As people age, especially after the age of 40, the ability to see items up close often becomes more difficult. This is a condition that occurs naturally called presbyopia. It is because of this condition that people begin to find they have a need for glasses in order to work comfortably on the computer. If you find yourself in this category, then the idea of selecting which glasses to use may seem overwhelming. By following a few simple steps, you should be able to identify which strength of glasses will allow you to once again work on the computer comfortably and without eye strain.
Things You'll Need
- Ruler or Tape Measure
- Distance Vision Glasses Prescription
- Pencil or Pen
- Paper
Measure the distance from your screen to your face. Distance is important, as it will take a different power for people who sit farther back from the screen.
Look at the glasses prescription written by your eye doctor for everyday distance vision. The numbers you need are the numbers written for the sphere. An example of a prescription would be: +1.00 -- 0.50 X 105. In this example, the sphere is the +1.00.
Calculate your glasses prescription for the computer. If your computer screen is 21 to 35 inches away from you, you will want to add approximately 1.00 diopters to your prescription. For example: your prescription (for every day distance vision) is + 1.00 sphere. You will add 1.00 to it and the reading glasses prescription would then equal +2.00.
If your computer screen is 35 inches, or farther, away from you, you will need to add 1.50 diopters to your prescription. Using the same example of a distance prescription of +1.00, the computer prescription would be +2.50.
If you do not currently need glasses for distance, then start your calculations at zero; so continuing with the example, the computer glasses would be a +1.00.
Record the calculations on a sheet of paper to take with you to the store.
Find a pair of glasses. The simplest way to find and buy a pair of computer glasses is to go to your local pharmacy. Pharmacies typically have a display of several different glasses of varied strengths. You can locate the power of the glasses on the inside of the arm of the glasses if it is not clearly marked on the front of the lenses or on the packaging.
Try on a few pairs of glasses. If you measured your computer screen to be approximately 21 inches from where you sit, which is the general distance of most computers, then this is also the approximate length of your arm. Stand an arms length away from the reading chart provided by the glasses display and see if you can read print the approximate size of the text on your computer screen.
Fine-tune your glasses strength. If you feel it is not quite right, try going up or down with the power of the glasses by a quarter step (+/- 0.25) to see if you can find that perfect balance.
Tips & Warnings
- If after following the above steps you find that you are still not happy with your vision when working on the computer, it may be time to revisit your eye doctor. If needed, have a pair of glasses professionally made.
- If you are concerned about being able to figure the correct strength yourself, there are many sites on the Internet that allow you to print out an eye chart and show you which strength may help depending on which line you have trouble reading. Simply search for "Computer Strength Eye Chart."

For the 17th day running, large crowds jammed the city centre, waving pro-democracy banners and chanting support for an independent radio station which Serbia's neo-Communist authorities closed down last Tuesday.
At the front of the demonstration was a group of young women carrying loaves of bread, a symbol of friendship and goodwill in Serbia. "We must try and win this battle for our future, because otherwise our country faces years of darkness," said Gordana Tadic, a science student.
As up to 50,000 people protested in the city, the authorities underlined their increasingly tough line by rejecting opposition demands for fresh local elections and by ruling out concessions in response to Western pressure. A Belgrade court dismissed an opposition claim that the ruling Socialist Party had defrauded it of victory by cancelling the results of municipal elections in the capital last month.
The authorities first signalled their more repressive approach last Sunday when the Speaker of the Serbian parliament, Dragan Tomic, went on state television to denounce the daily demonstrations as "destructive, violent and with all the characteristics of pro-Fascist groups and ideologies."
Last Tuesday, the authorities shut down the radio station B-92, which in contrast to the state-controlled media, had carried extensive reports on the anti-Milosevic protests.
Although Mr Milosevic has not ordered the use of force against the demonstrators, hundreds of extra police have been moved into Belgrade and other towns and a handful of opposition activists have been arrested.
With the opposition seemingly running short of ideas on how to expand its protests into a decisive challenge to his rule, Mr Milosevic appears at the moment to hold the upper hand. However, some cracks have recently appeared in the monolith.
Five Supreme Court judges broke ranks last Tuesday and criticised their colleagues for tamely approving the cancellation of the opposition's election victories. According to several reports in Serbia's independent media, the loyalty of the police may also be in doubt, a claim at least partly supported by the evident sympathy of some Belgrade policemen to the street demonstrators.
However, loud criticism from the United States and European countries of Mr Milosevic's policies appears to have made little or no impact. A Socialist Party spokesman, Ivica Dacic, rejected Western charges of election- rigging and said: "We are treating the question of the elections as an internal matter."
The opposition, grouped in a coalition known as Zajedno (Together), vowed yesterday to continue the protests at least until the new year. Yet except in the southern city of Nis, Zajedno has found it difficult to mobilise workers in its cause, a fact that indicates the relative success of the authorities in keeping students and educated people in Belgrade isolated from public opinion in the rest of Serbia.
Even the largest opposition demonstrations, which have attracted more than 100,000 people in Belgrade, have failed to trigger sympathy strikes or protests in factories.
Despite this, the opposition is confident that it has damaged Mr Milosevic's authority beyond repair. "He is bluffing and trying to scare the people, but we shall not be intimidated by his threats and insults," said Vuk Draskovic, an opposition leader.

Horrible service, rude management and staff, mediocre American style pseudo Chinese. Their sauces are mostly flavorless with sugar. Many better asian options in Missoula!
This article is misleading in the extreme. I am a medical marijuana patient, registered with the state. For every caregiver that was busted, there were 4 that were not. These busts were of "caregivers" that were breaking the law by buying and selling large quantities of marijuana outside the rules of the law. Caregivers across the state that follow the letter of the law were left alone. Several of the caregivers busted were trafficing across state lines. The law gives a caregiver a right to grow and sell to registered patients only. The law does not give the right to buy and sell wholesale in order to maintain a large stock to cater to large numbers of patients. Right or wrong, that's the law, and that's why these shops were busted.
It's sad, but it's also inevitable. We live in a consumer economy where people can't trouble themselves to appreciate the beauty we live in over their gadgets and creature comforts. That stuff everyone is busy consuming has to come from somewhere, and it comes with a price. The more we have !!!CONSUME!!! drilled in to our heads and the heads of our children before they're even old enough to buy, the less likely it is that Montana will remain as a pristine, lightly populated state. The only way to save ourselves now is to say !!ENOUGH!!. Quit buying a new coffee pot every year. Do your dishes by hand and say no to the dishwasher. Dry your clothes on a clothesline. The fact is that we as Montanans are becoming as bad as the rest of the country when it comes to consuming. We have to make the decision to either maintain our low economic status and preserve the nature around us, or rush forward into consuming oblivion like the rest of the nation. I for one would rather make 26k a year in a clean, empty, natural place, than earn 50k in urban hell. So next time you make that trip to your favorite mega super store, think to yourself... A new vaccuum or a crystal clear lake? Masses of school junk for the kids or untouched forest? An electric razor because your too lazy to shave or abundant wildlife? Even if Montanans woke up, the rest of the country would take it from us anyway! Oil isn't the disease, it's merely a symptom of a much worse disease. Consumerism!
Regarding the original story, this is a terrorist act pure and simple. A hate crime that should be pursued as such. Any attempt to sway the masses through fear rather than the ballot is wrong.
There is so much misinformation regarding medical marijuana it's pathetic. Many options exist in which to ingest the active ingredient, and in fact most doctors today that DO reccomend their patients consume cannabis recommend they do so by eating cannabis products rather than smoking it, or at the very least vaporize it rather than smoking in a more traditional sense.
The reason the Pharaceutical companies are "out of the loop" is exactly the reason it's been lobbied so hard against for the last 50 years. It's a solution that doesn't require a corporate monstrosity to produce, and in fact can be produced quite effectively by the individual. Less people buying pain killers... less people buying over the counter sleep aids... a whole slew of business fleeing from the pharmaceutical companies.
Regarding smoking dosage, that's one of the main benefits of smoking marijuana is that it is fast acting and can be administered in minutely increasing amounts until the desired level of effect is reached. Try doing that with Codeine or Oxycontin. Is this law being abused? Absolutely. News stories appear time and again regarding kids raiding their parents medicine cabinet for Soma, Vicodin, Oxycontin etc.. There is always going to be abuse. The difference is those kids can't overdose from stealing some of their parents pot.
I suggest those who are railing so hard against this law go out and start meeting the people using it. You may even know some now that you're not aware of. Talk to the cancer patient who swears it's the only thing keeping them from turning into an emaciated skeleton from nausea. Talk to the MS patient that is unable to walk or talk or perform basic motor functions without it. Talk to the Crohn's disease sufferer who's had 85% of their bowel removed but avoids flare-ups and loss of the remaining 15% by consuming cannabis. You all pretend there is no medical benefit, yet more and more studies are coming out showing concrete results from cannabis use for a wide variety of illnesses. Do some research on these things, you might be suprised at the results.
It's not necessary to go to "Joe's Marijuana Store" to get medical marijuana, the law allows patients to grow it themselves, and most do. The law allows you to brew your own beer... why do you go to bars? Convenience.
Vince, I can with confidence say that it is a small minority that is threatening violence. The vast majority do not want violence to fix our country. That would make imposing the view of the minority via violence rather than going by the will of the majority via election.... tyranny?
You're proposing to do the very thing you claim to be fighting.
I agree totally that we have the right to bear arms. I disagree totally that it is an acceptable practice to hold any sort of a heated discussion while carrying one. If your neighbor came over to your house and insisted you cut down a tree that has limbs hanging in your yard, it's a discussion. If your neighbor came over carrying a shotgun and demanded you remove the tree, it's intimidation.
We have a democracy. Every citizen has the right to have their voice heard (except in Florida). If a majority of the people want our government to change, they can exercise that right and the government will change.
A small minority holding on to their guns while voicing boisterous, angry rhetoric to intimidate the majority is as anti-democratic, and anti-American, as it gets.
Elections are revolutions every four years. Let your pencil be your gun, and the ballot be your ammunition.

Antwerp is home to a dynamic fashion community. Much of the generation that first came to prominence during the 1980s as the 'Antwerp Six' still live and work in the city. Many talented young designers have since graduated from the Fashion Department of the Antwerp Academy and gone on to achieve international success. What unites these designers is not a style but a sensibility – respect for technical skills and quality materials, and a highly individual fashion vision.
Contemporary fashion
Groundbreaking designers such as Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Marina Yee, Dirk Van Saene and Walter Van Beirendonck redefine fashion in the 1980s.
The 6 + Martin Margiela draw international attention to Antwerp, which sees the emergence of a new generation including Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho and A.F. Vandevorst.
The emergence of designers such as Bruno Pieters, Christian Wijnants, Haider Ackermann and Tim Van Steenbergen who create new templates for a career in fashion.
As designers from the city cement their reputations, recent graduates from the Academy continue to make waves here and on the international circuit.

The second USS Savannah was a frigate in the United States Navy. She was named after the city of Savannah, Georgia.
Savannah was begun in 1820 at the New York Navy Yard, but she remained on the stocks until 5 May 1842, when she was launched. She was one of nine frigates to be built from a prototype design by naval architect William Doughty.
Savannah, with Captain Andrew Fitzhugh in command, joined the Pacific Squadron as flagship in 1844. As the prospect of war with Mexico became imminent, the Squadron moved into position off the California coast. On 7 July 1846, the Squadron captured Monterey without firing a shot. On 8 September 1847, Savannah returned to New York for repairs.
She served as flagship for the Pacific Squadron again from 1849-52. Repairs at Norfolk, Virginia took her into 1853, and on 9 August of that year, she sailed for a three-year cruise on the Brazil Station. In November 1856, she was inactivated, but served as flagship for the Home Squadron on the east coast of Mexico during 1859 and 1860.
USS Savannah, USS Saratoga and two charted steamers fought the small Battle of Anton Lizardo in 1860. Two armed Mexican vessels were captured by the Americans after they were deemed pirates by the Mexican government.
With the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, Savannah was deployed off the coast of Georgia, where she shared in the capture of two Confederate prizes, the schooner, E. J. Waterman, and the ship, Cheshire. On 11 February 1862, Savannah was taken out of active service and placed in use as an instruction and practice ship at the United States Naval Academy.
In 1870, after conducting her last training cruise to England and France, she was laid up at the Norfolk Navy Yard. She remained there until sold to E. Stannard and Company of Westbrook, Connecticut, in 1883.
USS Galatea (1862) was a large steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
She was used by the Union Navy as an escort gunboat in support of the Union Navy, mostly in various parts of the Caribbean, such as in Haiti, where her role was to protect American citizens. She was sold to the Haitian government in 1865 after becoming unseaworthy because of leaks.
The first USS Powhatan was a sidewheel steam frigate in the United States Navy during the American Civil War. She was named for Powhatan, a Native American chief of eastern Virginia. She was one of the last, and largest, of the United States Navy's paddle frigates.
Powhatan's keel was laid on 6 August 1847 at Norfolk, Virginia. Her engines were constructed by Mehaffy & Company of Gosport, Virginia. She cost $785,000. She was launched on 14 February 1850 by the Norfolk Navy Yard and commissioned on 2 September 1852, Captain William Mervine in command.

"This is a seminal work that explores the personal and professional implications of a powerful convergence of technologies, ranging from in memory databases for speed, massive parallel processing in the cloud, access via telephone for anything, anytime, everywhere. We are just beginning to understand what this means for us. The authors help us to understand where and how pull will change our lives and our work given the new digital infrastructures re-shaping our landscape. It offers us a roadmap that we neglect at our peril."
John Doerr, Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers venture capital
"The Power of Pull is a powerful new meme for navigating and networking in the 21st century."
Harvard Business Review
"In a ferociously dynamic world, what happens if we can't plan but can only adapt? We must move, say the authors, from push to pull. At the center of the pull strategy is an individual (not a corporation) who has access to knowledge flows, takes advantage of porous boundaries and serendipitous interactions, and occupies new creative spaces to achieve a novel order of performance. I know. It's a complex model with several moving parts. But it makes for an exhilarating read as the authors sublimely reinvent the world of enterprise."
William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America
"The Power of Pull examines the "how question"how can we effectively address our most pressing challenges in a rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world? In The Power of Pull, John Hagel, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison highlight fascinating new ways in which passionate thinking, creative solutions, and committed action canand willmake it possible for us to seize opportunities and remain in step with change."
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives
"The Power of Pull will do for our 21st-century information-age institutional leadership what Peter Drucker's The Concept of the Corporation did for industrial-era management. This book begins to create a body of learnable principles that will revolutionize our ability to access and work with knowledge flows."
Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google
"Hagel, Brown, and Davison have given us a provocative and insightful look at the power of today's knowledge flow. If you want to meet the challenges of working and living in the 21st century, this book should be your guide."
Mark E. Tucker, Former Group Chief Executive of Prudential plc, Member of the Court of the Bank of England
"We live in a global village, where borders are blurred, where all humanity could and should be responsible for the well-being of others. The Power of Pull proposes fresh insights that coalesce into a powerful way forward in this new world. This erudite manual for change is a testament to the creativity and insight of its authors."
Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com
"As social media and enterprise cloud computing continue to exert their democratizing influences, the Power of Pull will become a key principle for success. The individuals who learn how to use these tools most effectively are the ones who will pull their institutions into new heights of rapid innovation, improved performance and significant achievement."
Walter Isaacson, President and CEO, the Aspen Institute, and author of Einstein: His Life and Universe
"This brilliant and exciting book shows how to pursue your passions by harnessing the power of networks. Success no longer comes from possessing knowledge; instead, you have to participate with others in creating a flow of knowledge. The power of 'pull'the ability to draw out people and resources for each endeavorcan transform both individuals and institutions."
Joichi Ito, CEO of Creative Commons and Internet venture investor
"Connecting many important threads through beautiful metaphors and wonderful narratives, the authors provide both a mind-expanding view of how the world is changing and a solid framework and context to approach the future for anyone interested in surviving and enjoying it."
John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends
"In times of unprecedented change, we as individuals and institutions can have extraordinary leverage and influence if we marshal the passion, knowledge and resources necessary to achieve great things. The Power of Pull empowers and guides us to make the most of today's enormous possibilities."
Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The Great Reset
"Stop whatever you are doing and read this amazing book. The authors totally nail it. Digging beneath the surface of stuff that distracts us on a daily basis, they unpack the deep forces that really truly matter and provide a guidebook each of us can use to unleash passion, transform how and why we work, and restore destiny and dignity to our lives."

In the meantime, marketers who had Mays had have all agreed to put them on hiatus this week, until after his Friday funeral.

Enemy, Cripple, & Beggar: Shadows in the Hero's Path
In Enemy, Cripple, & Beggar, Erel Shalit provides new thoughts and views on the concepts of Hero and Shadow. This Fisher King Press publication elaborates on mythological and psychological images. Myths and fairy tales explored include Perseus and Andersen's 'The Cripple.' You'll also enjoy the psychological deciphering of Biblical stories such as Amalek—The Wicked Warrior, Samson—The Impoverished Sun, and Jacob & the Divine Adversary. With the recent discovery of The Gospel of Judas, Erel. Shalit also delves into the symbolic relationship between Jesus and Judas Iscariot to illustrate the hero-function's inevitable need of a shadow.
The Hero dares to venture into the unknown, into the shadow of the unconscious, bringing us in touch with the darker aspects in our soul and in the world. In fact, it is the hero whom we send each night into the land of dreams to bring home the treasures of the unconscious. He, or no less she, will have to struggle with the Enemy that so often is mis-projected onto the detested Other, learn to care and attend to the Cripple who carries our crippling complexes and weaknesses, and develop respect for the shabby Beggar to whom we so often turn our backs—for it is the 'beggar in need' who holds the key to our inner Self.
Enemy, Cripple & Beggar can be comfortably read by an informed lay public interested in Analytical Psychology and by those interested in the interface between psychology and mythology, folklore, and religion.
Enemy, Cripple, & Beggar was a 2009 Gradiva Award Nominee for best theoretical book.

Our history
We founded Capability Jane Recruitment in 2007 to fill a gap in the market for a specialist recruitment business that focuses on sourcing talented executives on a part-time or flexible basis. Our origins stem from tapping into a pool of talented women and men who leave the corporate world in search of roles that offer more flexibility, and from working with innovative growing businesses and teams looking for exceptional talent but not on a full-time basis.
When we launched in January 2007 our mission was to:
- Build the market place for organisations to access exceptional executive talent seeking part-time / flexible working opportunities.
- Help organisations access, attract and recruit more women into their businesses and implement flexible working practices.
- Build a community and support network for professional people to maintain or return to a fulfilling career.
We continue on this mission to create the marketplace for high quality, senior part time roles within business, enabling talented individuals who want to work flexibly to remain in their careers. With a proprietary network of over 20,000 candidates Capability Jane delivers recruitment and talent pooling services to clients that deliver diverse, highly experienced, high- calibre candidates. No other recruitment company has the equivalent depth and breadth of market coverage for this new and emerging sector.
Capability Jane Recruitment works with forward thinking organisations who recognise the benefits of being able to access a different talent pool by providing genuinely flexible and part time career opportunities. We are working towards a world where flexibility, part-time and job sharing is the norm, not the exception and where organisations embrace innovative ways of working as a source of competitive advantage.
Our Team
We're a small, high energy team of professionals with extensive business and executive experience in a wide variety of industry sectors and functional roles. From start up to large corporate, we bring a fresh approach to sourcing flexible talent.

Recipe: Orange Dreamsicle Crispy Treats
Baker Robin Wilson says, "You can also use yellow and pink food coloring gel to make peach. Practice on a piece of wax paper, adding a little at a time to achieve your perfect shade. I serve these to family and friends, and there's never a square left."
Leave these chewy bar cookies and brownies unattended and they'll disappear faster than you can say "But those were for the bake sale!"

I realize I'm a tad late with my OSCON writeups, but I suppose I'm not as "agile" as some others when it come to blogging about conferences. 🙂
What I wasn't expecting at OSCON, were sessions on how to market your software, or more importantly how to make money off of your software. Don't get me wrong, a lot of us are in the business of selling software and/or hardware, but, I didn't think that sessions at OSCON that spoke about how to sell your software would be popular.
One of my favorite talks on Day 2 (7/27) was that of Rasmus Lerdorf's, on PHP and Web 2.0. Rasmus did an almost all demos session, and all the demos were extremely simple in nature and it was easy to see how he'd put them together. And they weren't "blah" demos – these were some really good lively mashup-like demos. Rasmus has his slides up over here. Apart from delivering a stellar session, I felt like I instantly bonded with Rasmus when he said he disliked SOAP. Haven't heard very many people say that out loud before. This session was *packed* – it was standing room only.
Christian Wenz did a phenomenal job of delivering a session Atlas. It was one of the few Windows tracks at the conference, and Christian established that his upcoming book is going to be an absolute must-read.
As far as marketing to developers goes, I also attended a lively discussion on "Marketing to Dilbert: How to Invite Developers Into Your Project". The session was well done with active participation from the audience. Microsoft hardly even came up in this talk which was kind of surprising considering several companies' marketing campaigns were being talked about. Apple was the clear winner when it came to a company that markets its products really well, and everyone seemed to agree. The one positive about Microsoft that was pointed out, was about our blogging practices, and how we've gotten really transparent as a company with our blogging.
The Google Web Toolkit session was another absolutely packed session. This session was just an overview, and having tried out most of the examples on the GWT site, I didn't gain much value from the session. They did talk briefly about Google Code Hosting, but I'm still having a tough time figuring out why someone wouldn't just use SourceForge, even if the project had something to do with Google. Apparently some of the guys who worked on SourceForge now work on Google Code Hosting. If its features like 'search' that Google would've wanted to incorporate in to SourceForge's hosting site, I'm sure they could've made that happen.
I also happened to attend a session on "Roadmap to Free .NET developer tools". It was sparsely attended, and in some ways, thankfully so. Nothing personal, but, Lee Fisher didn't do all that grand a job talking about the tools. While the presentation did open eyes about the free tools out there, anyone would've really been overwhelmed by the number of tools that Lee spoke about. And his presentation style, sorry to say, just plain sucked. Saying something like, "you'll figure out how much it costs because you'll notice it in your credit card bill" is NOT a valid answer to a question like "how much does something cost". I'm hoping the .NET and its developer crowd doesn't come across as misrepresented by this session. It could've been made a lot more practical, if a few free tools were picked and were used as examples for development in .NET, like sIDE for example. And Lee could've ended by listing *some* of the tools that he has personally used, so that he could talk to them better. Demos first, links later.
We hosted a small dinner at an awesome peruvian restaurant in Portland – supposedly one of the best peruvian places around. We had lively discussions, and some of the folks from Port25 joined us as well. IronPython and RubyCLR were also represented. For the most part, I spent my time talking with Bart Massey and his students. I love practical people who're just practical. There are times when you have to get emotional about certain things, but explaining practically why you dislike some things or what you would like to see done differently makes a conversation worth participating in. That's how our dinner-time discussion with Bart Massey was. Hopefully we'll have some pictures up soon.
So, that's that. OSCON's a wrap. I loved it. And I was telling a friend that this has to be one of the best conferences attended in a while. I didn't miss the trays in the hallways that contained 30 different types of cheese and 80 different types of dressing. I enjoyed all the hallway discussions. And it was the first conference where I saw children.
Here are some links about people talking about Microsoft's presence at OSCON –
- OSCAMP Wrapup
- Port25
- Thread on EUGLUG
- Microsoft's OSCAMP session – MicrosoftOSSAndYou (for which I copiously took notes in gVim 😉
PS: I had an awesome time hanging with Jason, Tim and Woody in Portland. These guys rock!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I re-read this in preparation for reading Daryl Pinkney's new novel Black Deutschland . Funny to come back to it after 30 years, it was both the same and so different. so many things Isherwood must have felt like he couldn't write about honestly - parts of it seem like its a coded language.
Two shorter works by Christopher Isherwood, He puts himself into the story as the narrator and observer of Germany between the wars. The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin.
"I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking".
And that is how I experienced the books. I bit dull. You can see the poverty (this is the depression years). The struggle to find relief through partying, drinking and sex. The tensions growing between Nazi and Jew. The Communist on the threshold. It was the dispassionate prose that made it hard to engage. I enjoyed the musical Cabaret so much more.
The first book, The Last of Mr. Norris portrays encounters between Mr Norris and a William Brandshaw. I liked this a bit better. It is less dark, a bit more comical but still has that tone found in Goodbye to Berlin of being on the brink of something. The Nazi's presence is increasing. Communists are underground. Again there is detachment in Bradshaw who acts as the observer of all that is happening.
Gay City Staff Pick: Heard of the musical "cabaret?" Well, this is the collection of semi-true stories it's based on. Check. It. Out!
My brother loaned me this book in response to my loaning him "Monuments Men". Being it takes place in the European Theatre of WWII he thought I might enjoy another perspective of that time and place.
Christopher Isherwood lived in Berlin from 1929 to 1933, the time when Hitler was working his way into power. A charming city of café life and a nighttime dark side of wild life and fantasts. Intrigue, vice, millionaires and poor people all to be found around Berlin.
Isherwood travelled in both worlds, teaching English to those who wanted to learn to appear better in status. This book is fiction, but it is based on real people in a real world. It is more of a memoir of his time in Berlin. He introduces you to a variety of people. Frl. Schroeder, whom he rents a room from. Once she was well off but now she has to rent rooms in her flat to meet the rent. Mysterious Mr. Norris, a debauchee who loves luxury but has no obvious source on income. Sally Bowles, who travels in the demimonde of Berlin on the kindness of men. She was a character model for the stage play "I Am a Camera" and "Cabaret".
Isherwood takes you into his world with his discriptives of the people and places. You are there during the conversations and happenings. You can feel the tension that is slowly building from the changing of the political scene. There is also the humour of many of the situations that Isherwood finds himself in.
This book is really two books under one cover. They are related by time and place.
I definitely enjoyed this goodread.
Yet another novel colored with my memory of falling in love with Brooklyn. Mr. "Ishyvoo", as the German's pronounce the name, is living in I think pre-Hitler Berlin. The loosely-woven stories for a general pattern of life and high-debauched times right before the Brownshirt Bureaucracy took over. The novel is the kernel that flowered into the hit Broadway play "Cabaret." I remember this one line (because I stole it): "I am a camera."

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0811200701, Paperback)Christopher Isherwood was a diverse writer whose accomplishments included The Mortmere Stories (Edward Upward Series), A Single Man and a translation of The Song of God (Bhagavad Gita). But many critics hailed The Berlin Stories, the reissue of two of his best novels, as his finest. In the book, a man named Christopher Isherwood, who is and is not the author, writes a story of exile, combining the best of Isherwood's real life with the best of the life he imagined.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:14 -0400)
A two-in-one volume containing the works The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin finds the characters of Sally Bowles, Fr�ulein Schroeder, and the doomed Landauers caught up by the nightlife, danger, and mystique of 1931 Berlin.

Today, we salute our Fathers. In the process, we want to honor all of our guys. This is a much needed emphasis in our day. Many wrongly conclude that church is for women and children. They conclude that it's not manly to be religious. That idea is as false as anything can be. But that doesn't keep many from believing it. I want to set the record straight by highlighting the manly side of the Christian faith.
First, on the lighter side--the top ten reasons it's great to be a guy: #10. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. #9. You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife. #8. You can leave the motel bed unmade without feeling guilty. #7. You can buy underwear for $10 for a three-pack. #6. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. #5. You don't feel a need to mooch off other's desserts. #4. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. #3. One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons--enough said!. #2. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes. And the #1 reason: You can go to the bathroom without a support group.
We salute our dads because this is Father's Day. Since Mother's Day, we have been looking at various aspects of family life. Today offers the logical time to turn to the role of fathers in the Christian scheme of things.
Our text offers a series of imperatives or commands. The words come in the concluding chapter of a letter addressed to a church wrestling with a ton of problems. Now is not the time to dig into all of the issues of 1 Corinthians. Suffice it say, the congregation struggled with doctrinal confusion and moral uncertainty, all compounded by a bunch of people who couldn't get along with one another. Arguments and quarrels paralyzed the church. Instead of dealing with the problems, they wasted effort and energy fighting with one another. What al ...

London, Nov.4 (ANI): Former England cricket team coach Duncan Fletcher says that he is 'keen' on coaching the Black Caps, following the exit of Andy Moles.
Fletcher, who works as an adviser with South Africa, has not coached fulltime since leaving England after the 2007 World Cup, The Dominion Post reports.
New Zealand Cricket boss Justin Vaughan has said that he would not disclose any candidates, but told Cricinfo "it's fair to say that there has been a lot of interest from around the world".
New Zealand is in need of a coach after Andy Moles resigned following reports that senior players did not rate his ability very high. (ANI)

This roof structure is a candidate for either a repair-maintenance program or an engineered coating and does not have to be replaced. I would not recommend an elastomeric coating or the SPF Spray Foam as the acrylic and EPDM covering options do not last well in Edmonton climate, but liquid rubber performs well in our climate. Generally speaking, metal roof systems are constant aggravating roof structures. Industrial metal roof systems have a deficient design - they are water-shedding and not water-proofing coverings. Metal expands and contracts more than any other roofing material. Metal roofs tend to leak from expansion and contraction and ice / snow loads. Leaks are intermittent at seams, penetrations (stacks, etc.), fasteners (fastener holes get larger with expansion and contraction), around the perimeter as ice back-ups at gutters and then under eave, and at joints between roof and wall connections. Metal rust / corrosion may start at places, the seams and fasteners are vulnerable from expansion / contraction and snow loads, and any traditional caulking or coating won't last more than a few seasons at best. Remedies are either spot repairs-maintenance with caulking or more extensive maintenance which involves engineered coatings. Our recommendation is a high end engineered liquid rubber polymer coating that carries a 10 Year Manufacturer Warranty and has option for maintenance contracts for extended warranty. General Roofing is considered a pioneer and leader in engineered roof coatings; (www.liquidrubber.ca, https://www.grscanadainc.com/Roof_Coatings.html, https://www.grscanadainc.com/Liquid_Rubber.html). We have significant liquid rubber operations specifically serving industrial facilities with low slope metal roofs. Our clients include companies such as Imperial Oil, Shell Oil, Telus, Fortis, Toran Power, National Oil Well Varco (NOV), Teck Resources, and many more.(https://www.grscanadainc.com/Project_Portfolio.html). In this instance, we recommend a 2 Ply System engineered liquid rubber coat to complete metal roofing, fastener replacement as required, sheet metal repair as required to-achieve a water-tight state. Typically this is even more successful than a full metal roof replacement. A recent project with photos can be found at; http://generalroofingsystemscanadainc.blogspot.ca/2012/05/roof-repair-liquid-rubber-metal-roof.html Thank you.August 16th, 2011: The crew arrived on site and found two pipe boots and two patches that were leaking. Also discovered were two large holes in the membrane of the north corner (also causing leaking). It appears that something heavy had dropped on the roof at some point causing the holes. The insulation around the two holes was totally saturated and this was clearly allowing quite a bit of water into the system. The insulation is acting like a sponge and is releasing water into the Q deck and lunch room of the building. The crew performed a drip count within the three areas where dripping was occurring. The first drip count was done before the flood test and the results are as follows: Area 1: every 10 seconds. Area 2: every 6 seconds. Area 3: every 19 seconds. After the repair and during the flood test the results were as follows: Area 1: every 16 seconds. Area 2: every 20 seconds. Area 3: none.
The test indicates that the repairs were successful and that there is a slow drip only because of the still saturated insulation. The crew also searched the rooftop for any other possible leak spots. One area was found and patched. It was further reported to the client that the A/C unit in front of the roof hatch was dripping water from inside the unit.
The client was highly satisfied with the execution of the repairs.

At stumps, England were 296 for seven, having started the final session on 167 for five at Old Trafford after West Indies, 1-0 down in the four-Test series, had enjoyed a rare spell of dominance.
Bell was 77 not out and Stephen Harmison unbeaten on two. Together with Matt Prior (40), Bell put on 98 for the sixth wicket in 26 overs.
Fast bowler Corey Collymore led the West Indies attack with two for 44 from 20 overs.
Daren Ganga, captaining West Indies in a Test for a first time after Ramnaresh Sarwan sustained a tour-ending shoulder injury while fielding during England's innings and 283 run second Test win at Headingley, West Indies' heaviest Test innings loss, was pleased with his side's performance.
"It was a very good day for us. We showed our competitiveness right throughout the day. It was a total team effort," Ganga told reporters.
And he said recalled fast bowler Fidel Edwards, while expensive in taking one for 75, had added a fresh dimension to the attack with his extra pace.
"Our attack lacked a bit of penetration and more variety was something you were going to see in this Test.
"Fidel is that type of bowler. If he can come and knock the tail over, it would be a good innings work for him.
"We were a little bit more consistent in terms of how we bowled, and in terms of our energy on the field and I think that was important."
Ganga added: "We were able to create pressure. That is something which we have lacked in the series so far.
"There's quite a lot of room for improvement with our extras (West Indies have already conceded 38) but we're going to try to improve."
England opener Alastair Cook, who made 60, said: "It's pretty even at the moment. There's plenty in it for the bowlers and the batters. It's a good cricket wicket."
Edwards, late in the day, hit England spearhead Harmison on the helmet, and Cook added: "Anyone who can bowl at 90mph plus makes it hard work, especially on that wicket."
Warwickshire's Bell struck some eye-catching drives on his way to a 99-ball fifty with 10 fours while Prior, content to play a supporting role, attacked anything loose when given the chance.
"Belly played very well," Cook said. "He seems to like batting at No 6. Hopefully, he can guide us through to get us above 350 tomorrow (Friday)."
And Cook added he expected Harmison, who took six for 19 at Old Trafford against Pakistan last year, to be a force on the pitch.
"I think he's just ordered a couple more helmets. It was a good finish in the top corner," joked Cook in a reference to an Edwards delivery that hit Harmison on the helmet. "I hope he (Harmison) comes out fighting. He tends to bowl very well on these wickets."
Just when it seemed Prior would bat through to the close, he got carried away and tried to hook medium-pacer Dwayne Bravo's looping bouncer from above shoulder height and was caught at mid-wicket by Runako Morton.
The wicket-keeper faced 66 balls with seven fours but West Indies were back in the match.
A lively pitch, offering assistance to fast bowlers and shotmakers alike, lured Edwards, who delivered a wasteful 10 no balls, into the trap of bowling too short.
But when he pitched one up with the new ball, Liam Plunkett, backing away, was bowled middle stump for 13. England, well placed on 112 for one at lunch, then saw Collymore take two wickets for nine runs.
They resumed with Cook 51 not out and England captain Michael Vaughan 40 not out. Vaughan had added just one to his score before he was bowled by a full-length Collymore delivery that nipped back. Vaughan faced 99 balls with six fours, sharing a stand of 104 with Cook.
He returned to modest applause having received a mixed reception when he came out to bat following his newspaper criticisms of injured all-rounder and local hero Andrew Flintoff for his pedalo escapade at the World Cup.
Vaughan's exit brought in Kevin Pietersen, looking for a third hundred in as many innings after his 109 in the drawn first Test at Lord's and a Test best 226 at Headingley.
But Collymore dug one in and Pietersen, on nine, saw a spliced hook go straight to Bravo at deep square leg.
And 132 for three became 132 for four when Cook's square-cut was well caught by Bravo, diving forward at point, to give debutant pace bowler Darren Sammy his first Test wicket.
England were unchanged but West Indies made three changes with the fit-again Shivnarine Chanderpaul in for Sarwan, Sammy for Sylvester Joseph and Edwards for Daren Powell.

I'm in Kona, Hawaii at Left Coast Crime. It is supposed to rain 11 days a year here. It was raining last night when I arrived and is raining again today. I am taking that as special. Not that the rain is bad here. Except that the wet pavement made my feet sleep out from under me this morning as I was carrying some bags back from the gourmet market. Not that that was too bad either. Some man came to help me up, apparently expecting the worst (he said something about how easy it was to break an elbow). I was fine. Not even a scrap or scratch. I got up and continued on back to the hotel.
This is the first conference that actually has my books in the onsight bookstore. It was pretty cool to walk in and see Hooked on Murder, Dead Men Don't Crochet and Blue Schwartz and Nefertiti's Necklace all on display. So when I have my signing time, there will actually be books somebody might want me to sign.
Last night on the flight I was crocheting the pouch purse for the fourth book. I love crocheting on a plane. It is like meditating. I don't think, my fingers move and I totally relax. One of the fight attendants asked me what I was making. I explained about the crochet mysteries and gave both her and her partner flight attendant bookmarks for Dead Men Don't Crochet. She got all excited about the book marks and the books, she wanted to give me an on the house drink. Hopeless non drinker that I am I declined. Instead she opened the snack drawer and gave me cheese and crackers and a bag of nuts which was a welcome gift as I got to the hotel late and food operations were limited. The gift became my dinner.
I love Hawaii. Every place I've been on the islands is great. This is my first trip to Kona. My room has a balcony with an ocean view and I could sit and look out forever. There are some side trip possibilities. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go whale watching. Ah, I looked up and the sun is beginning to come out even as I still here the tinkle of rain hitting something. I'm going to go look for a rainbow.

Sounds like a delightful trip, Betty. Hope you continue to enjoy it, sign lots of books--and don't slip again in the rain!

Thank, Linda. I spoke too soon about the rainbow. The sun only teased that it was going to come out.

Ah, Kona!
Hawaii's a great place for people-watching. Never seen so many different body types in one place before or since.

[COLOR="Blue"]The second question I ask because now that I have truly started the 30 queries in 30 days, I'm finding that I can't do it. That's too much.
I couldn't do it either - It wouldn't be sustainable for me because I tend to be a feature writer. I put a lot into my queries. That said I probably spend 30% of my time on marketing (which I define as querying, touching base with editors by phone or email and networking), 5% on book keeping (I suck at book keeping and should bump it up), 10% on looking for story ideas and keeping up on magazines and the rest on researching and writing.
But, I'm wondering is that what the really successful writers do? Or do they do more?
They do what they can And it gets easier. When you have a few mags you write for regulary the whole process is a bit easier.
OK... I have now sent *two* follow-up emails to the editor of my wedding piece. Actually, three. I emailed her saying 'Wassup?' maybe a month and a half ago, and she got me to make some revisions but said she definitely wanted the piece, and was working out which issue to use it in. Then I sent the revised version in, and haven't heard back since, despite two (identical!) emails asking politely what was up.
What do I do now? The last of those emails was only a few days ago. How long do I wait; and after that should I ring her, or what?

Job creation is focused on higher education
Chart 1 illustrates the seasonally adjusted accumulated job creation by education attainment on a monthly basis from 1992-1999 as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. During the 1990s, there was a surge in jobs created for workers with any post-high school degree, including Associate's degrees and Bachelor's degrees (BA). Furthermore, attaining a high school degree was important, as the accumulated job growth was negative for individuals without a high school degree.
Chart 2 illustrates the seasonally adjusted accumulated job creation by education attainment on a monthly basis from 2000 to 2008. The noticeable change is the shift from a surge in job creation for workers with either an Associate's degree or a Bachelor's degree to that with a Bachelor's degree only. Over the last eight years, much of the job growth has been created for workers with a Bachelor's degree (BA) and above, where there has been a lesser surge in employment for workers with some college education (not a BA) or an associate degree. Furthermore, it appears that employers no longer differentiate between workers with a high school degree and those without a high school degree; accumulated employment has remained unchanged for the two education levels.
In the 2000s, job growth has been focused on those workers who have attained a BA or greater, and to a lesser extent, on those workers with an Associate's Degree. Getting a college education is extremely important in the modern job market.
The October payroll survey confirms this fact. Service-sector jobs that likely requires a lower level of education have been contracting since at least June 2008 (the first point on this report):
- Administrative and support services: -59,700
- Temporary help services: -33,600
- Accommodation and food services: -19,400
While service-sector jobs that likely require a hire level of education are still seeing growth or the contraction started only recently:
- Health Care and social assistance: +31,900
- Private Educational services (just a second monthly decline): -11,200
- Government educational services: +18,000
On average longer labor contractions last over 13 months
This labor cycle is proving to be a long one. Since 1950, only four previous recessions have produced 10 or more consecutive months of job loss (as reported by the establishment survey), and on average, the longer contractions last 13.3 months. The 1981-1982 and 2001 recessions produced the longest labor contractions: 17 months and 15 months, respectively. This cycle, which is already 10 consecutive months long, is likely to see more job loss – at least 3.3 months according to the average.
People go back to school when the economy is suffering. That is a rational decision for two reasons: (1) there is likely some momentum left under this labor market's contraction, and (2) attaining a Bachelor's of Arts degree is essential in the modern job market.

Happiness opens a new world of synth inspired tones and textures with low pass, band pass, and high pass filtering. The filter is modulated with an internal triangle based LFO or external CV patched in, and a "scramble" feature, akin to a sample and hold.
Expression jacks for filter cutoff and LFO speed are along the top panel, and CV in and out are on the sides. Happiness internally converts the industry standard 9v power supply to +/-12V for seamless integration with Eurorack modular synth systems, and Dwarfcraft's other CV capable devices. All these features are packed into the same tall enclosure used by the Twin Stags, to maximize controls while minimizing footprint.
As usual, this newest Dwarfcraft Device works very well with a bass guitar, but it's equally at home wringing new sounds out of guitars, drum machines, synths, and electric mandolin. (protip: turn the low pass filter all the way down so no mandolin can come out.)
- Multimode Filter Pedal
- Built in modulation LFO
- External CV input for Filter Cutoff and LFO speed
- "Scramble" feature, similar to S+H
- Seemless integration in Eurorack systems
- Works well with guitars, basses, drum machines and synths

This Pig Was Pregnant And On Her Way To A Slaughterhouse, See How She Saves Her Babies
When it comes to the slaughter of animals, the debate between both sides will always continue to rage on. There are those who believe that humans have climbed to the top of the food chain and do not have any qualms about sending innocent animals to the slaughterhouse. They see no issues with this practice and are vocal about their feelings.
While they are certainly entitled to this opinion, there are also those who see the practice of sending animals to the slaughterhouse as being unnecessarily barbaric. This is merely a post that is intended to highlight the unique role that animals play in this ongoing battle, as opposed to a debate, so be sure to keep calm and grab yourself a glass of water.
Pigs are seen as helpless animals that are merely raised to become bacon or ham for some hungry family. What most do not realize is that pigs have the innate ability to sense when they are about to become someone else's dinner. They know when they are on their way to the slaughterhouse and they are a much more intuitive animal than they ever get credit for.
Just imagine knowing that you are about to get slaughtered. How do you think that would feel? Pretty awful, right? It's the essential equivalent of having a gun placed to your head and knowing that there is absolutely, positively no means of escape.
Rita's heroic escape is the stuff that action movies are made of. Share this incredible tale with your friends and family, so that more attention can be brought to the plight of pigs everywhere. They are much more intelligent creatures than we tend to realize.

Sensational Seppi dumps Federer in Australian Open upset
