That “stomp on Jesus” episode: Not quite as advertised

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterShare on RedditShare on StumbleUponEmail this to someoneShare on TumblrShare on Google+

Oh, what outrage some of our grievance-collecting friends managed to work up over the story of the Florida Atlantic professor who had asked students to write the name “Jesus” on a slip of paper and step on it. John Hawkins at Right Wing News declared that Prof. Deandra Poole had gotten his “just deserts” in being suspended by the university following days of talk show execration. Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit flatly described Prof. Poole as “far left,” on what evidence is not clear from his post. Fox News Insider informed readers that Poole was “also the vice chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party” — feeding their presumed expectation that a Democratic party official, even an African-American one in a southern city, will turn out when examined closely to be a devotee of Black-Mass-like sacrilege. The Catholic League’s insufferable Bill Donohue suggested that Poole would never have offered students a chance to write the name “Obama” on a slip of paper and step on it.

If you suspected the actual story would prove more complicated than the first reports made it out to be, you’re right. On Monday Poole told his story in an interview with Inside Higher Ed (also summarized at the Moral Compass blog). Sample:

Much of the critical commentary about Poole has suggested that he is anti-Christian. In fact, he said, he has been connected to churches all of his life, has served as a Sunday school teacher, and understands the power of the word “Jesus” on a piece of paper because he cares deeply about Jesus.
“I am very religious,” he said. “I see how the name Jesus is symbolic. For people like myself, Jesus is my lord and savior. It’s how I identify myself as a Christian.”

A few of the sites that had run coverage implicitly or explicitly blasting Poole as a crazy liberal atheist have noted these new details, and sometimes even walked the story back a bit. Others, however, haven’t bothered. Why should they, when they can instead move on to the next outrage to whip their readers up about?

    I’m not sure I buy this. Of course Poole is going to go on and on about how much he loves Jesus, because he is fearing punishment. I simply find it hard to believe that any devout Christian would set up a situation where students would stomp on Jesus’ name, just as a patriotic professor would not have students stomp on an American flag in class just to prove a point.

    Inside Higher Ed is a liberal publication, so of course it supports him. I think that the point that he would not have allowed students to stomp on the name “Obama” was well taken, and if he had, there is no way that Inside Higher Ed would have an article defending him. This is a pretty textbook example of liberal hypocrisy.

    @John: I think I’m with you. When I first read about this incident, I was sceptical- I suspected that the facts might turn out to be unrecognizably different from the stories I’d read. But in this defence, Mr Poole seems to concede the facts and hide behind his church affiliation.

  • Polichinello · April 8, 2013 at 8:32 pm

    The Catholic League’s insufferable Bill Donohue suggested that Poole would never have offered students a chance to write the name “Obama” on a slip of paper and step on it.

    Insufferable or not, he’s right.

AMD's Server Strategy Could Actually Work

| About: Advanced Micro (AMD)

I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Andrew Feldman, founder of SeaMicro which was eventually acquired by AMD (NYSE:AMD). At AMD, Mr. Feldman not only runs the SeaMicro division (which is seeing some real traction, as evidenced by the recent wins at Verizon (NYSE:VZ)), but is also in charge of the company's server processors from low power ARM (NASDAQ:ARMH) based chips to the highest end Opteron parts for 2 socket/4 socket, more traditional "server" applications. While AMD's battle ahead looks tough, I believe that the company has a solid strategy and, more importantly, a management team that is likely to be able to execute on that strategy.

People And Strategy Matter

I am now significantly more positive on AMD's server prospects for two major reasons. The first is simply that Mr. Feldman's vision/strategy is bold but at the same time realistic. He realizes that it's not about taking on the 800 lb gorilla head on in the areas in which that gorilla is very strong, but instead about fighting more concentrated battles in which a smaller - and perhaps more nimble - player can really "win".

On top of this, the strategy itself is actually quite good and plays right into AMD's strengths. So, what are those strengths you may ask? Well, let's take a look at what AMD has had tremendous success at, even as it continues into the later stages of its turnaround, so far.

Server Experience And IP

There's no doubt that AMD has plenty of experience building general purpose server processors. It is among the few shops still operating today, along with Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL), that has server chips in its DNA. Of course, things really haven't been easy for any player aside from Intel, which has gobbled up the vast majority of the market. It's tough to forget, though, that AMD's Opteron once ruled the roost and gave Intel a good whipping back in 2003, particularly as AMD's market share in servers is now about 5%.

That being said, the game has been "reset" so to speak. While it is unlikely that in the near term AMD will make meaningful inroads in the 2S and above space with its current lineup of multi-socket Opterons, the hyper-scale space is still new and, frankly, fair game. Intel is off to an early start in this space with its "Avoton" parts (based on the 22 nanometer "Silvermont" Atom), but with the "Avoton" lead architect now working for Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), and with Qualcomm's (NASDAQ:QCOM) ex-CMO now working on "enterprise related initiatives), it's clear that this space is going to heat up pretty quickly. AMD intends to be a major player here, leveraging what it believes to be key advantages over the nascent ARM players like Cavium Networks (NASDAQ:CAVM) and Applied Micro (NASDAQ:AMCC), as well as even over the behemoth, Intel.

Semi-custom For The Win?

What are those advantages? Well the first, Mr. Feldman points out to me, is that AMD has a very rich heritage of building server chips and has established relationships with key server OEMs and even the "roll-your-own" server guys like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB). But more importantly, Mr. Feldman believes that a key differentiator is that AMD not only has the right IP to build server chips, but the flexibility to develop custom-tailored solutions for the biggest cloud guys.

So, for example, if Facebook needs a chip with a special, perhaps Facebook-designed IP block to accelerate a certain, highly used function (for example, modern networking chips today often sport dedicated packet processing hardware), then AMD could integrate it into an SoC specifically for Facebook. It's the same "semi-custom" playbook that AMD used to win over Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Sony (NYSE:SNE) for the latest game consoles (as well as the other "major" wins that Lisa Su hinted about on the most recent call).

AMD's flexibility is that it can use its own internally developed X86 cores, off-the-shelf ARM cores, and - if the ARM market really blossoms - there's a chance that AMD might do a full custom ARM core. Indeed, Mr. Feldman indicated to me that even a ground-up, custom ARM core (and not an off-the-shelf ARM design) costs significantly less to build than a full custom X86 core, owing to the fact that the ARM instruction set (and in particular the 64-bit subset) is apparently simpler to implement (although a true apples-to-apples comparison of development costs for a custom core with the same features/functionality would be very difficult to quantify given that so many other factors play into this).

The trade-off, of course, is software compatibility. While quite a lot of software enablement has been going on in the ARM ecosystem, X86 still has a software compatibility advantage. For those that "roll their own software", it may be cheaper to move to ARM for some parts of the data-center than for, say, the enterprise market, but it's still a non-trivial cost to recompile and validate software. This means that the ARM guys need to offer a tangible advantage in performance per watt, per dollar (also known as "total cost of ownership") in order for the ARM ecosystem to gain material traction here.

Not Giving Up On X86

Something that has always bugged me about AMD's server roadmap has been the fact that AMD outright replaced its own low power X86 core based products with the ARM-core based products. However, Mr. Feldman was quick to point out that the company absolutely had not given up on its low power X86 chips even in the server space and that further details would be announced at a later time.

So, for example, if the ARM ecosystem fails to gain traction in this space, this would actually position AMD as the only second source for low power micro-server chips. While this hasn't worked out with the "big cores" (sub 5% market share), Intel's low power cores are first and foremost designed for smartphones and scale up from there. So, this suggests that if AMD were to simply target its low power X86 processor cores at a slightly different design point on the performance/watt curve (or performance/mm^2) it could still have something that's pretty competitive if it's willing to make the right trade-offs.

It's Not All Roses, Though

The biggest roadblock here is likely to be, as it generally is for anybody trying to play in servers, Intel. The chip behemoth is feeling the pressure from the hordes of players trying to break into the market, and as a result has responded with a very aggressive roadmap, as shown here:

Click to enlarge

Not only is Intel using its traditional Xeon E3 parts as well as its new Atom based parts to play in micro-servers, it's even building a highly integrated, purpose-built based chip based on its "big" cores. This is likely in a bid to counter what Cavium Networks and Applied Micro are doing with Project Thunder and X-Gene, respectively, as these two have signaled that their cores would be much more along the lines of "big" cores than the smaller Atom/ARM A57 type chips.

That being said, we will have to wait and see how AMD's "Seattle" system-on-chip sells. If AMD can leverage its ownership of SeaMicro to gain a foothold in this space, and if it can offer competitive silicon at decent gross margins (remember, AMD is likely willing to accept lower margins than Intel is), then it could still see a real degree of success - but, of course, it won't be until late 2014 that we'll really know how well AMD will do here.

AMD has truly "cleaned house" and brought in management that seem to really understand the situation that the company is in. There are no guarantees for anybody in this space, but for the first time in a long time, I find myself legitimately excited to see if AMD can succeed in the cloud server market. While its competition is still fierce and the landscape unknown, I do know that I walked away from my conversation with Mr. Feldman very impressed. And, at the very least, that opens the door to situation where "this time it'll be different" really could apply.

Disclosure: I am long AMD, INTC. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Navidea Biopharmaceutical Undervalued Approaching FDA Decision

Back in July, I wrote an article outlining the reasons why I consider Navidea Biopharmaceuticals (NYSEMKT:NAVB) to be a "Diamond In The Rough". Even though Navidea stock had run up approximately 40% over the four weeks before I wrote the article, I still felt that it had plenty more room to run, and fully expected it to reach the $5 to $6 level leading up to it September 10th PDUFA date.

What actually happened was an unexpected pullback, from a high of $4.68 on July 23rd to its most recent close at $3.64. During that time, biotech investors have watched stock after stock get slammed post approval by hedge funds using massive short positions to pile on to post approval profit taking to drive the stock prices right back down. Obesity drugs from Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ARNA) and Vivus, Inc (NASDAQ:VVUS), Amarin Corps's (NASDAQ:AMRN) Vascepa, Horizon Pharma's (NASDAQ:HZNP) Rayos, and Talon Therapeutics (OTC:TLON) Marquibo all received FDA approval, yet all fell sharply immediately following approval, and all have yet to recover to pre approval levels.

While the lack of a continued PDUFA run up is somewhat disappointing, I still feel that Navidea Biopharmaceuticals has a strong foundation in place. Navidea's promising drug pipeline and strong balance sheet make it one of the most attractive speculative investment possibilities in the biotech sector.

The Company

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, based in Dublin, OH, is a small-cap, developmental stage biopharmaceutical company, engaged in the development and commercialization of precision diagnostics and radiopharmaceutical agents. Navidea, formerly known as Neoprobe Corporation, changed its name to Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. on January 05, 2012

The Pipeline

Navidea has four very promising drug candidates at varying stages in their pipeline:

1. Lymphoseek: a lymph node targeting agent intended for use in intraoperative lymphatic mapping. Navidea is partnered with healthcare services giant Cardinal Health to distribute Lymphoseek in the US upon FDA approval. Lymphoseek has an FDA PDUFA date of 9-10-12 (delayed from their original June 10th date by the FDA), and the company is planning to submit Lymphoseek to the European Medicines Agency for review for use in Europe by end of 2012. Navidea has stated that the expected worldwide market for Lymphoseek is $450 million.

2. RIGScan: an investigational, tumor-specific, radio-labeled monoclonal antibody targeting agent. RIGScan has completed clinical studies for the enhanced detection of cancer in Stage IV primary or recurrent colorectal cancer.

3. AZD4694: a precision radiopharmaceutical candidate for use in the imaging and diagnosis of patients with signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease. Navidea has recently received approval for Phase 2 trials for AZD4694, and trial enrollment is expected to begin in the next few months.

4. Altopane: Navidea recently announced a licensing agreement with Alseres Pharmaceuticals (OTCPK:ALSE) for Altopane, or CFT (E-IACFT) injection, an Iodine-1236 radiolabeled imaging agent for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, and a potential use as a diagnostic aid in dementia cases.

Balance Sheet

An investor must view balance sheet strength as a relative thing when investigating developmental stage biotech companies. Biotech companies spend many millions of dollars funding research and development of drug candidates and conducting clinical trials prior to bringing a new drug to market. In addition to partnerships with established pharmaceutical companies, these companies often depend on the sale of stock to raise the cash needed to bring a drug candidate through the FDA approval process. Choosing companies that manage their cash efficiently and avoid dilutive stock offerings is a major factor in deciding which companies to invest in.

Navidea has a strong balance sheet, with $17 million in cash on hand as of June 30th and very little debt. The company also recently announced that it had completed a $50 million credit facility agreement with Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, which Brett Larson, Navidea CFO, discusses in the Q2 results release:

"Access to a non-dilutive, $50 million credit facility demonstrates yet another facet of the financial flexibility we have established to help ensure that our development programs continue to advance and to support potential additional pipeline growth as we approach revenue generation from Lymphoseek."

Given their strong financial position, and assuming FDA approval, it would appear that Navidea is well positioned to begin marketing Lymphoseek while continuing to support development of their pipeline candidates, and to avoid dilutive stock offerings. The possibility of further delay by the FDA is always a concern, but having already had the Lymphoseek PDUFA date delayed once, I view a further delay at this late date as highly unlikely.

Navidea stock has traded between a 52 week low of $2.05 and a 52 week high of $4.77. The company has strong insider (6.6%) and institutional (18.6%) ownership. The short ratio has come down significantly since my last article, from 35.4% on 6-15-12 to 9.2% as of 8-15-12. There are seven Wall Street analysts covering Navidea, with price targets ranging from $5.75 to $9.00, with an average of price target of $7.28. Even the bottom target of $5.75 represents a 37% increase over the current $3.64 price, and assuming Lymphoseek approval and successful marketing, I view this as an easily attainable target.

While the PDUFA run up play may or may not be dead for the moment, Navidea Biopharmaceuticals promising and growing pipeline and their solid financial position continues to make this "diamond in the rough" a compelling long term investment story.

Disclosure: I am long NAVB. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

How Oprah Does It

|Includes:Mattel, Inc. (MAT), UAUA, UL

This commentary originally appeared in Forbes

Last year, Oprah Winfrey earned $275 million--more than those three Wall Street rogues Ken Lewis, Dick Fuld and John Thain combined--yet no one is calling for her head. Her TV show and O, her magazine, remain wildly popular. She moves entire industries. Twitter's traffic surged 43% after she tweeted for the first time. A recommendation from her turns obscure authors and products into best-sellers.

On her way to becoming one of the most influential people in the world, Oprah has helped millions of people feel better about themselves and lead more fulfilling lives. Here are three core business reasons she has become one of the world's richest people.

She truly understands and relates to her core target market.

Oprah genuinely sympathizes with her audience's struggles and aspirations. She does not pretend to have led a fairy-tale celebrity's life; rather she has revealed that she was sexually abused when growing up and has been candid about her battles with her weight. She uses real, shared pain to get closer to her audience. As she conquers her demons, her audience feels they can conquer theirs.

They trust her. She is more than a talk show host. Too many people in charge of brands don't get the importance of understanding and relating to consumers. Companies launch advertising campaigns that consumers can't identify with, even as those consumers, looking to stretch their dollars farther than ever before, yearn to turn to companies they feel they can trust and connect to emotionally.

Skin care company Clarins got it all wrong in targeting Chinese men. It used ethnically diverse metrosexual models they couldn't relate to. The company failed to understand that Chinese men don't want to be seen as at all feminine or exotic. Nor do Chinese women want to see their men that way. Sales sputtered, while L'Oreal's Biotherm line prospered with Asian models who came across as the epitome of masculinity.

Another company that successfully relates to consumers in its marketing is Unilever.. Its Dove Campaign for Real Beauty employs as models everyday women with all sorts of body shapes and sizes, not the airbrushed waifs who grace the covers of fashion magazines like Vogue and Elle. People buy Dove's products because they identify with the familiar yet beautiful women who use the products in the ads. The five-year-old campaign has been one of the most successful of all time.

She knows that making the world a better place and earning money is not a zero-sum game.

Whether inviting experts like Dr. Mehmet Oz to give health care advice or giving suggestions on how to find happiness, Oprah does what she does to make people's lives better. That is true leadership. She clearly is unwilling to do anything for money alone. She takes a moral and long-term perspective--and that way, she makes even more money.

Far too many are driven by simple greed. Too many senior executives have enriched themselves at the expense of front-line workers and shareholders. Too many unscrupulous executives have engaged in financial chicanery like backdating stock options. Not only are Main Street and Congress up in arms, but large institutional investors like the California Public Employees' Retirement System have begun to use corporate responsibility as a key metric in investing. Last year CalPERS publicly called out five corporate underperformers, including Cheesecake Factory and La-Z-Boy, citing corporate governance failures. It is pushing to implement provisions to claw back the compensation of executives who engage in illicit activities.

Corporate boards need to be on alert that misbehavior will hurt their stock prices. CNBC's Jim Cramer publishes his Wall of Shame for disappointing CEOs, like United's Glenn Tilton, who made $17 million over the last five years, and more than $6 million in 2008 alone, while United's share price dropped around 40% and the pay and pension of its front-line workers was slashed.

Nobody thinks of Oprah as greedy.

She understands how to honestly leverage her brand.

With profits falling almost everywhere, businesses need to find new sources of growth. Oprah understands this well. Her work with Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray has resulted in successful spinoffs that hold true to and extend her core value of helping people.

For corporations, leveraging a brand can mean looking to new markets, as GM and Barbie have done in China (as I wrote in "Barbie Goes to China"), or it can mean branching out into new product lines. For instance, Giorgio Armani has expanded the scope of its business to include household accessories. Bulgari and Versace have moved beyond jewelry and clothing, respectively, into high-end hotels. Such expansions make sense, for they are being done so they dovetail with the brands' core emphasis on luxury, sophistication and exclusivity while opening up new streams of revenue.

Oprah has energized an entire industry by staying true to her ideals. She reminds us that business can be done ethically and profitably at the same time. Too many executives over the last few decades have acted immorally, scammed the system or even engaged in outright thievery, like Jeffrey Skilling at Enron. The most successful enterprises--individual and multinational alike--are the ones that create emotional bonds with their customers, stay true to their core and use their brands and ideals to lead.

India Breaking Out?

While the U.S. equity indexes have bounced back towards their recent highs in what I see as a collection of bearish longer term patterns, some emerging markets look like healthier bulls to my eyes. India has been a less-than-stellar performer in recent years. It may be breaking out. It is moving above a multi-year trendline, and may have an inverse head-and-shoulders at its back.

Vials Of Tainted Ebola Blood Samples Stolen In Guinea

Bandits in Guinea stole blood samples of a possible Ebola patient.

National health officials said the crooks held up a vehicle carrying test tubes of blood Wednesday.

The samples were being moved from a hospital to a test site to officially confirm the patient had Ebola.

Health officials are pleading with the thieves to return the potentially dangerous samples.

Love me a good dishcloth.

These must be the cutest dishcloths ever. Or at least, in the top ten on the very cute dishcloth list. Rose and Radish in Hayes Valley carry this gorgeous line of dishcloths from Atelier Lzc, France. France, but of course! Oui!

This Bird Dishcloth, in purple, is my very favorite of the collection. The green, pastel palette is pretty sweet, too. They're so unlike your ordinary old dishcloth; so fresh and modern they almost make you wish for dirty dishes. Or at least someone cute to dry dishes with so you can show them off.

The Peacock dishcloth is inspired by Russian design, with bold, bright colors and repeating patterns of Matriochka dolls, eggs, fish, peacocks and roosters. Who would have thought such a crazy combination of icons would look so great together?

Each towel is hand-made and screen-printed. And nice and big at 20" x 26", so plenty of dishes can be dried with these beauties.

They're all $16, and available Rose and Radish Online, or at their very fun and trendy shop on Gough Street in the ever bustling Hayes Valley, San Francisco.

I love those so much that I've considered purchasing them to use as wall hangings, rather than for their intended purpose. They're far too pretty for my dirty dishes!

Allow me to introduce myself…

Over the years since I decided I wanted to grow up and be a writer, I’ve discovered the job description of a novelist includes a whole slew of things above and beyond and sometimes entirely unrelated to writing novels. This includes, but is not limited to: operating one’s own marketing and publicity machine, establishing one’s “brand” (whatever that means), deciphering technical computery stuff better left to people like my husband, and navigating the often confusing waters of publishing arcana. For other (better?) writers, teams of agents, editors, and etc. accomplish many of these tasks in exchange for a piece of the author’s pie.

Me? I’m something of an anal-retentive, do-it-yourself pie hog, apparently. Not entirely intentionally, but there you have it. I’d love it if someone offered me a check for millions in exchange for a story I’ve written, but in today’s publishing world, that’s less likely to happen than ever. In light of this knowledge, I’m perfectly content to settle for my little niche in the long marketing tail, thank you very much.

And so, dear reader, I have established this little blog-thingy in which to interact with you and sharing my journey to publishing glory (or infamy, as the case may be), should you happen to be interested. Hugs to you for knocking on my door, peeking in, and saying, “Hiya!” Come on in, grab a beverage of your choice, and have a seat.

The first topic I’ve chosen to natter on about, for no real logical reason, is The Author Bio. In the timeframe and location where I was raised, talking about yourself in anything other than deprecating terms was the same thing as bragging. I took the lesson to heart and find the idea of writing a few paragraphs about ME incredibly daunting. But here goes, anyway.

I must first confess that I don’t have any real credentials for being a writer of fiction. Aside from a single college-level composition class, I have no formal training to speak of. But I’ve always loved to write. I’m the weirdo who preferred essay questions to multiple choice, the one who looked forward to term papers, the one who consistently turned in more pages than the minimum required. And I’ve been a life-long voracious reader with eclectic tastes, thereby absorbing amorphous lessons about plot, characterization, pace, and structure across genres.

I never set out to be a writer, but never looked back once the bug hit. I read the Twilight saga – yeah, I’ll admit it – and was far more inspired by Stephanie Meyer’s personal success story of a stay-at-home mom taking advantage of such a creative outlet than I was the prose (not that it was really all that terrible, actually). Purely for reasons of self-actualization, I thought, I could do this. I could tell a story I dreamed about.

Then, building on my obsession with all things Harry Potter, I began writing out my little fantasy happy-ending for a secondary character from those books, George Weasley. Borrowing a fantastical premise and a few established characters from a fully developed world, I began to write. And write. And write. The result, begun in August 2008 and completed (mostly) by that December, was George & Annie: An Unofficial Biography. It was a test, of sorts: did I have the wherewithal to write an entire novel? Could I stick with it through to completion? Would anyone else not think it was awful or stupid?

Happily, the answer to all three questions was yes. Nearly 430,000 words and three fanfiction archives later, George & Annie boasts an estimated 2000 readers from dozens of countries around the world. I’m humbled and eternally grateful for all the encouraging reviews and constructive criticism this project has received. These, above all else, have spurred on my efforts to write original fiction of my own, the first novel of which I hope to make available online by the end of this year.

The rest of the story? Please check out the “About Me” button on the menu above to read an updated mini-biography, then leave a comment and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you!

Until next time,

Hideous Shark Monster Pulled from Sea of Cortez?

File this under "Montauk Monster," and we predict that this single image will soon become the summer shark freak-out image of 2011.

Hat Hip to Peter Thomas Outdoors for the find - actually we kinda wished he didn't find it.

What you are looking at is a "one-eyed bull shark fetus," pulled from a pregnant animal somewhere off La Paz Mexico.

The eye is the freaky part and we might have called "Faux Shark" on this one until word that renown shark scientist Dr.Felipe Galvan had seen, studied, and produced an initial paper on this otherworldly animal.

Dr.Galvan in tandem with Dr.Mauricio Hoyos are the lead shark researchers at Isla Guadalupe studying white sharks with CICIMAR.

Conservation done right. BAD is good!

Today, on Earth Day, as we are getting ready for our Fiji trip, to dive with bull sharks at the Beqa Shark Reef Marine Reserve, we get some news about why we love that place so much. It's not just because they have some of the best shark diving in the world.
5 years ago, DaShark started "Mangroves for Fiji" in order for Beqa Adventure Divers "BAD" (It really means "Bad Ass Divers") and other Fiji businesses to become carbon neutral.

Whether it is their dive operation or their commitment to conservation, everything they do is a cut above. No wonder they describe themselves as a conservation project masquerading as a dive shop. You may remember, that it was also they who were instrumental in creating the first marine national park in Fiji.

Mangroves for Fiji  just released their website, "Mangroves for Fiji" where businesses can sign up to become carbon neutral. You can check out and like their Facebook page.

Projects Abroad, who is planting those mangroves on "BAD's" behalf has some exciting volunteer opportunities for you to help with their shark conservation program. Check here for details. I can tell you from personal experience, volunteering with them is a blast. You couldn't possibly have more fun, doing something for the environment, than working with Projects Abroad in Fiji. I had a blast, trying to tag some bull shark with them last year.

Shark Diver is proud to partner with "BAD" for our bull shark expedition in May. You can also book your shark dive with "BAD" for anytime of the year through us. Call us at 855.987.4275 or email for more info.
I can't wait to travel to Fiji next month and see the progress they have made first hand.

Have a great Earth Day!

Late nights, alcohol and party food…it’s the silly season trifecta that dulls hair, causes our skin to break out and leaves us exhausted. Boost Juice founder, mum-of-four and health living advocate Janine Allis shares her tips for surviving the festivities with your body intact!

1. Do not beat yourself up for over indulging

After all, this is the season for too much food and alcohol. To survive, drink lots of water to avoid dehydration.

2. A juice is a must in the morning

Your liver gets a hammering around this time so include some beetroot and celery to help the liver recover and reduce fluid retention.

3. Keep moving

The sun is out and we have more hours in a day. Take lots of walks to clear your head and give yourself some space.

4. Take time off work

Do not under estimate how unhealthy it is NOT to take your annual leave. Start every year fresh.

5. Squeeze your loved ones every day
Hugs make us live longer and are like giving someone a piece of happiness. And everyone loves them, apart from my teenage son who freezes like an icypole when I hug him – but I’m working on him!

6. Make realistic goals for the New Year
Every year, I have dinner and a bottle of wine with three girlfriends. We write down our goals and place them in the empty bottle to review how we went. It’s great fun and keeps us accountable.

7. See the good in everyone

Especially over Christmas when spending lots of time with family. You may not be able to choose family, but they are an important part of your history. And be especially nice to mother-in-laws. After all, with three boys I’m likely to become one!

8. Celebrate the year that was
Take time to reflect on all that was great and all that you hope will never happen again.

9. Swim in the ocean
It is not possible to be in a bad mood after a refreshing swim, with the minerals washing away any hangover or late night.

10. Our Pocket Rocket is my saviour over Christmas

It is full of omega 3 and dozens of vitamins and minerals, tastes great and is a fantastic way to replace lost nutrients.

What’s your favourite tip from Janine’s list?

TC-L50E60 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic quality for a great price I upgraded from a 37-inch TV to this 50-inch TV. I was expecting that things would get somewhat less crisp and clear since it's a larger TV. However, I was pleasantly shocked at the clarity and good color rendition of this TV. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Date published: 2013-10-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great LED Value This is my first "adult TV" after having graduated college recently and I feel great about the purchase and the value. The design of the TV is excellent, extremely slim with very little bezel or edging, the picture is wonderful, particularly in dark rooms and viewed head-on, and the set-up and connection to my wireless network was almost instantaneous. Extra kudos to the delivery guys from Pilot who brought it inside, unwrapped it, took away the box, and even put the batteries in the remote for me. Again, awesome value and excellent TV. Thanks, Panasonic!
Date published: 2013-10-08
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Better than expected The 50" E60 TV is great for bluray players. Could improve for better clarity when watching a ball game. Overall I'm very please with our new TV.
Date published: 2013-09-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent TV great picture and very fast browsing between screens and multiple function. Sound on the back in not as good as expected, suggest they lower the price of the sound bar or package it together, or give their tv owners a discounted price. because mostly we will need it. another issue is that the browser do not support adobe flash player. not a big deal, you tube looks great and streams very well.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This TV might be the worst TV in the history of TV If you enjoy hating yourself, you'll love this TV. HD viewing has a lot of lag and tracers. And just forget about sports. If there is any fast movement what so ever, it'll be the most glitchy experience of your life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Picture Brilliant picture quality with plenty of detail. Viewing angle is very good with minimal glare. Back speakers actaully offer very good surround sound. I recommend a very good HDMI cable to get the best picture quality. Easy set up...wifi will find your internet connection to guide you through the home screen. I have two Panasonic 50" Plasmas in the home and this TV knocked my socks off. Easy wall installation (very light).

ShyCloud.com's Blog Is Six Months Old!

ShyCloud.com's Weblog is six months old today! We consider its birthday to be April 13, 2004 -- the day we got a Movable Type Personal Publishing System up and running on our server.

I've been having lots of fun creating this Blog, and I especially am enjoying being back in the habit of writing something almost every day, so I suspect I will keep Blogging for quite some time.

This, by the way, is the 132nd article I've written since April 13th, which means I'm on a pace to write 264 over a full year!

My next goal is to add a Photoblog to ShyCloud.com, so I can make my photographs more readily available.

Degradation by Stylo Fantôme ~ New Review and Giveaway

Title: Degradation (Part 1)

Author: Stylo Fantôme

Genre: Dark Erotic Romance

Release Date: July 21 2014

5 mud vein stars

add to gr

Eighteen year old Tatum O'Shea is a naive, shy, little rich girl. Twenty-three year old Jameson Kane is smart, seductive, and richer. They come together for one night, one explosion, one mistake, and Tate is hurled into space – no family, no money, and no Jameson.

Seven years later, life is going pretty good for Tate, when she runs into Jameson again. This time, she thinks she's ready for him. She doesn't have a naive bone left in her body, and she can't even remember what shy feels like. Jameson has evolved into Satan – sharp teeth, sharper claws, and a tongue that can cut her in half. It all sounds like fun to a girl like Tate, and she is ready to play, determined to prove that she isn't the same girl he conquered once before. A series of games start, each one more devious than the last.

But the devil likes to play dirty, and she learns that playing for souls is playing for keeps. The lines between games and reality, heaven and hell, get blurry. Can she beat Jameson at his own game before someone gets hurt? Or will he leave her soulless, making him the winner, once and for all?

WARNING: contains a wannabe B-rate porn star, an impersonal personal assistant, and the F-word, A LOT. Also graphic sexual situations and sadomasochistic themes.

Becs’ Review

Degradation is part one of Jamieson Kane and Tatum O’Shea’s story.  It doesn’t end here and will continue in Separation which releases on September 22nd.

degradation casting

Well, Holy Crap!!  I absolutely love it when this happens.  I wasn’t asked to review Degradation and just happened to notice it as a new release and just something about the blurb called to me and I bought it from Amazon and absolutely, totally freaking loved it!!  I really think this is possibly THE most exciting debut I’ve read in 2014 and I came across it by chance.  Now, I’m recommending it to all of you out there who enjoy a dark and edgy romance, one which will push your boundaries and keep you glued to the page.  I know there’s a lot of you out there and I’m highly recommending it to all you dark romance junkies.

I have to say that Tate really doesn’t get off to the most auspicious start in Degradation.  She’s a good girl, about to go to Harvard, is pretty much everything her parents expect her to be and is moving to Boston where her older sister, Ellie (AKA OCD Barbie), lives.  Ellie isn’t home but her boyfriend, the really rather dangerous Jameson Kane (AKA Satan) is and after spilling her champagne all down her shirt, he takes advantages and things escalate and he ends up giving her the ride of her life but, of course, she’s just fucked her oh so perfect sister’s boyfriend.  Ooops!

This is a pivotal moment in Tate’s life – everything changes for her.  Go forward 7 years – she’s never seen Jameson Kane again, she didn’t go to Harvard, her family disowned her and labelled her a whore and Tatum O’Shea is a very different creature.  Seems James’s rough treatment of her has awakened a sleeping and sexually aggressive tigress that was lurking beneath the surface of the cute but ultimately innocent little kitten, a side of her she didn’t know was even there. Now she’s living on the seamier side of Boston in a low-rent apartment, has several temping jobs, is barely making ends meet, is going from one casual sexual relationship to the next but she is happy.  She has good friends and, now removed from the expectations of her oh-so middle class family, she is finally able to be herself and has undergone a sexual revolution and is completely at one with herself and her sexuality.

tate collage deg

She didn’t expect to bump into Jameson Kane but a temp job brings her back into his cross hairs and he finds he can’t keep his eyes off this tigress that he created.  He’s never forgotten that night and definitely wants a repeat performance but Tate has grown up and changed so much and she’s  his sexual equal now but he has to work hard to get her to agree to spend some time with him.  After a couple of scenes of temptation and sexual one-up-manship,  Jameson tries to coerce her into an agreement – he tries to employ her but she’s wise to his games and eventually they agree that she will quit all bar one temp job and spend time with him for an agreed sum of money, essentially making her his whore.  This sounds bad, I know, but both Jameson and Tate have pretty dark sexual proclivities – he likes to treat her really mean and, of course, degrade her a little and she totally gets off on it.  Nobody has pushed her boundaries quite like he can and no one has ever felt so good to him as Tate does and they enter into THE most delicious, dark and totally captivating relationship.

Let The Games Begin!

James Kane is really quite a bastard – he’s arrogant, sadistic, deviant, domineering, demanding and cruel.  God, I LOVED him!  The devil may not be wearing Prada but he sure is wearing a designer suit and walking around in the guise of a Fortune 500 stockbroker and this man is as dark as Lucifer himself.  He tells Tate that he will never love her, doesn’t even like her very much, he only wants to fuck her and will do it until he tires of her and then he will dump her.  And she loves it!

“Let's get something straight about this power situation, Tate. I fuck you when I want, where I want, how I want. You come when I call. If I want to see my ex girlfriend, or any ex girlfriend, I will. I'm with you right now, this moment. That's all you get from me,” he told her.

jameson kane

I actually came to adore Tate, despite her not so stellar beginning in the story – she did after all sleep with her sister’s boyfriend and is sexually aggressive and promiscuous but I really grew to love her.  Under all the war paint, the tiny shorts, the sexual bravado and cutting edge sass still lurks a girl that needs affection.  She’s just got a lot better at hiding it over the years.

“Good girl Tate falls for Satan, who would've thought,” he teased. She rolled her eyes.

“I'm not a good girl,” she pointed out.

“Yes, you are. You've just gotten very good at hiding it,” he replied.

This is all out dark and edgy, pushing boundaries – a bold and brave debut novel from an author who is not afraid to push things just that little bit further.  It’s darkly erotic as we go from scene to scene of rough sex with these two as they satisfy a carnal hunger like no other.  Jameson Kane really is a complete bastard to Tate but she completely gets off on it – loving the way he objectifies her and pushes her to dizzying sexual heights she never before thought possible.  This is a text conversation between the two of them……

“Yes, my liege?”

“Shut up.”

“How can I answer you and -,”

Why do you let me treat you the way I do?”

“I told you, I like it.”

“I would kill another man for talking to you the way I talk to you.”

“That's very sweet.”

“Do you think there's something wrong with me, treating you the way I do?”

“Not necessarily. It's consensual. Empowering.”

“Yes. You have the power to hold me down, say things, call me names. Slut. Bitch. But I have the power to say stop. End it all. Your power is an illusion. Mine is real.”

These two are like two predators slowly stalking around each other, both of them trying to be a little more alpha than the other and, despite the dark sexual edge to the story, it even has a bit of a Pretty Woman/Cinderella kind of vibe going on – only with biting, slapping, cheating and really rough sex.  But, of course, there is no Prince Charming or Cinderella here – just Lucifer and his succubus, both sexually aggressive and the perfect match for one another even if neither of them is prepared to admit it.

“You have ruined me, Tatum O'Shea,” he told her. “Completely wrecked me.”

A big shout out must go to the secondary characters in this novel, most especially Ang and Sanders.  Ang is Tate’s best friend and fuck-buddy and he’s a wannabe B rate porn star.  They have the most incredible relationship indulging in sex like most friends just go watch a movie together but Jameson and Kane will be develop a strong dislike for one another as jealousy rears its ugly head.  Sanders, is Jamesons’s PA, staunch ally and supporter – he’s very zipped up and detached and emotionally unavailable and more than a little bit of an enigma but Tate manages to chip away at that icy armour and they become friends, much to the surprise of Jameson.

degradation quote

This was just such a fabulous debut novel from Stylo Fantôme – her style is witty, dry, challenging and incredibly captivating.  Once I could retreat away from the world with this book, I completely devoured it becoming more and more entranced as the novel edged towards it’s conclusion and we are left with the intolerable yet exquisite cruelty of a humdinger of a cliffhanger as just about everything hangs in the balance.  Roll on September 22nd and the release of the sequel.   I can’t wait – this was such a special find for me, something new and exciting and I think this has the potential to be really BIG!

It’s a brave new world out there and today it belongs to Stylo Fantôme.

5 dark and degrading stars.

“Of course I want more. I am a girl, you're right. I want Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse, and carry me off to his castle. The only difference between me and other girls is once I get there, I want him to bend me over the throne and pull my hair while he fucks me hard and calls me names. But I know that'll never happen with you. I'm not sure I'd even want it to be you – you are the devil,” Tate agreed with him. Jameson laughed.

“Prince Charming could never treat you as good as the devil,” he teased. She shrugged.

“Maybe not. But maybe so. What'll happen to you, if I'm ever so blessed to find this magical S&M Prince Charming?” she asked. He looked at the ceiling. He didn't want to think about that moment.

“Go back to hell. Find another succubus,” Jameson replied.

“Whoever she is, I hope she's as good as me,” she whispered.

“No will ever be as good as you, Tatum.”

Normally, an author will chose which excerpt they’d like you to share on a blog but I had a scene in mind that I really wanted to share with you all and here it is, with kind permission from Stylo Fantôme!

“I think he likes you,” he mumbled. Tate shrugged.

“Most people do. I'm pretty fuckin' awesome,” she told him. He burst out laughing and walked over to her, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her to her feet.

“Yes, but usually, Sanders doesn't like anybody,” Jameson laughed, pulling the scissors out of her hand and tugging her away from the sea of newspapers.

“But I wasn't done. What are you doing?” she asked.

“Oh, you're done. Time for good girls to go upstairs and show me how bad they can be,” Jameson told her.

“I don't think there's very much that's good about me anymore,” she laughed, following him out of the room.

“I think you have no idea what bad really is – you almost have too much good,” he replied.

“I don't think -,”

“Stop arguing, or I'll make you crawl up the stairs.”

Tate was silent for about two seconds, and then turned in to a prosecuting attorney, arguing all the points on how she couldn't possibly be good. Jameson stopped moving, smiling at her back as she started up the stairs. Then he reached forward and grabbed her ankle, pulling her leg out from underneath her. She went to her knees, hands flying out to catch herself.

“Shit!” she cursed. He moved a few steps ahead of her, then squatted down and fisted his hand in her hair.

“Why are you always set on defying me, baby girl?” he asked, his voice low as he pulled her hair, forcing her head up towards his own. She looked up at him, a smile playing on the edge of her lips.

“Because it's always so much fun.”

“You are such a mindfuck, Tate. Something is wrong with you, that you want to be treated like this, that you like being a whore,” he hissed at her. She chuckled low in her throat.

“Hmmm, but really, what does all that say about you? That you want to treat someone like this? That you want to be with a whore?” she replied.

“I've made peace with my desires.”

“Like you said, we're the same animal. You had a bad weekend. Let's go upstairs, and you can take it out on me,” she whispered. He tugged harder on her hair and she raised up onto her knees.

“Sounds like that works out more in your favor, than mine,” he pointed out. She laughed, reaching out to scratch her nails down his arm.

“Baby, all I do is give you favors. You should feel blessed, to have such an accomodating whore,” she purred. He snorted and shoved her forward, forcing her back onto her hands.

“Burdened is more like it. Now fucking crawl.”

And she did, all the way to his bedroom.

stylo fantomeCrazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.
