Off-Menu Fried Chicken Dinners at ChurchKey in D.C.
Up until now, if you wanted fried chicken from ChurchKey, you'd have to wait until Sunday. Even then, despite offering excellent chicken and waffles or the crazy Luther sandwich, if you just wanted a giant platter of chicken, you'd be out of luck. All of that has changed; ChurchKey has moved the fried chicken service to midweek. The off-menu fried chicken dinner for four ($42) is now on Wednesdays.
The house-butchered chicken is served up three ways: classic buttermilk, jerk, and General Tso's. The buttermilk comes as thighs and drumsticks and is the quintessential southern fried chicken experience. The skin is thin, crispy, and well-seasoned while the meat is incredibly moist.
The jerk comes as a large serving of chicken tenders (easily the largest of the three). The jerk seasoning has a mild heat and tastes subtly of allspice. If you're shoving the jerk tenders in your mouth immediately after the buttermilk, the flavors might blend together, but give yourself some breathing room to really appreciate the different flavors.
General Tso's crispy wings have a sweet soy flavor familiar to anyone that's had chicken at a place like Bon Chon Chicken. Chef Bailey refers to the wings as "General Satan's" due to the spice and, while they are mildly spicy, if you're accustomed to spicy food, they likely won't live up to that moniker for you. To accompany the chicken, the platter also comes with Mexican style corn on the cob topped with a spicy sambal mayo, bread crumbs, sesame, and cilantro; a panzanella salad with heirloom tomatoes and burrata; and four small, airy biscuits with maple butter.
If that weren't enough, the meal is topped off with four of Birch & Barley pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac's freshly fried doughnuts. They'll rotate flavors; our night we got chocolate filled brioche topped with marshmallow and graham cracker (think s'mores) and a vanilla cream filled brioche topped with a strawberry marmalade. The brioche is light and fluffy and the fillings aren't overly sweet. A great way to end an already heavy meal.
The meal feeds four comfortably and, for $42, it's a good deal. But be advised, ChurchKey sold out by 7 p.m. the first two Wednesdays it was available. So call three of your friends and start thinking of excuses for ducking out of work early on Wednesdays to commemorate Hump Day with a tray full of fried chicken and plenty of beer (of course).

I'm trying to add the user Kundry to
and I copy and paste both from the request and from their URL, and nothing happens. I tested trying to add a couple other people to the user list, and that didn't work either (uh, sorry franknstein if you get a surprise new blog).
a) is everyone else able to add new users to their sub blogs?
b) is there a sub blog for sub blog issues.
And, yes, I have sent an email to support, but it took them four days to even reply to my first issue, and they never solved it.

After being thrust into the media spotlight in the national debate on contraception coverage in healthcare, Sandra Fluke (LAW '12) shared her story Monday in Gaston Hall.
Fluke testified Feb. 23 on contraceptive access for students of religious universities before the U.S. House of Representative's Democratic Steering and Policy Committee after being invited by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Her testimony was met with harsh criticism from conservative political pundits, particularly by radio host Rush Limbaugh, who called her a "slut" and a "prostitute."
Fluke's lecture was sponsored by the Lecture Fund and the Georgetown Public Policy Institute and moderated by professor Judith Feder.
The conversation began with a description of Georgetown's contraception coverage. Both undergraduate and graduate students can enroll in an insurance plan underwritten by the university or purchase private insurance. Georgetown's plan does not cover contraceptives for pregnancy prevention needs but does cover birth control pills used for hormone control or other medicinal purposes.
According to Fluke, this approach causes problems for many women at Georgetown.
"Those problems ranged from having a doctor question extensively what your symptoms are … and not believing you … because they suspect that you may be trying to get contraception to prevent pregnancy," she said. "Women have gone through very difficult conversations and many still don't get reimbursement for the contraception that they need."
In February, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius announced that the Affordable Care Act would require religiously-affiliated universities to provide complete contraception coverage in the health insurance they offer. Backlash from the U.S. Conference of Bishops and other religious organizations prompted President Obama to instead require insurance companies, not religiously-affiliated organizations themselves, to pay for birth control.
However, opponents of the regulations argue that by forcing private insurance companies to cover contraceptives, the federal government is still placing the burden on religious institutions that pay or contribute to their employees' private insurance plans.
In response to this criticism, Fluke noted that the university does not contribute to student insurance plans.
"I do want to point out that here at Georgetown, student insurance was never subsidized. It's always been entirely paid for by students," she said. "Our own premiums pay for our own insurance, and there's no institutional money involved."
Fluke stressed that she does not feel that women should have to sacrifice their education in order to have access to affordable contraception.
"It seems wrong to ask female students to choose between their healthcare and the quality of their education," she said. "If Georgetown is the best school you got into or offers you the best career opportunities, why should you as a female student have to not attend Georgetown and have to find somewhere else because of your healthcare needs?"
Though she has been divisive on the national stage, the audience in Gaston Hall was composed largely of students in support of Fluke and her role in advocating greater contraception coverage.
But her speaking appearance was not without controversy.
An open letter to University President John J. DeGioia prompted by Fluke's role in the debate was signed by 103 current and former students and alumni, calling on the university to clarify its position on the healthcare mandates.
According to Knights of Columbus member and letter signatory Kevin Sullivan (SFS '14), Georgetown can comply with the regulations by fall 2012, file for a one-year religious exemption or follow several other Catholic universities in suing the federal government over the perceived deprivation of religious liberty.
The letter is slated to be sent today to university administrators including DeGioia, Vice President for Student Affairs Todd Olsen and Vice President for Mission and Ministry Fr. Kevin O'Brien, S.J.
Sullivan also reiterated DeGioia's calls for thoughtful discussion of the issue.
"We also need informed civil discourse," he said. "When there is uninformed civil discourse, we can't get anywhere. We want the university to clarify its reaction to where it stands on the Health and Human Services mandate, because we believe it should be an informed discussion."
After the event, Kieran Raval (COL '13) criticized the Lecture Fund for the format of the event.
"There was very little dialogue today. … It was Sandra speaking about her position and her activities, and obviously the moderator is very sympathetic," he said.
Raval, who is Grand Knight of GU's Knights of Columbus and also signed the open letter, suggested that a dialogue or panel format could have remedied the situation.

Dream Hunts
Kris Maples
Northern Michigan Outfitters-Wisconsin North
As hunters we all have those hunts that are considered to be dream hunts. We have all grown up watching and idolizing people like Jim Shockey who are able to travel and participate in exotic hunts all over the world. I used to dream about Canadian moose, wolf, or bear hunts. While other children were dreaming about baseball, and football visions of axis in Hawaii were frolicking in my head. I would love to be able to travel to Africa for some exotic hunts.
Earlier today I was presented with a seemingly simple question. "What do you value more the thrill of the hunt, or the thrill of the kill?" This query set off a myriad of thoughts fighting through my mind. Although I realize there is no right or wrong answer to this question. My instinctive reaction was that they are one in the same. If you don't have the hunt, then you most certainly will not have the kill. Then I thought about how much of a blessing it is to be able to sustain life by taking a life, so I must value the kill more, right? Not so fast. After a long battle in my thought process I came to the realization that the hunt is the most important part to me. This for now is my final answer.
What finally led me to this answer? I am glad you asked. I thought about why I hunt, and I realized that I don't kill everything I see while I am in the woods. I enjoy the crackling of leaves as squirrels play. The song of the cicadas soothes me like no other tune ever written. The rippling creek melodically charms any work related stress I might have had away. So with this I formed my opinion that the hunt is more valuable, and the kill is just an added blessing.
This led me to think about my dream hunts, and what those would be. Now that I realized I'm doing it for more reasons than just taking a life, do I still consider those exotics to be my dream hunts? No, I don't. Now don't get me wrong. I would love and cherish the opportunity to do those hunts, but they are the hunts that fill my dreams at night. I often replay my first deer over and over in my head, but the dreams do not end there. One of my favorite hunts to reminisce over was unsuccessful, or so I thought. I can remember being maybe 10 years old following my father and grandfather walking through the woods scouting. At that time I didn't realize what I was learning, but I still remember many of those teachings.
I also love to remember shooting my grandfather's .270 for the first time. I had probably put close to 200 rounds through a .30-30, and it couldn't be much different right? My first thought after squeezing the trigger was "man this thing is loud." Through the laughter and the throbbing of my eye I realized that most of the sound derived from the scope connecting with my skull. After making sure I was conscious my Dad and Papa laughed harder than I can remember them ever laughing. For a brief moment my Papa wasn't sick. Seeing turkey in full strut for the first time was another amazing memory.
My little cousin and uncle called in two nice sized long beards my first time ever turkey hunting. My cousin and I posted up and waited, the show of strutting and gobbling those two birds put on, was nothing short of astonishing. I of course missed mine. One of my favorite most unsuccessful hunts was sitting in a ground blind with a new girlfriend. We had the perfect set up. My blind was on a ridge overlooking a flat with a creek and a persimmon tree. It was a beautiful silent morning. As we sat there in the dark silently waiting for day to break I started noticing this strange noise.
If I had to describe it I would say that it sounded like what I would imagine a hog and a bear fighting sounded like. The second time I heard it the sound became clear. My belly was screaming for help. I was so embarrassed. Then to my surprise her stomach started speaking back. Our bellies were singing Bohemian Rhapsody in some strange foreign language that we could never understand. We sat there and laughed the whole morning. I later made that beautiful huntress my bride.
If you consider the kill to be the measure of how successful a hunt is then you would consider these hunts very unsuccessful. I on the other hand realize that I learned lessons that transcend the realm of hunting from all of these encounters. To me these are the most successful hunts I've ever been involved with. That in turn makes these my dream hunts. These are the hunts that have created the man that is putting this in to words. I often pray that I have many more hunts like this small sample. I long for the day my daughter (and one more if the Lord willing) can join me for these adventures. I can not wait until I have the opportunity to sit in a blind with my wife again. These occasions are what I fantasize about as a hunter, and no exotic animal will ever replace them as my dream hunts.

Silk Dry cleaning is generally preferred and uses a professional dry cleaner who
knows how to treat silk. For items without linings and without embellishments attached,
careful hand washing is permissible, with mild soap and lukewarm water. Chlorine
bleach should never be used on silk. Avoid exposing to sunlight & dry the garment
in shade only. For long-time storage, silk should be sealed against light, air and
Cotton can be easily laundered. It can withstand high temperatures (boiling water
does not hurt the fiber). Any good detergent can be used to wash cotton. Chlorine
bleach can be used safely on cotton whites. Use color safe bleach on dyed cottons.
Since cotton fibers are fairly inelastic cotton fabrics may wrinkle easily. And,
fabric may need frequent pressing. A higher heat setting is needed in the dryer
to dry cotton. Cotton will take much longer to dry than less absorbent fibers. Cotton
can be ironed with a hot iron, and does not scorch easily.
Hang on shaped or padded hangers, leaving lots of space. In general, wool fibers
will shed wrinkles and return to their original shape Empty pockets, remove belts
and hang with closures zipped and buttoned. Brush wool to remove surface soil. Use
a damp sponge for knits and finer fabrics. Refresh wool garments quickly after wearing
or unpacking by hanging them in a steamy bathroom. Moisture from the steam will
remove wrinkles. Remove spots and stains promptly. Dry clean once a season(or when
stained), and especially before storing.
Always steam when pressing wool, use the wool setting. Avoid pressing wool totally
dry. When possible, press on the reverse side of the fabric.
Use warm water and add a fabric softener to the final rinse cycle. Avoid exposing
to sunlight & dry the garment in shade only or machine dry at low temperature setting
and remove articles as soon as the tumbling cycle is complete. If ironing is needed,
use a moderately warm iron. Most items made from polyester can be dry-cleaned.
Some linen is washable, while others are dry clean only. Be sure to check the label.
Washable household linen, handkerchiefs, and linen apparel can be washed easily
and become softer with use. White linens should be dried in the sun, if to help
them to keep their whiteness. Generally speaking, dry cleaning is recommended for
drapery linens, upholstery linens and decorative linens. Linen fabrics may need
frequent pressing.

Hoda Kotb's year is off to a great start after being named co-anchor of the "Today" show!
"Extra's" Tanika Ray caught up with Hoda backstage at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," where she weighed in on Jane Fonda's beef with her NBC colleague, Megyn Kelly.
The Hollywood legend and the host are clashing after Jane was unhappy with Megyn's line of questioning about her plastic surgery when she was a guest on her show. The feud was reunited this week after Jane was asked about it at Sundance. Megyn addressed it on her show yesterday.
Kotb weighed in, saying, "You've got two powerful women who are having their own thing… I think they'll sort out their business."
Hoda and Savannah Guthrie are a powerful morning news team. She explained, "When it happened, it didn't feel like... 'Okay, we have two women.' It was two people who clicked and it all happened to coincide during this moment in time where it worked."
Hoda took over the anchor seat after Matt Lauer's exit over sexual harassment allegations, and she is still talking to Matt, sharing, "Yeah, I've spoken to him and he's really putting all the focus on his family and I am just… hoping everything works out the way it's supposed to be."
Kotb is excited about her own family, having adopted baby girl Haley Joy with longtime boyfriend Joel Schiffman last year. While she "became a mom at 52," she isn't ruling out giving Haley a brother or sister! She explained, "I would say, 'Never say never.'" Tanika smiled, claiming, "That's a yes, people." Hoda softened things with, "I don't know. We'll see."
So what's her answer about getting married again? Hoda answered, "I don't wake up and go, 'Ohhh, I wish…' I feel like everything is the way it should be. He's such a good man and such a good dad and such a good partner in life."
"I don't know what life's gonna bring," Hoda added, "and I'm so happy with the way it is."

Hi! My name is Lara N., I'm a 50-something SAHM (Stay At Home Mother) and I have been married for 23 years. I'm from New Jersey, and my husband is from Japan, so we have that international/interracial/pretty-much inter-everything thing going on 🙂
I'm the mother of 11-yr-old twin girls who I conceived after 3 InVitro attempts, carried 39 weeks, and gave birth to via c-section (both were head-up).
Promptly after that, I experienced breastfeeding difficulties, sticker-shock at just how expensive life with twins can be and more exhaustion than I thought humanly possible!!
Since then, we've all been growing and widening our hearts, and somehow managing to deal with our expenses.
I decided to put up this blog as something that might be of interest to people with multiples (twins, etc…) or other small children in their life, infertility issues, in-vitro experiences, breastfeeding issues, international marriages, parents re-claiming their other-than-parent identities, and other related topics.
I'm currently only really writing posts about thoughts and topics that interest me, that resonate with me.
From time to time I'll write a product review, and if I've received any form of compensation for it, I'll mark that clearly.
If you've got any questions, please check out our FAQ below, or just send me an email at:
May your life be doubly Blessed!

- Why don't you have pictures of your kids on your website?
- What religion are you?
- Why isn't there more religious stuff on your page?
Q: Why don't you have pictures of your kids on your website?
A: Studies have been done on water by a Professor Emoto, that have proven that thought or intention can have a physical effect on the structure of water, even over long distances. Negative thoughts can alter the molecular structure for the worse. And since the human body is 70% water… if by remote chance, instead of a nice person like yourself visiting this webpage, a nutjob happened to land here, I wouldn't want someone like that taking a look at my kids. And sadly, I have run into other mama bloggers who were shocked to find pics of their kids they put up on their blogs ending up on extremely sick websites.
Q: What religion are you?
A: My beliefs at present time are generally best described as Lightworker.
May we all be better able to see our commonalities, rather than our differences. May we pour out Love and Light to all, so that all may live in peace. May we all be surrounded and embraced by kindness, respect and love, and may we actively express that everyday to those around us.
It's a lot more complex than that, but that's about as far as I'll go into it on this venue.
Q: Why isn't there more religious stuff on your page?
A: Because this is a page about raising my twins. Of course our religious beliefs/practices are a major part of our lives, and guide and inform every aspect, but I'm confident in my faith and don't feel the need to blatantly whack people upside the heads with my religious beliefs. There really isn't a contest or competition to "out-religious" others or prove who is holier than thou. What? You were expecting glazed eyes and religious fervor oozing on every page? If I blog about chocolate or sci-fi, you may get that. But otherwise, my beliefs and practice of the same are such an intrinsic part of my life that I just go about my business as usual without needing to froth at the mouth about it to whomever is within reach.
That said, I would like to recommend "Silent Unity", which is the Unity church's prayer hotline: 1-800-PRAY-NOW. They'll politely listen to you vent about your woes for about a minute, then they'll pray with you, and then send you a nice inspirational letter in the mail as well. It's free, and there's no limit on how many times you can call. They really helped me a lot at times when things got difficult. I think there's good things about almost every religion that can be applied toward our own flavor of faith on the path to our Source.
There, a little helping of religious stuff I sneaked in while you weren't looking. Happy now? If not, call the folks at Unity. They're really nice. 😉

Worms are the final indignity for Richard III
First he was slain in battle and his throne was usurped, then he was paraded naked through the streets, and, centuries later, a car park was built on top of his remains. Now Richard III has suffered the final indignity: scientists have told the world that he had roundworm.
The intestinal parasites were probably the result of dubious hygiene in the royal kitchens — although Richard himself was not to blame.
When the remains of Richard III were unearthed in Leicester last year, the world thrilled to an astonishing archaeological discovery that promised to shed fresh light on the world of the last Plantagenet king.
Some researchers, however, were eager to get a closer look at his bowels. The crooked back immortalised by Shakespeare was

by Mike Shea on 12 January 2015
Compared to previous versions of D&D and other fantasty RPGs, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is a bit stingy with the magic items. According to the Dungeon Master's Guide, a PC should receive roughly one permanent magic item per every five character levels.
This low-magic economy can be disappointing for some groups. Players love to get their fancy loot and some enjoy it when a dying monster explodes into a pinata of shining weapons like a Diablo 3 boss.
If we ignore these baseline rules and give out too many magic items, we could overpower our characters. Too many magic items can also screw with a game world's economy. Magic items aren't typically sold. They must be made or ordered special and can take months to make. If too many of them enter the economy, how will the economy react? What will players expect when they go into a weapons shop?
This creates another problem as well. What do the PCs do with all the money that they earn? 5e is stingy with magic items but not with cold hard cash. Buying a castle is an option but for wandering adventurers, a castle isn't really a big draw. For some it can be a downright pain in the ass what with all of the handling of the serfs, the clogged up of sewers, administration of the taxes, and keeping disease from spreading among the pigs.
Let's narrow down our problems:
Monte Cook's Numenera RPG introduces a type of item known as a "cypher". These strange hyper-technical items can be found all over the Ninth World and are designed to give PCs a nice boost in power that they can only use once. They can be world-breaking sorts of high power magic but won't completely imbalance the game because they only work once.
How can we add this sort of item to our D&D 5th Edition games? Lets create the relic.
The relic is an object infused with chaotic magical power. It might be centuries old or it might have formed yesterday. The item is infused with a single spell, identifiable and usable by anyone who possesses the item. When that power is used, it's gone and the item becomes useless. Here's a list of one hundred sample relics generated with the random relic generator ordered by level. You can have players roll 1d100, the higher the roll, the more powerful the relic. Reload this page for a new set of 100 relics or bookmark the random relic generator.
It's quite possible if the PCs find a treasure hoard that it might contain one or two relics. These are somewhat uncommon items, but more common than fully infused magic items.
Bookmark the random relic generator to generate your own list of random relics right at the game table.
Relics use all the same rules as their baseline spells. They trigger by using the same actions as the baseline spell. They follow the same rules for concentration. Caster levels, spell levels, saving throw DCs, and spell attack bonuses are listed along with the relic. No magical talent is required to use a relic. Anyone can use them.
Once a relic is used, the spell is expended and the item becomes useless. It cannot be recharged.
The magic of these relics is somewhat unstable. When more than three are placed near one another, one of them, determined randomly, is destroyed.
Alternative Rule: Relic Mishaps If you want something a bit more chaotic but somewhat harder to run at the table, use the spell failure table on page 140 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Every time a PC uses a relic, they must roll 1d6 and add the number of additional relics they carry to the roll. If the result is a 7, the relic bursts with energy and the DM rolls on the spell mishap table to see the result.
Relics add some chaos into the story of game. If we randomly add them to loot hoards or make them available in stores, we don't know which ones will end up in the hands of the PCs. We don't know when or how they might use them. It's quite possible our low level PCs will acquire a very powerful relic and that's perfectly fine. Since they can only use it once, it doesn't break anything outside of one scene. These relics may end up pushing your game in an entirely new direction and these directional changes might not be limited to the PCs.
Because relics are single-use, they flow out of the economy. This makes them somewhat scarce. They are also valuable. When they're for sale, it's usually for a lot of money. The cost of the relic is based on the spell level or the caster level if cast at a higher level than the base spell and uses the magic item cost table on page 135 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. As single-use items, the cost is halved.
It isn't generally expected that PCs would buy these items often. Most likely they'll end up in treasure hoards. When the PCs do visit a town or city, it is possible they'll find someone selling a relic. For the seller, the cost is a windfall. Very few could afford to buy such a thing and, for the owner, the cost might be enough for them to live out the rest of their lives in comfort if the relic is powerful enough.
Few common folk could afford to buy such things or have the need for it in the first place. This makes it hard for PCs to sell ones they find. Generally speaking, they could likely sell such a thing for 10% of the cost.
However, what if there is a larger system at work when it comes to the creation, distribution, buying, and selling of relics? What if there is an organization?
All over the land in secret towers and laboratories teams of wizard apprentices hone their craft infusing objects with magical power. These are then given over to the Artificer's Guild who distributes and sells them all over the land. None but the Artificer's Guild is permitted to buy or sell these relics. In any transaction taking place involving relics, either the buyer or seller must be a member of the Guild. Since these relics are only sold to those who can afford them, the relics often end up in the hands of nobility, rich inheritors, royalty, rulers of the land, and rich adventurers with little else upon which to spend their wealth.
Merchants of the Artificer's Guild can be found in any medium or larger city but only have three relics for sale at a time because of the volatility of the relics. Due to the doctrine of the Artificer's Guild, only one merchant may reside in any city.
Much of the Artificer's Guild is secret to outsiders. Few know their goals and aims. Due to the high costs and rarity of sales, merchants of the Guild are paid a salary rather than a commission. Any money a merchant makes on a relic is passed throughout the guild. Guild ambassadors work with wizard schools, historians, archaeologists, and adventuring groups to acquire new relics.
This Artificer's Guild can be dropped into any magical campaign world to add an entirely new layer to the economy that falls right into the daily activities of the world.
If you're running a Forgotten Realms campaign, you can tie the creation of relics to the Spellplague. The chaotic nature of the Spellplague created thousands of these artifacts all over Faerun and the Spellplague Artificer's Guild wants to control their distribution and figure out the secret to their creation.
The relic generator is built on Javascript with the sourcecode available at Github. There's also a single-item relic generator as well.
Relics serve a number of purposes. As a new variable to your campaign, you can use them in a variety of different ways. It might be the sort of thing you only drop in every so often. It also might be the entire basis for a campaign. Imagine the PCs caught up in the dangerous trade of the Artificer's Guild. Such strange items might be the entire core base for a world's political and economic forces. However you decide to use it, relics can add a new and interesting twist to your 5e D&D games. Enjoy!

Continuing the series of Frequently Asked Questions about the West Virginia Writers, Inc., Annual Writing Competitions. To see all of the questions, please click HERE.
QUESTION: I am planning to enter the Children's Book category and would like expanded definitions of the Picture/First Reader/ Middle Grade books. What is a Picture Book exactly? Or a First Reader? Or A Middle Grade book? Or Young Adult?
ANSWER: Great question.
Picture books are children's books that rely heavily on illustrations to help tell the story. They can have few words or many, but illustrations are a heavy component. Examples of this would be The Cat in the Hat, Where the Wild Things Are, and Walter the Farting Dog.
First Reader books are, according to KidLit.com, "the earliest "chapter" stories that a kid can get. They're very short in terms of manuscript length (1,500 words max) but are broken up into either chapters or vignettes that will give the reader the feeling of reading a book with real chapters in it. Your target audience for these is kids ages 4 to 8. Early readers feature a smaller trim size, some the size of or slightly bigger than a paperback novel, and can go from about 32 to 60 pages. The font size is smaller and they feature spot illustrations in either color or black and white instead of full color throughout, like a picture book. Some examples of early readers: LING AND TING: NOT EXACTLY THE SAME by Grace Lin (Little, Brown, 2010), the HarperCollins I Can Read! books, and the Random House Step Into Reading books."
Middle Grade books (which for 2018 we have combined with Young Adult for their own category) are, according to FromtheMixedUpFiles.com, "intended for readers ages 8-12, with the protagonist at the higher end of the age range. The reason for this: while an 8-year-old would have no problem reading about a 12-year-old protagonist, a 12-year-old may be reluctant to read a book about an 8-year-old. Subject Matter: MG readers are learning about who they are, what they think, and where they fit in. They do well with books they can relate to. They are still focused inward and the conflicts in MG books usually reflect this. The themes can range from school situations, friendships, relationships with peers and siblings, and daily difficulties that may seem ordinary to the rest of us. The parents are usually seen and have some sort of an influence. Kids at this age are also easily distracted, so you want a faster pace and short chapters. Word Count: Middle Grade used to be 20,000-40,000 words, some say around 50,000 words."
And while we're in the teen-lit topic area...
Young Adult books, according to FromtheMixedUpFiles.com "deal with underlying themes and more complicated plots. It allows teens to examine deeper issues, what their role in life is, the differences a person can make, the importance of relationships, coping with tragedy, etc. Protagonists are usually searching for their identity, figuring out who they are as an individual and where they fit in. These books generally are more gritty and realistic and the teens choices and actions drive the story. You see less parental influence. Young Adult word count is generally more around 55,000 to 80,000 words."
Young Adult books are combined with Middle Grade for 2018.

Update January 2020: This bike sold this past December. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc
In the wild world of rare sport bikes, we don't often feature items from The American Motor Company. Sure, we post the occasional Buell or EBR sportbike, but few H-D offerings really meet the category of RSBFS standards. That is why I am happy to share this wonderful XR1200 with readers. While the stock XR1200 is not all that exciting to the knee dragging set, this particular XR was a Cup bike, and retained all of its hot rodding and rowdiness even though it has been converted back into a street bike. Possibly the ultimate bike nite ride, commuter, canyon carver, track day weapon and conversation piece, this 2009 Harley Davidson XR1200 converted XR Cup machine is looking for a new home.
The XR Cup (officially known as the Vance and Hines XR1200 class) was an American one-design series meant to offer aspiring racers an affordable and approachable package and allow them to showcase their talents at a national level. The rulebook was simple and comprehensive. Take one stone stock XR1200. Remove lights and other DOT required safety items. Apply the XR Cup modification kit ($3,500, sold via V&H racing), which comprised the only allowable performance modifications. Upon inspection engines were sealed to prevent further modifications. Spoon on some sticky rubber and go racing. Figure about 530 pounds and 80-ish HP race ready. From 2010 until 2015 fans were thrilled by relatively full grids, tight racing, and amazing racecraft. Hearing a full field of XR1200s roar down a main straight – each rider trying to draft, jostle or otherwise elbow his way past – was truly a sight to see. In the end it was a successful foray; the fields were big, the crowds saw a great show, and some truly outstanding talent learned their craft.

The XR1200 series attracted both newer riders as well as some old hands. Unknowns competed alongside more featured names. Danny Eslick won the inaugural championship in 2010 before moving onwards and upwards. Participating in this series made stars out of riders; they were approachable, brave and heroic. Here is a video of the seller being interviewed in his native Canada. While not all of our readers can speak and understand French, enjoy the shots of the bike:
This is a pretty neat find and unlike many of the offerings you might find on RSBFS. This is a race bike with some history, while also being able to serve double duty as a street bike. It looks fantastic, will handle better than any stock HD you run across in your travels, and will out-handle many other motorcycles on the road, provided you are willing to give strong leverage to the wide bars, keep your momentum up, and avoid dragging hard parts. I can't imagine having more fun at a track day, or getting more attention from fellow riders. Good Luck!!

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil quits German national side amid accusations of racism
PUBLISHED: 20:04 22 July 2018 | UPDATED: 20:33 22 July 2018
Danny Loo Photography 2018
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has announced he is to quit playing for the German national side, slamming individuals at the country's football federation, accusing them of revealing their 'previously hidden racist tendencies'.
The 29-year-old German of Turkish descent retired from international duty as the fallout from his meeting with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues.
The mercurial Ozil had been criticised by the German Football Association for meeting Erdogan with team-mate Ilkay Gundogan ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer.
The star posted a three part statement on his personal Twitter account to his 23 million followers during Sunday – with the third tranche of his long explanation aimed at DFB president Reinhard Grindel, while accusing him of racism.
He said: "It is with a heavy heart and after much consideration that because of recent events, I will no longer be playing for Germany at international level whilst I have this feeling of racism and disrespect.
"I used to wear the German shirt with such pride and excitement but now I don't.
"This decision has been extremely difficult to make because I have always given everything for my team-mates, the coaching staff and the good people of Germany.
"But when high-ranking DFB officials treat me as they did, disrespect my Turkish roots and selfishly turn me into political propaganda, then enough is enough.
"That is now why I play football, and I will not sit back and do nothing about it.
"Racism should never, ever be accepted."
Ozil played for the mannschaft 92 times, notching 23 goals with 33 assists and was named DFB Player of the Year five times, winning the World Cup in 2014.
Ozil gave a superb display while starring in his country's never-to-be-forgotten 7-1 annihaltion of Brazil in the semi-final in Belo Horizonte that stunned millions of South American football fans.
It has been expected he would take an extended break rather than fly with Unai Emery's squad to Singapore where they will play two matches against PSG and Atletico Madrid this week as they gear up for the forthcoming 2018-19 season.
Ozil added; "While I attempted to explain to Grindel my heritage, ancestry and reasoning behind the photo [with Erdogan] he was far more interested in speaking about his own political views and belittling my opinion."
He went on to add: "Criticising and abusing me because of my family ancestry is a disgraceful line to cross" while accusing Grindel and some at the DFB of revealing their previously hidden racist tendencies."

EFCC arraigns Dr. Doyin Okupe in court over N702m fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Dr Doyin Okupe at the Federal High Court, Maitama.
Okupe, a former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, was arraigned before Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu on Monday in Abuja.
He was arraigned along with two companies, Value Trust Investment Ltd and Abrahams Telecoms Ltd, over allegations of fraud.
According to a statement from the anti-graft agency, Okupe was charged with 59 counts bordering on "money laundering and criminal diversion of funds" to the tune of N702 million.
One of the counts read: "That you, Dr Doyin Okupe, being the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan from July 2012 to May 2015, and being the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, and a signatory to the bank account of Abrahams Telecoms Ltd, on or about the 3rd October, 2014 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, directly took possession or control of the sum of N35 million, transferred to the account of Abrahams Telecoms Ltd from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser with the Central Bank of Nigeria purporting to be for special services when you reasonably ought to have known that the said fund formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity".
Okupe who is also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), however, pleaded "not guilty" to the charges.
Upon his plea, the prosecuting counsel, Ibrahim Audu, asked for a date for the commencement of the trial.
But Okupe's counsel, Tolu Babaleiye, through a motion on notice dated December 17, 2018, prayed the court to admit the defendant to bail.
He said, "The defendant will in no way tamper with evidence since the proof of evidence is before the court that means investigation has been concluded," he said.
After listening to both parties, Justice Ojukwu granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N100 million with one surety in like sum.

The path to purchase
A customer's or consumer's path to purchase may vary depending on industry, size of the business, category, brand or product/service.
Online purchases are rarely made spontaneously. There will be multiple triggers and motivators moving the customer or consumer along the path to purchase. Therefore, when evaluating the path to purchase it's important to understand the decisions that are made during this journey that ultimately lead to the purchase - essentially how a customer decides to buy and thereby become a consumer.
Your customer will go through several stages on their purchase journey and you want to be prepared for them every step of the way!
Businesses of all sizes can use the following model to think about how they communicate with customers and how they keep them close on each step of their journey.
At any one time, you will have customers at every stage of the purchasing process. Some people won't have heard of you before, while others will be comparing you to your competition because they are ready to purchase the product or service.
How long a customer spends at each step in the purchasing process depends on how complex or expensive the purchase is. For example, when you get hungry tonight and head out for a burger, your journey from AWARENESS to ACTION will be quick. However, if you are buying an expensive or high risk item that you don't buy often, your progress through the process will be much slower. For something like a car purchase, you could spend as long as 12 months researching and comparing products.
You should include multiple touch points - where the customer or consumer interacts with your brand or product - for all steps in the journey.
If you're just selling via an online shop, then your web, digital marketing and social presence should address each of the steps in the process.
If you have multiple touch points outside of the web, for example, a store or a sales team, then you should have a plan for how you communicate the benefits of your business each time a customer comes into contact with you.
Interest and evaluation of alternatives
When customers know they are 'in the market' for what you're selling, or they've found your website, then you need to keep them interested.
This stage is about building credibility. You are an expert, you have the solutions.
Your digital content needs to help the customer or consumer with their research and help them come to the conclusion that you can satisfy their needs better than the competition. Some ways this can be achieved are:
- Quality and informative website copy that tailors content to match what the customer or consumer is looking for
- Include customer ratings, testimonials and reviews on your website as this helps build your credibility and trust values
- E-books are a great way to educate and inform when dealing with high involvement products and services
- 'How-to' videos help demonstrate how easy your product or service is to use and they also provide comfort and familiarity with the products or services on offer
- Social proof can be established through blogging or other social network sites where you can ask customers to upload images and stories on how they have used your products or services and how they have helped solve their problems.
Once the customer decides to buy the product, make it easy for them by:
- Providing a phone number for customer service (if feasible)
- Making the shopping cart really clear and functional
- Providing freight times, costs and options
- Making the checkout process easy.
Keeping your customers engaged increases your chances of repeat purchase and it can provide you with valuable marketing advice.
Post sale, consider the following:
- Ask the customer for a review (either by email or online)
- Ask the customer for feedback on how they found your business
- Ask the customer to follow you on social media
- Send the customer eNewsletters with new product releases, news and special offers
- Invite the customer to join a VIP club for special discounts.

Your Contract
- Having things in writing can provide peace of mind during a stressful process: after a brief initial conversation, I will send you a contract outlining the details of my services. This document serves as an official agreement between all parties.
- Download a sample contract to check out the details.
Your Ceremony
- It is important that your ceremony reflects your personal values, your relationship, and the nature of your celebration.
- After signing the contract and consulting with you, I will craft a unique ceremony that fits your interests. Common ceremony elements are:
- Activities to mark the union: examples of these are sand-pouring, hand fasting, and ring-warming. Such activities can incorporate wedding guests, or can be of particular significance to the couple.
- Inclusion of children, families, or pets: Many couple have their families in mind when they decide to tie the knot, and wish to include them somehow in the ceremony. There are many options for this, such as giving children or family members the chance to speak during the ceremony, including their artwork as a part of the decor or invitations for the ceremony, or including special vows marking your family's commitment to each other.
- Personalized vows: Your vows can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. Some couples choose to share more personal vows with each other during a first look, and others decide to share complex and meaningful vows to each other during the ceremony. If you need help drafting these vows, this is something that I can help with, and the structure of the ceremony is designed based on your wishes and comfort.
- Quotations, readings, or songs: Many people choose to include artistic elements into the ceremony that represent their style, beliefs, and feelings. This is a beautiful way to celebrate the partnership between the couple.
Your Celebration
- Rehearsals: Many people choose to rehearse the ceremony before the big day. This can create peace-of-mind and allows for any last-minute adjustments for which the couple may wish.
- The Ceremony: I arrive early on the day of the wedding. It is one of the happiest moments to see the couple and guests as they attend the ceremony. After the ceremony, we sign the marriage license in the state you reside, and it will be shipped to the issuing county within one week.
