Review tour: The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard + Giveaway
Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember.
What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn't trust her father, so why would she believe his stories about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan? But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother's sanity.
The plot of this book was great only the beginning was rather slow in comparison to the ending. The magical elements of this story were subtly woven into the plot. That way you experienced it just like Allison did. Allison was an easy person to like. She takes care of the people she loves, including her mom, her cousin Nicole and her friend Ethan, and she'll never let them down. That also means that she tries to never disappoint any of them and to make them happy if she can. Once the supernatural elements entered the story the romance part was sometimes hard to find. And that's a shame 'cause I liked the chemistry between Allison and Ethan. But I think that we get to see more of it in the next book. At times it was hard for me to understand the story, it was like Allison knew more about the fey world than the readers did. So at times I felt a little lost, but the plot was still easy to follow. And I was said that the story ended so fast, I wouldn't have minded if it was a few chapters longer, definitely after reading the ending! I'm very curious to see what will happen to Allison in the fey world and in the human world.
(Note if you decide to read the book, at the end there's a list to how to pronounce certain names, it might come in handy ;) )
Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn't until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known. The Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.

When twenty-one-year-old Leah Carter's latest one night stand burglarizes her apartment, her roommate forces her to attend therapy for sex addicts. Leah insists she isn't a sex addict; she just doesn't do relationships. After all, sooner or later, everyone lets you down.
At first, the group sessions are little more than an education on how to be promiscuous. Until she meets the newest addict—blue eyes, killer body, and a smile that tempts relapse.
Psychology student Will McLean is posing as a fellow addict while researching a case study on unusual addictions. But the more he learns about Leah, the more certain he is that his desire to break through her walls and unearth her secrets has nothing to do with his assignment.
As the uncertainties spike alongside the sexual tension, the only thing Leah knows for sure is that falling in love would be disastrous. Too bad love might be one addiction she can't kick.
This book is perfect to read in summertime. It's hot and sweet at the same time.
I really liked Leah. She was so much deeper than I initially thought. Her upbringing wasn't that easy even if her parents pretended that everything was okay. That's what made Leah so reserved and grumpy. But like Will always says she's a grumpy beauty even if she doesn't know it. And Will is the only one, except from her housemate Helena and her little brother, that can get her to lough and to lighten up a bit. I just loved Will, he's a good guy and how hard Leah makes it for him he never gives up on her. And he always tried to do the good thing even if it wasn't always easy. I wished that we got to know more about Will's background, but I'm already glad that some chapters were written in his point of view. Finn, Will's friend, made sure of it that there were also hilarious scenes in this book and I hope to see more of him in the future 'cause he's a great guy.
The only thing that could have been better in this book was the ending. The whole book was slow paced, but not so slow that it got boring, and then suddenly it went so fast in the end. Nonetheless a great book that I really enjoyed reading.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Broke and Bookish. This weeks is: Top Ten Favorite Secondary Characters
1) Isaac (The Fault in Our Stars): I really liked this guy from the moment I met him. And I keep wondering how he's doing after everything he's gone through with Augustus and Hazel.
2) Gayle (The Hunger Games): What happened to him after the story ended. Did he find someone he loves? Did he ever see Katniss again?
3) Sydney (Vampire Academy): When I first read VA, she left a huge impression on me. Never been happier that she got her own series.
4) Julio (Leaving Paradise): I got the feeling that there's more to him than that we got to know in the book. I wish I would know more about him.
5) Felicity (A Great and Terrible Beauty): What happened to her after Gemma left for America and Ann got to sing in a company? She was such a great personality and I really miss her.
6) Natalie Prior (Divergent): Tris mom was different than I ever expected. I would like to read her story.
7) Marlee (The Selection): This girl is simply amazing. I hope that we got to see more of her in the final book.
8) Emmet (Twilight): I really liked him and I wished that he had a huger part in the books.
9) Luna (Harry Potter): She has a special view on everything and it would be amazing to see through her eyes the world of Harry Potter.
10) Ambrose (Vampire Academy): a male damphire that became a "bloodwhore" what can be more interesting? And I really liked him.
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she's ever known, far behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.
But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she'd do. He shows her what it's really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew's dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?
Last year I came across this book and added it immediately to my TBR list, but as so many books I forgot about it. That was until recently when I got the chance to read it through NetGalley. And I'm glad that I've finally read it.
The Edge of Never was a very emotional read, it made me laugh and it made me cry, but I loved every single page of this book. When we first meet Camryn her life is quiet a mess, nothing is wrong but that's just it her life is the same as anyone else's. And mainstream is not what Cam expected her life to be. That's until one night turns her life upside down and she decides to leave everything behind. I liked Cam from the moment I met her, sure she's lost but she's determined to liver her life to the fullest. And that's when she meets Andrew. Andrew was even easier to like than Cam, from the first moment he appears in The Edge of Never he puts a smile to my lips. Unlike Cam, Andrew is a happy guy but he has some demons himself that he tries to run away from. But like Cam he wants to get everything out of his life. Soon enough they become friends along their journey and they get each other like no one else did before. And you can definitely feel the chemistry that crackles between them in the book.
The book started of slow, but it picked up pace when Camryn starts her journey. I was a little surprised when suddenly there were chapters in Andrew's point of view. But I didn't mind it in the least, I loved seeing it through his eyes. His view on things is completely different than Cam's. Even when he doesn't know her he wants to protect her. The Edge of Never never got boring, the author made sure of it that there were enough twist and turns that kept the story going. Only near the end the story went to fast. Suddenly everything went so fast, even a little too fast. Still I immensely loved this story and I can't wait to read the next book The Edge of Always.

When we step outside of the ice cream parlor, Lane reaches over and wraps his hand around mine, making me feel warm all over, despite the cool breeze coming off the ocean.
We walk down the boardwalk hand in hand, our arms swinging between us, and I can't stop my blush each time I catch Lane staring at me, and then giggle each time he catches me sneaking a glance at him too. Both of us with silly grins on our faces.
As we turn the corner, at the edge of the boardwalk, right in front of us is a perfectly preserved turn of the century carousel.
I gasp at its beauty. How have I never been here before? Although, a community carousel is the last place that my parents would ever think to bring us. A ride on a schooner is more their speed.
The carousel is covered in small bulbous lights that cast a warm glow over the richly colored horses, each with a different face and intricate carvings on their saddles. The sounds of children and parents laughing intertwine with the carnival style music coming from the ride, and I can't stop myself from hopping up and down on the tips of my toes like a child.
Lane chuckles, gripping my hand tightly, as we watch the ornate horses spin around and around and up and down until he points at a big brass ring when it spins by. "If you can grab the ring the ride's free. Come on." He gives me a smile and like a couple of kids we run along the side of the carousel until we both grab hold of the ring and hoist ourselves up and onto the ride, laughing and out of breath.
I move to a stationary white horse wearing a deep red saddle and without saying a word Lane lifts me up, in one swift motion, and sets me down so I'm face to face with him riding sidesaddle. He grips the horse's gold post with one hand, and I can't help but admire his sinewy arms, lean and strong.
"You are so beautiful," he says, looking into my eyes as he brushes his thumb against my cheek with his other hand. His sincerity takes my breath away.
I wrap my arms around his neck drawing him closer until he's standing between my legs. His soft smile fades into a smolder as he leans forward, causing my breath to hitch with the anticipation of his lips on mine.
I close my eyes as he closes the short distance between us achingly slow. My heart skips a beat when I finally feel the warmth of his lips press against mine. He tastes like ice cream and smells like summertime, and I suddenly wonder if the swirling I feel is from the ride or from his kiss.
He pulls away slightly before wrapping his hand around the base of my neck and pulling me into his lips again, making me certain of one thing.
I'm swirling, and it's definitely from his kisses.

What happens when a germophobe, elusive computer hacking genius has to stop to fuel up her car and it's stolen right from under her nose by a handsome vagrant? Revenge of course.
Only he's no vagrant...
He's a computer hacking genius, too, and her competition. Curses along with inhibitions—fly out the window and through the phone when he calls repeatedly to harasses her. Who will win the upper-hand, if there is such a thing, between these two stubborn, obnoxious people?
Chanse grew up in the desert southwest and still lives there with her husband, children, and pet cactus. She's addicted to three things: reading erotica, writing erotica and sandwiches with a side of erotica to aid with digestion. She grew up watching programs with science fiction and historical fiction themes, and is determined she can combine her three favorite genres, creating a new breed of novel with scifi, historical and smut sandwiched in the middle.
The last thing she ever thought she'd do was pursue her dream to be a writer since her family tends to keep her busy. When she was introduced to fan fiction, she realized she wanted to see more science fiction and historical fiction to fill in the gap with lots of naughtiness thrown in, of course. Her true passion is creating her own worlds from scratch, letting her imagination go and take her to another place.
She has two novels coming out soon, Sleeves a science fiction erotica and Knots, a contemporary BDSM that shows the softer, tender side of a Dom/sub relationship. Having recently entered the lifestyle and discovering she's a submissive herself has opened her eyes to how few stories there are exploring the softer side of the lifestyle. She enjoys chatting online with others with similar kinky interests and has advisers in the lifestyle that help make sure her stories remain true and don't veer off into outer space. Although aliens probably enjoy kink, too, since they like to dress in rubber fetish-wear while traveling. At least that's her argument for why her new genre she's created is valid.

Bailey wasn't always a wild child and the black sheep of her family. She used to play fiddle and tour the music circuit with her sister, Julie, who sang and played guitar. That ended when country music execs swooped in and signed Julie to a solo deal. Never mind that Julie and Bailey were a duet, or that Bailey was their songwriter. The music scouts wanted only Julie, and their parents were content to sit by and let her fulfill her dreams while Bailey's were hushed away.
Bailey has tried to numb the pain and disappointment over what could have been. And as Julie's debut album is set to hit the charts, her parents get fed up with Bailey's antics and ship her off to granddad's house in Nashville. Playing fiddle in washed-up tribute groups at the mall, Bailey meets Sam, a handsome and oh-so-persuasive guitarist with his own band. He knows Bailey's fiddle playing is just the thing his band needs to break into the industry. But this life has broken Bailey's heart once before. She isn't sure she's ready to let Sam take her there again…
The synopsis of the book picked up my interest because it's about music and because it's written by Jennifer Echols.
I really like the plot of the book. Bailey a fiddle player lost her music future because her younger sister got contracted as a solo artist. After that Bailey loses herself completely a sweet girl turns into a rebellious girl that does everything to defy her parents. That's until she meets Sam, he has had his fair share of problems. But Sam is even more trouble than Bailey is. He wants to make it in the music circuit and he does everything to achieve that goal, even if that means breaking girls their heart and using his friends. And that's why I wanted to kick him, something good is standing in front of him but he doesn't even notice because the only thing he sees is the record deal that is shining in the distance. But at the same time I loved him, yes he's a total douche, but in the end he cares about his friends. And he's always been honest about his passion for music and what he's willing to do for it.
And then there are Baileys parents, all I can say is that I'm happy that they are not mine. I can understand that they pursue a music career for Baileys younger sister when she has a chance. But what I don't understand is that they can't understand is that they don't understand that Bailey is unhappy and that they just put her away with her granddad like she doesn't exists anymore.
The only thing that I found lacking in this book was the chemistry between Bailey and Sam. Yes I could see that they were attracted to each other, but that's it. Maybe it's because the timespan of the book is only one week, but I couldn't really feel the chemistry between the both of them. Other than that I really enjoyed Dirty Little Secret and I'm definitely going to read more books from Jennifer Echols.

Review Tour: The Emblazoned Red by Dawn McCullough White
Once, in another world—a dark world, the world of Faetta—there lived paladins and pirates, tyrants and scallywags, vampires and the undead. In this world a revolution is brewing. The royalty of Sieunes are in chains, and those priests and paladins who follow the holy word of the gods are under attack. In the west, the kingdom of Kellerhald receives the fleeing priests in their temples of the paladins of Silvius, god of the Sky.
Here, a young woman has just passed her tests to become a paladin. A pirate crew raids along the Azez Sea. An undead creature, wielding great power, roams the graveyard of Yetta. And a lost soul, crying out from beyond the veil, seeks out a pure hearted warrior to hear its plea.
Amid the turmoil of the revolution, Ilka's mettle is tested. Rescued by pirates, she ends up with an unlikely ally: the pirate captain himself. The newly trained paladin finds herself collaborating with the undead, working with a vampire, and worst of all, longing for revenge against the man who has ignited the revolution in Sieunes: Francois Mond.
Death of an Innocent. Rise of a Paladin.
The Emblazoned Red was different than I expected it to be. I expected more action in it, but it was still good. At first it was a bit difficult for me to get into it, because the point of views constantly changed. But after I got used to it, I really enjoyed reading it. The writing and the plot itself were very good, but it wasn't very deep, which I mist.
Most of the story we saw true Ilka's eyes, a paladin. Which was good since I really liked her, she's a strong girl who knows what she wants and she has a really strong determination. We also got to know her past, which we don't know of other characters. The next most interesting person was definitely Nate. He might be a pirate, but well he doesn't act like one. Definitely not when he's around Ilka. I don't know about the other characters that appeared like the vampire Augustine, Sylian, Cameo and the king. Maybe we will get to know them better in the next books or maybe they were important in the original books, as this is a spin-off series. Reading the original series, Trilogy of the Shadows, beforehand is probably a good idea since you might get to know the world that Ilka and the other live in better.
This book is probably not a book that I'm going to reread again soon, but in the end I really enjoyed it.

Love. Romance. Sex. There's a first time for everything...
As far as Bliss Edwards can tell, she's the last virgin standing, certainly amongst her friends. And she's determined to deal with the 'problem' as quickly and simply as possible.
But her plan for a no-strings one night stand turns out to be anything but simple. Especially when she arrives for her first class and recognises her hot new British professor.
She'd left him naked in her bed just 8 hours earlier...
Losing it was a great book. I enjoyed reading it, the characters were nice and the book well written. Most New Adult books I've read so far are full off drama, but not this one. This one was filled with funny things.
Bliss was a good humored girl who was very down to earth. And she was also a bit awkward, especially at the beginning of the book. But that was what made the book so much fun to read. Especially her thoughts were hilarious to follow, I wouldn't mind to read more books in her perspective.
Garrick was a guy you immediately liked, and his British accent definitely didn't help. When he first meets Bliss he's lonely because he just moved to this place. But well if you meet Bliss than it's impossible to stay away from her. And it's remarkable how much patience Garrick had with her, she runs out on him, but that doesn't bother him where most guys wouldn't go near her again.
I loved seeing Garrick and Bliss together from the very first moment that they were together in one room you knew that they were perfect for each other. Sometimes it was as if you could feel the tension from the book in your own room. And the chemistry between them was undeniable.
Definitely a book worth reading and I can't wait to read other books by Cora Carmack!

With an Eye On First Ever Women's IPL, BCCI Asks Selectors to Create Player Pool
By: Cricketnext Staff
Edited By: Saikat Ghosh

Last Updated: December 02, 2022, 10:54 IST
BCCI will hols its first ever women's IPL in 2023.
The pool will consist of both Indian and foreign players; the BCCI has given the go-ahead to prepare the tender for the franchise auction and media rights and both are expected to come out soon.
The BCCI is all set to organize the first-ever Women's IPL prior to the men's IPL which takes place in late March and early April this year. Furthermore, this is also the first of its kind tournament ever and the Board has asked the selectors to create a pool of women's players for the tournament.
According to a report in Cricbuzz, the pool will consist of both Indian and foreign players. The BCCI has given the go-ahead to prepare the tender for the franchise auction and media rights and both are expected to come out soon. The franchise auction will follow the media rights tender, the reports states further.

Here, it must be noted that Women's IPL (WIPL) is first such tournament of its kind. The Women's Big Bash League(WBBL)-the only notable women's cricket franchise tournament, doesn't operate on auction model.
Since the WIPL franchisees will pick their teams through the available talent, a sufficient players pool to choose from is a necessity. Earlier BCCI used to hold the Women's T20 challenge, a three-team affair that had four games each. The tournament was played between IPL league stage and before the commencement of IPL Playoffs.
Earlier News 18 Cricketnext had reported how the BCCI, looking to auction five franchises for the upcoming women's T20 league starting March 2023 by way of a closed tender, has kept the base price at Rs 400 crore (USD 50m approx.).

The cricket board has arrived at this decision by taking into account the value of the costliest franchise that was sold back in 2007-08 – Mumbai Indians at USD 111.9m (approx. Rs 446 cr) at Rs 40 / dollar.
The Board expects franchise to be sold between Rs 1000 and Rs 1500 crore, or even more, depending on the kind of interest the auction generates once the tender document is out. However, nobody is ready yet to speak about these expectations on record.
"The winning franchise will pay the ownership fees to the BCCI over a period of five years in equal instalments and continue to own the property for perpetuity, like in the men's IPL," add those in the know.

The BCCI has asked the existing men's IPL team owners to participate in the bidding but the tender process is open to any and all investors who meet the cricket board's minimum eligibility criteria. There is no guarantee whatsoever that should the bid of an existing IPL franchise owner and a new investor match, any preference shall be given to the existing franchise owner.

Darkness looms over the Internet in Europe as members of the European Parliament voted in favour of the proposed directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market. The new rules, which are aimed at providing more protection for rights-holders, have the potential to change internet culture as we know it, and will certainly impact tech companies both large and small.
As discussed in a previous blog post, the two most controversial aspects of the proposed directive are Article 11 and Article 13. Article 11 requires news aggregators to pay publishers for the articles and blog posts that are linked on their platforms, and Article 13 requires "online content sharing providers" to prevent the dissemination of unauthorized protected works.
The European Council previously clarified that Article 11 will only apply to commercial service providers. Individual users who share articles and blog posts on Twitter will not be charged a "link tax" as was previously thought by critics. Yet, the new rule may still prove disappointing for users who rely on aggregators like Google News, social media sites and Rotten Tomatoes for content, as subscription prices for these platforms may be introduced or increased as a result of the new rule. The effort is likely to be incredibly counterproductive as "link sites" will no longer aggregate traffic for the benefit of the sites they list.
There was a proposal to remove Article 13 – labelled the "meme ban" – immediately prior to the vote. The "meme ban" had already been amended in response to criticism so that protected material could explicitly be used "for purposes of quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody and pastiche." It is unclear, however, how tech companies are expected to interpret proper and improper usage of protected material. The proposal to remove Article 13 failed and critics are left wondering how exactly it will work.
Once formally endorsed by European Council, member states will have 24 months to implement the new rules. European Council has already stated it will approve the measure.
Will the outcome be the opposite of what seems to be intended – less revenue for content providers? We anticipate that sites will just shut down and avoid Europe, rather than complying, given the already thin margins on providing content. Or, perhaps, users will actually want to pay for the Internet? We remain doubtful, but anything can happen.


She was the owner of a successful Akron-based advertising agency and bridal shop, but her true dream was to live in the country and own a horse. Annette Bragg fulfilled that dream by purchasing a nine-acre farm in Ravenna and buying a horse. In fact, in the past 17 years, she has cared for more than 5,000 farm animals, including 500 horses.
After moving to the country, Bragg says she met a woman at a tack swap, and they began comparing notes about how hard it is to find someone to care for horses when the owner goes away. Bragg offered to care for the woman's animals while she went on vacation. That was when she stumbled upon Janice, a pot-bellied pig in poor living conditions that appeared to have broken legs.
But the experience had Bragg pondering what happens when humane societies find farm animals in need of rescue. Most organizations are not set up to care for them, so Bragg says they would turn a blind eye to the abuse or euthanize the animals. The idea for Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary was born in 1999, and the organization earned its 501(c)(3) status in 2000.
At first, Happy Trails was taking in abandoned animals while the owners walked away with no consequence. Then, Bragg says, Happy Trails informed law enforcement that they would only take in animals if criminal charges were filed against their owners.
Happy Trails cares for confiscated farm animals, everything from chickens, pigs, cows, and emu to horses, goats, buffalo, and alpaca during the court case against the owner, then works with rescue organizations across the country to place the animals with adoptive families as family pets.
Despite witnessing some of the worst of society and the results of their actions on a daily basis, Bragg says her work has been fulfilling and impactful. Fifteen states have requested assistance from Happy Trails over the years and close to 95 percent of the animals that have come through Happy Trails have been adopted out to loving owners.

Once a client asks me to design/illustrate their cover, we'll discuss their desires for the overall appearance of their cover, what they want to portray if they have any particular scene/important prop that should be featured on the cover, not all authors have a solid idea of what they want – and that's fine – so usually we'll discuss their likes/dislikes and any elements they would like to include.
Emma knew she wanted key elements included on the cover, demonic wings, chains, bottles of poison, magic, a magical Book and of course a Key, as the book is a part of the "The Tales of the Key" series.
After trying a few cover designs featuring a demon with the title along their back, this idea was scrapped as it was a bit of a spoiler.
I then approached the cover design with the intention of putting in as many elements as possible, Emma liked the idea on the far left the best, the focus on the Large Demon Wings with the other elements "framing" it.
So I started chipping away at the cover design and it was decided that a rendered approach, as apposed to flat black wings, would look better. I tried a variety of layouts, and Emma liked the version with the sword best, after further rendering that version the wolves were removed and instead a single wolf was placed on the back cover, the birds were also removed as the cover ended up looking a bit too "messy".
But the end result was one that I was very happy with, and Emma Ellinson the Author was thrilled with, so cover design complete and mission accomplished!

Interview: David Kasik, Boeing on Data Analysis vs Data Analytics
Tags: 3D, Boeing, Career, Data Analysis, Data Analytics, David Kasik, Trends, Visualization
We discuss the impact of increasing amount of data on visualization, difference between Data Analysis and Data Analytics, motivation, trends, desired skills and more.
By Anmol Rajpurohit
David Kasik is Boeing's Senior Technical Fellow in visualization and interactive techniques. He is pursuing new ways of using visualization for huge amounts of both geometric and non-geometric data.His work with geometric data made Dave a pioneer in interactive 3D computer graphics. He devoted his first 11 years at Boeing to research and development of computer-aided design software. These projects led to pioneering work in interactive 3D graphics, user interface management systems, and industrial use of non-uniform rational (NURBS) solids and surfaces. Dave is pioneering the use of visual analytics to help extract more information from complex non-geometric data.
He earned his Masters in Computer Science from the University of Colorado in 1972 and a Bachelor's in Quantitative Studies from the Johns Hopkins University in 1970. He participates in numerous professional organizations, including ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), which named Dave a Distinguished Scientist in 2007 and a Fellow in 2013; ACM SIGGRAPH, where he started the annual Pioneers student mentoring program and received the Outstanding Service Award in 2012.
First part of interview
Here is second and last part of my interview with him:
Anmol Rajpurohit: Q6.	How has the exponential increase in data growth impacted Analytics and Visualization?
David Kasik: In the world of Big Data, what's interesting to me isn't the exponential growth. In reality, such growth has been around since computing started. Computer usage and data storage just seem to exceed the limits of current capacity since I've been involved with computing.
Instead, the notion of Big Data has caused many Boeing staff members to realize that the data itself contains inherent value. And those staff members rely on analytics tools and visualization, whether encapsulated as visual analytics to help explore the data or as information and scientific visualization to convey concepts. The limiting factors for the tools themselves in a Boeing context are scalability and performance. The data often presents a problem, too, because it contains errors, is incomplete, written in anguished English, and contains values only understood by experts.
AR: Q7.	What is the difference between Data Analysis and Data Analytics?
DK: In my terminology, data analysis refers to hands-on data exploration and evaluation.
Data analytics is a broader term and includes data analysis as necessary subcomponent. Analytics defines the science behind the analysis. The science means understanding the cognitive processes an analyst uses to understand problems and explore data in meaningful ways. Analytics also include data extract, transform, and load; specific tools, techniques, and methods; and how to successfully communicate results.
AR: Q8.	What motivated you to work on data visualization and interaction?
DK: Prof. Bill Huggins first exposed me to computer animation as an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins. He encapsulated the basic concept behind a film as iconic communication, which caught my interest.
Programming computers to generate images as movies taught me how difficult it is to design and build user interfaces. As I moved from microfilm recorders to highly interactive devices, I learned it was essential to pay attention to both the images and the way people interacted with them.
Boeing taught me the essence of performance and scale, which remain challenges.
AR: Q9.	Which of the current trends in data visualization are of great interest to you? What key advancements do you expect in next 2-3 years?
DK: At this point, I'm most taken with the promise to move augmented reality into meaningful production. As I mentioned, moving to a mobile platform that can auto-register an image with 3D data on a lightweight weight mobile device is still being developed. I do expect to see such progress in the next 2-5 years.
We'll continue struggling with scale and effective interaction techniques. Doing simple things like typing and selection of fine-grained graphical objects is still challenging on highly mobile devices. Boeing's factories are noisy enough that voice input still needs work to separate legitimate commands from their surroundings.
AR: Q10.	What is the best advice you have got in your career?
DK: It's easier to seek forgiveness than permission. This led me to seek implementing advanced new technology without an explicit mandate.
AR: Q11.	What key qualities do you look for when interviewing for Visualization or Analytics related positions on your team?
DK: I look for a couple of things beyond a basic programming ability. First, I look for an ability to communicate effectively, especially in soliciting problem statements and understanding how to summarize analysis results effectively. Second, I try to assess a person who is able to move from analysis job to analysis job quickly. Most engagements are measured in days or weeks, not months or years. Analysis staff has to adapt to in a fast-pace environment with highly variable assignments.
AR: Q12.	Which book (or article) did you read recently and liked? What keeps you busy when you are away from work?
DK: I'm just finishing The Boys in the Boat and getting ready to tackle Alan Turing: The Enigma. This Is Your Brain on Music is another good read. Any Colum McCann novel is great fun.
Outside work, which is quite consuming, I'm a workout-a-holic and play handball. My wife and I love going to concerts, baseball games, and traveling.

During the last days, I was pursued by metaphors at the office: repetitions! Fortunately, I managed to catch some of them with my camera: Office Twins and the Double Triple-Reflection of three vans, each reflecting our office building. It's a persecution!


So after I've now done most of the mythic 0 (Only Siege and King's Rest left), I've a few comments about Guardian Druid. While I'm pretty sure we got a tad bit of a threat issue, I cannot fully know if it's due to stats being low or just general damage being underwhelming. Anyways, a few things I would like to see.
1: Remove corruption to be castable in bear form (I know, right? Guardian Druids have that spell! :o) cuz there been plenty of times now in these mythic runs I've done when I've seen a lot of poison/curses that I could dispel but shouldn't cuz it will be stupid to do so since I lose pretty much all rage and all my armor (Including ironfur) when I leave bear form.
Why am I not allowed to use a dispel risk-free while I'm tanking while both Brewmaster Monk and Protection Paladin can? It's silly and isn't engaging gameplay. Make it cost some rage or whatever. Just make it usable in bear form, please. Thank you, kindly.
Feral: Maul/mangle also applies a shorter version of rip/rake.
Balance: Thrash calls down sunfire on the targets and apply a much shorter dot of it. Each target hit by swipe calls down moonfires it doesn't give a dot on the target.
Resto: Maul heals you for X% of the damage it does. Ironfur gives you thorns that do X amount of damage to attackers.
This would provide a class fantasy as well. That you've such affinity for the other spec, that you don't even need to change out of your specialization to do a few of the things since you've learned to use your affinity within your own expertise.
Guardian = Starfall give all your allies X-Y% damage reduction that are inside of it (similar to paladins devotion aura works) and Starsurge provides yourself with an absorb shield based on its damage, up to X% of your HP.
And Resto gives starfall efflorescence-like effect and starsurge would heal the X most injuries allies for X% of your damage.
Feral is such a mess atm in every aspect so I won't even think up ideas for it.
Balance's moon/sunfire have a chance to give back mana per tick.
Feral affinity, I'm not sure about, something like efflorescence's ticks causes bleeds on enemies that stands within it and solar wrath causes bleeds as well.
Guardian affinity can be "lifebloom overheals = absorb shield" and "wild growth gives X amount of damage reduction. "
The exact math for everything is something I'm not qualified to speak of. But these are just examples of what I mean with empowering your actual rotations with elements of the other specs in ways that provides several new options to them.
Guardian would provide damage reductions or absorbs to different spenders/small cooldown to core abilites.
Resto would provide healing options in various ways.
Balance would mainly provide more AoE damage.
Feral would provide ST damage.
3: Since this is actually about Guardian Druid, I want to see moonfire to have some fun/interesting interactions with your rotation outside of galactic guardian.
Or split it into two parts. The first part (hit = moonfire hit on the target) is baseline but at a higher % proc, so it will reliably replace itself and the talent is the second part but X% chance on a 'Galactic Guardian proc' your next moonfire will do 300% and give you 8 rage. This option allows you to completely ignore casting moonfires if you don't want to use Galactic guardian (And since the the dot itself won't proc Gore as it's only affected by casted spells, it won't actually affect it) and it would also immensely help with AoE damage without substantially change the current version of Guardian Druid.
4: Final part. Give all druids Urosl's Vortex baseline.
I'm not as far progressed as yourself but after tanking some heroics today I definitely agree on the threat generation point at the start of your post. Was wondering if it was only me experiencing that.
Guardian tops single target dps of all the tank specs - but has the lowest AoE. Just like Feral.
The whole idea of "We'll design some specs to do really good at AoE - and some specs to do a bit better at single target" is flawed and should die in a fire - but apparently, the designers are in love with it. It could work if the differences with AoE weren't so huge, but they are.
The idea of changing the Affinities? Only if the devs then give us all our healing/tanking/casting abilities back. If you play a Druid and you dislike doing stuff outside your spec, then YOU are playing the wrong class. The Druid class is the most hybrid and versatile class in the game. Druids have been like hybrid since Vanilla - that is literally our hallmark.
Embrace it - or play something else.
So basically you dont use your control or the big casts from the boss to shapeshift and get debuffs/swifwend/lunarstrike so you want the game to do it for you without taking any risks? I think you simply cannot adapt to the game you should play something else.
You need 4 globals or at the very least 3 globals if you dont want to run away in cat form before u start hitting mobs again. And that's only if mobs are not immune to slows and knockbacks.
You also lose the damage reduction and stamina buff because you have to stay in caster form for at least one global which is very dangerous when there are ranged mobs/casters or you have dots ticking on you.
As I said before in many other Guardian threads, other tanks like the Paladin or the Monk can heal and dispel themselves without losing their tankiness and fearing that they will get one-shotted.
With that said, that's actually half of the fun of playing a Guardian, trying to utilize your mechanically limiting toolkit according to the needs of the party and the limitations imposed by the dungeon mechanics.
Among other things, one of my proudest moments in Mythics was when, I have done a Freehold +8 and managed to go through Trothak the Shark Puncher without a healer(he died 2 times in the beginning of the fight), because the fight allowed me to get out of form at times and heal my party, and god it felt so good.
Motherlode is another example of bosses letting you do other stuff than just tanking.
This is all great fun, and actually makes you feel very good, if you are willing to put in the extra effort like some of us do and learn when and where you can pull off these shape-shifting shenanigans, but it also means that Blizzard must keep designing dungeons/encounters with this specific limitation/weakness of the Druid in mind.
But I don't trust Blizzard, so it is a safer solution for them to come up with a way to make shape-shifting more safe than keeping in mind this class weakness in every single PvE content they try to design.
I have done a Freehold +8 and managed to go through Trothak the Shark Puncher without a healer(he died 2 times in the beginning of the fight), because the fight allowed me to get out of form at times and heal my party, and god it felt so good.
Oh yeah, I had something like that with Knight Captain Valyri, the third boss in Tol Dagor, a +8 or something like that.
Everyone died at 20% due to explosions on Tyrannical, and uh. It took me ages, but I solo'd the rest of that. Yeah yeah, DKs and Paladins would laugh and solo it with ease, but it felt pretty cool to take advantage of her turning and casting that slooow-cast cone to Swiftmend myself and such.
It's tricky, because I have to admit, I do love the skillful play of shifting out at the right times to heal my allies with Restoration Affinity. I guess a lot of the problem is that we have to time it properly and make sure we don't die stupidly out-of-form, just to be able to do what the other tanks can already do better than us anyway.

No record of selling to them because it was not listed under their name but a different name she said they used for their part if the company that dispurses the accounts and told me ... What was it.. It's with my paperwork, Northern Group? Something like that, that is the name it is sold to under. And that is the name that my attorney checked out so we paid. Sorry guys wish I could provide more information.
Maria,You can't send them a C&D letter if they won't give you a mailing address. As I said, they are calling from a cell phone and won't answer emails. So how can you trace a location for them? You can't.
I looked into the loan I had out and it is paid off as of September 2011. Theoriginal lender has no record of selling this loan to Melissa and her company (supposedly Western Recovery Associates). As a matter of fact, the first thing the lender did was send me an email warning of fraudulent collector calls and gave me a site link where I could file a complaint.I can find no record of the existence of such a company. When I try to find a website for them, I get a Go-daddy domain site. I was given an email address to send my payoff letter to. They will not answer an email with an email - my guess is that if they do that, the authorities will be able to track them down by I.P. address. Also, what kind of legit business makes calls from a cell phone????This Melissa says she sent me proof of the debt by courier a month ago, after she said she would not send it because there was not enough time before the claim was filed. She said she would email me the documents.. I have not received anything either by email, mail or courier.
I received a call from a Melissa the first call was about a week ago. I did get a message just like the one about the claim and my county. I didn't call her back till i got another message from her two days later saying she needed to go over information with me. I was interested in what the heck this could be about. When I called her she told me about a pay day loan I had taken out in October 2011. I know I took out this loan so I called the company and they told me that they had gave the account out to be collected and verified the company with me. I look up pay day loan laws and terms and conditions and didnt realize the interest and stuff I signed up online for. I asked Melissa for a day to call her back to wrap my head around everything and she let me call her back. I called my attorney and he looked into my loan and it was legit and was directed from my attorney that I needed to pay this back and it wasnt the same as if a credit card was over due. I called her back and she let me set up dates of my payments that I wanted. To Andrea the comment above mine. I asked my attorney about a C&D to tell them to leave me alone. And was explained to me about ignoring it makes it worse. He showed me paperwork about them being able to place judgments and I am trying to fix my credit. Also, if you look it up my attorney also showed me that it is not a C&D violation unless you send a letter in your writing to them. That is only way you can have a C&D. This is for payday loans so if you are in a situation like mine I would suggest at least looking into that loan you had out. Also after I made my payment I got a letter of the payment I made and so on paying it to a paid in full account. Attorney also advised me to keep that letter because it is more of the loans that scammed us not the people wanting to collect money. I know i cant even get a bank account any more.food for thought i guess. good luck everyone.
I first received a call from this Melissa Dunlap about a month ago, claiming that WRA had assumed ownership of an online payday loan I defaulted on. She called not only me, but my mother and a friend of mine. I told her to cease and desist, and that she would need to send me some documentation of this alledged debt. I also informed her that I had given her contact information to the FTC as whoever she is, she was in violation of the fair debt collection act.My husband received a call today. Ms. Dunlap inplied to him that she had document sent to me by courier and that there are two claims pending against me. I let my husband know this is some sort of scam and that I had received calls from her before.
Just got the same call from Melissa Dunlap on my cell phone stating she was with WRA firm stating I had two pending claims with her client. She went on to say that the claims would be filed in the county I reside if I did not get back to her today. Now she just called my work and when she said her name i just hung up on her.
Melissa Dunlap called my work saying she was calling from my bank, Citibank. She then proceeded to call my cell phone and left a message saying she was calling from WRA. She is impersonating people and misrepresenting herself.
These people keep calling claiming to be WRI. no messages left.wish someone would sue their AZZ and put them out of business. and pay us for damages for having to put up with their calling.
If you recognize who possesses (786) 350-2554, please feel free to upload it too.
I received two phone calls from that number. It called to my cell phone. I called back on a different phone. It said, "disconnected." Then, that phone called to the phone that I used to call out three times. I picked up. It only said "Thank you, Good Bye", then hung up.
For 3 weeks I have been getting messages on my phone from this number. It is a beeping fax machine.
i called back and it said "the number you have dialed is unallocated"
i was also called by them many times. is there any way to place yourself on a do--not-call list?
This number keeps calling my cell phone...it is a recording and it state the company name of WCA and it said if you took depression meds while pregnant you can be awarded money. Ugh, I am registered on the do not call list for all of my numbers, but these jerks keep calling.
Last I checked, it's illegal to have a recording make calls unless there's an emergency, a pre-existing business relationship, or a political ad. The call I got from this number was in fact a robocall, and met none of those criteria. If they keep calling, talk to a lawyer about suing them for harassment, at the very least; I think it's a $500 fine for punitive damages per call.
Wish they would STOP Calling my CELL. This CO$T me $$$ each time they call. Wish I could BLOCK this number!
This number calls me every day, and I am getting so annoyed. I haven't answered, and they never leave a message.
This number keeps calling me. No clue who it is, but I know I don't want them calling me.
This is not a call from anyone I know.
I've been receiving these voicemails from Erica for a few months now. I've been deleting them thinking she's a telemarketer or job recruiter since she doesn't a company or what it's regarding.
They continually leave a prerecored message saying Hi this is Erica, please call me at 800-348-3304 and then repeat it. This happens whether I answer the phone or my answer machine picks it up. This is annoying and has been happening for over 3 months now. I want it to stop.
I'm assuming these folks also contract with MCI. I received a bill from MCI (a service I've NEVER used) a couple of months ago for telephone service at another residence but under my name (I've live solely at my present address for about 35 years). I called the MCI 800 number and explained they had sent the bill to the wrong person. I thought I was helping MCI resolve this matter but they apparently decided to it was worth it to them to send this to the collection people.I, for one, will NEVER use MCI. Don't care if they drop their rates to a fraction of zero.
Also getting calls from this number. The second time a message from an "Erica" was left asking for a return call, but also leaving no reason for the call/ or company name/info.
We also receive daily calls from the recorded "Erica" from 319-274-1907. We do not have any creditors so there is no reason for a collection agency to be calling us. I will report them for harassement if I can find out who takes care of this kind of thing.
They kept calling but no one was there when I answered. I called back and spoke to a human. They claimed they wanted someone named Catherine, but I have had this number for 8 years.
uh...tell them they are calling the wrong number maybe?
They were calling my house because they did an address look-up of the person that used to live there and found my phone number attached to it. I called back the actual number [(319) 274-1907] and talked to the lady who answered. After clarifying the situation, she said they would make the change and they wouldn't call us again. Give that a shot.
Does anyone know how to get these people to stop calling a wrong number? They're after someone who lives in my building with the same last name, and they've decided they can reach him through my number. I know they're looking for him because I've had a number of other agencies calling for "Adam." When I explain the situation they stop calling, but apparently these people think it's okay to harass unrelated people.
They're driving me crazy too... I am also disputing the charges because Verizon is trying to charge me an early termination fee when I purposely waited out my contract end date. It's so frustrating.
I signed my cell number up on the "do not call.gov list as well as reported the number to the FCC and the collectors from this number stopped calling me about a week later....Thank You Jesus!
A collection agency working on behalf of Verizon Wireless. I am disputing their charges with them, but this company is harassing my family!
please stop calln my phone at three im d am.
Got 3 calls today from 9728424403. I get at least 1 call everyday. I told them I am on the "No Call List" and to remove me from any calling lists they have for my number. I got the same run around as described by others complaining here. I want to find out how to make these people stop since I am very ill and besides I do not buy anything on the phone. EVER!I tried to call this number after picking up the phone to once again tell them not to call here. The only thing on the other end was dead silence. So I called them back to tell them once again not to call my number. I got the dead silence at first then piano mu sac. I felt like a fool waiting for 5 minutes for some one answer the call. No such luck.They need to be stopped.
I have been receiving calls for a couple of weeks. Recently we received a call, 8:56p - May 9 2012. May 10-I contacted & asked about having my name removed & person just kept going on about discounts with utility. Very rude, had NO interest in my request to have my name removed.
Caller contacted minor child cell phone refused to end call when advised. Poss selling alternative electric Co. Options.

Cabinetry Finish and ReFinish « Marcelino Custom Finishes, Inc.
Inset painted burl wood – Apparently the cabinets had real burl-wood veneer specked-out, but it was finished without it. Time was of the essence. The general contractor asked if we could paint the burl-wood over the existing mahogany instead. What you see is the result of that inquiry.
The kitchen Cabinetry finish was created with a two color stain glaze combination. Then the cabinets were lightly distressed whichgives them a distinctive edge. The kitchen is warm and inviting with a lived in feeling.
Modernize a powder room with a contemporary finish.
The cabinets in this built in hutch were in good condition but the color and oak wood grain dated the cabinet. To compliment the interior design and add richness to the dining room the cabinets were refinished to a cherry/mahogany custom finish.
This was a brand new townhouse kitchen that the owner wanted to create an impression with. To create an elegant, unique kitchen the cabinets we done in a grey-green color with a rusty wash to the owners specifications. The kitchen is amazing!
The darker cabinets in the kitchen did not brighter up this 1980's kitchen. Instead, the client opted for a warm base and color wash to hide the pattern of the wood grain. A darker, metallic color was used at the very top of the cabinet to give it a more contemporary look.
The kitchen cabinets were painted white, and a soft, warm grey directional wash was applied to the inner side of doors. The goal here was to "break down" the starkness of white and create some visual interest.
