Two Bally Total Fitness members have filed a lawsuit in federal court against both Bally and LA Fitness seeking class-action status on behalf of Bally members who have lifetime memberships.
The complaint, Juan Dorado, Michael Markzon, v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp., LA Fitness International LLC, was filed Sunday night in the United States District Court for Northern Illinois, Eastern Division, in Chicago.
The plaintiffs argue that Chicago-based Bally and Irvine, CA-based LA Fitness violated the Federal Honest Services Act, the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Illinois Common Law Breach of Contract.
LA Fitness finalized its purchase of 171 Bally Total Fitness clubs for $153 million on Nov. 30 and, according to its website, was scheduled to close 36 of those acquired clubs. All 27 of the Chicago-area Bally clubs transferred to LA Fitness, and four of the clubs closed in December.
The lawsuit claims that LA Fitness is not honoring lifetime memberships and will not allow access to former Bally members unless they purchase a new membership. Also, the suit claims that LA Fitness clubs purchased from Bally in one area of the country, such as Seattle, are not honoring Bally memberships if they were purchased in another state, such as Texas. For other potential plaintiffs, there are no nearby LA Fitness facilities for former Bally members to use, according to the complaint.
Dorado and Markzon are both Chicago-area residents. Dorado owns four Bally lifetime memberships, which he purchased for himself and three family members, and Markzon owns one Bally lifetime membership, according to the complaint.
Dorado claims he was told that he and his family can still work out at a Bally club in St. Louis, which is approximately five hours from Chicago. Markzon claims that his membership was transferred to LA Fitness, but that the company is not honoring the membership because it was purchased in Kansas.
"Bally wants everyone to think that it made a mistake. It's not a mistake," says attorney Christopher Cooper, who is representing the plaintiffs in the complaint. "This shows an attempt, a real attempt, to deceive the public. You can't tell me that the Bally executives and the LA Fitness executives didn't realize that people have relocated to other parts of the United States. To me, it looks like fraud.
"This behavior by Bally and LA Fitness executives is disgusting behavior. It's dishonest behavior. It's wrongful behavior."
In addition to requesting the court to make this a class-action case, the plaintiffs want their lifetime memberships honored and the opportunity to work out at a Bally or LA Fitness club. They also seek compensatory damages and costs and expenses incurred, including legal fees.
Bally says as a matter of corporate policy, it does not comment on pending litigation. LA Fitness said Tuesday night it had recently received the complaint and it has no comment at this time.
Last month, LA Fitness Principal Paul Norris told Club Industry that the company would honor all Bally lifetime memberships. Cooper says he has not seen that policy put in place.
Club Industry has received more than 60 comments to its website since the acquisition was announced. Most of those comments involve Bally members who have voiced their frustration about their memberships.

As part of our blog series, Luxe Ladies, we're featuring a real member of the Luxemi.com community to learn about her and her relationship with Indian fashion.
Luxe Report readers, meet Alana. We recently chatted with Alana about her life, her fashion inspirations, and, of course, Luxemi!
Luxemi: Can you give us your stats? Where you live, what you do?
Alana: I live in Chicago and work as a National Account Exec for a trade show company that produces local jewelry trade shows.
Luxemi: How would you describe your style?
Alana: My style is definitely eclectic, and I love mixing highs and lows. I need to feel comfortable and confident in what I'm wearing; those are the 2 fashion rules I always follow.
Luxemi: Where do you find your fashion inspiration? Any fashion icons you look up to?
Alana: I could peruse Paris street style blogs all day if I had the time. Their style is classic and feminine, all the while having an edge that American style cannot seem to grasp. When it comes to my style icons, they are two polar opposites (but I love them both equally!): Kate Moss and Audrey Hepburn. They always look(ed) so comfortable in their own skin, almost as though they never questioned anything they put on. I am very attracted to that type of confidence.
Luxemi: What is your relationship with Indian fashion?
Alana: The brilliant colors used in Indian fashion, especially in weddings, are so appealing, and I have always been a fan of the beautiful, gold jewelry. The fashion is so outgoing and has a personality of its own!
Luxemi: Why did you try Luxemi?
Alana: I knew I needed a major fashion strategy after receiving invites to 4 Indian weddings this summer (one was all the way in Slovakia!). Renting through Luxemi gave me the opportunity to play around with my own style without the heavy investments required for a lot of Indian outfits. In the end, I rented a beautiful sea green sari and an embellished suit.
Luxemi: Where did you wear Luxemi? How was your look received?
Alana: I wore the sari to a wedding reception and the suit to a Sangeet. It seemed every auntie at the reception complemented me on the color, and the girls loved the ornate embellishments. The suit was loved by all, and many asked if I had it custom made!
Luxemi: What did you think about your Luxemi experience?
Alana: I love shopping with Luxemi even when I am not looking for anything in particular. The site is
so easy to shop and I truly trust the fashion sense of the curators behind Luxemi.
Luxemi: Any fashion advice/secrets you'd like to share with Luxe Report followers?
Alana: At the end of the day, fashion is supposed to make you feel good. Just have fun!

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019
The 2019 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT takes the already-proven long-distance performance of the previous GT model and amplifies it even further with added improvements. The same deranged combination that the previous SUPER DUKE GT had of THE BEAST's interstellar V-twin performance with the comfort and equipment needed for all-day, two-up charging - but now intensified with additional enhancements, refinements and new features which further boost performance, while adding to its long-distance hunting skills.

A draft copy of "Order 1050.1F – Environmental Impact: Policies and Procedures" was released to the public for comment in mid-August. It amends the current document on policies and procedures, Order 1050.1E, which guides how the FAA complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
A significant proposed change includes the new guideline that the FAA use what is known as a categorical exclusion to implement NextGen and satellite-based flight procedures – similar to the controversial new takeoff procedure at LaGuardia Airport - across the country.
Current policy calls for changes to new and existing flight patterns that occur under 3,000 feet be subject to an environmental assessment, which would examine the potential impacts on noise and pollution and discuss possible ways to mitigate those factors.
On the other hand, a categorical exclusion, places the determination on whether a proposed change has an environmental impact up to the FAA administrator with no public input or review.
"The FAA is basically given a pass from doing an environmental review," said Barbara Lichman, a California-based attorney specializing in aviation and airport issues. "Basically, every change in a flight path is going to go without an environmental review."
Lichman said any changes to a flight pattern are bound to have some sort of environmental impact.
"You are changing where the noise goes and to some extent where the air pollution falls," she said, calling the proposed changes "the anti-thesis of NEPA."
"NEPA was meant to be a vehicle for the disclosure of environmental impacts and their significance, but this exempts changes that would have been subject to environmental review," she said. "It completely removes the public review and analysis of these impacts."
The public has until September 30 to comment on the proposed changes, at which point the FAA will decide whether to adopt them as official policy.
This use of a categorical exclusion was actually mandated by Congress when it passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 to expedite the implementation of NextGen and satellite-based procedures without having them held up in lengthy environmental reviews.
"This isn't streamlining, this is steamrolling," said Robert Whitehair, co-founder of Queens Quiet Skies and a former airport director. "The FAA can now basically do whatever they want."
Included in satellite-base procedures is the new "TNNIS" route for takeoffs out of LaGuardia Airport, which has been the source of noise issues in neighborhoods across northeast Queens for the last year and a half.
Residents have been calling on the FAA to undertake an environmental review of the new procedure, but the agency has refused.
"Enabled by Congress, the FAA is giving itself a free pass to make sweeping changes in flight procedures under the NextGen program without the burdens of environmental review that benefits the public," said Janet McEneaney, president of Queens Quiet Skies. "Communities under the new flight paths will be subjected to more noise and more pollution without recourse to the environmental reviews we used to be guaranteed under federal law."
Lichman said the FAA could call for an environmental review instead of issuing a categorical exclusion, but said it's unlikely.
"When Congress gives you a green light to issue a CatEx, you are going to use it," she said.

When Posting About the Yankees Management...
We tried to give everyone a little extra leeway the past week or so to allow everyone to vent, but now that things have calmed down a little I would just like to remind everyone that the community standards apply not just regarding posts about players or your fellow users, but also when you're posting about those in Yankees management. We encourage everyone to post their opinions freely, positive or negative, about the Yankees management or anything else, but please make sure to do so in an appropriate way, without insults, name-calling or bashing.
As always, if you see a post that you feel might violate the community standards please use the report this post feature or contact one a member of the moderation team by PM or email.
Thank you.[URL="http://www.aplaceformyphotos.com/blog/"]http://www.aplaceformyphotos.com/blog/[/URL]

I appreciate all the members of the bands who participated in this year's Battle of the Bands contest. Your efforts provided us with one of our best shows ever.
Our three judges selected for the first time a "Judge's Choice Winner." That honor went to "Variety Pak" from Delta, Ohio.
A key to the success of the event is the involvement of many behind-the-scenes volunteers, including: the REACT security team, helpers at the gates and voting table, the official counters, the electrical expansion team and the sound management team on the stage.
A local Morenci band, "TBA" (also know as, "Nunya" and "Kevlar"), won the popular vote for the third year in a row. They may change their name each year, but their classic rock and roll music is consistently high caliber with the audiences.
The popularity of our Battle of the Bands has increased each year since its inception in 2008, according to our voting attendance. The original attendance was 366 in 2008; 426 in 2009 and 538 this year.
Prompted by our successful format, we have observed nearby towns follow our lead and initiate their own Battle of the Bands programs. Waldron started one in 2008. This year Hudson had representatives here to observe, take notes and meet the bands. Hudson is planning a Battle of the Bands July 31 at its festival.
It is my challenge each year to make the next year's Battle even better than the previous. I observe, analyze and collect input from the audiences and the bands every year.
So, for next year I am planning an expanded format, which will involve two brackets. I think it will be the fairest way to include all the bands in a competition that recognizes and welcomes the diversity of music and a wide ranging audience.
Again, I seek to put together a fun, fair and entertaining program for everyone involved. As in all contests, the end result produces one winner, but by having the initiative to join in our Battle, that makes them all winners in my eyes.

Festival Entertainment Director

Weather or not
May 15th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments
Ok, seriously. Can't we master simple PHP classes like a sensible weather data retrieval library?
I've tried a few solutions but all of them suck due to poor documentation (PHP Weather I'm looking at you), jingoistic support for only USA airports (PHPWeatherLib) or being otherwise perfect but too simplistic (Google Weather API).
Herein lies a GitHub submission for a simple weather forecast wrapper around Weather Underground's beautifully simple API.
Its designed to be as simplistic as possible while still providing some handy functionality.
I'll probably keep adding to its functionality as needed.
Documentation is provided inline (PHPDoc) as well as in the docs folder with fancy frames and such.

Red 28! Red 28! I like candy! Hut! Hut!
This Sunday is the 44th Super Bowl in American history. Despite its youth, it will be the largest food consumption event of the year, trailing only Thanksgiving. It isn't a national holiday (though many would like it to be), but that doesn't stop over 130 million Americans from treating it like one.
It's estimated that Americans will spend over $55 million dollars on food for the Super Bowl. What will all that money buy? Mostly snack foods -- more than 30 million pounds. Pretzels and popcorn get the most play, though chips and guacamole have gained yardage in the last few years. According the California Avocado Commission, over 50 million pounds of avocados will be sold in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, most of which will turned into guacamole and scooped up with 15,000 tons of chips.
Super Bowl foods have to be casual, portable, and, most important, fun. Fans don't want to think about their food; they just want to be able to hold it in their hands and not have it explode all over themselves when they jump up to high-five each other over a touchdown.
For your Super Bowl party, think like a guy. Serve sticky barbecued spare ribs, cheesy pizza, spicy chicken wings, overstuffed sandwiches, and gut-busting gumbo. For dishes requiring utensils, like chili or jumbalaya, I suggest serving them at half-time. This will both ensure the safety of your guests and distract them from the painful Super Bowl half-time show.
Serve beer. Lots of beer.
Don't use fussy dinnerware and cutlery; sturdy paper plates, double-ply paper napkins, and huge plastic cups perfect for refills are what's needed.
Keep desserts simple. Brownies, cookies, and cookie bars are the way to go.
When the party's over, you might consider sending your guests home with a bottle of Tums and a doctor's note. Antacid sales spike 20% on "Super Monday," the day after the Super Bowl, when 6% of working Americans call in sick.
Whether you're football-savvy enough to challenge John Madden on the NFL's rulebook, or you think a Hail Mary is a religious term, chances are you'll be at a Super Bowl party this Sunday chowing down some seriously good football grub. So check back all week for more easy and delicious Super Bowl recipes that are sure to score big.
Spicy Black Bean Dip
Makes 6-8 servings
Print recipe only here.
This spicy black bean dip couldn't be easier to make. With red onions, garlic, jalapeno, and lime, it's got both heat and tang. The sour cream adds just a touch of silkiness to an otherwise satisfying chunky dip. This vegetarian dip can be made vegan by using vegan sour cream or mayo.
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 small garlic clove, sliced
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 small jalapeno chili
The juice of 1 small lime
1 cup salsa of your choice
salt, to taste
1. In a small pan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Saute red onion and garlic until lightly browned. Transfer to a blender or food processor and add remaining ingredients. Pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl. Serve with tortilla chips.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Igor Stravinsky
Rubies sends its dancers racing across the stage like lightning to Stravinsky's jazz-inflected piano capriccio, emphasized by a sharp attack and sassy style.
Igor Stravinsky composed his three-movement Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra, the music for Rubies, in 1928-29. He intended it as a vehicle for his own appearances as a concert pianist and as something of a relief from his Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, which he had written five years before for the same purpose. The Capriccio is, in effect, a second piano concerto. Stravinsky said that as he wrote this score he had in mind Carl Maria von Weber, a composer he championed; in fact, he quotes Weber in the music. Another of Stravinsky's enthusiasms that affects the Capriccio is the cimbalom. Figurations typical of this east European instrument are in evidence at various places in the solo piano part — in certain repeated notes and in the cadenza in the second movement, for example. Balanchine set the second movement as a pas de deux for the principal dancers, and they and a soloist dance with the corps de ballet in various combinations in the outer movements.

I'm thinking of building a 24 1TB disk NAS box, but I'm not sure what the best drive configuration is. I'm looking at using the areca ARC-1280ML-2G controller, and hanging all 24 drives off of it.
I'd like it all to be mounted as one volume, due to the type of data we're storing on it. One crazy idea we had was to configure 6 4-disk RAID 5 volumes, then do software RAID 5 over those 6 volumes. That would mean any one volume could die on us and we'd still not lose data.
I should note that this is an R&D project, we've got an upcoming application where we'll be needing tens of terabytes of storage to be fast and highly available. But for the initial R&D phase we can accept some risk.
What is the best solution to this type of configuration? With 24 1 TB disks, it's likely that more than one will fail at the same time (or within the time it takes to rebuild the volume after a first failure), so I'm having trouble finding a good solution.

|Nearly all digital cameras have the option to save images in JPEG format. The JPEG format supports 8 bits per color (red, green, and blue) and produces relatively small file sizes. The compression when not too severe does not detract noticeably from the image. But JPEG files can suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved. Photographic images may be better stored in a lossless non-JPEG format if they will be re-edited in future, or if the presence of small 'artifacts' is unacceptable. It is however the best format for internet publishing in most cases.
|The PNG file format is regarded, and was made, as the free and open-source successor to the GIF file format. The PNG file format supports true color (16 million colors) whereas the GIF file format only allows 256 colors. PNG excels when the image has large areas of uniform color. The lossless PNG format is best suited for editing pictures and all popular modern browsers fully support PNG.

The proceeds from the clothing sales will be put towards building a new sports complex in Pella. They are also holding a silent auction of famous jerseys. One special item up for auction is a commemorative Olympic Medal given to Knoxville Athletic Director Randy Wilson. Foundation Director Klayton Korver says they hope to raise a lot of funding for the sports park, and honor the spirit and memory of Blake Van Vark, who was killed in a car accident earlier this year. Anyone who bought a shirt from Seer can participate in a flash mob photo at the Tulip Toren Saturday at 4pm.

Many of you have emailed recently about Us Weekly and Janice Min's fascination with the girls of The Hills – cover after cover, week after week… what's the story?
Obviously the premiere was last night, and judging by the buzz online and among my own friends leading up to it – The Hills are alive. Even more telling, The Hills is hot - not just among 15 year olds, but among women and gays, mid to late 20s, even early 30s, with or without children, informed, erudite, professional… in other words – a coveted demographic.
Janice Min knows her demographic. Even Mimi is courting that demographic.
So even though the girls are not real celebrities – not on your life – even though the Speidi Rossum is almost as insufferable as the Original Rossum, even though you watch The Hills but you don't talk about The Hills, the Hills sells at the newsstands. Smut is always about what sells.
Here are the girls at last night's premiere party in New York.
A few quick comments below:
- Echoing the sentiments of… everyone: how do you work for Teen Vogue and not know how to properly pronounce Givenchy???
- Heidi"s lips in Colorado…hell, Heidi's entire FACE in Colorado! At dinner with her parents, her lips were practically BLUE!
- I love that Heidi always looks airbrushed…and Lauren doesn't. Hee.
- Jealous smarmy French dude with his open shirt and chest tufts– they said he plays in a band. Was it Flock of Seagulls? Seriously…what was up with all that hair???
- Must have Whitney's white boots.
- As pathetically franchophile as I am… I cannot get down with straight dudes in leggings. That's all.
Thoughts on The Hills

The last two deer seasons are illustrations in extremes. There was only one other year that I can remember an acorn drought as bad as last year's was. And this year's abundance of acorns is equally as uncommon. The deer are not having to move very much or very far in order to get to ample food. As a result, seeing fields full of bucks and does has been and will be, rare. Last year, sightings were almost a daily occurrence.
While these two years are unique, every year has its own difficulties. This is especially magnified when you travel to hunt. Each time I take an extended hunting trip, I am always at the mercies of whatever circumstances come my way. This year my Maine trip coincided with record-breaking heat temperatures. Last year my Missouri trip was met with floods. During some trips, the wind blows so hard that the deer do not move. Other trips, I'm too early or too late for the rut. Rarely have I ever hit the woods at just the perfect time. I guess that's what keeps me going back.
The truth is the difficulties that are faced when we hunt are not a separate matter. They are just as a part of the hunt as hanging a treestand. To hunt without difficulties would simply be to kill. I would dare say the inability to rightly handle difficulties is what turns honest hunters into poachers. They resort to the easy way out. And the trophy on the wall is a daily reminder of what you get when the price is too high for the prize.
What goes for hunting also goes for daily living. While some days may be unique in their problems; every day has its own obstacles, situations and difficulties. These are not a separate part of the day, but one of its most important ingredients. They are what make our successes more memorable, satisfying, and more valuable for what they bring to our lives. They are life. They are the tools God uses to sharpen us for His use. They prepare us to be injected in the lives of those around us who need to know they too can make it through the most difficult times.
So, this week you can face your difficulties as enemies and fight them every step of the way, or you can expect them, work along side them, and realize when your trophy comes, it will mean a whole lot more knowing what you had to go through to get it.

Permission error
In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.Alfred A. Montapert

"This is like the most boring hurricane ever." – overheard in the Chestnut Hill Starbucks on Sunday morning.
I've started two vacation traditions in the last two years: tent camping and reading Cormac McCarthy.
If you're familiar with McCarthy, you'll probably know why he's an interesting read for someone braving the elements in a tent. To those for whom McCarthy is not familiar, he's a man known for writing about other men (mostly) faced with staying alive in difficult circumstances. For these men, a tent would be a luxury, never mind a camp stove and a working toilet.
Last summer, I read McCarthy's "The Road," a tale of an unnamed man who fights to keep his young son alive in a world destroyed by a man-made apocalypse, all the while struggling to find a reason to survive in a world with no apparent future.
This summer I read most of (but have not yet finished) "Blood Meridian," the story of The Kid, a young man who runs away from his Tennessee home to Texas. He eventually, through a series of accidents, finds himself in the company of a bloodthirsty and lawless band of American marauders – based on the historic Glanton Gang – who are paid by the scalp to kill American Indians for money in Mexico in 1849.
It's a novel the literary critic Harold Bloom counted as one of the finest written in the 20th Century.
(A note of caution: "Blood Meridian" is not for the easily offended or disturbed. Even Bloom said in an interview that he found the violence of the book overwhelming the first time he tried to read it.)
McCarthy's words are interesting to contemplate when you're sitting in the quiet of a campfire under an open night sky. And I found the lessons of McCarthy even more compelling during the events of last weekend's hurricane.
First, every time I take a break from McCarthy, I'm immediately struck by a gratitude for the creature comforts I have. When I'm camping, I'm glad for a tent and a sleeping bag. I'm always glad to live in a time and place far more civilized than those in McCarthy's novels.
Even more than that though, it is something to sit with one of the most basic themes that runs through McCarthy's novels – that nature and life is not only tough, but it is random.
The men who populate McCarthy's novels never survive or die because of any inherent skill or lack thereof. To McCarthy, life and death is random, a flip of the coin to Anton Chigurh, the ruthless, robotic killer of McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men" (Javier Bardem's character to those of you who saw the movie).
No matter what we think we are capable of, or how we envision our future, events will unfold that are beyond our control. Those events can and will shape our lives.
As I sit and finish typing this column, I'm lucky that Hurricane Irene did not do more to shape my life. I escaped with nothing more than a puddle in my basement and a 24-hour power outage that didn't even prevent me from being able to take a hot shower.
The same cannot be said for those who suffered far worse – from property lost to lives taken, all in an instant that came unexpected and unimaginable moments before.
Perhaps its too facile to recognize what you have and be grateful, realizing that in many ways it could be much, much worse. But when we can go about our business and brush off the dust of a destructive storm moments after it passes overhead, I think a little appreciation is not at all out of line – it's just common sense.

And anyone else who fancies themselves in the world of economics?
I would like answers in laymans terms to the following questions
1) Is the answer to economic growth immigration? Don't they just create more competition in the labour market or is their always a shortage of skilled labour? There doesn't seem to be a shortage when I am looking for marketing jobs. What are some of the issues here. Please no answers on the impact of immigration on the social and demographic composition of your country - just want the economic impact.
2) If I start up a company today selling a product that already exists in New Zealand. Will NZ's GDP grow or will I just be taking sales away from my competition or other substitute products (wouldn't the consumers money just be spent on something else if I wasn't around?) Is this question clear? I am asking asking whether a new business creates net growth for a country.
3) Lastly the last company I worked for in Canada wanted to outsource its call centre to the Phillipines or at least some of its calls. Does outsourcing just result in a loss of jobs in the country or because the company can then lower its prices to customers does the cost of living go down and this makes up for it? Personally I am not sure about this as I think most companies who outsource just keep the profits for its investors.

I'm so excited to be a part of Something Wicked Comes, hosted by Rainy Day Ramblings and Babbling About Books. I'm posting my review of Outpost (Razorland #2) by the fabulous Ann Aguirre; and, after the review, I have a giveaway for you guys! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Title: Outpost (Razorland #2)
Author: Ann Aguirre
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Published: September 4, 2012
Amazon | B&N | The Book Depository
My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Deuce's whole world has changed. Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she's a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight.
To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven't changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.
Deuce signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks have grown smarter. They're watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don't intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl like Deuce to turn back the tide.
As a huge fan of Enclave, I confess I had a bit of trepidation about beginning Outpost. Would it measure up to its predecessor, and would it be as thrilling? It did and it was. Within the confines of Salvation, I felt trapped, repressed, and restless right along with Deuce. So many rules and so many people out to break this feisty, headstrong huntress. But then, I fell in love with the Oaks family, with Longshot, and with the safety and security the walls of Salvation provided. If ever there was a heroine who deserved a measure of safety, to be loved unconditionally, and to have a family… it's Deuce.
As safe and cozy as it seems within the walls of Salvation, danger still lurks outside. The walls must be protected around the clock to keep the freaks away. Deuce wants nothing more than to put her training and huntress abilities to good use; so, when the time comes for the growers to leave the safety of Salvation for the fields and plant the seeds for the crops that will keep them all fed… she jumps at the chance.
Fade made me love him even more than I did in Enclave.
I shed so many tears during the reading of this book, but I love that Ann Aguirre can get me that emotional over this story and her amazing characters. I'm so excited for the next book in this series, but I also want to prolong the wait so that their story never ends.
And now for the giveaway! Fill out the Rafflecopter form for your chance to win a $25.00 gift card from your choice of Amazon or Barnes&Noble. Thanks for entering and good luck!

US giant Verizon Wireless should one day use the same mobile phone technology standard as the rest of the world, Vodafone's chief hinted yesterday. It just might take a very long time.
Today Verizon uses the CDMA-EVDO flavour of 3G, in contrast to the W-CDMA flavour (also called UMTS) used in Europe and Asia. However, Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin told an investor conference yesterday that Vodafone and Verizon would converge.
"It might be the year 2015 or so before complete integration occurs but are we headed toward the same platform? Yes, we are," Sarin told the Goldman Sachs technology conference, Reuters reports. Vodafone owns 45 per cent of Verizon, which is the second largest US cellco, neck and neck with AT&T.
The technology of choice is W-CDMA/LTE (for "Long Term Evolution") - a work in progress that isn't expected to appear in real products until 2010-2011. LTE is based on the OFDM radio technology used in Wi-Fi and WiMAX, rather than the CDMA used by 3G.
Verizon chief Ivan Seidenberg blessed the convergence strategy, saying it would "stimulate extensive growth by having a common platform".
No kidding.
It would also allow the US to benefit from global economies of scale, a greater choice of kit, and give the punter the ability to switch provider yet keep the same handset. You can be sure the operators will fight to prevent the latter happening, however.
The decision has a major impact on rival technologies, such as WiMAX, and the vendors with a stake in backing competing standards - such as Motorola, Intel, Alcatel-Lucent. And equally, it's likely to boost W-CDMA backers such as Ericsson and Nokia-Nortel. It will be seen as sidelining Qualcomm, but the San Diego company has a formidable OFDM patent portfolio it acquired with Flarion.
But for some planners at US operator Sprint-Nextel, it may look like Groundhog Day.
Nextel went out on a limb in the 1990s when it became just one of a handful of networks to adopt Motorola's iDEN technology. Now it's plumped for WiMAX, it looks like being the odd-man out once again.
As for US consumers and travellers, the benefits of compatibility and economies of scale won't be apparent until the US uses the same portions of the radio spectrum that the rest of the world uses.
And Google's doing everything it can to ensure that doesn't happen. ®

Since we soon will have scads of leftover turkey, it's a different way out of the leftover mess. It's basically the same recipe as with ground beef.
Our first brush with sloppy joes was in grade school cafeterias, where they beat burgers as a favorite. Their origin is unclear; many say it started as a "loose meat" sandwich at Sloppy Joe's Bar in Florida.
"Meat" means just that, and that includes poultry. Since we soon will have scads of leftover turkey, it's a different way out of the leftover mess. It's basically the same recipe as with ground beef.
Making your own seasoning mix improves the results over canned sauces. Since the turkey already is cooked, it only takes a few minutes to reheat it in the sauce. For some reason, joes demand buttered Kaiser buns browned under the broiler. Anything less is so school cafeteria.
Turkey Sloppy Joes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground, cooked turkey
1 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasoning mix:
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons instant minced garlic
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 teaspoons chili powder
Dash of salt
Sauté onions and peppers in oil for 5 minutes. Mix with 3 tablespoons of seasoning, ground turkey, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Heat thoroughly, about 10 minutes. (Keep leftover seasonings in a capped jar.)
Serve on six toasted and buttered Kaiser buns with mustard and relish on the side, and, of course, chocolate milk.
Non-spicy joe sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish (or use brown sugar)
Combine ingredients.

The title to this article is a snowclone. And while many of you don't know (yet) what a snowclone is, I believe the entertainment value of knowing a little about them almost matches the value of knowing which group of stocks has historically smashed the market's averages. Before I wander off on my tangent, you want to know about the new strong buys.
What's old is new again, because here in mid-2008, the new strong buys are the ones that have also historically bested the broader market by about 5% per year. That's always a good start, but today there's an added bonus -- these "strong buys" are coming off consecutive years of significant underperformance. Small-cap value stocks are priced better today than they have been for years.
I love the smell of small-cap value in the morning (it's the smell of victory)
According to Wikipedia, "A snowclone is a type of cliche and phrasal template originally defined as 'a multi-use, customizable, instantly recognizable, time-worn, quoted or misquoted phrase or sentence that can be used in an entirely open array of different jokey variants by lazy journalists and writers.'"
(Did somebody just call my name?)
The term "snowclones" originates from one of the lesser-known time-worn cliched templates, "If the Eskimos have N words for snow, the X surely have M words for Y." For instance: "If the Eskimos have 300 words for snow, Wall Street financiers must have 600 words for subprime mortgage derivatives."
It turns out that the Eskimos don't have a particularly large number of words for snow. (Wall Street does have several dozen terms for subprime mortgage products, though because of the number of layoffs of Wall Street's finest, most of these are unprintable in a decent public forum. But I digress.)
You might have used such other snowclones, such as "Got X [milk]?" Or perhaps: "(Dammit, Jim,) I'm a doctor, not an [X]." Or even: "I'm not an [X], but I play one on TV." So in a move that will surprise nobody more than my editors (hey guys, I finally came up with my own subheads!), I've lazily inserted some classic snowclones below as phrasal templates to illuminate a few reasons behind small-cap value stocks' market dominance, and current strong positioning.
Give me your poor, your tired, your small-cap value stocks
In one of my favorite articles, "70 Times Better than the Next Microsoft," I recounted why small-cap value stocks crush the other quadrants of the market, large value, large growth, and especially small growth, over time. It's mostly because small value stocks are unexciting, spat upon, and ignored. They're the type of companies that seem painfully outdated, quaint, poor -- tired, even -- compared to the exciting tech stocks, biotechs, and other sectors that end up getting bid up to the moon -- and consequently disappoint the majority of investors. And yet, the returns are stunning. Here's one of my favorite tables proving the point:
Annual Returns, 1927-2005
Large-Cap Growth
Large-Cap Value
Small-Cap Growth
Small-Cap Value
Total Stock Market
The most dramatic example this year is the way coal stocks like James River Coal
Small-cap value is the new black -- and the new strong buys
When something is anointed the "new black," it is so hot and trendy that it will replace the old guard. The new black will be the color everyone will wear. Well, at least until the next "new black." Nothing ever really does replace black, but this construction is an attempt to promote something of the moment.
The highest compliment you can give to a stock in some corners is to say it is a "strong buy." But you know what? Small-cap value stocks are virtually never given Wall Street's official imprimatur as strong buys. The lack of such ratings keeps small value stocks at far better prices than the highly followed and touted large caps that do get dozens of strong buy ratings from the Street. Never being "the new black" or "strong buys" has provided small-cap value stocks' actual investors with great entry points for their money.
Though small-cap value stocks are dramatically underfollowed on Wall Street, numerous studies and reports argue that they have the best returns. Combine that fact with the particularly attractive prices at which these stocks are trading today, and you're looking at something far better than "the new black" or a "strong buy." You're looking at the antithesis of trendy: boring companies with boring returns over the past two years. These are precisely the companies that tend to dramatically beat the market over the long term -- especially after dry periods like the one we've just witnessed.
There's no crying in small-cap value!
Small-cap value doesn't beat the market average every year -- its performance in the past two and a half years or so has alternated between "desultory" and "painful." Some of that underperformance results from the performance of financial companies, which comprise a large chunk of the value indices. However badly large caps such as Citigroup
But you won't see us crying about that at Hidden Gems. The prices and opportunities that are available in small-cap value, particularly outside of financials, haven't been seen for at least four years, and probably closer to six.
For more on snowclones, check out the page on Wikipedia. For more on small-cap value, including what we're recommending right now at Hidden Gems (where we're beating the market averages by 24 percentage points over the past five years), take a free 30-day trial.

NewSushiConcept necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
My Maki
My Maki is a new fast casual sushi concept which will be based in New York City. The restaurant will offer customizable sushi rolls and traditional Japanese sides in a format similar to other national chains such as Chipotle. All sushi will be made-to-order and ingredients will be selected by the customer. The name 'My Maki' was chosen because 'Maki' is the name for this type of sushi in Japan, and 'My Maki' because it is customized by you, the customer. My Maki will also feature a slogan 'Sushi How You Like it', which should be included under the name as part of the logo.
The atmosphere at My Maki will be modern, but not over the top. We want it to be a fun place where a customer can stop in, quickly order their lunch, and then either take it back to the office with them or stay for 15 minutes in the restaurant and eat it. While they are in the store, we want their experience to be enjoyable: the restaurant will feature fun decor with orange and white colors and modern shapes on the walls, the music will be lively and energetic (think brazilian samba), and employees will be doing all they can to ensure the customer is able to leave with a fresh, delicous meal in their stomach and a smile on their face.
18-45, upper-middle class professionals working in midtown Manhattan. Although My Maki will be open for lunch and dinner, approximately 80% of sales are expected to come from the lunch crowd. Most customers will be bankers, traders, lawyers, advertising, and fashion professionals working in the area. The audience will place high value upon cleanliness of the establishment and the existence of a lively/fun but not 'over the top' atmosphere.
Logo must use the name My Maki
Directly under the logo must be the slogan 'Sushi How You Like It'
Must be very easy to read My Maki and the slogan
Orange, white, and green are preferred colors, with orange and white being the most important.
Slogan should be clearly differentiated from name (possibly through use of different font, color, etc.)
Modern but clean and simple look
No Japanese imagery
Incorporation of simple geometric shapes into logo possible idea (oval, triangle, square, etc… maybe with rounded edges)

PZ Myers has not received any gifts yet
I'm trying to defend Atheism + here but I could use some help. :)
Can't say that I'm a constant reader of your blog. But the knowledge that I live just down the road in Madison, Mn. and am in the vicinity of a real, live, renowned atheist (who is not afraid to be vocal) is just so invigorating!!!!I have been stifling myself in this community for the last 35 years. Thank god (I know, bad colloquialism) for the internet connection. It gives me courage.. Vicki V.
Hello PZ,
A few of my friends on facebook have been promoting this article claiming that fluoride consumption causes brain damage. Many people seem to be up in arms over this, blaming fluoridation of water on everything from autism to ADD. I thought you might be interested in commenting on this little controversy. :)
Best regards
Hello there. Been a reader of your blog for a while now, keep up the good work!
Dr. Myers:
Knowing that you are a fan of all things "cephalopod", you might be interested in the cartoon "squidbillies", on the "Adult Swim" program on the Cartoon Channel. It is by turns gross, silly, surreal, profane, etc. But it is also sharply satirical and at times, laugh out loud funny. For what its worth, I heartedly recommend it!!
