THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,v.MICHAEL WHITE, ALSO KNOWN AS MICHAEL BREWER, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Ontario County Court (Craig J. Doran, J.), rendered April 11, 2011.
People v White
Appellate Division, Fourth Department
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
Released on February 8, 2013
The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him, upon a jury verdict, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (Penal Law § 220.39 [1]) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (§ 220.16 [1]), defendant contends that the conviction is unsupported by legally sufficient evidence. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), we reject that contention (see generally People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Moreover, viewing the evidence in light of the elements of the crimes as charged to the jury (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 349), we reject defendant's contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence (see generally Bleakley, 69 NY2d at 495). Defendant next contends that the court acted vindictively in sentencing him based on his exercise of his right to a jury trial. That contention is unpreserved for our review (see People v Motzer, 96 AD3d 1635, 1636, lv denied 19 NY3d 1104; People v Stubinger, 87 AD3d 1316, 1317, lv denied 18 NY3d 862). In any event, the record does not support defendant's contention (see Stubinger, 87 AD3d at 1317).
Defendant's challenge in his main and pro se supplemental briefs to the legal sufficiency of the evidence before the grand jury is precluded by his conviction upon legally sufficient trial evidence (see CPL 210.30 [6]; People v Smith, 4 NY3d 806, 808). Furthermore, the record does not support defendant's contention that the grand jury was misled regarding a recorded telephone call, and the indictment therefore was not subject to dismissal on that ground (see People v Bean, 66 AD3d 1386, 1386, lv denied 14 NY3d 769). Defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel in his main and pro se supplemental briefs fail "to demonstrate the absence of strategic or other legitimate explanations" for defense counsel's alleged deficiencies (People v Rivera, 71 NY2d 705, 709; see generally People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 151), and we thus reject them. Additionally, any isolated errors in defense counsel's representation were not so serious that defendant was thereby deprived of a fair trial (see People v Henry, 95 NY2d 563, 565--566).
We have reviewed defendant's remaining contentions in his pro se supplemental brief and conclude that none warrant reversal or modification of the judgment. Entered: February 8, 2013 Frances E. Cafarell Clerk of the Court

MBC president Kim Jae-chul, left, walks toward the headquarters of the Foundation for Broadcasting Culture in Yeouido, Wednesday, while striking MBC reporters boo him on the sidelines. The foundation is the largest shareholder and supervisor of the nation's second largest broadcaster. Nearly 200 MBC reporters and producers have been staging a walkout for more than a month, demanding Kim step down from his post.

By Na Jeong-ju
The prolonged strike at MBC is disrupting not only news programs but also popular TV series. It announced Wednesday that its TV series "The Sun and the Moon" won't be aired for an indefinite period because its director Kim Do-hoon is participating in the strike.
Unionized workers of the country's second largest broadcaster are continuing their walkout since late January, demanding the resignation of the firm's President Kim Jae-chul.
The last two episodes of the drama, which has garnered above 40 percent ratings, were supposed to be aired on Wednesday and Thursday night.
"The drama will resume after Kim returns to work. However, we may find an alternative director to complete the series," an MBC spokesman said.
The director is joining the ongoing strike as the MBC union steps up pressure on the president. The union claims that he has damaged MBC's political neutrality by blocking critical reports on President Lee Myung-bak and his conservative administration since he took office in 2010. Kim has sacked union leaders and taken discriminative measures against striking unionists.
Besides MBC, the union of the public broadcaster KBS walked out on Tuesday, demanding management step down. Employees at YTN, a cable news channel, also decided to go on strike. Unionists of the firms argue that their "political" presidents have censored coverage critical of President Lee.
Opposition parties have called for the resignation of the presidents to normalize the operation of the broadcasters. "The ongoing strikes at KBS and MBC show that the principle of fair reporting and freedom of the press were severely damaged under the Lee administration," Kim Jin-pyo, floor leader of the main opposition Democratic United Party, told reporters Wednesday.

The competitive nature of the job market these day requires that your resume is as creative and unique as possible to catch the attention of your future potential employer. Creating a video resume to accompany your traditional CV would be a great way to stand out from the crowd. They can provide potential employers with more insight into what an individual has to offer.
In this day and age, a video resume is a must-have tool in any job-seekers toolbox. Here I've collected 15 real-life examples of creative and funny job application videos from job-hunters from all over the globe to get you inspired. If you're wondering how much humor, wit, and creativity to include in your own job application videos, just take a look here.
More on Hongkiat.com :
What's a copywriter to do when they're moving to a new place and looking for a job? Send out an eye-catching CV video of course. Using his writing skills, he tells us all about his "gorgeous girlfriend".
This self-promotional video is just an intro that links to other videos featured in this series: about me, skills, portfolio, timeline and contact. It demonstrates just how creative you can get with a video resume.
This creative video CV comes with eye-catching animation and light background music. It showcases the job seeker's creative skills, personalities and experiences in a way that will appeal to future employers.
Writing on a chalkboard is another creative way to tell your story on video. Cristina is a translator and interpreter with experience in aviation. The great background music also lends a hand in the video.
This short animated resume is made with AfterEffect and Adobe Illustrator. It depicts all the important form in an entertaining animated video.
Created back in 2011, this is a light and funny CV video although the setting suggests otherwise. It tells the sad story of a man who has been a workaholic since childhood.
Alex made this video CV while she was looking for a job when she realized that a traditional paper resume wouldn't work out. The concept behind the video is that it emulates what it would actually be like for her in an interview and how she would answer questions.
The brief description accompanying this video on YouTube says that thansk to it Mark finally has managed to find his dream job at a global men's health charity! Mark tells about his education, working experience and hobbies in a fun and fresh way.
I'm not sure for what kind of job this kind of resume would work for, but this epic video is really funny. For this video, Eric even used clever editing to make his hair grow faster.
A crumpled piece of paper and a pair of hands can make for a fairly effective resume. What's even better is that this presentation can be made with After Effects and Photoshop.
If you're someone who prefers a more simple route, how about something with typograghy and icons like Lauren Goodman's video?
I love that video resume. It's a digital graphic resume which convinces that you need a social media specialist and yes, Mary is the person to call. It's done in a very informative and engaging manner with some nice music too.
If you're a fan of the TV show "How I Met Your Mother", you're probably quite familiar with the character of Barney Stinson. Take a look at just how "awesome" your video can potentially be.

Laura Wolvaardt continued her excellent batting form and Anneke Bosch produced a fine, all-round performance to help Western Province (WP) and North West secure their places in the final on Day Four of the Cricket South Africa (CSA) National Women's Week in Bloemfontein on Thursday.
Advocate Nicolas Kock was appointed unopposed as president of the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) at a special meeting of the WPCA general council at PPC Newlands on Monday night, succeeding the long-serving Beresford Williams, who was recently named vice president of Cricket South Africa.
The Western Province Cricket Association's (WPCA) Youth Cricket Department recently hosted the WPCA Sunfoil Girls u13 Cricket Festival at the Chukker Road Sports Complex.
The country's top cricketers will assemble in Bloemfontein this week for the 2019 instalment of the Cricket South Africa (CSA) Women's National Week, taking place from 25 – 29 March.
Western Province have an outside chance of leapfrogging Northerns, the log leaders in the CSA Three-Day Provincial series, but they will have to beat Northerns and also win their final game in comprehensive fashion, and they will have to deny Northerns batting and bowling bonus points, if they are to stage a miraculous fightback in the senior provincial first-class division B.
The Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) on Tuesday mourned the passing of former president of the WP Umpires Association, David Jantjies.
The technical drills he performed with Paul Adams during the week before the CSA One-Day Provincial series did wonders and Junaid Dawood reminded the selectors of his prowess when he captured 4-25 in 6.4 overs for Western Province against Boland and wrapped up the innings as Boland was dismissed for a paltry 151. Province struck 152 for 5 and romped to a five-wicket win in the One Day clash on Sunday.

Final week I wrote about the benefits of transitioning your cat to a uncooked food weight loss plan to stop feline urinary tract infections. Cats didn't cease being obligate carnivores just because we put a roof over their heads. That is why it is important to not just think about the checklist of components but to additionally have a look at the Cat Food Composition chart, or name the corporate for the knowledge.
Nevertheless, feeding a small quantity of a food plan that is inappropriate for the species isn't the answer! That is referred to as a false optimistic" report and results in pointless worry on the a part of the owner and sometimes leads to the cat being placed on an inappropriate, low high quality weight loss plan.
Notice that they're usually made up mainly of plant proteins – not meat proteins – especially the dry versions. The protein in dry meals, therefore, earns a lower biological worth score. Of course, the identical deterioration can occur in any cat that is not consuming sufficient protein, but the degree of protein in these diets just isn't only at anextremely low level, it is in an incomplete type for a carnivore.
Third, many cats swallow the majority of their dry food entire. This can be a far cry from the consistency of dry or canned food. Do cats survive on these heavily (synthetically) supplemented plant-based mostly diets? Please note that Hill's has at all times used BHT, and ethoxyquin in many of their merchandise although not too long ago I've observed that these chemicals have been faraway from a few of their foods.
Stress can also be thought to play a really vital function in cystitis and even cats which can be fed a one hundred pc canned meals diet might experience bouts of cystitis. It's best to goal for a food plan that derives lower than 10{11109627fa179619bd91fc77a5d10dfb0552c5bc888d4b5d3bd02bfde3dfb07b} of its calories from carbohydrates.

iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Touch Panel with Frame Leaked
BY ETrade Supply | August 29th, 2012 | 0 | 0
iPhone 5 Part leaks showed to be for the new generation iPhone 5 release date approaches, with many latest photos showing what appears to be the most completely assembled front panel seen yet. The new leaks photos, which were spotlighted by Apple.pro, were posted to a Photo bucket account that former leaked photos of measurements showing that the next generation iPad would become thicker than the iPad 2, as well as the first leaked photos of the next-generation iPhone 5 front touch panel.
The latest batch of new photos posted showing a almost completely assembled front panel with much more parts we had seen in last months' leaked of the front panel with the LCD attached. The new photos showing the LCD with the front panel band the home button installed and secured by the metal bracket, the shielding frame of the screen that was known as the separate part this month, and the front camera installed in the back of additional shielding.
Increasing numbers of parts are leaking in ever more complete states of assembly, offering good looks at the overall appearance and layout of the next-generation iPhone. While the front of the device will appear very similar to the iPhone 4S/4 with the exception of a taller screen and slight tweaks in the locations of the camera and sensors, it is the rear of the device that seems to be generating the most discussion. The forthcoming iPhone appears to incorporate a unibody design that will incorporate a two-toned rear/side shell featuring a large metal section in the center paired with two strips of glass or plastic at the top and bottom that will allow for transmission of the numerous types of signals necessary for the device's operation.
NFC sensor equipped on front side of new iPhone A part which is considered as NFC sensor is assembled on this LCD part photo. Considering past leaked new iPhone photos which are reported by iLab Factory or other reporters, a hole is pitted beside iSight camera and new expanded flex-cable, which are connected volume button, reaches where this hole places. This meant some sensor should be assembled on side of iSight camera, and it was cleared now. NFC sensor is it.

Modric Expected A Different Outcome – What Happens Now For Inter?
According to Spanish sources, Luka Modric will renew his contract with Real Madrid and say goodbye to the temptation of Inter. But will it really be like this? Corriere dello Sport tries to outline the future scenario:
Nothing came of the summit with Florentino himself. Just as happened on Wednesday when Modric faced Jose Angel Sanchez, general director of the Merengues, who reiterated the non-transferability and the willingness to open up discussions for the renewal of his contract, a reward for his performance last season and at the World Cup.
Modric clearly expected a different communication and did not take it well. He tried to force his hand, but he understood that there is no room for manoeuvre. What will happen now?
The player's entourage still keeps a door open, the same door Real has tried to shut by talking about the next renewal of the contract. When? After the end of the market.
If Modric does not resign himself to the idea of staying at the Casa Blanca, he will have to try and force his hand, by not presenting himself for example today in Valdebebas (he as expected has not been convened for the match against tonight's Milan at the Bernabeu) or asking not to be called up for the Super Cup final.
It would be a thunderous tear. If he does not do this then he will become, after the end of the market, one of the highest paid players at Real and perhaps will have as a partner one of Thiago Alcantara, which Perez hopes to snatch from Bayern, or Milinkovic-Savic.

The historic case of The Central Park Five will be the subject of a new dramatic limited series for Netflix created by Ava DuVernay, who will also write and direct. The narrative, five-episode series will be executive produced by Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King from Participant Media, Oprah Winfrey/Harpo Films, Jane Rosenthal and Berry Welsh from Tribeca Productions, and DuVernay.
Based on a true story, the series promises to expose the breakdown of our criminal justice system at every phase of the notorious Central Park Five case. Each part will focus on one of the five teenagers from Harlem — Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise — wrongly convicted of raping Trisha Meili in Central Park. The series will span from the spring of 1989, when each were first questioned about the incident, to 2014 when they were exonerated and a settlement was reached with the city of New York.
"I had an extraordinary experience working with Netflix on '13TH' and am overjoyed to continue this exploration of the criminal justice system as a narrative project with Cindy Holland and the team there," said Ava DuVernay. "The story of the men known as Central Park Five has riveted me for more than two decades. In their journey, we witness five innocent young men of color who were met with injustice at every turn – from coerced confessions to unjust incarceration to public calls for their execution by the man who would go on to be the President of the United States."

The weekend started out with a stop at the local running store to pick up my race packet for the Girls with Sole (here) Lula 5K that I would be running on Sunday. I ran into my friend Kim at packet pick up and we did a little shopping and I decided to buy a book written by Liz Ferro, the founder of Girls with Sole. After I paid for my copy of "Finish Line Feeling" (here) I asked Liz to sign it for me. She did so and we all talked for a bit. After leaving the running store, I head to use a Dick's sporting goods gift card I had. I ended up running into Kim there as well! I bought a fun skirt and two tanks tops that I really like! Since I was scheduled to run 14 miles on Sunday I had to switch my workouts around so I could fit in the 5K and cheer on my dear friends Missi and Patty at their first 1/2 IronMan. I decided I would get my long run in early Saturday morning and just run the 5K with tired legs. Once I got home Friday evening I got everything ready for my morning run and then sat down and started reading "Finish Line Feeling". The book was so fantastic and I didn't want to put it down. After getting to page 100 or so I knew I needed to call it a night since my alarm would be going off early in the morning.
I had no problem getting up with my alarm for my run which was great. It was the perfect temperature outside and I was looking forward to my run. Since the marathon I am training for is a two loop course I had decided that I would run my 7 mile loop twice. The added bonus would be that I would go past my house if I needed more water, fuel, or a restroom break. Awesome! I start out on my run feeling great and as I approach mile two I am faced with this.
|Life is full of detours
|Elbow rash and yes, I did press stop on my Garmin. HA!
|Knee rash
|14 run and done!
|I did take the road less traveled...ouch!
I was up early again on Sunday morning to head to the Lula 5K. I ran a mile warm-up with Kim and then we took a few pictures and headed to the start line.
|Kim, me, and Bick
|Pretty impressive for replacement signs!
|Kim, me, Patty, Missi, and Bick
We had to get a photo of all of us and then we separated ways and headed home. Of course we were starving by this point so we stopped off and grabbed a late lunch before making it back home. Once I finally made it back to my house I realized that my face was really hot. Sure enough, my face is as red as a tomato today. Overcast skies and no sunscreen are a painful combination.
Although I have battle scars and sunburn to show for it, I wouldn't change this past weekend for the world. I am so glad that we could be there to see Missi and Patty finish their journey. Believe me though, I know these ladies well enough to know this isn't the end...they are just getting started!!
Keep running, you're simply the best, and Missi and Patty you inspire me!!

In the 17th century the church was the dominant institution, while in the 21st century the corporation is the dominate institution. In 17th century Europe, the church was the main place where ordinary citizens got their information and were handed down opinions on what was right or wrong. Any established church was an effective form of thought control. The churches of this time were natural enemies of new ideas.
During the Age of Enlightenment people believed that the reasoning of men could free them of their ills, and lead to peace security and good government. It was believed that reason would ensure the progress of humanity, and change the corrupt environment of the 18th century. Human reason could be used to combat misguided traditional thinking, customs, and old ideas that kept people subjugated in ignorance, superstition and tyranny. Truth and freedom would enable individuals to build a better world. The Enlightenment introduced critical thinking to replace the dead weight of tradition, and challenge the blind faith in institutions.
The legacy of the enlightenment is the scientific method, which includes knowledge that observations are prone to error and bias, so experiments need to be replicated by independent researchers. In addition, there is a peer review process to ensure proper documentation of procedures available for scrutiny. These processes ensure the steady advance of new ideas.
Corporations have adopted misinformation programs developed by the tobacco industry over the past five decades. The process clouds scientific understanding of the of the issue, which enables corporations to work behind the scene to gain access to key decision makers. The tobacco industry used this effectively to undermine tobacco legislation and hold back anti-smoking legislation for decades.
These tactics include introducing manufactured uncertainty by raising doubts about the most indisputable scientific evidence . This confuses individuals and legislators and prevents and delays action or mitigation on the issue. For change to occur, there is a need to know with certainty that information is correct.
The freedoms identified for individuals during the enlightenment are now threatened. Corporations undermine movements for change, not by rejecting science, but by selectively funding it. This includes manipulating the media to discredit scientific research and influence governments with respect to specific agendas. Now reason is used to undermine principles of the enlightenment. In addition, deregulation involves underfunding agencies that require science to monitor the safety of the environment, and products available for public consumption.
At time when evidence based decision-making is considered a standard, global corporations have processes in place to undermine science and hold back change. The mantra of minimal government and regulations favour these processes. Today, it is necessary to factor industry-funded denial and skepticism in when evaluating many issues, including climate change, environmental reforms, and financial reform.

Titanium implants are routinely used for bone fractures as well as dental work. It has recently been shown that titanium-based implants both corrode and degrade, generating metallic debris. There is some concern over the increased concentrations of circulating metal-degradation products derived from these implants, and their potential harmful biological effects over a period of time, including hepatic injury and renal lesions. In order to assess the implications of these 'leaks', it is essential to accurately measure the basal, normal levels of titanium in the bloodstream, as well as quantify how much higher levels are in patients with implants.
Nuevo-Ordónez and team collected blood from 40 healthy individuals and 37 patients with titanium implants - 15 had tibia implants, eight had femur implants, and 14 had humerus implants (eight internal and six external fixation implants). They used their new method, based on isotope dilution analysis and mass spectrometry, or IDA-ICP-MS, to analyze the blood samples.
They found that control individuals had very low levels of titanium in the blood whereas titanium concentrations were significantly higher for all the patients with implants. The sensitivity of the method was such that the researchers were also able to show significant differences in titanium levels for different types of bone fixation devices. The more invasive implants shed more metallic debris into the blood than the external, superficial designs. The work also identified how the titanium from the implants is transported in the bloodstream and potentially distributed and accumulated.
The authors conclude: "The simplicity of the methodology based on isotope dilution analysis and the accuracy and precision of the obtained results should encourage the use of the proposed strategy on a routine basis."

Blasphemy - Blood Upon the Altar + Bonus CD
CD version includes "Blood Upon the Soundspace" rehearsal as bonus.
(Description by J. Campbell)
Although Blasphemy's recorded output was limited, its endurance over the last three decades is a testament to its originality and extremity, and it all began with the Blood Upon the Altar demo. The band's origin was unremarkable but auspicious. In 1984, founding members Nocturnal Grave Desecrater and Black Winds and 3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity, who lived near one another and were already acquainted, began playing music together, mostly working on cover songs. They soon recruited Caller of the Storms and Black Priest of the 7 Satanic Blood Rituals to complete the original lineup. After briefly adopting the name Antichrist, the band eventually settled on the simple and iconic name Blasphemy and began writing songs. They refined their sound and focused their songs during live rituals over the next several years, although the lineup would fluctuate slightly when Black Winds did a brief stint in jail, and Bestial Savior of the Undead Legions briefly assumed bass duties. Black Winds soon rejoined the fold, and Blasphemy entered Fiasco Bros. studio in 1989 with an $800 budget. They emerged having produced one of the most devastating demo recordings ever made. Blood Upon the Altar ushered in a new style of Black Metal, no less dark or evil than their contemporaries, but more confrontational, more violent. In addition to being heavily inspired by Bathory, Sodom, and Slayer, Blasphemy also drew from the punk infused Brazilian scene, especially Sarcófago, as well as Grindcore bands like Blood and Genocide (Repulsion). The resultant mixture of these influences yielded a demo that established a new standard for extremity in Black Metal, a bar that Blasphemy would continue to raise with each subsequent recording. This edition of Blood Upon the Altar marks the first time since its original release that it has been properly featured as a stand-alone album. For far too long, this demo was tacked as bonus tracks onto the end of the Gods of War album, leaving the impression that Blood Upon the Altar was of lower stature; in fact, for many, Blood Upon the Altar is the most powerful Blasphemy release of all. Additionally, many of the earlier reissue editions of this recording had long gaps between the tracks owing to an improperly prepared digital master, but that flaw has been corrected with this version, which was also remastered by James Plotkin to ensure the best possible sound. Finally, the original demo artwork once again adorns the cover of this LP, which also features a full-color gatefold. In every respect, this version—a joint release by NWN! and Ross Bay Cult—seeks to restore Blood Upon the Altar to its original status as one of the most significant Black Metal recordings of all time.

I'm really excited to have fellow Harper Impulse author Nic Tatano join me for Meet the Author this week.
His latest novel, Boss Girl is released on Thursday February 20th through Harper Impulse but, for now, why not read on and find out a little bit more about the man himself...
Was it always your intention to find an agent/publisher, or did you ever think about, or indeed go down, the self-publishing route?
I've taken all routes, as I think writers need as many hooks in the water as possible. I had an agent for a while, and when we parted ways I sent my work directly to publishers, which is how I got my contract with HarperCollins. (Which blows up the myth that you need an agent to get a book deal.) I've also self-published my political thrillers and a couple of journalism textbooks.
Do you listen to music while you write, or are you someone who needs complete silence to work?
Well, this will probably sound strange, but I listen to sports talk radio when I write (WFAN in New York) or have a baseball or football game on television. I rarely listen to music anyway, and it distracts me as I find myself singing the lyrics in my head. Complete silence drives me crazy.
Do you have a designated "work space", and if so, can you describe it?
The work space moves throughout the day, since I use a laptop. I do a lot of writing in the kitchen, since I cook every day. If it's cold, I write by the fireplace. If it's nice outside, I write on the deck. I love the flexibility of having a moveable work space.
Do you put any of yourself into any of your characters?
Well, since I'm a guy and my main characters are always hot redheads, I guess the answer would be no.
Do you plan your stories before you start writing them, or do you just "wing" it?
I've never outlined anything. I get a basic plot in my head, know how it ends, but have no earthly idea how I'll get there. I like to be surprised as much as the reader and when you wing it that happens a lot. I truly believe the story is already worked out in your subconscious, and that's why things always seem to fall into place.
What advice would you give to anyone just starting out on their writing journey?
Read a bunch of books from different genres. Even if you plan to write in only one, your subconscious will pick up different styles and tricks that will all eventually become little elements in your own voice.
And regarding your unique voice, remember that your pure voice comes out in your first draft. The more you edit, the more you suck the life out of your voice. Some writers edit their work so much they end up with a grammatically correct manuscript with no voice. Remember, people don't speak in grammatically correct sentences, and your characters shouldn't either. Fuhgeddaboudit!
Can you tell us anything about any future projects you're working on?
Right now I'm working on book two of a Young Adult series, the first of which is scheduled to be released in mid-March. It's about a group of high school seniors with paranormal abilities. And when I finish that one, I have another RomCom I need to start. I like the variety of bouncing between genres.
You're having a dinner party, which 4 people – living or dead – would be your ideal guests?
William Shatner, Frank Sinatra, Leonardo daVinci, JFK (Sinatra, daVinci and I do the cooking)
You've been given carte blanche to go on any chat show you wish to plug your latest book – which one do you choose, and why?
I would go on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Many years ago I was on a media junket in which reporters went to Hollywood to interview a bunch of stars, and I ended up at Jay Leno's house one afternoon. He was incredibly nice and spent two hours with us. We even got a tour of his classic car collection. He was definitely the nicest celebrity I've ever met.
Favourite TV character, past or present.
Captain Kirk from my all-time favorite show, Star Trek. Routinely saved the universe while having time to chase the alien babe of the week. I never tire of watching those old episodes and have been to numerous Star Trek conventions. (But no, I do not own a pair of Spock ears or a Starfleet uniform. I have to draw the line somewhere.)
Boss Girl - Blurb
Sydney Hack is the single, thirtysomething VP of news for a failing network… and she also has a taste for younger men.
With nothing to lose she does the unthinkable; along with three female managers who happen to be her best friends she brings out the casting couch and turns it into a sleeper sofa. Doesn't matter that the men have no television experience. As long as they look good. And there's a hint of romance in every newscast.
Ratings skyrocket as a result, but Sydney and her female cohorts discover something else along the way…
True love is not always age appropriate.
Boss Girl is released on Thursday February 20th, but you can pre-order your copy HERE!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, Nic, on what must be a busy week for you. Wishing you loads of luck with Boss Girl!
And you can check out Nic's dream cast for Boss Girl right here on Fantasy Cast Friday, this Friday!

Weird old Mrs. Egremony tells Abegale to find a "medicine" book her grandmother left behind. Though, it appears Mrs. Egremony may need Abegale's help locating Grandma Rose, herself. When Abegale finds the hidden book, along with mystical cards she's never seen before, memories of her grandmother surface, and shed light on who her grandmother really was. She learns about strange uses for plants and weeds, including the desmodium adscendens her grandmother disappeared searching for. Abegale becomes determined to pick up where her grandmother left off: find the plant, and save her brother.
Guided by deer, a crow, and dreams she can't explain, Abegale and her friends are led to her grandmother's forgotten cottage in the woods. Abegale, is horrified when she discovers Grandma's cottage transformed into a foie gras factory. It's polluting the aquifer and could devastate the small town of Three Points. Abegale figures out a plan that might save her town from the environmental nightmare, despite threats from the illegal factory workers.
While reading through the mysteries of her grandmother's medicine book to help Jeremy, Abegale discovers where her grandmother disappeared. And she'll need weird old Mrs. Egremony's help to bring her home, who also needs Abegale's help. But if they don't act quickly and clear Grandma's cottage before the next solstice, Grandma Rose will be trapped between the fabric of space and time for eternity.
I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
I sure don't want to meet weird old Mrs. Egremony, without my best friend Stephanie with me--it's her landlady after all. The way she stares at me creeps me out. But she says she knew my grandmother. And told me to come alone.
The Maiden Villas sit on the highest peak of Pine Crest. It's a tough hill, even though Stephanie moved in two weeks ago, I'll never get used to the almost 90 degree climb. It's like a vulture's hideaway. Stephanie and I joke how Mrs. Egremony slinks around her garden stalking prey.
I have stand on my pedals to reach the top of Ridge Road. Heaving and pedaling, harder and faster, swaying and dipping low, a black crow swoops in front of me. I swerve, and nearly crash, banging my knee against the handle bar, but catch myself before the asphalt met my face. The crow lands in a tree branch. He's watching me, and laughing, I swear. Thinking it'll return to finish the job, I race out of there, and up the hill.
The old Cabins became the bright white Maiden Villas when Mrs. Egremony took over. The cottages hide under a shadow of giant oak trees and tangled vines. I leave my bike on the side of Mrs. Egremony's "villa" It's unusual she's not in the garden. I ring the doorbell, looking around for suspicious crows. There's no answer.
I know she's just an old woman, but something's not right.

The Chennai heat is just just soo bad right now
The Chennai heat is just just soo bad right now, I can't think of sarees, and I miss wearing it. Hope to catch up soon. In the meantime, here's a pic from a year back. Me in my iyer kattu. All nine yards tucked in neat and smooth for a funtion at home. Sumangali prarthanai. Celebrating the sumangalis. One of the very beautiful of our customs.
Well this was shot after the rituals and we are ready to tuck in full meals. I am wearing a cotton sungdi saree and spunked it a bit with some junk neckpiece. Sumangali pooja is all about gold, sindoor, bangles, mallipoo and works. And here I am at my "ikkri-pikkiri" best.

Uniqueness of copper
Copper is a beautiful, durable and timeless material with unique properties and performance benefits.
» Durability and maintenance freedom due to the corrosion protection provided by the patina in any atmospheric conditions.
» Exceptional, indefinite lifespan demonstrated over hundreds of years, and without underside corrosion issues.
» Cost-efficient substrates and low 'whole-life' costs.
» Easy malleability at any temperature and no brittleness in cold weather.
» Low thermal movement and high melting point, which prevents stretching in hot weather.
» Usability as flat, curved or faceted design at any inclination or pitch.
» Non-toxic processing and impressive antimicrobial properties, also ideally suited for contact surfaces inside buildings, e.g. door handles and light switches.
» Good use in conjunction with other high-quality materials.
Architectural opportunities
Copper was one of the first metals used by man and is one of our oldest building materials. With the onset of the 20th century and the international modernist movement came a transformation from copper's historic role as a durable roofing material to a flexible architectural skin over any surface, including walls.
As a result, modern architects have focused on copper as a layer covering entire surfaces in order to enhance buildings' form and maintain material continuity.
Furthermore, there is growing interest in the use of copper for interior design.
