Get Thyself to Rosaline's
Every time I visit Coolidge Corner I let out a sigh of appreciation for the variety of shops, restaurants, amenities, and T access (even if it is that pokey green line) that truly makes it one of Boston's ideal car-free neighborhoods. And now I've discovered another reason to frequent Coolidge Corner – Rosaline's Skin Care & Spa. Read on to learn more about Rosaline's services (which include expertise in treating the skin of women of color), and enjoy a special offer for Boston Mamas readers.
So here's the thing. While certain personal care products may be applied universally (e.g., toothpaste, nail polish), when it comes to skin and hair care, race and ethnicity matter. If you don't believe me, ask the poor Great Cuts newbie (back during my college days) who wasn't trained on how to handle Asian hair and thus was so terrified about making a mistake with my super straight, thick mane that she literally took almost two hours to do a simple trim. I can't remember what I tipped her, but surely it wasn't enough.
But back to skin care. I recently visited Grenada-born esthetican Rosaline Lowe after learning that her spa not only offers wonderful treatment in general (the gamut of facials – including organic – plus massage, spa therapy treatments, and waxing), but that Rosaline specializes in treating women of color. Because the truth is, there is palpable comfort that comes from being treated by someone who understands (and lives the fact) that diverse skin has diverse needs. Though she looks remarkably young for someone who honed her skills for 5 years on Newbury Street before running her own business for almost 25 years (genetics probably, plus a testament to her craft...), Rosaline brings utter calm, confidence, and skill to her work; I felt completely safe in her hands.
When I booked my appointment, I didn't ask for a specific treatment; instead asking that Rosaline assess my skin when I got there. Rosaline said my skin actually looked pretty good; a bit dry and a surprising number of freckles for an Asian, but otherwise smooth and generally problem-free. At my request, she first waxed my brows to perfection; creating lovely, flattering, tapered arches that – strangely enough – other estheticans have told me aren't possible with my facial structure (perhaps this was fear due to inexperience), then proceeded with a basic hydrating facial that was nourishing and literally left me glowing.
If I hadn't been so curious to talk to Rosaline about her work, I would have fallen asleep it was so relaxing (the neck massage part was particularly awesome). Rosaline is smart, passionate about what she does, and despite her tenure in the business, she's motivated to keep learning about new techniques, skin needs, and products. Rosaline even is willing to share some of her knowledge (learning seminars at her spa are forthcoming) because she wants to help women learn how to take care of themselves and make self care a priority.
Though trust me, you will want to get on her table. And mama, you deserve it.
AWESOME DEAL! Rosaline kindly is offering a discount to Boston Mamas readers. Simply mention Boston Mamas when you book your appointment to receive a 10% discount on any service. Enjoy!
Rosaline's Skin Care & Spa, 1426 Beacon Street, Brookline; 617-739-2392

Prosthetics are artificial wounds made from FX wax with added fake blood to make them look really effective.
Bullet wounds; scratches; bruises; open wounds are just some of the things which can be done very quickly and involve no pain!
They really are fantastic and both kids and adults love them, especially around that all important time 'Halloween'.
You dont have to wait for that time of year though, why not have a themed evening with lots of blood and gore, you'll love it.

Most buyers will notice a variety of fuel injector cleaners present in most automotive stores; this might pose a challenge to the buyer on what specific brand the buyer should acquire for their car. Most gasoline companies have gone ahead to promote their specific brands by arguing that the gasoline's have detergents that keep the car running like new, this might have the car owner on conflicting thoughts because after a period of time the car will seem to lose power and the fuel mileage will seem to drop in time after covering a few thousand miles of driving.
Carbon deposits on the fuel system
As much as the gasoline might have detergents in it, they still cause corrosion from ethanol leaving carbon deposits in the cars fuel system, around the fuel injectors and on the back of the intake valves. This might result in combustion problems due to improper fuel mixtures entering the combustion chamber. Fuel injector cleaners come in handy for regular maintenance on new generation engines, the cleaners efficiently clean the fuel system by removing the carbon deposits.
The deposits form on vital parts of the fuel system such as the intake ports, tops of the piston and cylinder heads causing a variety of issues such as hesitation, stalling, knocking, pinging, loss of acceleration and reduced fuel economy. The parts that are most affected are the fuel injectors and intake valves.
Effect of the deposits to the fuel economy
The fuel injectors have very fine tolerances in the pintles that allow for fuel to disperse from the injector, they deliver an atomized spray of fuel that when mixed with the proper air mixture it detonates in the combustion chamber. The pintles get dirty over time and the spray pattern becomes irregular causing the spray to turn into droplets that are hard to combust. This immensely affects vehicle power and the fuel economy.
The intake valves and the ports are also susceptible to deposits the deposits act like a sponge and reduce the amount of fuel that enters the combustion chamber. The carbon from the unburnt fuel build up on the back of the intake valves preventing proper fuel mixture that is to enter the combustion chamber resulting in overall decrease in performance.
How frequent should the fuel cleaners be used
The fuel cleaner should be used on a regular basis. The intake valves should be free from deposits for efficient vehicle performance. After a few drives the components will need to be restored to the original specs, this will call for regular cleaning to enhance their performance. The additives contain detergents that regularly clean the components ,although the formulations might differ in quality and quantity it is advisable to use a fuel cleaner that is most convenient and stable to keep the gas from oxidizing in the tank during extended periods of sittings.
The car owner should strive to purchase top of the shelf cleaners that are strong enough to clean up deposits on a port fuel injector. If a cheap fuel additive is bought it most likely won't clean up the fuel injector as good as it should. On the other hand if the car owner purchases a high quality fuel system cleaner it will clean up the deposits in the entire fuel delivery system.
Benefits of using the fuel injector cleaners
Car owners will realize a lot of benefits on using the fuel injector cleaners. Some of the benefits include.
- Increased mileage – The cars mileage will increase after the fuel system is cleaned because the engines operations will be more efficient. In long distance drives the car owner will notice an increased mpg.
- Increased acceleration – The car will also accelerate faster after the cleanup, the fuel system will be of good performance in turn improving the cars acceleration.
- Using the fuel injector cleaners is cost cutting – Unlike the regular check in to the automotive mechanics for regular clean ups the fuel cleaners are cost friendly and time saving.
The car owner should consider buying the fuel injector cleaners as it will definitely improve the cars all round performance and also save a great deal of money in repairs and maintenance.

Why use a buyer's agent like Hank & Greg Frey?
A real estate buyer's representative represents the buyer who is purchasing property in a real estate transaction. Research by the National Association of REALTORS has shown that when a buyer's representative is used, the prospective buyer found a home one week faster and examined three more properties than consumers who did not use a buyer's representative.
The buyer's representative works for, and owes fiduciary responsibilities to, the real estate buyer and has buyer's best interests in mind throughout the entire real estate process. A buyer's representative will:
Evaluate the specific needs and wants of the buyer and locate properties that fit those specifications.
Assist the buyer in determining the amount that they can afford (pre-qualify), and show properties in that price range and locale.
Assist in viewing properties -- accompany the buyer on the showings, or preview the properties on behalf of the buyer to insure that the identified specifications are met.
Research the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help the buyer make an informed decision prior to making an offer to purchase the property.
Advise the buyer on structuring an appropriate offer to purchase the selected property.
Present the offer to the seller's agent and the seller on the buyer's behalf.
Negotiate on behalf of the buyer to help obtain the identified property -- keeping the buyer's best interests in mind.
Assist in securing appropriate financing for the selected property.
Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (e.g. movers, attorneys, carpenters, etc.) if these services are needed.
Most importantly, fully-represent the buyer throughout the real estate transaction.

Go to your settings and then "preferences" you'll find a list box ('I always want to use these settings to play') this allows you to choose 'no random' as default setting

Thanks for this.
Although game is still stupid.
I play on elo room which defines.
Room option(s):
No random, the highest attack always wins.
You can participate in the daily tournaments.
And seriously new players dont bother looking the settings.
I got lvl 30 to rage on forums and learn about it.
At least they should change the default setting to no random.

Many people dream of the day they get married. This is why it is so important to properly plan out your big day.
The wedding dress may be a major expense. When you shop for a dress, try dresses that aren't categorized as wedding dresses. You could get a bridesmaid's dress, and it would be just a fraction of the cost. You can also make additions and changes to these dresses to make them more wedding appropriate and still come out ahead financially.
Once you have decided on who is to make the speeches on your big day, plan to have a speech rehearsal. This way, you are aware of what your chosen speakers intend to say and also sure any comments stay appropriate to the event. Many generations and people of differing viewpoints will attend your wedding, so your speech makers need to make their speeches geared to everyone and not just play to their own friends.
Your wedding photos are of the utmost important, since you will view them forever. It pays to spend the extra cash to hire a wedding photographer in order to reduce the chance of some amateur screwing up your wedding photos.
Do not avoid eating just so your wedding dress will fit. All you are going to do is tire very easily and not have the energy to enjoy the big day you have been torturing yourself to plan. You don't want to faint as you're saying your I do's! Purchase a dress that will hug your curves and fit you well the way you are.
Flowers look beautiful as centerpieces on the dinner tables, but don't overdo it. The majority of the times, the flowers just get in the way. You also might want to take into consideration that some guests may be allergic to the pollen in the flowers. Because of this, you should think about putting candles that are non-scented onto the table in order to achieve a more romantic look.
Practice your walk for the aisle when you're standing by a mirror so that you can be sure of how to walk right, especially when you want to wear heels. If you have difficulty walking in heels, opt for a pair of ballerina flats. Comfortable footwear is a wonderful trade off to protect you from falling.
It might be a friend or a family member. All that's needed is someone who can happily carry your gear during the ceremony and photo sessions. They can also help round up family members for group portraits.
A great gift for your guests at a destination wedding is a basket that you have delivered to their room full of vacation goodies. Put items in these baskets that they can use on their trip. These can be maps, disposable cameras, a pair of sunglasses, a hat and also a pamphlet detailing where it would be fun to visit. You can also put in a guide to restaurants that are local.
Midday is the best time to have wedding receptions. Doing this, people will likely drink far less alcohol and keep your bar tab lighter. Also, lunch receptions will typically be cheaper than dinner receptions and allow you to either increase the quality of food or allocate the rest of your food and alcohol budget to another need for the wedding.
When making wedding dinner seating arrangements, be sure to have even numbers of people at each table. Grouping your tables according to age is one way to seat people with others that they will have things in common with.
If you are looking for some local assistance for your wedding, have a look on Craigslist. Always have a face-to-face meeting with anyone you hire off of Craigslist prior to giving them any cash.
If you're giving your guests multiple meal courses, give them sweets to nibble on in between the courses. Think about sugar roses that enhance your wedding colors.
Consider borrowing a special piece of jewelry from a friend or family member. This "something borrowed" will enhance the way you look and feel and add a special touch to the day.
Many centerpieces are expensive; in addition, the wrong centerpieces will detract from the beauty of your wedding reception instead of adding to it. Instead of going all out and putting an elaborate centerpiece at each table, keep them small. This way, your guests are able to talk among themselves a lot easier, without having to try to do so through foliage.
If you are not serving dinner during your reception, try getting casual seating instead of renting tables. Items such as chaise lounges, or lounge chairs can help your guests to interact more easily. Comfortable and inviting chairs allow your guests to feel welcome and relaxed, which creates a nice atmosphere at your wedding.
If you are planning a wedding outside, always make sure that you have a 'plan b' in case mother nature does not cooperate. You could for instance rent some tents, or choose a venue with a park and a hall. You should put some nice wooden boards in the ground so the guests do not have the chance of getting muddy.
Hire a professional photographer who will capture memories for you. Ask a photographer for thoughts on your big day when interviewing them. Ask the photographer detailed questions about their work process and what a typical wedding is like for them to work. You must know their process and how it impacts what you want for your wedding.
It is important for you to know what your bridesmaids will be wearing to your wedding. Many friendships end over a disagreement about the bridesmaids' gowns. Choose something that is affordable, matches your whole wedding theme and is sure to be a hit with all of your bridesmaids. This can help you have a wedding without hurting someone's feelings.
Planning your wedding doesn't have to be overwhelming. By utilizing the information in the article listed above, you can plan and pay for your dream wedding. You may even enjoy the planning process quite a lot!

"Good hunting." Seems like the proper thing to say.
I wonder, can Theta get a few stings in and defeat our spiders?
Theta and Ammianthium are evenly matched. However, Cleome will always help her mother to subdue Theta. Which means it's only a short matter of time before they are both working him senseless!
FYI: Gentalon- The new story arc starts out with Theta and Damiana getting caught by Ammianthium and Cleome, but winds up in Helianthus's Arena! (Thought you might like to know.)
I just checked the comic's stats- ALMOST 2000! WOW!! (OK, which one of you characters have been stuffing the ballot box??) Just kidding. Well, I'll leave the comic up then and see what happens. Thank you guys so much! Ed. -
It's now in Belfry's top 100 Science Fiction webcomics. Of course "your investment may go down as well as up", but it's encouraging at any rate. Maybe somebody's finally noticed all the nudity! :-P

|Hypertension update and cardiovascular risk reduction in physically active individuals and athletes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20424397 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Hypertension is a prevalent disease worldwide. Its inadequate treatment leads to major cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. These conditions decrease life expectancy and are a substantial cost burden to health care systems. Physically active individuals and professional athletes are not risk free for developing this condition. Although the percentage of persons affected is substantially lower than the general population, these individuals still need to be thoroughly evaluated and blood pressure targets monitored to allow safe competitive sports participation. Regarding treatment, lifestyle modification measures should be routinely emphasized to athletes and active individuals with the same importance as for the general population. Medication treatment can be complicated because of restrictions by athletic organizations and possible limitations on maximal exercise performance. In addition, the choice of an antihypertensive drug should be made with consideration for salt and water losses that routinely occur in athletes, as well as preservation of exercise performance and endothelial function. First-line therapies for athletes and physically active individuals may be different from the general population. Some authorities believe that blocking the renin-angiotensin system with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) is more beneficial compared with diuretics because of ACE inhibitors and ARBs being able to avoid salt and water losses. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are another reasonable choice. Despite effects on heart rate, nondihydropyridine CCBs do not appear to impair exercise performance. beta-Blockers are not used as a first-line therapy in athletes because of effects on exercise and prohibition by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and World Anti-Doping Agency in certain sports. In this article, we address the evidence on hypertension and its related treatments in active individuals to provide recommendations that allow the best competitive sports results and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Last week, Beru and Jessie got married and went to Takemizu Village for their honeymoon, Smaug and Demi got married and skipped going on a honeymoon, and seven babies were born.
A look at the little darlings while they're sleeping. I handle chaos way too well; before everyone went all "I'll take care of the baby!" I decided to have everyone take shifts. Normally, I was playing this legacy like a semi-ISBI, where I wasn't really paying attention to any of the non-ruling generation sims and letting them do their own thing. Now, I pretty much cancelled any action that had to deal with babies for the sims off-duty unless it was totally needed, like when more than one of them needed to have their diapers changed at the same time.
Except Juan doesn't do diapers, even when he's on duty.
Thankfully, Jane is a good grandma.
Jane: I deal with smelly underlings all the time. Diapers don't even compare.
A look at what the great-grandparents do during their off time.
Author: Hey, give us a break, we're not as young as we used to be.
Me: Not complaining. You're still the best dad/grandpa/great grandpa ever.
Trista: What am I? Chopped liver? Hrumph. *goes back to sleep*
Though sometimes, the carefully organized plan does have the occasional hiccough and there is the occasional traffic jam in front of the fridge.
Author: So many babies...
Me: I know, I know. And everyone's triplet/quad chance ratio is way down. I guess the Novels are just super fertile or something.
Beru: *ninja!bamf* I heard babies crying!
I really wish that I had taught all my sims how to teleport, it saves a lot of time running through the house to get to the nursery.
Not only is Beru being awesome with the kids, but she wins at her job. I'm thinking she's going to ask the band that she's a roadie for if they want to join the Hubbub Revolutionists, but maybe she's just trying to feel out the competition instead. Either way, she did get a song written in her honor!
Beru, Beru
What would we do
Saving the speakers
From fallin on our sneakers
Beru, Beru
This song's for you
Eh, so I'm not a songwriter. Moving on.
Hatsumomo: I NEED SLEEP! *cries*
Author: I think this one's tired!
Guess reading those parenting books back when Jane was a baby really paid off, didn't it?
Beru: What do you want, child? WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
Guess who hasn't cracked open a parenting book in her entire life. And you were rolling with all the win up until then.
The parental fail continues.
Jessie: I don't want to talk to my mother-in-law! Help!
Demi: Stupid stereo set, why won't it let me sleep?
Jane: Ack, my children-in-laws are idiots.
Ken: SOMEONE HOLD ME, DAMN IT!
The boy screams for no reason. He's not hungry, he's not dirty or needing a diaper change, and he's been held. As soon as someone puts him back in his crib, he starts screaming at the top of his lungs and wakes all the other babies in the nursery up. Kid has attachment issues.
Yay, finally! These were the longest infancies I've ever had.
Family shot, minus the babies. Guess there were just too many of them for one load page.
Me: Jane? What's wrong? You're usually so happy to go to work! Is everything okay, Jessie?
Jane: My grandbabies are growing up today! I'm going to have to miss the party!
Jessie: Yeah, my kids aren't babies any more and I have to go to work!
Jane: I guess I'll just have to kill more superheroes than usual to try to cheer myself up, but it's not going to be the same. *sigh*
Me: Don't worry, I won't age them up until you get back. I promise.
Yeah? Well, who asked your opinion, Guy Jessie Brought Home From Work?
Guy is totally inappropriate.
GJBHFW: Wow, my co-worker's wife is smokin!
Nobu: Are you checking out my Aunt Beru? Can we pay attention to me now, please?
And in birth order:
Ichiro. He has Jessie's eyes and Beru's hair color.
Ken. Again, Jessie's eyes and Beru's hair.
Awajiumi. Another Jessie/Beru combo.
Chiyo. Yet another Jessie/Beru combination. She favors Jessie the most in facial features, IMO.
Hatsumomo. We fixed the bald issue later on, but she has Demi's hair and eye color (or Demi's hair and Smaug's eye color, seeing as they're the same.)
Jakob. Demi's hair and Smaug's eyes. He has his mother's square jaw.
And finally, Nobu. He has Smaug's hair and Trista's eyes. Aww, genetics at work! This kid's a front runner for heir, just for the passed on eye color alone. If he would have had freckles, he would have been a shoe-in. We'll see what happens later in college though before having a final say.
Jane: Say Evil Overlord!
Chiyo: G'Ma!
Jane: Meh, that'll do for now, Underling.
Trista: Say Great Grandma!
Awaji: Evil Overlord!
Trista: Awww, isn't he the sweetest! Just don't let your grandma hear you call me that, okay?
[/toddler training spam. FYI, Author just won Great-Grandparent of the Year.
Though Jane is in the running for Grandma of the Year.
Jane: Just quoting the Evil Overlord List.
Me: Which one is that?
Jane: Number 142. "If I have children and subsequently grandchildren, I will keep my three-year-old granddaughter near me at all times. When the hero enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to her why it is necessary to kill her beloved grandpa. When the hero launches into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles. After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids."
And Jane took up a hobby.
Jane: Grow little plant. Grow by leaps and bounds! I shall name you Audrey III. And you shall crush good-doers everywhere! Muahahahaha!
Me: Hon, that's a tomato plant.
Jane: Not a man-eating plant?
Me: I refuse to buy a cowplant. Ever.
Jane: Curses!
Hair blowing back dramatically in the breeze, Jessie obtains Permaplat status.
Jessie: Sweet! Now I can catch up to Beru and we can be Rock Gods together!
Several promotions later, and Jessie has indeed caught up with his beloved.
Beru: WTF is this? Snow? I hate snow.
Bask in victory indeed. Smaug's LTW complete!
Smaug: Yay, I'm on cable TV! Listen to my show hook: How to cook healthy, organic meals in thirty minutes!
Me: Isn't that like Thirty Minute Meals and Emeril Green?
Smaug: Yes, but I've combined show ideas! It's gonna be fantastic!
Why hello there, Jamie!Muse ♥
Jamie!Muse: That guy that hit on my Writer used to live in that house...
Huh, so it seems like Jamie!Sim is still holding a grudge against Darcy for the Date of Epic Fail he and my Self!Sim went on while Jamie!Muse was present.
Me: Hey, Boots! Whatcha doin?
Boots the Cat: Nothing much. Just wandering around, walking the human. They need their exercise, you know.

Change came quietly, a blanket softly, quietly dropped, left over the back of a family room chair. Not just any blanket – the blue cotton blanket.
Thread for seams, batting and design had worn out long ago, leaving gaps, feeling thin, worn- 33 years of faithful comfort, set down quietly.
Not realizing, I reminded the boy who'd become a man to take it to his room.
"It's worn out," he answered. We both agreed it probably couldn't be fixed – the material was too thin. New thread would just tear the old material.
Later, the blanket still over the chair, the littlest, he came by. He ran his fingers along it, thinking about snatching it up. Even he realized the blue cotton blanket was too worn to pick up.
I wasn't quite ready to think about the blanket really leaving.
I texted the oldest son, who had given me his fine new snoopy blanket in exchange for this blue blanket across the foot of my bed so long ago, the blanket he'd dropped softly, quietly in a closet 6 months before he married,"Remember the blue blanket? Before I pack it up and send it away, do you want to come by and see it?"
He texted back, "Nope. I'm fine. Thanks."
Change comes quietly, as softly as a blanket dropped
like bones growing tall and feet filling out their daddy's shoes
a heart falling in love
a soul conceived
the way a word from God one day becomes alive in our Soul
God's plans might grow into something loud, sure-footed and bold, overflowing faith, hope and love – but, more often than not, the changes in those plans start from something simple, unassuming
as quiet as a blanket dropped
I miss the real-time story of the journey of the blue cotton blanket – and the relationships in that journey. It's not the end, though – of the relationship journey. It's a beginning . . . of a new growth spurt, a new leg of this journey He designed for me, for that boy who just quietly brought the blue cotton blanket upstairs . . . and set it down.
Change came quietly. At first, I was dismayed I had lost something. I don't know what this change will exactly be, but I know God is good all the time. I know that if He is the architect of the change, this change that has come will grow into something that fills my heart and the hearts of each son better than anything I can imagine.
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland" (Isaiah 43:19).
The blue cotton blanket? I folded it, placed it in a brown shopping bag – and a friend carried it home with her to do with as she saw fit. God gives us friends who help us with the hard things.
Just as God is in the still small voice, so is He in a change that starts as quietly, as softly as a blue cotton blanket dropped.

It's bright that bots are accepting a moment. Even afore Facebook's Bots for Messenger advertisement at their developer conference, there had already been a flood of investments, controversies, and critiques. So I capital to apprentice how to accomplish my own bot—and put it to work!
On the one hand, babble bots are annihilation new. They've been about aback the 1960's and the canicule of ELIZA. But aback the accoutrement to actualize meaningful, alone conversations are accessible abundant to arrange at scale. We acquire APIs, the adeptness to continuously adviser and anatomize letters for relevance, and astronomic messaging platforms for distribution—which is area bodies are spending the majority of time these days.
To get a faculty for the bot apple I absitively to try my duke at authoritative one.
My ambition was to actualize commodity simple so I ample I'd accouterment a accountable I apperceive well—me!
LinkedIn profiles haven't afflicted abundant in the aftermost decade. Sure, they're added adorable than resumes but they aren't abundant added engaging. It's about aloof a annual of dates, titles, and buzzwords—which is absolute for weeding out 90% of candidates. But already you've begin an absorbing applicant how do you acquaint if she's attractive for work? How do you actuate if he's a cultural fit? What if you appetite to see examples of their work?
I ample a bot could footfall in at this date of the application activity because bots can calmly acknowledgment alternating questions (let's face it: recruiters all basically ask the aforementioned things). Bots can additionally accommodate added ambience for band items on a resume, and accord a faculty of someone's personality. There's a ton of advice about yourself that could be acclimated to affix you to bigger opportunities, like your hobbies, values, area preferences, multimedia samples of your work, on and on. A resume can't authority all of that, but a bot can. My achievement was that EstherBot could advertise some of my arbitrary interests and altercate my claimed values.
I'm not a developer and alone apperceive the bald basal of HTML, CSS, and JS, so I bare to acquisition a simple adjustment to actualize a bot. Builders like Howdy's BotKit, Microsoft Bot Framework, Kik Bot Kit, Gupshup, Api.ai, and Wit.ai activity added appearance but were basically non-starters due to their abstruse requirements.
I was able to get activity appealing bound with a few added messaging casework including TextIt (whose beheld editor I loved), Sonar, and absitively on Smooch. There are a few alternatives—the simplest belvedere to actualize a bot on today is Telegram, and application Bot Belvedere 2.0 you can set up a basal bot in annual acknowledgment to the "BotFather."
I acclimated Smooch because they accomplish it accessible to accelerate images, GIFs and activity ons beyond assorted platforms. Plus, they had the key integrations I needed—Twilio (for SMS/MMS), Messenger, Telegram, and Slack (for tracking conversations). I didn't appetite any of their added integrations but admired that I could change my apperception and add added platforms bottomward the alley if I wanted.
Under the awning Smooch connects to a ton of added channels: Android, iOS, Facebook, Shopify, Telegram, WordPress and the web. You can acquire payments with Stripe or accept from a agglomeration of added casework to accumulate the chump abutment ancillary of things by axis on Front, Help Scout, HipChat, or Zendesk. Aback all conversations accompany automatically and get baffled through Slack I'm able to jump in and say accost in real-time whenever my bot makes an introduction.
I fabricated a few tweaks to the Smooch archetype cipher and simplified the instructions. Even if you're not a coder, don't be abashed by the actuality that you'll be application GitHub. Here's how to get started:
Creating this adaptation will accord you a web based babble app. With a few integrations central of Smooch (like Twilio) you can acquire your bot talking on added platforms too including SMS, Facebook, and Telegram. Next we set up our new Smooch app (these admonition are acclimatized from Smooch's own example):
Now that you acquire a bot you charge to adjudge what it'll say. That's area the book script.json comes in. It's the certificate you charge to adapt to accomplish your bot talk.
Edit the certificate on GitHub by beat on the pencil icon. The keywords are on the left, and the bot's acknowledgment is on the right. For example, if a user types "hello" again the bot will say "Sweet, let's do this…"
Keywords are not case acute for users. The alone two keywords you don't appetite to change are "CONNECT ME" and "DISCONNECT". CONNECT ME turns the automatic babble off, so the bot will stop responding to keywords. DISCONNECT will about-face the bot aback on. Also, the antecedent calligraphy starts with "So you appetite to apprentice about Esther? …" but of advance you'll appetite to change it. You can adapt it in the script.js file.
Unsurprisingly, crafting acute communicative flows is absolutely hard. Probably the hardest allotment of the absolute process. Being able to add flair, artifice and personality is a altered accomplishment set than architecture a bot. I started out by mapping a chat timberline on cardboard but you should use a added adult tool, conceivably commodity like MindMup, if your interactions are added complicated. And application the Bot UI Kit I played with how the chat would attending to end users with images, GIFs and ons. (You can go get a chargeless download of my absolute Sketch book to get you started.)
If you appetite to adapt your letters a little added with band breaks, images, and alternate ons, apprentice added in my ReadMe on GitHub.
Voila! You acquire added addition bot to the internet.
Spoiler alert: My bot is killing it as a recruiter. It's chatted with association from every industry and has alien me to bodies at Facebook, Microsoft, and Google — additional a bisected dozen smaller, acute teams. What's your take? Are bots and communicative UIs the "most exciting" affair to appear aback the App Store revolution? Will there appear a time back we all acquire bots acting as intermediaries?

Big Day
Today was one of those days where everything seemed right with the world. My little boy went off for pre-school today. I don't know how it seems that just yesterday he was saying "hold yous" and looking up at me with arms outstretched and suddenly he was standing there today all big boy like and ready to say goodbye as he walked in to school for the first time. The superman capes they had were an immediate draw. It was a definite step up from the bed sheets that he has grown accustomed to taking off his bed several times a day and putting over his head as he runs around the house claiming that he is Superman. He tells me he will protect me and that no bad guys will get me. I believe him.
When he was picked up at the end of the day his teachers remarked about how they didn't realize he was going to be that much fun. He really is that fun! My funny sweet little boy that is such a conversationalist.
Later that night following pizza, Finn and I danced in the living room together. He told me he has a lot of tricks. I just felt lucky to be his mama and that I could still lift him in my arms and hold him while we danced. Troy and Milla came home and joined in our dance party. Milla stomped her feet and waved her little hands. There is nothing quite as cute as that. These are the moments that cost nothing and mean everything.
I just tucked the kids in. It's quiet in the house now and I'm heading back to work but grateful my life is as simple and wonderfully complicated as it is with the people I love. Even without a big day out...a big day in with my family can be one of the best kind of days.

CES Teaser - G.722 on the way?
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 7:24 pm
In the blog, this teaser posted today: http://www.ooma.com/blog/2010/01/04/oom ... -ces-2010/. Sounds like the wideband codec for the Telo handset, G.722 or some variant, is to be part of the new feature news. This would be for calls between phones that both support this codec, as I understand it.

The pattern called for a double row of a checkerboard to fill in the bottom, so I made two rows of squares and laid it all out on the bed:
Then I thought, "why not separate those rows and put one above and one below the Flying Geese row?
I really liked the way that looked, and I decided to move the whole section up to the top:
The last big decision to make was choosing the sashing fabric. I thought a medium value neutral would be a good choice to set off both the light and dark sections. I cut a few strips and tried them out:
Nope. Made the whole thing too muddy. I decided that a light tone-on-tone fabric with a tiny print flower would be a better choice.
It was the most challenging thing I have ever undertaken, but I enjoyed it immensely, and it was certainly never boring. I don't think the photo does it justice, quite frankly.
After all the sorting and cutting, my previously organized stash of Civil War Repro fabrics looks like this:
At least I managed to keep the lights and darks in separate piles.
Of course, I still have to figure out how it will be quilted, and I will add some kind of border, but for now, I'm enjoying just seeing it all in one piece on the bed in the spare room.

- With their first head-to-head matchup coming up on Sunday, a look at how the top two picks of the 2016 draft got so good, so fast
Seven times in NFL history, quarterbacks have been taken 1 and 2 in the draft. The first five times, at least one team wound up disappointed, while the sixth time (Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota) brought two quality starters with a chance to develop into something more. The seventh time, the two franchises appear to have struck gold.
Time will tell whether or not they sustain this success, but when Jared Goff and Carson Wentz take the field at the L.A. Coliseum this Sunday, the 2016 No. 1 pick, Goff, will have passer rating of 98.4 on the season. The No. 2 pick, Wentz, will have a rating of 102.0. Their offenses will enter as the only ones averaging over 30 points per game, and their teams will be a combined 19-5, with front-runner positioning for an NFC playoff bye week on the line.
How did we get here? And how did we arrive so soon? Before exploring that, let's understand one thing: This is not a debate about who is better between Goff or Wentz. Because there is no debate. It's Wentz. He and Goff may have entered the league in the same class of QBs, but the class Wentz resides in now includes the likes of Brady, Rodgers, Ryan and Brees. Goff, on the other hand, is still roaming the halls, searching for a room, bumping into QBs like Derek Carr and Jameis Winston along the way.
Wentz is a superstar because he has what Andrew Luck has always had: an uncanny ability to extend a play without breaking it down. Wentz is mobile enough to consistently escape defenders, and yet whenever possible he stays in the pocket and relies on his arm (which packs more than enough strength). He's a first-class playmaker who quarterbacks with discipline.
That discipline has propagated an expansive offense in Philadelphia. Even though Wentz played collegiately at the FCS level, the system he ran at North Dakota State made him the most pro-ready QB to enter the league since Luck in 2012. Still, in 2016, then-first-year head coach Doug Pederson brought his first-year QB along slowly. Pederson featured widened formations and a ton of three-step timing throws, keeping Wentz's reads inherently simple.
The plan was to gradually push Wentz into a more complex system after Year One. Even though Wentz's rookie season was marred by a mid-season slump featuring mechanical glitches and poor decisions, the Eagles went through with said plan. When your quarterback can extend plays as remarkably as Wentz, you run an aggressive, downfield-attacking offense. So, over the offseason, as Wentz honed his mechanics, Philadelphia signed a wide receiver who can run by people (Torrey Smith), and one who can reach over them (Alshon Jeffery). Both brought a vertical dimension to the passing attack, plus their arrival pushed third-year pro Nelson Agholor into the slot, where he has struck oil.
The instant the 2017 season got underway, it was clear the Eagles would follow through wholeheartedly with the plan. Their first few series in Week 1 against Washington featured a variety of play-action deep shots. As the season has progressed, the aerial attack has grown to feature a litany of five-and seven-step timing dropbacks. Pederson has done a masterful job out-leveraging defenses with two-and three-man route combinations. Wentz now has a full field to exploit vertically and horizontally, and he has responded by making sharp reads on a regular basis.
It helps that the Eagles have an extensive ground game. We saw glimmers of this last season. Now, with the trade for Jay Ajayi, there are two power backs (LeGarrette Blount is the other) to feature in multi-tight end sets, plus shiftier backs like Corey Clement and Kenjon Barner, who can run out of three-receiver sets. None are super dynamic, but all are steady behind Philly's stalwart O-line and in the league's most diverse running scheme. Each week from the Eagles, you see inside and outside zone, gap scheme runs like "power" and "counter," trap plays and selective snaps of read-option. It's an inherently balanced offense. When the ground game doesn't work (and in every NFL game, there will be two-play sequences where it doesn't), Wentz's playmaking prowess can provide answers on third-and-long. When the ground game does work, it helps create opportunities for first- and second-down passing, which is where chunk yardage comes.
He's done very well on third down, but first and second down is where he cashes his checks, and it's why Los Angeles joins Philadelphia in the 30 Points Per Game Club. If play-action is a pillar in Philly's offense, it's the foundation of the Rams'. Head coach Sean McVay features condensed formations, with receivers in tight splits where they have quick access to the middle of the field on bang-bang play-action timing, as well as space to attack outside, allowing for the designed rollouts that the surprisingly spry Goff is getting better at executing.
Play-action simplifies things by creating half-field and either-or reads for a QB. It also counters the pass rush, which alleviates some of the concern about Goff's efficacy at throwing with defenders around him. Goff has exhibited the necessary toughness—he's not afraid to get hit—but he still sometimes instinctively moves before he needs to. That can grossly hinder a QB's growth (see Blaine Gabbert, who is what a failed Goff might look like).
Goff, to his credit, is getting better at operating with bodies around him. It helps that McVay's play designs work to Goff's strengths. In many respects, Goff is a more talented version of the QB McVay had in Washington, Kirk Cousins. Goff is a little stronger-armed and maybe a touch more athletic, but like Cousins, he is a timing and rhythm thrower. He's proficient on seam balls and when targeting receivers running patterns in a multi-route combination. And encouragingly, the more critical the situation, the more assertively Goff plays.
What's also starting to show is Goff's comfort at finding his checkdown. This is one of the overlooked traits that makes guys like Tom Brady and Philip Rivers wildly productive year after year. Checkdowns create hidden yardage, including by just keeping an offense out of negative plays. Goff is getting better by the week at checking it down at the right time, and the Rams have an excellent post-catch running threat in Todd Gurley, who has also become a major component in the regular aerial attack. Involving Gurley, whether on screens or designer vertical routes from the backfield, is another way to define the throw for Goff.
Of course, on paper, almost every play design works. The difference with Wentz in Philly's offense and Goff in Los Angeles's is in the people. Both offenses are run by a young but responsible QB, and that QB is surrounded by quality coaches. Pederson and Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich were both backups behind legendary QBs (Pederson for Brett Favre, Reich for Jim Kelly). They came up through the coaching ranks under esteemed veteran offensive minds like Andy Reid (Pederson) and longtime Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore (Reich). The man who works with Wentz most directly, quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, was probably the most sought-after would-be offensive coordinator this past offseason. (The Eagles wouldn't let him interview.) For Goff, there's McVay, who might already be the best offensive mind in football, plus offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, a Kyle Shanahan disciple who was the position coach for MVP Matt Ryan for two years. There's also QB coach Greg Olson, who has coordinated offenses for five different teams in 10 different seasons during his 16-year NFL career.
Both the Eagles and Rams franchises are in near-perfect conditions now and for the future. Other teams should pay close attention, because these conditions were not inherited, they were created.

It could sound slightly odd, but I have always loved the way my eyebrows look, I've never let anyone else touch them, never had them waxed or threaded, I've always used tweezers and done it myself. It was only last year that I was introduced to eyebrow powder and I have never looked back. I have use a pencil before but I really didn't like it, plus couldn't get the colour right!
I've been using Toppik UK Brow Building Fibers Set* this week and I am in love! Since I take a lot of pride in my eyebrows, the product I use has to be perfect or I won't be using it! This product was a new experience for me. There are two stages to applying it, you start with using an angled brush to apply the brow conditioning wax, which also helps to shape the eyebrows, and tame those stray hairs, you know the ones I mean...we all have them. The Brow Conditioning Wax is also made with nourishing Mango, Shea and Cocoa Butters, so it feels so soft when you take your makeup off. The next step is to apply the brow building fibers. These are made of natural, coloured keratin protein fibers that will cling to the eyebrows.
I have never seen or even heard of a product like this before. At first I wasn't sure, I opened the packaging and I liked how the tubs of wax and fibers were so neatly assembled, which makes it perfect for just chucking into my makeup bag when I need to, because you know, eyebrows need to stay on point at all times. I applied the wax, which felt a bit odd at first, then got the fibers out of their tub. On closer inspection, they are very fine, little tiny fibers, so I applied them to my eyebrows, and I got a darker colour than I was used to. However, after evening them out and getting used to them, my eyebrows definitely looked fuller and I loved them! They didn't feel any different to how they normally would be which I liked, as theres nothing worse than being conscious of what is on your face!
If you want to get your own, highly recommended, you can do so here, this kit is only £14.95 until the end of November when it will be £16.95 again. Plus free mainland shipping in the UK, so what are you waiting for?

Building up an email list for marketing purposes is absolutely essential.
In fact, according to research by MarketingSherpa, 60% of marketers polled found that email marketing produced an ROI for their company (32% believe it will eventually produce an ROI). When asked what the estimated ROI from email marketing programs for the company were – the overall group reported 119% – a figure that's tough for any online store owner to ignore.
Having a list of emails from previous and potential customers means you can get your information, products, and content into their personal mailboxes. In contrast, updates made to your Facebook page and Twitter handle will almost never be able to reach your entire following, due to time zone differences and other factors.
Start building your email list today by including an email subscription form somewhere noticeable on your website. Here's a clever way to convince visitors to sign up for your list. Instead of simply saying "Join our Newsletter," offer an incentive or some type of value for signing up. Skinny Teatox offers the chance to win a free product every week, so they showcase that offering to encourage people to join.

1. With the Chiefs getting ready for their biggest late-season game in the year, it appears they will be without quarterback Matt Cassel for this week's road game in San Diego. Cassel underwent appendectomy surgery this week and will likely be a game-time decision. With an 8-4 record, a Chiefs win coupled with a Raiders loss in Jacksonville would likely give Kansas City an insurmountable lead in capturing their first AFC West title since 2002. However, if Cassel can't go, backup Brodie Croyle will take over under center, and he has compiled a horrendous 0-9 record as a starter since being taken in the second round of the 2007 draft.
2. While Kansas City is within sight of their first division title in years, the Colts are getting precariously close to sitting out the playoffs for the first time since the 2001 season. Surprisingly, the main problem for the Colts at the moment is at quarterback. Peyton Manning had thrown 11 interceptions in the three games prior to Thursday night's win over the Titans. Those three games ended up as losses, due largely to four of Manning's interceptions being returned for touchdowns, one of which resulted in a game-winning field goal for the Cowboys in overtime. Indianapolis was outscored 40-0 off turnovers in those games. The four picks Manning threw in each of the two games prior to Week 14 are a career first. Despite all of this, the Colts still control their own destiny. Having beaten the Texans on Thursday night, they still have the opportunity to take the AFC South title if they can win their two remaining games.
3. Despite playing with a broken nose for almost the entire game, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continued his mastery over the Ravens on Sunday night. With the Steelers racking up ten fourth-quarter points to come from behind for a 13-10 win, Roethlisberger now has an 8-2 lifetime record against Baltimore, which includes six straight wins.
4. With losses in their last two games, the Buccaneers' surprising run at a playoff spot is losing steam, and you don't have to look any further than the team's lengthy injury list for an explanation. The group most affected has been the offensive line, where left tackle Donald Penn is the team's only offensive lineman lining up where he started in Week 1. Center Jeff Faine was placed on injured reserve this week, joining right guard Davin Joseph. Also, right tackle Jeremy Trueblood has lost his starting spot to James Lee. Rookie Ted Larsen has taken over at left guard for Keydrick Vincent, who was released a few weeks ago. Jeremy Zuttah, a converted guard, will step in for Faine this week while another rookie, Derek Hardman, will start in place of Joseph. The Bucs have featured a trio of surprise fantasy performers this year in quarterback Josh Freeman, running back LeGarrette Blount, and wide receiver Mike Williams, but the state of the offensive line should concern those players' owners.
5. The Bucs ship might be sinking, but division rival New Orleans appears to have hit their stride over the past five weeks. And the fantasy owners of the Saints skill position players should continue to reap the benefits over the remainder of the season. The Saints have won five straight games and have scored at least 30 points in each of their last four games. If any Saints players are available on the waiver wire in your league, they are likely worth grabbing.
6. The Packers offense has been a boon for any fantasy owner wise enough to have grabbed Green Bay's skill position players in this year's draft; and quarterback Aaron Rodgers is once again the top fantasy quarterback. On the field, Rodgers is continuing to build upon his solid 2009 season and has now thrown 177 consecutive passes without an interception, the second-longest of that streak in Packers history. And, no, Brett Favre (of course) is not the current owner of that record. It belongs to another Packers legend, Bart Starr.
7. The sad-sack Bills haven't been able to buy a break thus far in 2010. They have lost five games by five or fewer points, including three losses by three points in overtime with one coming on a last-second field goal. With a glaring need for a franchise quarterback as well as reinforcements at several positions, Bills fans are now looking toward the draft and hoping for a quick turnaround similar to the Rams' solid season, which has come largely through the performance of this year's first overall pick, quarterback Sam Bradford. With a 2-10 record, Buffalo sits tied with Detroit and Cincinnati and is one game ahead of Carolina (1-11). However, the chances of Buffalo landing the top pick and selecting Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck remain disappointing slim for Bills followers. That's because the tiebreaker in determining draft position for non-playoff teams is the strength of a team's opponents, with the team with a more difficult schedule being ranked above a team with an easier schedule. The Bills lose out due to the excellent records of the team's in their division, with the Patriots, Jets, and Dolphins having a combined record of 25-11. In essence, the Bills get punished for being in a good division, and that will likely prevent them, once again, from acquiring a potential franchise quarterback.
8. If there's a silver lining for Bills fans, look no further than the battered state of the team's offensive line, which will greatly reduce their chances of winning another game in 2010. With the Dolphins, Patriots, and Jets on tap for Weeks 15-17, the Bills only realistic chance for another win comes this week when they face the Browns in Buffalo. Cleveland lost both its starting and second-string centers this week when Geoff Hangartner and Kraig Urbik were lost to knee injuries. Those injuries will likely result in left guard Andy Levitre sliding over to center, a position he has never played professionally. Undrafted rookie free agent Cord Howard will take over for Levitre at left guard. Eric Wood will likely return to the starting lineup at right guard after having missed two games with an ankle injury. And Mansfield Wrotto, who wasn't even with the Bills in training camp, will line up at right tackle. Buffalo has regularly ignored the offensive line in the draft—a philosophy that obviously needs to change going forward.
9. As you've heard several times by now, the Chargers have been ranked near the top of the league in both offense and defense for much of the season; they were even ranked No. 1 in each category for several weeks. However, they are coming off a poor showing at home in a key divisional game against the Raiders and, surprisingly, it was their inability to stop the run that was their undoing. Michael Bush finished with 104 rushing yards, becoming the first player to gain over 100 yards on the ground against the Chargers in 2010. Prior to that, the most yards they had given up to one player was the 91 they allowed to the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles on opening day. Worse yet for the Chargers, Darren McFadden finished with 97 yards, leaving him just three yards shy of the century mark. With a 6-6 record and four games remaining, the Chargers need help to reach the playoffs and are behind both Oakland and Kansas City with a division record of 1-3. Their schedule isn't daunting, however, with this week's game against the Chiefs being their biggest test. But barring a Kansas City collapse, the Chargers seem destined to be on the outside looking in come playoff time.
10. Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has been on fire for much of the 2010 season. With seven receptions for 74 yards this week, he topped his previous high in receptions and now has 91 on the season. At this point, it appears White will become the first Falcon to catch 100 passes since the diminutive Eric Metcalf did so in 1995.
11. The Cowboys have had a three-headed fantasy monster at running back this season with Felix Jones, Marion Barber, and Tashard Choice all playing a role—yet none of them have been significant fantasy performers. With Barber out of the lineup last Sunday and the Colts and their feeble run defense on tap, Dallas had their best rushing performance of the season, courtesy of a 100-yard, one-touchdown performance by Choice and a 22-carry, 83-yard performance by Jones. Barber has been a huge disappointment this season and carries a hefty price tag for next season, which will result in his release unless his accepts a drastic salary reduction. Look for Dallas to go with a Jones–Choice tandem in 2011, and don't be surprised if Choice ends up being the better fantasy performer. He has been productive when given an opportunity, and the Cowboys view him as the better short-yardage runner, which should translate into better touchdown production than Jones.
12. Another young running back whose performance in Week 13 increased his value in dynasty leagues is Green Bay's James Stark. The rookie fell to the sixth round of the NFL draft due to injury problems in college, but the Packers like his size/speed combination. Incumbent Ryan Grant is on injured reserve and carries a 2011 salary of just under $6 million in the final year of his deal. Despite not having played since his junior season, Starks was solid in his first game as a pro, gaining 73 yards on 19 carries. With Brandon Jackson having used his extensive playing time in 2010 to prove that he is nothing more than a backup, Starks will almost certainly enter 2011 at no worse than second on the depth chart.
13. Raiders rookie fourth-round pick Jacoby Ford has been impressive in limited action this season and has come on of late, with a pair of 100-yard receiving games and two touchdowns in his last four games. Although Ford has been productive, Oakland head coach Tom Cable announced this week that Ford isn't assured of retaining his starting spot once the team's veteran receivers are healthy. That may just be a motivational ploy, but it won't be a surprise if Louis Murphy and Darrius Heyward-Bey take over as the team's starters, relegating Ford to a backup role.

Ayn Rand goes to the movies
Ayn Rand is a polarizing figure. How's that for understatement?
I spoke to a reader this morning who was pretty upset that the film "Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?," based on Rand's most-acclaimed novel, wasn't listed in the "Now Showing" grid of movies in the FYI section.
The movie is currently on two screens in the area, but my caller pointed out a few others that are in the grid are playing on only one or two screens as well.
"Isn't that an example of bias, of The Star not liking libertarian politics?" she asked.
I can understand people who might perceive it this way, and readers' subjective impressions count for a lot. I do note, though, that the movie is listed in the "Special Screenings" column just to the left of the grid, and it did get its own small item on Sept. 12 as well.
However, the filmmakers didn't screen it for critics, so no reviews were available on its opening day. And the film is the third in a trilogy that has been a decided commercial flop. Its score on Metacritic right now is an 11 ("overwhelming dislike"), and its Rotten Tomatoes aggregate is a big fat zero. Ouch.
(A secret in the media business: No advance screenings often mean the studios want to avoid negative reviews.)
However, you also don't have to read very far into the reviews that have been published to see that a lot of them critique Rand's politics as harshly as the movie making. I get why that upsets some people, who tend to lump "the media" all together.
There are many layers to this question. I haven't seen any of the "Shrugged" movies, but I do have to say that the trailers and the fact that an almost entirely different cast plays the lead roles in each installment are pretty clear indications that we aren't dealing with a very professional product here. It was self-distributed, and part of its very small budget was raised through a Kickstarter campaign.
Although I can't see into these movie makers' minds, there is also an intentional marketing strategy behind some movies and books that embraces their outlier status. The fact that mainstream media "ignore" a book or movie that was never really pitched to them becomes a very effective back-door advertising method sometimes.
Rand's objectivist philosophy is much maligned (and often radically and ignorantly misinterpreted) by her critics. And it must also be said that her fans also misunderstand some of her views and elide scrutiny of her internal inconsistencies, or parts of her viewpoints that clash violently with early-21st-century conservative/libertarianism.
Viewed on its own merits, I don't think "Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?" probably would have been much of a contender for coverage even if it wasn't a polemic. But the fact that it is makes readers question how it's covered, and that's fair.

This is a summer staple for me when we have fresh, ripe tomatoes in the garden. I can truly eat it every day and my boys seem to like it as well.
