- Enhances digestion and elimination, helping reduce bloating and clear toxins in your body.
- Stimulates your metabolism to burn more calories throughout the day. Rebounding also supports metabolism more than other forms of cardio. Longer cardio sessions are thought to hinder weight-loss efforts due to extended periods of "breathlessness" – which you don't experience while rebounding.
- Lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which often go hand in hand with weight.
- Reduces cellulite in just a few months by increasing your body's lymphatic flow.
- Helps curb emotional eating. It does this by regulating your mood, providing feel- good hormones to prevent you eating when upset.
- Helps prevent and manage diabetes by lowering your blood sugar levels and improving the work of your insulin.
- Tightens your tummy by engaging your core in every movement. Rebounding also allows for many specific core moves.
- Is easy and portable. You can move your rebounder into any part of the house and use it whenever it suits you, with no commute.
- Can be used for burst training and HIIT, making it a more convenient way to get fit in a shorter amount of time.
- Has anti-inflammatory effects, thanks to the stimulation and draining of the lymphatic system.
- Increases self-confidence. Studies show that the simple act of exercise (rather than fitness from exercising) can help you believe that you look better.
- Strengthens the heart, by working the cardiovascular system.
- Helps circulate oxygen to tissues. If your tissues and cells do not get enough oxygen, every organ can be negatively impacted, especially the brain, heart, and kidneys.
- Aids lymphatic circulation. Your lymphatic and cardiovascular system work together to keep your blood and lymphatic fluid levels balanced and flush out toxins. Your lymphatic system also moves your immune cells throughout your body to create a defense against infections.
- Gives your body an increased G-force (or gravitational load). This improves your health and strengthens your musculoskeletal systems.
- Increases lung capacity.
- Lowers blood pressure. Rebounding helps your muscles contract, resulting in the rhythmic compression of veins and arteries. This helps move fluids more effectively through the body and back to the heart, helping to lower peripheral blood pressure.
- Increases stamina by boosting neurotransmitter production, which helps promote energy. Rebounding also increases endurance.
- Improves balance by increasing your brain's responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear.
- Improves the immune system by stimulating the action of red bone marrow and supporting the repair of tissue.
- Improves the endocrine system by getting rid of excess hormones and toxins. Rebounding is also a great way to correct a hormone imbalance.
- Improves the effects of strength training. People who rebound for 30 seconds between each set of weight lifting typically see 25% more improvement in their muscles after 12 weeks than those who don't.
- Reduces your risk of chronic disease. Rebounding helps improve insulin sensitivity, heart health, and body composition while decreasing blood pressure and blood fat. These benefits prevent you from increasing belly fat, which can boost your risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature death.
- Gives you antioxidant protection and increases your blood flow, helping protect the internal structure of your skin and delay signs of ageing.
- Improves sleep quality. Regular rebounding can help you relax, get a higher quality of sleep and stimulate your recovery processes while you sleep.
- Can help you quit smoking by limiting the intensity of your cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Can lower a man's risk of erectile dysfunction or improve the sexual function of men who are already affected by erectile dysfunction. For women, exercise can help increase sexual arousal.
- Reduces the urge to ruminate. Exercises like rebounding help prevent people from ruminating on past negative events by altering the blood flow to the areas in the brain that trigger people to repeat stressful thoughts over and over.
- Fights fatigue. You may feel tired immediately after rebounding, but in the long- run, rebounding increases the strength that is needed to keep fatigue at bay.
- Helps maintain functional independence, when practised regularly for 30 minutes a day.
- Reduces risk of cancer. Exercises like rebounding help lower your risk for developing a variety of different types of cancer. Studies have shown a 30-40% reduction in occurrences of breast cancer among women who participate in regular exercise.
- Supports arthritis management. Rebounding helps lubricate the joints with little impact, helping reduce the pain and stiffness that comes with this disease.
- Helps alleviate sluggish digestion and constipation. Rebounding on a regular basis helps encourage digestive health and is an excellent "treatment" for people who suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Reduces the risk of developing dementia, which increases with a sedentary lifestyle.
- Increases bone density and strength, reducing the risk of developing osteoporosis and therefore bone fractures.
- Reverses the impact of life-long stress. 30 minutes of rebounding can increase levels of calming brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It may also work on a cellular level to help reverse the toll that stress takes on the ageing process.
- Helps you live longer. Just 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week can increase your lifespan by 3.4 years.
- Reduces the risk of falls. Balance and muscle-strengthening activities like rebounding are important for reducing the risk of falling as you get older.
- Improves memory by boosting blood circulation to the brain, aiding in proper brain function.
- Slows muscle atrophy – an inevitable result of the ageing process.
- Improves posture. As the body ages, the curvature on the spine increases. Rebounding has been shown to help maintain proper body alignment and a strong posture.
- Offers relief from common pains that come with ageing, like neck pains, back pains, and headaches.
- Prevents edema by decreasing the amount of blood that pools in the cardiovascular system's veins.
- Helps rehabilitate existing heart problems and recovery from heart procedures by encouraging gentle, low-impact circulation.
- Encourages collateral circulation, which is important for seniors. This is the alternate path of circulation around a blocked artery or vein, such as a nearby blood vessel, which can help prevent strokes.
- Is easy on the joints. Rebounding has much less impact on joints and soft tissue than other exercises. When bouncing, pressure is more distributed throughout the body, whereas when walking or running, the pressure is mainly on the ankles.
My 10-year-old daughter loves the rebounder too and bounces daily. She's now progressed to an 18-minute class. She's a ballet dancer and the rebounder has helped her with her core strength which is so important for ballet. Plus, she has so much fun. Even my 13-year-old son has started using the rebounder.
Having a rebounder during lockdown this year has been priceless. It doesn't take up a lot of space, can be moved from room to room, is inexpensive and fun, and workouts can be downloaded and done at your convenience. Bonus! "
Finding time to exercise has been hard, I don't like gyms and jogging outside in the cold, dark winter has never been an option for me. But rebounding in the comfort of my own home, at a time I can squeeze in, has been just what I've needed. And although I don't always have the time to prep and cook the recipes suggested in Lisa's Elimin8 Programme, I've learned so much about which healthy ingredients to use as well as simple, healthy food swaps I can make.
I've also done some DNA tests with Lisa, which has helped a lot in terms of knowing what my body needs.
I really enjoy rebounding as it's all about pushing your limits and if you don't feel very energetic you can take it easy, but at least you're still moving and burning calories!"
- Ronalda Basson
At the start of the new year (2020) I wanted to quit some bad habits, namely smoking, and adopt some new, healthier habits – such as losing weight and getting fit. In Feb, I decided to quit smoking, and I'm so happy I did, but like most people, I began substituting smoking with snacking and picked up a few extra kgs. Then Lockdown happened and I thought it was the perfect time to get started with my 2020 fitness goals but while juggling work, family and home schooling, I still struggled with making rebounding and fitness a part of my daily routine.
While scrolling through social media, I kept seeing Lisas's bounti 8-Week Challenge and realised it was just for me. I decided to sign up make a commitment to my fitness and health and what an amazing journey it's been!
The first 3 days of the Elimin8 Programme was brutal for me, but then the magic happened, and I started to sleep better, feel more energetic and just have an overall feeling of "amazingness". I fell in love with the process and felt excited and motivated to bounce, which was both fun and challenging, and eat properly. I've always felt so blessed to be able to move my body and be active.
Lisa's challenge has been great because it allows you the time to make positive, lasting changes and form better habits. It also encourages you to be more mindful of what goes into your mouth. My results have been amazing with an overall 4.5kg loss so far. Although I haven't quite reached my goal weight, I'm well on my way to achieving it and feel so much better in my own skin. I'm happy to have kickstarted a happier healthier me..."
"I decided to take part in the 8-week bounti Challenge and do Lisa's Elimini8 Programme as I was really feeling down due to my health issues. Last year I snapped my ligament in my left foot which caused thrombosis (blood clots) in my legs. The clots then moved through my bloodstream into my lungs, which resulted in a serious pulmonary embolism. I had to go on blood thinning medication twice in the last year and a half, and I wasn't allowed to consume any fruits and vegetables, especially anything containing vitamin k – as this vitamin thickens the blood.
I felt depressed, had no energy, wasn't sleeping well, my skin wasn't good at all and I put on a lot of weight. During the lockdown, I was on Facebook and saw Lisa Raleigh rebounding pop up in my feed. I saved the post and went on with my day. Again, another post related to rebounding with a video popped up, so I decided to go onto Lisa's website to see what it was all about and when I read all the benefits of rebounding and how it can transform your life and health I decided to read some reviews and watch her videos on YouTube and Facebook. I also read some testimonials and decided then and there, that I needed to do something and make a change in my life.
I ordered my rebounder with accessories and workouts, which was something new as I've never bought anything online before.
When I received my rebounder, I decided I needed some additional motivation and thought about entering the bounti 8-week Challenge (which includes the Elimin8 Programme and a long-term eating plan). I knew that a challenge would help me to get started and feel more confident.
When I decided to start this journey, I didn't realise that I would fall in love with rebounding like I did and that I would love the lifestyle change.
It was difficult at first to adjust my diet as I'd fallen into bad eating habits, thanks to long work hours and would often skip meals. However, the Challenge taught me to be more conscious of my daily routine and what I ate. I started to enjoy fresh, healthy food more and felt less tired and bloated.
After a couple of days, I could see a difference in my skin too. During the Elimini8 Programme, I grew my own sprouts from scratch to add to my meals and made fruit and vegetable smoothies for breakfast. I loved Lisa's seed loaf as it kept me full for most of the day.
I started off with a beginner rebounding plan but could soon do more than just one workout.
I hopped on the rebounder when I got home from work and loved it. I sweated a lot and felt amazing after each class. I also started to sleep better had more energy and felt less congested throughout winter. Now, I feel so much healthier!
This was a life changing experience for me and the beginning of a healthier and happier me!"
"I started rebounding six weeks after having my baby, and wasn't sure what to expect, but I'd been watching Lisa on social media and seeing the benefits of rebounding. I also read Lisa's postpartum story, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Initially I was shocked! I felt my body working hard the first time I bounced and started seeing results soon after. Fitness-wise, I've done everything under the sun... yoga, Pilates, Pure barre, CrossFit, kickboxing and running – although I'm not a fan of running.
However, I knew I needed to do more cardio activities. So, when I heard that 2 minutes of rebounding is equivalent to 6 minutes of running, I was all in.
I've always been fit and have managed to keep excess weight off to a certain point, but then it became so hard to keep my weight in check. Rebounding has changed all that!
I've never seen and experienced the results I have with rebounding with any other exercise. I was shocked at how it targeted all my major muscle groups in one. My core has never been this strong, I can also balance for longer, and stand more confidently thanks to all the improvements I've noticed with my posture. I feel firm and tight.
Rebounding has also helped my body get rid of toxins, which is a great bonus.
Now, I'm not nervous to have another baby because I know that rebounding will help me lose the excess baby weight quickly. You have to experience it for yourself!"
Being passionate about my career, as well as having two little children made it difficult for me to find time to go to the gym. And if I did get to the gym, I lacked direction to achieve my goals and couldn't afford a personal trainer – which left me feeling demotivated.
But Lisa Raleigh's 8-Week bounti Challenge solved all my problems! It allowed me the convenience to train at home - even if that meant after the kids were asleep, plus it gave me the direction I needed thanks to the online classes and Elimin8 Programme, which helped me cut out all the unnecessary non-nutritious foods and sugars in my diet.
I've happily trained daily for 30-60 minutes and have really enjoyed how my body feels, with little to no old injury aggravations. Rebounding is so much fun that it hardly feels like "work", yet I've really reaped the rewards in the past 8 weeks - mind, body and soul! My husband was also motivated by my commitment and has adopted the eating and training mentality and has lost 6kg and loads of centimetres – so the healthy bug has bit us both and we are both enjoying our new form."

4 floors over a railway bridge into very dirty water and my leg split open due to the impact from the hit against the curve of the bridge.
I also do Bikram yoga for the stretch and strength to compliment my running.
I look forward to rebounding every day. My body improves constantly from my neck, arms, abs etc. I also sleep so well afterwards, which is possibly from the toxin reduction and lymph drainage. Everyone should have one!"
I am happy to report that only 15-20 minutes daily on my rebounder has shown tremendous results! I've noticed changes in my body composition and strength after just a few workouts. Lisa shows how practical the rebounder is in terms of time management, ease of use and efficacy. And the great thing is that you don't have to be in shape when you start. I wish I had a rebounder after each of my pregnancies – I can imagine what an asset it would have been for me.

Ricin letter sent to Obama; suspicious packages, envelopes reported on Capitol Hill
Letters sent to President Barack Obama and a Mississippi senator tested positive for poisonous ricin in preliminary checks Wednesday, and authorities chased reports of other suspicious mail at a U.S. Capitol already on edge.
An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said the letters to Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., were postmarked Memphis, Tenn. Both letters say: "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance." Both are signed, "I am KC and I approve this message."
Those letters were intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate. The FBI said more testing was underway. Preliminary tests often show false positives for ricin.
As authorities scurried to investigate at least three questionable packages discovered in Senate office buildings, reports of suspicious letters also came in from senators' state offices in Arizona and Michigan. Staff members were cautioned away from parts of the Capitol complex as police ramped up security. After a couple of mid-day hours of jangled nerves, Capitol officials signaled it was safe to move throughout the complex and lawmakers and their staff settled back to normal, if watchful, activity.
There was no immediate information from Capitol police about the contents of the suspicious packages.
The activity came as tensions were high in Washington and across the country following Monday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170. The FBI said there was no indication of a connection between the letters and the bombing. The letters to Obama and Wicker were postmarked April 8, before the marathon.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that police have a suspect in mind in the Wicker mailing, someone who "writes a lot of letters to members." She made the comment Tuesday as she emerged from a briefing by law enforcement on the Boston bombing. Authorities declined to comment on a possible suspect.
Obama's press secretary, Jay Carney, said mail sent to the White House is screened at a remote site for the safety of the recipients and the general public. He declined to comment on the ricin testing, referring questions to the FBI.
At a House hearing, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said there have been ricin scares since the 2001 anthrax mailings and procedures are in place to protect postal employees and government offices.
"Over the course of years we've had some situations where there have been ricin scares," Donahoe said. "Until this date, there's never been any actually proved that have gone through the system."
After the hearing, Donahoe said he didn't know whether the latest letters had been proven to contain ricin. He also told reporters that people sometimes mail substances that mimic the poison.
Despite the increased police presence in some areas, and some staffers cautioned to stay in their offices, normal business continued across most of the Capitol and its office buildings, with tour groups passing through as usual and visitors streaming in and out of Wicker's office.
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terence Gainer said in an email that suspicious packages were dropped off at the offices of two senators. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said in a statement his office had received one of them.
A third package was found in an atrium on the first floor of a Senate building. A man who delivered at least two of the packages was being questioned, Gainer said, as Capitol police swiftly ramped up security and temporarily advised people to avoid parts of the office buildings.
Both the letters to Wicker, R-Miss., and to Obama were intercepted at off-site mail facilities. The FBI said the letters were undergoing further, more conclusive testing. Ricin, derived from the castor plant, is at its deadliest when inhaled.
As the discoveries spread concern, police sealed off a hearing room where Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were testifying. At one point, officers advised Sen. Joe Manchin and aides not to board an elevator because suspicious packages had been found on several floors of the Hart Office Building. "They just told me there's something suspicious and they're looking into it," Manchin said.
Amy Keough of Stow, Mass., and her family were searching for an open entrance to the Russell Senate Office building and walked by a U.S. Capitol Police hazardous materials vehicle. The Keoughs have been visiting Washington for several days, but Monday's marathon bombing was on their minds.
"We don't know really what it is that's going on," Keough said. "We're from Massachusetts, so right now anything is possible, with all the events in Boston."
Sen. Carl Levin issued a statement saying an aide in his Saginaw, Mich., office had received a suspicious-looking letter. "The letter was not opened, and the staffer followed the proper protocols for the situation, including alerting the authorities, who are now investigating," the Michigan Democrat said in a statement.
Authorities also are investigating two suspicious letters that were sent to the Phoenix office of Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., police said. Emergency crews in hazardous materials gear were seen outside the building.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there's a rapid detection test for ricin that takes 6 to 8 hours, but the more complete test — the ricin toxin test — takes about 48 hours to perform.
Associated Press writers Connie Cass, Dave Espo, Donna Cassata, Henry Jackson, Pauline Jelinek, Richard Lardner, Alan Fram, Ken Thomas, Jim Abrams, Andy Taylor, Seth Borenstein and Eric Tucker contributed to this report.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
Cosmetic & General Dentistry
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
Emergency Dental Care
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
Implant Dentistry
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral Health
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
Oral Hygiene
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
Oral Surgery
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
Pediatric Dentistry
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
Periodontal Therapy
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
Kids who take part in athletic activities — whether they're playing on organized sports teams, bicycling, or just kicking a ball around — gain a host of well-documented health benefits. Yet inevitably, along with all the fun, the sense of achievement, and the character-building features of athletics, the possibility of injury exists. Does this mean your kids shouldn't play sports? Of course not! But it makes sense to learn about the risks involved, and to take appropriate precautions.
How prevalent are sports-related dental injuries? In 2012, the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation forecast that more than 3 million teeth would be knocked out in youth sporting events that year! Among all the dental injuries we treat in children, it is estimated that over 25% are sports-related, and the majority of these involve the top front teeth.
Besides the immediate trauma, sports-related injuries can result in time lost from school and work, and substantial cost — up to $20,000 over a lifetime to treat a missing permanent tooth. Yet there's a simple and relatively inexpensive way to reduce the chance of dental injury in children: A properly-fitted, comfortable mouthguard, worn whenever playing sports where the possibility of orofacial injury exists.
Use the Right Equipment
You wouldn't let your child play football without a helmet and protective padding, right? Yet it might surprise you to know that kids playing basketball are 15 times more likely to sustain injuries to the mouth or face than football players! Mandatory mouthguards are one reason for that: More American kids wear mouth protection for football than any other sport, which has resulted in a dramatic drop in injuries.
Mouthguards are required in only four school-based sports: football, ice hockey, lacrosse, and field hockey. Yet basketball and baseball are associated with the largest number of dental injuries. Other sports for which the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends wearing a mouthguard include bicycling, soccer, skateboarding, wrestling and volleyball. Do mouthguards work? The ADA estimates that athletes who don't wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to suffer dental injury than those who do.
What Type of Mouthguard Is Best?
The best mouthguard for your child is the one he or she actually wears, both at practice and on game day. There are several different types of mouthguards on the market, which generally fall into three categories:
- An "off-the-shelf" mouthguard. Available at many sporting goods stores, this type comes in a limited range of sizes, and varies widely in quality. The least expensive option, it offers a minimal level of protection that's probably better than nothing. It generally must be clenched in the mouth, which can make wearing it uncomfortable and cause trouble breathing and speaking.
- The "boil and bite" mouthguard. These are designed to be immersed in hot water, and then formed in the mouth using finger, tongue and bite pressure. When they can be made to fit adequately, they generally offer better protection than the first type—but they may still be uncomfortable, and usually fail to offer full coverage of the teeth.
- A custom-made mouthguard. This is a piece of quality sports equipment that is custom fabricated for your child's mouth. How? Molds or impressions of your child's teeth will be made and then tough, resilient, high quality materials are perfectly fitted to that impression. This type of mouthguard offers your child maximum protection and a superior level of comfort — and its cost is quite reasonable.
At the present time, when top-quality sports equipment for kids can run in the hundreds of dollars, it makes more sense than ever to invest in the proven protection of a professionally made, custom-fitted mouthguard.

Back End Typically, the third and skip.
Back Line The line tangent to the back edge of the 12 foot ring of the house. Rocks which have completely crossed this line are out of play and removed from the sheet.
Back of the House The portion of the house behind between the tee line and the back line.
Barrier weight See Board Weight, below.
Biter A rock which just barely touches the house. When seen from the side, the stone may not appear to be in the house, but when viewed from above or measured with a biter bar, is touching the 12 foot rings. Although as far from the center of the house as possible, biters have a bad habit of coming back to bite you.
Biter Bar/Stick Measuring stick which may be used to determines if outlying rocks are in the house. A point on one end of the biter bar is inserted into a post in the center of the button and the bar is pivoted around the edge of the house. If it touches a rock, the rock is in the house, regardless of whether or not it appears to be touching the painted rings. Unlike the paint of the house rings, which may vary slightly from regulation width, a biter bar is the official width of the house.
Blank End An end in which no rocks are in the house and neither team scores. Blanking an end may be accidental or a deliberate strategic move. The team which had hammer in the blanked end retains hammer in the following end.
Board Weight A shot (typically a takeout) that is thrown with just enough weight to come to rest at or just beyond the backboard. Also called bumper weight or barrier weight.
Bumper Weight See Board Weight, above.
Bonspiel A curling tournament. Several meanings and origins of the name have been claimed.
Broom A synthetic brush used to sweep in front of a rock so that it travels farther and "straighter" and as a stabilizing device when delivering a rock.
Brushing see Sweeping
Burn To touch one of your own rocks with your body or equipment while it is traveling down the sheet. A rock burned between the hog lines is immediately stopped and removed from play. A rock that is burned beyond the far hog line is allowed to continue until it comes to a stop, when the person from the opposing team who is in charge of the house determines what to do with the rock. S/he may choose to remove the rock from play, move it to where s/he thinks the rock would have come to rest if not burned, or leave the rock where it came to rest.
Button The center of the house, surrounded by the 4 foot, 8 foot, and 12 foot rings, and bisected by the center line and tee line. The button is typically 2 feet in diameter.
Call Line To indicate to sweepers whether or not to sweep to affect the line of travel of a rock. Sweeping keeps a rock going in the same direction it was traveling when sweeping began for a longer period of time. Although typically, we speak of sweeping as making a rock go straighter, if it has already begun to curl sharply, sweeping will not "straighten it out" back to its original line of delivery. The person in charge of the house (typically tne skip or vice-skip) calls line.
Center Line The line which runs the length of a sheet and divides the sheet in half.
Christmas Tree An arrangement of stones near to far, such that, when viewed from the hack each stone half-overlaps and guards the one behind it, an arrangement that resembles half of a Christmas Tree. The rear-most stones arranged in this manner cannot be doubled out, or any one stone removed from play without the shooter rolling out of play. The term was popularized by six-time Canadian Women's Champion Colleen Jones.
Come Around A shot which curls around another stone. May be a hit or a draw.
Control Zone The area in front of the tee line within 2 feet of the center line. Most scoring takes place within the control zone. The team with hammer attempts to keep the control zone clear for their last shot; teams without hammer try to "clutter it up" with rocks, making it more difficult for the team with hammer to score.
Counter A rock that scores, i.e. a rock that is closer to the center of the house than any of the opponent's stones.
Courtesy Lines Two 6-inch lines 4 feet inside the hog lines between which players should stand when their team is not delivering a rock.
Curl The curving action of a rock that is delivered down a curling sheet. The amount of curl is determined by a combination of the speed of rotation and weight of a delivered rock and ice conditions.
Delivery Throwing a stone. See the Curling school primer on the current delivery technique.
Directional Sweeping A sweeping technique, usually accomplished by a single sweeper, brushing at an angle to the rock's path, to help steer the stone in a desired direction. The swept stone curls more in the direction of the angled sweeping than if not swept.
Double Takeout A curling shot that removes two rocks from play, usually both opponent's rocks.
Draw A curling shot designed to stay in play. Draws may guard other rocks, hide behind rocks, freeze to rocks, or just sit out in the open.
Eight-Ender An end in which all eight rocks of one team score, i.e. all of one teams rocks are closer to the center of the house than all the opponents rocks. A rare occurrence.
End A period of play in which both teams deliver all 8 of their rocks. Games typically are 6, 8, or 10 ends.
Extra End If a game is tied at the end of the regular number of ends, play continues until one team scores at least one point and wins the game.
Fall A place in the ice where rocks do not travel a normal path, but move quickly away from the intended line, most typically toward the outside of the sheet.
Fast Ice Ice over which rocks travel farther than they would when delivered with the same weight on slow ice.
Five-Rock Rule Curling rule adopted in 2018 that prohibits removing stones in the Free Guard Zone from play until the first five stones of each end are thrown. Between 2002-2017, curling used a Four-Rock Rule. The Five Rock Rule encourages teams to put more rocks in play each end.
Flash To completely miss a shot, usually a takeout, and pass completely through the house without touching other rocks.
FLB A "friendly" little biter. Curlers have been known to use alternate adjectives for "friendly."
Four-Foot Lines Two lines which run the between the hog lines, 2 feet to either side of the center line.
Free Guard Zone The area outside the house. Any of the first 5 rocks of the game (the leads' rocks) beyond the far hog line and outside the house (i.e. in the free guard zone) may not be removed from play by the opposing team until the 5th rock (the second's first rock) is thrown.
Freeze A draw shot that comes to rest against another rock without moving it.
Front End The lead and second.
Front of the House The portion of the house in front of the tee line.
Frost Buildup (often sandpapery) on ice surface usually caused by high humidity in the ice shed. Frost tends to make stones travel less distance and curl less. Frost also makes sweepers work harder!
Gassed To inadvertently throw a shot (much) heavier than required, as in "He gassed a draw to the button in the last end."
Gripper A rubber covering pulled over the slide foot when sweeping to provide better traction. Also, the permanent rubber sole on the non-sliding shoe.
Guard A rock delivered in front of the house so that it is directly in line with but a distance above another rock, thus protecting it from a hit by the opposing team. Also, a rock delivered in front of the house so that rocks thrown later can "hide" behind the guard rock. Guards are crucial to scoring; Leads throw many guards.
Hack Device in the ice 6 feet behind the back line which a curler uses as a toehold while delivering a rock. The non-slide foot is braced against the hack. See the Curling school primer on the current delivery technique.
Hack Weight A shot (typically a takeout) that is thrown with just enough weight to come to rest at or just beyond the hacks.
Hammer The last rock thrown in an end. Teams with the hammer have the last chance to score in any end. The hammer belongs to the team that did not score in the previous end.
Handle The rotation that a curler puts on a rock during delivery. Rocks that stop rotating part way down the ice are said to have "lost their handle". Rocks that are accidentally delivered without rotation are said to have "no handle". Rocks without a handle are unpredictable in their curl and the distance traveled.
Hard!/Harder! A call from the skip to the sweepers to sweep faster and with more pressure. Also Hurry!
Heavy To throw a rock with more weight (force) than required for the called shot. Heavy rocks will travel farther than desired.
High To hit a rock high is to strike a stationary stone off-center on the side from which the thrown rock is curling.
Hit A curling shot designed to strike another rock with enough force to move the target rock. The target rock may be removed from play or moved a short distance to the advantage of the shooting team.
Hit and Roll A shot that hits a rock and then moves across the sheet to a desired location, usually behind a guard. A hit and roll typically takes out an opponents rock.
Hit and stick A shot that hits a rock and remains in the place where it hit the rock.
Hog To throw a rock with insufficient weight (force) to completely cross the far hog line. Hogged rocks are immediately removed from play.
Hog Lines Two lines which run across the sheet 21 feet beyond the tee line.
House The target area at each end of a curling sheet.
Hurry! A call from the skip to the sweepers to sweep faster and with more pressure. Also Hard!
Ice The distance between the target broom and the desired final location of a shot.
In-off A double take-out which removes an opponents or one's own rock, usually on the outer ring or outside the house, then rolls into the house to remove or displace an opponent's rock to score. An extreme, exciting, and very difficult variation of a hit and roll.
In-turn A clockwise turn for a right-handed curler (counterclockwise for a left-handed curler).
Inside To throw the rock off the target broom (miss) in the same direction as the intended curl.
Ladder System at the Utica Curling Club by which skips progress from leagues with teams skipped by less experienced skips (i.e. lower on the ladder) up to the top of the ladder. Men's and Women's rules determine which skips move up, which stay in the same league, and which move down after a league is finished for the year.
Last Rock see Hammer.
Lead The person on the team who throws the first rock. In the U.S., typically the person who tosses the coin to determine which team has last rock in the first end. Part of the front end.
Light To throw an rock with less weight (force) than was called for.
Line The path traveled by a rock. The person in the house calls line, i.e. provides the target and calls sweeping to keep the rock on the desired path.
Low To hit a rock low is to strike a stationary stone off-center on the opposite side from which the thrown rock is curling.
Measuring Stick Used to determine which of two or more stones is closest to the button when it can't be determined visually.
Mixed Curling in which teams consist of two men and two women. Positions alternate genders (i.e. if the lead is female, the second will be male, third female, and skip male).
Mixed Doubles Curling in which teams consist of one man and one women. Rules of play involve placement of starting rock for each end. See USCA and WCF rules for more details.
Narrow see Inside.
Negative Ice Ice condition in which the skip places the target broom on the opposite side of the final location than would normally be used for the called turn. Negative ice is typically employed for some shots on ice with a significant fall.
Nip To remove the very top of the pebble; evens the tops so that rocks glide faster.
No Handle see Handle.
Normal Weight A takeout that is thrown with fairly heavy weight and is typically agreed-upon for a team. This takeout weight is heavier than hack weight and board weight.
Off! A call from the skip to the sweepers to stop sweeping. Also Up! or Whoa! or No!
Off the Broom The person delivering the rock has missed the target broom. A rock thrown too far towards the direction of curl is said to be inside or narrow; if too away from the direction of curl, it is outside or wide.
On the Broom The person delivering the rock has thrown directly at the target broom.
Out-turn A counterclockwise turn for a right-handed curler (clockwise for a left-handed curler).
Outside To throw the rock off the target broom (miss) in the opposite direction as the intended curl.
Pebble Small droplets of water that are sprinkled on the ice, freezing on contact. Pebble reduces the area of contact of a rock with the ice (and reduces friction).
Peel A shot which removes an opponents rock and then spins out of play. Typically used to clear rocks in blocking access to the control zone and/or to clear away any rocks that an opponent might "hide behind".
Peel Weight A takeout that is thrown with very heavy weight so as to ensure that both the shooter and a target rock both roll out of play, or to move or take out several stones at once.
Pick Occurs when a rock hits or picks up some small debris left on the ice surface. A pick will cause a rock to change direction, handle, or both.
Pin The center of the button. Designed to accept measuring equipment.
Promote To bump a rock a short distance, typically so that it's in a more favorable position. Also Tap up/back or Raise.
Port An opening between 2 rocks wide enough for a rock to pass through.
Raise To bump a rock a short distance, typically so that it's in a more favorable position. Also Promote or Tap up/back.
Raise Take-out A shot involving 3 rocks. The thrown rock hits the second rock, raising it into the third rock, which is pushed out of play.
Reading the Ice The act of noticing how various parts of the ice react during a game. Where does it run fast or slow; swing more or less? Where have more rocks traveled (or not) on the ice? Are there any runs or falls? The responsibility of all team members: the person delivering the rock, so s/he knows how much weight to throw; the sweepers so they know whether or not to sweep, and the players in charge of the house, so they know how much ice to give for the desired shot.
Right Off! A call from the skip to the sweepers to stop sweeping. More urgent than No!, Up!, Off!, or Whoa! Can indicate that sweepers missed a previous call by the skip, or that in a dialogue between skip and sweepers about a conflicting need to sweep for weight (sweepers) and not to sweep for line (skip), the skip has decided that line is more important than weight for that shot.
Rings see House.
Rink A curling team, named for the skip. Also, the area where the curling sheet is housed.
Rocks The object thrown or delivered by curlers during a game. Rocks, or stones, are made of granite and weigh between 38 and 44 pounds.
Roll The sideways movement of a rock after it hits another rock off center.
Rotation Clockwise or counterclockwise spin imparted to a rock upon delivery. A rock typically rotates 2.5 to 3.5 times when traveling the sheet. Also called Turn.
Run A place in the ice where rocks do not travel a normal path because of a depression or trough in the ice. Rocks run straighter than expected in a run.
Runback A takeout shot where a guard or a stone in the front of the house is raised straight back into another rock to remove it.
Running Surface The portion of a curling rock which makes contact with the ice surface. The running surface is a circular ridge, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide.
Scrape To remove ice layers until all sheets are level. Scraping removes old layers of pebble and any dirt. After a scrape, ice is faster than before the scrape.
Second The team member who throws the 3rd and 4th rocks. Part of the front end.
Sheet The field of play for curling, approximately 150 feet long and 15 feet wide.
Shot/Shot Rock The rock that is closer to the center of the house than any other rock. The second shot is second closest to the center of the house, etc.
Side Lines Lines down the length of the ice that are the side boundaries of a curling sheet.
Skip The team member who calls the game: making final strategy decisions, determining shots, and holding the target broom for teammates. Commonly, the skip throws the 7th and 8th rocks, but many skips throw in other positions. Part of the back end.
Slash A raise takeout shot where the raised stone is struck so that it caroms off at an angle to remove another stone from play, e.g. a slash double, in which the raised rock and the rock it strikes are both removed.
Slider The slippery surface on the sole of the slide shoe. Typically made of Teflon; metal and brick sliders are also made. Alternatively, a shoe-shaped piece of Teflon that can be attached temporarily to the slide foot.
Slow Ice Ice over which rocks travel less distance than they would when delivered with the same weight on fast ice. Also called heavy ice.
Spinner A rock that has been given too much rotation upon delivery. Spinners do not curl as much as rocks thrown with the proper amount of rotation.
Stabilizer A delivery aid gripped in the hand not holding the rock, used as an alternative to a broom. Pejoratively, referred to as a "crutch."
Stack the Brooms To socialize with your team and opponents. In social leagues, can occur as a break during a game; more typically, occurs after a game.
Steal To score in an end without the hammer.
Stick A delivery aid for persons who cannot perform the "standard" delivery. The stick has a fitting at one end which fits over the handle of the rock. Stick curlers either stand to deliver their rocks, or are in wheelchairs. Also see Hit and Stick.
Stones The object thrown or delivered by curlers during a game. Stones, or rocks, are made of granite and weigh between 38 and 44 pounds.
Straight Ice Ice on which a rock, given a normal rotation, will curl less than expected - less than 3 feet.
Sweep A call from the skip to the sweepers to sweep. Also Yes. See Hurry and Hard.
Sweeping To move a curling broom back and forth in front of a moving rock. Sweeping is most effective when done quickly and with weight. Sweeping transiently alters the ice surface to reduce the friction between the rock and the ice surface. The rock travels farther and curls less.
Swingy Ice Ice on which a rock, given a normal rotation, will curl more than expected - more than 4 feet.
Take-out A rock which hits another rock, removing the second rock from play. Hits vary in weight, depending on how far the target rock needs to be moved and how straight the hitting rock needs to run.
Tap Back/Up A gentle hit, in which the thrown rock moves the hit rock a short distance. Tap backs may be used to move your own rock into a favorable position, or to move an opponent's rock to a position useful for your team. Also Promote or Raise.
Tee The center of the house. In the early days of curling, it was marked with a vertical post (the tee) to help the player delivering to aim. See Pin.
Tee Lines The lines crossing the width of a curling sheet through the center of the house (the tee).
Third The team member who throws the 5th and 6th rocks. Typically, the third is also the vice-skip, and is in charge of the house when the skip throws. Part of the back end.
Tick Shot A shot called so as to barely nick a stationary stone in play and move it aside. Frequently used in late ends by the team with the hammer to move center guards away from the center of the sheet, but not remove them from play, which would violate the free guard zone rule.
Tight see Inside.
Triple A shot which removes from play 3 of the opposing teams rocks.
Turn see Rotation.
Up! A call from the skip to the sweepers to stop sweeping. Also Whoa! or No!
Vice/Vice-skip The team member who is in charge of the house when the skip throws, holding the broom and call line. The vice-skip is also commonly the third. In Canada, may also be known as the Mate, and typically the person who tosses the coin to determine which team has last rock in the first end. Part of the back end.
Weight Typically used to indicate how hard a stone has been thrown. Heavy rocks travel farther, faster, and straighter; light rocks travel less distance, slower, and curl more than heavy rocks.
Weld it On To throw a perfect freeze.
Wick A shot in which the moving rock ticks the edge of a stationary rock, causing it to change direction. Sometimes called a Redirect.
Whoa! A call from the skip to the sweepers to stop sweeping. Also Up! or Off! or No!
Wide see Outside.
Yes! A call from the skip to the sweepers to sweep. Also Sweep. See Hurry and Hard.

One way is a cash-out refinance of your Goodland mortgage. The cash-out refi allows you to refinance your first mortgage with a loan greater than the mortgages current balance but less than the property's value. The difference is yours as a lump sum cash payment that can be used for any purpose.

Refinancing your Goodland mortgage now could enable you to qualify for a lower interest rate. Refinancing your Goodland home loan into a lower rate could enable you to save on your monthly mortgage payment or even enable you to pay off your mortgage loan faster.
• Shorten the Length of Mortgage : You may have started out with a 30 or even 40 year mortgage. However, a significant decrease in Goodland mortgage rates can enable you to refinance into a shorter loan without much of an increase in monthly mortgage payments. Paying off your Goodland home loan faster with a lower rate will save you over the life of the loan on interest savings alone.
• Removing PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) : Were you unable to come up with a 20% down payment when you purchase your home in Goodland, KS? If so you probably had to pay PMI on your mortgage. With enough appreciation in home value you may be able to refinance your Goodland mortgage and remove the PMI.

NEW BATAAN, Philippines (AP) — Stunned parents searching for missing children examined a row of mud-stained bodies covered with banana leaves while survivors dried their soaked belongings on roadsides Wednesday, a day after a powerful typhoon killed more than 280 people in the southern Philippines. Officials fear more bodies may be found as rescuers reach hard-hit areas that were isolated by landslides, floods and downed communications. At least 151 people died in the worst-hit province of Compostela Valley when Typhoon Bopha lashed the region Tuesday, including 78 villagers and soldiers who perished in a flash flood that swamped two emergency shelters and a military camp, provincial spokeswoman Fe Maestre said. About 80 people survived the deluge in New Bataan town with injuries, but between 50 and 319 others remain missing, according to varying estimates by government officials and the army. The farming town of 45,000 people was a muddy wasteland of collapsed houses and coconut and banana trees felled by Bopha's ferocious winds. On a roadside, dozens of mud-stained bodies were laid side-by-side, covered by cloth and banana leaves and surrounded by villagers. A man sprayed insecticide on the remains to keep away swarms of flies. A father wept when he lifted a plastic cover and found the body of his child. A mother, meanwhile, went away in tears, unable to find her missing children. "I have three children," she said repeatedly, flashing three fingers before a TV cameraman. Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, who visited the devastated town, said a day of searching by soldiers and volunteers did not turn up any of the 319 people reported missing in New Bataan. "These were whole families among the registered missing," Roxas told the ABS-CBN TV network. "Entire families may have been washed away." In nearby Davao Oriental, the coastal province first struck by the typhoon as it blew inland from the Pacific Ocean, at least 115 people perished, mostly in three towns that were so battered that it was hard to find any buildings with roofs remaining, provincial officer Freddie Bendulo and other officials said. "We had a problem where to take the evacuees. All the evacuation centers have lost their roofs," Davao Oriental Gov. Corazon Malanyaon said. Disaster-response agencies reported 13 other typhoon-related deaths elsewhere. Unlike the previous day's turbulent weather, the sun was shining brightly Wednesday, prompting residents to lay their soaked clothes, books and other belongings out on roadsides to dry and revealing the extent of the damage to farmland. Thousands of banana trees in one Compostela Valley plantation were toppled by the wind, the young bananas still wrapped in blue plastic covers. After slamming into Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, Bopha roared quickly across the southern Mindanao and central regions, knocking out power in two entire provinces, triggering landslides and leaving houses and plantations damaged. More than 170,000 fled to evacuation centers. The typhoon, one of the strongest to hit the country this year, had blown past southwestern Palawan province into the South China Sea by midday Wednesday and could head to either Vietnam or southern China, according to government forecasters. The deaths came despite efforts by President Benigno Aquino III's government to force residents out of high-risk communities as the typhoon approached. Some 20 typhoons and storms lash the northern and central Philippines each year, but they rarely hit the vast southern Mindanao region. A rare storm in the south last December killed more than 1,200 people and left many more homeless. The United States extended its condolences and offered to help its Asian ally deal with the typhoon's devastation. It praised government efforts to minimize the deaths and damage. Associated Press writers Jim Gomez, Teresa Cerojano and Oliver Teves in Manila contributed to this report. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

Many people assume that books for young children need – or at least benefit from – pictures. But is it true? Canadian scholar Perry Nodelman writes that many parents and teachers think that children respond more readily to pictures than to words:
"Yet there is no irrefutable psychological or pedagogical reason that young children should be told the vast majority of their [stories] through combinations of words and pictures. Indeed, there is evidence that the presence of pictures in books may be pedagogically counterproductive; in a study of young children beginning to learn to read, the psychologist S. Jay Samuels confirmed his hypothesis 'that when pictures and words are presented together, the pictures would function as distracting stimuli and interfere with the acquisition of reading responses'… and presumably, therefore, of the story information that texts convey. Given the opportunity, as were most children prior to the last century and as some modern children in developing countries still are, many young children find it possible to enjoy listening to or reading books without illustrations."
Perry Nodelman in Words About Pictures: The Narrative Art of Children's Picture Books (University of Georgia Press, 1988). Words About Pictures is an excellent reference book for critics, scholars and others and perhaps the best available study of the relationship between words and pictures in children's picture books.

About a year ago, I started spying on the HackLibSchool project. Anonymously peeking at the original Google doc, figuring out how to use Twitter so I could see what the big deal was, reading other students blogs. I had no clue what I was doing online then, I was just fumbling along, trying to figure out how to be an internet person. I've learned so much in the course of a year and it's all because of this blog. I never thought of myself as a blogger, but I was kicking around so many ideas in my head that I thought I could try. I knew that I wanted to write a guest post for Hack Library School, so I wrote about developing an online brand because that's what I was attempting to do. When Micah asked me to join HLS as a writer, I was shocked and excited. Getting involved in this project has meant so much to me as a student and a burgeoning librarian. I've met and collaborated with an awesome group of people with whom I can brainstorm with. We've really built a diverse network that extends beyond our time in school.
Continuing this blog without the OG Hacker is quite the task. Micah's role as founder and leader of this group is monumental and it is my hope that we can continue the tradition of excellence. We've brought on an active and engaged team of writers who are ready to hit the ground running.
I only expect HLS to expand and grow even more. With this great crew, we'll be bringing more ideas to the table and continuing to hack our library school experiences. I'm also excited to say that I submitted our first official ALA Conversation Starter Proposal for Annual this year a couple days ago. Let's hope that it's accepted and we can meet some folks at ALA this summer. My hope is for students and professionals to be active, be aware, and engage with us, virtually and in person.

Kidnapping and cheese straws commingle in the first book in a popular series
Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind: A Novel. By Ann B. Ross. Harper 288 pp., $13.95, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
Back in the 1990s, mainstream publishers crawled out from under a oleander bush and made an overdue discovery: A lot of people who live in small towns, go to church, and treat their neighbors kindly also like to read. And they want to see themselves reflected in novels instead of — or at least in addition to — characters who rent city apartments, go to nightclubs, and plot revenge against their bosses.
Perhaps no one did more to move publishers toward daylight than Jan Karon, who became a supernova for her series about a kindly rector in the fictional hamlet of Mitford, North Carolina, after finding only a small Christian firm willing to publish her first novel. Karon's success helped to clear a path for writers like Ann B. Ross, who has emerged as a star in her own right for her ten books about a rich Southern Presbyterian widow who comes into her own after the death of her philandering banker husband, Wesley Lloyd.
Like Karon's At Home in Mitford, Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind takes place in a North Carolina town shielded from the harsher effects of time. But Ross's book has more attitude – specifically, more irreverence. Karon's Father Tim is the gentle minister a lot of us wish we had. Ross's Pastor Ledbetter is the unctuous hypocrite we sometimes get instead.
In Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind, Miss Julia gets a surprise visit from Hazel Marie Puckett, who claims to have been Wesley Lloyd's longtime mistress and to have brought along his 9-year-old bastard son. When Hazel Marie disappears, Miss Julia believes she must take in Little Lloyd. But certain Abbotsville busybodies don't like having in their midst a reminder of the moral flaws of the man who owned the town bank. And when Little Lloyd is kidnapped, any number of people might have had a hand in it.
If the novel moves swiftly toward a solution to the apparent crime, Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind isn't really a mystery. It's a comedy of Southern manners, as light as a basket of cheese straws, that turns on the acerbic wit of its protagonist and her interactions with more broadly drawn characters. Miss Julia sees right through Pastor Ledbetter's pious ooze, her late husband's cheating, and other two-faced behavior in Abbotsville. She doesn't waste time worrying about whether she might have kept Wesley Lloyd from straying by trading her Red Cross shoes for Ferragamos. And for all her church-going, she avoids looking too closely at what her husband's afterlife might hold. "He was a Presbyterian and therefore one of the elect," she says dryly, "which makes me wonder about the election process."
Best line: Ross writes of a Presbyterian minister who wants a piece of Miss Julia's inheritance: " … if he brought up Wesley Lloyd's estate again, I decided I'd transfer my membership. Maybe to the Episcopal church, where grown men get down on their knees. Which a lot of men, including the Presbyterian kind, ought to try."
Worst line: Miss Julia's black maid Lillian has lines like, "You need some liquids in yo' stomick. Jes' lay right still while I go get you something to drink." I didn't mind these because Ross tries to also capture the flavor of the regional speech of her white Southern characters, so the exchange seemed fair. But some readers may disagree.
About the author: Ross has written ten "Miss Julia" novels, including Miss Julia Delivers the Goods, just published by Viking. She lives in Henderson, NC.

A search-and-rescue mission for single New Yorkers and their dogs
Secrets to Happiness: A Novel. By Sarah Dunn. Little, Brown, 277 pp., $23.99.
By Janice Harayda
Sarah Dunn is that rarity among comic novelists — a moralist in the best sense of the word. She doesn't preach or lecture. But her heroines have a solid moral core left over from the strict Christian upbringing they have rejected. They struggle to do the right thing even as friends are cheating on their partners or trolling for casual sex on LukesPlace, a site similar to Craigslist in Secrets to Happiness. If Dunn's heroines fall for faithless men, it isn't because these women are vapid or silly – it's because they are confused. They don't know how to reconcile their early lessons with those of the age of Sex and the City, when their peers deal with moral questions by handing them off to psychiatrists or blocking them out with drugs from a pharmacy in St. Kitts.
"It never ceased to amaze Holly, how therapists managed to spin things," Dunn writes of her main character. After years in Manhattan, Holly suspected that psychotherapy aimed to make it possible for people "to do whatever they wanted to do, with whomever they wanted to do it, when and where and however they felt like it, while reaping no negative emotional consequences whatsoever."
That passage alone might lift Secrets to Happiness above most novels about single New Yorkers, in which few plot devices are more clichéd than an emotionally gimpy heroine's visit to a therapist whose banalities help her find love. But the book has much more going for it than that. This is a novel about the related questions: What is the cost of being emotionally abandoned? And when do you give up the fantasy that you can rescue a relationship?
Holly Frick thinks she still loves a husband who has left her when, in her mid-30s, she faces other swiftly arriving changes: She adopts a dog with brain cancer, becomes involved with a 22-year-old man, and learns that her married best friend is having an affair. She must also persuade her gay script-writing partner to do his share of the work for an afternoon TV show now that her masochistically titled novel, Hello, Mr. Heartache, is tanking at bookstores. Part of the suspense comes from whether Holly will stick with her canine and human companions or will abandon them as her husband has abandoned her.
Dunn doesn't develop this plot quite as well as she did that of her first novel, The Big Love, which has no relation to the HBO series. Much of the charm of that book came from the quirky first-person narration of its heroine, a Philadelphia magazine writer. Dunn uses shifting third-person viewpoints in her new novel, and though she handles them well, the device leaves the book softer at its center. Holly is its emotional and moral anchor, and the omniscient narration dilutes her impact.
So the pleasure of reading Secrets to Happiness comes less from its plot than from Dunn's sophisticated wit, social commentary, and sharp eye for how single people of both sexes rationalize their actions. The novel abounds with lines that are amusing or perceptive or both. One involves the its Craigslist-surrogate: "The thing Leonard liked about LukesPlace was that you didn't have to be altogether on your game and yet you could still have sex with perfect strangers." When a man asks Holly if she wrote "chick lit," she responds, "I wrote the entire thing in lipstick, actually." No one should confuse Secrets to Happiness with a book that might as well be sold at cosmetics counters.
Best line: "Betsy Silverstein was only half Jewish, but with Betsy, half was plenty."
Worst line: "She pressed on like a trooper." The word is "trouper."
Recommended if … you've wonder, "Where are the novels about single women that aren't mainly about shoes?" (though The Big Love offers a better introduction to Dunn's work).
Published: March 2009
About the author: Dunn has written for Murphy Brown and other television shows. A post about The Big Love appeared on this site on Feb. 14, 2007.

If you would like to present at this event, please add your name below. Please send us your presentation/proposal via firstname.lastname@example.com. Should we receive more submissions than we can fit into the schedule, we will select the ones that we think are most interesting to the audience.
- Marcus Engelhardt (Fraunhofer FOKUS): Traceino - The Traceability Framework
This demo will present Traceino. Traceino is an EMF based tracebility tool for model driven development. In a unique way Traceino allows the definition and utilization of type safe structured traces without losing the important generic characteristics necessary for analysis like impact analysis and coverage analysis. Another aspect of Traceino is its independence of tools.
- Jens von Pilgrim (NumberFourAG, Berlin): Beyond the box: How we built a JavaScript IDE with Xtext.
This talk was already presented at eclipsecon Europe 2013. I will sketch out how we customized Xtext to achieve things which will not work out of the box. The eclipsecon talk was rather detailed and designed for an audience quite familiar with Xtext. The democamp presentation will rather focus on showing how to get to these solutions by example, demonstrating also non-Xtext related techniques, in order to make the talk attractive also for non-Xtext-experts.
- Joerg Reichert (itemis AG): Advanced language testing with XPECT
This talk I will present how you can directly execute your language files as JUnit tests. Instead having test logic and test data in different places XPECT enables you to put your expectations where they have to apply. In presentation you will learn how to write tests for the different aspects of your language and language tooling on some real world examples. See also this introduction as an appetizer.
- Max Bureck (Fraunhofer FOKUS): OMG DD - Modeled Graphical Notations
In this presentation, you will get an overview over OMG Diagram Definition and use cases how for the usage of the standardized meta model. We will dive into the EMF version of the meta model and give a quick demo of an exemplary interpreter for the graphical part of the meta model.
- Matthias Köster (binaere bauten gmbh): Java 8 support in eclipse JDT
This demo will demonstrate the most important changes scheduled for Java 8 by using the eclipse JDT preview for Java 8. I don't have a lot of slides, but we instead will make a live and interactive demo ;-) Since I'm not an eclipse/JDT committer, this demo will focus on the users point of view.
- Akos Kitta (B2i Healthcare): RCP application with embedded Groovy scripting
This demo will present how Groovy scripting feature can be embedded into an RCP application. With the Groovy scripting feature one could reach the application specific APIs and perform e.g. report generation, search execution or even database content modification. For this presentation I would rather show how it works in practice with a simple RCP instead of showing slides.
If you added your demo to the list above, please add a short abstract to this list so people know what you will be talking about:

[I'm off today. This repost of a review of one of my favorite books of poetry that appeared on this site in 2006.]
A newspaper editor writes about work and makes it work
Late for Work. Poems by David Tucker. Foreword by Philip Levine. Mariner, 53 pp., $12, paperback.
It's odd, when you think about it, that more journalists don't write poetry. Newspapers stack their headlines like verse – couplets, tercets, or quatrains – set flush left or stepped. Their stories have a form, the inverted pyramid, that can be as rigid as that of a sestina. And the work of great reporters has, if not meter, a subtle rhythm and an emotional impact comparable to that of a well-made poem.
David Tucker moves to close the gap in Late for Work, winner 2005 Katharine Bakeless Nason Prize for poetry awarded by the Breadloaf Writers' Conference. Calvin Trillin may call himself a "deadline poet" because he writes his brief, witty poems for The Nation in response to breaking news. But Tucker comes closer to the spirit of the phrase in this wonderful collection of 45 of poems about newspapers and other topics, inspired partly by his work as an assistant managing editor of the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
Tucker has little in common with the modern poets who pack their work so densely with opaque symbols and allusions that you need to read them with The Golden Bough in one hand and the Wikipedia URL in the other. He meets you halfway, whether he's writing about a great-grandfather you haven't met or a newsroom you haven't visited. Sometimes he does this by moving gracefully from tragedy to comedy and back again, so that we stand poised between them in his poems as in life. In "Morning Edition," a journalist leaving work for the day considers the stories in the next edition:
For tomorrow we offer a photo of bloody hands
passing a coffin over a crowd in Baghdad,
and a photo of the President grinning
like a boy who ate a grasshopper,
and the jubilation of the bowling team that won the lottery.
Later the journalist recalls other stories in the next day's paper:
The governor lying about the lie he told
the day before, the state senator from Bergen
calling his committee into secret session.
Killer Tree in Rahway, roots weakened
by rain, this rain, toppling on a doctor and his wife
as they sped for the Rahway exist, late for dinner.
Tucker flirts with classic forms like the sonnet and, in "The Woman in the Faraway House," terza rima (while avoiding its overlapping rhymes):
She always has one more thing to say
about the argument
we had yesterday
But if he nods to Dante and later poets like Jane Kenyon, Tucker makes his subjects his own. One of his themes is that we have the capacity for hope even when hope has let us down — or we have let it down – many times. This idea comes into its fullest flower in "Detective Story," which begins:
Happiness is a stubborn old detective who won't give up on us
though we have been missing a long, long time,
who stops in towns where we once lived and asks about us
in a grocery where we shopped ten years ago …
Philip Levine chose Late for Work for the Bakeless Prize and has written an introduction that, though more self-indulgent and less helpful than it might have been, is right in one respect. This book suggests that life, for all its disappointments, can still be "warm and satisfying."
Best line: From "Detective Story": "A breeze smelling of the river enters the room though/ no river is near; the house is quiet and calm for no reason;/ the search does end, the detective finally does sleep, far away/ from anything he imagined, his dusty shoes still on."
Worst line: From "Downsizing": Tucker writes of bosses whispering "at the water cooler" and "junior executives" going to lunch. Most companies no longer have a "water cooler" or "junior executives" – everybody's a "manager" now – and both of these fixtures of corporate life had disappeared by the time the word "downsizing" entered the language, so imagery here isn't just clichéd but internally inconsistent.
Recommended if … you'd love to read contemporary poetry that you can understand without having a graduate degree in English.
