Last week I shared with you the buckets that we painted at the Pioneers & Primitives Retreat that I taught at Sassafras Farm in WV. (See that here.)
This is the bucket I worked on while there as a sample for the class. It's a little larger than a regular bucket but I think it would be great to hold dog toys! SOLD!

Richard P. Finnegan on The Stay Interview
We've all encountered a performance review a few times in our life. So often that conversation is about things the employee needs to stop doing. Rarely do bosses and their employees discuss what the employee wants to do more of. That's where Richard Finnegan's Stay Interview concept comes in. Detailed in his new book, The Stay Interview, published by AMACOM, this kind of discussion increases transparency and therefore retention of the quality employees before they start heading out the door.
Richard P. Finnegan is the CEO of C-Suite Analytics, a consultancy specializing in engagement and retention solutions. He has been cited by BusinessWeek and Chief Executive as the leading thinker on employee retention. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Child custody cases used to be far more cut and dry than they are today. Modern multicultural society offers many enrichment's, but at the same time also has some challenges within the court system, particularly in divorce and family law. Courts are being forced to find ways to adapt the current laws to meet the requirements of modern families. Traditional roles used to apply when courts would grant primary custody; females would be awarded custody most often and sibling groups were kept together. While this certainly seems to be the general trend, in spite of there being no statutory requirements for such, courts can and do award fathers custodial privileges and this happens with greater frequency than before. However, today's custody cases will reflect two mothers, two fathers, one father and multiple mothers, and religious considerations. When met with families who don't necessarily fit the letter of the statutes the courts must fall back on case law to try and create and ensure consistency.Jensen Family Law – Mesa
Unique families sometimes provide real difficulties for attorneys because for many it is truly uncharted waters. They don't have that many GLBT examples to work from and in the beginning this can involve hit or mess cases. Everyone loves a "hit" but no one wants to be one of the attorney's "misses" although it is through those cases that the family law attorney to able to improve. Finding an attorney with the background in same-sex oriented families is difficult. Finding an attorney who may have experience with a same-sex family where one partner leaves the first for a straight relationship is even harder. Courts are still made up of people and sometimes those people would look at the two couples that could receive the child and lean towards the option for the child to be put in the straight relationship regardless of how fit the same-sex oriented parent might be. How many attorneys have prior experience with these types of cases? The answer is very few.
In certain areas of the country, there may be religious considerations and "unique" families built off religious foundations of polygamy. Sometimes in the immigrant populations of the United States there are families who are legally married in another country, but, due to bigamy laws in the US, are no longer legally married here. When those relationships break up it becomes difficult for the court to decide on child custody and alimony becomes out of the question with US laws. Issues like this do go before the courts, and the type of attorney becomes very important. Is he or she able to grasp the complexity, does he or she understand international property laws, does he or she understand immigration issues?
Finding the right attorney for any of these types of cases is difficult because the experience is just not there yet for unique families. Certainly you will want to look for family lawyers that specialize in GLBT families or religious divorces and custody, but even then it may be more important just to find someone who believes in you enough to really fight on your behalf in a prejudicial court.

If you don't know what a lifehack is then today is the day you'll transform your life.
A lifehack is a tip to make your life easier, to help you discover the world around you and to perhaps save you time and money. Lifehacks are great ways to enhance your environment, enjoy fantastic relationships and really help you think about what you want to achieve.
Here are the top 5 lifehacks which will enrich your day, put a smile on your face and set you on the path to being successful and happy.
Become mindful
Being mindful is about remembering simple pleasures or the small things in life which are often forgotten in a busy world.
As you live each day, savour your food, listen to your breathing, go for a walk and always have a book nearby you can pick up to read. Set small goals for each day such as cooking yourself a meal, creating something artistic, recording thoughts in a journal and most important of all – laugh as much as possible. These small things will all help you see the world through new eyes, increase your ability to relax and realise what is important.
Make a long distance relationship easier
A long distance relationship was once unusual but is now very common due to work commitments or starting a relationship with someone you've met online and so is not geographically close.
It's often not an easy situation when you want to be someone who means a great deal to you. Plan trips so you have something concrete to look forward to, ensure you communicate as much as possible, surprise them with little gestures such as an unexpected postcard, small token of affection or a message telling them how you feel.
Recognising when you're under too much stress
Too little stress can mean that we aren't sufficiently mentally challenged. Too much stress however can make us unwell and it's knowing when we have too much to deal with and that something has to be done. Take a look at your life and the changes to make if you recognise the following:
– Constantly exhausted but unable to sleep
– Suddenly very absent minded
– Feel ill much more than usual; more colds and feeling run down all the time
– Emotional swings
– Digestive issues such as stomach discomfort and nausea
How long to take a nap to optimise your brain power
Taking a nap will recharge your energy levels and help you concentrate. The amount of sleep though is important as different amounts of time could make you feel great – or groggy.
To get the most from your nap, here are the best – and worst amounts of time to have 40 winks.
10-20 min: your energy levels will be boosted and you'll wake feeling alert. Great for waking up and getting on immediately with your next job
30 min: In the long run you'll feel great but you'll wake up feeling as if you have a hangover and it will take another 30 minutes to shake the feeling.
60min: the optimum time to enrich your brain to be able to remember facts, numbers and names. You'll wake feeling a little tired but this will soon pass.
Keeping a work-life balance
Being snowed under at work can make it hard to justify enjoying yourself in the evenings and at weekends. The temptation to remotely check emails or having your work mobile with you on holiday is a sure sign your work-life balance is tipping in the wrong direction.
Set yourself the following 3 goals and the balance will quickly even itself out:
- Recognise your limits; know when you're doing too much and take some time out for a physical and mental rest
- Increase social activities; the more time you book in your diary to spend with friends or enjoying a hobby, the less work can creep into your life
- Take some days off; everyone will cope without you so don't stack up your holiday allowance, treat yourself to random time off – just because you can

It's nice to look back over your life isn't it? The places you've been, and the people you've known are all part of you, they all shape you in tiny or grand ways. What if you lost the ability to understand your past choices because you had no memory? There could still be consequences to face, the physical ramifications of our life choices don't go away simply because we do not remember.
Accidents, temporary or permanent amnesia, or Alzheimer's disease rob people of their memories more often than we could imagine, and yet their life goes on. New choices forging a new daily existence. Even in those who are very successfully moving forward with a new life have flashes of their old self. Sometimes it's an image, but more times than not it is music that causes memory to come flooding back. And it may be brief, and sometimes confusing, but the memory is still there, simply suppressed.
I loved my grandmother very much but for most of the time we knew one another, she didn't recognize me. Perhaps one day there will be a key to repairing lost connections in the minds of those whose memories seem to be lost forever. Perhaps it will also be able to preserve the new memories made in the meantime. Otherwise folks will still have memory loss. Which is the true self? Either way if it is regain old memories and dump new, wouldn't you still then constantly wonder, "What have I been doing All these Years?"

The Planetarium is an area inside the Museum of Technology.
The Museum is located in the Mall. The easiest way to get there is to take Anacostia Crossing Station to Museum Station and take the Museum of Technology exit.
The planetarium consists of the main hall with the projector, controls and seating for audience. On the side is a maintenance room which consists of tools and other supplies.
Notable loot编辑
There is nothing in the Planetarium itself, but there is a small treasure in the maintenance room. Inside is a Nuka-Cola Quantum and a locked weapons locker. Inside it contains:
- A Missile Launcher and ammo.
- An Assault Rifle and ammo.
- Some caps
- Other random items.
- The key to the cabinet can be found in the unmarked quest, Jiggs' Loot.

Honour killings are quite common in Islam. Honour killings occur especially when a Muslim will change his/her religion – like being converted to Christianity. For Muslims this brings dishonour to the family.
Such a convert will very often have been beaten, chased away from home or ostracised from the family. In extreme cases, such a person will be killed. In such cases it is the "duty" of a family member to kill the person, or somebody else can be asked to do this.
As Christians in western culture such a thing is unthinkable. But when a Muslim becomes a Christian, any one of a combination of these things, can happen to him/her. It is a dangerous and lonely road that awaits converts, unless they can be integrated into a Christian community.
- That this practice will come in disrepute among Muslims.
- Pray for converts to Christianity to escape beatings, ridicule, chased away from home or ostracised from the family.
- Pray that they will not become victims of honour killings.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 – 'But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."

Fryday's ad is for Stella Artois, from probably the 1960s or possibly 70s. From the late 1800s until the 1980s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. I've been posting vintage European posters all last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was created for Brouwerij Artois, which began brewing their popular Stella Artois in 1926. A brewery existed on the same site in Leuven, Belgium, since at least 1366, and in 1708, Sebastiaen Artois became the brewmaster for what was then known as the Den Hoorn brewery. Nine years later, in 1717, he bought the brewery and renamed it the Artois brewery. In 1988, they were a founding member of InterBrew, which went on to gobble up other breweries and today is known as Anheuser-Busch InBev. I don't know who created this poster. The text, "'n Pittig pils, special voor Nederland," Google translates as "A spicy lager, especially for the Netherlands," so this beer may have only been produced for a specific market.

Historic Beer Birthday: Samuel Simon Loeb
Today is the birthday of Samuel Simon Loeb (September 4, 1862-January 22, 1947). He was born in Indiana, but settled in Tacoma, Washington as a young man, and was involved in several area breweries there, first the Milwaukee Brewery (which merged to form the Pacific Brewing & Malting Company) and then the Independent Brewery, before being bought by the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co. After his brewery was acquired, Loeb remained in charge, and after retiring, he and his wife moved to Los Angeles.
This short description of Loeb is from Brewing in Seattle, by Kurt Stream:
Here's an account of Loeb from "An Illustrated History of the State of Washington" by H. K. Hines, published in 1893
S. S. Loeb is president of the Milwaukee Brewing Company of Tacoma, incorporated with a capital stock of $35,000, all paid up. The present officers of the company are S. S. Loeb, president, and A. Weinberg, secretary and treasurer. The brewery was formerly called the United States Brewery, and was organized by D. Stegman and M. Karcsecte. The latter sold out to John Frazier, who continued in the business till May, 1891, when the present firm bought out the concern, reincorporated and formed the Milwaukee Brewing Company. The plant was a small one when they first bought it, the output being only forty-two barrels per day. The capacity has been increased until it is now 125 barrels per day. Their trade extends throughout the Sound country.
Mr. Loeb, the president, was born in Ligonier, Indiana, on the 4th of September, 1862. He was the son of Simon Loeb, who was a prominent brewer. The subject of this sketch was reared in Chicago, where he went when a child. He became concerned in the cigar business with Ruhe Bros. (Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Chicago), and later traveled for the same firm, with whom he continued for four years. He then worked four years for Schloss, Ochs & Co., wholesale gentlemen's furnishers. In 1889 he came to Tacoma and engaged in the wholesale liquor business, which he continued for three years, when he closed out that business, and has since given his attention to the brewing business.
Mr. Loeb was married November 18, 1890, to Miss Blanch Moses, a native of Gallipolis, Ohio. They have one child, Sidney.
Garry Flynn, on his remarkable Brewery Gems website, picks up the story of Loeb after the "Illustrated History of the State of Washington:"
In 1897, four years after the foregoing was written, Samuel sold the Milwaukee Brewery and merged it with the Anton Huth's Puget Sound Brewery, forming a new enterprise – the Pacific Brewing & Malting Company.
In 1899, Pacific purchased the Donau Brewery and closed the Milwaukee plant. Loeb continued with his other business interests in Tacoma, as well as holding a minority interest in Pacific. As late as 1901 he was still secretary of the company. But by 1902 he and his partners from the Milwaukee Brewery decided to actively re-enter the brewing business.
They organized an investment company to build a brewery in Seattle. They named the new venture the Independent Brewing Co. By mid-September of '02, construction was well underway when a fire broke out. Despite the efforts of the Rainier Volunteer Fire Brigade it could not be contained and the frame structure burned to the ground. While this was a major setback the investors regrouped and the plant was rebuilt.
By early 1904 they were in production and that October the investors incorporated the company. The principals in the new company were Samuel Loeb, Herman Klaber, and Benjamin Moyses. Albert Weinberg, Samuel's brother-in-law, was also a part of the company, just as he had been in the Milwaukee Brewery.
The brewery flourished in spite of the major competition with Seattle Brewing & Malting's popular "Rainier Beer." But Loeb's "Old German Lager" was well received in the Seattle area and even found a market in San Francisco.
By now, Samuel's numerous enterprises and real estate holdings had made him a millionaire. A cartoon from a 1905 Seattle publication (below) reflects the image that Samuel projected.
In 1906, the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co., purchased controlling interest in Samuel Loeb's brewery, but he remained in the management position. The brewery had become second in sales behind SB&M so became a target for the takeover.
The Loebs decided to build a home in keeping with their wealth and social status. They erected an imposing Tudor Revival, brick and half-timbered Mansion on Millionaires' Row. It was completed in 1914 but as it turned out, they would not be able to enjoy their new home¹.
While the brewing business was booming, it was not to last. In November of 1914, state-wide prohibition was approved by the voters, to take effect January 1, 1916, giving the brewers one year to dispose of their stock and cease production. Some attempted to shift production to other products, but Samuel chose to close his Independent Brewery.
Loeb decided to relocate to San Francisco, as did the parent company, Seattle Brewing & Malting, in the belief that Prohibition would never be approved nationally. A new Rainier plant was built, but Samuel decided to skip the production phase in favor of marketing his beer.
In 1915, the Old German Lager Brewing Co. was in business. Loeb contracted for the brewing and bottling of his "Old German Lager," a beer already familiar to San Franciscans. He was assisted by his son, Sidney, who served as the company's vice-president, while Samuel assumed the position of president.
By 1918 Loeb dropped the word "German" from the firm's name, no doubt due to the anti-German sentiment from the war in Europe. So it was now the Old Lager Brewing Co., and their beer became "Old Original Lager" but with an identical brown label.
Of course national Prohibition was voted in, and to keep their plants operating many brewers shifted production to either soft drinks or near-beer. Samuel chose the later. He struggled along with this product for four years, but in 1924 he closed the business for good.
Samuel retired, and he and Blanche moved to the warmer climes of Los Angeles, where Samuel became a real estate broker.
On 22 January, 1947, Samuel Simon Loeb died at the age of 85.
Historic Beer Birthday: William Hamm, Jr.
Today is the birthday of William Hamm, Jr. (September 4, 1893-August 20, 1970). He was born in Minnesota, and was the grandson of Theodore Hamm, who founded Hamm's Brewery in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was also the son of William Hamm Sr., who took over for his father when Theodore retired and ran it until he died shortly before prohibition was repealed, when his son William Jr. took over.
Here's a short biography from Find-a-Grave:
William Hamm, Jr., was the grandson of Theodore Hamm, founder of the Hamms Brewery. William Jr. inherited the Chairmanship of the company from his father. In 1933, William Junior was kidnapped by the Barker-Karpis Gang as he walked home for lunch. Hamm was released after 3 days in exchange for a $100,000 ransom.
Here's a brief history from the brewery's Wikipedia page:
The Theodore Hamm Brewing Company was established in 1865 when, a German immigrant Theodore Hamm (1825-1903) inherited the Excelsior Brewery from his friend and business associate A. F. Keller, who had perished in California seeking his fortune in the gold fields. Unable to finance the venture himself, Keller had entered into a partnership with Hamm to secure funding. Upon Keller's death, Hamm inherited the small brewery and flour mill in the east side wilderness of St. Paul, Minnesota. Keller had constructed his brewery in 1860 over artesian wells in a section of the Phalen Creek valley in St. Paul known as Swede Hollow. Hamm, a butcher by trade and local salon owner, first hired Jacob Schmidt as a brew master. Jacob Schmidt remained with the company until the early 1880s, becoming a close family friend of the Hamms. Jacob Schmidt left the company after an argument ensued over Louise Hamm's disciplinary actions to Schmidt's daughter, Marie. By 1884, Schmidt was a partner at the North Star Brewery not far from Hamm's brewery. By 1899 he had established his own brewery on the site of the former Stalhmann Brewery site. In need of a new brewmaster, Hamm hired Christopher Figge who would start a tradition of three generations of Hamm's Brewmasters, with his son William and grandson William II taking the position. By the 1880s, the Theodore Hamm Brewing Company was reportedly the second largest in Minnesota.
Hamm's Brewery c. 1900.
Unfortunately, he's perhaps best known not for having successfully run his family's brewery, but for an incident that occurred in June of 1933. While he was walking home for lunch on that summer day, he was kidnapped by the Barker-Karpis gang and held for a $100,000 (which is over $1.8 million in today's dollars). The family paid the money two days later, and he was released, but the crime reverberated beyond Saint Paul and became a national story. Up until that time, the Minnesota city was corrupt and allowed gangsters and criminals to stay in the city, even finding them lodgings and women, as long as they promised to behave within the city limits. But the kidnapping broke that bargain, and within a year most of the cities corrupt police and officials had either resigned or were facing jail time. You can read more about it in "A Hamm's ransom: How the kidnapping of one of St. Paul's most prosperous brewers reshaped a corrupt system," "Abducted in St. Paul!" or read accounts from the time in Read All About 1933.

Beer Birthday: Ken Weaver
Today is the birthday of fellow Bay Area beer writer Ken Weaver, who's a neighbor in the next town over. If I've done my math correctly, today is his 39th birthday. Ken used to work for Rate Beer, and was also on the staff of All About Beer magazine until they folded. He also wrote The Northern California Craft Beer Guide, with photographs by his lovely wife Anneliese Schmidt. Believe it or not, Ken has a degree in physics from Cornell but chucked it all to follow his heart and preference for writing and good beer. Physics' loss is beer's gain. Join me in wishing Ken a very happy birthday.

Podcast Transcript
Host: Dave Specht, Family Dynamics National Development Manager, Wells Fargo Private Bank
Guest: Karen Josephson, Senior Wealth Planner, Wells Fargo Private Bank
It's hard to predict future college costs or even how technology may change what college will look like 10 years from now. If you are just starting to think about an education fund because your children or grandchildren are still young, how do you best plan for these education costs?
I'm Dave Specht, Family Dynamics National Development Manager for Wells Fargo Private Bank, and this is "Your Financial Journey," a podcast series that explores questions that families of wealth commonly face. I am joined today by Karen Josephson, Senior Wealth Planner at Wells Fargo Private Bank.
Karen, we've seen college costs continue to rise and the whole nature of college may, at some point, be disrupted. In such an environment, what should parents consider when determining whether to invest in a custodial account such as an UTMA or a 529 Plan?
Well, Dave, if you've got a few years before your kids are ready to start college, then the 529 Plan is an option that's very popular and also widely used. With this type of plan, you contribute after-tax dollars, which can then potentially grow tax-free. So the earlier you start saving, the more you can potentially benefit from this compounded tax-free growth.
Another attractive feature of the 529 is that you can frontload up to 5 years' worth of annual gifting into the plan. So instead of being limited to $15,000, which is the annual exclusion for gifting for 2019, according to the IRS, you can contribute up to five times that amount, or $75,000.
But keep in mind that this would require you to file a gift tax return and you'd be limited over the next five years for gifts to that same beneficiary. And also if you were to die within that five-year time period, a portion of the gift may be included in your taxable estate.
The one thing to note, Karen, is that withdrawals are tax-free as well, but only if you use them to pay for qualified education expenses for the beneficiary of the account—like your child or grandchild. Otherwise, the withdrawals or the earnings may be subject to a 10% penalty or taxes. Is that correct?
Yes, Dave, that is correct, which is why some parents or grandparents prefer the flexibility of a custodial account called an UTMA, also known as the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. With an UTMA, parents can transfer funds and other property to their children without having to create a formal trust. That said, the 529 plan and the UTMA are flexible in different ways. For example, the funds in an UMTA belong to the child and can be used for more than just education purposes, whereas the 529 plan belongs to the account owner, who can change the beneficiary, but the use of the funds is limited to qualified educational expenses.
I can see the pros and cons of both. I'm sure most of us love the idea, Karen, that the 529 plan potentially grows tax-free and the withdrawals are tax-free. This can really help grow that education fund. But on the other hand, UTMAs have more flexibility in how the funds are used. So how do you determine the right approach?
While both accounts can be used for college savings, there are three key differences between the UTMA and the 529 Plan that parents should consider:
This first is what are the tax implications. Since UTMAs are considered the child's assets, a portion of the earnings are exempt, and then a portion may be taxed at the child's rate called the Kiddie Tax. In contrast, the earnings on a 529 plan can potentially grow tax-free and also the qualified withdrawals are exempt from federal taxes.
The next thing to consider is who controls the account. For an UTMA, the parents or custodian of the account control it only until the child reaches the age of majority (which varies from state to state). At that point, neither the parents nor custodian has a say in how these funds can be used since the gift is irrevocable. Whereas with the 529 plan, the account owner controls the plan and if the beneficiary no longer needs the education funds, the owner can change the beneficiary to another qualified family member.
Finally, the third thing to consider is the impact on college financial aid. The child is considered the owner of the UTMA account, which may reduce the child's ability to qualify for financial aid. But with the 529 plan, the assets are not owned by the child and therefore not counted as part of the resources for determining financial aid.
Those are important considerations, Karen. What specifically would you recommend our listeners do as they think about the best approach for their specific circumstances?
I would suggest having a conversation with their financial and tax advisors about how the assets likely will be used, as well as the tax implications. If you want the assets earmarked for educational purposes only, then the 529 plan may be a good option. However, if you want to use the assets as part of a broader gifting strategy, the UTMA account would provide more flexibility.
Karen, thanks for sharing your perspective. There are a lot of things to consider there. Thank you to our listeners for joining this podcast.

Video Made the Direct Mail Star
A good idea can go far in the world, but a good idea that is properly marketed stands a better chance of success. This is the reason why marketing promotions for books that promise to show people a new way to live focus as much on the authors and their credentials as they do on the ideas in the books.
But as Michael Weil notes, "It's hard to manufacture experts with [direct] mail alone." Weil is senior product manager at Boardroom Inc., the Greenwich, CT, publisher of Bottom Line/Personal newsletter, along with other newsletters and books. One of the products in his charge is "Natural Healing Encyclopedia," a book of alternative healing strategies developed by Dr. Gary Null.
The current promotion for Null's book is a 10" x 13" magalog that has been the control since late 2002 (105BOTLIB0204). In addition to the slightly icky illustration of a pair of artery cross-sectionsone blocked and one clearon the cover, the other main feature is a boxed-out photo of Null and supporting copy that denotes his television appearances on PBS and shows such as "Oprah" and "60 Minutes."
According to Weil, these broadcast outlets supply the direct mail promotion for "Natural Healing Encyclopedia" with more authority. PBS in particular, he says, is a good connection to promote to the average Boardroom customer; these buyers are, for the lack of a better term, information junkies, explains Weil. And, PBS is synonymous with quality programming. When Boardroom says Null's concepts were "proven on TV," Weil laughs, it's clear that it doesn't mean on an infomercial at 2:30 in the morning.
Boardroom is not the only marketer to go this route recently. Companies like CompassioNet, a direct marketer of health supplements, and Rodale Inc., a direct marketer of books and magazines on cooking, gardening and health, also have been spotted using the "as seen on TV" approach. And Consumer Reports magazine mails a control magalog (202CONREP0204) that pictures a handful of testing directors at the magazine's parent company, Consumers Union, showing that there are real people behind the claims of thorough, scientific evaluation of leading products and services.
Interestingly, the control prior to Boardroom's current winner for "Natural Healing Encyclopedia" was another tabloid-size magalog that placed even more of a spotlight on Null. Accompanying a large photo of the doctor was the following blockbuster headline: "Man of the Decade!" This cover treatment beat its predecessor by 40 percent, shares Weil, who chalks up the demise of the earlier "Bang! You've Got a New Body" cover to the world-altering Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
As for the transition to the current control, Weil calls it a lesson in not giving up on winning ideas. In the fall of 2002, Weil invited the copywriter of a "winning loser" campaign tested at the same time as the "Man of the Decade" mailing to rework his approach. The result is the control with the arteries graphic.
When it is suggested to him that the image likely works because it borders on the edge of disgusting, Weil points out that this reaction is just what the copywriter was seeking.
Weil adds that this copywriter enjoys a strong track record with Boardroom
already, which helped the company back him on testing such a disturbing image. But Weil notes that it's likely his team would have given the idea a try anyway. And he advises other marketers not to give up on their "winning losers" either.

This Article Alone will cause this book to sell thousands of copies
I read this article with a smirk and laughter for a couple of reasons. One reason is the totally asinine reason that some of the libraries refuse to stock this book, "bad reviews". Seriously! That is the best they can do? "Bad Reviews", that is laughable, every book in every library in every city and county gets a bad review from time to time, some more than others, it is the nature of the beast. They sure did make themselves look silly with that one.
The second excuse they use is "Soft Porn" but then back up and say they do have a couple of books that are now classics which has so called "soft porn." The last one really set me off- that they don't stock self published authors. Really?! why not? Indie authors are soon going to be the norm. We have broken that taboo. Get used to it. Now to add to the insanity of their refusal is the fact this is on the best seller list and the author did it before it went to a traditional publisher.
I am appalled at the censorship I am seeing here. I am not a fan of porn of any kind, however, would someone please tell me what century we are in. The last time I looked it was the 21st Century and we see porn on TV during prime time you know those hours between 8-11 pm.
The actions by these libraries will only create more sales of this book. Word gets around and if someone can't afford a book, well they know how to borrow it. This is laughable big time.
'Fifty Shades' too steamy for some library shelves
By TAMARA LUSH | Associated Press – 3 hrs agoRelated ContentFILE- This file combo made of book …
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Public libraries in several states are pulling the racy romance trilogy "Fifty Shades of Grey" from shelves or deciding not to order the best-seller at all, saying it's too steamy or too poorly written.
Even in the age of e-books and tablets, banning a book from a public library still carries weight because libraries still play such a vital role in providing people access to books.
"When a book is removed from the shelf, folks who can't afford a Nook or a Kindle, the book is no longer available to them," said Deborah Caldwell Stone, the deputy director of the American Library Association's office for intellectual freedom.
"Fifty Shades of Grey," a novel about bondage, wild sex and yes, love, has been called "mommy porn" because of its popularity among middle-aged women. It has become so well-known that "Saturday Night Live" performed a skit about it, joking that a Kindle with "Fifty Shades" uploaded on it was the perfect Mother's Day gift.
This week, the steamy books hold the top three spots on the New York Times best-seller list.
Libraries in Wisconsin, Georgia and Florida have all either declined to order the book or pulled it from shelves. Other states may soon follow.
"It's semi-pornographic," said Don Walker, a spokesman for Brevard County, Fla., where the library put 19 copies of the book on the shelves then pulled the novel after reading reviews about it. Some 200 notices had to go out to people on a waiting list to read it.
Librarians in at least four Florida counties have declined to buy the book — even though hundreds of people have requested it. Reasons range from not having the money to poor reviews.
"It doesn't suit our community standards," said Cay Hohmeister, director of libraries for Leon County — where Florida's capital, Tallahassee, is located.
In Gwinnett County, Ga., a suburb northeast of Atlanta, all 15 library branches will not carry the book.
"We do not collect erotica at Gwinnett County Public Library. That's part of our materials management collection policy. So, E L James' three books in the trilogy fit that description," said Deborah George, the county library's director of materials management.
A copy of "Fifty Shades" sits on George's cluttered desk. Wedged in it are nearly a dozen yellow sticky notes at various pages of sultriness.
In a nutshell, here's the plot: Anastasia Steele, a virgin who has just graduated college, meets Christian Grey, a rich and impeccably handsome young entrepreneur. Grey shows Steele his "playroom," full of whips, ropes and sex toys, and asks her to sign a contract to be his "submissive" sex partner. Before Steele signs, the pair romp mostly around Seattle — where the novel is set — performing a stunning array of erotic activities. As the sex gets more daring and Steele's emotions more tangled, drama ensues.
Here's one of the milder excerpts from the book:
"But last night, in the playroom, you…" he trails off.
"I do it for you, Christian, because you need it. I don't. You didn't hurt me last night. That was in a different context, and I can rationalize that internally, and I trust you. But when you want to punish me, I worry that you'll hurt me.
His gray eyes blaze like a turbulent storm. Time moves, and expands and slips away before he answers softly.
"I want to hurt you. But not beyond anything that you couldn't take."
Books with sexual content, and just as controversial as "Fifty Shades," have long been — at least for a time — banned during their debuts. Gwinnett County, Ga., carries about a million books in its system, including the steamy passages from Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" and Vladimir Nabokov's provocative "Lolita." These and other novels have gone on to reach best-seller lists quickly, and some are taught in public classrooms.
Library collections should be diverse, the American Library Association said, but should also reflect what people want to read. And decisions on what to buy shouldn't be based on content alone — budgetary constraints, shelf space and bad reviews all come into play.
A book's provenance also can make a difference. Some libraries have policies against acquiring self-published books or books published by non-traditional means.
The "Fifty Shades" trilogy took a non-traditional route to its paperback form: the author self-published in e-reader form, and many people felt comfortable reading it on tablets because those devices kept the novel mostly private, unlike a hardcover book. It was also published by a small press in print-on-demand trade paperback editions.
Because of the books e-popularity, Vintage Books, a division of Random House Inc., acquired the rights and published them April 3. So far, the books have sold 3 million copies in all formats, the publisher said, though it wasn't clear how many were in paperback.
Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Random House, said Brevard County is engaging in censorship by taking the book off the shelves.
"We believe the Brevard County Public Library System is indulging in an act of censorship, and essentially is saying to library patrons: 'We will judge what you can read,'" Bogaards wrote in an email.
Caldwell Stone said other libraries are in a gray area — no pun intended.
"All libraries have to make these kinds of decisions," Caldwell Stone said. "It's so hard to judge the decision to acquire or not acquire the book."
To be sure, most major libraries in Florida and across the country are carrying the novel. The Pinellas County, Fla., library system has 30 copies and more than 650 people on a waiting list. Broward County carries 26 copies and has more than 730 people waiting.
Reviews of the book have been mixed. While The Guardian of London called it "jolly" and "eminently readable," the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph said the writing was "appalling," "hackneyed" and readers would have to wade through "pages of treacly cliché."
Hohmeister said those kinds of reviews went into her decision not to buy the book for libraries around Tallahassee.
"It has not received what we would consider good reviews," she said. "It doesn't meet our selection criteria."

An Exception to My Rule- Adding a Blog About the Unprofessional treatment at Beals Department Store
I am breaking one of my rules on this site- but it is my site so I can. However, on the other hand this could be an example of how not to treat people no matter what you do. So here goes.
I guess I am just old school but I was taught from the time I started working for my dad in his business at five years old that the customer is always the customer even when that customer is wrong. And if you as the business owner want that customer's return business you must understand that the customer is indeed your boss. That is how I have always tried to treat my customers no matter the job I was in at the time whether it was collections, retail, or doing what I do now – so with that being said let me tell you what happened on Monday at Beals Department Store on US1 in Port St Lucie Florida.
I had received a gift card from my daughter in law for Christmas. So I decided that while my girlfriend was visitng that we would go shopping – I hate shopping so it was good that she went with me. I needed a new pair of houseshoes and off we went. While in Beals which by the way I can never ever find anything to fit me shoes or clothes we walked around the store for over two hours and finally found one pair of dearforms in size 5 – then we found a killer grey jacket on sale aloang with a top and another neat little cover up. Yep we were on a roll. I was a happy camper not only had I found some neat clothes they were all and I repeat all on sale. $300.00 dollars worth of clothes for only $118.00 – I was in heaven.
Off we go to the check out counter and stand in line for get this 20 minutes. But all was well. I was still a happy camper. We get to the register and I explain to the cashier that I will be using my gift card and any overage I would pay for with my credit card. No problem! I happily and gleefully stand there while he rings up my treasures. I loved that jacket.
He takes my gift card and puts it through the system! Then he says
"I am sorry our system is down and it won't take it? Do you want to pay for it with another form of payment or we can hold your things until tomorrow and you can come back?"
Excuse me? You have no way to accept my gift card because your server is down? You have no way to accomdate a customer because you rely on a server that decided to have a brain fart? Where is your manager?
So he calls one to the register where there is still a line behind me all the way back to the mens section.
This cute blond comes happily pushing a buggy up to me and says "Do you need a buggy?" What?
I replied "No, I need a manager." Her reply was "What can I do for you?"
I said, "Are you a manager?" She said, "Yes the Store Manager."
Great now we are getting someplace. I explained to her my problem. She looked at me like I had two heads.
Her response was, as she made a circle around her face with her hands, " Do I look like the world wide web? I can't help you!" This comment was made in a very condensending voice –
Well, that set me off as much as I wanted to fall to her level and explain to her in no uncertain terms just how unprofessional she was, I just quietly hand my treasures back to her and said, "Well you just lost a sale." I turned and walked out of the door.
It gets better. I had about 20 minutes to think about this confrontation as I drove home. When I got home I called corporate and spoke to the supervisor named Fredrick. He was all apologic and said that he would fix it. According to him apparently the server was down in four stores in our area, and the gift card server is separate from the credit card server.
He asked me what would it take, I told him and he said that he would call me back on Tuesday and it would be resolved. Today is Wednesday. I told him when I talked to him that all of our family shopped at Beals and because of this episoded that that would cease immediatly. And that I would be blogging about it.
I gave him his required 48 hours. He didn't call me yesterday like he said he would – so yours truely will not be going back to Beals for any reason.
The manager at the store had a way to make me happy, according to Fredrick she could have called corporate and had them do a manual transaction to keep her customer happy. However, she chose not to. Apparently she made what ever problems she was having that day my problem and I fixed it for her. I will never shop there again nor will I recommend it to anyone I know.
I told Fredrick if I treated my customers the way I was treated my books would never sell!
So if you are in the south Florida or Florida area don't shop at Beals!!!!!

Vero Beach Florida Event on Sunday Dec. 11th
Well if you lived in Martin County, St Lucie County or Indian River County and did not attend the event yesterday in Vero Beach at the Heritage Center you missed a wonderful opportunity to get some wonderful deals for Christmas. I was there along with 25 other vendors who sold everything from cupcakes to jewelry to clothes to my books. It was a great event. The event was for charity.
In spite of the rain there was a great turn out of people who bought like crazy.
I arrived shortly after nine o'cock and proceeded set up my table. Joy of all joys I had an entire eight foot table. I never have that luxury at any event. I usually have to share a table. Cramming all of my books and marketing tools on half of an eight foot table can be a challenge. But this day I was able to spread out and show all my wares plus do a bit of decorating. It was heaven.
The day was full of wonderful people, beautiful things and great buys. I am so proud to be part of this yearly experience. I hooked up with old friends, made new ones and look forward to participating in this event again next year. And yes I will have yet another new book maybe two out by that time. So if you missed it this year put it on your calender for next year. It is a great time to buy those last minute gifts, those hard to buy for people and just a chance to buy a Christmas gift for yourself.

The Dark Side is Part of History Too
As with all history there is the dark side. That side that no one can believes happens. But it does. It is as much a part of the lives of those who have gone before as the good side. Such is the story of the young women that Gerard Schaefer kidnapped, tortured and murdered between 1966 and 1972. This is part of Florida History. It is the dark side. The lives of these young women was extinquished before they even had a chance to live. The lives of their families was forever changed. The future of these young girls and women will never be known. Gerard Schaefer saw to that.
The way that law enforcement solved crimes took a different path. The way that they communicated changed forever. No longer was murders kept hidden within a department. They began to talk to each other, the term serial killer came into being. Method of Operations was monitored by the different departments. They watched for patterns and acted on those patterns. Gerard Schaefer changed the way the general public felt about a man who wore a uniform. The trust was gone.
Silent Scream is the story of this time in Florida History it has become a best seller on Amazon Kindle. It gives the girls a voice- a voice that until now has been silent.
The Last Rites-
St. Lucie County was just getting back to normal after the arrest – and conviction of Gerard Schaefer when a body was found in a remote area of Fort Pierce, Florida. There was no identification, the body was in full decomp and law enforcement was at a stand still. They didn't know if they had another serial killer on their hands or if this was just a random murder or a domestic violence murder.
This young woman 33 years old had been left to fade away into nothing as her body was ravaged by the creatures of the night and the elements of the Florida sun and heat. There was no one to report her missing-
The Last Rites is the story of Pauline Metler who was brutaly raped and executed while saying her Catholic Prayers. Her story and her death effected those who worked the crime even to this day. She was buried by the County in a Paupers grave with no stone for rememberance. It is time to remember her.

Have you Ever Wondered What It Would Be Like To Sit Down and Talk To A Serial Killer?
Bet the title got your attention! No I haven't had that experience – however I have studied them enough and researched them enough that I pretty much understand their twisted evil minds. With that in mind- my book Brilliant Insanity is written in first person through the voice of a serial killer.
Lewis Rienheart only have five days to live before he is executed in Florida. He has been allowed to tell his story to the world. Law Enforcement and the news media are beside themselves because finally they are going to get a confession. However, Lewis has his own agenda and he refuses to be rushed and he refuses to leave out any detail of his crimes. Lewis wants the world to know why he did what he did. He has no remorse- in fact just the opposite is true- He feels vindicated. He is proud of what he did.
However, before Lewis will let the world in on his secret he has conditions and surprisingly enough those conditions are met. Enter Amanda McQuaid- rookie reporter- She has never covered a big story before and has no idea why she was given the assignment. She is not sure she wants to take this one on- However- it was this or the obit section. With much trepidation she chose the assignment.
Lewis is ecstatic finally he will be able to tell the world what really happened!
But all is not as it appears! Brilliant Insanity will take the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotional insanity.
Listen to Lewis as he weaves a tale of murder- brilliance and insanity. Read how Lewis makes the story all about him and his needs, wants, desires and impulses.
Decide for yourself if he was justified in his actions- Decide for yourself if he really should have gotten away with murder.

Yes I Can Write Something Beside Murder and Mayhem….
For those of you who have asked me two questions, Why don't you write comedy and why don't you write about bounty hunting since you are one. Well, the answer is here. I have don't both with help from a fellow author and wonderful friend Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc.
We started a series last year titled When Fates Collide. The story line involves two of the most unlikely characters to ever slam into each other. Meet Alex Morgan- a no nonsense Bounty Hunter who has to constantly prove her ability in this male dominated world. She has no sense of humor- she only sees the jumper and her pick up. She has seen it all and heard it all. She always gets her man no matter what she has to do. Until she meets Hope Harrington.
Hope Harrington the name of Alex's latest jumper master of disguises- can be anyone at anytime and uses aliases like a second skin. Alex finds Hope in a goth bar in Ybor City, slams her jumper to the ground and after handcuffing this person finds out that she is not who she was supposed to by.
Hope Harrington- the real one is a mousy secretary who finds her inner self trolling the goth bars in ybor city. Her life has been boring to say the least- She has a dead end job, no social life, and lives alone. She hates confrontation and she really hates Alex who has just humiliated her in front of her few friends. But she hates the person who stole her name even more. Against Alex's better judgement she allows Hope to help her catch her jumper. The chase takes them from Ybor City to Key West in the middle of Fantasy Fest. The jumper changing faces like clothes.
Much to Alex's chagrin Hope proves that she can hold her own and comes up with creative and unique ways of catching the jumper. Along the way the two unlikely pair encounter some of the people who have helped Alex on other jobs and Hope is not overly excited about them.
The second in the series which has just been released is titled When Fates Collide Mardi Gras Bound. Alex is on her way to New Orleans for a fun filled two weeks of Mardi Gras fun when she gets the call. A jumper has headed from Tampa to New Orleans. Her name is Marie Laveau. Alex is not happy. Hope is even less happy. She was looking forward to visiting a city she has never been to before. She is even less happy when she meets Alex's contacts in the Big Easy.
The dialogue is written in fist person by both of the main characters. The back and forth will keep the reader laughing until they either cry or wet their pants. Alex with her sarcastic wit- Hope with her total disbelief that someone as smart as Alex is involved with the shady characters in her life. Hope teaches Alex and Alex along with her misfits teach Hope and in the end they get their man or woman.
Part of the dialogue borders on the vein of a Abbott and Costello routine. Throw in a few oddball characters and you have the makings of a comedy to beat all comedies.

Do You Have Trouble Getting Your Kids to Read History Because They Say It Is Boring?…
How many of us sat in your history class and held our eyes open with toothpicks because the class was so boring. So many dates, name, places, battles, and blah, blah – blah- Snore!
Well I decided to make at least part of history fun to read. How many of you know about Andersonville, Ga? I thought so. How many of you know about Andersonville Prison? Again, I thought so.
So before I tell you about the fun part here is a mini history lesson.
Andersonville, Ga. is located in south west Georgia. During the war of Northern Agression is was at the end of the railline which provided supplies and transportation for both the north and south. The decision was made by the powers that be to build a prisoner of war camp in Georgia becasue the prison in Virginia was overflowing, winter was approaching and there was no place to put anymore men. There was no way to keep the men warm during the winter that far north.
The ideal place was Andersonville. It was at the end of the rail line it was away from the fighting and the weather was not that harsh. However, they didn't count on the seasonal rains, the mud, the lack of water, the destruction of the rail lines and supply trains or that Sherman would make his march to the sea destroying everything including crops, rail lines, supply trains and lives including those of his own army.
My release A Voice From the Grave takes the reader on a historic ride through the Battle of Chickamaga, the decision to make Andersonville the site of the worst prison camp of the south, and the men who were involved. However, the story is told with a twist. The history is factual down to the buttons and belt buckles of the union soliders.
The plot is fiction- but it could have happened. The setting of the story is factual, Andersonville does exist as does the musuem, the visitor center and the curator of the museum.
This book is exciting- and a learning experience one that will stay with the reader once they have turned the last page. It will soon be available in Audio
The Book is currently available on Amazon, amazon kindle, nook book, itunes, lulu.com and my online book store http://thebookattic.ecrater.com You the reader have the options to download to your iphone, ipad, ipod, computer and of course kindle or nookbook. When the audio book is released it will be in mp3 format and then you will be able to listen to it on your kndle, ipod, in your car on your computer and other devices with audio capablities.
There is no reason why you or your child should not love history.

The is a theory out there, that if you are famous and mentioned in a Half Man Half Biscuit song, then you will die. There is (as ever) a web page devoted to it: http://halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk/because-i-aint-got-a-job/those-no-longer-in-need-of-season-tickets/
Peter Kay, long time annoyer of taxi staff everywhere, former booze advertiser, comedy genius, and reportedly "nice guy", cursed more entertainers in the space of two charity single videos than Half Man Half Biscuit could manage in such a short space of time.

Designs being finalised for boutique hotel in East Nashville
US: Designs are in the process of being finalised for a boutique hotel in the works next to Attaboy speakeasy and The Basement East near Five Points in East Nashville.
The four-storey hotel, which has yet to be branded, will replace an auto repair shop at 916 Main Street.
Developer Mark McDonald said: "The walkability of East Nashville is pretty unique, and the bar and restaurant scene is really cool. I think it's only going to get cooler."
The hotel will feature 24 rooms, equally divided between one- and four- bedrooms suites which cater to individual and group travellers alike.
McDonald combined with Mark McGinley to buy the space for $975,000 in April. The development became possible due to federal tax breaks for projects in areas recently designated as "opportunity zones", or low-income neighbourhoods, which require redevelopment.
McDonald said: "The fact that it's in an opportunity zone is just the icing on the cake and it will spur development of East Nashville."
Boutique hotels are now becoming popular investments in East Nashville, with Fieldhouse Jones currently developing a hotel two blocks away and another property at 931 Main Street under construction.
Furthermore, Van Dyke Bed & Beverage opened in Five Points in April and the Russell opened at 819 Russell Street. The latter is a 23-room boutique hotel in a former church, which includes both singles and group suites.

RESTORAN THE BIRD 5 Jalan 3/62DMedan Putra Business CentreBandar ManjalaraKepongKuala LumpurTel: 012-3149882Business Hours: Daily, lunch (10.30am-2.30pm); dinner (5.30pm-11pm). Closed on Wednesdays.
THE bird is an auspicious animal for the Chinese as it brings happiness and freedom.
Based on this, restaurant owner Desmond Liew and his partners decided on the bird to be the centre of their business concept.
Owners Desmond, Jimmy Liew and James Leong named their restaurant after a 10-foot bird-shaped congkak (a traditional Malay board game) belonging to Desmond.
To complement the name, the owners also introduced three menus named Early Bird, Evening Bird and Late Bird.
The dishes in these menus however are not bird-based. They are much more diverse, covering many a Malaysian favourite.
Restoran The Bird, however, specialises on serving a fusion of Malay, Thai, Nyonya and Chinese cuisines.
The Early and Late Bird menus comprise snacks such Roti Bakar, satay, noodles and rice dishes like Steamed Seafood Rice in Pot, Chicken Porridge, Curry Mutton with Rice and Assam Fish with Rice among others.
The Evening Bird menu lists the a la carte selections.
While the appetisers see small servings of Fried Sotong, Grilled Kembong, Pandan Chicken and Marmite Chicken Wings, the main dishes are separated into Chicken, Beef, Shrimp, Lala and Fish and the side dishes under Egg, Tofu and Vegetables.
Jimmy, who is chief chef, is pretty innovative in creating interesting dishes.
One dish in particular is the Thai Black Pepper Chicken Wings, which is actually just a snack. He learnt the recipe from a friend when they were working in a restaurant in New Zealand.
The only difference in their recipes is that Jimmy's version has deep-fried chicken wings while his friend prefers the barbecue version.
Jimmy, who also started the D n J Nasi Lemak outlet before he went to New York, said the wings are first marinated with black pepper, coriander seeds and mustards before they are deep-fried.
Some of the recipes are akin to Western cooking style but use homegrown ingredients.
Bird's eye chilli, curry leaves and curry powder form the main ingredients in the Butter King Fish recipe.
Butter and milk are added to give the deep-fried garoupa its fragrant and creamy taste and texture.
A Thai-inspired dish is the Thai Basil Leaf Shrimp, which has a thick and spicy homemade sauce that uses galangal and chilli with the basil, giving the dish its herbal aroma and flavour.
Jimmy has not forgotten to add to the menu his famous Nasi Lemak Chicken Curry made popular at D n J.
The dish is served on a woven tray lined with banana leaves.
Another irresistible must is the Sarawak Laksa with its thick and spicy gravy.
The paste, says Jimmy, is flown in regularly from Sarawak.
"We don't just cook the gravy with the paste. Instead, we add seafood paste with galangal to improve its taste," he says.
With Desmond being an actor as well, it is not surprising to find the outlet's décor artistically inclined.
It's attention-grabbing fuchsia exterior is enhanced by a sunny yellow interior and grass green floor.
Though the colours may appear too strong for some, they do wonders in highlighting the antique cookery tools used for décorating.
Among the décorations are photographs of Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, James Dean and Frank Sinatra.
On the ceiling, birds' cages converted into creative lamps add warmth to the place.
With all the details given to the interior, one can only agree that Restoran The Bird speaks of the owners' passion for all things unique.

Plan International Australia release bushfire guide for parentsBy Jared Prestwidge
THE bushfire crisis across Australia is at the forefront of the public consciousness right now, but have you thought about how it may be affecting children?
Since the bushfire season began in August, children have watched on as more than 10 million hectares have burned.
Research from the Australian Catholic University has shown that between seven per cent and 45 per cent of children suffer depression, anxiety or distress after experiencing a natural disaster.
So, as Australians brace for another week of dangerous fire conditions, Plan International Australia recently launched a guide to help parents talk with their children about out-of-control fires and disasters.
The How to talk to your kids about out-of-control fires guide, co-authored by child psychologist Karen Young, is free and offers simple and practical tips on how to support children who may be distressed by fires, sirens and emergency personnel nearby or news reports on television about fires in Australia.
The guide offers key steps in how to approach these conversations with young people, such as:
- Letting children know that what they are feeling is okay. Validating fears and feelings, but from a position of strength;
- Reassuring children who express fear or anxiety, but answering questions honestly, with as much information as they need to feel safe;
- Helping children understand they are not alone and reminding them that there is a community of emergency workers, charities and people around them doing good;
- Talking to children about the importance of keeping up to date with weather and warnings and including children in family fire plans, making sure they know their vital information such as emergency contact numbers;
- Encouraging children towards acts of kindness and equipping them with a sense of helpfulness rather than helplessness in an emergency
Plan International Australia director of advocacy Hayley Cull said this summer's horrific bushfires could fuel anxiety, distress and even depression in young people and that it was critical parents acknowledged their feelings and provided reassurance.
"This summer's unprecedented fires are a stark reminder that the climate emergency is upon us. Even for children who are not directly affected by this disaster, it can be very scary as rolling news coverage heightens anxiety," she said.
"Children might respond in many different ways to news of the fires. They might feel scared, sad, confused or they might feel nothing at all. Let them know they aren't alone, and that whatever they are feeling is completely understandable.
"Parents are best placed to allay anxieties and to provide the facts, as well as talking about hope for the future. But it can be hard to know where to start. That's why our experts in child protection have created this guide. We hope it serves as a useful conversation starter and helps families to navigate these difficult times."

By Cox, Professor BrianBy Cohen, Andrew
Jupiter: The Ruthless One - Mars: The Doomed One - Sun: The Fiery One - Saturn: The Beautiful One - Pluto: The Mysterious One We're living through an extraordinary time of exploration. A fleet of space probes are continually beaming data from their sensors back to Earth. Hidden i...n this stream of code are startling new discoveries about the worlds we share with the Sun. We will piece together these remarkable and often surprising findings to tell the greatest science story of them all - the life and times of the Solar System. What emerges is a dramatic tale chronicling the adventures of eight planetary siblings. Born from violence, they grow up together, in time becoming living and breathing worlds, only to fade away one by one as they age. Along the way each world takes on its own unique character which we will come to know as we cross the vastness of space and time to visit them. We'll place our cameras on the surfaces of these worlds at moments of heightened drama. We'll give readers a glimpse of the most memorable moments in the evolution of our star system. Along the way we will meet all eight of the major planets, plus a supporting cast of moons, asteroids and comets, and a mysterious as yet unseen world way out beyond the Kuiper belt...Read more
