MOUNT WASHINGTON – Les McIntosh has been known and respected as a quality educator for years in Bullitt County.
Members of the Old Mill Elementary Site-Based Decision Making Council agreed with the reputation.
McIntosh began serving as Old Mill interim principal July 1. At the school year's midway point, the SBDM council voted to hire him on a permanent basis.
The SBDM committee went through a first wave of applicants and interviews prior to re-posting the position opening.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Kassi Nicole Gilbert had made that trip on the stage before.
But, this time, she was determined to do even better.
After finishing fifth overall as a fourth-grader, the Lebanon Junction Elementary student showed her supremacy in winning the 2009 Bullitt County Spelling Bee.
Matching the elementary and middle school winners, Gilbert and Nichols Elementary's Sean Brady battled until the 14th round of words before a winner would be declared.
The only surprise in discussions to study the Shepherdsville civil service ordinance is that it has taken this long.
There are no guarantees that any changes will be made. And the discussion will be good.
When it was approved several years ago, there was no public outcry. And several stories were written about it.
There was really no outcry until election time arose.
The city's version protects every employee from discipline or dismissal. If done, the employee can ask for a hearing before the civil service board.
FRANKFORT ee" Although final details are still pending, Kentucky got a much clearer picture last week of what it can expect from the federal stimulus package that Congress recently passed. Even with quite a few strings attached, it should still provide a substantial lift right when we need it most.
According to Gov. Beshear, we will get a little more than $3 billion over the next 28 months, which doesn't include direct stimulus payments Kentuckians may receive from such things as tax cuts or boosts in Social Security payments.
LOUISVILLE ee" Mount Washington resident Kenneth Scott Williams, 40, was killed in an early morning accident on Bardstown Road in Jefferson County, Louisville Metro Police Information Officer Alicia Smiley said.
Williams' Chevrolet Cobalt was discovered around 7 a.m. near the southbound lanes ofthe 11,000 block of Bardstown Road in Jefferson County, Smiley said. Frost on the car led officers to believe the accident wasn't discovered immediately, she said.
Smiley said Williams wasn't wearing a safety belt and was ejected from the vehicle.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - When budgeting, Kevin Mooney anticipated having excess fees of over $47,000 to return to Bullitt Fiscal Court.
However, when the final settlement was determined for last year, that amount had grown by over $122,000.
But Mooney requested fiscal court members consider storing the money away as the growth of the county has resulted in the addition of new precincts.
With precincts exceeding the state allowed 1,500 voter registrants, Mooney is looking at adding up to 15 new precincts.
LOUISVILLE - A 20-5 surge midway through the second half broke open a closer than expected game for the Bullitt East Lady Chargers in the opening round of the Girls' Sixth Region Tournament on Tuesday at Bellarmine University.
A cold-shooting Lady Charger squad saw a 22-15 halftime advantage evaporate early in the third quarter when Pleasure Ridge Park pulled even at 23-23. Bullitt East never trailed in the second half, but it was still 31-27 when Bullitt East junior Kayla Thacker drained a three-pointer just before the end of the third quarter.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The list is not long and magistrates quickly approved the recommendations on how to spend funds from the Rural Secondary Program.
With just over $800,000 to spend, state transportation cabinet official David Arnold recommended to resurfacing projects.
One would resurface 5.8 miles of Deatsville Road from end to end. The cost would be $558,000.
The other project would be to resurface the entire 2.5 miles of Chapeze Road at a cost of $247,000.
SHEPEHRDSVILLE - Various agencies are putting together numbers to show the costs associated with the recent ice storm.
And, for Bullitt County government, it looks like the cost will be around $180,000.
Emergency Management Agency director Mike Phillips said he expects the county to have over 87 percent of that cost covered through the federal and state governments.
The county has been able to purchase a $36,000 chipper and a $15,000 generator for the Mount Elmira tower, which is used to keep radio frequencies operating.
MOUNT WASHINGTON ee" Over a 10-year period, the American Red Cross may have been defrauded over $133,000 for respite care that was never administered.
And a pair of Mount Washington women has been indicted in federal court and could face up to 30 years in prison.
On Monday, a federal grand jury indicted Sylvia Rednour and Jennifer Roby on charges of conspiracy, mail fraud and forgery.
They were taken into custody on Wednesday and housed in the Oldham County Jail.

Bruce Springsteen Tells Dirty Jokes Onstage
There once was a man from New Jersey / Who told people jokes that were dirty / And then this rock star / Strapped on his guitar / And played the crowd hits that are sturdy.
There once was a man from New Jersey / Who told people jokes that were dirty / And then this rock star / Strapped on his guitar / And played the crowd hits that are sturdy.
Bruce Springsteen and Roger Waters joined an all-star lineup of comedians last night as they recognized wounded military personnel at the Bob Woodruff Foundation's annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit.
Live performances from some of rock's biggest names will make their home-video debut on the new box set '¡RELEASED! The Human Rights Concerts 1986-1998,' due Nov. 5.
Photographer Debra L. Rothenberg has spent more than 30 years shooting Bruce Springsteen. It helped that she grew up in New Jersey, and her first post-college job was working at a newspaper on the Jersey shore. In her new photo book, 'Bruce Springsteen in Focus 1980-2012,' Rothenberg gathers more than 250 pictures of the Boss onstage, backstage and hamming it up with fans.
When Bruce Springsteen started recording a batch of new songs to a four-track tape machine in his New Jersey bedroom in January 1982, he wasn't planning to release an album. The acoustic demos were to be used as guidelines for the E Street Band, who would bring their epic heft to the two dozen or so songs Springsteen had recently written. But something happened along the way to Springsteen's sixth album: The more he listened to the bare, stark songs on the cassette he carried around, the more he thought this was how they were supposed to sound.
It didn't sell particularly well when it first came out, but it has since become a favorite among his fans. On Sept. 11, 1973, Bruce Springsteen released his second album, 'The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.'
A number of familiar faces will be returning to New York City this November for the seventh annual 'Stand Up for Heroes' benefit concert. Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters and 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart are among a list of initially confirmed performers. Jerry Seinfeld will also perform, with more expected to be named later.
On Sept. 2, 1988, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Peter Gabriel kicked off the 'Human Rights Now!' tour at London's Wembley Stadium. The 20-date tour was a benefit for Amnesty International in honor of the 40th anniversary of the United Nations' adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Before he was signed as a solo act, Bruce Springsteen gained a reputation as the "Fastest Guitar in Asbury Park" in a series of bands on the Jersey Shore. One of them, Earth, gave its first performance on Aug. 16, 1968, at the Off Broad Street Coffee House in Red Bank, N.J.
At a legendary concert at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, Penn., on Feb. 5, 1975, Bruce Springsteen covered Chuck Berry's 'Back in the U.S.A.,' emphasizing the original rock poet's line about being "where them hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day." Nearly 40 years later, Springsteen went into greater detail about the classic American food with a fan.
Bruce Springsteen's 'American Skin (41 Shots)' has sparked dialogue and inspired debate for more than a decade, and his latest live performance of the song seems certain to add a few more impassioned voices to the fray.
In addition to barbecues, vacations and oppressive humidity, July always brings with it a spell of best-of-the-year-so-far lists. The newest one of interest to classic rock fans reveals that Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones have taken win, place and show in the list of the Top Grossing Concert Acts for the first half of 2013.

As the school year comes to an end, I'm thinking about how much of an impact the students have had on my life! I always have to keep in mind that children ARE children and they will do childish things. I'll won't miss waking up early for school but I'll miss seeing their smiling faces and the smiles they put on mine.
Have a great Summer and get ready to learn new things next year!
Mr. B!

Plea deal reached in fatal crash in VtJuly 04,2013
Plea deal made
in deadly crash
HYDE PARK A Vermont driver, accused of killing a motorcyclist in a crash and then leaving the scene of the accident, has reached a plea deal with prosecutors that would result in a sentence of up to five years.
Benjamin Miller, 19, admitted Tuesday to huffing dust cleaner moments before the crash in June 2012 in Johnson.
Police say his car slammed into the back of the motorcycle and the rider rolled onto their hood, then underneath the car.
The crash killed Ronald Turgeon, 56, of Berlin, N.H. Witnesses said the car drove away afterward.
In the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped a charge of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle resulting in death.

Massachusetts Governor-elect Charlie Baker has appointed Associate Professor Marylou Sudders to head the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the largest state agency in Massachusetts.
The appointment will mark a return to public service for Sudders, who was commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health from 1996 to 2003. She also served as New Hampshire's Deputy Director and Acting Director of the Division of Mental Health and Developmental Services. Sudders joined the Boston College School of Social Work in 2012.
"Leaving teaching is one of the few regrets I have," Sudders said. "I love teaching at the Boston College School of Social Work, I love the students, I love the opportunity to engage them in both public policy and a commitment to public service, but the honor to serve the commonwealth is too great an honor to refuse. You don't apply to be a Secretary of Health and Human Services, a governor asks you to serve." More about Marylou Sudders's appointment »
Following Barack Obama's announcement that he would use executive authority on immigration policy, BC Social Work Professor Westy Egmont went on CNN to discuss what the order means for the millions of immigrants affected by the president's decision.
"I'm sure that tonight, there's a lot of weeping and joy in millions of homes across the United States," Egmont told CNN International anchor Errol Barnett. "This is a profound opportunity for people to come out of the shadows…It means for some people the ability to go to work legally. It means for many people the ability to stay with their children who have already been given under DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] the opportunity to stay in the country. It certainly is going to mean an emotional opportunity to breathe deeper, to feel cohesively a part of the community in which in they live, and to take hope for the future." More about Westy Egmont on CNN »
12:30–3:00 p.m.
Heights Room, Corcoran Commons
Part of the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work 2013 Orientation program for all incoming students, this event will explore the social work profession's commitment to social justice and our school's promise to prepare students for empathetic and effective social work practice in a world filled with wonderful and complex diversity. As the academic year begins, incoming students are welcomed into our community's ongoing conversations about power and privilege, race, ethnicity, culture, spirituality, gender, sexuality, disability, and other aspects of a diverse world.
Lunch will be served.
In addition, throughout the 2013-2014 academic year, the BC Social Work community will consider the impact of intolerance, discrimination, and prejudice on the health and happiness of older adults and their families.

I started with Retin-A 3 months ago, my skin was pretty bad back then. At first, it really seemed that I am catching a dead fish - my skin got worse. This phase did not last for long and after that my skin became better after every week. Now I am clear, have only some scars left, but they are fading too. I am so glad I found Retin-A!
1) Gives a lovely and smooth skin texture.
2) Clears skin from pimples.
3) Even if a pimple appears, Retin-A makes it disappear more quickly and less painfully.
4) It is against wrinkles! That's why I will probably use it for a long-long time.
1) Makes skin very sensitive to the sun. That means wearing sunscreen every day for me.
2) If over-dosing, leaves skin flaky. Also, in the beginning, irritates skin because it has not got used to it (redness, extra flakiness) and acne can get worse.
3) Not too available - can get it with prescription only.

I'm trying to link my application with a static library built in a different version of Visual Studio (I'm using VS2010 and the lib is built with VS2008). The static lib uses STL internally and I'm getting linker errors that some basic_string methods cannot be found.
I understand that if the static lib uses STL in its public interface then this is impossible, since the STL objects are binarily incompatible. But this is not the case. None of the methods from the lib that I am calling use STL and I am passing no STL objects to the lib. But internally the static lib uses STL in it's own functions.
It looks like the library does not have the STL code compiled into it, and the linker is trying to link the STL into the internal methods. My question is is there any way to compile the static lib to statically link against the STL and include all the code inside of it?
I should mention that my own application also uses STL. But it seems that both versions could be compiled in provided that they are never passed to each other.

Man, woman from Allentown, baby carjacked, kidnapped at gunpoint in Berks County, police say
Updated On: Aug 15 2013 02:06:38 PM CDT
Two men are in custody and a third is being sought in connection with a carjacking and kidnapping in Berks County.
The ordeal began Tuesday evening when a man and woman from Allentown and the woman's 17-month-old grandson were driving in the area of Kutztown and Mount Laurel roads in Muhlenberg Township, police said.
The man, who was driving, was approached by two acquaintances who asked him to give them a ride to a house on Mount Laurel Road, police said. The driver agreed.
As they were driving, one of the men, identified as Hugo Vega-Hernandez, put a gun to the driver's head, told him to keep driving and then ordered him to pull over, police said.
They got out of the vehicle and the second suspect, identified as Angel Vega-Hernandez, told Hugo to shoot the victim, police said.
Hugo put the gun against the victim's head and pulled the trigger, but the gun failed to fire, police said.
Hugo then ordered everyone to get back inside the car, with Hugo now behind the wheel, the female victim in the front passenger's seat and Angel, the male victim and the baby in the backseat, police said.
Hugo gave the gun to Angel, who pointed it at the baby and told the alleged victims not to do anything stupid, according to police.
Angel also informed the male victim that they were being followed by people with "AK's," said police, noting that the male victim observed a white Mitsubishi following them.
The male victim told police they drove for more than an hour before he noticed officers conducting a traffic stop in the Norristown area and jumped from the moving car, police said.
Hugo then stopped the car on the shoulder of the road and he, Angel and the female victim took off on foot, leaving the baby in the car, police said.
Officers recovered the baby unharmed and searched the area for the suspects, but they turned up nothing.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, identified as Francisco Pagan-Cruz, of Reading, was later apprehended by Norristown police.
Hugo Vega-Hernandez was taken into custody by Muhlenberg police after a brief foot chase near his home on Wednesday.
A warrant is out for the arrest of Angel Vega-Hernandez. Anyone with information about his whereabouts should contact the Muhlenberg Police Department at 610-929-5454 or Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913.
The female victim contacted Allentown police Wednesday and told them she's safe.

The Hart of Dixie star took to Instagram yesterday and posted an intimate photo of herself nursing eight-month old son James.
Like the image of Natalia Vodianova breastfeeding online, is King making a statement about how society ought to quit shunning those who make this act public when need be?
Yes. But that's not all the actress is trying to accomplish.
"#JamesKnight is now 8 months old! These are the moments a mother lives for," King wrote as a caption, addressing parents around the world and adding:
"Breastfeeding should not be taboo - and bottle feeding should not be judged - it's ALL fun for the whole family:)"

The Frankincense Trail
on July 17, 2011
(no rating)
I was privileged enough to have helped this author out by reading the first couple of chapters for her so I was really excited to read this when it was released. I have Jody's other books on my to-read list but this was the first one I've read to far. Set in 200 B.C. Middle East this was different from anything I have read, ever. You can tell much research went into this book and the descriptions were so colorful I could see everything play out in my mind as I read. A few extras in this book, like a map of the trail, glossary of words, and a well written afterwards were just an added bonus. I highly recommend this book! This is a story about a teenage princess, still dealing with the grief of the death of her mother, recovering from a illness that had swept through the town she lives in, feeling like she has not seen anything in her young life, and a desire for adventure. Not the oldest child and not the youngest, she feel stuck in a lavish life being in the middle, knowing soon she will be married off.All she wants is be heard and help get her father's kingdom thriving again. When no one will listen to her or her ideas and seeing a small caravan of traders stop in her town she decides her wanted adventure time is now. With the help of her best friend/servant she disguises herself as a boy, as the traders will not take a young unmarried woman with them, no less a princess! Alia gets more than she bargains for as the desert and it's harsh elements show her trust, friendship, life and death. As she starts to find herself and her purpose in life, she realizes she has a lot to learn, as life outside of the palace walls is not always fair. She wears her heart on her sleeve and stands up for what she believes is right, although the caravan leaders are not so sympathetic to anyone. I would LOVE to see a sequel to this book! *wink wink*

What a great, short read! Having been abandoned by her mother as a baby and raised by her Grandfather, who owns a construction company, JD knows the business inside and out. At 21, she is finally granted the opportunity to be project manager of a schoolhouse to bed and breakfast renovation in the sleepy town of Torrey, Utah. A little nervous she dives right in and takes charge. Enter Matthew, the tan, muscular, charming cowboy placing a bid for the demolition part of the job. As Matthew works his way into JD heart, she of course starts to fall for him. Having never been in love, yet along ever have a boyfriend or a first kiss, it doesn't take much for her to fall quick and fall hard. After discovering a strange box hidden in one of the walls of the schoolhouse, strange things being to happen. As JD soon realizes people are not what they seem and she struggles to put the pieces together of what is really going on and why. Little does JD know she is involved more than she could ever imagine. The story moved at a perfect pace and was full of excitement. There were plenty of twists and surprises from beginning to end that had my jaw dropping as they took me by surprise. The characters were very well developed and the way they connected was well done. About 50 pages from the end I thought how great it would be for a sequel to this story and after the way it ended I really hope so. There are so many places the author could take this story line and the characters. I really wanted to give this read 5 stars on Goodreads I did notice quite a few grammatical errors in the second half of the book, which surprised me because the first half didn't have but maybe a couple, if that. These errors in no way distracted me from the story and I was able to just move past them. Based on this book, I firmly believe this author has a lot of potential and cannot wait to see if this story line continues! I would definitely recommend this read!
Trafficked: The Diary of a Sex Slave
on Sep. 04, 2011
Heart wrenching and well written, Sibel Hodge's novella is a eye opener to a hush hush problem plaguing our world. My heart was breaking for Elena, and also for her mother and daughter. Kidnapped and then sold into the sex trade business was not the life Elena had wanted for herself but she knew she had to be strong for her mother and daughter, who had no idea this had happened to her. With the threat that these "monsters" would kill her family is she didn't do as she was told, Elena must succumb to being raped and beaten. Dreams of her daughter seem to be the only thing getting her past each day and night. Day by day Elena keeps hoping that this nightmare will end and she can hold her daughter in her arms again until a recently widowed client only looking for someone to hold becomes Elena's savior and rescuer. Although this novella is fiction, it is happening right now somewhere. Quite frankly, as the step-mother to three girls, it scares the crap out of me. What is more frightening is the fact that some of the brothel's clients, men in 'power' positions, turn a blind eye to what is happening. A wonderfully written short story that will grip your heart and make you hug your daughter's just a little tighter.
Bone Dressing
on Sep. 07, 2011
First off, I absolutly loved the character Syd. I loved her snarky, sarcastic, tough-girl attitude. A few times I thought 'Oh wow, she sounds like me!" I felt bad for her in that she lost her parents at a young age and feels like she doesn't really belong, especially since she is still a teenager and is trying to find herself. No one seems to understand her, including her teachers, her foster parents, and most of the other students in her school, except for her longtime BF Patricia. Trouble seems to find Syd where ever she goes. Having never let herself really mourn the loss of her parents, she finds comfort in the local cemetery where they are buried. There she unexpectantly meets Beau, Sarah, and TJ, who will spin her life even more out of control and add more confusion to her already crazy life. There seems to be so much going on in this story, a couple times I had a bit of trouble keeping track of where Syd was, or should I say who Syd was. There also seemed to be a lot of detail about what Syd was thinking. I would of loved more dialog between the characters. As I read further into the story, I was completely caught off guard with the story line. It is so much more than the book description. I really, really, really like this story line and the plot. I feel that there is a great potential with the next six books. I am hoping more information comes out about certain characters, including Beau, Sarah, and especially TJ, as I have a lot of unanswered questions and how they all fit into Syd and her past lives. Overall, I am anxious to read book two and would definitely recommend this read!
White Witch Pond
on Sep. 10, 2011
I was hoping with a title like White Witch Pond, there would be enough creepy factor for this 33 year old horror lover to really enjoy this story. Not that I was doubting it would be enjoyable, because Jody is an amazing writer, just that it would at least give me a few chills being as it is a YA book. I was not disappointed! Right from the first chapter, reading in the almost dark living room, the hair on my arms stood up a little. Short and easy to read this is a perfect read for a dark, stormy night. I loved Shaya's character.I liked her confidence for being so young (I think she is around 12) and she seemed so grown up with her thoughts and actions. I felt bad for her though because it seemed like her mother did not understand her at all and was constantly putting her off and would never listen to anything she had to say. Determined to get to the bottom of the bracelet mystery and what is making her brother Dev sick, Shaya never backs down from the challenge and every step closer she gets, the more she needs to know. With just enough creep factor to keep you from looking out the window in the dark, White Witch Pond will keep you reading until you reach the perfect ending!
The Kindred Curse Anthology
on Nov. 13, 2011
There is a whole lota (is lota a word? if it wasn't it is now!) story packed into less than 75 pages in this first short story of the Kindred Curse Anthology. I loved it, plain and simple. The story never lets up from the first chapter to the very last page. Isabelle and her mother are on the run. From vampires. After loosing her twin sister Gabriella who was in love with a vampire and her father to suicide, they don't stay in any place too long. Something is in Isabella's blood that makes her irresistible to the vampires. After arriving in Chattanooga, TN Isabella has a run in with four young vampires and her life is on the line, literally. After being rescued by Xavier, an elder vampire, her whole world will be turned upside down whether she likes it or not. They are both drawn to each other and Xavier will stop at nothing to loose her, even offering her her every wish. The one thing that Isabella wants more than anything is her sister Gabriella back. But can he give her the very thing that she desires? Gleaming White is so well written that you will feel like you have read a whole novel by the time you reach the end. The ending was outstanding and left me hungering for more.
Where Thy Dark Eye Glances
on Nov. 30, 2011
(no rating)
First let me say that I really, really, REALLY wanted to give this book four if not five stars. Anyone familiar with my reviews knows that I am a stickler for grammatical errors and include that as part of my overall review. There were a lot, not enough to draw me away from the story but I'm the kind of reader that once I spot one I am constantly looking for the next. Everyone makes errors, even I sometimes go back and re-read a review and spot one, I get that, so that is one reason why I didn't give this read more than 3 stars. The second reason is that I was kind of wanting a little more background. The story just kind of picks up out of nowhere with these teens that are totally cool with the fact that they lived 300+ years ago in some far away land and their spirit has been reborn into who they are now and they are being chased by bad guys who want Lily, who is kind of like the leader of the other three. What about BEFORE they realized who they were? Did they freak out when they began to notice they had witch powers? How is that all four of them were re-born at the same time and all have found each other again in just a few short years (they are less than 18 years old). Lily has flashbacks to her life 300 years ago but I would of loved to have known more about the last 17 years and what brought the four of them together. The plot is enjoyable, as are the characters. I really enjoyed Lily's character as she is self-confident, bold, and brave. There is plenty of suspense and a little bit of romance thrown in. The bond between the four friends is strong. Overall, I did enjoy Where Thy Dark Eye Glances and do look forward to book two and where it will take them on their journey to defeat Ronan and save their old world. Decent start to the series with lots of room to grow.
Witch Hunt (Book Two-Hayle Coven Novels)
on March 18, 2012
When an author writes a series, and the second book takes me on such a ride that I can't wait to jump right into the next book, I know I have a new series to add to my favorites list. In Witch Hunt, six months have passed since the ending of book one, Family Magic. Syd has still has new new group of friends, things have been pretty calm, and she is actually getting along with her mother. After being drug to a field party, where everyone from school will be partying it up, an ancient evil is released. People start going missing, coven members are taken, and an unexpected alliance with the DeWinter vampire clan is formed. As the evil entity becomes stronger, it's a race against time to search it out, find it's origins, and destroy it. And Syd must face the fact that she needs help from her inner demon now, more than ever. Even worse, she has love sick, football playing Brad wanting to be her boyfriend, a possessed cheerleader to deal with, and of course Quaid, who is struggling with his own issues. Can she handle anything else? Oh yeah, how about the strange Demetrius Strong, of the Chosen of Life, who is trying to get her to join them and leave her evil witchy ways of life. I think I enjoyed Witch Hunt even more than Family Magic because Patti Larsen just has a way of bringing her characters to life. You feel like in some ways you know them and can relate, they are a part of you. Enough back story is given so that Witch Hunt could be a stand alone read, but you are really missing out if you don't read Family Magic first. With non-stop action, suspense, laughter, and a bit of chill factor thrown in I had a hard time walking away from this story when "real life" called! Five stars all the way around!
Demon Child (Book Three-Hayle Coven Novels)
on March 19, 2012
I am seriously not even going to ask if this series can get any better! I enjoy each book in the series even more than the last. Patti Larsen definitely has a great thing going with this Hayle Coven set. *I don't want to give any of the goodness away so I apologize right now for a cryptic review!* Demon Child jumps right into the action with Syd and her friends out on a camping trip, which of course goes horribly wrong, for Syd at least. When is anything ever easy for her? Demon Child also brings back the dreadful Chosen of Light, along with a few new characters. Syd's demon starts finding her own voice and wanting some control, leaving Syd waking up in odd places and at war with herself. A huge betrayal takes place in Demon Child, which completely caught me off guard. Syd and Quaid, Quaid and Syd...I loved how they finally seem to come together, but was cussing him at the end. Can't this guy just stop being a jerk??? *pulling my hair out* Syd finds herself alone, once again, when her friends turn their backs on her in favor of another. The new guy rubs Syd the wrong way and she knows there is something off about him but no one seems to want to believe her. When it comes time for the showdown, Syd finally gets her dream come true, or so she thought. This book found me breathless at times, heart pounding. Larsen was able to do what few authors can do... bring tears to my eyes. Actually, they were rolling down my cheeks. I felt so heart wrenching sad for Syd. If you haven't started reading this series you need to NOW! Another wonderfully written chapter in the Hayle Coven story!
The Wild (Book Four The Hayle Coven Novels)
on March 22, 2012
Bittersweet, that's what The Wild was. I zoomed right through the four books in this series that have been published. When I began this one, I was excited to continue into the story but also sad because book five is not out for me to read yet :( I am really in love with this series and will be chomping at the bit to get my hands on book five! The Wild picks up right from where Demon Child ended. Syd is still minus her demon, and it seems that everyone hates her or is mad at her now. Way for everyone to be supportive, while they still have their magic in tact, right? Even the coven is giving her the cold shoulder and she has been banned from attending the meetings. Not only is Syd feeling abandoned, but her now-mortal father and her mother are so wrapped up in coven business, what with The Wild riders coming to destroy earth as they know it and rebuild. Now that Syd has the freedom she always longed for, something doesn't feel right. There is still some sort of magic lurking inside of her, the same magic that was causing Syd and her demon to never mesh in the first place. Now it is a race against time, with Quaid and Sunny by her side, to track down The Chosen of the Light and reclaim what rightfully belongs to her, not to mention save the world! There wasn't as much action in The Wild as in the previous books but I still enjoyed every single word of it. I had an idea on where Syd's "other" magic came from but wasn't 100% sure until Patti chose to revealed it. As with each book prior, I still wanted to slap Celeste silly. That woman! Patti Larsen has a way of writing that will easily make her one of your favorite authors. The Hayle Coven novels are fast paced and full of suspense that are enjoyable for all ages of readers, from teens to adults. Grab your copy of Family Magic (book one) and you will be surprised how fast you devour each book in this series! Now, if only I culd get my hands on book five *tapping my nails in "patience"*
on July 07, 2012
I am a HUGE fan of Patti Larsen's writing, especially this Hayle Coven series. Each book is seriously better than the last. So, somehow I missed the announcement that Gatekeeper was out and available (I'm blaming the new changes to Facebook changes). As soon as I knew I downloaded it and every other book I was reading was put on hold. I finished Gatekeeper in less than a day's time. Yes, it is THAT good. Patti's writing is THAT good to keep my attention and hold me in her thrall until the very. LAST. Word. Gatekeeper picks up where The Long Lost ended. Quaid is still living with the evil Dumonts under pretenses of being one of them with revenge on his mind. Syd's father, Harry is still stuck as a mortal and trying his darndest to get back to Demonicon. Celeste is still being a pain in the ass (I really can't stand her lol). And we can't forget Syd's friend, the troubled, one tip to shift the balance train wreck waiting to happen Alison. Still needy as ever, but you can't help but to feel some of her pain and want to make everything okay for her. And then there is Twelfth Grade, graduation looming like a light at the end of the tunnel for Syd. Then Gram decides to take off with her own revenge on her mind. When Syd's mother decides to go in search of her, along with Uncle Frank, who is still coming to terms with his own mess (which if you ask me, he should be grateful to even still be around, but that's a story for another day...) the family magic is transferred to Syd and she suddenly finds herself in charge of the coven...and the household, as her dad has basically checked out, too wrapped up in his own self and issues, and little sis Meira, with her new snotty attitude and new found love for makeup and hair products, until her mother's return. Sounds like enough is on her plate already right? HA! Yeah right. Now there is a Gate that Syd has been dreaming of, and the fate of the world and the Sidhe is at risk and time is already running out to not only find the Gate but to save the day once again. Enter new character Liam, a new favorite of mine. The last of the Gatekeepers. Full of keep you on your toes excitement, I am never not amazed at where Patti takes the storyline. As long as she keeps churning them out, I will keep reading them!
Flesh and Blood
on July 07, 2012
The. Best. One. Yet. Those four little words hold a lot of power to be able to describe a whole book. I was basically a blubbering mess the whole book through. For those how don't know me personally, I'm a tough girl, it takes A LOT to make me shed some tears. Flesh and Blood did just that. Being the seventh book in this series, fans can't help but feel like you are a part of the Hayle family. Syd's father, Harry, is desperate to try anything, anything at all to return him to not only Demonicon, but to make him not moral anymore. Even going as far as to use *GASP* blood magic, which is punishable by death. When his attempt goes wrong, all of his powers are sent into Sassafrass, the Hayle family cat. And low and behold, Sassy is now a teenage boy! For the first time in 150 years, he is no longer in the body of a cat! Unfortunatly, Harrys body is on the decline and time is not on Syd's side as Syd, Sassy, and Liam (yes he makes a return in book seven so I'm hoping he is here to stay!!) research, experiment, and even travel to the demon plane to get help from Sassy's dad just to save Harry's life. Gram is still gone, Meira is basically keeping Harry alive by feeding him her demon power, then the nasty Dumonts decide to make their return, a long with Quaid. Syd also comes to realize just how much power she really does have and the coven starts showing some respect. You can't help but root and cheer for Syd, considering she didn't even want anything to do with the family magic, no less her powers! Full of emotion, both the happy and sad kind, I would LOVE to share with you how Flesh and Blood ends...but I don't like cheating and I feel I would be cheating readers by telling. So grab your copy then feel free to email me if you are looking for someone to discuss with! If you have never read any of the Hayle Coven novels, grab you a copy of Family Magic and be amazed at how fast you devour the rest of the series.

IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- Vision Solutions, Inc., a premier provider of replication, availability and disaster recovery software and services, announced today the launch of the company's new Cloud Protection & Recovery (CP&R) offering. The new solution, based on the company's trusted Double-Take® and MIMIX® products, enables cloud service providers to accelerate their cloud businesses by offering their customers Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS), while taking advantage of the simplicity of pay-per-use pricing. Vision's CP&R offering also allows IT professionals an affordable, low-risk path to the cloud.
The new cloud offering positions Vision Solutions as a premier provider of Cloud Protection & Recovery, High Availability/Disaster Recovery and Migration/Cross-Platform Data Sharing solutions that enable businesses of all sizes, from SMB to enterprise, to affordably and efficiently protect their data, applications and servers.
According to Gartner, "the key attributes of cloud computing -- service-based, scalable and elastic, shared, metered by use and Internet-based -- deliver a strong alternative to more inflexible and expensive traditional disaster recovery services and may even be a superior alternative to an in-house self-managed approach. As a result, Gartner expects RaaS to continue to grow as a logical extension to cloud infrastructure services." It estimates that "worldwide recovery as a service (RaaS) spending in 2012 was $465.7 million, and that the market will grow to $1.2 billion by 2017, a CAGR of 21%."*
Vision Solutions' new Cloud Protection & Recovery offering includes:
- Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) Platform - Double-Take Cloud Protection & Recovery (CP&R), Apache CloudStack Edition enables cloud providers running Citrix CloudPlatform or Apache CloudStack to offer cloud-integrated Recovery-as-a-Service to their end customers. This product is built on Double-Take's real-time replication technology.
- Metered Usage - Double-Take and MIMIX Metered Usage allow cloud providers to consume licenses of Vision Solutions' Disaster Recovery, Migration and High Availability solutions in a pay-as-you-go fashion. This offering reduces business risks for cloud providers and helps create affordable cloud-based DR, HA and Migration solutions for the end-user.
- Software Development Kit (SDK) - Double-Take SDK offers cloud providers the ability to use APIs for custom integration of Double-Take into their cloud ecosystem. This enables a higher degree of automation and helps reduce administrative costs for cloud providers.
With the launch of its cloud offering, Vision Solutions is also realigning its product portfolio into three solution categories: Cloud Protection & Recovery; High Availability and Disaster Recovery; and Migration and Cross-Platform Data Sharing.
Vision's High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions have set the industry standard for 22 years, ensuring resilience across cloud, virtual and physical environments. Products include:
- Private/Public Cloud Protection - vCloud Director Aware Data Protection
- Server Protection (Cloud, Virtual, Physical) - Double-Take Availability for Windows & Linux, MIMIX Availability and iTERA Availability for IBM i and Double-Take® RecoverNow for AIX
- Agentless VM Protection - Double-Take Availability for Hyper-V and Double-Take Availability for vSphere
Vision's Migration and Cross-Platform Data Sharing offering provides the products and services needed to eliminate the strain on IT resources while offsetting the risks associated with migrating complex, multi-tiered computing environments with near-zero downtime. Products include:
- Cross-Platform Data Sharing - Double-Take Share
- Intel/AMD Migrations - Double-Take Move

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Shareholders of Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) on Thursday approved the scheme of merger of Maharashtra Elektrosmelt Ltd. (MEL) with the 'Maharatna' company under Sec.391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956. The proposal is now under consideration of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
At the SAIL's 38th annual general meeting here, shareholders also approved the board recommendation for final dividend payment of 17 per cent on paid-up equity, apart from the interim dividend of 16 per cent already paid earlier this year. This takes the total dividend payment for 2009-10 to 33 per cent.
Speaking at the AGM, SAIL Chairman C. S. Verma informed shareholders that the government had approved a 10 per cent FPO (follow-on public offer) of shares and an offer for sale (disinvestment) of 10 per cent of the government's holding in the company in two discrete tranches.
The total issue in two equal tranches, Mr. Verma said, would comprise a fresh issue of 41.30 crore shares and disinvestment of government equity holding of an equivalent amount. Each tranche would consist of 5 per cent (20.65 crore shares) of FPO and 5 per cent of equity divestment. The offers, he said, were to be issued at appropriate times in keeping with SEBI guidelines and prevailing market conditions. The first tranche was likely to hit the market during the current, subject to government and regulatory approvals.
Mr. Verma also informed that SAIL had made plans to set up additional incremental power generation capacity to meet the enhanced power requirement of its steel plants and mines in the coming years. As for the steel major's short-term outlook, Mr. Verma said that to offset rising input costs, SAIL has laid thrust on improving productivity across the organisation "encompassing people as well as production facilities and processes." To meet the enhanced iron ore requirement of about 43 million tonnes for hot metal production of 23.5 million tonnes after the first phase of modernisation and expansion is completed in 2012-13, the company was pursuing the issue of early renewal of leases of Chiria and Gua mines, he said.
