Freshmen Impact Player #5: Aaron Jackson
Follow @SeanWKURivals
Sign-up for InsideHilltopperSports.com Wireless Text Alerts sent right to your cell phone!
Aside from Willie McNeal, it's hard to pinpoint a wide receiver that really stands out and could be considered a playmaker on the Hilltoppers roster. Sure, talent is visible with Austin Aikens and Rico Brown, but with Petrino expected to expand the offense and spread talent out - he will need to rely heavily on the incoming freshmen receiving corps.
One of those new faces expected to make an immediate impact is Franfort (Ky.) wide receiver Aaron Jackson, who's combination of size and speed will make him a viable weapon in the spread offense where receivers will be expected to make plays after the catch.
Speaking of making plays, the 6-foot-3, 185-pound speedster snagged 60 receptions for 1,513 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. What's even more impressive about those numbers is that he averaged 25.2 yards per catch - using his size, speed, and leaping ability to develop into an ultimate deep-threat.
Jackson also has an astounding track and field background, having competed in the 100 and 400 meters, as well as the long jump.
Last season, the Hilltoppers ran the West Coast offense that featured a heavy dose of running backs, short passes to tight ends, and emphasizing time of possession. Check this out: former WKU tight end Jack Doyle led the team in receptions with 53 and running back Antonio Andrews had 37 grabs. On the flip side: there was a huge gap in receptions by wide receivers - Willie McNeal led the way with 43, but the next receiver on the stats list was Rico Brown, who only hauled in 13 passes last season.
Expect those receiving stats to look significantly different this season as the receivers will be featured, emphasized, and showcased in the Petrino-style offense. While Willie McNeal will lead the way, expect Aaron Jackson to blossom into a significant playmaker.

Four things to consider when writing and marketing your eBook
Yvonne Wu gives you four essentials to consider before you write and market your eBook to make it as successful as possible.
Current trends in the world market have opened doors for authors of self-published books, thanks to the use of ebook readers used on smart phones, tablets, ipads, ipods and iphones. During Apple's WWDC 2011 keynote presentation, Apple announced that they had sold more than 25 million ipads in the past 14 months. This gives Ebooks a wide and growing line of distribution. Listed below are four essentials for eBook Success.
Decide what is your ebook's purpose. Are you creating this ebook to create a viral marketing opportunity? If so, you want this ebook to be shared with as many individuals as possible because it has your website and contact information. You may decide to offer this book as a free download or at a bargain price to increase online exposure. Your ebook can be offered as a free download on your site when individuals sign up to your ezine. You may also wish to offer your book at such high traffic places as iTunes ibook store, Amazon, Smashwords, Lulu and eBay. The more places the better. This will increase traffic to your website and result in more exposure to your service offering.
Know your book's message. What is your book about? Determine the core message of your book. There are usually 1 - 3 major points. Once your core message is determined, you can write content that will focus on convincing the reader the importance of your message. Your core message will be used over and over again in your advertising of your book.
Decide who your target audience is. Before you create your eBook put together a marketing plan. Your marketing plan will provide you with an opportunity to consider the strategy you will take to get your book to your target audience. The advantage of putting together your marketing plan before you write your ebook is that you can develop content that meets the needs of your specific audience. Knowing who your competition is will help you position your book so that you can make it special to your readers.
Buy the right computer programs and format your ebook for easy distribution. Some online bookstores will accept your book in doc (Microsoft Word) format or ePub (iWorks) format. Download the Smashwords Style Guide to help you with formatting your ebook. This guide is particularly handy when publishing your book on Smashwords, Lulu and Kindle.

These masters have made their mark on the restaurant scene, and now they'll teach you the tricks of the trade.
City Fish MarketDESCRIPTION - (D)
From gracious service to a wide selection of expertly-prepared fresh seafood, City Fish Market is a relaxing retreat. The blue and white décor creates a soothing environment reflecting the beautiful, sparkling lake that the restaurant sits on.

Each dish served is composed of contrasting flavors and textures highlighting a single component, whether it be a protein or a vegetable.
Their menu and "Renegade" format allows diners to experience multiple flavors in a new and unique way, that only the Rebel House can provide.
The Capital GrilleDESCRIPTION - (D) The Capital Grille, nationally known for its dry-aged, hand-cut beef and extensive, award-winning wine list, is routinely recognized by Wine Spectator magazine, and most recently received the "Award of Excellence" in Fine Dining from the American Culinary Federation.

One tomato, two tomato
Minneapolis is looking an awful lot like Seattle this year. We've had 17 days of sun since April 1st. The rest of the days have been cloudy or rainy, heavy on the rain. My rhubarb could not be happier. The leaves are gigantic, the stalks, prolific. My rhubarb is tucked into the corner of my yard, surrounded by day lilies and hostas. It looks down right prehistoric in all it's giant-leafedness. To bad I had to hack it down in the name of preservation.
"What exactly is rhubarb?" asked my young daughter at breakfast. "It's a vegetable with big leaves and red stalks, and it's very sour. But only eat the stalks. You use it like fruit and cook it with sugar for dessert," I said. She gave me that "no way I'm eating that" look. "Mom, you should call it 'Rhubarbarian' not rhubarb. Like a Barbarian." Clearly this was her opinion of eating rhubarb. But the name was fantastic.
Below are two recipes, one for preserved spiced rhubarb, and the other for a libation made with the poaching syrup. The rhubarb itself is perfect for tossing in a free-form crust for a quick dessert tart. The cocktail we've dubbed the "Rhubarbarian", spiked with vodka and lime. You can also make a Rhubarbarian soda, just omit the vodka. It makes a perfect summer refresher, even in the rain.
A chronicle of my adventures growing, preserving, cooking and eating from my garden and everywhere.
Known to many for my incredible ability to organize, I tackle gardening and life with equal verve. Obsessive, is that a bad thing?

by Tammy Kimbler
1 lb rhubarb
1 grapefruit
1 lime
2" vanilla bean
2" cinnamon stick
1" ginger
2 tsp fennel seed
2 c sugar
1 c water
Cut the rhubarb in even sticks that fit nicely into two pint jars, and set aside. Zest the grapefruit and lime in long strips with a peeler and juice them. Discard the pith. Julianne ginger. Add zest, juice, ginger and the remaining ingredients to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the rhubarb sticks to the hot liquid. Turn off the heat and allow to come to room temp. The rhubarb should still be slightly firm.
Pack the rhubarb sticks into two clean pint jars. Reduce the remaining liquid to two cups. Pour one cup hot syrup nto each pint jar, topping off with a little water if needed. Wipe the rims and add the lids. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Public Lecture - Islamic Prophecy: An Overview on a Universal Phenomenon in the Middle East
December 2, 2010
On 2 December 2010, Robert Rollinger, Visiting Lecturer at AKU-ISMC and Professor at the Institute for Ancient History, Languages and Cultures of the Ancient Orient, Leopold Franzens University, Austria gave a public lecture entitled, "Islamic Prophecy: An Overview on a Universal Phenomenon in the Middle East". In his lecture, Professor Rollinger explored ancient Near Eastern prophecy, focusing on examples of prophecy which appear in documents from the city of Mari (18th c. BC) and from Neo Assyrian times (7th c. BC). Prophecy as a cultural phenomenon is a well established institution in the ancient Near East, and is widely attested from the end of the 3rd millennium BC onwards. In studying prophecy, understanding transmission is essential. It can be defined as a method of revealing the divine will to humans, where prophets – both male and female – act as direct mouthpieces of gods whose messages they communicate. A recording of the lecture is available here.

January 12th, 2012 by Peggy Farabaugh
Yesterday we were discussing the different types of furniture that people call "custom wood furniture". My last post was about Made To Order Wood Furniture and Customized Wood Furniture. Today I wanted to distinguish these from true custom wood furniture and ultra luxury custom artisan furniture. Here are my thoughts:
So I hope this helps to better define "custom wood furniture" and draw a distinction between: made to order wood furniture, customized wood furniture, true custom wood furniture and ultra luxury custom artisan furniture. Customers often ask why the price of one of our pieces may be drastically different from another, when the two pieces look similar at first glance. The answer lies in the amount of time and expertise involved as well as the quality of the wood and hardware. At Vermont Woods Studios we're always happy to discuss these details and refer customers directly to our furniture makers when we've reached the limit of our own expertise. Learn more about commissioning custom wood furniture here.
December 11th, 2011 by Peggy Farabaugh
Over the last 30 years, almost all the big American furniture manufacturers (including La-Z-Boy, Vaughan-Bassett, Broyhill, Drexel Heritage, Henredon, Hickory Chair, Lane, Thomasville, Ethan Allen and so on) have moved their operations overseas to China, Vietnam and other third world countries. The result has been cheaper prices, lower quality and the emergence of what we call "curbside furniture".
But there are still many companies that make high quality fine furniture right here in the USA and Vermont has more than it's share of them. That's why we call Vermont the Fine Furniture Capital of America. Throughout the off-shoring movement, only one Vermont furniture company I know of moved it's operations overseas. The rest stayed here in Vermont remaining true to their values of quality, integrity, sustainability and community.
We've profiled a number of these great American furniture makers including Vermont companies like Copeland Furniture and Lyndon Furniture as well as many small, custom, fine furniture makers including Steve Holman, Dan Mosheim, Chad Woodruff and Greg Goodman.
Today I wanted to highlight the work of Kit Clark, a consumate craftsman who specializes in luxury custom rocking chairs. "Furniture that fits you" is Kit's mantra and he makes custom rockers much like a tailor would make a custom suit. Each rocker is designed specifically to fit its owner. Kit studies a customer's posture, records their measurements and interviews them to understand any subtleties that could be used to enhance the comfort of their rocker. Then he goes back to the shop and eventually emerges with masterpiece in hand. Stop by Kit's shop in Ferrisburgh, VT if you get a chance. I can't think of a more luxurious Made in America Christmas present than a Kit Clark Rocker.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County recorded what is believed to be its largest single-day increase Friday, rising 19.5 cents to $4.523, its highest amount since July 10, 2008.
The average price record is $4.63, set on June 19, 2008.
Some gas stations in North County have already surpassed the record, with a high of $4.89 at some stations. In some parts of San Diego, gas prices have reached $5.59.
The average price has risen for seven consecutive days, including 9.2 cents on Thursday and 5.8 cents on Wednesday, and is now 40.7 cents more than one week ago, 36.7 cents higher than one month ago and 70.9 cents greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
"Reportedly in recent weeks, local refineries were dropping production levels, exporting supply to Mexico and other countries, and allowing inventory to dwindle in anticipation of switching over to production of winter blend gasoline, then a refinery power outage and a pipeline incident occurred on Monday that sent wholesale markets into a panic about the adequacy of California fuel supplies," said Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Spring said "it's not clear" how much higher prices will go.
"A lot depends on whether the perceived supply issues are quickly addressed," he said.
As of 4 a.m. Friday, the cheapest gas in Encinitas was $4.20 and could be found at the Mobil station at 310 Encinitas Blvd. The 7-Eleven on Village Parkway was close behind with gas at $4.24.

The Gran Canaria region
Puerto de Mogán is situated in the south-east of Gran Canaria: 30 km far from Playa del Ingles, the centre of tourism of the island, 56 km far from the International Airport of Gando and 80 km far from Las Palmas de Gran Canarias. In this cosmopolitan and modern city, with more than 500.000 inhabitants, you can find: museums, art exhibitions, theatres, cinemas, casinos, shopping centres, banks and every type of commercial and entertainment activities.
Canary Island's climate in general, and Puerto de Mogán's climate in particular, is semi-tropical with temperatures around 28 degrees in July and August and 22 degrees in December and January, that make us say that we are in a so-called "perpetual spring".
Little rain, low environmental humidity and warm sea water temperatures during the whole year are the basis of the island's high-quality healthy climate, recognised by medical authorities all over the world.
In Puerto de Mogán we can find a mixture of two different cultures: the tourism, (modern and international culture), and the fishing, (local culture), with local people that work and live in the small fishing village.
Normally, in other places of the world, those two "ways of live" are separate. However, this is not the case, thanks to Raphael Neville, who has done a great job, not only designing and building a very fashionable resort, but also producing a friendly environment for both cultures.
The typical colours, such as bordeaux red, Prussian blue, dark green, and yellow that adorn the buildings, are in the same time the characteristic theme that feature the fishing boats.
We have as well bougainvilleas, climbing plants, hibiscus and palm-trees adding colour to the layout of the whole urbanization and enriching the resort.
In the harbour, you can see boat repairmen and also the most luxurious yachts, side by side with the local fishing boats.
Nowadays, the local people that live in the old village of Playa de Mogán, they work, and share their social lives together with tourists coming from different nations.
In Puerto de Mogán you can find and choose between many opportunities, to meet any wish:
- More than fifty bars, restaurants, pizza houses and snack bars.
- Three supermarkets and groceries
- Shops and boutiques.
- A local market every Friday
- Traditional fishing or fishing trips
- A large selection of water sports
- Public and private doctor and chemists
- Public and private bus services, taxies, rental cars/boats and ferry services
- A small and quiet beach at approximately 50 metres
- Spend all day in casual wear and have a dinner with formal dresses
- Pedestrian area: in all the resort is absolutely forbidden the circulation of any
You can choose any time of the year to spend your holidays in Puerto de Mogán, as you will always find an excellent weather.

"Good location but needs major renovation"
First of all, I would like to thank the hotel for letting me staying 2 nights (the min stay is 3 nights). While the location is perfect, the area is nice and safe and the outside of the hotel looks c… More
Dear guest,
Thank you very much for giving us your opinión about our resort.
As you wrote in your review, we've been able to manage your two nights booking, even if in that period it was very high season, and we were fully booked with longer term bookings.
You have been advised before the arrival that we couldn't promise any type of apartment. You get one with terrace, facing a garden and you have been lucky, as normally you could get an apartment with French-balony (without space to sit outside).
Regarding the cleaning conditions of the bathroom, we have just checked the guests reports of that days while you were here, and unfortunatley we didn't received any complain from you, while you were located. So, we did't knew anything about this problem, and it was impossible for us to help you, or solve it, while you were staying in the apartment. Of course, we always try to do our best to make the guests feel comfortable; that's why we need to be informed in time of possible problems.
As regards the tv in the bedroom, our apartments are not prepared for that, and there is no information about that in the website.
As we are a 2 keys resort, we are not obliged to have 2 televisions and shampoo in the apartment, which is salf catering service.
We are actually working to update our apartments.
Thank you very much once more for your kind opinión, which we will take in account for possible future updatings.
Best Regards from the Staff.

Major: Communication Disorders
Estimated Date of Graduation: December 2014
University: The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey
Area of professional interest: Acquisition of childhood literacy
Connect with other students in Region 5: Region 5 Facebook page, ASHA Community Region 5
I joined NSSLHA because: I have a passion for the field of communication disorders and sciences and knew that being part of NSSLHA meant being part of a community of people that truly can make a difference in this field. The benefits of being a NSSLHA member are limitless. Along with receiving most of the benefits that a traditional ASHA membership receives, you are connected to other students who are in the same journey of their life as you are. The feeling of unity that NSSLHA offers all of its members is a priceless gift. I became a NSSLHA member before becoming president of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey chapter. After assuming the role of president, I turned to the NSSLHA website for encouragement and ideas on how to properly run our local chapter. NSSLHA offered advice on planning community events and inspired me to start a college wide walk-a-thon after hearing a lecture on thyroid cancer and its effects on communication skills. My goal of becoming a member of NSSLHA and chapter president was to simply make a difference in our community and heighten awareness of the areas of concern for our field.
I applied for a position on the Executive Council because: Of the feeling of fulfillment that being the chapter president has instilled in me. I feel as though I have done everything I can to lay a solid foundation for the next president of our local chapter. I now have a sense of urgency to be a part of this field at the national level and be the voice of students like me. My passion and dedication to this field is what drives me to make it better every day and being on the Executive Council will help me achieve this. I feel as though my personality is one that works well with others and would be a great addition to the existing Executive Council.
During my two-year term on the council, I will be successful if I accomplish: The major area I would like shed light upon is the importance of our students' involvement in political advocacy. Students do not realize how big of a role they can play in our government and the choices that are made. As future speech-pathologists and audiologists, it is our job to advocate for our patients and their rights. I would help spread the word of the of NSSLHA's resources and advice on how to become involved at this level. I was told by a fellow student during my undergraduate degree that they "were simply one person" and that they "couldn't make a difference alone." That feeling of apathy is what I hope to erase as a Council Executive member.
My vision for my region is: My vision for my region would be to increase the amount communication between each chapter. In helping plan many events and fundraisers within my local chapter, I came to realize how much more of an impact we would have had if other chapters would have been involved also. Working in our field of study, collaboration and team work are essential to being successful. Our NSSLHA chapters should feel the same sense of togetherness and I plan on being the avenue of communication to make that happen. Our current Regional Counciler, Courtney Durham, said it best when she said, "It takes just one person to start making a difference...imagine what would happen if we had increased awareness with members at each local chapter in our region, each wanting to make a greater difference in their future and the future of their clients." These are words that I would live by as an Executive Council member and I wouldn't rest until I saw movement in the right direction.

Teaser Tuesday – January 7, 2014
Happy New Year!!! What new books are you reading in 2014??
Doctor Illuminatus: The Alchemist's Son by Martin Booth
Out of the blue, the air was filled with a maelstrom of insects – butterflies, bees, gnats, grasshoppers, mosquitos, dragonflies, wasps, lacewings and shield bugs. They beat against her face, crawled over her neck, tangled themselves in her hair and sought to get in her mouth, nostrils and ears.
The Heroes of Olympus Book Four: The House of Hades by Rick Riordan
"The Phlegethon?" He shinnied along the ledge. They'd made it roughly a third of the way down the cliff – still high enough up to die if they fell. "Sounds like a marathon for hawking spitballs."
Cross My Heart by James Patterson
"Every crime scene! I saw him outside the spa, and the Lancasters' house, and I swear I caught a glimpse of him in a Georgetown sweatshirt in the crowd outside the brothel. And Bree says she thinks Carney was the officer she ordered to help Mrs. Branson after she almost collapsed right after Joss was taken!"
So, what are you reading in 2014?? Share in the comments!!
Allegiant by Veronica Roth: A Book Review
In Divergent, one choice can transform you. In Insurgent, one choice can destroy you. In Allegiant, the final book in this trilogy by Veronica Roth, one choice will define you. The major difference with Allegiant was that, unlike the first two books, this one was not told solely from Tris' point of view. In a twist that I liked, Veronica Roth also gave us Four's point of view, which I thought was a great idea. Not that I didn't like Tris, but sometimes when you get everything from one person's perspective, it can be a little hard to really get a feel of the other characters, to know what is really in their heads and not just what Tris' thoughts and perceptions of them are. From the beginning I was always intrigued with Four, so I was glad that he was getting a chance to have a voice as well.
Before reading the book, I had heard some grumblings about fans not liking the ending and even threating the author to rewrite it (not sure if this is true or not), so I was intrigued and decided to dive right in before I accidentally read some spoilers. I have to admit, this one didn't immediately grab me the way the other two had. I found the beginning slow. And although I enjoyed reading Four's perspective, I found I was bored with Tris and didn't really care what happened to her. In fact, she began to annoy me pretty quickly – which was disappointing as I had felt connected with her in the first two books and this was no longer the case. But I solidered on. Then I started thinking about the title – Allegiant. Sure, there was a group that called themselves Allegiant but they and their mission seemed to get lost pretty quickly and I no longer felt that the title had any validity. I'm not into giving spoilers, and I won't here, but I will say that when I did get to the part that I figured so many fans had problems with, I just kinda shurgged. It had no real impact on me and I felt it didn't hurt the story in the end. Sure, the end itself was kind of drawn out and weak and should have ended at about that climactic part without such a drawn out resolution. I will say I was more impacted with the fallout for Four and only felt emotional about the situation because I really felt that connection with him.
All in all, although I loved the first two books, I felt that Allegiant fell short of what the ending of such a great trilogy should have been. While in Divergent, the choices Tris made did transform her, and in Insurgent the choices destroyed not Tris but her world as she new it, I didn't feel that Allegiant really defined anyone or anything.
Sample Sunday – Love's Endurance (WIP)
Love's Endurance is the final installment in the Forbidden Love trilogy. Here is a sneak peek:
"What do you mean you don't have anything to do with this?" Johnny asked angrily, pacing. "This is your fault!"
"Are you kidding me?" the voice said on the other end, followed by a laugh. "I did not convince you to give me the information, Johnny. You did that all on your own."
"Listen, Angelina, I am in this mess because you had to have your revenge – I've lost my business and my family – and you are going to help me get it all back," Johnny said in a hard tone, rubbing his hand over his hair, the usually impeccable style now an unruly mess of curls.
"I would love to help you, Johnny, but I plan on keeping to my low profile. I accomplished what I set out to do and I would prefer to stay alive long enough to continue to enjoy it," Angelina said.
"All you accomplished, Angelina, was to give Jake and Alvarez more power than they ever had before. All you accomplished was to get me exiled from my home and family. I won't allow it to continue."
Angelina laughed again. "Give it up, Johnny," she said. "Enjoy the peace and quiet. But if you go back there, you will be dead. We both know it."
Johnny did know it. Jake and Luis had wasted no time in systematically dismantling his organization and backing Sara in obtaining full custody of their children. With Angelina's father's help – something she had promised for his cooperation – he had been able to leave Donovan's Harbor and find refuge. He hated having to reply on someone else for his very existence.
Having heard enough, Johnny slammed the phone down and stalked over to the bar. Pouring a sizable amount of brandy into a glass, he swallowed the amber liquid in one gulp, banging the glass onto the table. If Angelina wasn't going to help him, he was going to have to find someone who would. He just had to make sure it was someone crazy enough to go up against Alvarez and Jake without backing down until the job was finished.
WhooHoo Wednesday – November 13, 2013
Time to celebrate the week!!!
For the first time I joined NaNoWriMo, even though I am not big on tracking word count, in the early stages I found it to be a great motivator to get my butt in the seat and write.
I have started the final installment to my Forbidden Love trilogy – Love's Endurance. I am trying to stick to a 6 month timeline and have it published by early May 2014…another motivator to get my butt in the seat and write!!
My second novel, Is Love Enough, is going to be in print soon and my first novel, Forbidden Love is heading to other ereader devices through Smashwords!
So, what are you celebrating this week?? I'd love to celebrate with you!
Teaser Tuesday – November 12, 2013
What is Teaser Tuesday you ask? It's a time to share what you are reading. All you have to do is open the book you are currently reading to a random page, choose a random line or two and share it. I find it a great way to find new authors and great stories!!
So, without further ado, here is what I am reading this week:
Bound tight, Sam and Norman were not a threat.
Once the square was empty, Kamapak crossed to them. He wore a worried expression.
Sam suspected the shaman feared his god's wrath if all these foreigners were not slain at dawn.
That's all I have for this week. What are you reading?
Happy Reading!!
Sample Sunday – Is Love Enough (Just Released!!)
The new chief of police pays Jessica a visit:
Chief Hunter was tall, with the muscular build of a former athlete who still kept in shape. His dark hair was cut short and was starting to gray – she figured him to be around her father's age. He had dark eyes that took everything in but didn't give too much away.
"I'm sorry for showing up without calling first. This is merely a courtesy call, Miss Alvarez," he said.
Jessica nodded. "That's very kind of you," she said, her guard still up. "But I'm sure this could have been done over the phone or through a more formal meeting." She was not willing to give him an inch…not yet, anyway.
"True," he conceded with a slight nod. "I will admit to this being more of an impulse visit. I just wanted to assure you that, unlike my predecessor, I have no ill will toward you because of your family or personal connections."
"So that's the polite way of saying that you won't use me to take down my father or anyone else I'm associated with who might or might not be involved in criminal activities."
To see how the rest of this conversation goes and what is in store for Jessica, check out Is Love Enough, on sale now on Amazon!!
Sample Sunday – Is Love Enough
"What the hell is that bitch doing here?" Johnny muttered as he paced back and forth in the living room after Jake's announcement. Angelina being in town was not a good thing. He was going to have to find out what her game plan was and see what he could to do counteract it. After a few more rounds around the room, he looked up at Sara sitting on the couch. "Where's Jake?"
"He left about ten minutes ago. He went to talk to Jessica," Sara said.
Johnny let out a sigh. He had watched his best friend over the last few weeks, had seen the pain Jake was in. Of course, Jake had tried to hide it by throwing himself into his work and taking that softball job from Falcon, but Johnny had begun to worry about him and had been planning to talk to him when he got back in town. And what was the first thing Jake had done? He had run straight to Jessica.
Johnny had mixed feelings about Jessica and her involvement with Jake.
Reckless – A Book Review
Couture dress designer Lexi doesn't have time for romance – not when her future and the future of her company is on the line. Jax just keeps making one bad choice after another when it comes to women and has decided that he had enough for now. He has a company and employees who depend on him. But when the two meet, passion and desires like neither of them has ever felt flare.
Reckless, a contemporary romance by Skye Jordan, is the first in her new Renegades series, a series I will definitely be looking forward to continue reading. I will admit that I am not into the fluffy romance genre and I am happy to say that Reckless is beyond a fluffy romance or even what I was expecting out of a contemporary romance! It's hot, it's passionate, it's playful. Reckless takes to characters who are wary of love or of making any kind of connection and would rather devote their time and attention to their careers and throws them together in a story that will make your blood race and your heart pound from the moment their eyes meet.
This was a great read and I loved the play of emotions between Lexi and Jax, and not just the bedroom emotions, but the cautions and passion they elicited in each other. I look forward to discovering more of their story and how their connection grows over time throughout the series.
Is Love Enough Cover Reveal!!!
FINALLY!!! Is Love Enough, the sequel to Forbidden Love is done!!! It will be coming to an Amazon page near you very soon, but in the mean time, here's a sneak peek at the cover!!
I want to thank Kip Ayers for yet again creating a beautiful cover.
Want to know what's going on in the lives of Jessica and Jake? Read on:
Bet you can't wait to get your hands on a copy!! Don't worry, I'll be back to let you all know when it's available!!
Rush – A Book Review
Rush is the third installment in the Phoenix Rising series by romantic suspense author Joan Swan. Just as with the first two, Fever and Blaze, Rush grabbed me from the opening lines and didn't let go until the very end, leaving me breathless and ready for more.
I was lucky enough to have had the chance to receive an advance copy of Fever in order to review it, which introduced me to this amazing group of people who are as close as any blood family. When Blaze was released I made sure to grab up a copy and dove right in, not coming up for breath until I had devoured every last word. And when the opportunity to receive an advanced copy of Rush was presented, of course I jumped at it. I was so excited when the book arrived in my mailbox and couldn't wait to learn about another member of the team.
Where Fever focused on Teague's story, and Blaze brought in Keiera and Luke, Rush delves into the before mentioned Quaid, but who until now, was a character we didn't really know. He was just a name. Quaid's story was powerful and heart wrenching. Joan Swan has a way of crafting her characters and stories in a way that makes you feel for the characters, makes you root for them while hoping the bad guy gets his in the end. And with each new book in the series, I love learning more and more about all of the characters, their dynamic and how they function as a group, as a family.
My heart has raced; I have felt anger, sadness, happiness, and the love that comes through Joan Swan's words. If you haven't had a chance to get to know these amazing people, if you haven't had a chance to hear their stories told as only they can tell it, I recommend you pick up a copy and get started…believe me, you won't be sorry!!

Unofficially, Complete Genomics, BGI, Illumina Chronicle At an End
PropThink covered the story in November, suggesting that a position in GNOM offered upside potential if Illumina could impose itself on the tender process, and limited downside with the BGI deal as a backstop. And, here's a full summary of the chronicle as of early December. While Complete Genomics' sale is not yet fully finalized, the deal looks like it's just a week from completion. Illumina has been at the center of a number of M&A goings-on, and it seems that it's other "pending" deal with Roche (OTC:RHHBY) is also now out of the question. With the take-out speculation gone, ILMN shares will need to revert to fundamentals, and the stock already trades at a premium to its peers.

45 Things to Know about DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES from Our Set Visit
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted 5 days ago
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a great movie. In a summer filled with explosions and spectacle, Apes used motion capture and other modern technology to help tell its story and audiences embraced the film. By the time the movie finished it's theatrical run, it had made close to $500 million worldwide. Based on the box office and reviews, it was no surprise when Fox moved forward with the sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The 2011 film set up a world and story that people wanted to see more of, so this felt like a sequel that was being made for the right reasons.
Last summer, when director Matt Reeves was filming in New Orleans, I got to visit the set with a few other online reporters. While on set I watched some filming, participated in group interviews with some of the cast and filmmakers, and learned a lot of cool stuff about one of my most anticipated films of 2014. If you're looking forward to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, hit the jump for 45 things to know about the film.

What Streams do you Watch?
So, I was wondering if you guys watch any progamer/community personality streams and if so, which ones, and for what reason?
I quite like to watch some when Im bored or feel like doing something Starcraft related thats no actually playing the game. Right now my favourite streamers to watch are the zerg player Catz and Snute. The reason I like them isnt that they are the best Zerg players out there (there are many that are better tbh) but because they often provided commentary talking about what they are doing and why they are doing. Not only does this make it more fun to watch but it also help me understand the game a bit better and hopefully improve my own play! Plus Catz singing along to his music has kind of made me do the same when I play ^^
If none of those players are on I usually just check a bit of iNcontroL (also provides non-stop commentary from him and his teammates) or maybe Destiny, although the constant bm he sometimes put on does get a bit tiring, as it feels he just does it for the sake of his persona
I love to watch idra whenever possible, but apart from that, Catz is fairly entertaining, but generally I'll just watch whoever is the best player streaming :P
Idra is someone who's vods I try and check out, he streams while I'm at work unfortunately though :(
Also, Spanishiwa, TLO and JulyZerg for when I want to get some ideas that I'll never be good enough to put into practice :D
If none of them are streaming I go for Dragon, Grubby or BlinG (UK represent :D)
psystarcraft isnt the best but he's damn amusing (zerg)
psystarcraft is so indignant and completely hilarious.
I like to watch anything with a caster. There's usually a tournament of 4 going on at any given time.
is e-sports killing esports?

The Rockland County Health Department has issued a boil water order for about 400 customers in New City and Pomona. Customers are ordered to boil their water for one minute before using it for drinking or cooking purposes. The boil water order is a precautionary measure following a shutdown of the water main in the area.
United Water Spokesman Steve Goudesmith said a contactor working for another entity damaged a United Water fire hydrant and the hydrant shut off valve on New Hempstead Road near Sycamore Drive at approximately 3 p.m. The repair of the fire hydrant required that the water main be shut down. Even though water service has been restored to most customers, they are under the boil water order because the repair took about five hours. He said the county health department mandates testing of water when a water main has been turned off for more than four hours.
Loss of pressure in a water main increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes could enter the system. Therefore, customers must boil their water until further notice. Testing of the water typically takes 72 hours.
Customers that have been affected are being notified by an automated phone system.
The boil water order is in effect for the following streets ONLY:
New City:
Scenic Vista Dr
Candlelight Cir
Sycamore Dr
Farview Ct
Buena Vista Rd
Beatrice Ln
Kingsland Dr
Annabelle Ln
Barbara Rd
Mc Leod Terr
Balter Rd
Nob Hill Rd
Dixwell Rd
Hobart Ct
Rodeo Dr
Rheinlander Ln
Gladys Dr
Louis Rd
Ramclark Ln
Old Phillips Hill Rd
Summit Dr
Red Rock Rd
Customers at the following addresses are also included in the boil water order:
New Hempstead Rd. from #318 through #379.
Trailside Place
Trails End
Trailside Court
Doolin Road
Sonata Street
Tempo Rd.
Conklin Rd
Revenna Dr
Tiffin Ln.
Carteret Dr
Marietta Dr
Leadore Ln
Gessner Terr
Skokie Ln
Neptune Ct
Wagon Wheel Dr
In an unrelated situation, some customera of Garnerville are also under a boil water order since Wednesday afternoon. The boil water order is in effect for the following Ramapo Road addresses: # 170, 172, 174 and 176.
Customers are ordered to boil their water for one minute for the following uses: drinking, cooking, baking, washing dishes, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets or other consumption. Water does not have to be boiled for showering or washing clothes.
Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. The symptoms above are not just caused by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
Goudesmith said water may be initially discolored when customers first turn on the faucet.
United Water emergency crews will collect water samples to monitor the safety of the drinking water. After the repairs are completed, it typically takes 72 hours to administer tests to two sets of samples and receive results, so it is important for customers in the affected area to continue to boil water until further notice.
For more information customers can call the Rockland County Health Department at 845-364-2608 or United Water at 845-623-1500 x 2225.

The world of car rentals can provide a frustrating experience. The choice of vehicles on offer can be varied in quality, and the rental process can be time-consuming. Often potential customers want to rent a car at short notice, if they are flying into a particular location and need to get to a particular venue at a certain time, for example.
Co-founder of Silvercar, Bill Diffenderfer, was keen to simplify this process. Silvercar customers only have one model of car they can rent – the silver 2013 Audi A4, and can book their vehicle through mobile with cloud–based profiles for each customer allowing a quick verification process. The intention is that the customer can jump into their rented vehicle and get on their way as quickly as possible. We put our questions Bill to find out how his team's take on the rental sector is coming along.
1. Where did the idea for Silvercar come from?
Silvercar is a collection of ideas, but at its core is the idea of just offering one car type. That idea was our co-founder's, Todd Belveal. As he says, that idea came from too many bad car rental experiences.
2. Can you describe a typical working day?
One of the great things about working at startups is that there is no typical working day.
3. How do you unwind or relax when you're not working on Silvercar?
When it's your start-up, you never really get away from it and relax. In the early stages, start-ups are so fragile that you worry about them and hover over them continuously. Still, I play golf to take my mind off Silvercar – just a different obsession!
4. What's the secret ingredient to success as an entrepreneur?
The secret ingredient is an inexhaustible determination to do it. No quitters allowed.
5. What drove you crazy when building your business?
You always have a love/hate relationship with the technology. In theory everything works and goes smoothly – that's what you plan for, but there are always little kinks, and things that have to be reworked just slightly for everything to fall in place. That can slow things down, but it's also just part of building a tech start up.
6. What motivates you to keep going?
The desire to build a great new company from nothing. It's a work of creation. Done well, it makes customers happy, employs people and rewards investors. And it is FUN!
7. If you were to start again, what would you do differently?
I learned long ago not to second guess. I love where we are, so I'm happy with the path that got us to this point.
8. Where do you see your business in five years, and how will you get there?
Silvercar is currently offered at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and at Austin Bergstrom International Airport as a rental option. But we're not stopping there. We plan to expand to at least two other airports by the end of 2013. Our future locations will be disclosed as plans and contracts are finalized. As for the next five years, it would be wonderful to have a presence at every major domestic airport – we'll have to see how things go. And of course we'll be listening to the market and our customers. There could be something different that's needed. We plan to evolve with market and technology needs.
9. If you weren't working on Silvercar, what would you be doing?
Writing another book.
10. Tell Springwise a secret…
Startups all begin with a single leap of faith – believe in yourself.
11. Any final words for aspiring entrepreneurs?
See the answer to question 10. Take babysteps and be picky about the ventures you start. If you have several ideas for a good business, start with the most manageable and work from there. You may have a fantastic idea that could really take off, but if you start with that one, you may have to endure learning curves that you could have learned on something less daunting.
Thanks Bill!

After the pageant and pandemonium of Friday's opening ceremony, we're now firmly into the Olympics events schedule, with a jam-packed day ahead.
Highlights include:
Swimming – Tonight we've got the finals of the Men's 200m Freestyle, the Women's 100m Backstroke, the Men's 100m Backstroke and the Women's 100m Breaststroke. Michael Phelps will be looking to improve on his sole silver medal from the first two days of competition, Rebecca Adlington will return to the pool for the women's 800m freestyle, and Gemma Spofforth will be hoping to impress with her 100m backstroke. In the Men's 200m freestyle final, China's Sun Yang is the main threat to Ryan Lochte of the US. Heats begin at 10am.
Diving – Great Britain's Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield compete in the Men's synchronised 10m platform final at 15.00
Gymnastics – Men's team final at 16.30
Equestrian – The Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips will be at Greenwich Park this afternoon to take part in the cross country event
Hockey – Fireworks expected as Britain opens against Argentina (grudge match?)
In the meantime here is some of the best coverage from the FT and elsewhere:
- The FT's Simon Rabinovitch writes from Beijing: "More than any G20 meeting or UN summit, the Olympics illustrate the tension at the heart of Chinese foreign policy"
- Matthew Engel watched the women's road race in Fulham on Sunday, and reports back on his impressions. "For me, the strongest impression of the Olympics so far has been neither triumph nor disaster but simply weirdness."
- The first British medal of 2012 was won by Lizzie Armitstead. Simon Kuper tells us about the 23-year-old who only took up the sport when talent-spotters planning for the London games visited her school
- Why all the empty seats? Vanessa Kortekaas, Roger Blitz and Ben Fenton report on the banks of unused seats in the first few days of events, and why soldiers and students have been brought in to fill them
- Widespread use of Twitter and other forms of social networking may have been to blame for poor transmission of race data, officials told Roger Blitz. #Oops
- Boris Johnson has a typically jaunty column in the Telegraph, in which he hits back at the idea that the opening ceremony was some kind of 'Lefty propaganda': "Right-wing critics should be reassured that the meaning of the Mary Poppins-Dementors clash has been widely misunderstood."
- Paula Radcliffe had to withdraw from London 2012 due to a foot injury. Jonathan Edwards, the winner of gold in the 2000 triple jump, told BBC Sport she should be remembered as one of Great Britain's greatest athletes
- The Daily Mail revealed the embarrassing loss of the keys to Wembley Stadium. Scotland Yard says there is "no security concern in relation to the stadium as measures were taken immediately to secure all key areas of the venue", reports the FT's Ben Fenton.

Kansas To Start Drug Testing Welfare Recipients
Associated Press - December 27, 2013 9:51 am
The Kansas Senate has approved regulations for counselors who help consumers navigate an online insurance marketplace created by the federal health care overhaul strongly opposed by most Republican state officials.
Kansas is set to begin a drug testing program next year for some welfare recipients similar to a Missouri program that cost about $500,000 and turned up fewer than two dozen people who tested positive.
After eight months, and 636 drug test requests, Missouri's program this year cost nearly $500,000 and found 20 people who tested positive. About 200 others refused to comply.
The Kansas City Star reports (http://bit.ly/19nyd23 ) that like Missouri, Kansas will test welfare recipients who are suspected of drug use, sometimes flagged by tests or a questionnaire.
Kansas Sen. Jeff King, who authored the state's testing plan, says some people will not apply for benefits if they think they will test positive. He says that should be considered in evaluating any drug testing plan.

12/21/2009 - After the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress set up a system that required food producers to register with the federal government, theoretically making it easier to trace dangerous contaminants in the nation's food supply. A new report for the Department of Health and Human Services reveals that more than half of those producers have not registered properly. Many have failed to give the most basic, updated information. Five percent have failed to register altogether.This is only the latest reminder of the weaknesses in the nation's food safety system, and a warning that Congress should move quickly to repair that system, starting with a bill now awaiting a vote on the Senate floor.Read the full editorial The 76 Million Food Victims on the New York Times' Web site.

Nov. 22, 2010
The city of Phoenix has met its goal for saving money through innovation and efficiency measures seven months before the target date. The City Council will hear the details at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 23, in the City Council Chambers, 200 W. Jefferson St.
The city has saved $10,619,000 in the General Fund and more than $25 million overall for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years. That exceeds the General Fund goal of saving $10 million.
"Through creativity and hard work, more than $10 million will go to parks, libraries, public safety, senior centers and other critical services," said Mayor Phil Gordon. "Our hard-working employees and business partners are finding great solutions for continuing to provide excellent service to our community."
A group of private-sector volunteers and city staff members has served on the Innovation and Efficiency Task Force since January. Work groups are focusing on consolidation, right sourcing, service cuts, revenue enhancements, cost recovery and process improvements. Total savings projected over five years is more than $107 million.
"Our process is bringing together business and government leaders to work through complicated issues and ideas," said Councilman Bill Gates, chairman of the City Council Finance, Efficiency and Innovation Subcommittee. "Their efforts are saving the taxpayers money, while improving the quality of life in Phoenix."
Innovation and Efficiency work groups collaborated with all city departments to identify efficiency and cost-savings measures. Highlighted examples of savings include:
- $1.4 million - elimination of 546 vacant General Fund positions, producing the city's smallest workforce per capita in more than 40 years.
- $1.7 million - consolidations of some departments and city functions.
- $860,000 - transfering the "Reserve-A-Ride" program from the Human Services Department to Public Transit.
- $85,000 – elimination of paper pay stubs.
- $2.2 million – organizational reviews of all departments to streamline services, focussing on direct service to residents.
- $797,000 – rebid of life insurance contracts.
- Nearly $800,000 – from more than 100 private-sector business partners who agreed to reduce contract fees by three percent.
The Task Force and City Council subcommittee devoted to innovation and efficiency will continue their efforts, looking for additional ways to save money and improve service.
More information about the task force's activities is available at the Innovation and Efficiency website.

In 1987, game designer Hironobo Sakaguchi was on the verge of quitting the industry and returning to university to pursue an alternative career. In search of last hurrah, he and his team at Square put all of their resources and efforts into the development of one final title – Sakaguchi's swansong, his 'Final Fantasy'.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Square's series has now been a mainstay of the gaming industry for twenty-six years, with fourteen games and a countless array of remakes, spin-offs and sequels having combined to sell more than one hundred million units across the globe. A number of additional titles are in development and although recent releases haven't garnered the same level of critical acclaim as their predecessors, they still remain leaps and bounds ahead of most other series on the market in terms of quality.
Throughout its now illustrious history, the series has featured its fair share of epic moments, captivating its audience with scenes that live long in the memory. Whether tearful, tragic, nostalgic, romantic, comedic or triumphant, the following list (put together over the space of ten months) showcases one hundred and fifty of the franchise's finest hours, each of which is accompanied by a quote and recapped towards the end.
Let us begin, albeit with a spoiler alert for anybody unfamiliar with the stories of the games, which are explained in significant detail at times.
