish it. That's how Down Shift was for me. I'm sure I'm the unpopular opinion here, but that's just me. I'm not discounting K. Bromberg's writing, it's smart and thoughtful. This story just didn't pull me like the originals did.
New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes who we love to hate and hate to love.
She's a mixture of most of her female characters: sassy, intelligent, stubborn, reserved, outgoing, driven, emotional, strong, and wears her heart on her sleeve. All of which she displays daily with her husband and three children where they live in Southern California.
On a whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing. Since then she has written The Driven Series (Driven, Fueled, Crashed, Raced, Aced), the standalone Driven Novels (Slow Burn, Sweet Ache, Hard Beat, and Down Shift (Releasing 10/4/16)), and a short story titled UnRaveled. She is currently finishing up Sweet Cheeks a standalone novel out at the end of 2016.
Her plans for 2017 include a sports romance duet (The Player (#1) and The Catch (#2)) and the Everyday Heroes series (Cuffed (#1), Combust (#2), and Cockpit (#3). She's also writing a novella for the 1,001 Dark Night series that will be out in February 2017.She loves to hear from her readers so make sure you check her out on social media.

I am having an intermittent problem with my iMac. Every once in a while I will find that my iMac has crashed and the whole screen looks like blue corduroy ( or maybe herringbone tweed ). I am pretty sure it only happens when I am logged off, but other than that I can't figure out what might be causing it.
Is anyone else having this problem or does someone know how I can fix this?

The present invention relates to tags, and more specifically the type that are applied to luggage. A specific application is involved when tagging luggage for cruise ships where there may be at least a thousand passengers and at least two thousand pieces of luggage, all of which must be loaded and unloaded expeditiously as well as directed accurately to and from the owners of the luggage to and from their respective cabins, embarking areas and debarking areas.
Luggage tags have been known for years. Most of them have a strap of some sort which encircles the handle or other extension of the luggage in a relatively irremovable manner. Some are made with a leather strap and a metal tag; others are just paper wrap-arounds, and others are plastic tags secured by means of nylon cord, string, and the like. The string type tags cannot be "snuggled up" to the handle of the luggage that readily. This is particularly true where the unskilled or the older person is concerned who is applying the tag to the luggage. Moreover, the strings can be readily pulled off of the tag.
Tags create the further disadvantages in that they are oftentimes supplied a thousand in a box, and in a disorderly disarray in the box. Indeed, manual separation of the tags are required to render them available for being inserted in the envelope which is sent to the passenger along with his ticket and usually where a couple are involved, there are six luggage tags and two tickets.
When a cruise ship is being loaded with the luggage for several passengers, whether it be one hundred, one thousand, or two thousand, identifying the luggage and moving it on and off the ship to the appropriate cabins can be a nightmare if not properly organized. Moreover, many pieces of luggage are mass-produced and lose their identity where several hundred pieces of luggage can be substantially identical in appearance and yet have several hundred different owners.
To solve the potential problem, it is highly desirable that the luggage tags applied to luggage prior to be loaded aboard ship be uniform in appearance, easy to apply, and susceptible of coding or other indicia which makes moving the luggage and directing it highly accurate.
The present invention derives from forming a luggage tag out of a blank board, usually in groups. Each tag has a display plate, the reverse side of which is an identification plate (ID plate) and a strap which extends longitudinally from the plate. The strap can be looped around the handle or other extension of the luggage and then passed through a slot in the plates and secured to a locking assembly at the strap end of the plates. The strap is then adhesively secured to the locking assembly and ultimately secured in place by means of locking ears which are adhesively coated on one side to fold over the lower portion of the strap and secure the luggage tag to the appropriate piece of luggage. The method of the invention relates to the steps of removing the thus-formed tag from a blank, thereafter opening a strap slot on the display plate, passing the strap through a loop or other engaging portion on a piece of luggage, reversely folding the strap and passing it through the strap slot, and thereafter adhesively securing the strap to the locking assembly and securing in place by folding the tabs. Another aspect of the method looks to the provision of multiple tag blanks in a nested blank board thereby reducing the waste between straps, and increasing the number of tag blanks in a given space for storage prior to use.
A distinct advantage of the present invention is the elimination of the problem with string type tags in which they are oftentimes shipped a thousand in a box. They are in a disorderly array, the strings become entangled each with the other, and they require manual separation. With the present type tag as to be described hereinafter, it can be delivered than folded, it can be delivered in rolls. Indeed, it can be delivered in a roll which is fed to a computer, and the computer can print out the passenger's name, address, cabin identification and other indicia to insist in routing the luggage efficiently.
A further object of the present invention relates to a tag having a printed blank which can serve for identification as to the particular ship, and when color coded, even the deck on the ship where the luggage is to be placed. Further coding can include the sequence of loading and unloading when the passengers from a given deck unload at different time intervals, the time intervals can also be on the identifying plate.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is the provision for an ID plate on the opposite side of the cruise coded plate in which the passenger's identification, address, telephone number, and cabin number can be placed on each tag.
A further object of the present invention is to provide such tags with adhesive securement which are not readily dislodged or torn loose such as string fasteners which can easily rip through the tag and the tag becomes separated from the luggage.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide a luggage tag which can be easily secured snugly to the handle with a tight wrap by merely pulling the mounting strap a bit longer.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an attractive uniform type of tag which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, inexpensive to store, and most importantly susceptible of storage in a minimum of space for a maximum number of the proposed tags.
All of the foregoing advantages are achieved in a tag which, when printed on paper board or of a material equivalent to that of string tags or other type tags, affords efficiencies of handling, identification, and manufacture which render the product significantly superior in durable usage, and supplied with an overall cost effectiveness not achieved by the prior art.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent taken in conjunction with the accompanying illustrative drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical piece of luggage having a handle, and a tag exemplary of the present invention applied to the handle;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the luggage tag shown in FIG. 1 illustrating how the strap is reversely folded, and the display plate readily in view; the handle of the luggage is shown in phantom lines;
FIG. 3 is a view of the reverse side of the luggage tag shown in FIG. 2 with the identification plate shown;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the illustrative luggage tag;
FIG. 5 is a single tag blank ready to have the adhesive shield removed and to insert itself through the luggage handle for securement;
FIG. 6 is a beginning view illustrating the method and the use of the tag showing the hand of the user removing a single blank from a blank board by grasping the end of the strap;
FIG. 7 is a sequential view from FIG. 6 showing how the adhesive shield is removed;
FIG. 8 is yet a further sequential view of the blank with the adhesive shield removed and ready to reversely fold the strap to insert the strap end in the strap slot;
FIG. 9 is yet a further sequential view following FIG. 8 and in end view showing how the strap is passed through the strap slot and moved toward the locking assembly for securement;
FIG. 10 is yet a further view illustrating how the folding tabs are passed over the strap tab end;
FIG. 11 is an end view in the opposite direction of FIG. 9 showing the folding tabs positioned in plate and securing the luggage tag to the luggage;
FIG. 12 shows a blank board illustrating four blanks for luggage tags; and
FIG. 13 is an optional nested blank board configuration in which alternating opposed straps are formed adjacent each other to thereby reduce waste on the removal of the blanks and reduce the volume occupied by the luggage tags while in storage.
The illustrative luggage tag 10 will be best understood by first noting its intended environment. In FIG. 1 a typical suitcase 1 is shown having a handle 2 to which the illustrative luggage tag 10 has been applied. Some other types of luggage have straps, or other extensions to which the illustrative luggage tag 10 can be applied.
Turning now to FIG. 5, it will be seen that the blank 15 intended for forming the illustrative luggage tag 10 has a display plate 16 at one end, a locking assembly 20 at an intermediate portion, and a strap 18 extending from the locking assembly 20 towards a strap tab end 26. Provision is made for a strap slot 19 which is scored so that it can be readily popped out of the display plate 16. An adhesive shield 21 is applied over the locking assembly 20 and covers the lock body 22 with an adhesive coat 23 over the entirety of the locking assembly 20 which includes the folding tabs 24. Strap stops 25 are provided towards the remote end of the strap 18 which strap terminates in the strap tab end 26.
Turning now to FIG. 2, where an assembled luggage tag 10 is shown, it will be seen that the strap 18 has been passed through the strap slot 19 and the folding tabs 24 adhesively secured to the adhesive coat 23 at the remote end tab 26 of the strap 18. The adhesive is on the underneath portion of the ears 24 as shown. The luggage handle 2 is shown in phantom lines.
FIG. 3 shows the reverse portion of an assembled luggage tag 10 where the strap 18 has again been passed through the strap slot 19, and the folding tabs 24 adhesively secured to the rear portion of the strap 18 at the strap tab end 26 (not shown). It is clear from FIG. 3 that the identification plate bears different indicia than the display plate portion 16 shown in FIG. 2.
As set forth in the Summary of the Invention, while the display plate 16 here is shown as an imaginary cruiser, numbered indicia identifying the deck, and varying colors identifying the different decks, or numbers indicating time intervals may be applied to the display plate 16. In addition, the reverse side is the identification plate 17 as shown in FIG. 3 where the name, address, telephone number, and cabin of the passenger is filled in by the passenger or the steward who is handling the luggage. Finally, FIG. 4 shows the side view of the finished luggage tag surrounding the handle 2 of the luggage suitcase 1.
Turning now to FIG. 6, it will be seen that the method of applying the tags begins with the blank board 30 which has four luggage tag blanks 15. They are removed sequentially by the fingers grasping the strap tab end 26 and removing the individual luggage tag blank 15 from the blank board 30. Thereafter, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 7, the adhesive shield 21 is removed from the locking assembly 20 exposing the adhesive coat 23. The tap end 26 is then rotated in the direction of the arrow as shown on FIG. 8 and passed through the slot 19 to go into the position as shown in FIG. 10. Thereafter, the adhesive under side of the tabs 24 are rotated over the strap tab end 26 as shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11.
While dimensions do not necessarily form a critical part of the present invention, they are helpful in illustrating proportions. For example, the typical panel shown in FIG. 12 has a width of seven and three quarter inches from the bottom of a panel to the end of the tab, and a length across the four panels of eight and one half inches. Each panel is approximately two and one eighth inches wide, and two and seven eighths inches high. The straps are approximately four and seven eighths inches long, the distance from the end of the tab to the lock stop being one and one half inch. Each tab is approximately three quarters of an inch wide, and the distance from ear end to ear end across the locking assembly is one and one half inches, by approximately five eighths inch thick. The locking slot is centered at a position of approximately two and three eighths inches from the bottom of the display and is approximately three quarters of an inch to thirteen sixteenths inches wide and the slot itself is a one-eighth inch slot.
When four tags are nested in a panel 30 such as shown in FIG. 12, the width of that panel 30 is approximately seven and three quarter inches wide. The length is eight and one half inches. Thus the total square inches utilizing the four tag panel is approximately 65.9 square inches which, divided by four, equals 16.5 square inches per tag. With the nested panel 35 of FIG. 13 which measures nine and one quarter inches times 11 and one half inches, the total number of square inches is approximately 106.4, which when divided by eight yields 13.3 square inches per tag. Thus the nested panel achieves a board saving of about 20%.
It will be understood that various changes in the details, materials and arrangements of parts which have been herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

"Cross your heart?"
"Cross my heart, hope to die, and end a life with just one lie."
When my light was snuffed out at a young age, I had grown accustomed to the darkness. The way that it covered the light for so long that I entirely forgot about it apart from my distant memories. It had taken care of me when I needed it most.
It had taken advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable point.
Of the one I hold dear.
Of all of us.
This . . . darkness. It goes by a name.
It calls itself Prometheus.
And we must heed it's call.
Or else Prometheus will take away the human life it so graciously allowed us to keep.
But they cannot lead me. Control me.
For even at the end of it all- I stubbornly control the fate of my precious life.

Home appliances, electronics, and even standard light bulbs heat up your house, so turn them on as little as possible. Run the washing machine only when you have a full load, and hang your wash on the line. Also, skip the dishwasher if it's not at capacity. Instead, wash dishes in the sink and let them air-dry. Steer clear of the oven and stovetop, and opt for the microwave or grill instead. Keep even more heat out of the house by dining alfresco and taking your laptop onto the patio.

The Americanist
University of Michigan Press, Dec 18, 2009 - History - 208 pages
" I have read all of Daniel Aaron' s books, and admired them, but in The Americanist I believe he has composed an intellectual and social memoir for which he will be remembered. His self-portrait is marked by personal tact and admirable restraint: he is and is not its subject. The Americanist is a vision of otherness: literary and academic friends and acquaintances, here and abroad. Eloquently phrased and free of nostalgia, it catches a lost world that yet engendered much of our own."
— Harold Bloom
" The Americanist is the absorbing intellectual autobiography of Daniel Aaron, who is the leading proponent and practitioner of American Studies. Written with grace and wit, it skillfully blends Daniel Aaron' s personal story with the history of the field he has done so much to create. This is a first-rate book by a first-rate scholar."
— David Herbert Donald, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
The Americanist is author and critic Daniel Aaron' s anthem to nearly a century of public and private life in America and abroad. Aaron, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of American Studies, graduated from the University of Michigan, received his Ph.D. from Harvard, and taught for over three decades each at Smith College and Harvard.
Aaron writes with unsentimental nostalgia about his childhood in Los Angeles and Chicago and his later academic career, which took him around the globe, often in the role of America' s accidental yet impartial critic. When Walt Whitman, whom Aaron frequently cites as a touchstone, wrote, " I am large, I contain multitudes," he could have been describing Daniel Aaron— the consummate erudite and Renaissance individual whose allegiance to the truth always outweighs mere partisan loyalty.
Not only should Aaron' s book stand as a resplendent and summative work from one of the finest thinkers of the last hundred years, it also succeeds on its own as a first-rate piece of literature, on a par with the writings of any of its subjects. The Americanist is a veritable Who' s Who of twentieth-century writers Aaron interviewed, interacted with, or otherwise encountered throughout his life: Ralph Ellison, Robert Frost, Lillian Hellman, Richard Hofstadter, Alfred Kazin, Sinclair Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, John Crowe Ransom, Upton Sinclair, Edmund Wilson, Leonard Woolf, and W. B. Yeats, to name only a few.
Aaron' s frank and personal observations of these literary lights make for lively reading. As well, scattered throughout The Americanist are illuminating portraits of American presidents living and passed— miniature masterworks of astute political observation that offer dazzlingly fresh approaches to well-trod subjects.

Curry-Roasted Butternut Squash and Chickpeas
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 375°. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with the chickpeas, olive oil, curry and cayenne and season with salt and pepper. Spread the squash cubes and chick peas on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast for 1 hour, or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir the yogurt with the cilantro and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the roasted butternut squash and chickpeas onto a platter and drizzle with 1/2 cup of the yogurt sauce. Serve the remaining yogurt sauce on the side.
The cilantro-yogurt sauce is also an excellent accompaniment to the Indian-Spiced Turkey Breast and the Fragrant Cauliflower in Tomato Sauce.

The results came in for the U.S. Presidential election. I was shocked and just wanted to be whisked away by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Not that I am a woman who needs "saving" – I just want him to hug me. The campaign went on for what felt like a decade and it all to come down to November 8. What would we find out about ourselves as a country?
We found out there is a lot of work to be done. I believe people voted against The Establishment more so than voting for Donald Trump himself. They are tired of both the Democrats and Republicans with all their money who have ignored the wants and needs of the majority of this country for many years.
The majority of this country does not make seven figures. They want the best futures for their children and college is expensive. Healthcare is expensive. People are tired of being ignored only to make way for the needs of the 1%. Can Donald J. Trump do anything about any of this? The Republicans retain house majority. How will all of this affect our futures? I wish I could have my answers before the end of this week. Yet, I know it doesn't work that way because none of life works that way.
All we can do is keep progressing for ourselves, our families, and our communities. This is our time! We can show the world the strength of the U.S. We persevere. This is not the end of anything. This is only the beginning. It is changing times and some people are afraid of anything that doesn't remind them of "when America was great" back in 1955. It wasn't so great for a lot of people in 1955 and we don't want to go back there. We should all be more interested in continuing to move forward. Don't look back – we aren't going there.
Let's all relax. Pray. Drink our coffee, wine, or beer. Collect our thoughts. There is work to do. Stay humble. Bring your smile and start pushing. Progress will not be halted. Our futures depend on it.
Peace and love.

Panda to begin rehab assignment Friday
ST. LOUIS -- David Price will have some familiar company when he starts for Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday at Buffalo. Pablo Sandoval will also be in the lineup in that game, serving as the designated hitter for the start of his Minor League rehab assignment.
Given the lack of production the Red Sox have had at third base this season, the fact Sandoval is ready to start playing in games again is a significant development.
Sandoval sprained his right knee fielding a grounder on April 23.
"I'm going to be in the DH spot the first couple of games. I want to see how the knee reacts," said Sandoval. "As soon as I feel better, I'll jump to third."
Sandoval is confident the injury is behind him and it's simply a matter of building back up at this point. The length of the rehab assignment is open ended.
"He's been down roughly four weeks now, so there's going to be some timing to regain at the plate," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Want to see the mobility and the range at third base. We don't have a date marked that he's returning to us but he needs to get some repetition."
Before the injury, Sandoval was slashing .213/.269/.377, though he at least flashed some power, belting three homers with 10 RBIs in 61 at-bats.
"I felt good when I was healthy, so that's one of the things that I'm looking forward to after last year," said Sandoval. "It's one of the things that I can handle. If I'm healthy, then I can play [the game] right."
The Red Sox got some more good news on the third-base front, as Brock Holt was cleared to return to Pawtucket's lineup on Wednesday. Holt has been shut down multiple times in his rehab assignment due to recurring symptoms of vertigo.
