Just about to make this but with the speedy way to make hollandaise sauce.
Eggs Benedict Florentine with Creamy Butter Sauce
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons clarified butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bunch kale, cleaned and leaves torn into pieces
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 large eggs, poached
4 whole wheat English muffins, toasted
Special equipment: heat-proof thermometer
1. For the sauce: Place the corn starch in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or use a double boiler) over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the water, buttermilk, and eggs, mixing well.
3. Add the buttermilk mixture to the corn starch, and whisk until combined.
4. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and bubbly and reaches 160 degrees, about 7 minutes or so.
5. Add in the clarified butter, whisking until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.
6. For the kale: Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. (At this point, I also got the water ready to poach the eggs.)
7. Add the kale leaves (I added mine in small batches), stirring until the kale is dark green and wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
8. Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds or so.
9. To assemble the dish: Top each toasted English muffin with a few tablespoons of the cooked kale/garlic mixture, a poached egg, and a few tablespoons of the butter sauce. Serve immediately.
I found a really great website called "Simply Recipes" and is full of simple recipes and ideas so:-
If you don't want to go to too much trouble with the sauce try this hollandaise sauce done by blender. Looks simple and easy to me.
Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce
3 egg yolks (see how to separate eggs)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (if using salted butter, skip the added salt)
1 Melt the butter slowly in a small pot. Try not to let it boil – you want the moisture in the butter to remain there and not steam away.
2 Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne (if using) into your blender. Blend the egg yolk mixture at a medium to medium high speed until it lightens in color, about 20-30 seconds. The friction generated by the blender blades will heat the yolks a bit. The blending action will also introduce a little air into them, making your hollandaise a bit lighter.
3 Once the yolks have lightened in color, turn the blender down to its lowest setting (if you only have one speed on your blender it will still work), and drizzle in the hot melted butter slowly, while the blender is going. Continue to buzz for another couple seconds after the butter is all incorporated.
4 Turn off the blender and taste the sauce. It should be buttery, lemony and just lightly salty. If it is not salty or lemony enough, you can add a little lemon juice or salt to taste. If you want a thinner consistency, add a little warm water. Pulse briefly to incorporate the ingredients one more time.
Store until needed in a warm spot, like on or next to the stovetop. Use within an hour or so.

Local vs. Meatless: Better Choice
A study discovers the climate impacts of food choices.
June 23, 2011
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have answered the question of whether locally sourced food or eating meat less often is better for the environment. The winner? Going veg. A 2008 study that resurfaced in the news this week analyzed the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with food production and distribution, and found that while food is transported thousands of miles, only 11 percent of a US household's carbon footprint for food is from the transportation of that food; 83 percent is from growing and producing it and four percent is final delivery (from producer to store). Red meat is the worst of the bunch, requiring 150 times more energy to produce than even chicken or fish. "Thus," the abstract states, "we suggest that a dietary shift can be a more effective means of lowering an average household's food-related climate footprint than 'buying local.'"

2016 Brisbane CDI Behind The Scenes School Tours
Behind the scenes school tours will be available once again at the 2016 Brisbane CDI. Running from 14-17 July, the Brisbane CDI offers 4 days of exciting and elegant dressage competition, fantastic equestrian shopping in the extensive trade village and more!
The tours are only available on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 July, one morning and one afternoon on both days- first in best dressed! The behind the scenes school tours have been extremely popular in previous years, so make sure you book early! For further information about these tours, contact Cathy Binz at [email protected]
Feedback from schools who took the behind the scenes tour in 2015:
Pullenvale State School: "In 2015, Pullenvale SS took our new team- five students, two staff and our equestrian parents to the Brisbane CDI school tour. The students had the most inspirational day, meeting many of their heroes, including Heath Ryan, the gorgeous Friesian Django and Tor van den Berg.
The children were provided with informative sessions by a range of experts, including event organisers, stewards, vets and judges.
Students were also very excited to receive a sample bag, including a voucher, which they had loads of fun spending at the fabulous CDI trade village.
A memorable quote from our lovely judge's talk is one I now use often- 'Remember, every time you enter on that centre line just how lucky you are to be there'- inspirational indeed!
Thank you to the wonderful Cathy Binz for all of her coordination, much appreciated.
We will be back in 2016 for sure!"
John Paul College: "It was a fabulous day... So well run with lots of highlights for the girls. They got to meet some fantastic riders. Heath Ryan took the time to really talk with the girls taking lots of photos with them and the Stallion Django and his owner as well. I would highly recommend the day and we will definitely be requesting to attend again this year as we have some new riders on our team and I'm sure they would love it as well. A Fun and exciting day for the team!!"

Dandelions and Borage
The other day I was out in the front yard battling some dandelion for territory on behalf of the borage. I confess I was not in a great mood. My to-
d o list is longer than the rake handle, and the
faster I work the further I seem to fall behind. Last week I didn't even get to
write a short story. The kids need to get ready for their next activity, dishes
pile up, and dreams of a writing conference dance (or loom—depending on the
day) on the horizon. There is so much work to do.
Gardening, like most work, can be a thankless thing that promises an eventual reward to the loyal. Creaking in my knees and the grunts that come with getting up from the ground these days have made me want to swap my loyalty for a hammock and an iced tea
But my poor neighbors have put up with my landscape skills long enough.
And the borage really needs some breathing room. .
I wedged my garden knife beneath the collar of dandelion leaves and leveraged as much of the roots out of the ground as I could. There's really no winning with dandelions, only patience.
When I popped it up and tossed the offending plant onto the path to my door, it made a "
splorch-clink" sound. That caught my attention because dandelions
usually make more of a "plop."
There were a candle holder and some kind of smashed confection beneath the clay-speckled root-ball of the dandelion. I looked around, searching for the disaster's owner. When I saw no one, I wondered if this was some foolish prank, which I did not have time for.
I set down my knife and scooted closer to inspect the mess. I righted the milk glass candlestick holder. I sifted the scraps and found they were the remnants of a miniature cake.
A little voice came from somewhere near the lace-leaf maple. "Oh, no!"
When I looked up, the first thing I noticed was the bright blue ankle-length dress that the sprite wore over her purplish frame. Now, having
"I'm sorry," I said to the sprite. "I think I ruined your cake."
She flitted from the tree over onto the path to inspect the damage more closely. The concern on her face reminded me of someone beside the road surveying an engine after a car accident, helpless to repair the loss.
"Thorough in all things, you've quite destroyed it," she said, running her fingers through the short white wiry hairs on her head. Her posture slumped a little.
I had wasted enough time on whatever foolishness this was. "Well, if you didn't want it crushed, you shouldn't have left it in a walkway."
Her eyes widened and her bottom lip popped forward as she drooped her head. "I... made it for you. It's for taking care of my flower." She barely moved as she lifted a slender finger and aimed it directly at the borage. "I.::sniff::.. I was trying to surprise you."
To my extensive list of faults, I offer one more. That is the inability to describe the vast degree to which I felt like a complete and utter jerk.
I dropped my gaze. "I'm so sorry. It's lovely."
And it really was. I scooped the confection up to look at it more slowly. My carelessly flung weed had landed right on top of the most intricate petit four I have ever seen. Layers of buttercream and sponge alternated with a delicate stream of spring berry jam. Ribbons of sugar had flourished the top. The whole design had culminated in two periwinkle-blue star-shaped flowers before I destroyed it. Clay, grit, and debris poked into the layers and spoiled the appearance of the buttercream. The delicacy and care with which she made it humbled me. How had I missed it the first time?
I looked up at the sprite who smiled at me from behind the lace-leaf maple.
I popped the beautiful little confection in my mouth, dirt and all, which did little to hurt the flavor. It was too good to
Her chin lifted, "I'd love to!" then she hesitated. "If you're not too busy?"
"The weeds will still be here when I get back." I shrugged, then gestured to the front door.
She floated beside me as I walked inside, then said, "There's no winning with dandelions, you know, only patience."

City Councilwoman Anna Brosche got off to a quiet start, but her campaign to unseat Mayor Lenny Curry is beginning to show signs of life with a month before the start of early voting.
Brosche, a Republican, announced Monday that she's hired Scott Arceneaux, a political consultant and former head of the Florida Democratic Party, to advise her campaign. He will bring a much needed Democratic perspective into Brosche's camp, as she must attract strong support from Democrats to prevent Curry from winning the March 19 election outright and advance to a runoff.
She also is raising money. Her state political committee will not report its first month of fundraising until Feb. 11, but a campaign spokeswoman said that she's raised roughly $345,000. She has $60,000 in her campaign account, which is bound by donation limits but can buy media advertising at cheaper rates than a political committee, which can receive unlimited sums of money from donors.
None of these developments alone are game changers, and while Brosche worked to jump-start her campaign, Curry spent the last month extending his monumental fundraising lead and attacking Brosche's City Council record with a flurry of television advertisements.
Curry raised nearly $1 million through his political committee in January and spent $346,000 on media advertising, according to campaign finance records. So far, he's raised $4.2 million through his political committee and has $2.7 million in hand. He has another $408,000 in his campaign war chest.
Curry's fundraising report for next month could also be impressive: Casey DeSantis, the wife of Gov. Ron DeSantis, attended a fundraiser for Curry on Monday at the San Jose Country Club, and Jaguars owner Shad Khan will host another this week, according to reports from Florida Politics.
Since financial disclosures aren't available from Brosche's political committee, it's unknown who donated to it and the amount of money it has spent.
Brosche came into the election late, announcing Jan. 11 she would challenge Curry, the last possible day she could do so. She raised no money for her campaign prior to entering the race. She has yet to buy television or radio spots.
Brosche will stick to grassroots campaigning, like speaking with voters and attending church services, until election day gets closer.
"We are very, very happy about where she is right now," said Ryan Wiggins, a consultant and spokeswoman for Brosche's campaign. "We have the realization that Lenny has had years to build a war chest. She's been in the campaign for a month now."
Wiggins said Arceneaux, who worked on Hillary Clinton's Florida campaign in 2016 and Andrew Gillum's bid for governor last year, will help craft a message that appeals to Democrats as well as moderate Republicans.
Arceneaux is familiar with Jacksonville politics. He's a longtime resident of Duval County, and as the chairman of the Florida Democratic Party, he worked with former Mayor Alvin Brown's campaign during his 2011 victory and defeat in 2015.
However, helping a Republican get elected is new ground for him.
"I think it's exciting. She's a Republican that Democrats can get excited about," he said. "She has a lot of support from Democrats across the city, and many reached out to me about helping."

There's the free storage, of course, but that's almost a dime a dozen these days. What makes Dropbox stand out is its excellent functionality. This is drag and drop cloud computing at its best.
Dropbox isn't a completely secure enterprise function, but it is secure enough for basic file sharing of data that requires medium-level security. And, at that level, its functionality is superior to competitors. There's a reason that Dropbox is the name most people associate with Cloud sharing.
Dropbox isn't expensive business management software. It's just a free, simple file sharing tool that enterprises can utilize for file sharing of non-critical data. There's no "feature creep" in Dropbox, because it already works and no one's trying to sell you anything.
In an IT environment where enterprises are faced with a multitude of choices between competing technologies that cost money and may or may not improve productivity, Dropbox is the proverbial no-brainer. It is a guaranteed outcome of a valuable tool for no expense.
IT decision-makers are faced with a daunting task–guiding an IT course in an era where two years old is ancient. So many decisions. So many possibilities to make the wrong choice. Dropbox is the easy right choice.
Ask yourself. What's one good reason not to use Dropbox? No reason at all.
- It works.
- It adds value.
- Its free.

Malgudi Restaurant @ Section 16
If you follow my blog, you guys should know that I am a crazy lover of Briyani. I was really looking forward for a place that serve delicious Briyani. So when my friend recommend this restaurant to me for their Briyani. I quickly wanted to give it a try. I went to Malgudi with my friend, Boyfriend and Sister for dinner. Malgudi is located at Section 16 and you can see the restaurant from the road, so it is easier to locate the place or try to Waze for the location as it is located in a neighbourhood area. They serve both North Indian and South Indian Cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant was simple and comfortable. A couple of people occupied the restaurant when we arrived but it started filling up around 8.30pm. I ordered Vegetable Briyani, Garlic Naan, Butter Naan, Mutton Briyani and Paneer Butter Masala.
We were served with complimentary papdum after they took our order.
Panner Butter Masala is one of my favourite dish in an Indian Restaurant. Soft cubes of paneer cooked in a rich, thick and flavoured gravy.
Panner Butter Masala @ RM 9
Mutton Briyani is absolutely sensational and it smells great. The meat was tender, juicy and it gives a beautiful flavour to the Briyani.
Mutton Briyani @ RM 18
I love the spices in the Briyani and it was beautifully balanced by the raita.
Vegetable Briyani @ RM 9
Vegetable Briyani @ RM 9
Soft, light and has a very good garlic flavour. It can be eaten alone without any sauce or gravy.
Soft, light and easier to chew. It goes well with Paneer Butter Masala.
Butter Naan @ RM 4
It was a delicious dinner for us. Good service, delicious food and very easy to a get car parking that I loved (No need to waste our energy and time). 1 Briyani + 1 Naan is more than enough for 2 person if you are a small eaters.
Good News: They do have foodpanda delivery service. You can order it online and deliver them on your doorsteps. I think, I should give them a try next time.

Now you will have this long listing of on-line courses covering various topics and in some cases a numbers of courses associated to the identical on-line topic. The NCES and BSRG report that almost all of schools and universities now offer on-line courses. Before online degree packages will be accredited, unbiased organizations should carefully consider their curricula, faculty, technology, and other practices to ensure they meet strict high quality standards.
Free programs don't normally come with certificate of completion, but they are still more than helpful for anybody who desires to be taught from prestigious educators. For applications that only have one cohort begin per yr, students who miss 1 / 4/semester might have to wait an entire year earlier than continuing their program.
– Voiceover In this course we'll be discussing on-line training. Regardless of these scalability hiccups, development of every kind of online courses will probably be explosive. The common tuition for on-line programs is dependent upon a number of elements, so it varies from one program to another.
The advantages of attending accredited online degree programs can prolong into the workforce the place employers and licensing agencies incessantly establish minimum schooling standards. Online graduate certificates help bachelor's and grasp's diploma holders enhance sure skills.
All facets of the course are accomplished online, including: the sharing of sources, discussions, accessing and submitting assignments, administering assessments and delivering feedback. The NCES experiences that bachelor's degrees are by far the most typical credential college students earn online.

It's hard to know where your new car comes from these days. Although a certain brand may be European in its origin, it's likely that certain models aren't actually being built in Europe. This is the case with some German cars that come out of either the United States or South Africa. Volvo, which has traditionally been a Swedish brand, will soon be built at three Chinese plants if new owners Zhejiang Geely Holding Group have their way.
The Chinese bought Volvo from Ford Motor Co. in August and expect to manufacture up to 300,000 of the cars at three plants planned for China.
So far the company has not confirmed the plans (which will need approval from Volvo's board as well as the Chinese government), but is looking at the southwestern city of Chengdu, the Jiading district and the northeastern city of Daqing for possible plant locations.
Although it's likely that all Chinese produced Volvos will be for the domestic market to start with, in the near future it may be very likely that Australia will source its Volvos from China. So the question has to be asked, would you buy a Chinese built Volvo?

Spider-Man: Homecoming's Hilarious 'Rappin' With Cap' PSAs Offer a Glimpse of the Post-Avengers MCU
Chris Evans may not have had a huge role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but his Captain America PSAs were one of the highlights of the movie. Throughout Peter Parker's high school gym classes, there was seemingly a Cap public service announcement for everything. But it turns out that Evans filmed more clips than we saw in the final movie. The Spider-Man: Homecoming digital release has several additional Captain America videos shot by director Jon Watts. They're not only really funny to watch, but they also offer an intriguing look at what life is like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the pilot episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Maria Hill says "The Battle of New York was the end of the world. This, now, is the new world." Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes had a similar sentiment at the beginning of Spider-Man: Homecoming when he looked over a child's drawing of the Avengers in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of New York. The Avengers aren't just superheroes, they're celebrities. And aside from Iron Man, Cap might be the most popular member of the team. That's because his legend dates back to World War II, and he was literally "The First Avenger." Finally, some truth in advertising!
We have a theory about these PSAs, and where they fit within the MCU's timeline. Cap's costume appears to be the one that he wore in The Avengers, and he must have filmed them some time after the Battle of New York. Prior to that, Cap was keeping a low profile. Another telltale sign is how upbeat Steve Rogers is in these clips. There's no sign of the cynicism that had clearly set in by the beginning of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Instead, Steve slipped right back into the showman routine he had when he first became Captain America. It's funny, and a little depressing to think about how his worldview has been shattered in just a few short years.
Cap is so earnest in these PSAs that it is almost impossible not to laugh at him. Even he looks like he can barely keep from chuckling, but that may just be Evans' personality shining through the character. Perhaps the most hilarious part of the video comes when Cap has to talk about sex education, and he can't even make it through ten seconds of that particular PSA without freezing. But we have to give the man a pass for that one, because it had been about 70 years since his last kiss!
There is still some question about how much the public knows about Captain America's current status in the MCU. Peter's gym teacher, Coach Wilson, mentions something about Cap being a war criminal, but he still looks ridiculously happy standing next to the TV stand when it plays a PSA. We guess that if you defeat the Nazis, Hydra, and turn back an alien invasion, you kind of get a pass on the Sokovia accords from the general public.
Spider-Man: Homecoming will hit Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, October 17.

Gustav the Kuvasz
February 23, 2012
This is the tale of an old Hungarian kuvasz sheepdog who lost his job due to downsizing, forcing him into early retirement at the tender age of ten. The only bit of his past we know is that he was born in a barn in central Tennessee, tossed from home to home honing his guarding abilities for four years before landing a career job on a sheep farm in a small town outside of Wainfleet.
The sheepdog grew up without much interaction with people, but he got all the companionship he needed from his sheep.
His humans were kind, but not affectionate and the nameless sheepdog carried on guarding his sheep. Years and years passed while the sheepdog protected his flock from all sorts of dangers including coyotes, foxes and wolves. This kuvasz is a known killer, but only to protect.
For years the kuvasz spent all seasons in a open fields protecting his sheep until one morning the old dog watched in confusion as the sheep were loaded into trucks and driven away. The sheepdog had never set a paw inside a house nor knew the comfort of a soft bed, but at least he'd had his sheep.
Confused the old sheepdog lay down beside the wagon and waited for the sheep to return. The human came over and fastened a heavy chain around his neck and tied the other end to the wagon leaving the old sheepdog alone.
Without any sheep the old sheepdog put his head down and drifted off into a deep sleep. Winter was coming and the old sheepdog lay chained to the wagon for months. He would crawl under the wagon when the winter rains became heavy laying in the cold damp earth.
One day the humans came and unhooked the chain from the wagon and put the old sheepdog into the back of a truck and started driving. It was a long nerve wracking drive for the old dog.
At another farm the old sheepdog was pulled from the truck and as he stood confused in the driveway a woman came over and patted his head.
Perhaps it was fear that caused the old sheepdog to stand next to the new lady and lean gently against her leg nuzzling her hand, but when he licked her palm she stroked his head and called him Gus. Nobody had ever called him anything. He wagged his tail in confused delight.
The man picked up the end of the chain and with some reluctance the old sheepdog followed the man. He pulled the screw out of the chain and released the kuvasz into an open field where the woman was standing quietly watching a horse and two goats.
The horse snorted loudly and the old sheepdog trotted over to lean on the woman and gain comfort from her gentle pats. She murmured something, but the only thing he understood was Gus.
The horse trotted nervously across the field attracting Gus's attention. It was time to give this new animals a good sniff. Suddenly the horse raced off with Gus in hot pursuit. Since neither horse nor dog had youth on their side the race was short lived leaving both animals puffing.
By the time Gus looked back the man and woman were gone. He gave a woof before trotting over to the gate to look for the humans. He howled as he sat by the gate and watched. Sheepdogs are very good at watching.
Several minutes later the kind woman returned with a bowl of kibble and watched as Gus ate. She stroked his head and gently pulled on the mats on his back.
Gus found a dry building and a nest of straw to sleep in that night. He howled several times as the dark lightened to day. In the morning the woman returned with more kibble and scissors to cut out the mats on his back. With some effort she got the tight heavy chain off from around his neck and called him Gus.
During the day Gus checked on his new herd of horse, goat, goat before napping, chain-free in the bright winter sun. He spent another night in the empty shelter on a bed of straw and only howled as dawn broke. The woman came again with more kibble.
Gus moved away as the woman touched his ears and whined deeply in pain. The woman gently examined the ears and the side of his face where the infection had spread. The woman's hands were gentle and she returned with medicine that helped his pain and infections.
During the day Gus managed to get close to the horse and goats. After some discussion it was decided that Gus would be part of the herd as protector and guardian. Gus had a job again. That evening Gus slept between the horns and hooves of his new friends.
Each day the woman would come and bring him up to the big house where she'd treat his wounds, brush his beautiful coat and give him cuddles.
Gus was patient and trusting as he allowed the woman to shave the side of his infected head to reveal bleeding sores and a large angry abscess. The woman was frowning deeply as she gingerly cleaned the wound and gave him pieces of cheese that concealed antibiotics and pain medicine.
In the weeks that followed his wounds healed, his ears were no longer sore and the old sheepdog realized that the woman was meant to be his sheep. He delighted in her presence and would trot with tail high to great her every morning.
No longer alone and with a kind woman to care for him Gus was fed, sheltered and very happy. Who knew a sheepdog could be so happy without any sheep to guard?
Gus today (March 9, 2012)….

Need A Good Read To Start 2018?December 20, 2017
Remember that colorful childhood toy that spins?
Each vane of a pinwheel looks the same and catches the same wind, spinning the wheel around. If one vane is damaged, the pinwheel slows down or stops.
Many think of the pinwheel as a childhood diversion, but when you envision it as a metaphor for delivering great customer service, it means much more.
Delivering it, however, can be daunting – especially in a changing business environment where social media influences buyers. There are also pressures to reduce costs while providing employees with purpose and meaning.
Those challenges, however, should not stop you from plotting a path toward customer service excellence, thereby helping every employee understand the importance of great customer service and his or her role in delivering it with The Pinwheel.

If you are starting out in the world of online casinos, you may think that all virtual casinos are the same, but they are not. Some are better than others in all ways, some are better than others in some things and some are still casinos of which you want to stay as far away as you can. This page lists some of the things to take into account when choosing an online casino, make sure that the online casino has the following characteristics before depositing your own money:
Security and Privacy Policy – The things that are more important than the variety of games offered or the bonuses that are offered are privacy and security policies. A good privacy policy means that the casino uses the most advanced and sophisticated encryption methods and programs so your information is not pirated. This should be mandatory in the casino you choose to play, such as situs judi online.
Check the comments – Thanks to the Internet, you can't only bet online but you can also read about it, be sure not to miss this opportunity and read the comments on the casinos (a great casino to check out is agen sbobet). You can read the experiences that other players have had in different casinos. For reliable reviews, visit the Online Casino Reporting page / online casino reports – You can find reliable information about online casinos, including what are real and what are scams.
License – Any casino in which you play must have a license, you can read about the licenses on the same page – It should appear in one of the sections. If the casino does not include information about your license, look for a different casino.
Games – Look for the casino that offers the games you like, such as Baccarat, Video Club Poker Online, Roulette, Progressive Jackpots, Slots, Blackjack or any other game in the broad spectrum. Most casinos offer hundreds of games, so it should not be a problem finding the desired game on a page with the necessary security measures.
Software – The best virtual casinos use best software / programs. Playtech and Microgaming are two of the gaming and betting software companies that partner with the most respectable casinos like NetBet Casino and others. If you see any of these names (usually at the bottom of the screen) you will know that you are in good hands.
Responsible Gaming – As the number of online gamblers increases, so does the number of players with serious gambling addictions. If this is important to you, choose a casino that is committed to responsible juice – this will include figures such as casino self-exclusion or tips to identify addiction.
Downloads versus Flash versions – If you prefer to play with a flash platform instead of a downloadable one, choose a casino that offers this option. If playing with your Android phone is your option, look for an online casino with mobile version.
Support – Make sure that the virtual casino of your choice clearly shows your terms of customer service. Many casinos offer customer support in several languages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Make sure that the casino of your choice offers support in your language, since you never know when you will need to contact them with any questions.

The Importance of Performance Testing
By Greg C. Moriates
From the moment you are born, you are tested by the doctor or nurse to make sure
all functions are a go. Then your doctor has you perform milestone testing during each
developmental period. School begins and your teacher tests your performance in subject
matters and doctors test your biological functions.

Here are a few more quotes that can help you have a fresh perspective on yourself and your life.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. ~Dalai Lama
Civilizations greatest discoveries and inventions have come out of failures, disasters, and mistakes.
Ask yourself "What's good about being where I am right now–all that is happening and isn't happening; all that's gone my way and all that hasn't?" Jot down all the thoughts, impressions, and ideas that come to you. Don't judge them, don't edit them, and don't dismiss any of them! And, nothing is too small or immaterial or "dumb" to include!!
Dreaming is, after all, is a form of planning. ~Gloria Steinem
Now take the ideas you generated from the first quote and plug them into your daydreams and see where they take you!
Let your mind go–have fun!
Your Friend and Pep Pal,

…goes up tomorrow!
So come back!
Yeah, I'm making up for being Twitty.
…goes up tomorrow!
So come back!
Yeah, I'm making up for being Twitty.
I can hear outrage coming from all over the publishing industry. And elsewhere too.
I know I'm a blogger myself, so let me explain.
According to CBS research David Poltrack, only 8 percent of Americans read blogs regularly. That's 24 million people. From a Pew study, 39% of Americans have ever read a blog–57 million.
(I know, it's a bit of a segue, but I've got a dozen other things to do today)
So is it worth the time spent blogging?
For some authors, it most certainly is. If you've found a sizeable readership, then hell yeah! Keep doing it!
But if you don't, maybe it isn't. And it's not a failure on the blogger's part if the blogger fails to attract an audience because goodness only knows what will attracts an audience.
There are many authors who started blogs because their publisher/editor/agent/other authors suggested it. I'll discount the drive-by bloggers who only post about their latest releases every few months here.
I'll give you….Author X! I've seen many Author Xes online, and I'm sure you could probably name a few yourself.
X tries. She does everything blogging gurus tell her to do. Blogs very regularly, does contests, links like mad etc. But she can't find an audience who sticks with her. She's been at this for a year.
Is it worth continuing to blog? Because maybe it isn't.
The Pew study link is courtesy of Tim Worstall (yes, I've been trying to be good and reading blogs on economics but I do not think it's been an edifying experience for me).
1. On a scale of one to ten, rank your current level of insanity–where ten is belongs-in-lunatic-asylum insane–and tell us why.
Now that the silly season (Christmas) is past, I'm somewhere in the 2 range. If I didn't have teenagers to worry about, I'd probably be a 1. Writing keeps me sane. I've told my husband that it is much cheaper than a therapist. As a control-freak, whenever the world gets to me, I start writing. In my stories, if my characters don't do what I tell them to do, they suffer — until they do. So at least in my own little world I am in control — which means I don't have to be in control in the real one.
2. Was it a huge mental shift to write Mercy's books, moving from fantasy to urban fantasy? I've read the Raven duology and Moon Called, and you sound distinctly different in both.
Yes. But it was a good shift, like taking off the tennis shoes which fit just fine when you first put them on, but, throughout the day, they became tighter and tighter. Then when you take them off, there is this great feeling of relief. I was very near burn out, having written Raven Strike in less than six months, and was ready to take a very long break. When Anne, my editor, called to ask if I could write an Urban fantasy, it was like a breath of fresh air: suddenly I had all sorts of stories running around in my head. Great fun. I expect that it will feel as good to switch back to straight fantasy as it did to change to Urban fantasy in the first place.
3. Is her series open-ended, or do you have an ending in mind already? It does look like the longest series you've ever written. Oh and I'm rooting for Samuel. *g*
This is very open-ended. Since there is no over-all plot, I am free to play a bit. Right now I have contracts for two more books (for a total of four) and I'm not getting tired of playing in Mercy's world. I expect there will be more than four books. There is also a possibility of writing books about other characters.
4. Tell us more about the novella in the Ace anthology you're doing with Eileen Wilks, Sunny and Karen Chance. It's about Charles?
Yes. It's working title was "Charles goes to Chicago". My editor thought I should come up with a better one so it's officially "Alpha and Omega". It is the story of what happens when Charles travels to Chicago to deal with Leo, the Alpha who had poor Mac changed and then sold him for experimental purposes. I knew there was a lot more to Charles than Mercy knew about, but he turned out to be even more interesting than I'd thought. Fun stuff — at least for me.
5. You mention on your site that you will consider writing a book with a different protagonist. Do you mean different protagonist, but still set in the same world as Mercy's?
Yes. There are a lot of things Mercy doesn't know — and a lot of stories that I can see telling. I'd like to do a story on whichever werewolf Mercy doesn't end up with, and maybe Jesse, Adam's daughter, when she goes off to college. Or even Zee's son Tad, who has mostly been an "off scene" character (though I have a few scenes I wrote to get into gear that have Tad in them). I don't see myself running out of material very soon. Of course there is always that third Hurog (Dragon Bones, Dragon Blood) book that has been tapping at my subconscious for the last few months . . . I wish I could write faster.
6. Do you think the Mercy books cost you some of the readership you built with your previous books? It is very different from the rest of your work, after all.
Actually, for the most part, that doesn't seem to be the case — though I've had a few people who read Moon Called tell me that they weren't interested in straight fantasy. I've had a lot of people tell me that after reading Moon Called, they read my straight fantasy — and went on to enjoy other people's fantasy as well. I think that most people would actually enjoy a lot broader range of story telling than they think they will.
7. Share with us your New Year's Day resolutions.
Oh goodness. Not to make New Year's Resolutions? That way I can escape the guilt of never, never ever, actually succeeding in any resolution I've ever made.
Patricia Briggs's current release, Blood Bound, should be available in bookstores near you.
I got this because Angie liked it.
And well, it's not a bad book. But Full Moon Rising could have been SHORTER.
I think some of the sex scenes could have been cut, which isn't to say they were gratuitous, just that I found my eyes glazing over each time a new sex scene popped up towards the end of the book. I don't think I can say that they were gratuitous because I didn't actually read them.
I can forgive a lot if you provide me with One Single Character that I desperately want to know about. Doesn't have to be your protag even.
Except that I couldn't find that One Single Character in this book.
This rates 2.5 out of 5.
PS Can someone tell me when Angie reviews the next books in the series so I won't read the reviews and be tempted to buy them?
PPS The UK covers suck big great, hairy balls.
The cover, that is. I've not actually been lucky enough to read Vampire Academy, though Succubus Blues was fab.
I think that the Vampire Academy cover is better. But Richelle tells me that's blasphemy. Is that true?
It can't be, right? After all, I Know All.
PS See Richelle, I told you I talk about you all the time. This is Proof.
PPS In case she decides that I've incurred her Displeasure, I really do love Georgina Kincaid.
RTB's looking for reader columnists. You know, like me. But I'll be blunt: it's a lot easier to say, sure, it's just a post every 6 weeks or so than to actually write one every 6 weeks or so. Speaking of RTB, I've got 2-3 possible ideas for my next one, but if you've got any suggestions, feel free!
To read about the UK book trade, read Scott Pack's blog. Via Kate Allan's Marketing For Authors.
Read Scooper's review of Ninja. I'm not reviewing it because I've read it so many times I couldn't tell you what the flaws are. Also, will someone please tell Racy she's not supposed to be reading reviews?
Via Dear Author, a column in TV Guide by La Nora.
Read Angelle's review of Demon Angel. It's freaky how most people say the same things about this book. I've said this 3 times now. I likey Number 3.
Jaci Burton reviews Succubus Blues. And, hurray, I've got my hands on SDI!
But…sadly, not The Rest Falls Away. My bookseller was wrong, Colleen. I sad sad too. Also, the meme attacked me, you evil person!
I thought I was going to escape this. Just goes to show that my survival instincts are non-existent.
Womens Fiction Book Meme
Contemporary, Historical, or Paranormal?
Paranormal. Duh. *g*
Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback?
Mass market
Heyer or Austen?
Believe it or not, I've not read either.
Amazon or Brick and Mortar?
Brick and Mortar.
Barnes & Noble or Borders?
Borders? Not that I've actually been to the one here in ages.
Woodiwiss or Lindsay?
Back then, it was Lindsay–I think everyone else who's done this meme has said Woodiwiss so far though. I've not read either in years.
First romance novel you ever remember reading?
Can't remember, but it was a historical. Probably Woodiwiss or Lindsay though.
Alphabetize by author Alphabetize by title or random?
Once upon a time, when I was young and had a lot of free time and excess energy, it used to be alphabetize by author, then title.
Now it's random, but signed books/ARCs have a special shelf which getting full.
Keep, Throw Away or Sell?
Call me naive, but I cannot believe people throw away books in perfect condition. That's just wrong, even if you hated the book.
Read with dustjacket or remove it?
Remove. They bug the hell outta me.
Sookie Stackhouse or Anita Blake?
I've read both, and I don't want more of either. I read the first Sookie Stackhouse, and the first 5-6 Anitas, so maybe you could say I'd rather read Anita though.
Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?
Usually it's when the book ends, unless I'm on the train or something.
It was a dark and stormy night or Once upon a time?
Once upon a time. I'd rather read the backstory than about weather.
Crusie or SEP?
Crusie. Without a doubt. It's true I've read more Crusie, but I've read at least 3-4 SEPs, so I can make a fair judgement, for all you SEP fans out there.
Buy or Borrow?
Borrow. I almost wish I read slower because I can't afford to buy enough to feed my reading habit. Even if I bought only exclusively mass-market paperback, my budget would still be 2k (in USD) a year.
Buying choice: Book Reviews, Recommendation or Browse?
Recommendation. If I see a lot of people talking about it, it goes on my list. Not much of a browser any more–my wish list goes everywhere with me now.
Tidy ending or Cliffhanger?
It's enough that the major plots are tied up. Not necessarily the overarching plot of a series though.
Morning reading, Afternoon reading or Nighttime reading?
When I have a spare moment. So I usually read on the train in the mornings, sometimes during lunch and before I sleep if I'm awake enough.
Series or standalone?
I don't care so long the major plot in the book is tied up. It's not like I bother to follow many series beyond the first book anyway.
Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?
Tuff question. I don't know.
I tag Alice Audrey, Racy Li and Edie Ramer.
This is in honor of Jane saying that I live by the Mark Twain philosophy.
1. The Mark Twain philosophy: Whenever you find yourself on the side of majority, it's time to pause and reflect.
2. I suppose it's true. I like to argue.
3. And I like being the underdog. We shall see who can shout louder–probably me because I am loud. Not ladylike at tall.
4. Playing the devil's advocate is fun.
5. I've a long and well-documented history of doing a different question from the rest. That is, given the choice of two questions, I'll probably do the question less people do. This is without discussion, like in exams.
6. So I guess I do see things differently. That's mostly a good thing. Unless, you know, you don't want to get flamed–I've not gotten flamed before, and hope that I never will. But it might be fun. Fun is important to having a happy life.
7. I'd like to think that I do ask interesting questions to the authors who've been kind enough to let me interview them. Maybe 6 helps?
8. I'm very very honest. I'll say the things people don't want to hear, if I think they'll listen. No point wasting my time and energy otherwise.
9. If they don't like what I have to say, they can get lost. Or they can argue intelligently with me. I don't mind. Ask Angie. I've not blocked her from commenting yet. *g*
10. And, well, to keep number 8 true, I think people are mostly
stupid irrational. This applies to me as well.
11. Therefore the majority is probably wrong, and why you should be on the side of the minority. Be the underdog!
12. This is why I like economics. In your little world, you're right and everyone else is wrong. *g*
13. Gee. I've run out of stuff. Do you know that I've not actually read Huckleberry Finn? Or the book about Tom? Is it the same book? Yeah. My classics education is severely lacking.

Janine talks about The DNF Dilemma on Dear Author.
DNF is not a grade I give out. If I review something, I'm damn well going to finish it, no matter how painful it gets–thank goodness I've not met an ARC that's really painful yet. But I am able to push through to the end with good chocolate in hand. *g* That's my magic fortitude pill!
I know I do this because I write, and if someone reviews something I've written, I'd like to believe that the reviewer read the whole thing. Moreover, sometimes it's "It's not you, it's me", like KristieJ said.
I also feel that DNF has a very very negative connotation and that there are people who think DNF and Wallbanger is the same thing. It's not for me. If it was a wallbanger, believe me, I'd tell the world that it was a wallbanger.
I DNF a lot of literary fiction–I finish maybe 30-40% of literary novels I pick up at the library–because it's not really my kind of thing, despite my obsession with trying to read them. I'm just about ready to DNF an alternate-historical novel–something I hardly ever read. I can't think of a single thing I couldn't stand about the book, but it'd simply be a chore to stick with it.
Sometimes it's voice. This, I think, perhaps one of the most subjective components of writing. I always mention it in a review if I don't like the author's voice, because I figure it skews my grade of the book.
Maybe I'm being too kind. But that can't be right. That's so utterly wrong I must go force myself through that book I mentioned above that I'm about to DNF so that I can write a scathing review.
Also, do comment on Many Questions with NINJA to enter Racy's contest for a copy of NINJA, which is V. good.
1. On a scale of one to ten, rank your current level of insanity–where ten is belongs-in-lunatic-asylum insane–and tell us why.
One. I'm perfectly sane. Ninjas have to be. It's Racy whose bonkers. I'd put her at an eight.
2. What was it like having Racy tell your story? Did she keep trying to make you say overly mushy stuff to Liz?
Racy had to learn many things. Such as the fact that ninjas don't say mushy stuff.
3. Since I want to hear Ninja say mushy stuff, why is Liz the woman for you?
You're almost as bad my sister.
Thanks Ninja! Joy's my role-model!
4. Isn't it wonderful having a sister? Joy sounds like the best little sister in the world!
Joy needs to stop stealing my bike. And she needs to stop dating losers.
5. Is there something about Aikido's philosophy that appeals to you?
Aikido is about meeting aggression with mercy. It's about blending with an opponent's force and momentum, redirecting that power and using it against them, without hurting them. My father was an Aikido black belt, and it embodied who he was.
I practice it as an homage to him. But it's not who I am.
6. So then what martial arts do you practice? What philosophy accurately reflects you?
I'm a shadow walker. I've studied them all. Use what works.
7. How is a shadow walker different from an ordinary ninja?
A ninja is a ninja. But shadow walkers can go anywhere there are shadows.
8. Anywhere?
9. How about the far side of the moon?
Yes. But then there's the problem of breathing.
10. Right. How does one become a shadow walker?
Lots of training, lots of focus. Having shadow walking in the genes, helps too.
11. Why aren't you a part of the superhero organization, the Planetary Protection Agency (PPA)?
Ninjas don't work well with others. Besides, I don't wear spandex.
12. Now, if you're not in the PPA, isn't it difficult having friends who are?
For them perhaps. By law, they are supposed to bring me in.
I'd like to see them try.
13. Do you really think the Jorans invaded Earth because of the Demon Realm, or is it just some nefarious plot to invade Earth?
I don't know why the Jorans invaded Earth. I let superheroes like Centurion worry about the Jorans.
I exist because the Snakehead Triad exists.
14. This is the important question. I'm Racy's critique partner, and I don't know the answer to this question: Who is Racy planning to send off to a Happy Ever After next?
I'm a ninja, not a psychic.
15. Come on, you can tell us. Is it Jasper? *looks hopeful*
That Cossack? He's a fool. But knowing Racy, she won't leave him and Lia alone.
Ninja is the star of Racy Li's fabulous debut from Loose-Id of the same title, which releases today! It's a wonderful book, and if you haven't fallen in love with him already, what's wrong with you? *g*
Full disclosure: Racy is my critique partner.
And and and….there's a contest! A lucky commenter will win a copy of NINJA if you comment before January 30th!
*g* She's just fab.
ETA: More on Vampires
1. On a scale of one to ten, rank your current level of insanity–where ten is belongs-in-lunatic-asylum insane–and tell us why.
Ah! Having saved these questions for one of my saner periods, I'd say I'm hitting around four right now, which is about as low as it ever gets. My craziest times involve synopses, intransigent characters, and, of course, the days or weeks spent in the depths of the deadline cave.
It's so dark in there . . . .
2. How did you come to write Only Human in the Lover Beware anthology?
Dark Matter. Or possibly Dark Energy. I blame them for creativity, the Big Bang, and Happy Meals. (Even Dark Matter doesn't get it right every time.) And what are these Darks, you ask? If the greatest astronomers and physicists of our time don't know what Dark Matter and Dark Energy are, aside from the fact that our universe contains a helluva lot of both of them . . . well, I can't be expected to explain them, can I?
3. Did you change much, in terms of worldbuilding, when you rewrote Only Human into Tempting Danger?
Though the plot changed almost entirely when the story became a book instead of a novella, the world it was set in shifted very little. Mostly I was able to peel back some of the layers I'd desperately wanted to explore earlier–layers that wouldn't fit in the confines of a novella.
4. I've read many Chinese characters in books that come off as 'bananas', a derogatory term meaning that they are yellow outside and white inside. But yours don't. What research did you do that you felt helped most?
Oh, a lovely question, as it allows me to brag a bit; I've been deeply gratified by the letters I've received from Asian Americans–and one from a girl in Singapore who's never lived in America–telling me I got it right.
The nonfiction book that helped the most was THE CHINESE IN AMERICA by Iris Chang; I've also hung out on chat boards for Chinese Americans, read fiction by people like Amy Tan, and surfed ads on various sites. (So much of a culture peeps through in its commercials, doesn't it?) Other than that . . . well, I'd wanted to write an Asian character for some time, so I'd been paying attention. I didn't trust myself to try, though, until I had a Chinese American editor–Cindy Hwang, whose feet I kiss (but only metaphorically because, you know . . . yuck.) Anyway, when Lily Yu showed up I asked Cindy to yank me back if I strayed into cliché or inauthenticity.
So far she hasn't yanked. She has answered questions, explained customs, and helped with Chinese phrases. (In case you're wondering, Grandmother speaks Mandarin Chinese. She would, wouldn't she?) So a good deal of the credit for authenticity goes to her.
5. Will you be writing any more Desires? I think the Tall, Dark and Eligible series were the first ever Desires I read.
Thank you! I had intended to keep writing for the line, but Desire veered off in a direction I couldn't follow. The line's guidelines now require arrogant, wealthy heros with a sense of entitlement and a strong external plot that doesn't include suspense or paranormal elements. I can work with a wealthy hero with a touch of arrogance–hello, Rule!–but not the entitlement bit. To me, that means arrogance unencumbered by duty and responsibility. (Your speed may vary.) And no suspense or paranormal? Just not the way my mind works.
6. I saw on your site that you started out writing science fiction. Have any completed manuscripts lying around?
LOL–nothing anyone's ever going to be allowed to see. Trust me. You don't want to. I needed to write a couple of really bad books to get the hang of this storytelling stuff. (Or possibly to absorb more Dark Matter . . . or do I mean Dark Energy?)
7. What's up next for us readers?
The third book in the series, BLOOD LINES (out Jan. 2! Go buy a copy! Heck, buy several!) answers some of the questions left dangling in the first two books. In it, Rule is dealing with the aftereffects of his time in Dis; Lily is trying to keep as much of the world safe as she can; Cullen is pulled away from his dragon hunt; and Cynna is confronted by her past in the form of the teacher who taught her most of what she knows about spellwork . . . and demons. Oh, and Grandmother returns. And Dirty Harry. They're all needed as demons pop up all over and an ancient prophecy is fulfilled.
Beyond that . . . the book I'm working on now (tentatively titled NIGHT SEASON) will focus on Cynna & Cullen, though Rule & Lily have a role, also. You'll also get to know Nathan Hunter and Kai Tallman Michalski–characters from a novella due out this September: "Inhuman" in the anthology ON THE PROWL.
And the book after that will return to Lily and Rule as they deal with . . . well, more aftereffects. Can't say more without giving away some of BLOOD LINES's secrets.
Eileen's new release is Blood Lines. The Inhuman novella in On The Prowl will be released in September.
So when I asked for FP romances yesterday, it seems to me that most of the recommendations have a slightly chicklit tone. Cara Lockwood, Gena Showalter etc…
Now, I do have a copy of CT Adams' and Cathy Clamp's Hunter's Moon, which is written in first person. In an interesting twist, it's in the hero's POV.
I also have a copy of Megan Hart's Dirty, which is in FP and is sort of romance, according to Megan. In terms of voice, Megan's work is more what I'm looking for than, say, Gena Showalter or Adams/Clamp.
But really, what I want to know is, do you think there's a connection with FP romance and the chicklit voice? I shall try to cobble together a RTB post from this.
My hypothesis (I'm so smart…I know so many ten dollar words) arises from anecdotal evidence, so feel free to prove me wrong.
PS I'm still look for recommends if you have any.
I could go look, of course, but I don't have time.
So, I want romances written in first person heroine's point of view.
Um, for this, it has to have a HEA, because what I'm writing needs to have a HEA. And the HEA must be in the book, not several books down the line. Mine's really only a novella, so I must compress and giving me a novel series to learn how to write a novella…Well, I don't think it'll be helpful.
Feel to recommend anyway, but just tell me that the HEA is several books down the line so I won't rush to get them, okay?
I may write on first person romances for my next RTB post, for the deadline loooooooms. It always loooooooms, then it loooooooms, then it looms, then it's here. So you see why I need to get started on it.
Racy and I had a grand plan involving me interviewing the star of her debut novel, Ninja.
Except that despite having read the manuscript twice, I can't think of anything. My brain is on holiday, not because I don't find Ninja (if I spill his real name now, she may kill me, and I've almost typed his real name twice already) interesting.
That is, I can't think of any questions that won't involve spoilers. Because, you know, I've read it twice and it's really good and I hear a certain reviewer has asked for a review copy already. But I don't think that reviewer reads this wee blog, much to my eternal misery–is that syrupy enough for you?
So if you have any ideas, please share.
And will someone tell me what snap thing Jane is talking about?
I'll be studying all day. Most virtuous, I am.
PS I may miss some days blogging this week. Just in case you worry about me, since I do blog more than once a day, despite my attempt to cut it down to once a day last year.
PPS I know, I used to be really virtuous and post reviews, but I've not read anything recently. At least, nothing new. Scott Oden's Men of Bronze is a really thick book that I don't have time for at the moment, and that's what's at the top of my TBR pile.
1. On a scale of one to ten, rank your current level of insanity–where ten is belongs-in-lunatic-asylum insane–and tell us why.
Hmmm… I'd probably go with seven. I think that all writers are at least a little crazy- we'd have to be to get into a business as tough as this one. And if we weren't crazy before we started writing, spending so much time immersed in a fictional world-characters, dialogue, plot concepts- would bump us up the scale at least a few notches.
For me, my craziness probably manifests itself most in (a) the fact that I'm really, really random and following my thought process can be darn near impossible, and (b) the way that I sometimes get really caught up in my
thoughts. If I'm thinking about a story, I pretty much zone out.
The flip side to my craziness is that I do a really good normal-and-sane impression, which leads people to believe that I'm not crazy or weird at all.
2. If you could do it a second time around, would you have signed your first contract? Do you think that if it had come along later, you'd have been better prepared?
I would sign my first contract all over again.
I was lucky in that I had a wonderful agent when I signed my first contract, and even if I wasn't fully prepared for dealing with the legal aspect of the business, she definitely was.
3. Have you ever been tempted to blow off classes because "you have acontract and you need to write but the truth is you really just want to blow off classes and have no looming deadlines"?
Hmmmm… there have been times when the idea of blowing off classes has been tempting, but really, I don't think it would occur to me to blame writing. I keep my two worlds pretty separate, and I almost never write before midnight, so writing never really interferes with classes. Plus, my last two years in undergrad, I was taking mostly seminars in subjects I was really interested in, so I didn't WANT to blow them off, though there may or may not have been a few philosophy lectures that I slept through because I just couldn't drag myself out of bed.
4. You. Don't. Like. Chocolate. I can't believe that! It's got cocoa butter, it's got caffeine, it's got sugar. All three main food groups in one scrumptious package…And you don't like it. What's your ultimate craving?
Right now, my ultimate craving is mexican food. There's not a lot of it here in the UK. In terms of sweets, my favorite are these teeny tiny jawbreakers
that pretty much explode into straight sugar the second you bite down on them. Yummmmm…
5. Your other passion is cognitive science. So all you do is play with primates in the lab? 😉
I used to spend a TON of time playing with monkeys and lemurs- both in the lab and in the wild. There's nothing quite like being on an island with 800 rhesus monkeys, or having a lemur climb you like a tree, and the research always felt like playing, because the lemurs especially loved participating in our experiments and used to fight (literally) over who got to go first. This year, though, I'm working with human adults with and without autism spectrum conditions. I love my new research, but I do miss the primates- I've worked with them pretty solidly for three straight years, so I'm kind of going into monkey and lemur withdrawal.
6. In 2008, your release schedule increases to 3 books in a year. You are also continuing graduate studies simultaneously. Where do you find the time to eat and sleep?
I always find time to eat. I'm a big fan of food (though, I will admit, not a huge fan of English food currently). Sleeping is another story. I have a pretty erratic sleep schedule. Some days, I only sleep a couple of hours a night. After a while, that catches up with me, and I sleep for 14 straight hours. Somehow, it balances out. I'm lucky in that balancing my studies and writing has never been that difficult for me- I research during the day, and then I relax and hang out with friends, and then, after everyone is asleep, I write. I never wanted to miss out on anything- academic, social, or otherwise-because I write, and honestly, I really don't think I have. Writing is something I would be doing whether I was publishing or not. For me, being asked how I balance writing and my research is sort of like asking
someone how they balance school and watching TV.
7. I'm making the assumption here that you intend to continue working in your chosen field of study after you complete a PhD, but don't you want to write full-time? That does seem to be the most popular writer's dream around.
There's a very good chance that I would have to bump my crazy rating to a ten if I wrote full time. I like to be busy. I like to get out and do things and be around people my own age. Writing is a pretty solitary career. It would be different if I was in a different stage of my life- if I had a family or kidsor something else I was really passionate about- but right now, I can't imagine just writing, for two reasons. The first is that, as strange as it may seem, the busier my regular life is, the more productive I am in my writing life. I just got back from a three week Christmas break, and I didn't write
a word, but now that I have to balance it with school work, I'm writing a ton. For me, being busy helps me to write- go figure. The second reason I don't think I could write full time is simply that I write too quickly. I can handle three books a year pretty easily alongside my research career, but if I didn't have research and I did manage to write "full time" (instead of procrastinating full time and writing part time), I would end up with a lot more end product than I could possibly use. I don't want to flood my publisher's desk- or the market. And besides, having a life and passions outside of writing gives me something to write about.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes blogs. Tattoo is out now, and the sequel to Golden, Platinum, will be released in September.
They are different.
Really. I'm not kidding. Believe me, because it makes up most of my reading.
Jane's picked my brain clean, so I picked Heppi's brain and this is what he said:
Then there's the feel thing. A paranormal romance reads different from an urban fantasy novel.
Paranormal romances includes Katie Macalister's Aisling Grey series and MaryJanice Davidson's Betsy series.
Urban fantasy is Lilith Saintcrow's Dante Valentine, Patricia Brigg's Mercy and Rachel Caine's Joanne Baldwin.
You can have an urban fantasy with a developing romance inside. Danny Valentine and Japhrimel, or Joanne Baldwin and David. It doesn't make them a paranormal romance.
You can have a paranormal romance with an urban fantasy feel–see Jeanie London's Retrieval. But the plot, IMHO, puts in more in paranormal romance.
I have no idea whether this makes any sense. Poor Jane got a looooooooong sermon. Betcha she regrets emailing me now.
Now, if I find something to say, I'll write about erotica versus erotic romance on Saturday.
Tomorrow, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, the author of the fabulous Golden, will have her interview posted.
Oh and since Jennifer writes YA… I see Golden as a paranormal, but Holly Black's Valiant and Tithe as urban fantasy.

EW.com reports the Spider-Man star will follow up his role on the daytime soap, General Hospital, with a taste of primetime.
The 31-year-old, who is playing himself, will have a fake romance with Jane Krakowski's Jenna, engineered by their respective agents to boost their profiles.
The Harvey Milk actor (and Columbia grad student) will start filming his episode this week.

As the Port Hills blaze continues, messages of hope and solidarity are swarming social media in the wake of the devastation.
Expressions of admiration for Cantabrians' resilience through yet another tragedy are widespread.
"You have been through so much recently but have never lost your spirit," Twitter user Emma Y says.
And while there's plenty of kindness, Twitter users are expressed their displeasure with rubberneckers impacting relief efforts.
Tim Ackroyd couldn't believe so many people were enjoying "watching the world burn".
Tensions towards Civil Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee are also running hot.
Bronwyn Hayward says she cannot believe Minister Brownlee's pointing the blame at a slow response from Civil Defence, when Cantabrians are desperate for support.

The Meatball Shop Catering
The famous NYC-based restaurant first opened its doors back in 2009 in the Lower East Side by chefs Michael Chernow and Daniel Holzman. The mix-and-match menu of meatballs, sauces and sides was immediately a favorite that lead to five more restaurant openings around the city over the years. Today, The Meatball Shop is a highly recognized New York brand. Since opening, The Meatball Shop has gone through nearly 75,000 gallons of sauce hence expanding their name to include a brand of sauce that can be purchased in jars and found at Whole Foods. But it doesn't stop there… they've produced a "Meatball Shop" cookbook (sold 50,000 copies) as well as branded merchandise like t-shirts and hats. Chernow and Holzman basically founded a new dining category when they made meatballs the star of the plate and truly pioneered a new wave of Italian dining.

Parker & Sons, Arizona's premier home service company, is a close ally of the DIY movement. Parker & Sons, home to the most skilled plumbing, HVAC, and electrical professionals in the Valley of the Sun, is well acquainted with the sense accomplishment that comes with a job well done. Parker & Sons is happy to share some its expertise with handy homeowners who are eager to head below the sink or into the attic to for some Do-It-Yourself work. Parker & Sons offers complimentary home maintenance tips to all the ingenuitive amateurs across Phoenix, who are ready to strap on their tool belts.
Most Phoenix homes rely heavily on their air conditioning units. During the brutally hot summer months, air conditioning units run non-stop. This will put a great deal of strain on the unit. For this reason, it is essential to change air filters on a regular basis. A dirty filter will cause undue wear and tear on a system. Replace dirty filters, or if using reusable ones clean them monthly. Be careful on the ladder though! Slips and falls while performing home maintenance accounts for thousands of injuries every year.
Parker & Sons further advises; clearing clogs in the kitchen can be easy if homeowners know what they are doing. Most kitchen sinks have something called a P-trap underneath them. This is a U shaped bend in the pipe. This P-trap can be removed by unscrewing nuts on both ends of the U. Homeowners should make sure they have placed a bucket or similar receptacle below the P-trap before they remove it. Filth and debris can get caught in the P-trap. A DIY handyman can remove any potential obstacles and return the P-trap to its rightful spot underneath the sink. Now they should have some smoothly running pipes!
"I know when I see a simple job to do around the house, I usually prefer to do it myself. But it is important to avoid getting in over your head. You don't want to end up causing more damage. If you don't know exactly what you are doing, I would recommend calling us up and letting the professionals handle it," said Josh Kelly of Parker & Sons.

B2B marketers have encountered unique hurdles when it comes to interactive marketing. Although B2C companies have experienced great success with social media marketing, B2B's are only recently beginning to establish their presence in the world of online marketing. In addition to social media, content optimization presents a unique challenge for B2B companies. According to research conducted by Chief Content Officer Magazine at IDG Connect, a global research library for IT professionals, B2B buyers "complain the relevance of marketing content has declined by 31% over the past five years."
According to Bob Johnson of CCO Magazine, the answer is personalization ("It's Time to Get Personal." Chief Content Officer Magazine 5 Oct. 2011: 18. Print). "Your organization needs to ask questions that uncover your buyer's role, business issues, buying stage, type and preferred content format – and use that information to create highly customized, effective buying pathways," says Johnson. To get the most out of content, focus on the new 4Ps of digital content:
Profile: If your company produces any publication, it must include profile information to allow readers to judge whether or not it is worth their time.
Personalization: Get information about your buyer's interests (needs, behaviors, learning styles) and use it to customize and improve conversions.
Path: Create clear links from one content asset to another based on personalization (i.e. topic, role, focus, buying stage) to avoid dead ends.
Purpose: "Push for better integration of sales and marketing automation to avoid content silos," says Johnson. Create a content strategy that will drive down cost and increase the engagement intensity of buyers.
The answer to making content relevant again isn't churning out more content, nor is it relying on search engine optimization magic. Build your buyer's confidence with your content – "Each time they visit your site or read your content, you should be engaging in a mutual exchange of value, balancing your desire for more information with your buyer's reluctance to share."

IN RE START ELEVATOR, INC., PETITIONER-APPELLANT,v.THE CITY OF NEW YORK, ET AL.,RESPONDENTS-RESPONDENTS.
Matter of Start El., Inc. v City of New York
Decided on March 14, 2013
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.
Gonzalez, P.J., Tom, Richter, Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen Bransten, J.), entered January 10, 2012, denying the petition to annul the determination of respondent New York City Contract Dispute Resolution Board (CDRB), dated February 28, 2011, which dismissed petitioner's claim due to its untimely filing of a petition to CDRB, and dismissing the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Judicial review of a CDRB determination is limited to the question of whether it was "made in violation of lawful procedure, was affected by an error of law, or was arbitrary or capricious or an abuse of discretion" (9 RCNY 4-09[g][6]). Here, CDRB's dismissal of the petition as untimely was proper. Petitioner submitted the materials in support of its notice of claim in March 2009. Once the New York City Comptroller failed to address this claim within 45 days thereafter, petitioner had 30 days in which to file a petition with CDRB, pursuant to the parties' contract and the New York City Procurement Policy Board (PPB) Rules (9 RCNY 4-09[e][4], [g]). Petitioner, however, petitioned CDRB in November 2010, well after the 30-day period had expired. The court properly interpreted the provision stating that petitioner "may" petition CDRB within that period to require petitioner to do so in order to exhaust its administrative remedies, given that the contract and the PPB Rules provide that the time period is triggered once the Comptroller fails to respond within its 45-day period (see JCH Delta Contr., Inc. v City of New York, 44 AD3d 403 [1st Dept 2007).

On July 22, 2019, Dick Eastman posted in his Eastman's Online Genealogy News blog the following:
Great news! A major genealogy magazine was on the verge of folding. (See my earlier article at http://bit.ly/2Z6yoN8 for the details.) However, the US Family Tree Magazine has now been purchased by a major magazine publisher with a long history of publishing. Family Tree magazine now seems to have a bright future. Here is the announcement:
Dublin, NH (July 19, 2019) — Yankee Publishing Inc. (YPI), publisher of Yankee, The Old Farmer's Almanac, and New Hampshire magazine, announced its acquisition of Family Tree magazine from F+W Media.
"We're pleased to welcome Family Tree to YPI's family of products," said President and CEO Jamie Trowbridge. "Family Tree fits well with our suite of brands, both in terms of content and business strategy. We're excited to take this step to continue YPI's growth as an independent media company."
Family Tree – with its print magazine, website, online classes and conferences, and web store – serves a passionate audience of genealogy enthusiasts. Interest in genealogy is surging in America, with over 20 million Americans having had their DNA tested by the four leading commercial ancestry and health databases, according to industry estimates.
"Yankee Publishing has a great vision for Family Tree," said Andrew Koch, editor of the magazine. "As part of YPI, we'll continue bringing the best genealogy advice and resources to our readers so they can discover their ancestors and connect to their roots."
The editorial offices of Family Tree will remain in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. The other functions of the business will be managed by YPI staff at its headquarters in Dublin, New Hampshire.
Yankee Publishing Inc. (YPI) is based in Dublin, New Hampshire. It is a family-owned, independent publisher of magazines, websites, books, calendars and other periodicals including Yankee: New England's Magazine, which was founded in 1935. YPI also owns the nation's oldest continuously produced periodical, The Old Farmer's Almanac, and subsidiary McLean Communications, which publishes New Hampshire magazine and other publications about New Hampshire.
Further research yields the following information:
The Family Tree Store, which served as the subscription portal for FTM and offers books and genealogy courses, is down for the time being. The Store's website has the following statement:
Family Tree Store Will Be Back!
While our website is in transition, Family Tree Store is temporarily offline.
Some digital products, online classes, videos, and content that you purchased may be temporarily unavailable.
Please know that we well be closely monitoring the situation and working to resolve an issues quickly.
And we'll be back, better than ever, in mid-August.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We'll have to wait to see if the Family Tree Store actually comes back. In the meantime, many of the FTM books are still available from Amazon.com and other online sources.
Earlier, the Genealogy Guys podcast announced that Penguin Random House Books had acquired the book publishing assets of F+W Media, which includes FTM books and print publications, such as Blaine Bettinger's The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy, and many, many genealogy and family history titles.

Top 100 Houston restaurant: Pho Binh By Night
This Asiatown purveyor of our semi-official civic cure-all has won its congregants with a mix of evocative beef broth; springy-fresh platters of pungent green herbs and chiles; and carefully sliced beef cuts to add to the noodle soup in the combo of your choice. Night owls love the late hours at which they can slurp the life-giving broth, more often a dish consumed in the morning or at noon. Thrill-chasers love to order a quivering bowl of bone marrow and its broth on the side, which turns the pho into a more luxurious affair. However you choose to customize your soup — with crunchy, gelatinous beef tendon; with extra green chile; with big splashes of fresh lime — you'll be participating in one of the city's iconic dining rituals.
WHAT TO ORDER: #9 pho with rare beef, flank and beef tendon; bone marrow and its broth on the side; da chanh (lemonade) with soda.
PRO TIP: Occasionally they run out of soup late at night, so if you aren't prepared to roll with that, call ahead.
EXPLORE OUR TOP 100: It's consistent quality that has kept 42 restaurants featured in Alison Cook's 2012 lineup in the Top 100 mix today. Cook's choices stay at the top of their game in their respective class, whether that be high or low, pricey or affordable.
