So, I was working on the position independence stuff and thinking about how I've currently implemented multi-segment support – I'm comparing pointers in different allocations. This is not legit, but normally it works… which doesn't fill me with joy.
While looking over how this can fail (I was thinking about memory range address extensions on 32-bit platforms) I came across some posts about the type of the result of subtracting a void pointer from a void pointer.
It's a ptrdiff_t, of course…
…except it's not.
Standard C does not support subtracting void pointers from void pointers, because the type is unknown.
GCC lets you do this as an extention – treats the pointers as pointers to unsigned char.
I then after a bit realised I was getting a -lot- of extras from using -std=gnu89 rather than -std=c89, which I'd done just to get C++ style comments.
So wrote a script, converted all C++ style comments to C comments, and changed to c99 with -pedantic-warnings.
"Type long long not supported".
Bloody right too – "long long" didn't turn up in the Standard until C99.
It's a GCC extension prior to C99.
My problem is I've had to support Windows, and MS stopped supporting C decades ago, so they're still C89 – and in fact I've been using a platform extension there too. Until now I've not worried very much about the later C versions – I've got the specs, I need to sit down and read them through. I'd rather have a good book than the spec though – I originally learned C from "The C Book", which is excellent. (But now I've got some time, yes, I'll finally read through them all. It's a shame in a way – I'd like to only have to know one version of C, but because of Windows, I need to hang on to remembering C89 – this is actually why I've not moved on yet.)
So anyways embarrassement aside, C99 is only really properly supported until GCC 4.5.0.
This is a bit of an interesting problem.
GCC doesn't really start to compile for non x86/x86_64 platforms until about 4.5.4 (and 4.7.3 for ARM), so that's okay.
However, I have GCC 4.20, 4.2.2 and 4.2.4 compiled for x86_64 – so if I wanted to support them, I'd need to use gnu89.
All in all, looks like I need to use -std=c99.
This is fine for non-Windows platforms – it will enable long long, and I won't use any other functionality, so I can still compile on Windows (since the porting layer defines will mean I use the platform extention on Windows for 64 bit types).
Ironically, of course, this means the work I did to replace C++ style comments with C style comments is now not necessary =-)

Question dodge of the day: Chris Wallace asks Dick Durbin why $9 trillion in debt was irresponsible and unpatriotic while $16 trillion is 'sustainable'
**Written by Doug Powers
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a question." – Patches O'Houlihan, life coach to David Axelrod, Jay Carney and now Dick Durbin
Last week, President Obama v2.013 said there is no immediate crisis in terms of debt. A few years ago, Obama v2.008 called $9 trillion worth of national debt "unpatriotic" and "irresponsible." On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace asked Illinois Dem Senator Dick Durbin if that made sense to him, and as it turns out it made so much sense to him that Durbin decided to completely ignore the question and go to the talking points:
**The Question Dodge of the Day was sponsored by Ringside Maize Balls — if you want to slip verbal punches and develop fast question-dodging reflexes, make Ringside Maize Balls a part of your daily training program
Meanwhile, on ABC's This Week, John Boehner seemed to agree with President Obama on this point:
The country isn't facing an immediate debt crisis, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday, but he argued that Congress and the president must reform entitlements to avert one that lies dead ahead.
"We all know that we have one looming," Boehner said on ABC's "This Week". "And we have one looming because we have entitlement programs that are not sustainable in their current form. They're going to go bankrupt."
Boehner expressed agreement with Obama's statement in an ABC interview the other day that the debt doesn't present "an immediate crisis."
We've been hearing about Obama's "charm offensive," but Boehner seems to be launching his own.

Out of the total, the husband shall get seven shares, 6-6 shares shall go to each son while the daughter shall get 3 shares. The detail of Shariah division is as follows:
Husband: 1 x 7 = 7
Sons: 3 x 6 = 18
Daughter: 1 x 3 = 3
Total 28 shares
Allah knows Best!

I have a question: A man dies leaving a son,3 daughters During the lifetime of the deceased man he gave 2 acres of land to share equally between the 3 daughters, and in the family house a section for the 3 daughters Many years have passed the 3 daughters died but no distribution has not been done The land is about 20 acres the question:How shold the Shares in the house be done to the 3 daughters The 2 acres of the land for the 3 daughters how that should that be divided.
A couple (my khala and khalooo) had six children, one son (eldest) and five daughters. One daughter is mentally distorted. The father MF died when youngest daughter was not matured enough. The second last daughter was disabled. The four elders decided and transfer the house in the name of mother by signing an agreement on stamp paper......In view of all this what action would be correct. What was the actions taken wrongly earlier. In case of wrong action how it can be rectified and what action children should do to rectify.

Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Cleanser Review
6 comments :
I bought this recently but it didn't do anything that it claimed to do, such a shame too because it sounded amazing!ReplyDelete
Parie x
I know, I read so many reviews online saying that it worked so well for them so I was like, yes this is gonna work! Was absolutely gutted that it didn't make a difference xDelete
I have blackheads on my nose, but they aren't very noticeable and they haven't formed bumps so I haven't done anything about them yet... I probably should though!ReplyDelete
Aleeha xXx
Ah you're SO lucky they aren't noticeable! My foundation manages to cover mine up but it doesn't last all day and it probably doesn't help by putting foundation on top of them haha xDelete
I think the best way to get rid of blackheads is the glamglow mud mask or one of the Korean masks that are meant for pulling them out. Oh, have you tried Biore's strips? :)ReplyDelete
S .x http://ramblingsofayoungprgirl.blogspot.comReplies
Ooh I've never heard of any of them before! I'll have to look into them and maybe give them a go, thanks so much for the recommendations. I'm always on the lookout for great blackhead products xDelete

Cost 11/10
I was one person out of four for an order. Bulk discount + 50% off BTC promo? You're stupid if you think you would find a better deal for the quality of a G0d.
Communication 10/10
We did have to email tracking twice but they were always less than 24 hrs response.
Shipping Time 10/10
Ordered Early August with priority shipping. The id was made in 4 days, shipped within 3 more days, and was in transit for just under a month. I thought for sure they had been seized by customs by the end of august but one day they just kinda started moving again. Overall, the shipping was definitely slow but that clearly isn't G0ds fault.
Stealth 10/10
Obviously, they made it through customs without any problems. But if I lived with my parents I would still have a hard time explaining the contents of the package. However, that's not a problem I have to deal with so 10/10.
Texture/Material 9.5/10
Feels perfect imo. Passes bend test quite well. NC doesn't use any laminate on their newest issues so you don't have to worry anything peeling off which is nice. But I do have to mark off here: one of my IDs is flawless in terms of texture. The spare one has these minor raised bumps on the back, which honestly doesn't make it impossible to use, but I would be more hesitant to use it at a place that hard checks IDs.
Photoshop 9.5/10
I am absolutely amazed by the photoshop on this ID. My friend has a G0d from a few years back and there must have been major progress made. I would say it's literally impossible to tell the ear shadows were faked. Honestly, the shadows on G0d look more legitimate than my actual ID.
The only flaw, as far as the picture goes, is it is zoomed out a little too much. The bottom of the picture on the real ones usually starts at the base of the neck right about the collarbone, seeing very little of the shoulders. My G0d one starts lower on my body, showing a little but too much chest and shoulders. For reasons I'll explain later, this isn't a huge deal at all, just an observation I noticed.
Template 8/10
This is where there are some pitfalls of the ID come to play. Let me preface this by saying that this ID is nearly perfect and overall I would buy this one again, but this is just some of the nitty gritty stuff that only people who overthink things (like myself) would notice.
The biggest thing to start of is with the color of the birthday. On the real ID they are brown. On G0ds, they are black (or at least appear to be). You can definitely tell that they tried to make it brown, as it is slightly different than the rest of the black text, but a quick inspection from someone who knows what they are looking for is going to realize that the birthday is not "brown enough."
The second major pitfall is the signature. Now this one is hard to blame G0d for; it was completely my fault that I didn't submit a signature. Learn from my mistake and make sure to submit a signature on all future orders. It isn't bad, but the problem is it's a little too perfect and also better represents a females handwriting, which I am not. Closely looking at the signature you can tell that its a font. Again, I want to make it clear that this doesn't make or break the ID. I've been using it for a month and nobody has ever asked about or even noticed the signature.
Scan 10/10
Scanned successfully in Bar & Clubs and PDF 14. Only been to one actual location that scanned but no issues.
Blacklight Test 10/10
Absolutely flawless. Bouncer tested and approved.
Overall 9.5/10
So overall, this is an absolutely incredible ID. To reiterate, I have been using this for over a month and haven't had any major problems. I even ran into a bouncer that was pretty skeptical (because I was so nervous) and looked at my ID for over a minute and still let me in (because even though I was nervous, I had a real ID ). For myself, I personally would get NC again. Good quality, good ID, good price. However I would not recommend it for everybody. I have a big advantage of living in a big city with lots of tourist and college aged kids from around the country. So having an ID from North Carolina, even though it isn't particularly close to here, doesn't really raise any red flags with any bouncers, attendants, waiters, etc. That said, flaws like the imperfect birthday color, photo zoom, and even the signature aren't a huge deal to me cause I have the advantage of distance on my side. If I lived in NC, or one of its directly neighboring states, this probably wouldn't be my go-to-ID. I am not saying that it wouldn't work there, every place is different, but you should always go out of state if possible.
P.S. Picture is attached, unfortunately I don't have a real one available to me to scan for a side by side

Monday Morning News
Apple's decision to ship iBooks as a default app in iOS 8 caused controversy, according to MacRumors, because users can't delete the default apps that come on an iPhone. But the numbers speak for themselves: the iBooks platform has added one million new users per week since the introduction of iOS 8, most likely as a result of the change. Users are looking at the app without even visiting the App Store, and while iBooks served as a useful introduction to App Store mechanics for new iPhone and iPad users once upon a time, more users are using iBooks to read content as a result of including it by default in iOS 8.
Apple has big plans for China, with five new Retail locations set to open before the end of February. Speaking to Chinese website Xinhua, Apple SVP of Retail and Online Angela Ahrendts said four of the stores would be in brand new cities. What's more, Apple are also looking for Retail employees in 15 new locations.
An Apple patent for a multi-function input device overloads the home button on iOS devices and makes it a pop-up mini joystick, of sorts. AppleInsider writes such a home button would not only be able to function as a controller for games, but also a more precise input device, allowing for more precise cursor placement for those not accustomed to the touchscreen of the iPhone or iPad.
To be honest with you, I don't see the appeal of curved displays. But then again, I've never used one for any extended period of time. Thomas Ricker of The Verge has, however, and he wants a curved iMac because the time for curved displays (particularly TVs) is now.
See! You can make a living from iOS apps. Just need an $850k budget, 55 weeks of work and to build one of the best games of 2014. Simple.
— Garrett Murray (@garrettmurray) January 15, 2015
In light of recent posts from developers about the financial side of making apps and games, Marco Arment's look at the sales numbers for his iOS podcast client Overcast says he's making good money. He's often said the only advantage his visibility gets him is a good launch, but it's possible he doesn't realise how good that is in an economy based on the fresh and the new.
Jim Dalrymple brings up a few good points regarding the success and failure of the Apple Watch — even if many people have a wait-and-see approach, they will be balanced out by those clamouring for an exciting new Apple product. And for every argument the Apple Watch will be a luxury item, there's one person saying a watch is just a watch.
Speaking of the Apple Watch, Fast Company posted up a few designs about how Apple Watch apps would work.
In app-related news, Be My Eyes is a kind of social-FaceTime where you can help out a blind or vision-impaired person via live video chat. Kinda novel for helping total strangers, but I'd feel far too obligated to help someone out to use the app properly. Goofy, on the other hand, is a desktop client for Facebook Messenger.
You know what a Retina 5K iMac needs? A set of Retina 5K wallpapers, that's what. Rob Griffiths cut up a few shots of the Andromeda galaxy and put together a very nice set. Bonus points if you grab them all, put them in a folder, and then have OS X rotate them automatically.
With a lot of discussion relating to the possibility of Apple moving to ARM-based chips in Macs, AppleInsider offers up five reasons why that might not be happening any time soon.
OS X Daily explains the mysterious, ambiguous, "Other" as found on OS X systems. It's pretty much anything that isn't an app, movie, photo, or music.
Stephen Hackett wonders what happened to the iPod touch. With recent iPad price drops making the tablets encroach on the price territory of the phone-less iPhone, there's less reason to buy an iPod touch than ever before.

The ASEMUS Exchange of Museum Educators Grant Programme enhances professional development of museum educators in Asia and Europe and strengthens connections and cultural understanding between the two regions.
In this video, Jenny Siung, Head of Education at the Chester Beatty Library (Dublin, Ireland), introduces the Programme and the opportunities it provides to museum educators. Staff from ASEMUS member museums can take advantage of this scheme to observe the everyday practices of their peers abroad, as well as to exchange, share practices and devise new joint projects.
Jenny, who is now one of the coordinators of the Programme, also tells of her own experience as a participant. In 2006, she obtained the first Programme grant, which allowed her to carry out an exchange project with colleagues at the Islamic Arts Museum in Malaysia. New ideas, practices and learning and educational strategies can derive from these experiences.
The 2015 call for participation in the Museum Educators Grant Programme is now open. Applications can be sent by 31 October.

- easterntreeskier said...
Hey, Lynn is great, B&T's is great. So is the F***s.
For some short but fun Cape Cod riding, if you have some patience to poke around and find it, Beebe's Woods in Falmouth is awesome. Not big and not well known, it actually connects to some fun technical, rocky single track. There is a nice line around near the pond, stuff that connects up into a meadow, and if you cross the street that comes from the hospital, you can find a nice long stretch of climbs and downs, which deadends in a stream gully you walk back up.

Seriously, XC desirves more credit. I've done both FR and XC racing. To be honest, XC is so much more difficult than FR. You need 3x more skill to do XC. With FR, you just have to have the balls to do stuff and a little skill.
Please don't flame me for saying this...

- said...
Hey Ben,
You have a ton of places to do DH riding. Mt. Snow would be my choice over Waterville. You should check out Highland Mountain also in Northfield,NH. Their website is www.highlandmountain.com
Also check out www.bustedspoke.com which is a local bike forum and you can read about a ton of places to ride locally.

It may be hard to believe, but the greatest movie about bank-robbing surfers hit theaters 20 years ago today. That's right on July 12, 1991, a up-and-comer named Keanu Reeves made action film history with one of Hollywood's biggest action stars and romantic leads, Patrick Swayze. There is just so much about Point Break to love: the Ex-Presidents, Swayze at his Swayziest, a skydiving fight scene, Gary Busey talking about meatball subs. Even though Point Break is often remembered for its campier elements — one of its chase scenes played heavily into Edgar Wright's action spoof, Hot Fuzz — the film arguably holds up better than movies released just a few years ago.
The story is a simple and timeless one (and one that bares a striking resemblance to The Fast and the Furious). A young, hot-shot former college football star, Johnny Utah, joins the FBI after a career-ending injury. His first partner, Angelo Pappas (a role played primarily by Gary Busey's teeth), has a theory about the identities of the Ex-Presidents, a masked gang of bank robbers on a spree in LA. "The Ex-Presidents are surfers," Pappas tells Utah. The rest plays out wonderfully from there. Johnny learns to surf and infiltrates the gang, eventually meeting up with the spiritual leader of the Ex-President, Bodhi (Swayze), who makes a damn fine Ronald Reagan.
The legacy of Point Break has many components playing into it. It is remorselessly over-the-top, with more than enough camp to make it a "watch with your friends and drink" kind of film. But the quality of the filmmaking is so high and the acting so colorful and fun, Point Break has established itself over the years a truly unique classic in the action film genre. And much of the success of Point Break lies with its leads. By no means is either actor stretching to fit his role — Reeves is an aloof but worthy adversary, and Swayze is the hardened zen master — but their serious performances still ground an otherwise ridiculous premise. By the end of the film, it's obvious why Swayze was one of the leading men of the '80s, and why Reeves went on to super-stardom.
Point Break also marked the first major box office success of its director, the future Academy Award-winning director of the Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow. Anyone who has seen work from the Best Picture-winner can attest to just how well Bigelow can shoot action, but her skills don't end there. Point Break is punctuated with moments that are strikingly beautiful. In particular, the two sky-diving sequences and the haunting, rain-soaked finale.
If any of this is new to you, do yourself a favor and seek out Point Break. Laugh at it. Get wrapped up in it. Do both. However you choose to enjoy it, rest assured that you'll bask in a fun, well-made action film.
If you've already seen Point Break, you probably haven't made it this far in the post and are already watching it.
Be sure to also check out EW's PopWatch Rewind of Point Break.

A transatlantic jet has made an emergency landing at Shannon Airport suffering problems with one of its two engines.
United Airlines flight 102 was west of Ireland when the crew advised controllers here that they were declaring an emergency and wished to divert to Shannon.
There were 98 passengers and a crew of 13 on the Boeing 767 jet which was travelling from Houston in the US to Munich in Germany.
Units of the local authority fire service from Shannon and Ennis were mobilised to Shannon as back up the to airport's own fire and rescue service. Ambulances and Limerick and Ennis were also sent to the airport.
The flight landed safely at 12.13pm and was accompanied to the terminal by emergency vehicles.
The airline has confirmed that the flight diverted because of a 'mechanical issue' and that engineers are currently investigating the problem.
Meanwhile, two Ryanair flights also diverted to Shannon this morning because of poor visibility in Knock.
A third flight from Knock, which had also diverted to Shannon, was placed in a holding pattern to facilitate the inbound emergency aircraft. The crew opted instead to reroute to Dublin.

There are pants made especially for cloth diapers! These pants have a bit more room in the back for the fluffiness of you diapers and are a guaranteed fit!
2. The stretchier the better!
Using leggings or other stretchy pants will help keep your little one's diaper covered. Jeggings are a great option, especially for baby girls!
3. Size up!
If you find that your child's normal clothing size isn't cutting it, go up a size and just roll up the legs if needed.
4. Use a trimmer insert!
Make a change with your diapers. Use an insert that is equally (or more) absorbent, yet trimmer! Hemp is a great solution!
Do you find that dressing your baby in the cooler months is harder with your cloth diapers?

As I write, Michael D Higgins has been voted in for a second term as President of Ireland. I have encountered Michael D Higgins twice in my life. Once was on his first campaign trail, in a library during a book festival. And the other occasion was years before that, in a community hall deep in the Connemara countryside.
Higgins was invited to speak at a training weekend for people involved in community radio, as I was at the time. I spent most of that weekend indulging in debauchery, but carved out time to hear him speak at a debate about racism. And I was emboldened to ask him a question.
Black vs White
As a teenager, I watched the film Ben-Hur. As I watched the final chariot rate, I noticed that the horses drawing the chariot of Ben-Hur, the hero, were white. The horses drawing the chariot of Messala, Ben-Hur's enemy were black. At a discussion around the dinner table, my father remarked on the symbolism of the colour choice. He observed that often, the word black was used to symbolise evil or disaster, while the word white symbolised purity and goodness. I was struck by this. It hadn't occurred to me before that words could be used in this way.
Now, in that room crowded with broadcasters wielding microphones, I asked Michael D Higgins why the words black and white were used in this way. I no longer remember his answer, but I remember his aura of serious thought, the weight he gave to the question. This was a question he considered worthy of his attention. Afterwards, my radio colleagues remarked on the intelligence of my question.
Acting as Ventriloquist
But it wasn't my question. It was my father's question. I took the credit for it at the time, then tucked the memory into a dusty corner of my mind. But the recent presidential election unlocked the memory. I told the story to some siblings, and as I recounted it, it hit me with force that this hadn't been my question. I had just been acting as my father's ventriloquist. He had been dead for just over a year when I asked the question. Since then, I have not been able to hear his voice, in that hall in Galway, his voice was loud and clear. And he would be tickled to know that he had put a question to the future President of Ireland.

We were in college in Austin circa 1996 but we weren't married yet. We had probably only been dating for less than a year. He was smitten but who can blame him, right? I'm kidding. I'm kiddingnotreally. We were about to part ways for the weekend. My then-boyfriend gave me a bouquet of flowers for me to take back home. They were a great size- not too large and not too big. They were beautiful and I appreciated the thought.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I left them on the bus.
And I didn't even realize it at all. I never turned around and said, "Oh, no! I forgot my flowers!" or anything of the sort.
Never crossed my mind.
Speaking of flowers, it seems like some girls always have a favorite kind. I'm always jealous of those girls. I know roses, lilies, daisies, Gerber daisies and, you know, those basic kind. Some girls rattle off the fancy, less common flowers and say those are their favorites. I want to be one of those girls when I grow up.

I have heard it said that celebrities die in three's. Recent weeks would attest to the fact that this is not true. The latest, sadly, is Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame. The world has lost a beloved icon, and everywhere you turn you see people wishing her well…R.I.P. Carrie Fisher.
The cold, hard truth is that there isn't any "rest in peace" for her or anyone else who has not received Jesus as their Savior.
Right at this moment, I have just infuriated probably every person reading this. You are thinking, or probably saying, that I am a cold-hearted _________, fill in the blank. The truth is exactly the opposite. I am absolutely devastated that Carrie has gone. I have cried my heart out, and will again. But I don't cry because she was Carrie Fisher, superstar. I cry because she was Carrie Fisher, sinner, not saved by grace, and not in Heaven with Jesus right now, and there is nothing anymore that can be done about it.
She is not resting at peace.
Instead, she is tormented. And I am sorry to say all this. But the truth is, I don't care that you may be offended. If that is what it takes to get your attention, then so be it. The cold, hard fact is that if you don't ask Jesus to be your Savior, then your soul will live in torment for eternity, too. There is no peace in that.
60 years is too young, and so is your age, whatever it is- whether you are 15 or 90. Death can come at any time. What tears at my soul is that Carrie was willing to hear the truth about Jesus. I remember reading a couple of years ago that she claimed to be an agnostic, but she said she was a "hopeful agnostic." Hopeful because she would love for someone to prove to her that God exists. I have prayed for her ever since. I prayed that someone would talk to her, show her. She needed to know how very much God loved her, so much that He sent His own Son to die to take the punishment for her sins.
I could have done more. That is why I'm angry with myself. Today, with ready access to just about anyone through social media, I could have at least attempted to contact her, to share God's love with her, but I didn't. And now it is too late. But by golly, I am not going to let it be too late for you. I don't know who you are. I don't know your story. But I do know that every person on the face of this planet is loved by God, including you. And I know that He wants every person to receive His salvation so they can go to Heaven, including you. But I also know that every single person that has ever lived, or ever will live, is sinful. Because of that sin, none of us can be in the presence of God in Heaven without some miraculous intervention.
What I have just told you won't be enough, so here are the facts from the Word of God, the Bible. Before you read any further, pray. Even if you don't believe in God right at this very moment. I don't care. Do it anyway. Ask Him to help you see the truth and understand. What I am about to write is it.
This is your chance to get in a right relationship with God. Please. Please, do not reject Him. He will not poo-poo your rejection when you die. He will not say, "Oh, I know you didn't mean it. Come on in." No.
Matthew 7:21-23 – "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"
You think I'm being harsh about what happens after you die? Read the story Jesus told about a poor man named Lazarus, and the unnamed rich man who decided to believe in God only when it was too late.
Luke 16:19-26 – 19 "There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell[a] from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 "Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'"
There is a Hell. Whether you want to believe it or not. There is a Heaven. And there is a God who made both. He will send those who reject Him to Hell. Why? If He is so loving, why would He do that? Because He is also fair and just. He would not be fair or just if He left wrongdoing unpunished. Wrongdoing is sin. Ever tell a lie? Ever disobey your parents? Ever been jealous of someone? Ever stolen? Twisted the truth? Used the name of God in a way that was not respectful? Ever hit your brother? Cheat on homework? Knowingly take a pen, paper, whatever from work without paying for it? The list goes on and on and on. Even the best of people have sinned. We can't help it. It is our very nature. Romans 3:23 – "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
God is just. What is the punishment for our sin? Death. Spiritual death, which is eternal separation from God and all that is good. Romans 6:23 – "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell. 2 Peter 3:9 – "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[a] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
I said that God loves you and wants you to be with Him in Heaven.
John 3:16 – " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus is God's Son. We just celebrated His miraculous birth. He was fully human, and at the same time fully God. He lived 33 years on this earth in the body of His own creation. He had his diapers changed, sneezed when He had a cold, vomited when He had the flu, and winced in pain when He stubbed His toe. But He never, ever, once in all those 33 years from the day He was born until the day He died, sinned. Not ever.
God's justice for sin demands punishment by death. He took on human form, took the blame for our sins when He had no guilt Himself, and allowed Himself to be brutally sacrificed. That's right. For you. He did what no one else could. He saved us from the power of sin over us, and from the punishment for our sins.
Jesus offers that salvation to every person, but He won't force it on anyone.
I can't make you read this, listen to it, and respond to it. As much as I would like to. Jesus won't make you respond to Him. He wants you to come to Him because you want to, not because He made you. There is only one way to get to Heaven. That is to accept the salvation that Jesus offers. If you don't acknowledge that you are a sinner, then you won't believe that you need Jesus. You will think you can get to Heaven all on your own power. Good luck. Remember the verse up above? The one that says didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we cast out demons in your name and do many wondrous things? But Jesus said, "I never knew you." Why? Because they were trying to do it on their own.
John 14:6 – "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" No. Other. Way.
Ephesians 2:8-9 – "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast." You can't work your way into Heaven. You can't believe there is a god somewhere out there, but not accept the salvation offered by the One and only True God, and get to Heaven. There is one way, and only one way.
Acts 16:31 – "So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.'" Jesus is the way.
Are you ready? Have you opened your heart to hear and understand what God is trying to tell you? Don't reject Him today. Instead, confess to Him that you know you are a sinner. Tell Him you are sorry, and ask Him to forgive you. Then ask Jesus to be your Savior. Do it today. Don't wait a moment longer. I guarantee you Carrie Fisher did not think she was going to have a heart attack when she boarded that plane in London, and she certainly did not think she would be dead days later. Can you foretell your future?
1 John 1:9 – "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Be cleansed from your sins today. Let Jesus take the load of your guilt. He has already paid the penalty. Now let Him lift the weight off your shoulders. Accept His salvation, and He guarantees you a reserved spot in Heaven. Please. This chance may never come again.
Jesus said, (Revelation 3:20) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me."

Defrag Tools #156 - Critical Path Analysis with Windows Performance Analyzer
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Chad Beeder and Sylvain Goyette demonstrate how to do critical path analysis in Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA), to troubleshoot apps which have an unresponsive UI. WPA is available in the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
[00:00] Introductions and overview
[02:10] Thread scheduling states (for lots of details see the Windows Internals book)
[04:28] Sylvain's sample app - click a button and the UI hangs
[05:10] To diagnose: Launch Windows Performance Recorder and get a verbose mode trace using First level triage and CPU usage profiles.
[07:40] Open the trace in Windows Performance Analyzer. Make sure you have the symbol path configured (including the symbols for your app).
[09:19] First, look at the UI Delays graph and find the hung UI thread.
[10:40] Then look at CPU Usage. Start with the UI thread we found previously and, using the CPU Usage (Precise) events, find the dependency on another thread.
[15:11] Look at the call stacks - New Thread Stack and Ready Thread Stack columns. Ready Thread tells you what it was waiting on. Repeat as necessary to find what we were ultimately waiting on.
[23:10] Can also look at the CPU Usage (Sampled) view to get a statistical view of what the CPU was doing during a given time period.
[24:42] Another example: Do the same type of analysis on a boot trace, starting with looking at the Windows Logon instrumentation to see why logon is slow.
[29:29] Questions? Email us at email@example.com

I love reading. I remember in early grade school checking out a stack of 10-15 books at a time and going back a day or two later to check out more. In 4th grade I wondered why I was being sent to the principal's office only to find out the school nurse was there to test my eyesight.
Within a few weeks I received my first pair of glasses for nearsightedness (objects blurry far away). I continued to love reading and every year I would go to the eye doctor and get a stronger prescription each time.
My path toward Optometry began my sophomore year of high school. In our Anatomy/Physiology class we were asked to write a report on a science related profession. Our family the year before had joined the sailing club in Klamath Falls, OR and one of the best sailboat racers was an Optometrist. He also played a wonderful trombone.
As that was my instrument I reasoned that he seemed to know what was going on in life so I wrote my paper about Optometry. I liked what I learned about the profession and since I wore glasses I decided to "set sail" toward Optometry school.
We will do anything we can to help a patient rid themselves of the frustration or self talk of, "I'm stupid!" caused by a vision-related learning problem.
I attended Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR for undergraduate school to try and improve my chances of getting into the Optometry school. My first 2 years of undergraduate studies went well. My junior year started and something was different. I would start to study and after only about 10-15 minutes I would find myself falling asleep. I thought, "This is college, I must be staying up too late." So, I got more rest but the problem actually worsened.
I found that my reading comprehension started to fade away and I can still remember how frustrating it was to read one paragraph 6 times in a row and still not recall what I had read. One of my classes at the time was Organic Chemistry, a prerequisite class for Optometry school. I was not doing well and I knew I needed to do well on the next test. I kept track that week and studied 30 hours for the chemistry test! My score…8 points out of 50…ouch!
I began to seriously think about my backup plans if I did not get accepted to Optometry school. Either playing my trombone in the Air Force or being a chef were my two options at the time. I made myself an appointment at the Optometry School clinic to see if my glasses had changed. The glasses had not, but my eye coordination had changed. The intern showed me that though my nearsightedness was the same my convergence (ability to aim my eyes inward as with reading) had "blown out." He explained that I was spending so much energy trying to make my eyes work together while reading, that as a result my brain was essentially shutting the visual system down to conserve energy.
I began a visual therapy program right away and after 6-8 weeks noticed I was no longer falling asleep and I was remembering what I had read. Literally by God's grace I received a 'C' in chemistry and was able to start Optometry school the next year.
That experience, the frustration and despair I felt for those few weeks will never be forgotten. That is the essence of our motto. "Enhancing vision today…to help reach goals for tomorrow." We will do anything we can to help a patient rid themselves of the frustration or self talk of, "I'm stupid!" caused by a vision-related learning problem. It is never too late. It is treatable at any age.
Please complete the Visual Efficiency Checklist. If the scoring indicates a potential problem for you or a loved one call or email our office with any further questions or to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely yours,
D. Todd Wylie, OD, FCOVD .

David Gregory: perhaps practicing to have Torre "Meet The Press"
photo: pvsbond from flickr
The Dodgers had a big fan rooting them on last night at Citizen's Bank Park, he was even on the radio pre-game with Jim Jackson. In case you didn't know his name or thought 'he looks familiar but I don't know his name', he had his Dodgers jacket on with his name and the number '4' on the back. David Gregory who is on NBC's "Meet The Press" was in town and rooting his favorite team on.
He probably left the stadium in a sour mood, though and that's how the Phillies fans like it!
The fans were very vocal last night to Manny Ramirez. "You took steroids" was the chant from just about everywhere in the stadium every time he went up to the plate. I am not so sure you could hear it on TV, but the fans were letting Manny have it. The fans in the left field area just near Harry the K's restaurant pounced on Manny as soon as he took his spot in left field, they jeered him very loudly and he must have turned a deaf ear to it all because it didn't seem to bother him all that much.
Manny would have been the hero for the Dodgers last night, as his game saving catch corresponded with a good night at the plate for him. He's going to be in the Hall of Fame someday so we have to chalk it down as we are actually seeing one of baseball's legends play the game.
The Phillies meanwhile are making their own legends. Jimmy Rollins is already perhaps the best shortstop to play the game for the Phillies with his clutch performances and his catalyst ways. Ryan Howard is putting himself into the stratosphere with every passing game. He just tied a guy named Lou Gehrig for the most postseason rbi's streak at 8 games in a row with an rbi. If in Wednesday's game, Howard hit's a runner in, the record will be his. Cliff Lee is upping his stock price for the coming years with his tough pitching performances, and the Phillies aren't done yet. There may be another 7 game series for them coming up real soon.

Being a son of the soil takes on a very different0 meaning for Pandurang Taware. Born into a farmer's household, he chose to pursue a professional career in tourism instead. Today, the 39-year-old chief of the Agri Tourism Development Corporation has carved out a niche for himself by pioneering the concept of agri-tourism in India. Since he started this business four years ago, nearly 50,000 guests have flocked to his farms in Baramati, Maharashtra to spend a holiday, and learn a thing or two about rustic living. Besides other reasons, Pune is on the global map because agricultural tourism more popularly known as agri-tourism. A concept initiated by Taware has been recognised by the United Nation World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO). The organisation, Agri Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC), came up with the concept two years ago to celebrate World Agritourism Day. Today this concept has been included in the world tourism event calender of 2010 released by the UNWTO. The event will be held in the city on May 16 at Balgandhrva Rangamandir. Taware, who comes from a farming family in Baramati himself, says, "Agri-tourism is not all about staying in a village and relishing the food. This is an opportunity to see the life of a farmer closely. They make up more than 60 per cent of India's population. If you live on a farm, for whatever short duration and observe the daily chores of the villagers, you will surely learn to respect a farmer." Taware got groups of farmers to come together and start co-operatives. So far, seven such agri-tourism co-operatives have been formed and started the Maharashtra State Agri and Rural Tourism Cooperatives Federation (MART). Besides Baramati, MART-affiliated members operate from 124 dedicated sites across Maharashtra. This has benefitted over 400 farmers so far. Now ATDC plans to expand its business to the economically backward regions of Maharashtra so farmers here can benefit from agritourism. Taware has a farm at Baramati where he developed an agri-tourism site four years ago.As many as 22 agri-tourism sites have been developed around Pune. Agri-tourism gives guests a chance to experience activities like milking cows, picking fruits, visiting wineries, swimming in a pond or bathing near a well.

S: JARETT & JANA v. JAPAN / S. KOREA
1: A Foray to Japan and Korea In 2004, Jarett "the explorer" Doyle embarked on a journey of self-discovery to the beautiful land of Japan, and his life was forever changed. In 2011, I was fortunate to share in Jarett's life in Japan during our trip to Japan and Korea. My first experience of both countries and their respective cultures was nothing short of spectacular, from the generosity and amazing hospitality of the Japanese people (especially our hosts), to the round-the-clock hustle and bustle of Seoul.

As an impressionable young man, I was so captivated by the land, the culture, the people, and their beliefs, that coming back to Canada for my MBA education was more of a culture shock than traveling there in the first place. I needed to go back to see the places and people I so cherished when I was there. I don't want to call it closure (because I think I will be back again) but it had that feel. To share this with Jana was a must for me, because such a large part of who I am today is seeded in that year I spent in Japan. South Korea was, more than anything, a chance for me to see my brother Shane in his element. He has spent a significant portion of his adult life teaching English in South Korea, yet I had never taken the time to visit. Though our visit was short, I will remember it vividly. I get the sense he appreciates the lifestyle that his South Korean life offers more than that which is offered up by his birth country. Now having experienced it for myself, I can see why - Jarett Doyle, Oct/Nov 2011

We all know about the tragedy that continues to unfold in Japan. As Japan endures aftershocks and the rest of the world does everything in her power – but seemingly never enough – to help the Land of the Rising Sun, we can see that at least some of our going-out dollars go towards relief.
Fortunately, two of my favorite sources of wine and beer in town have kicked off benefits where 50% or even 100% of proceeds from sales will go to Japan.
Cube (Today – Tuesday, March 29th, 2011):
Cube will donate 100% of proceeds from sales of the following three red wines by the glass to the American Red Cross' disaster relief programs in Japan:
- 2006 Brigaldara Amarone ($18)
- 2008 Nicodemi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ($10)
- 2009 Zuani Collio Bianco ($12)
All three wines will be distinguished on Cube's wines by the glass (vini al bicchieri) list with a '+'.
UPDATE: Cube has just added 2 pastas to the Red Cross – Japan benefit menu: Maltagliati with Oxtail Ragu and Red Cow Parmesan, Gnocchi with Lamb Sausage Bolognese and Red Cow Parmasan. They both are dressed in red sauces in keeping with their "RED for RED" Japan relief theme. So enjoy either (or both?) of these delicious pastas and wash it down with a RED for RED wine while knowing those dollars will help with disaster relief.
Eagle Rock Brewery(Today at 4Â PM – Sunday, March 27, 2011 at 6 PM):
Raise a pint of Solidarity for Japan in Eagle Rock Brewery's own taproom. They'll be donating 50% of proceeds from every pint of the dark mild ale sold to UNICEF's efforts to help the children in Japan who have been impacted by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.
So get out there and make every liquid dollar count towards Japan earthquake and tsunami relief. You might as well support local biz and enjoy some solid wines and beers while you're at it.

Last month, on the day after he turned 49, Bobby Flay could be found where most of his fans expect him to be: racing around with a knife in a big room bathed in spotlights.
The setting was a soundstage in Brooklyn where he was taping a new Food Network show called "Beat Bobby Flay." As with other programs that have involved the effortlessly charming, perpetually multitasking, maddeningly slim chef who can come across as the George Clooney of American gastronomy, the show was predicated on the simple idea that it's fun to try to make Mr. Flay lose.
In reality, he doesn't lose very often. Of all the chefs of the last two decades who have tried juggling the roles of hands-on cook, TV star, face of an expanding entrepreneurial empire and human being with some dignity left intact, Mr. Flay may be the least prone to slip. (Put in a call to Todd English or Rocco DiSpirito if you want a few lessons on how a ride on the gravy train can go off the rails. There's a reason Mr. Flay has declined offers to swivel his hips on "Dancing With the Stars.")
But one important achievement has eluded him. For several years, Mr. Flay has not had a restaurant that is considered part of New York's pantheon, and he clearly craves the extra splash of respect that that once brought him. In February, he and his longtime business partner, Laurence Kretchmer, plan to open Gato, the chef's first new Manhattan dining establishment in nearly a decade.
Gato represents an obsessive midlife quest for Mr. Flay, and a test case for whether any celebrity chef can command both the mass-market spotlight and credibility as a culinary auteur. Can a guy who hosts "Worst Cooks in America," oversees an expanding network of mall-ready burger joints, and currently has more brand presence at the Mohegan Sun casino than in Manhattan return to his roots and win hosannas for a serious restaurant in his hometown?
New York will soon find out. "I'm putting myself on the line," he said.
At this point, if anything has a chance of beating Bobby Flay, it's fame itself — the widespread impression that he is drawn more by the glare of the soundstage than the glow of the stove.
"People think that I don't cook," he said. "And it's just the furthest thing from the truth. But that's O.K., I can't fight that battle anymore. And I think the people who shout that out just decide that they feel that way, because they want to get under your skin a little bit. But at this point it's pretty hard to hurt my feelings. I've heard it all, and I'm still here."
Not so long ago, Mr. Flay stood at the helm of three New York restaurants that helped catapult him into the comfortable perch that the chef now occupies: Mesa Grill, Bolo and Bar Americain, all places where the cooking was unpretentiously winning.
The first two, which opened in 1991 and 1993, respectively, fell victim to the force that has been Mr. Flay's most troubling antagonist: the whims of the city's real estate market. After more than 22 years in business, Mesa Grill closed last year when the rent was set to triple or even quadruple. That hurt.
"I was looking back at the restaurant, and my daughter could see that I was getting very emotional," he recalled of leaving his last supper there, in August. "She was like, 'Dad, you can cry, it's O.K.,' and I just bawled. Dude, it was my youth. It was my whole life. My whole career is based on the existence and the success of Mesa Grill. And all of a sudden it's not there anymore." (Mesa Grill lives on in Las Vegas and the Bahamas, though; Mr. Flay and Mr. Kretchmer also operate Bar Americains in Manhattan and the Mohegan Sun, and a surf-and-turf-centric steakhouse in Atlantic City.)
Mr. Flay was already bruised from the closing, about five years earlier, of Bolo, where he had helped stoke the city's appetite for the salt, citrus and olive oil of Spain — and had scored three stars from William Grimes in The New York Times. Just as Bolo's lease was due to lapse, developers materialized one day in 2007, Mr. Flay said, and informed him that they had big plans for that block of the East 20s. "These guys came in and they built a 60-story glass condominium," he said. "Basically they told us, 'It's over.' "
On the day after Bolo roasted its last clove of garlic, Mr. Flay urged Mr. Kretchmer to start scouting for new locations. "Every time I'd see Bobby, he'd say, 'I've got to reopen Bolo, I've got to find a space for Bolo,' " recalled Alex Guarnaschelli, the chef behind Butter, and another Food Network regular. She called Bolo his "girl that got away."
Gato — on Lafayette Street, a few steps north of Houston Street at the pedestrian vortex of SoHo, NoHo and Greenwich Village — is Mr. Flay's chance to remind New Yorkers about the thing that made him famous in the first place: his cooking. He calls Gato "the most important thing I've done in a decade — period."
"I have to do it for me," he said. "I would feel empty if I didn't do it. I feel, like, unfinished business."
While Bolo hinged on the cuisine of Spain, the menu at Gato will encompass other regions around the Mediterranean — Italy, Provence, Greece, North Africa. "Tons of olive oil," Mr. Flay said. "Tons of salty flavors like anchovies and olives and capers. Lots of citrus. Tons of things like tomatoes and peppers, both hot and sweet."
Lately, that Mediterranean influence has become as ubiquitous as pretzel carts in New York. "Now piquillo peppers are on everybody's menu," Mr. Flay said. Gato will be a short walk from a bounty of locations where next-generation chefs are offering up tantalizing permutations of the Romance Languages approach, including Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria, Lafayette, Estela, Cata and Balaboosta, where the chef, Einat Admony, happens to be a veteran of the kitchen at Bolo. Not far away, Tertulia and Toro celebrate Iberian cooking with booming enthusiasm and granular-level obsession.
In other words, Bobby Flay is not the cool new kid on the block anymore. He appears to be fine with that. "I grew up in New York, and New York basically invented competition," he said. Jonathan Waxman, who became his mentor after Mr. Flay dropped out of high school and trained at spots like Jams, Bud's and Hulot's, said decades of experience had only sharpened his protégé's focus.
"Listen, he can cook," said Mr. Waxman, who is now at Barbuto. "Jazz musicians just get better and better as the years go by. I think chefs are the same way. You know who you are."
From the standpoint of media buzz, though, the stretch from 1993 to 2014 may as well represent the chasm between Miles Davis and Miley Cyrus.
Back then, the Internet's use as a gladiatorial arena for news-spreading, snack-snapshotting and merciless celebrity-flogging was still years away. This time around, Mr. Flay (who has been married for almost nine years to the actress Stephanie March) knows what's in store. "I am a target," he said. "There's no question about it. But the only thing I can do is just try my best to open up a really good restaurant."
About six years ago, when he and Mr. Kretchmer trial-ballooned the first Bobby's Burger Palace, where each burger can be "crunchified" by the addition of potato chips and each milkshake is dense with 11 ounces of ice cream, they did it far away from the cold and watchful eyes of the metropolitan media. "We opened up at Suffolk County, where no one could find us," Mr. Kretchmer said. "Because we wanted to figure it out." After a little while in stealth mode, he said, "we got a little braver."
Shake Shack planted the seeds of its brand mythology in Manhattan, then spread outward; Bobby's Burger Palace has done the opposite. There are now 17 locations, and millions of dollars in annual grosses, but city dwellers still have to navigate a bridge or a tunnel to experience a crunchified Palace Classic. "I didn't want to open in New York," Mr. Flay said. "New York doesn't prove or disprove concepts like this."
Although he and his partner have set a lot of enterprises spinning, their overriding strategy for avoiding disaster may be manageability. They prefer to open restaurants that are easy to get to from their downtown Manhattan apartments. Mr. Flay has avoided building a spot in Hong Kong because it's "too far away," he said.
In the same spirit, he says he strives never to wander too far from what he sees as his core: He says yes only to TV shows that concentrate on cooking, as opposed to, say, trying to build a campfire on a tropical island. He and Mr. Kretchmer dodge the meddling of outside investors by simply declining to work with them; the two take on all the financial risk themselves. (Mr. Flay wouldn't say how much they're spending on Gato, but he conceded that even if its 130 seats are full every night, they'll be lucky to break even. While the burger places each bring in an average of $2 million to $3 million a year, Mr. Flay said, all of that is poured back into the growth of the chain.)
Should you travel to a Burger Palace in, say, Paramus, N.J., you may spot Mr. Flay behind the counter, just as he sometimes materializes in chef's whites at Bar Americain in Midtown. Because of his constant presence on the Food Network, people seem to assume that he spends most of his time in television studios.
In fact, he said, he can shoot an entire season of a show like "Beat Bobby Flay" in three or four days (with strategic wardrobe changes), leaving the rest of a month open for cooking and keeping tabs on his various restaurants, which he views as a higher priority than his TV career.
"It's not even close," he said. "I come from a place of food integrity first. I'll never do anything to be a clown, you know what I'm saying? The Food Network has done wonders for my career, because obviously it has opened up a lot of doors in lots of different ways. But the thing that gets me jazzed every day are the restaurants."
Especially Gato. Mere hours after he had taped the last segment of "Beat Bobby Flay," he and Mr. Kretchmer boarded a plane to Europe. Though the menu at Gato is more or less ready to roll, the duo wanted one more gullet-stuffing pass through Paris, Rome and Barcelona as a way to get fired up about their debut.
In Barcelona they dropped into a tapas place called Paco Meralgo and ordered a deceptively simple dish involving eggs and artichokes. When Mr. Flay talks about that dish now, his voice grows nearly as heated as the oven-scorched cazuela it arrived in.
"They were the most perfectly scrambled eggs I'd ever had," he said. "My feeling was, there is no other dish in the world right now. This is what I want to eat."
Mr. Kretchmer recalled, "He turned to me and he said, 'We're doing this.' "
Indeed, a twist on the dish will appear on the menu at Gato as "scrambled eggs, artichokes, Meyer lemon."
"It's definitely on there," Mr. Flay said. With any luck the chef himself will bring it to the table.

Series: The Witchlands, #1
Author: Susan Dennard
Website ~ Blog ~ Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Pinterest ~ Tumblr ~ YouTube
Published: January 5, 2015
Publisher: Tor Teen
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Pages: 416
Format: Hardcover
Source: Bought
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble—as two desperate young women know all too well.
Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It's a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.
Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safi's hotheaded impulsiveness.
Safi and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship's captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
Truthwitch has been one of my most anticipated 2016 reads. I absolutely LOVED her Something Strange and Deadly trilogy, and needed more of her writing. The moment I heard about it in Susan Dennard's Misfits & Daydreamers newsletter (which is amazing), I knew I needed it in my hands. I was so sad to hear that it was pushed back from December 2015 to January 2016, but it was well worth the wait. Also being a part of The Witchlands, the Street Team for the book, made me more excited (it had its highs and lows, but that's a discussion for a later date).
The Witchlands is full of magic of many kinds, from water to fire, earth to air, and aether to, the believed extinct, void. With there being so many different witcheries, war is inevitable. Enter Safi and Iseult, two young women who are in the midst of something much bigger than themselves. They're on the run from people who want to control them, but they would do anything to keep from being captured.
The reason why I love this book so much is because of them emphasis on friendship. Yeah, there's a little bit of romance, but that's not the focus. So many books seem to be all about whether or not the boy and girl get together, however, Truthwitch focuses on two best friends relying on each other for safety and to what lengths they'll go to to protect the other. The constant threat of danger keeps the readers on edge wanting to know if the pair escapes their enemies in the nick of time. This non-stop action paired with amazing magical abilities creates a gorgeous fantasy world. While fire, water, earth, and air are elements that everyone is already familiar with, aether and void are new (at least to me) and helped to set this world's magic apart from others.
The characters also make it a great read. First there are Safi and Iseult, the best friends fighting for control over their lives. Safi was born into a noble family and is hot-headed, impulsive, and stubborn. Isuelt is her complete opposite. Born into a nomadic minority, she faces discrimination from everyone. She's calm, quiet, and contemplative. The two balance each other, creating a great pair. Then there's Merik, a Windwitch prince who has a tendency to get riled up. And last, but certainly not least, is Aeduan, a Bloodwitch who won't stop until he's finished what he's set out to do. These four characters keep the plot moving, with its many twists and turns.
Overall, this book was a beautiful fantasy novel that created a gorgeous world and unique characters. With its ending it's needless to say that I desperately need the sequel!
