Oakland County is home to Mid Michigan-based Yeo & Yeo's newest office
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Yeo & Yeo
, a CPA firm based in Saginaw, recently announced that it has expanded into Oakland County thanks to a merger with Hauswirth+Moncreif PLLC of Auburn Hills that became effective at the beginning of September.
Hauswirth+Moncreif, which will now operate under the name Yeao & Yeo, will expand its tax, audit, business consulting and business valuation services as part of the merger agreement.
The new offices will have a staff of six and are located at 691 N. Squirrel Road, Suite 100 in Auburn Hills.
"This is a very exciting time for Yeo & Yeo," says John Kunitzer, president and CEO of Yeo & Yeo. "The merger allows us to have closer access to our current clients and gives the firm a distinct presence in Southeast Michigan. We chose Hauswirth+Moncrief because it is a growing firm that wants to provide additional services for its clients. Both firms share the culture of community involvement and personalized service that our clients expect."
The merger is expected to add approximately $1.5 million in revenue to Yeo & Yeo, which earned just under $30 million last year. The company employs over 180 workers in offices throughout Michigan.

Dog Central opens in Mt. Pleasant
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Hungry for a great hot dog? How about a hot dog unlike any you've ever tried before?
In either case, you should make your way to downtown Mt. Pleasant and stop by and say hello to Paul McFall at his newly-opened business, Dog Central, located at 111 East Michigan Street.
The restaurant has been "nearly open" since January, and folks have been rather rabid about getting their chance to try McFall's recipes. The restaurant's
Facebook page
has been all aflutter about when the doors would finally open and when the hot dogs would begin flowing.
Dog Central officially opened Aug. 13 and the response has been impressive already. Even with the downtown construction potentially keeping away some potential customers, Dog Central has been packed for lunch each day.
The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. until 4 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Interested in trying some interesting hot dogs? How about the MacDaddy Dog? That comes with macaroni and cheese and bacon. Or the Slaw Dog? Coleslaw, tomatoes and French fries. Or the Goober Dog? An odd combo of shredded pickle, chili, crushed Fritos and peanut butter.
Don't worry, there are some traditional dogs, too, like the Detroit-style Coney and the always-tasty Chicago dog.

Creme de la Creme Cupcakes opens in Mt. Pleasant
Tuesday, August 07, 2012
Hey, you. Yeah, you. You've got a sweet tooth, right? Well, we're going to tell you a little secret about where you can get your fix in Mt. Pleasant.
It's a little cupcake shop that just opened at 201 East Broadway across from the Broadway Theatre called
Crème de la Crème Cupcakes
The shop recently had its grand opening and the cupcakes have been flying off the shelves ever since. Why? Well, it's not every day you can just wander around Mt. Pleasant and find such delicacies as a Sweet Pink Lemonade cupcake, or one called Cheeky Cheery. How about a Chocolate Strawberry Cupcake? The ones that everyone has been raving about, including the Downtown Development Association, are the cheesecake cupcakes, which are available in either blueberry (yes, please!) or strawberry (yes, please, again!).
The selection of cupcakes changes daily at Crème de la Crème and you're pretty much guaranteed to find a flavor you like and that will help you satisfy that sweet craving you get now and then.

Saginaw Chippewa tribe opens Soaring Eagle Hideaway RV Park
Tuesday, August 07, 2012
While we're not big on camping (to each their own, right?) we sure know a lot of people who are, and a lot of those folks consider using their recreational vehicles as the best way to do it.
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan
recognizes that RVs are a big part of the traveling culture these days and decided it was best to open their own park for guests traveling through the area. The Soaring Eagle Hideway RV Park officially opened last week at 5050 East Airport Road in Mt. Plesant.
The project, which was built by the Horizon Construction Group out of Madison, Wis., was built in conjunction with the construction of the Soaring Eagle Waterpark and Hotel, which also opened recently.
The property features 67 RV lots--each with water, sewer, and electricity hook-ups, concrete pads, fire pits, picnic tables, and free Wi-Fi access. The park is situated on a 25-acre lake. There is also a clubhouse, walking trails, laundry facilities and a playground.

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Looking for some quality used furniture, antiques, home decorations, candles or clothing? Well, you should head on over to
Fantastic Finds
in Clare.
The new company, which is owned and operated by Lisa Hignite and her family, is located at 418 McEwan Street by the Clare Fitness Center. There you can find quality used items and some new products, too. In short, there are a lot of "fantastic" things to find.

The store is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Mt. Pleasant shop opens with two businesses specializing in fireworks and guns
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Like things that go "boom"? Well, you should probably head on over to Mt. Pleasant and have a chat with Dave Haynes and Bill Johnson.
Those two fellows are the co-owners of two new businesses located at 6823 East Pickard. The first, Showtime Guns and Ammo, and the second, All-Seasons Fireworks, both carry pretty much what their names suggest.
The duo definitely know their way around fireworks, too. Haynes and Johnson spent about 17 years running fireworks stands on a seasonal basis prior to moving into their new location.
Showtime sells handguns, shotguns and ammunition, including some used items. They offer trades, consignment sales and a layaway program.
All-Seasons sells those little packages of big explosions, such as firecrackers, bottle rockets and more. The business is open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Ann Marie's Gifts and Home Decor opens in Beaverton
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
If you're traveling through Beaverton anytime soon, you should take a quick stop at
Ann Marie's Gifts and Home Decor
, which recently opened in the Mid-Michigan town.
The store, located at 128 West Brown Street, provides local artists with a place to showcase their crafting talents. The store features jewelry, wood carvings, canvas art, local barn photos and weddings pictures, curtains, duvet covers and custom seamstress work. In addition, Ann Marie's features a local Amish family's baskets and handmade soaps and wooden signs and hand painted barn quilts utilizing old windows, doors and other items.
Inside one of main street's old brick buildings constructed in 1917 and first opened as a bakery, Ann Marie's features an old tin ceiling that has been copper patented and an old wooden floor to add to the rustic feel of the business.
"Bringing back businesses into downtown Beaverton is a priority and a welcome change of scenery," says Ann Heath, owner of the new business. "After seeing so many empty buildings over the past few years, it seems as though new life is being breathed back into Beaverton. Our local florist moved downtown, and is offering some lovely gifts as well as fresh arrangements. Pics Petals and Scents also moved their business downtown this year."

Woody's Twisters opens in Saginaw
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
It's warm today. Far too warm in the Second Wave offices, actually, and has us bemoaning the fact that we don't have an ice cream parlor anywhere nearby.
The folks on Bay Road in Saginaw don't have that problem. Now that
Woody's Twisters
is open for business, folks are lining up to get some cool, refreshing soft-serve ice cream. And why not? Owners Steve Wood and Paul Wood, who are brothers, opened their second location recently and offers flurries, sundaes, banana splits and more. What's the coolest? The Flavor Burst, which is a shot of flavor injected into traditional vanilla soft serve.
The Saginaw location--the first is in Breckenridge--allows customers to use the drive-through window for goodies on the go or simply walk-up to the counter.
Either way, it sure sounds good right now!

Goltz Dentistry adds dentist, changes name
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
There are a few changes being made over at
Goltz Dentistry
in Bay City--namely a name change and a new employee.
Dr. Linda Goltz, who has operated out of her Bay City offices at 800 S. Euclid Avenue since the early 1980s, recently opted to change the name of her practice to Generations Family Dentistry. The name change was prompted by the addition of a new dentist to the office: Dr. Abby King--Goltz's daughter.
King recently earned a doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Michigan and her addition to the office will have an impact for patient's too--longer hours and the ability to have better emergency response time.
The office is open from Monday through Thursday. More information can be found at the company website.

Midland-based cupcake shop eyeing Bay City expansion
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
When the
Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe
mentioned during a
feature story with Mid Michigan Second Wave
that they were considering opening more shops in the near future, there really wasn't much of a timeline in mind.
It looks like that may have changed now as the company's
Facebook page
recently stated that owner Carrie Fisher is considering a location in Bay City. The company, which was started in Midland, already has a shop in Saginaw at 404 Court Street that opened last September. That shop is currently open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and until 4 p.m. Saturday.
" BAY CITY FANS....weigh in.....WASHINGTON ST vs. SAGINAW ST! Help us decide! Remember, its your cupcake shop, we just work here!," posts the company on its Facebook page.
The Gourmet Cupcake Shoppe uses top-quality ingredients and makes a large selection of cupcakes as well as other treats.

FILE - In this Tuesday Feb. 26, 2013 file photo, Free Syrian Army fighters take their positions as they observe the Syrian army forces base of Wadi al-Deif, at the front line of Maaret al-Numan town, in Idlib province, Syria. America's Arab allies have dramatically stepped up weapon supplies to Syrian rebels in preparation for a push on the capital Damascus, the main stronghold of President Bashar Assad, officials and Western military experts say, with one official saying airlifts to neighboring Jordan and Turkey have doubled the past month. The U.S. and other Western governments are involved to channel the flow toward more secular fighters, they say. The influx appears to be boosting a rebel drive to seize supply routes from the border with Jordan to Damascus. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla, File)

Forbidden Arms
Challenge hordes of ninjas in this epic action adventure game.
4.13 / 5.00 39,362 ViewsKeep An Eye
Help strange creatures to bring the eye to a mysterious customer.
3.74 / 5.00 12,565 Views* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
its glitchy, i fell through platforms several times, and the controls were not at all smooth like the actual portal game. in the end i was to frustrated with it to finish the game. it was fun up to the point that i really needed responsive controls. plus no GlaDOS, which really made the game. this game had huge shoes to fill, and it let me down. i can't give this a high score. sorry.
would be fun but...
at every moment where i am near a red wall (and for some reason only near a red wall) , the movement sensitivity increases dramatically meaning if i tap left, the character will just rush to that direction which messes up everything. this fixed = 8 stars
I can't get past the 28th level because once I solve the whole thing I can't jump the space. When I try to jump the guy just keeps running and falls. Has happened three times in a row and I have had no trouble at all jumping any other spaces. This game gets a two for making incomplete and frustrating content.
Takes forever to load..too complicated controls!!Good game for beginners
It does not feel like portal to me. You die a lot and its usually about how fast you can place a new portal.

It's Like A Fan: Facebook Changing
This post in 140 characters or less: Facebook changing from "fans" to "likes" -- what does your brand do that people like? http://bit.ly/4fL8V by @joemarchese
Soon people traveling the interweb won't be becoming "fans of brands" on Facebook,but instead will simply have to acknowledge they "like" a brand. According to the All Things D, who broke the story (and has images), not much else is changing. As the memo from Facebook to advertisers says, "your fans are still your fans." So what does this change mean for brands?
For one, semantics are very important. Facebook is betting that, based on their data, people are more likely to click the "like" button vs. the "fan" button. This will allow brands to form more connections to consumers through the Facebook platform, and allow Facebook to become an even more integral part of brand-consumer communication.
Is this good news for advertisers? Yes and no. Yes, because I believe the change will have the intended impact, and brand campaigns in social media will result in more "fans" (Can we still call people "fans"? "Likers" just doesn't work). But it will also mean more work for the brands once they gather fans. If people are more likely to become fans of more brands with the like button, it will mean brands have more work to do to cut through all the noise. Please, if you are working on a social media strategy that focuses on gathering fans, read "A Facebook Fan Isn't Your Marketing Pincushion."
Something else brands, and Facebook, should keep in mind is that for a while people will click the new "like" button because the ad is funny, interesting or relevant, because clicking the like button right now is a very lightweight way to demonstrate support. But as people realize that clicking the new "like" button leads to a semi-permanent bond between them and a brand, that rate may decrease.
In the end, this simple language change will help to smooth the process of people connecting to brands using the Facebook platform. The big question to brands is still: How do you engage your fans? What value do you offer them? Remember, Facebook has a formula for what shows up in people's "main" news feed, because there is just too much noise for people to see everything. The best way to end up in the main news feed is to put items that people find interesting, relevant and valuable into your fans news feed to generate comments, likes and additional shares.
So what will your brand do that people will like?
0 comments on "It's Like A Fan: Facebook Changing".
Great article Joe. I think the more Facebook changes its formula, the more it will drive people away from using it. I don't know if I "like" all the changes it's making.
It's an interesting change that, in my opinion, focuses on taking advantage of the "ambient intimacy" that social media enables.
By semantically "lowering the bar" to "like" instead of "fan", it seems reasonable to assume more people will connect with more brands. What makes this interesting is that, in the "traditional" marketing world, a customer had to LOVE you in order to "evangelize" for you in any way - time, effort, etc. The ability to easily leverage connections with people that only "like" you - both directly, and by having these linkages visible to other people in their networks - could prove to be a very big deal.
Clicking on Fan can assume one is going to be tagged for something. Like not so much.....Yeah right.
I like Facebook as it was, but of course everything changes. That is why people need coaches to help smooth the way. And that is why people write books of "self help" as I did when I wrote Ahead of the Curve, an intimate conversation with women in the second half of life. I hope that "fans" of the book will still consider buying it...once they can only "like" it. www.readaheadofthecurve.com

"Consumers are showing their approval of our renewed emphasis on product design," said Darrell, as he reported raised earnings and sales guidance numbers for fiscal 2014, ended March 31; forecasted improved growth for fiscal 2015; and announced a $250 million company stock buyback to award shareholders for their confidence.

yea ans no, depends on experience. For instance I had a fulltime job starting from when I was 14 and rented out my own apartment, had a F'ed up life, and had to grow up early because my dad is a douche. So I tend to be more wiser then many twice my age.
For the record, I wasn't talking about you specifically, but thanks for proving my point. ;)
I understand that you weren't but the only way is to use knowledge based on experience to prove its validity. glad to help
Kind of sounds like my life, sucks, but it really does make us wiser at a younger age. We tend to learn from our mistakes, thus making less, in the long run. I wouldn't change a thing tho...
Absolutely possible. Someone who's had to make his/her way in the world at a young age would be much wiser than someone older who'd been sheltered.
I've seen some ten year olds that are wiser than a lot of 40 to 50 year olds.
Age isn't the defining factor of wisdom. Wisdom comes from knowledge and experience. If one is wise, they often show respect, and is humble. I always think of Einstein's approach to knowledge. "If one can't explain something in less than two sentences, they don't know it well enough." One should be able to elaborate if asked to on that topic. Wisdom's other factors come from empathy and tolerance. If one is wise, they will be able to connect to the person they are talking to, and formulate a structured response in a way that the other party can understand and empathize to. One who is wise will also be tolerant to new ideas and people, and have an open mind. Wisdom means not taking things for granted, and recognizing what you have. Wisdom means being able to be able to spread more wisdom to others, who will then spread their wisdom and knowledge to others, and so on. However, to be wise, you must first be willing to accept the wisdom. Wisdom is calling for you. Will you answer?
I also find it irate and offensive. I can't believe that some people don't believe a teenager can be into a mature topic, such as quantum physics. I may not be wise, but I've been called a fake teenager, because some people on here can't believe that a 15 year old can write a semi-detailed response on literacy rates. I know that the majority of teenagers take everything for granted, and don't take the time to appreciate the universe (and multiverse). It hurts me to see people that believe that teenagers cannot formulate proper sentence structures and can't spell right. I always try to make my responses thoughtful to serious questions. I've seen many more teenagers that actually respect other people, and actually enjoy having discussions and debates about the origins of the universe. I've seen plenty. And here's what I think. To go back to your original topic of wisdom, if someone believes that only a select section of age groups can be wise, then they aren't wise. Wisdom comes from appreciation, knowledge, and acceptance, not from age.
I know several other teens who are capable of high intellect thought processes, and I will tell you, I've seen some prodigal single-digit age children with more wisdom than some of the 50 year olds on here.
It is possible, although that implies that you've learned something through experience that you've applied in your life that someone else who's older hasn't. It's all about applying what you've learned.
Yes, some people don't seem to get any wiser with age, lol.
#some people like me don't seem to be able to act on their newly learned wisdoms, lol.
Some kids astound me by being ahead of the percieved average of not just intelligence but common sense, reasonableness and the ability to balance the logical with the emotional (illogical) when discussing issues.
Also there's a clear difference between similarly aged teens countries like the U.S. and U.K. in the percieved average wisdom and maturity (that I personally*** percieve) from my experience.
In my opinion wisdom comes from experience. I think the youth of today are more wise a.s.s.ed than wise .
I know when I was 14 and out in the cold harsh world on my own, because my mental capacity's were not fully developed I made choices I would not choose today because I am older and therefore wiser.
But, the youth of today is growing up much faster than in my day and dealing with much harsher world so I can't take that away from them.
Yes, it is possible. Life experiences bring people many different places and at many different levels. We are all individuals and process things differently. I think it all depends on how we choose to deal with what life deals us and how we are raised. I'm noticing that most, but not all, kids these days don't know crap! These 17 and 18 year olds are unreal, spacey, lazy and sadly clueless. But, on the other hand, I have seen kids that same age, wise beyond their years due to life experiences.
Wisdom does not come with age, it comes with experience. Theoretically, older is wiser as we automatically think that people actually live and learn but we should realize that many of them are just exist.
Well, who would you think was more mature?
A 30 year old who had been sheltered all their life, never encountered death or abuse, and generally spoilt?
A 17 year old who had been abused and encountered suicide, had no one and had to learn to be completely self-reliant?
My son and I equally turn to each other for advice. I've 'lived more', he is more clued up about financial or computer malarky. He's a smart cookie and I'm not ashamed to learn from him.
The question is meaningless until you define "wise."
Possible, but not the general case. Wisdom comes from life experience.
Yes: I'd take Mahatma Ghandi at 7 over ...Snooki...or....Britany....or ....Kim Kardashian at 67 any day.
To answer your question, yes. However, this is not typical. Adults have the benefit of experience, and if they can utilize that experience and learn from it, they can gain wisdom. Not all adults learn from their mistakes though...
I used to think I had a good grasp on things as a teen, as I'm sure most teens do. Had certain attitudes towards things formed by my experiences up to that point. And ba
Yes it can happen. Age has something to do with being or getting wise but not always cause what a human goes through in life can also make him wiser and experience is the key.
See our politicians:
They are mature...They are old.....They have lots of experience....YET THEY DELIVER BULLSHIT..............
Let a single young guy or girl take a position in parliaments....and you'll see they have the guts and capability to transform our debt ridden nation into vibrating ones
The truth is younger people haven't lived longer enough. You learn from experiences,that's why "God" blessed you with "Parents".
Ahhh,I'm so sorry to hear that,it can be a caretaker,who ever is taking care of you,I was speaking of birth parents,though. It break my heart to know your parents are cruel to you. I'll be praying for you and ask "God" to bless you with "Wisdom". "God" bless you "Sweetheart",I would take you......;))
Some people are just plain stupid and never get smart. Someone might be 25 and had done more years of good thinking than somebody ten or twenty years older, especially if the experience gap wasn't that big.
Of course it is. It all depends on your levels of comprehension, maturity, introspection, life experience, etc. If you grew up in a sheltered existence, wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, and then turned out onto the street penniless when you were 30 years old, you'd be FAR less able to function in life than someone who earned every meal they were able to get. Experience counts for a lot.
You are absolutely right! Age is not a determinant of wisdom.

Warning over 'vishing' call scam
Around one-quarter of UK adults are at risk of a growing telephone scam involving them being tricked into handing over their personal details to a conman posing as a legitimate body such as their bank or the police.
Financial Fraud Action UK (FFA UK) said it has seen a £36 million increase over the last year in crimes involving either online and phone banking, purchases made online and over the phone or criminals filling out fraudulent applications.
At least £7 million of this has been put down to a scam known as "vishing", according to the body, which works to prevent fraud on behalf of the financial services industry.
Almost a quarter of people in the UK (23%) have received a cold call requesting personal or financial information, potentially meaning they could go on to become a victim of the scam if the caller was not legitimate. Four in 10 people (39%) admitted they found it challenging to tell the difference between a genuine and fraudulent call, FFA UK found.
The body estimates that around one in 25 UK adults may have already been duped in such a con and around four in 10 (43%) victims are estimated to be aged over 50 years old.
Vishing involves a fraudster posing on the phone as someone from a bank or building society fraud investigation team, the police or another legitimate organisation such as a telephone or internet provider. They attempt to get financial information which often includes card and bank account details, pin numbers, as well as information about the victim, such as their full name, date of birth and address, which they can then use to plunder the victim's account or commit identity fraud.
Conmen can also deceive the victim into transferring money themselves from their own bank account to one which is accessible to the fraudster. A variation on this scam involves the victim being persuaded to withdraw money from a branch or ATM to pay those behind the fraud.
Almost a third (30%) of consumers were found to have received at least 10 cold calls per month, with two-fifths (41%) of people suspecting that they had received a fraudulent or suspect call. Older people were much more likely to receive calls that they felt were dubious.
The fraud prevention body said people should not be afraid to just put the phone down on someone if they are unsure about handing over details. It warned consumers not to assume a caller is genuine just because they hold some information about them. Criminals may already have got hold of some basic information about a potential victim, such as a name, address and account details to try to make the call appear legitimate.
Cold callers who suggest that you call them back to check authenticity can also keep your phone line open by not putting the phone down at their end. FFA UK is also warning consumers that their bank will never call up and ask for their four-digit card pin or ask them to withdraw money to hand over to them or transfer money to another account, even if they say it is in the consumer's name.

Ferguson-Pardew spat rumbles on
©Getty Images
Ferguson said Pardew was "the worst" at haranguing referees and accused the Newcastle boss of "forgetting the help" he offered him at difficult stages of his managerial career. The Scot has been the centre of attention since his march on to the Old Trafford pitch to condemn referee Mike Dean for awarding the visitors' controversial second goal in the hosts' 4-3 win.
Ferguson is clearly furious with Pardew, who claimed Dean might have handled the situation in a different way and that Ferguson was lucky not to get sent off. The Scot said: "Alan Pardew has come out and criticised me. Alan Pardew is the worst at haranguing referees. His whole staff, every game."

A compact portrait of a troubled author in "The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad"
John Stape's "The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad," might well have been subtitled "Thirty Years of Debt, Gout, Depression and Angst." Stape delivers a usefully compact, if not vibrant biography that draws on materials not available to his predecessors (including Conrad biographers Frederick R. Karl and Jocelyn Baines).
Seattle Times book critic
"The Several Lives
of Joseph Conrad"
by John Stape
Pantheon, 369 pp., $30
Pity the novelist who aspires to create high art. He may eventually find his place in the literary pantheon after his death. But during his lifetime, the prospects aren't so pretty.
These thoughts are brought on by reading John Stape's "The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad," which might well have been subtitled "Thirty Years of Debt, Gout, Depression and Angst."
Stape, a part-time resident of Vancouver, B.C., is co-editor of "The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad" and the general editor for Penguin Classics' fine new reissues of Conrad's best works. He certainly knows his stuff, and he delivers a usefully compact, if not vibrant biography that draws on materials not available to his predecessors (including Conrad biographers Frederick R. Karl and Jocelyn Baines).
Stape's long familiarity with Conrad and his distaste for the author's later fiction seem to have dulled his enthusiasm for his subject. If you want to find him enthusing about Conrad, turn to his introduction to "Typhoon and Other Stories," where he declares, "These stories handle alienation, cultural displacement, economic exploitation and the erotic (in the widest sense). They have lost little of their relevance or fascination in the century since they were first published."
And to remind yourself just how fine a phrasemaker Conrad was, turn to "Typhoon" itself: "Captain MacWhirr, of the steamer Nan-Shan, had a physiognomy that, in the order of material appearances, was the exact counterpart of his mind: it presented no marked characteristics of firmness or stupidity; it had no pronounced characteristics whatever; it was simply ordinary, irresponsive, and unruffled."
So who was this author whose heavy Polish accent made his often flawless command of English on the page difficult to credit?
Conrad ("Heart of Darkness") was born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, an ethnic Pole in what was then Russian territory and is now part of Ukraine. His parents were ardent Polish nationalists who fell afoul of the Russian authorities (his father was a political prisoner at one point), and Conrad's boyhood was deeply unsettled.
His parents died young of tuberculosis, leaving Conrad orphaned at 11. With some reluctant guidance from an uncle, Conrad went to sea at 16 — and encountered the worlds that inspired some of his best fiction: the Congo, the Malay Archipelago. He soon developed what Stape calls "lifelong habits of overspending, getting into debt, and counting upon others to bail him out." And he picked up English somewhere along the line — how, exactly, has been lost to posterity.
He published his first novel in 1895. Late marriage (1896) was followed by late fatherhood (sons born in 1898 and 1906). By 1900 he had published two acclaimed masterpieces — "The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' " and "Lord Jim" — but he was a sick man.
Brilliant work kept coming — "Heart of Darkness," "The Secret Agent" — but debilitating gout and bouts of depression were unrelenting. His wife was crippled by knee trouble. The kids kept getting sick. Expenses kept mounting, and his inability to keep to a budget reduced him to begging from friends again and again.
Finally, as he was completing "Under Western Eyes" (1911), he suffered a complete nervous collapse. A turnaround came with Conrad's first bona fide seller, the novel "Chance" (1914). Stape argues that, with few exceptions, the work that followed wasn't up to snuff (Conrad died in 1924).
Stape turns up some tidbits I haven't come across before: a Christmas "playlet" performed at Stephen Crane's house in 1899, co-written by Conrad, Crane, Henry James, H.G. Wells and H. Rider Haggard; more contact between Conrad and the early 1900s gay demimonde than other biographers have remarked upon (friendships and acquaintances, not liaisons); brief meetings with pianist Artur Rubinstein and writer T.E. Lawrence.
Stape also notes the influence Conrad has had on writers as various as William Golding, John le Carré and V.S. Naipaul. Still, he finds him "not quite a 'great' novelist" even as he admits that he "speaks for an awareness of fragmentation so quintessentially modern that his voice, a century and a half after his birth, remains powerful and authoritative."
I'm more inclined to go with critic Michael Gorra's assessment of Conrad: "He showed us worlds we had not seen before, and he made technical innovation respond to the pressures of history itself. No writer of his time did more to change the stories the novel in English can tell, or indeed the way it tells them."

Luck of the Irish
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and as I made my plans for the "Wearin' o' the Green", I started thinking about other Irish cultural traditions in America. My curiosity got the best of me, so I did some digging and, lucky me, I learned a few things!
- Do you know why we wear the green? To make ourselves invisible to leprechauns, of course. Forget to wear it, and those mischievous little creatures will sneak up and pinch you.
- Want to have a truly traditional Irish meal on the holiday? Make bacon and cabbage instead of using corned beef, which only came to be used as a less expensive alternative to bacon by Irish immigrants in America.
- The phrase "luck of the Irish" is also American-born. It came into popular use during the gold and silver rush of the late 1900s, when "lucky" Irish and Irish-American miners became rich and famous.
An old Irish saying goes, "There are only two kinds of people in the world: the Irish and those who wish they were." That may be true, but for at least one day a year, everyone gets to celebrate like the Irish!

Hello Krystyna
Thank you for the link, when started researching, knew that my grandfather Mikolaj Chmielewski was minor Szlachta and I learned a lot about the way of life of Nobility as my first point of research, had no idea where to start
About myself, of what I have discovered, besides being born in Australia of immigrant parents in 1951. My mother's family comes from Niwna, 60k from Zhitomir and 30k from the River Slucz. I only found this out 3 years ago. The area was part of the failed Soviet Experiment of Marchlewsczina and Zhitomierczinia. Around this area they also tried to standardize the Polish language in the way it was written, before the Soviets took over.
Half my relatives were deported to Kazakhstan or Siberia. My mother's immediate family stayed on and were forced to work for Kolkhoz, my grandfather who lived in Niwna and his brother who lived in Bykowka, had land and servants in their houses. My grandfathers brother had 30ha, something to do with being a Sailor during WWI. They survived the great hunger and were then were forced to pay exorbitant taxes to the soviets, who took all their land and animals. My grandfather hid his brother in his house at Niwna, because the soviets wanted to kill him for having too much land. They had a choice in working for Kolkhoz or being deported. My grandfather who was a Geometrze, had his job taken away and was given the position of managing the diary, because he could read and write, but during the time of the Skargi, dobbing in, was arrested by NKWD , at age 47 in 1937 and taken away to Sverdlovsk, in the Ural Mountains, imprisoned for life, he never returned. He was always outspoken and the family received a letter saying he had drowned while felling logs into the river. This is difficult to believe, as during WWI when he was a Ulan in the Czars Calvary and captured by the Germans, he escaped by swimming the River Volga and returned to Poland via Finland and Denmark around 1918. His son had to take his place in the Kolkhoz in 1937, as a tractor mechanic and later was conscripted into the army which was being used to free Warsaw. My mother was forced to work in Kolkhoz as bookkeeper at age 14, then she went to work in the fields, running away from the threats and advances of the Kolkhoz manager.
In 1942, my mother Helena, was taken to work in Germany as slave worker with her sister. After the war, my mother immigrated to Australia, her sister went back home to Ukraine, my mom never spoke about her life, living in terror that the soviets would kill or hurt her family, until 3 years ago, I started asking questions and looking. In 2008 I made first contact with my uncles' grandson, after 67 years, found some family alive, we try to communicate but there is a language barrier between my written Polish to my uncle in Poland and my Ukrainian to my aunties in Zhitomir, Ukraine. I know more history than they do. They do not want to speak of the bad times or do not remember as they were very young.
I know much and can contribute to your group and know I will learn much more.

Have you ever turned a ladybug into cancer?
OK, I know the usual expression here is "turning a molehill into a mountain," but I'd be remiss if I didn't share my latest adventure in overreacting with you.
I was brushing my teeth last Tuesday morning when I noticed in the mirror that I had a rather large brown circle on my upper arm. Blind without my contacts in, I freaked out that I developed what was obviously skin cancer on a portion of my skin that had not even a freckle when I'd gone to bed the night before.
In what was probably only a nanosecond, my mind rolled out the series of results of this latest tragedy — the medical bills would put me in financial ruins ... I wouldn't be able to take care of my kids because of the chemo ... everything I'd worked so hard for would be gone ... I'd die of cancer ... my children would be orphans.
In hindsight, it seems almost comedic, like a slow-motion sequence, my head angling down to look at the evidence of my death sentence, my eyes wide with horror — only to discover that it wasn't a mole at all, but an innocuous little ladybug perched on my arm.
(Now, having just discovered that my life had been spared, one would think that I'd handle this much better news with a little aplomb. But no. I did the whole girly shrieky thing, complete with jumping, screaming, and flicking the little monster across the room as if it was still the personification of the angel of death rather than an innocent insect.)
Of course, I'd immediately gone into panic attack mode, and I'm certain my blood pressure was also through the roof. But I'd launched my toothbrush somewhere behind the laundry hamper, and by the time I fished it out, I'd managed to calm down considerably.
I consider myself a rational person. At times, I even consider myself a sane person. So I'm always taken aback at my mountain-building abilities. It seems like I'm constantly getting myself in trouble by leaping to conclusions without having all the information. For me, it's a fight or flight response, which was pretty useful in caveman days, but not so much nowadays when you accuse your boyfriend of straying just because he called you five minutes later than he said he would.
I used the ladybug story because it's a great example of this intrinsic fault of mine. But more often than not, it's a real person (whom you can't, and probably shouldn't, flick across the room) that gets caught in the caveman crossfire.
So if you're anything like me, and have any desire to let molehills be molehills, (or let ladybugs be ladybugs), here's a few helpful tips from Good Housekeeping magazine's health and wellness columnist Sarah Mahoney (with a little paraphrasing by me, New Castle News' expert mountain-builder):
Find the Nearest Exit ...
•Breathe deep and get the heck out of the room. Even if you still want to respond to a jab or back-handed comment 24 hours later, you'll be able to do it more rationally and calmly and hopefully not look like a freak on fire.
Look Who's Talking ...
•Make sure that the person you're overreacting to is indeed an expert in the field he/she is criticizing you in. If your father-in-law has a doctorate in laundry folding, then he's probably right that your son's jeans don't have the crease in the right place. If not, consider the source and let it go.
Just This Once, Don't Call a Friend ...
•It feels sooooo good to complain to your BFF, but if the two of you sit around hashing this out for eight hours over a pint of Haagen Dazs and enough Chinese take-out to feed a family of four, you're not going to feel any better about it in the morning. And let's face it, your rear end can only take so much "commiserating" before you've doomed yourself to another six weeks at the gym.
Check Your Ego ...
•While I'd like to think the world revolves around me, the sad fact of the matter is, it doesn't. On the down side, it probably should, and I'll just have to deal with that. On the upside, not everything is my fault. Maybe the neighbor didn't wave today because he simply didn't see me.
Meditate, Don't Ruminate ...
•Don't brood about things. Brooding is the bricks by which the mountain is made. My alliteration here is pretty cool, so maybe I'll write some poetry instead. You can meditate if you're not a writer. Just don't meditate about the thing that's ticking you off.
Sing Your Own Praises ...
•Make a list of your strong suits, and know them by heart. This way when the situation arises, you can list them off. So you forgot to sign your kid's field trip permission slip, and you feel like a bad mom. Well, you've fed them, you've clothed them, and you've kept them alive for this many years. AND you floss every day. So there.

Lisa Madras: Is it a molehill or a mountain? You really CAN decide
- News Bloggers
Gary Church: Oh, I've got call waiting, but it's not what you think
As an old dude, I have tried with all my heart to keep up with all of the new technology. This venture will now be a thing of the past. I am finally giving up and taking my place with the people of the stone age.
Lisa Madras: Don't be a tattle-tale? That's a dangerous double-standard
Is it ever OK to be a tattle-tale? Tattle-tale ... isn't that an ugly word? The dictionary defines it as "a child who tells a grown-up about something bad that someone else has done."
Josh Drespling: Despite what 'they' say, I'll take my idols any day
"They," in their infinite wisdom, say to never meet your heroes. "They" say that you will be greatly disappointed with the stark and complete reality of said person.
Gary Church: Boy, I'd like to give my two cents to the lady in charge of the change tray
I'm cheap, but not real cheap. I was paying for something that came to $2.32. Sitting on the counter was one of those loose change trays, where you can drop some change in or take some out.
Tim Kolodziej: I never realized how popular I am
I've never realized how many people are thinking about me today. I've never realized how many people want what's "best" for me.
The Couch Potato: Does '30' rock? It's only the best sitcom — ever
The Couch Potato has written about a lot of different television shows over the past months, hitting on great dramas, comedies and everything in between.
Gary Church: Hey, do they serve fries with that burrito?
I come from a long line of fussy eaters. My mother may have been the queen. When she made biscuits, she would spoon the center out, and eat only the outside of the biscuit.
Lisa Madras: Feeling stuck? It's time to figure out why
Why are you where you are? Geez, if this isn't a loaded question, I don't know what is. This one is going to make up dig deep. Real deep. And before the digging even starts, we have to define what we mean by "where you are."
Gary Church: Mexican food, amazing bass and a private chat with Jen — can it get any better?
Did you ever have one of those weekends that you hated to see end? It all started Friday, when after 10 years of driving the same old car, I got a new one. I got a RAV4.
Tim Kolodziej: Heading in the right direction? We've got a '50-50' shot
Ever drop a buck or two on the 50-50 at a high school football or basketball game? Life is a lot like that, you know. Sports, especially.

Hello all! I am looking for a good chess app for my iphone. Here's what I really want out of my app:
1. An Engine: Moderately strong, good enough to give me a challenge. Maybe an ELO of about 2000+?
2. A two player mode: I would really like a mode with two players, especially if it could automatically switch sides based on who's move it is.
3. Tactics/Puzzles: When I am on my computer, I prefer to play live chess. It would be great if I could work on tactics while I was going mobile.
I already play correspondence on chess with friends, so that's not an issue concerning this app I want. Do any of you know an app that meets the three criteria I listed above?
Check out shredder lite and if you really like it buy the full version. It has a strong engine, you can make moves for both sides in a game and it has tactics puzzles.
Good luck
I second the comment on Shredder. I have it on my iPhone and it seems to do a good job of adjusting itself so that it is not too easy nor too hard where I would get discouraged.
Shredder is great, strong, and has a really nice puzzle function, but as mentioned doesn't doesn't have the two player mode. tChess Pro can handle the two player mode, and is most likely strong enough to give a good challenge for quite some time. It doesn't have the built in tactics puzzles like Shredder does, but with tChess you can load pgn databases with positions and play them out against the engine. Personally, I enjoy both and wouldn't want to do without either!
Another great, and free, option that is both really strong and can do two player is Stockfish. No puzzles though.
It says that t-chess can only play up to elo 1200, shredder lite is free and seems to play up to 1500 elo. Does T-Chess do puzzles? Also how is the two player mode? I know you can click "enter moves" on shredder, but idk about T-chess.
tChess lite only plays up to 1200, tChess pro (more expensive) is supposed to be up to 2500 and has a lot more functionality, if it's in the budget. One of those extra functions is supporting pgn databases, so while tChess doesn't have built in puzzles, you could load a pgn database of tactical positions and play them out against the engine. Not as nice or clearly defined as Shredder's puzzle mode though....
tChess is about the same as Shredder for two player, with two big differences. First, you can turn the engine off completely and flip the board manually (one button press) to pass it back and forth without the engine trying to move for you. Second, you can also flip the top pieces so that you can sit on opposite sides of the board and play with it between the two players, acting as a virtual chess board - works with an iPhone, but especially nice with an iPad!
did that second paragraph describe tchess or shredder?
But isn't it engineered for one player? So it will look right for one player and bad for another? Also, on shredder if you hit enter moves it won't move for you.
If you flip the top pieces you're always looking at your own right side up, but your opponents upside down. Yeah, it does look kind of wierd, but is functional one you get used to it.
Shredder doesn't move for you if you're entering moves, but I think it does if you hit the flip board button. Otherwise black will always be at the top while passing it back and forth. Maybe there's a way around it, but I haven't found it.
Stockfish is a free one you should also definitely check out for 2 player. New game/play both and flipping the board works really well.
Oh I see what you mean about tchess, it flips it so white's pieces look correct on white's side, and black's pieces look correct to him too. But the opposite color won't look right to either player. And yes, shredder moves for you when you flip the board. But I guess Shredder has puzzles, so that's pretty much a dealbreaker to me.
Maybe download stockfish, it's free and it's 50-2500 elo.Very nice and clean looking app. In two player mode there is a flip button so it makes pass and play very easy
Yep, they're both great, in different ways - like I said, I wouldn't want to do without either!!
Have you looked at the chess.com iphone app? The computer mode on that actually lets you set it up so that it's in human/human mode, and would work really well for 2 person mode too - better than Shredder's. Also free.
It looks like stockfish would be good for twoplayer. Does the bot really play at a 2500 level? This seems like it could be the ticket, without the puzzles :(. Are there any other apps with a good engine, two player, and also puzzles? I've seen lots of other recommendations, but without puzzles.
Probably is > 2500, Stockfish is one of the strongest engines out there.
There are other puzzle options, but not in an integrated app like Shredder that I know of. TacticsTrainer is a nice app. Also, using the Tactics Trainer app within the chess.com app is nice, but it limited without an upgraded membership.

Teaming up with Edmunds.com, Parents has only included models that come equipped with antilock brakes and front, side, and side-curtain air bags. These vehicles also come with family necessities such as sliding rear seats, smart storage for toys, and other amenities that make the drive that much smoother. You may be surprised to learn that not many minivans or SUVs made the list. The picks aren't in any particular order and are broken down into categories such as sedans, hybrids and large vehicles.

Artisan: Prokritee
"A women earning helps the entire family because the women invest their earnings in family. Then the family's betterment brings good impact on the entire community because of money circulation at different levels or circles."
Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bangla) is an agency that is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged women who have little or no other opportunities. Most of the women employed by Prokritee are the heads of their households because they have been widowed, divorced, or separated, they have little or no income, are landless with few or no assets, and are primarily rural. Prokritee is a service-based agency that provides artisan organizations with management, product design and development, and marketing assistance. By providing jobs and skills for the women they are able to improve the women's standard of living and help them send their children to school. The women are paid a fair wage, offered training on quality awareness, health, savings, and gender equality, and are provided with a medical allowance and assistance, maternity leave, incomes bonuses, and loan options.
Artisan Minoti Mondal
A cheerful woman who enjoys her work, Minoti has been working for Bagdha, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, for twenty years now. Before Minoti was twenty years old she married a poor farmer. Life was a struggle and after having two sons and two daughters, her husband's income was just not enough. She started looking for work and found a handicraft project that was hiring poor and widowed women. She now works primarily with wood, carving wooden toys. The income she has earned has helped her family immensely. Her four children have been able to finish secondary school, and her 23 year old son has gone on to become a businessman. She is happy she was able to help her children further their education, and hopes to work for Bagdha for as long as she can.
Artisan Usha Rani
Today Usha is a very skilled weaver for Hajiganj Handicrafts, one of Prokritee's artisan groups, but it wasn't always that way. When Hajigani was first started, Usha and the other women hired didn't know anything about weaving and had to be trained. The training lasted a couple of months, and by the end the women were able to weave baskets of all different shapes and sizes. Because Usha is highly skilled, she has been promoted to supervisor. She supervises the other producers to makes sure they are weaving quality baskets, and creates samples for customers.

This animation is brief and down to earth. It's a collection of sounds from the movie, put together coincidentally to create the effect of George Bailey running amok. You'll enjoy this if you love old Christmas films!
Happy New Year to you... on the front page!

There are only 4 words to describe a family Flash:
