Review - The Betrayed Wife

Title:   The Betrayed Wife
Author:  Kevin O'Brien
Genre:   Psychological Thriller
Publisher:  Pinnacle
Format:  Kindle ARC
No. of Pages:   544
Date of Publication:  July 30, 2019
My Rating:  4 Stars

THE PERFECT FAMILY Sheila O'Rourke has always known her husband isn't perfect. Who is? But things have been better since they moved to Seattle to make a fresh start. So much so that when sixteen-year-old Eden turns up, claiming to be Dylan's child by another woman, Sheila tries to be welcoming. CAN BECOME At first, Sheila feels sympathy for the girl. Eden's mother recently fell to her death in an incident with unsettling parallels to Sheila's past. Still, Eden is a difficult house guest, sowing discord among the family. Sheila has already been on edge for weeks, receiving anonymous texts, noticing odd noises coming from the house next door. And that's just the start. A PERFECT NIGHTMARE Sheila wants to trust Dylan. She wants to feel safe in her own home. But no one can hurt you more easily than the ones closest to you . . . the ones you keep believing until it's too late . . .

Sheila O'Rourke behaves in a really kind manner. Her marriage was a bit rocky, but a recent move to Seattle smoothed things out a bit. However, when a teen girl shows up at her home, claiming to be the daughter of her mother, Sheila is perplexed. Shockingly, the girl's mother has just died from falling off a roof. Knowing she has no one else, Sheila invites the girl, Eden, to live with her husband and their two teen children.

Things begin to go awry rather quickly. Things such as anonymous texts, strange noises next door, and other odd things, make Sheila worry. She is not just worried that this might have something to do with Eden, but she begins to doubt her husband Dylan. Is there something that he is hiding from her?

This psychological thriller by Kevin O'Brien has no shortage of unlikable characters, most notably, Eden and Dylan. As Dylan's true nature is revealed, it is any wonder that Sheila stayed with him over the years. Then there is the weird and obnoxious neighbor that moves in next door. Also, there is Eden's boyfriend. Lastly, there is an unnamed narrator for part of the story. Therefore, there are lots of twists and turns throughout the many pages. I was rather impressed with Sheila's focus. Had it been me, I would have shriveled up and shut out the world.

The Betrayed Wife is the first book I have read by this author. I loved the style, the suspense and the shocking conclusion. This book did WOW me and I look forward to reading more from him in the future.

Many thanks to Pinnacle Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Before his thrillers landed him on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists, Kevin O’Brien was a railroad inspector. The author of 20 internationally-published thrillers, he won the Spotted Owl Award for Best Pacific Northwest Mystery, and is a core member of Seattle 7 Writers. Press & Guide said: “If Alfred Hitchcock were alive today and writing novels, his name would be Kevin O’Brien.” Kevin’s latest nail-biter, THE BETRAYED WIFE, will be in bookstores this summer.

  1. Glad to see you liked it, I have this one on my cloud

  2. This sounds very intriguing. Great review.

  3. Great review, this book looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm really glad you fully enjoyed reading this book, thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.

Around Europe by Train: Part 1 (Budapest & Vienna)

If you decide to go away on vacation for one month, as we did, be prepared to have a ton of work piled up waiting for you. This was my case, at least, but I finally managed to find the time to publish my first update in a series of… few about the vacation itself and the places that we visited.

Yes, I know that this blog should be about Romania only, but maybe once you move in here you will want to follow in our footsteps and do a similar vacation. It’s really worth it!

We’ll start with the first two stops: Budapest and Vienna. We spent three nights in each and they were so different now when I look back at everything that I just can’t believe it.

I was sure that Budapest was going to be one of the worst cities that we have on our list and, boy, I was wrong!

Budapest was actually so surprising, so beautiful, so amazing, that actually ended up as one of my most favorite destinations and clearly a city (or, better said, a country – Hungary) that must be visited again!

We booked our stay through AirBnb and we were really lucky with the apartment: it was very modern inside, but in an old building, right in the heart of Budapest, near the Oktogon metro station and within walking distance to some of the attractions in the city center. Plus, Hooters was just around the corner. Ha!

The advantage of most AirBnb rentals – fully equipped kitchens!

What I liked the most about Budapest was the fact that you can just go walking down the streets and you’d have a ton to see. The old buildings with impressive facades, with columns and that old charm… that was something that I had absolutely loved about Budapest!

Plus, the fact that it’s so filled with history and awesomeness that you can simply go out for a walk and end up in one of the most amazing areas ever.

I say that from my own experience: one afternoon, I told my wife we should go for a short walk. “Yes, we’re just going around the building, no need to take the camera with us!”

Rookie traveler mistake #1 as we ended up in an amazing park with some of the most impressive statues I have ever seen and eventually reached a fairy-tale caste – the Vajdahunyad Castle, pictured below.

I took this with my cell phone. Everything was way more beautiful, though

We also visited the Zoo – which is really impressive and Eric (you know him as Baby Romanian from previous articles) really loved it. We went there a bit too early, because Junior woke us up at 6:30 AM EVERY DAY… so some of the animals were still sleeping and attractions closed, but it was still a really fun experience.

Eric was fascinated by water, fountains and statues. The animals – not so much!
This giraffe cam all the way to the fence looking for food. We had none for her, though…
They even had Dinosaurs there!

We also rode a funicular for the first time ever to visit the Buda Castle. Impressive, huge and, in my opinion, impossible to defeat back in the days, no matter where the attackers came from. If you’re a zombies fan like myself, you’ll know, once you see it, that it’s the perfect place to be in when the zombie apocalypse strikes.

The funicular. Quite a ride!
And the view from up there

They had to climb a bit if they wanted to conquer this castle!

Prices were really low, way less than what I had expected. Restaurant prices were close to what we have in Romania (which makes them really low), but some supermarket products were way cheaper, including organic food and baby products and food.

The food that I ate at the restaurant across the street from Hooters. (In case you were wondering – no, I didn’t go to Hooters.)

All in all, I really enjoyed my time in Budapest – it was a pleasant surprise for me, a big surprise and I am happy we didn’t skip our stay here as I initially wanted.

The train that took us from Budapest to Vienna
The train that took us from Budapest to Vienna

After Budapest’s extremely pleasant surprise, an unpleasant one came from Vienna. I’ve been here a bit over 10 years ago and I know I loved it a lot.

Things were completely different now, when I was welcomed to a city where green spaces have been taken over by buildings and invaded by people. Following the relaxed, chill vibe we were getting in Budapest (and found in most of the other cities too), people in Vienna seemed to always be in a hurry.

They didn’t smile, they seemed stressed and upset. It reminded me a lot of Bucharest, with the suffocating concrete jungle and probably that’s why I didn’t like it that much.

I did love the small patio that our AirBnb rental had - we brought our own food and nature did the rest!
I did love the small patio that our AirBnb rental had – we brought our own food and nature did the rest!

I went there with two goals in mind: visit the Madame Tussaud’s museum and the Schonbrunn area, including the zoo. And that we did – and had an amazing time in the process!

Schonbrunn is absolutely fabulous – we chose not to visit the castle itself as I had already been there and our kid would not find it that enjoyable, so instead we decided to explore and enjoy the park and the Zoo.

We spent an entire day there – probably around 8 hours – Eric even took a nap out there in the nature in his mother’s arms, and we still didn’t get to see it all. But it’s truly spectacular and enough of a reason to visit Vienna.

And I also loved Madame Tussaud’s!

Still, I left Vienna with a bitter taste. It was way below expectations, it was dirty, it was chaotic and it even smelled bad everywhere, especially in the subway trains. But, I filled up on Asian food (I am a fan and we have none in the city I live in), so I won’t call it a compete failure.

6.5 Euros for all that. Yum!
6.5 Euros for all that. Yum!

In part two (coming sooner than this one – hopefully), we’ll talk about Munchen, Verona and Trieste. Make sure to check it out if you want to know how our adventure continued.

  1. Hi Calin:
    I’ve been waiting with bated breath for your first trip report! I hope you found everything at home as you left it. Hopefully, your counrty cottage has not been further ravished!
    So, how did you comunicate with the Hungarians and Austrians? Did you use guidebook phrases, or did you use English (at which you are VERY fluent)?
    What do you think of VIPs visiting Bucharest who mistakenly say they’re in “Budapest”? I know Madonna, Michael Jackson, and probably other touring musicians made that mistake. I saw there’s a tongue-in-cheek Romanian ad campaign playing up on this confusion.
    I am glad you and the family enjoyed Budapest. I’ve always heard good things about the city, and the costs are not outrageous as Paris, for example. I understand the language is NOT easy to learn, however. (At least I can understand some Romanian;-) Your pictures are very well done–whatever the device you used! Maybe little Eric will grow up to be a horticultureist, or a landscape architect!
    I am surprised that Wien was not too much to your liking (Madame Tussaud’s notwithstanding. BTW: you look pretty zonked-out sitting next to the Queen of England;-)
    So is it more or less dirty than Bucharest? I know it’s a lot more expensive. I wanted to include Austria on my itinerary back in 2006 when I “did” Germany. I hear Salzburg is a nice place to visit–but it seems as if Austria is now verboten (except for Asian cuisine;-)–ha, ha!
    So did Wife Romanian enjoy the vacay as much as you? Was the train service out of Budapest comparable to the Romanian “rails”?
    Thanks for sharing! Looking foward to Part Deux!

    • Hello, Teil. Everything at home was just as we left it and we just went to check out our cottage this weekend and came back with a bag full of cherries. So everything’s great there too – nature doesn’t need much of our help 🙂

      In all countries that we visited, we used English. We had no problems using it – everybody did and we never had trouble finding people to speak great English. We learned a few greetings, but that was it 🙂

      It indeed happens for people to mistakenly say Budapest instead of Bucharest. There was even a very important soccer match that took place in Bucharest and a big bunch of fans ended up in Budapest – so everybody makes that confusion. I did see that Budapest is indeed more popular and in my opinion better looking that Bucharest, so that’s understandable.

      Vienna was not as dirty as Bucharest (not even as dirty as the Croatian cities we have visited), but overall it was a disappointment. We met there a friend on my wife’s – she is from Graz – and told us that Vienna is indeed not the best anymore, unlike other Austrian cities. We passed by train through Salzburg and it looked amazing!

      The train out of Budapest was simply amazing – the train was operated by Railjet and can’t be compared with the trains in Romania, unfortunately. This one, together with the Vienna-Munchen and Munchen – Verona trains were spotless clean and truly amazing.

  2. Thanks for the amazing pics. Yes, I saw Budapest on my honeymoon (ahem, my first one). It was already great back then when it was still communist (yes, a very mild variety). Only problem was that I was as sick as a dog from a stomach bug I picked up in Germany, so I wasn’t in the mood to eat much.

    The English teacher in me wants to say something about the difference between a castle and a palace. A castle is usually more rustic and for defensive purposes. A palace is a luxurious building where Kings and Queens and their lackeys can live it up. Buda castle looks like a castle. Schönbrunn is a palace. Neuschwanstein in Bavaria is really a palace masquerading as a castle. Sorry to get English-Gestapo on you.

    • I’m glad I can learn new things, Stuart. I really didn’t know the difference (I really thought that Palaces are just bigger than castles :D).

      It sucks when you are sick – things do change a lot. We had a cold in Trieste, and that took a lot from it.

  3. Oh how glad l am to hear about your trip 🙂 ! The pictures are great, l know how it is when you leave your camera and then spot something nice. I am thrilled that you really like Budapest. As you know, we seriously considered moving there, we liked it that much. It is just beautiful. I’ve never been to Austria. I had an ex boyfriend from there years ago, and meant to visit, but just never got around to it. Maybe l’ll just just skip that for now. I love those pictures of you at the wax museum..hah..hah. It looks like you had a lot of time :-). I went to the one in Hollywood a long time ago, and l enjoyed it as well. I can’t wait for the next update. Welcome back!

    • I loved all the props that they had at the museum – all to make sure that you have a great time there.

      According to the Austrian friend we met, it’s not the whole country that looks and feels like Vienna. The cities that we passed through by train, especially Salzburg, looked a lot better, just as you would expect an Austrian city to look like – with great views and that beautiful architecture. We would give Austria another try, but certainly not Vienna!

Your technology is mine! Doctor sues Apple over Apple Watch heart rate monitoring method

Your technology is mine! Doctor sues Apple over Apple Watch heart rate monitoring method
The technology that an Apple Watch uses to detect heartbeat irregularities violates a patent held by a New York University cardiologist, he has alleged in a lawsuit filed against the tech giant.

Dr. Joseph Wiesel asked a federal court in Brooklyn to order Apple to pay damages, claiming the company is violating his rights “with knowledge and understanding”.

According to court papers, Dr. Wiesel invented a method and device for detecting atrial fibrillation, using photoplethysmography to “assess whether a pulse rate pattern is regular or irregular”. This means the user can monitor atrial fibrillation in a non-hospital setting.

After the same technology appeared in the Apple Watch, Dr. Wiesel engaged with the company through numerous letters, but he says they refused to negotiate “in good faith”.

The lawsuit contends that the technology covered by Wiesel’s patent is “a critical part of the Apple Watch and is used to drive customer demand.”

Apple representatives would not immediately respond to the accusations, a move consistent with its policy of not commenting on litigation.

The Minister for Education has said he will not have to pay more teachers to correct Leaving Cert exam papers to speed up the correction process.

Richard Bruton made the comments following a court case by an 18-year-old student who wanted to get a marking mistake in her Leaving Cert exam fixed in time for her to go to university.

Rebecca Carter won her High Court case and has accepted an offer to study veterinary medicine at UCD.

The judge in the case, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys, said the current appeals process was highly unfair, not fit for purpose and caused untold stress on students.

Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme, Mr Bruton said would look at a tightening of timetables with regard to the appeals process as a way to resolve the issue.

He said that he is bringing together the State Examinations Commission and the Institutes of Higher Education to sort out the problem.

Hat trick for Rutronik

Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH has won its third gold medal: After winning awards for offering “Top Career Opportunities for Engineers” and “Top Career Opportunities for Graduates” as part of the “Germany Test” studies conducted by Focus and Focus Money, the distributor has also scored top marks in the “Top Career Opportunities” study, which included employers from all categories.

Rutronik is the industry benchmark in the wholesale category. The "Germany Test" study "Top Career Opportunities" conducted by Focus and Focus Money looked at the working atmosphere, innovative strength, and employer attractiveness at the 10,000 biggest companies in Germany by number of employees. The researchers used the results to produce a ranking structured by industry. A total of 748 companies received an award.

It is the distributor's fourth award of the year. The company had already set standards in the wholesale sector for "Top Career Opportunities for Engineers" and "Top Career Opportunities for Graduates" in the "Germany Test" studies and also scored 100 out of 100 on each occasion. In addition, Rutronik is also among the industry's top ten training companies.

"Our strategy is paying off"

Thomas Rudel, CEO of Rutronik, is delighted with the latest award: "Our strategy of reacting innovatively and flexibly to change is paying off. In times of ever faster technological development, our employees are always working at the cutting edge. At the same time, the flextime model gives them extensive options to balance their career and family life. Not least, they are able to take advantage of the wide range of professional development and sporting opportunities. As such, we are positioned outstandingly well for the future," says Rudel.

Arctic Fox

Category: Wildlife

With a luxurious white fur coat, the Arctic fox lives in some of the world's most inhospitable environments.

Arctic Fox

Arctic Fox

Arctic Fox

Arctic Fox

Scientific & Common Names

Arctic foxes are sometimes called polar foxes, snow foxes, or white foxes. Its scientific name is Alopex lagopus.

Arctic foxes are about the size of a house-cat. Even though they seem small and delicate, they are tough little creatures. To keep warm in harsh Arctic weather, they have thick, fluffy fur. In the winter, their coats are usually pure white. However, in summer, the coat of the Arctic fox may be brown and yellow, silver, or gray. These color changes allow Arctic foxes to blend in with their surroundings whether or not there is snow on the ground. Arctic foxes are 28 to 43 inches long and usually weigh between 3 and 21 pounds. Arctic foxes have dog-like bodies and faces with long, bushy tails and large, erect ears.

Arctic foxes mate in the winter, and the females give birth in early spring after a gestation period of 52 days. Litters range from 6 to 19 pups, and they stay underground in the den until they are about 4 months old. The pups depend on their parents until fall when they are able to strike out on their own.

Arctic foxes eat rabbits and bird eggs, but the food source upon which these creatures are most dependent is the lemming. They are so dependent on lemmings for food that, when lemming populations are low, so are the numbers of Arctic foxes. These foxes live in dens deep underneath the snow. Families re-use dens for generations, so many dens have been used by the same fox bloodlines for hundreds of years.

Because of the superior insulating power of their thick fur coats, the pelts of Arctic foxes have historically been used by indigenous tribes for clothing. At one time, Arctic fox population numbers were threatened by hunting, but as the fur trade has diminished, Arctic fox numbers have rebounded nicely.

Present Status

In most areas, population numbers of Arctic foxes are stable. However, in some areas of Scandinavia and Russia, only a handful of Arctic foxes remain. Arctic foxes are found in the Arctic tundra, including Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, extreme Northern Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia. The two biggest threats to Arctic foxes are climate change and the invasion of the more aggressive red fox into the Arctic foxes' territory.

Purple Heart Day: Honoring the Fallen and Wounded

Black BG with purple heart.jpgToday, August 7, marks National Purple Heart Day. This is a special day on which we recognize recipients of the Purple Heart. Saint Leo University has a long and proud history of educating our nation’s men and women in uniform, and we salute all who have served our nation on this day and throughout the year.

Starting in the fall of 2017, our University Campus will have two parking spaces designated for Purple Heart recipients for student veterans and military members as another special way of recognizing their tremendous service. Similar parking spaces will be designated at some of our centers around the country as well

What is the Purple Heart?

The Purple Heart is a U.S. military medal primarily given to servicemembers who have been wounded in combat or in honor of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is presented in the name of the sitting U.S. president and is widely viewed as one of the most respected military honors. It is also the oldest military award still given out today.

More specifically, it is a heart shaped, gold rimmed brass medallion that has a profile of George Washington on a purple enamel base. Directly above this profile of Washington is a shield of his family’s code of arms.

On the reverse side of the medal, there is a raised heart with the words “For Military Merit” inscribed in it.

The medal, which is handmade by a private company, hangs from a woven purple ribbon with white stripes.

When was the Purple Heart created?

Originally called the Badge of Military Merit, an early incarnation of the Purple Heart was designed by then-General George Washington on August 7, 1782. Hence, this is why August 7 became a national day to recognize the Purple Heart. It was presented to 3 Revolutionary War soldiers the following year. This decoration was simply a heart made of purple cloth.

The modern version of the medal was first revamped by General Douglas MacArthur on February 22, 1932 – the bicentennial of Washington’s birthday – and has been bestowed upon eligible servicemembers ever since. It was also retroactively awarded to servicemembers starting on April 5, 1917, which marked when the United States entered World War I.

Who can receive the Purple Heart?

This prestigious symbol of sacrifice is given to any member of the armed forces or any civilian national who is wounded, killed, or has died or may die due to sustained wounds from enemy forces in a combat situation. It may also be awarded to those who are injured as a result of an act of terrorism or being a prisoner of war.

How many Americans have received a Purple Heart?

Estimates say that about 1.8 million American military personnel have received a Purple Heart over the decades over which it has been awarded.

In recent years, over 20,000 servicemembers have been granted a Purple Heart since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor in New Windsor, New York holds a national registry of Purple Heart recipients.

Fox News and Breitbart spent the holiday weekend sliding outrageous white supremacist ideas into the mainstream

Amanda Marcotte
December 28, 2016 3:00PM (UTC)

One of the biggest reasons to worry about Donald Trump's presidency, beyond all the terrible policies likely to be enacted, is the fear that it will embolden overt racists, and help mainstream overt anti-Semitism and white supremacy.

Unfortunately, events around the Christmas holiday suggest those fears have come to pass. White supremacists are getting bolder and their views are starting to gain traction in conservative media spaces that have large and relatively mainstream conservative audiences.

Right-wing media raising the alarm about a mythical "war on Christmas" has become a dark annual tradition, an opportunity for conservatives, aided and abetted by dishonest media sources, to convince themselves they're are being oppressed by Scrooge-like secular liberals who want to ban Christmas. The idea that there's a war on Christmas has anti-Semitic roots; Henry Ford accused Jews of trying to steal Christmas in his 1920s era article series titled "The International Jew." In recent years, the notion that Jews specifically are to blame for this persecution has been scrubbed from the annual right wing hysterics, and blame for the supposed war on Christmas has been laid at the feet of politically correct liberals. Anti-Semitism could be read in between the lines, perhaps, but it was almost never overt.

But this is the era of Trump, and so it should be no surprise that the subtext is becoming the text, and the anti-Semitism is becoming overt.

Centerville Elementary School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was forced to cancel its nnual production of "A Christmas Carol," reportedly because teachers didn't think there was enough time for rehearsals. But right-wing media outlets decided to blame a single Jewish family whose child attends the school.

Fox News  and Breitbart both ran alarmist stories about this cancelled school play, citing "unnamed" parents who supposedly complained about the line "God bless us, everyone." While the Fox story noted that officials "said they dropped the play from their schedule because it takes too much time out of teaching academics." it was clear that the story was meant to fit into the "war on Christmas" narrative — why else would a cancelled school play be worthy of national news attention? Unsurprisingly, commenters at Breitbart grew threatening towards the Jewish family, posting the school's address of the school and suggesting that the family's should be exposed as well.

Breitbart News also spent Christmas trying to mainstream the white supremacist concept of "white genocide." White supremacists spend a lot of time pushing the belief that multiculturalists and anti-racists are trying to commit genocide against white people by breeding them out of existence. (That's one reason they have such a hateful obsession with interracial relationships.) Over the Christmas holiday, Breitbart found an excuse to introduce the concept of "white genocide" into their coverage, by attacking a Drexel University professor who tried to mock white supremacists.

On Christmas Eve, a leftist political theory scholar at Drexel named George Ciccariello-Maher sent out a now-legendary tweet saying, "All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide." He was clearly joking, tweaking the noses of white supremacists who have developed this paranoid belief that there is such a thing, but Warner Todd Huston at Breitbart pretended to take Ciccariello-Maher seriously, writing, "The professor’s Twitter feed is filled with hateful, obnoxious messages, anti-Americanism, slams of President Donald Trump, attacks on Jews, as well as pro-Black Lives Matter and pro-communist sloganeering."

That Brietbart article was a clever way to soften up the larger conservative audience to this white supremacist idea. By pretending this joke was a serious call for killing off white people, Huston can imply that "white genocide" is real. Propping up a standard villain -- a left-wing academic -- and making it about "political correctness" helps ease the audience into buying into a narrative that previously only existed in fringe far-right circles that openly embrace racism.

This is how white supremacists operate: They tell stories about how white Christians are supposedly under assault from Jews and people of color, which in turn allows them to justify their racist views as a form of self-protection. Now those narratives are getting louder in mainstream conservative spaces.

Even Bill O'Reilly, who has generally been careful about not appearing overtly racist, rolled out the white supremacist claim last week that calls for equality are an attack on whiteness itself.

"Summing up, the left wants power taken away from the white establishment," O'Reilly said on his Fox News program.

“The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with,” he added. “Therefore white working-class voters must be marginalized, and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities?"

That argument is indistinguishable from what overt hate groups are saying: Calls for more equitable power-sharing should be understood as an attack on white people. While O'Reilly didn't go near the "white genocide" claim, his rant shares the same logic, that racism is justified because white people are supposedly being victimized.

This paranoia is being deliberately stoked by Trump and his team. When some journalists criticized Trump's incoming White House chief of staff, Reince Preibus, for a Christmas press release that seemingly equated Trump and Jesus Christ by saying, "this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King," Republican spokesman Sean Spicer pretended the critics were attacking Christianity.

This reaction echoed a previous Trump press release that characterized the Christmas market attack in Berlin as a direct assault on Christians. As with the "white genocide" arguments, the purpose is to portray white Christians as an oppressed group and to argue that racist attitudes and actions can be justified as self-defense.

Again, none of this should be a surprise. Of course elevating an overt racist to the White House makes other racists feel that they have public support to come out and share their ugly views with the world. Unfortunately, there's every reason to believe that Fox News and Breitbart will continue down this path, so long as they continue to make political gains from wallowing in ever-bolder racist rhetoric.

Printed Sarees

Prints are fun, they are versatile and practical, many of them are often easier on the pocket and even the eye – and they have a timeless allure. Probably that’s why – love for printed sarees refuses to fade, even when numerous other, dressier and more ornate options are available.

Of course, elegant weaves of India – be it the well-known handlooms like Banarasi or Kanjeevaram or the classic woven motif details on sari fabrics – will always keep winning the love of the women in India and across the world. But, the prints too have an eternal charm – and they are courted by saree lovers at some time or other.

Printed sari is super popular across the country – among the women of all ages- and since many of these sarees are quite easy to maintain, Indian women traveling abroad also don’t forget to add them to their global suitcases. Mostly prints are done on lighter and more fluid fabrics like georgettes and chiffons, crepes and poly crepes and all sorts of poly silks and synthetic georgettes etc. Due to this, printed sarees are easier to wear, maintain and drape – and win thumbs up from saree novices as well as saree veterans.

Apart from the classic printed chiffon sarees and printed georgette sarees – which will instantly transport you to the dreamy world of Yash Chopra heroines, sashaying on Swiss hills – printed silks and printed cottons, cotton-silk sarees are quite popular and in demand these days. Since these sarees are dressed by their colorful and attractive prints – most of them seldom have extra ostentation or embroidery. This keeps printed sarees light and suitable for day-wear and office-wear. That is precisely the reason printed sarees have always been favorites as office-wear sarees and regular-wear sarees.

From flowers to sought-after ethnic prints, or youthful polka dots and geometric prints - to very trendy abstract prints or fun, quirky prints – there is absolutely no dearth of variety in the domain of printed saree. Printed sarees with border are also quite famous now, as rich borders instantly lift the glam factor and opulence of these sarees, making them perfect as party-wear sarees and even wedding wear sarees.

Amidst the printed domain too, various kinds of prints keep coming and going. Floral print sarees are quite in vogue right now – and so are Kalamkari prints and abstract prints. In fact, you will see many celebrities flaunting these chic sarees – and these smart prints are making waves, even in the other Indian dresses like Anarkalis, salwar suits and lehengas.

Prints have a wondrous, light and youthful charm – unlike embroidery, which is usually formal and heavy. So, more and more designers are using prints in sarees to keep the look balanced and make the sarees more versatile. So, you will see printed half and half sarees, wedding sarees with printed details, sarees with matching prints on blouses, printed laces, printed patch-work etc.

At, you can browse and shop for all sorts of latest trends in printed sarees – be it the last season’s trendsetting quirky prints like camera printed sarees, birds printed sarees or this season’s haute floral design sarees or sarees and lehengas with painting like prints. These sarees come paired with gorgeous blouses, many of which may have matching prints, and you have the option of getting them custom stitched by our experienced tailors. The printed saris catalogs are regularly updated, so you will never be short of wonderful options in your much-loved saree variety. We ship worldwide, and thus, your favorite printed saree can reach your doorstep – anywhere across the globe!

Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football (Paperback)

Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football Cover Image
Not Yet Published

"One of the best insider-football books ever written.” —Douglas Brinkley

A riveting chronicle of Michigan's Jim Harbaugh era, and "an unprecedented look at the inner workings" (Sporting News) of a big-time college football program

For the past year, John U. Bacon has received rare access to Jim Harbaugh’s University of Michigan football team: coaches, players, and staffers, in closed-door meetings, locker rooms, meals, and classes. Overtime captures this storied program at the crossroads, as the sport’s winningest team battles to reclaim its former glory. But what if the price of success today comes at the cost of your soul? Do you pay it, or compete without compromising?

In the spirit of HBO’s Hardknocks, Overtime delivers a deeply reported human portrait that follows the Wolverine coaches, players, and staffers through the 2018 season, including Harbaugh, offensive stars Shea Patterson and Karan Higdon, NFL-ready defensive standouts Rashan Gary, Devin Bush Jr., and Chase Winovich, second-stringers striving to find their place on the team, and their parents’ reactions to it all. Bacon met with them every week during a season that saw the Wolverines ride a ten-game winning streak to #4 in the nation, then take a beating at the hands of arch-rival Ohio State, led by controversial coach Urban Meyer, Harbaugh’s foil. Overtime also previews the crucial 2019 campaign ahead.

Above all, this is a human story. In Overtime we not only discover what these public figures are like behind the scenes, we learn what the experience means to them as they go through it – the trials, the triumphs, and the unexpected answers to a central question: Is it worth it?

From the “poet laureate of Michigan football” (according to New York Times’s Joe Drape), and one of the keenest observers of college football, Overtime offers a window into a legendary program and the sport itself that only John U. Bacon could deliver.

About the Author

John U. Bacon is the author of the national bestseller The Great Halifax Explosion and four bestselling books about college football, including Three and OutFourth and LongEndzone, and Bo’s Lasting Lessons, co-authored with Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. A former feature writer for the Detroit News, his writing has been recognized three times in The Best American Sports Writing series. He appears often on NPR and national television, including ESPN’s 2019 documentary series on college football. He has taught at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and the University of Michigan. A popular public speaker, he lives in Ann Arbor with his wife and son.

Praise For…

“John U. Bacon’s Overtime is a brilliant look into the wild and wonderful world of U.S. college football. While Bacon’s intense focus is on the Michigan Wolverines, his first-rate storytelling transcends Ann Arbor. This is one of the best insider-football books ever written. Highly recommended!”
— DOUGLAS BRINKLEY, Professor of History at Rice University and author of American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race

“John U. Bacon’s writing is essential to anyone who wants to understand how Big Time College Sports works and why it is stuck in our hearts even when it makes us crazy.”
— JOE DRAPE, New York Times sports reporter

“Provide[s] an insider’s look at Michigan’s closely guarded football secrets. ... Overtime—through Bacon’s sleuthing and careful reporting—investigates how college football’s winningest program... is built from the inside out.”
— Forbes

“Buy it. Read it. Appreciate the richness of the reporting, writing, and context.”
— GENE WOJCIECHOWSKI, reporter, ESPN’s College GameDay

“John Bacon is a riveting story-teller on any subject. This book may be about Michigan, but it captures the human, physical and financial challenges of college football nationally. John explores this story—as with everything he does—with enormous heart and enthusiasm. A fun and important read.”
— ROBIN WRIGHT, award-winning author of Rock the Casbah

“Scintillating. … A page-turner. … A must-read. … A pivotal glimpse into … why college football is about so much more than mere wins and losses.”
— WolverinesWire/USA Today Sports

“Bacon’s knowledge and passion for Wolverines’ football is apparent; however, most impressive is the in-depth access he receives to players and coaches. ... A comprehensive look. ... A must-read.”
— Library Journal, STARRED Review

“Profound. … Excellent. ... An unprecedented look at the inner workings of Michigan’s 2018 season. … Overtime delivers.”
— Sporting News

“I’ve read everything John U. Bacon has ever written and I’ve never been bored or disappointed. ... A quick and captivating read—even if your position in Michigan’s football orbit is as an Ohio State fan.”
— Eleven Warriors

“John U. Bacon is simply unmatched at drilling down and capturing the essence of an athletic culture. Turns out he’s also—this is the special sauce of Overtime—the nation’s pre-eminent Harbaughlogist, delivering delightful, telling gems from the life of one of the most intriguing characters in all of sport.”

“Through meticulous reporting and engaging  storytelling, John U. Bacon reveals how Coach Jim Harbaugh defines success in college football. Wins matter, but how you achieve them matters more. Setting high academic standards and playing by the rules are expressions of Harbaugh’s competitive instincts, which come to life in Overtime.”
— BARBARA MCQUADE, Former U.S. Attorney, Legal Analyst, NBC News

“Nobody knows the past and present of Michigan football better than John. His institutional knowledge, dogged reporting, and skillful writing are perfect tools for the task of taking readers inside the Maize & Blue. Overtime is required reading for not only Michigan fans, but all college football fans.’’

“This is a must read. As usual John’s writing skills satisfy more than just the fans of the Maize & Blue. I picked it up and couldn’t put it down!”

“Fans interested in learning more about the crazy amount of work that happens when the cameras aren’t around on Saturdays should check out John U. Bacon’s newest book – another in a long line of thorough and entertaining looks behind the scenes from John U. Bacon.”

“Bacon spent a year embedded in the program, catching stories you wouldn’t believe. ... It’s certainly the deepest Bacon’s ever gone into Michigan football, and the first [book] to really encompass the scale of the institution. The question Bacon’s answering is the one purportedly closest to Harbaugh’s heart: Is football worth it? [This] is where this book really excels.”

Myths about sciatica

Sciatica pain can be difficult to deal with, and the situation can be made a lot worse if you believe one of the common myths out there regarding this condition. With that in mind, read on to discover more about some of the common misconceptions surrounding sciatica that you need to stop believing today.

Myth 1: When treating sciatica, complete bed rest is a must

Taking bed rest for a day or two can be an effective way to deal with the pain you originally experience, but it is not a treatment approach. In fact, the pain will get worse with too much inactivity. To ensure the back muscles are strong and healthy, activity and exercise are essential. Exercise also makes sure that nutrients are exchanged between your spinal discs and the microvessels that are around them. This ensures the health of your spinal discs while stopping further injury from occurring.

Myth 2: All sciatica patients need the same treatment

Even if you have the same symptoms as someone else, this does not mean that you will undergo the same treatment as this individual. This is because the source and cause of the pain often differ from patient to patient. Because of this, treatment will be dictated by the cause of the issue, as well as your response to medicines and your condition.

Myth 3: Sciatica is hereditary

Your family health history does not play a role in this condition. Sciatica can develop for a number of different reasons, but it is not hereditary.

Myth 4: Sciatica is a disease

Last but not least, the term ‘sciatica’ can cause confusion because a lot of people assume that it is a disease. Actually, sciatica is a number of symptoms. Pain is the most common symptom. It is experienced along the course of the nerve, meaning it can be felt from the lower back right down to the foot. Other symptoms include the sensation of pins and needles, as well as a tingling numbness. Because of this, sciatica is a symptom of another disease, rather than being a disease itself. To treat sciatica, the physician will, therefore, need to find the cause of these symptoms.

Hopefully, you now have a better understanding regarding some of the most common myths concerning sciatica today. For effective sciatica pain relief, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us for more information.

Prison sentence handed down to insurance fraudster

COLUMBIA, S.C. – February 22, 2019 – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announces that Arthur Rochester Goodman, 29, of Sumter, South Carolina, entered a plea of guilty on January 17, 2019 on an insurance fraud charge. Goodman pleaded guilty to one count of Presenting a False Claim for Payment $2,000-$10,000 and one count of Presenting a False Claim for Payment Greater than $10,000.

The Honorable Kristi F. Curtis accepted the plea and sentenced Goodman to two years in prison on his charges. Judge Curtis also sentenced Mr. Goodman on a Burglary Third Degree charge. He received a two-year sentence for the Burglary charge, and this sentence runs concurrent with the insurance fraud charges.

“Insurance fraud is a serious crime that raises rates for all of us,” said Attorney General Wilson. “This prison sentence should be a deterrent to anyone who thinks he can get easy money by staging a fake accident. That fraud will be discovered and you will be prosecuted,” said Attorney General Wilson.

The first incident took place on April 5, 2017. There was a motor vehicle collision at Kings Pointe Drive in Sumter County. After the accident, Mr. Goodman was transported by EMS to Palmetto Health Tuomey for his alleged injuries. When he left the hospital, he made an insurance claim to ACCC Insurance by submitting bills and paperwork from Tuomey. This claim was flagged as suspicious.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was brought in to do an investigation. A passenger in the accident admitted to the SLED agent that she was allegedly told by Gregory Vaughn that they planned the accident to get some money. Also, the agent’s review of the documents submitted to ACCC showed that they were not legitimate. One bill had been altered to add an extra CT body scan. A second bill was fabricated altogether. It also had the address that had been used in other fraudulent claims.

The second incident took place on June 19, 2017. Mr. Goodman claimed he was involved in another car accident with an alleged unknown vehicle on Interstate 20 in Sumter. Mr. Goodman alleged to have injuries resulting from the collision and submitted his medicals for payment to USAA Insurance in the amount of over $18,000. The insurance company paid out some money, and the Defendant cashed the checks.

This claim was flagged and investigated by SLED. The SLED agent reviewed the medical bills submitted to the insurance company. His review showed that, while the bill submitted was legitimate, the bill was from a previous date than the time Goodman claimed. Furthermore, SLED’s investigation revealed that the accident was staged.

The Attorney General emphasizes defendants’ presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

The cases were investigated by SLED and prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General LaRone Washington and Savanna Goude.

To report suspected insurance fraud, call the Insurance Fraud Hotline at (888) 95-FRAUD (888-953-7283). Callers can remain anonymous.
