Posing nude to appease her now ex-fiancé wasn't the most prudent idea Beatrice Weatherly has ever had. With the photographs scrutinized up and down the ton and her brother running the family into debt, Beatrice's hopes of making a respectable marriage are dashed.
After one glance at Beatrice's infamous racy cabinet cards, wealthy, powerful Edward Ellsworth Richie is soon obsessed with Beatrice's voluptuous figure. His indecent proposal - one month of hedonistic servitude in exchange for the money to pay her brother's debts - is one she can hardly refuse.
Determined not to let the rogue best her, Beatrice sets out for the infamous House of Madame Chamfleur to learn how to appease Edward's well-known appetite. Soon the couple is playing out exquisite fantasies...and feeling emotion that goes deeper than flesh. But Edward harbors a secret, and Beatrice must decide if she's prepared to give up everything for a man who can offer her nothing, but who means more than anything.

"Rookie Mistake"
Portia da Costa is such a lovely writer that I didn't sample the narration before I bought the book. Don't let this happen to you! Be ever vigilant, or live to rue the day...
"Not my favorite PdC, but still quite good"
I have loved Portia Da Costa's books for years. I tend to buy everything I can find of hers. I'm not usually a fan of historical romance, but bought this one just because of the author. I did enjoy this story very much, though I've enjoyed her contemporary stories much more.
Light and easy listening on this one.

94% of Facebook users hate new design
The recent Facebook facelift is no news to most; the site has undergone its second interface redesign in less than a year to make it more like Twitter which has made headway against Facebook because of its realtime updates.
The Facebook layout has changed significantly with one poll — of 800000 users — showing that 94% of them hate it. It seems though this number of users isn't enough to garner a response from Facebook.
Since the site launched over 175 million users have registered and out of that number 1.7 million are protesting of the site redesign joining the group âPetition against the New Facebookâ requesting that Facebook make smaller changes over a period of time to allow for easier transition.
The newest changes were conducted in an attempt to make the site more competitive with microblogging website Twitter which allows for the real time update of anyone who follows a users account.
The transition has been met with much criticism. Users feel that Facebook is not listening to their wants and needs. Such is the rebellion that a Firefox add-on has been created so that users can easily revert to the old layout.
Even though Facebook seems to have no intent to revert their changes the company has made a statement to the BBC regarding user upset:
"The new Facebook home page is one step in the continued evolution of the site designed to give people more ways to share and filter all types of content such as status updates photos videos notes and more. We are grateful to have 175 million people worldwide using Facebook to connect with the people and things they care about most and we take their feedback very seriously.
"We are listening carefully to what people are saying about the new home page through a variety of channels – including through a popular application built by outside developers on our platform that allows users to vote and express their opinion.
"Also helpful have been the many comments we're reading on industry blogs the Facebook company blog Mark Zuckerberg's public profile Facebook user groups and through the link on the Facebook new home page tutorial.
"We encourage people to send us constructive detailed feedback and are committed to using it to inform how we build and improve the site for everyone."Privately though Zuckerberg is rumoured to have emailed out a memo to employees saying that tech's most successful companies don't listen to their customers. Certainly Apple is living proof that companies that repeatedly ignore their customers' pleas can still be very financially successful.
Meanwhile even though you might not like the new Facebook this video from comedian Julian Smith of his tour of the Facebook headquarters should make you laugh.

Adobe has released CS 5.5, which brings Adobe's Photoshop Touch apps and SDK. What this means for Photoshop users is that you'll have new and exciting ways of using Photoshop via tablet devices, starting with iPad. The first apps announced are Eazel, Color Lava and Nav. Eazel is a finger painting app, Color Lava a color mixing app, and Nav puts Photoshop shortcuts at your fingertips via virtual buttons on your iPad. Apps will be priced between $1.99 and $4.99 and should make their way to the App Store shortly.
Adobe's first Photoshop Touch apps are pretty neat and showcase some of the possibilities and power of Adobe's Touch SDK. Eazel is a finger painting app that supports up to five fingers at a time and lets you get out all the finger painting you've been holding in since the age of seven. Color Lava is an interactive color palette allowing you to mix what amounts to virtual paint, again, with your fingers. It's basically a sophisticated color chooser, albeit much more hands on. And finally, Nav gives you quick access to Photoshop shortcuts by utilizing an iPad screen as a virtual button interface. All of these apps require you to be connected to the same network as a machine running the latest version of Photoshop.
These three apps are certainly a pretty cool starting point, but where developers take Adobe's SDK will inevitably be much more exciting. I, for one, can't wait to see what developers will do with this.

Gorgān, also spelled Gurgān, formerly Asterābad, city, capital of Golestān province, north-central Iran. It is situated along a small tributary of the Qareh River, 23 miles (37 km) from the Caspian Sea. The city, in existence since Achaemenian times, long suffered from inroads of the Turkmen tribes who occupied the plain north of the Qareh River and was subjected to incessant Qājār-Turkmen tribal conflicts in the 19th century. It was renamed Gorgān in the 1930s after being devastated by an earthquake. Articles of trade include cereals, soap, and carpets. In modern times the plain around Gorgān has become a flourishing granary. Pop. (2006) 274,438.

home school
it really bothers me cause I have friends that are against me teaching my granddaughter--they argue she can't have any friends HER age here (yet she does) AND they want me to have a certificate HELP!!!
Then go find a homeschool group to join for some supportive friends...
I agree. No one thought I should homeschool either. Not even my husband. Now both kids are in college on scholarships. So forget those that are offering you unsolicited advice.
Just stick to your guns, do the great job you know you can do, never let her or you doubt your abilities and you will reap the rewards of thier tails tucked between thier legs.
Can't live your life trying to please everyone! It will NEVER happen! The only thing you can do is what you feel is best for your child/grandchild. So like the other have said ignore them in fact I would tell them if they can't support you even by keeping their opinions to themselves then maybe they need to just stop coming by or calling you.
Never bothered me what others thought. I knew what we best for my children and did it. Try and ignore them or find new friends. If they were true friends they would encourage you.
but didn't he have to approve them being home schooled--my "former" son in law gave us a real hard time about it--our family was too stupid to teach--she divorced him!! now I'm teaching my granddaughter- he's still against itand spreading the word
In our state both parents have to sign and agree to homeschooling, but not all states have the same laws in that area.
So long as what you are doing is legal, don't worry about the nay sayers. For the record, I disagree with one parent having the ability to homeschool against the other parent's wishes - ASSUMING both parents are good, involved, loving parents.
Quoting cheybug547:
but didn't he have to approve them being home schooled--my "former" son in law gave us a real hard time about it--our family was too stupid to teach--she divorced him!! now I'm teaching my granddaughter- he's still against itand spreading the word
I am a Home Schooling, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Academic pushing Mom. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities and nosey, involved parents. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it raising my child. I believe that my "place" is in the home caring for my husband and children. My husband is head of our home and I *love* my life! (just getting the controversial stuff out of the way!) Aimee

(NECN: Eileen Curran, Plaistow, N.H.) - The couple charged in a severe case of child abuse that left a 3-year-old boy blind and critically injured faces a judge Monday morning.
Jessica Linscott, 23, and Roland Dow, 27, were captured and arrested in Orlando, Fla. - after nearly two weeks on the run from police.
The two were extradited back to the Granite State over the weekend.
Roland Dow is accused of severely beating and burning Linscott's 3-year-old son, James.
The little boy has had two brain surgeries and continues to recover from his injuries in the hospital.
Helen Fram says she doesn't believe the accusations against her grandson.
"He would never hurt any baby. He would never hurt anybody. He lives right next door, and I would hear anything going on," she said.
Linscott is facing six counts of child endangerment for failing to protect the child.
She and Roland Dow will be arraigned separately, and neither is expected in court. They will be arraigned via video from jail.

" Brand: Johnson's: Type: Cleansing Wipes / Subcategory: Wipes / Suitable for: Face / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses, "
I like to always ensure that I have a good stock of facial cleansing wipes, and this is for three reasons in particular. The main reason is that I wear make-up on a daily basis, and I like to make sure that it is all scrubbed off before I go to bed so that my skin is nice and clear the next morning. Another reason I often use facial cleansing wipes is to make my skin feel a little nicer, perhaps if I am feeling a little dirty and would like to freshen up, and the final reason is that they are convenient to use if like me, you are quite lazy when it comes to keeping up a skincare routine, as it does the jobs that many other products do, but using a wipe is just far simpler!
My favourite wipes have always been by Simple, but when you are paying up to £3.00 at a time with the rate I get through these, I definitely needed to look out for a cheaper alternative. When picking up a prescription from my local Lloyds Pharmacy, I grabbed these pure essentials facial cleansing wipes because I was meaning to get some more. I had never heard or seen these previously, but they looked legit and I thought I would try them out and see what results I would get.
The price was fantastic as the pack was only £1.00, which is great value compared to some other facial cleansing wipe packs which you pay for. For £1.00, you receive 25 wipes which works out at 4p a wipe, so you can't really complain! As far as I'm aware, the pure essentials range is by Lloyds Pharmacy, and this is the only stockist I have seen for these, so I would recommend trying out your local store if you are interested in these.
A big problem I face when it comes to skin care products is that my skin (particularly facial area) can be prone to getting blotchy and red when using certain products. My skin is particularly sensitive, therefore I purposely have to hunt around for things which contain kind to skin ingredients. These wipes are fantastic as they contain no artificial colours or fragrances, however they do contain vitamin E and aloe vera to help soothe the skin, therefore these wipes are going to be particularly effective for those who also suffer from sensitive skin.
The pack is simple enough to get into, and you just peel open the seal and grab a wipe. Sometimes you will find that more than one at a time come out, so be careful when pulling them out and be sure to be gentle, as the majority of the time I have to try and force one back into the pack! Watch out as I have found that the seal on the packet is not extremely sticky, therefore I would recommend laying your pack face down so that the moisture reaches the bottom, meaning that the first wipe you will use will still be moist, even if a little air has got into it.
The wipes themselves are fantastic. They do not have a strong scent, however they just smell fresh and clean which is what I like in a facial cleansing wipe. The texture of them is smooth, and this makes it easy to use when wiping across your face. It takes make up off as well as other wipes I have tried in the past, and within a minute or two I can remove a whole nights worth of make up if I have been out on the town! They are really simple and easy to use, and you will only need one make up wipe at a time if you are removing even the most stubborn of make up. One slight problem is that these are not fantastic around the eyes, and this is because it can sometimes make my eyes quite sore and watery if it comes directly into contact with them, therefore if you wear lots of eye make up, these probably are not the best thing when it comes to removing it. So they work fairly good at removing make up, although there is some room for improvement.
In terms of general facial cleansing, these wipes prove excellent. They are great for settling your skin down ready for the night, as well as being quite useful in the morning if you are half asleep, as it helps to awaken your skin and leave it looking much fresher. I have also found these handy to carry around in my bag, and they are great at cooling you down on hot and uncomfortable days.
Overall, I am very impressed with these wipes from Lloyds Pharmacy, and I will be sure to stock up on many more of them in the future, as they do an efficient job for a minuscule of the price which I am used to paying for facial cleansing wipes. A great hidden gem, which is worth being checked out by you all! Thanks for reading.

Bookham elected chairman of LifeFlight Foundation
Camden — At its January meeting, the LifeFlight Foundation Board of Trustees elected Daniel Bookham, a business insurance specialist and director of business development at Allen Insurance, to serve as chairman.
Bookham joined the board in 2012 and has provided guidance around issues relating to fundraising, communications and nonprofit management.
"Dan has been a strong asset to the LifeFlight Foundation since he agreed to come on board in 2012," said LifeFlight Executive Director Thomas Judge in a news release. "He has helped generate support for LifeFlight among his business community connections, and the Foundation staff has gained valuable insights from his media background and fundraising experience from numerous nonprofits in midcoast Maine."
Since joining the LifeFlight Board, Bookham has played an important role in developing the organization's strategic communications plan, and has been adept at creating opportunities for collaboration with business owners interested in helping LifeFlight. Bookham and his wife, Jessie, were integral to the success of the first annual Islesboro Crossing which raised nearly $25,000.
Previously, Bookham served as the executive director of the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce, and held several positions in the broadcasting industry. In the community, Bookham serves on the boards of the Penobscot Bay YMCA, United Mid Coast Charities, the Strand Theatre, and the Camden Windjammer Festival; and is a member of the PenBay Health Care Strategic Planning Committee and America's Edge, a nationwide organization advocating for investment in early childhood development and education. Bookham is a graduate of the University of North London and the Midcoast Leadership Academy.
Bookham resides in Rockland with his wife, daughter Scout, and their two dogs, making the most of all the cultural and outdoor activities the Midcoast has to offer.

Retailers' Video, Music Services Spin Wheels
Big retail chains keep trying to sell or rent music and movies online as sales of CDs and DVDs decline, but these ventures have done little to dent the market share of industry leaders Netflix Inc., NFLX -1.27% Apple Inc. AAPL -0.44% and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.47%
Movie Merchants
What 'Despicable Me' costs to rent or buy at the Web services of three chains and iTunes
Alphaline (Sears)
- $3.99 rental
- $19.95 purchase
CinemaNow (Best Buy)
- $3.99 rental
- $15.95 purchase
Vudu (Wal-Mart)
- $3.99 rental
- $14.99 purchase
iTunes (Apple)
- $3.99 rental
- $14.99 purchase
Sears Holdings Corp. SHLD -7.22% became the latest traditional retailer to get into streaming and downloads on Dec. 28, when it launched movie service Alphaline Entertainment. That followed Best Buy Co.'s BBY 0.98% launch last year of rental and purchase site CinemaNow and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s WMT -2.27% acquisition of streaming service Vudu last February for roughly $100 million.
The retailers say the ventures not only help them gain a foothold in the fast-growing digital entertainment business, but also give them an edge in selling Internet-connected televisions and movie players in their stores.
Many of the TVs that Best Buy sells now come with CinemaNow software, while many of Wal-Mart's are loaded with Vudu. The retailers also use free or discounted digital entertainment to lure customers to their websites, much as they have long done by selling certain movie and music discs at a loss to attract shoppers to their stores.
"As customers elect to get their entertainment in different forms, we feel it is important to provide them with the full array of options," said Karen Austin, Sears Holdings' president of consumer electronics.
Like Best Buy, Sears uses an online platform from Sonic Solutions of Novato, Calif., as the backbone of its movie service that it offers in its Sears and Kmart stores. "It's an opportunity to grab a bigger piece of a growing market," Ms. Austin said.
Yet like the music download services that Wal-Mart and other store chains have run for years, the movie services have attracted only minimal interest from mainstream consumers despite often aggressive pricing, industry analysts say. That contrasts with the rapid growth of Netflix , NFLX -1.27% which said Thursday it added 3.1 million subscribers over the holiday period as it reported a 52% jump in profit.
Figures on online movie market share are sketchy, but analysts say store chains command a paltry sliver—a far cry from retailers' once-dominant position in selling DVDs. That's similar to the retailers' success in selling music online.
Market researcher NPD Group Inc. estimates Apple's iTunes has 66% of the digital music download market, followed by 13% for Amazon's site. The only store-chain site in the top five is Best Buy's Napster, with a 1% share. NPD discloses only the top-five providers, which don't include Wal-Mart. The chain was the nation's largest seller of music of all kinds last decade.
NPD's music estimates don't include streaming services that allow customers to access a virtual jukebox of songs while they are online. This is a large part of the business at Napster, which Best Buy purchased in 2008 for $121 million.
But analysts estimate that Best Buy is an also-ran against streaming sites such as Rhapsody International Inc.'s service, despite charging just $5 a month for access to 11 million songs.
"I'm not sure why, because it is not a bad service, but Napster has failed to capture mind share," said Stephen Mader of retail consultancy Kantar Retail. "Retailers are playing in this space because it is fairly inexpensive for them, but they are strictly niche players in their current form."
None of the retailers disclose revenue or profitability of their Web-based services.
Chris Homeister, Best Buy's senior vice president of home entertainment, said the company is positioned to reap benefits from a fledgling industry standard called Ultraviolet under development by electronics makers and movie studios. It will allow buyers of a movie disc to access digital copies of the film on phones, laptops and other devices.
Edward Lichty, Vudu's general manager, said Wal-Mart recognizes it is "starting from a different place than Netflix and iTunes," but plans to make its presence felt with low-priced offers.
Wal-Mart has included $10 Vudu credits with its TVs and Blu-ray DVD players, allowing customers to sample the service free. It also has tried to help consumers ease into online entertainment by selling movie discs such as "Toy Story 3" that come bundled with codes that allow customers to access digital copies of the same movie online.
"Not only do we believe that segue is possible, but some of the things we have done serve as proof," Mr. Lichty said. "Wal-Mart bought Vudu to make an impact."
Vudu is converting consumers such as football sports agent Mook Williams, who prefers renting individual movies, priced as low as 99 cents, to paying higher monthly fees to access an unlimited supply of films via Netflix. But Mr. Williams, who was unaware the service is owned by Wal-Mart, said it was unlikely to draw him into shopping at the retailer.

"The Voice" is back on NBC, and vocal coach Blake Shelton is back on the show.
But the country superstar, whose latest album is "Red River Blue," has been knee-deep on his new tour, "Well Lit & Amplified," with supporting acts Dia Frampton of "The Voice" and Justin Moore.
But fans of the country superstar needn't worry.
The first several weeks of the second season of "The Voice," had already been taped, allowing Shelton to tour and return to "The Voice" in time for the live rounds.
"I've learned the hard way you can't tour and do live TV at the same time. That sucks bad," Shelton said.
"This year, I'm not touring when 'The Voice' starts airing live in the middle of March. Once we're live, we shut it down and concentrate on the show. We have to make my show and my team as strong as it can be."
But that isn't entirely true this weekend, when he will be performing at Stagecoach: California's Country Music Festival.
"The Voice" was a strong performer in its first season, a rare bright spot on NBC's prime-time schedule. Javier Colon was the winner of the inaugural season, which featured coaches Shelton, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine overseeing teams of contestants.
Frampton was part of Shelton's team.
"When it came up, she was the first name I threw up there, for her to be a part of this," Shelton says. "I pushed her over the edge of the cliff. I couldn't leave her out there for the wolves.
"Now that she's made a record, it was time to get her out there," says Shelton, who guests on her album.
Still, Shelton knows that many fans are waiting for him to tour with his wife, country star Miranda Lambert.
"That's definitely something we talk about," he says. "The trouble is, she and I are so unfocused on our future. It's hard for us to put a plan together. But I know in our hearts we'll do that. But it'll take discipline on both our parts. We have to do it at some point."
Shelton approached his tour from the perspective of a fan. He asked himself what he would want to see in concert ---- and the answer was everything.
"I want to hear every song the artist ever did," he says. "That's what I will try to do, have a packed set list. My career (is) going on 11 years now, so there's a lot of songs that've dropped out of the set list because I didn't have time to do them. I want to incorporate some of those songs back into the set, though they're not recent hits.
"They're still important to my overall catalog, and I love those moments when people in the audience are mouthing the words."
The songs will be accompanied by what he says is his biggest production ever.
"It's 10 times bigger, but it's still not too big," Shelton says. "I'm mainly, in my own small way, stepping into the big leagues, and I'm coming armed with cool stuff that'll be fun to watch without distracting from the music."
Fans certainly don't want to be distracted from "She Wouldn't Be Gone," "I'll Just Hold On," "Nobody But Me," "Home," "The Baby" and "Some Beach," or songs from his new "Red River Blue" album such as "God Gave Me You" and "Honey Bee."
Shelton says there's nothing about "Red River Blue" that's particularly artsy or that sounds important.
"I love all kinds of music, whether it's making you laugh or cry, and I want to do all of that," he says. "That's what I thought about when I was making this record, making songs about drinking my face off or picking up a girl at a bar. That's how I approached it, and it works. I'm not saying it always will, but it did this time.
"People take themselves too seriously. This isn't brain surgery."

Danario Alexander doesn't know where his comeback will happen.
His focus now is making sure it does.
The Chargers wide receiver is rehabbing a torn anterior cruciate ligament, suffered Aug. 6 in practice. The ACL tear to his right knee came during a contract year after having undergone five various operations to his left in recent years.
Alexander erased any doubt about his intentions to return from the latest knee operation.
He had reconstructive surgery on Aug. 15.
"I'm out here doing my rehab to get back," Alexander said last month. "I'm just focused on taking it one day at a time. I feel better every day about it and am making sure I do the right things in therapy to get back to where I want to be. We'll see what happens from there when I get back."
In April, Alexander signed a one-year, $1.323 million tender as a restricted free agent. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next March.
The 25-year-old caught 37 passes for 658 yards and seven touchdowns last season in the final nine games.
His future with the franchise is uncertain.
"I feel like I showed a lot throughout camp, OTAs and especially last season to make the Chargers want to bring me back," Alexander said. "You never know what's going to happen. … We'll see what the market shows. I'm pretty sure I'll have to prove myself again for one year. I'm ready for it."

In November 2010, I spent 2 weeks travelling around Singapore and Malaysia. As this was my first visit to Southeast Asia, my camera and my trigger finger became well acquainted as I sought to capture the area's beauty and diversity on film.
|First impressions: Singapore
My first glimpse of Singapore lived up to the stereotypical image of a high-rise financial paradise. This vista of the Central Business District, Singapore's financial core, shows the city's modern, commercial side, with a tourist boat hinting at another source of revenue for the island state.
|Another side of the island: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
And here's an image I didn't expect to see: monkeys roaming free in the rainforest at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Singapore certainly isn't all skyscrapers are shopping malls; protected pockets such as Bukit Timah and the MacRitchie Reservoir offer oases of escape from city life. The 7am wake-up call may have been a struggle on a Saturday morning, but arriving early meant that we were able to beat the worst of the heat. The nature reserve offers a number of signposted trails, suitable even for the unfit (well, if C and I could do it...), but we found the smaller ones which cut through the rainforest itself, rather than following a concreted path, to be the best, as they were less choked with human traffic and gave us a closer glimpse of nature. A bit too close for some though: one Singaporean couple had to fend off a monkey attack with their hiking stick, but C and I had no such trouble with our simian friends.
|The very picture of tranquility, pre-attack
|Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Singapore
Religiously diverse Singapore is speckled with Buddhist and Hindu temples, mosques and even the odd church, making for a varied landscape. In the heart of Chinatown, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple opened in 2008 and has almost as many features as one of the island's beloved malls: the aforementioned tooth said to belong to Buddha, encased in gold-and-glass splendour, prayer spaces aplenty, a museum, a tea room, a roof terrace and even an underground car park. What more could a worshipper want?
|The Singapore Flyer at sunset
Whether it will live up to its marketing team's hype of becoming 'Asia's premier tourist attraction' remains to be seen, but as the world's largest observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer certainly gives an unrivalled view over the city and out to sea.
|Jonker Walk, Melaka
With its Portuguese, Dutch and British heritage, Melaka is culturally diverse even by Malaysian standards. A relaxed riverside town in the south of the country, it comes to life at the weekends when the Jonker Walk Night Market hits town.
|Chinatown, Melaka
|Trishaw ride, Melaka
It may be as tacky as a night out in Blackpool, but a ride on a trishaw is a quintessential Melaka experience and a surprisingly good way to get up close to the sights - if you can stomach the embarrassment of your parade through the streets being accompanied by Shaggy's Greatest Hits booming on the trishaw's sound system. Unique to Melaka, these cycle rickshaws are decked out as garishly as possible, featuring fairy lights, tinsel, fake flowers and even Barbie dolls. Mock it or embrace it and let someone else do the leg work while you tour the town; it's your choice.
|Petronas Towers, KL
As KL's most distinctive landmark, the twin Petronas Towers feature highly on most visitors' itineraries. But the best view of these 451.9 metre high beauties sometimes comes when you least expect it. Up close, trying to see the spires topping the towers gives you a definite crick in the neck, but when wandering around the city, sudden glimpses of the skyline-dominating skyscrapers suddenly appear around corners, like this view from Little India.
|Getting a henna tattoo, Little India
Searching for a fitting souvenir from my trip on the last day, I decided on a henna tattoo drawn by this artist in Little India. For the equivalent of £1, I gave her free rein to draw 'something small' on my left arm. Twenty minutes later, my hand and arm were transformed by the addition of an intricate pattern of swirling leaves and flowers. I almost wished it was permanent, although I'm sure my dad will be glad it wasn't...

You can create an app that accesses information in Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, SQL Server, and several other sources that store data in records and tables. To work most effectively with this kind of data, review the concepts that underlie these structures.
In your app, you'll use formulas to create, update, and manipulate records and tables. You'll probably read and write data to an external data source, which is an extended table. In addition, you might create one or more internal tables, which are called collections.
You can build a variety of formulas that take the name of a table as an argument, just as a formula in Excel takes one or more cell references as arguments. Some formulas in PowerApps return a table that reflects the other arguments that you specify. For example, you might create a formula:
Each record contains at least one category of information for a person, a place, or a thing. The example above shows a record for each product (Chocolate, Bread, and Water) and a column for each category of information (Price, Quantity on Hand, and Quantity on Order).
In a formula, you can refer to a record by itself, outside of a table's context, by using curly braces. For example, this record { Name: "Strawberries", Price: 7.99 } isn't associated with a table.
A field is an individual piece of information in a record. You can visualize this sort of field as a value in a column for a particular record.
Just as with a control, you refer to a field of a record by using the . operator on the record. For example, First(Products).Name returns the Name field for the first record in the Products table.
A field can contain another record or table, as the example for the GroupBy function shows. You can nest as many levels of records and tables as you want.
A column refers to the same field for one or more records in a table. In the above example, each product has a price field, and that price is in the same column for all products. The above table has four columns, shown horizontally across the top:
The column's name reflects the fields in that column.
All values within a column are of the same data type. In the above example, the "Quantity on Hand" column always contains a number and can't contain a string, such as "12 units," for one record. The value of any field may also be blank.
You may have referred to columns as "fields" in other tools.
Note: For SharePoint and Excel data sources that contain column names with spaces, PowerApps will replace the spaces with "_x0020_". For example, "Column Name" in SharePoint or Excel will appear as "Column_x0020_Name" in PowerApps when displayed in the data layout or used in a formula.
A table comprises one or more records, each with multiple fields that have consistent names across the records.
Any table that's stored in a data source or a collection has a name, which you use to refer to the table and pass it to functions that take tables as arguments. Tables can also be the result of a function or a formula.
As in the following example, you can express a table in a formula by using the Table function with a set of records, which you express in curly braces:
Table( { Value: "Strawberry" }, { Value: "Vanilla" } )
You can also define a single-column table with square brackets. An equivalent way to write the above:
[ "Strawberry", "Vanilla" ]
In Excel and PowerApps, you use formulas to manipulate numbers and strings of text in similar ways:
In both cases, the calculated value changes automatically if you change the values of the arguments (for example, the number in cell A1 or the value of Slider1).
Similarly, you can use formulas to access and manipulate data in tables and records. You can use names of tables as arguments in some formulas, such as Min(Catalog, Price) to show the lowest value in the Price column of the Catalog table. Other formulas provide whole tables as return values, such as RenameColumns(Catalog, "Price", "Cost"), which returns all the records from the Catalog table but changes the name of the Price column to Cost.
Just as with numbers, formulas that involve tables and records are automatically recalculated as the underlying table or record changes. If the cost of a product in the Catalog table is lowered below the previous minimum, the return value of the Min formula will automatically change to match it.
Let's walk through some simple examples.
Add a Text gallery control, and set its Items property to the name of a table.
By default, the gallery shows placeholder text from a table named TextualGallerySample. The Items property of the gallery is automatically set to that table.
Note: Some controls have been rearranged and enlarged for illustration purposes.
Instead of setting the Items property to the name of a table, set it to a formula that includes the name of the table as an argument, as in this example:
Sort(TextualGallerySample, Heading, Descending)
This formula incorporates the Sort function, which takes the name of a table as its first argument and the name of a column in that table as its second argument. The function also supports an optional third argument, which stipulates that you want to sort the data in descending order.
Set the Items property to a formula that takes the formula from the previous step as an argument and returns a table, as in this example:
FirstN(Sort(TextualGallerySample, Heading, Descending), 2)
In this formula, you use the FirstN function to show a particular number of records in a table. You use the Sort function as the first argument to FirstN and a number (in this case, 2) as the second argument, which specifies how many records to show.
The entire formula returns a table that contains the first two records of the TextualGallerySample table, sorted by the Heading column in descending order.
Many functions in PowerApps take the name of a table as an argument, create a second table that contains the same data, manipulate the new table based the other arguments, and then return the result. These functions don't modify the original table, even if it's a data source.
You can run a function on a table that contains multiple columns, even if the function requires a single column as an argument. To extract a single column from a multi-column table, use the ShowColumns function as an argument for the function that you want to use, as in this example:
Lower( ShowColumns( Products, "Name" ) )
This formula creates a single-column table that contains all the data from the Name column of the Products table but converts any uppercase letters to lowercase letters. If you specify a table as an argument for the AddColumns, RenameColumns, or DropColumns function, you can completely reshape that table however you want.
If you specify a data source as an argument for one of these functions, it will modify the records of that data source and, in general, return the data source's new value as a table.
The following controls have properties that are tables:
You can also build a formula that calculates data for an individual record, takes an individual record as an argument, and provides an individual record as a return value. Returning to our gallery example above, let's use the Gallery1.Selected property to display information from whatever record the user selects in that gallery.
This formula returns a record that includes not only the data from the record that's currently selected in the gallery but also each control in that gallery. For example, the record contains both a Body column, which matches the Body column in the original table, and a Body1 column, which represents the label that shows the data from that column. Select the table icon in the Body1 column to drill into that data.
Now that you have the selected record, you can extract individual fields from it with the . operator.
Press Esc to return to the default workspace, and then add a label below the gallery.
Set the Text property of the label to this formula:
You've taken the Selected property, which is a record, and extracted the Heading property from it.
You can also use a record as a general-purpose container for related named values.
In these cases, the record was never a part of a table.
Functions that return records:
Properties that return records:
Some functions operate by evaluating a formula across all the records of a table individually. The formula's result is used in various ways:
Inside these formulas, you can reference the fields of the record being processed. Each of these functions creates a "record scope" in which the formula is evaluated, where the fields of the record are available as top-level identifiers. You can also reference control properties and other values from throughout your app.
For example, take a table of Products:
To determine if any of any of these products had more requested than is available:
Filter( Products, 'Quantity Requested' > 'Quantity Available' )
The first argument to Filter is the table of records to operate on, and the second argument is a formula. Filter creates a record scope for evaluating this formula in which the fields of each record are available, in this case Product, Quantity Requested, and Quantity Available. The result of the comparison determines if each record should be included in the result of the function:
Adding to this example, we can calculate how much of each product to order:
AddColumns( Filter( Products, 'Quantity Requested' > 'Quantity Available' ), "Quantity To Order", 'Quantity Requested' - 'Quantity Available' )
Here we are adding a calculated column to the result. AddColumns has its own record scope that it uses to calculate the difference between what has been requested and what is available.
Finally, we can reduce the result table to just the columns that we desire:
ShowColumns( AddColumns( Filter( Products, 'Quantity Requested' > 'Quantity Available' ), "Quantity To Order", 'Quantity Requested' - 'Quantity Available' ), "Product", "Quantity To Order" )
Note that in the above, we used double quotes (") in some places and single quotes (') in other places. Single quotes are required when referencing the value of an object, such as a field or table, in which the name of the object contains a space. Double quotes are used when we are not referencing the value of an object but instead talking about it, especially in situations in which the object does not yet exist, as in the case of AddColumns.
Field names added with the record scope override the same names from elsewhere in the app. When this happens, you can still access values from outside the record scope with the @ disambiguation operator:
If the table being operated upon is an expression, such as Filter( table, ... ), then the disambiguation operator cannot be used. Only the innermost record scope can access fields from this table expression, by not using the disambiguation operator.
For example, imagine having a collection X:
You can create this collection with ClearCollect( X, [1, 2] ).
And another collection Y:
You can create this collection with ClearCollect( Y, ["A", "B"] ).
In addition, define a context variable named Value with this formula: UpdateContext( {Value: "!"} )
Let's put it all together. In this context, the following formula:
produces this table:
What is going on here? The outermost ForAll function defines a record scope for X, allowing access to the Value field of each record as it is processed. It can be accessed by simply using the word Value or by using X[@Value].
The innermost ForAll function defines another record scope for Y. Since this table also has a Value field defined, using Value here refers to the field in Y's record and no longer the one from X. Here, to access X's Value field, we must use the longer version with the disambiguation operator.
Since Y is the innermost record scope, accessing fields of this table do not require disambiguation, allowing us to use this formula with the same result:
All the ForAll record scopes override the global scope. The Value context variable we defined is not available by name without the disambiguation operator. To access this value we must use [@Value].
Ungroup flattens the result, since nested ForAll functions will result in a nested result table.
You express records by using curly braces that contain named field values. For example, you can express the first record in the table at the start of this topic by using this formula:
{ Name: "Chocolate", Price: 3.95, 'Quantity on Hand': 12, 'Quantity on Order': 10 }
You can also embed formulas within other formulas, as this example shows:
{ Name: First(Products).Name, Price: First(Products).Price * 1.095 }
You can nest records by nesting curly braces, as this example shows:
{ 'Quantity': { 'OnHand': ThisItem.QuantOnHand, 'OnOrder': ThisItem.QuantOnOrder } }
Enclose each column name that contains a special character, such as a space or a colon, in single quotes. To use a single quote within a column name, double it.
Note that the value in the Price column doesn't include a currency symbol, such as a dollar sign. That formatting will be applied when the value is displayed.
You can create a table by using the Table function and a set of records. You can express the table at the start of this topic by using this formula:
Table( { Name: "Chocolate", Price: 3.95, 'Quantity on Hand': 12, 'Quantity on Order': 10 },
{ Name: "Bread", Price: 4.95, 'Quantity on Hand': 34, 'Quantity on Order': 0 },
{ Name: "Water", Price: 4.95, 'Quantity on Hand': 10, 'Quantity on Order': 0 } )
You can also nest tables:
Table( { Name: "Chocolate",
'Quantity History': Table( { Quarter: "Q1", OnHand: 10, OnOrder: 10 },

Great spots to view the Golden Gate Bridge
Originally completed on May 27, 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge, named for the strait leading from the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay, is one of the city's most popular and most photographed landmarks.
Spanning 6,450 feet, the single-span suspension bridge will mark its 75th anniversary this year with a public celebration to be held May 27, 2012 along the waterfront between Pier 39 to the foot of the bridge at Fort Point.
Visitors and locals can enjoy dramatic views of the bridge from several points throughout the city. Viewing spots listed below are all free and open to the public. Note for out-of-towners: San Francisco can be very windy, particularly in the summer. Remember to wear layers, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Crissy Field
Crissy Field, a former military airfield located south of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Presidio, was restored in 2001 and offers wide, fully-accessible walking and cycling trails between the Marina Green and Fort Point. Offering stunning views of the bridge, Crissy Field offers picnic areas and a small beachfront popular among families. Along Crissy Field, visitors can stop for lunch at the Warming Hut near Fort Point, the Beach Hut Cafe near the Marina Green, or check out the House of Air, a trampoline center in one of the repurposed buildings. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 2.4 miles from the Marina Green
Fort Point
For an up-close view of the bridge, visit Fort Point, a Civil War-era brick fort accessible via the Marine Drive lot at Crissy Field. Although Fort Point never had any military action, the Golden Gate Bridge's chief engineer Joseph Strauss redesigned the bridge to preserve the fortress as a "fine example of the mason's art." Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 1.2 miles
Baker Beach
Stretching a half mile below the rugged cliffs along the Presidio's western shoreline, Baker Beach offers spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Accessible by public transportation (Muni 29-line), the beach offers a picnic area with tables and grills, lots of parking and restroom facilities. Note: the northernmost end of Baker Beach is frequented by clothing-optional sunbathers. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 1.2 miles
China Beach
Located in the Seacliff neighborhood, China Beach is a tiny, sheltered pocket of sand with a picnic area, a sunbathing deck, restrooms, cold showers and unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Note: the beach is only accessible by a steep, paved drive or natural stairway of approximately 100 steps.
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 2.0 miles
Lands End
The Eagle's Point trailhead of Lands End near Lincoln Park offers jaw-dropping views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Near the popular hiking trail, which is also a short walking distance to the Legion of Honor, visitors can walk along a paved sidewalk near the 17th hole of the Lincoln Park Municipal Golf Course. Here, there are several benches and photo opportunities to reflect and capture the beauty of the bridge. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 3.0 miles
Glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge
For slightly obstructed, but nonetheless dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, visitors can enjoy views from several, unexpected vantage points.
Lover's Lane, the Presidio
As the oldest foot trail in the Presidio, Lover's Lane ,a half-mile, pedestrian friendly, paved trail, begins at the Presidio Gate at the corner of Presidio and Pacific Avenues in Presidio Heights. As you stroll down the trail, protected by majestic eucalyptus groves, you'll get a Hollywood-esque glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge which will eventually disappear as you continue down the trail toward the Presidio's Main Post. Map
Distance from the Golden Gate Bridge: 2.2 miles
De Young Museum, Golden Gate Park
Located in the east end of Golden Gate Park, the Hamon Education Tower Observation Deck at the de Young Museum offers dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as spectacular panoramic views of the city and Pacific Ocean. Touring the museum requires admission, but visiting the observation deck, open daily until 4:30 p.m., is free and open to the public. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 2.9 miles
Library at the University California, San Francisco – Inner Sunset
Keep quiet here. Located at 530 Parnassus Avenue in the Inner Sunset, the library at the University of California, San Francisco, offers stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge from its main reading room. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 4.1 miles
Coit Tower, Telegraph Hill
Coit Tower, a slender white concrete column rising from the top of Telegraph Hill, provides 360-degree views of the city and bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge. The most-spectacular views can be seen from the observation deck, which is reached by elevator and requires tickets ($7). Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 4.9 miles
Golden Gate Bridge through the Waldo Tunnel
As San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge are hidden from the northern approach of U.S. Route 101 by the Marin Headlands, drivers going through the Waldo tunnel, the unofficial name of the tunnel on U.S. Route 101 between the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, can enjoy the first view of the city and the bridge upon exiting the tunnel's southbound bore. This view may be one of the most dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Map
Distance from Golden Gate Bridge: 3.1 miles
Suite Tributes to the Golden Gate Bridge
To celebrate the Golden Gate Bridge's history with San Francisco, hotels throughout the city have created specialty suites for visitors to immerse themselves in the Bridge's history.
To honor the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary, Kimpton's Hotel Palomar San Francisco has created a "Golden Gate Suite," which includes several tributes to the orange icon, including furniture made out of reclaimed steel from the bridge. Located on the fifth floor of the hotel, the festive suite features blown-up photos of the Golden Gate Bridge's tollboth covering the doors and walls outside the suite; a printed opaque decal of the Golden Gate Bridge that expands across the five bay windows inside the suite; a headboard painted in a street-art style to capture the grandeur of the bridge; a lampshade made with historic photos from 1937, the year the bridge was being built; decorative pillows created with vintage photographs of the bridge from the 1930s; and nightstands and a coffee table created with reclaimed Golden Gate Bridge steel. Guests staying in the Golden Gate Suite will also be treated to a complimentary Golden Gate cocktail from Fifth Floor Restaurant, the restaurant at Hotel Palomar San Francisco. The cocktail, called Vermillion M.E.S., gets its name from the Orange Vermillion color painted over the steel, chosen by architect Irving Morrow. The suite will be available through the end of 2012.
Located atop Nob Hill, the Fairmont San Francisco, one of a handful of hotels that offers rooms with Golden Gate Bridge Views, is celebrating one of its most iconic guests, Grammy-award winning singer Tony Bennett, with a special suite dedicated to him and his unique place in the hotel's storied history. Located in the hotel's Tower Building, the "Tony Bennett Suite at The Fairmont San Francisco" is set to open May 24, 2012 to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. The two-bedroom suite pays homage to Bennett, who in December 1961 took the stage of the Fairmont San Francisco's Venetian Room and performed "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" for the first time. Guests of the suite will be treated with personal photos and memorabilia from Bennett, as well as an original painting of the Golden Gate Bridge, which he created specifically for the suite. In addition to his musical career, Bennett is also a noted visual artist. For Bennett fans, the hotel will also have a limited number of giclée prints of the Bennett painting of the Golden Gate Bridge for purchase. And as a special perk, guests of the suite will receive a copy of Bennett's "Duets II" CD, which they may enjoy along with a bottle of champagne and heart-shaped dessert amenity.
Party like it's 1937 at the Clift hotel for a 1930's inspired weekend, May 25-27. Celebrations will include live music, DJ's, 1930's themed cocktails, and projection screens featuring films from the 1930's. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in era-inspired clothing.
Across the Bay in Sausalito, Cavallo Point Lodge will be honoring the Golden Gate Bridge with weekend festivities to celebrate the bridge's 75th anniversary, as well as an art exhibit that will run through the end of June 2012.
To kickoff the weekend celebration, the luxury resort-spa will host a Golden Gate gala dinner on Saturday, May 26, 2012. Prepared by two award-winning chefs, Chef Justin Everett of Murray Circle and Chef Craig von Foerster of Sierra Mar, the dinner will feature a champagne reception followed by a six-course menu with wine pairings. On Sunday, May 27, 2012, the lodge will host a Terrace Party from 6-10 p.m. that will include a gourmet barbecue buffet, live music and stunning views of the fireworks display over the Bay. (Tickets are $75 per adult and $25 per child). Through June 30, 2012 the lodge will be hosting "Visions of the Golden Gate at 75," an exhibit linking the iconic span's past and present. The show will feature rare, black-and-white photographs of the bridge during the construction era taken by land surveyor and photographer W. Gordon Voorhies as well as contemporary interpretations by Bay Area photographers Robert Campbell, Emil Flock and Chris Honeysett.

Following yesterday's coverage of Lora Leigh's SEALs series by PFC Dolly Sickles, we've got more hot Leigh heroes to share with you today.
I'm not really sure when I personally developed the affinity for uniformed men, but I think the first time I noticed it, I was looking back over my dating life with some girlfriends and a bottle of wine. In my stupor, I realized that I had dated in consecutive order, a sheriff, a policeman, a fire fighter (whoa, he was the hottest by far), and finally a postal worker. With the demise of those relationships, I resolved that perhaps the best uniformed men for me could be found in the pages of a book.
While I didn't exactly end up with the Marine of my dreams, I have managed to identify some supplemental versions (not Marines, and completely de-uniformed) in the smoking hot team members of Lora Leigh's Elite Ops series. iSwoon as iType. These guys are fan-freaking-tastic and have spent more than a few nights with me.
The series centers on a team of operatives (Elites at that) who have no identity and have signed off on the lives that they formerly knew for the sake of their team. This team of previous Navy SEALs under the command of Captain Jordan Malone are hardcore Alpha males.
In Wild Card, the first book of the series, we meet Noah Blake, formerly Nathan Malone. He is pure, galvanized steel, a wounded warrior that will stop at nothing to secure his target, to protect his family and to ensure that Belle Malone, the wife that he left behind in efforts to protect her, is safe. There are a few issues with his pursuit, however; for one, he is presumed dead by everyone in his home town, which includes his grieving widow and his villainous father. Further, he has to battle his chemically induced sexual addiction/illness that he suffers from due to a synthetic drug that was pumped into him during his capture by a maniacal villain. We see the potential conflict to his assumed identity the minute he steps into town and back into the life of Belle.
The best thing about Noah is his complete and utter loyalty to his wife. I was smitten with that alone (it doesn't hurt either that he's drop dead gorgeous with "wild Irish eyes"). Leigh allows the reader to see him peeled like an onion over the course of the book.
Maverick introduces Micah Sloane. I have never wanted to move to Israel so badly as when I was introduced to this absolute brute of a man, a gentle and charismatic lover at heart. Born David Abijah, with a deep-seated hatred of heroine Risa's capturer and victimizer, Micah jumps at the mission, hoping to apprehend the madman whom he blames for his torrid familial past, and for harming the women that he secretly longs for.
Several qualities combine to make Micah a favorite of all the men of Elite Ops: His inability to maintain his cover with the woman that he loves is ridiculously romantic. Risa, the girl whom he vows to protect, is an emotional wreck. Micah carefully cultivates a relationship with her, a woman who is described as having a hidden beauty, a light that only he can see which in turn makes others see her radiance. His love for her, and his stealthy defense of her life are believable traits and I personally adore that he cannot hide a thing from her, as naïve and vulnerable as she is.
The third book in the series, Heat Seeker, threw me for a loop. I had been exceptionally preoccupied with the men (and who wouldn't be??) and the intrigue with the first two books, so I didn't expect to connect with the heroine the way that I did here. But Bailey Serborne was refreshing, a real pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps girl who would have been fine if left to her own devices, or at least I suspect she would have been (she was similar to Belle, but a lot stronger in my opinion).
John Vincent, or Trent Daylen as the obituary said, had locked onto Bailey in his former life—literally. The pair had an unforgettable night and she had never truly let him free from her heart, even in his (supposed) death. And he's Australian, y'all! When the mission brings the two together again, sparks fly and there is no shortage of danger either. One of the unexpected twists of this story was the potential consequences of the dead men coming back to life, so to speak.
As readers of Leigh are already aware, there are some pretty fiery scenes that make your toes curl and your cheeks blush when your boss walks in and catches you reading it. I throw that disclaimer out there to all those that may prefer a milder version of sensuality. The entire series is phenomenal and if sexy, ex-SEAL guys are your thang, this is the series for you.
