The questions...
Over the last five years, I've received lots of emails from people who want to be journalists. Some of them were students at school investigating a career they might like to pursue for a project. Others were mid-life career-changers looking for reassurance and tips on training.
My ebook 'Journalism Careers: Your questions answered' is inspired by the questions they asked - questions people like you would ask a busy, working journalist if you could grab a few minutes of his time.
Here's a full list of the main questions answered in the ebook, although the answers also address many other issues along the way.
About my career

US 4563772 A Abstract The invention relates to a high frequency mixer stage comprising a field-effect transistor tetrode having two gate electrodes, with one gate electrode being supplied with the high frequency input signal. According to the invention, the mixer stage becomes a frequency changer by means of inductive load at the second gate electrode of the tetrode.
Claims(3) 1. High frequency mixer stage comprising a field-effect transistor tetrode with two gate electrodes, means supplying a high frequency input signal to one of the gate electrodes, and two terminal means connected between the second gate electrode (G.sub.2) and a ground terminal for setting operating point of the tetrode such that self-oscillation and, consequently, frequency conversion occurs substantially due to cooperation of said tetrode and said two-terminal means, wherein said two terminal means is an inductive load.
2. High frequency mixer stage according to claim 1, wherein the tetrode is a GaAs barrier layer field-effect transistor.
3. High frequency mixer stage according to claim 1 wherein said tetrode has a source electrode connected to said circuit ground.
Description The invention relates to a high frequency mixer stage comprising a field-effect transistor tetrode having two gate electrodes, with the high frequency input signal being fed to one of the gate electrodes. A mixer stage of this type is known, for example, from DE-PS German Pat. No. 21 59 592. In the known circuit, a field-effect transistor tetrode is combined with an ordinary field-effect transistor. The high frequency input signal is fed to one gate electrode of the tetrode, while the oscillator frequency from a parallel resonant circuit is fed to the second gate electrode of the tetrode. Connected to the drain electrode of the tetrode is a further parallel resonant circuit with which the intermediate frequency component is filtered out and coupled out inductively. The known circuit is relatively sophisticated, since in addition to the tetrode a further field-effect transistor is required and a special local oscillator must be provided. The object underlying the invention is to provide a high frequency mixer stage which is of particularly simple and easy-to-integrate design. According to the invention there is provided a high frequency mixer stage wherein the operating point of the tetrode at the second gate electrode is set such that the mixer stage is converted into a frequency changer by the self-excitation which occurs. This self-excitation is preferably produced by means of an inductive load at the second gate electrode. A GaAs barrier layer field-effect transistor is, for example, suitable as tetrode. The high frequency mixer stage according to the invention is of extremely simple construction because the single active component determined by the tetrode replaces the preliminary and high frequency amplifiers, respectively, the local oscillator and the mixer. The tetrode is very simple to produce in a manner known per se in integrated semiconductor technology. The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of an example, with reference to the drawing where the FIGURE is a view of a preferred circuit for the high frequency mixer stage. A tetrode T with the two gate electrodes G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 is shown in the FIGURE. This tetrode is, for example, a GaAs MESFET which can be employed in the 10 GHz range. The high frequency input signal is fed to the gate electrode G.sub.1 via the transformer U, while the oscillator frequency f.sub.osz decoupled therefrom is fed to the gate electrode G.sub.2. This local oscillator frequency is generated by means of an inductive load Z.sub.L. Between the drain and source electrodes of the tetrode there is a parallel resonant circuit which is comprised of the capacitor C.sub.1 and the inductance coil L.sub.1 and is aligned to the differential frequency between the oscillator frequency and the input signal frequency. The intermediate frequency ZF is inductively coupled out of this parallel resonant circuit. In one embodiment, a tetrode with the following transistor characteristics was used: GaAs MESFET tetrode with a channel width of 200 μm and gate electrodes with a length of 1 μm (gate 1) and 2 μm (gate 2), respectively; saturation current I.sub.DSS =25 mA, maximum oscillation frequency f.sub.max =20 GHz, transconductance at gate 1 g.sub.m1 =15 mS (u.sub.g2 =0). transconductance at gate 2 g.sub.m2 =10 mS (u.sub.g1 =0). The gate electrode G.sub.2 was loaded with an inductive load oscillator frequency f.sub.osz. The oscillator frequency then amounted to 9.0 GHz. With a signal frequency f.sub.sign of 10.08 GHz there is an intermediate frequency ZF in the order of 1.08 GHz which is filtered out at the resonant circuit C.sub.1, L.sub.1. Patent Citations

THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Can a father gift his 18 son/daughter a handgun legally? |
Posted: 7/11/2008 2:55:15 AM
Yes, I do believe that they'll need an HSC, however.
They'll likely have to DROS it as well, the paper for this can be found at the CA DOJ webpage, and there's a $19 fee to process it. |
Posted: 7/11/2008 3:15:32 AM
There is no DROS involved, since there is no dealer involved.
This can only be done if both the parent and child are residents of California (the intrafamilial transfer for off-list pistols can't work because a dealer is prohibited form delivering a handgun to soeone under 21 years old). The child will need to get a Handgun Safety Certificate before being gifted the gun. Once it is gifted (no high-cap magazines) send in an intrafamilial transfer form (available on DOJ's website) along with the ap[propriate fee ($19, I think). It'll take about 6-8 weeks, but they'll send you a confirmation of registration. |

Average Service Ratings

Poor Service, Poor Customer Service — I told the mechs that the car is hard to start, otherwise reliable. They said this was a known problem and recalibrating the PCM would fix the issue. I deferred the maintenance for a while since it was a nuisance issue. When I eventually took the car in, a second mech confirmed what I had been told earlier. Recalibrated the PCM. Paid the bill. Car ran worse. Now the mechs say they would never do this without doing a full diagnosis, want to charge another $89 to check out the car after they told me that their proposed solution would solve the problem. Recommendation: find another dealership if you must take a car to dealer for service. Better yet, find a good local mechanic. They care. |

Stay Away!!! — This dealer is one of the WORST I have ever visited. I took my 2003 Cobra in for service, a simple oil change and rotate. While it was there one of the mechanics who I was told was new scratched my car because the rack was not set right. Rather than tell me this they tried to cover it up with touch up paint! The service manager Adam refused to do anything and said there was no proof they did it. He tried to offer a free service on my next visit, but I will never get the car serviced there again!. I went back shortly after to pick up a part I had ordered (new shift knob) and found out from the parts guy that they had indeed tried to cover up the damage with touch up paint, he knew because he was the one who gave them the paint!!! There is a whole twitter page dedicated to these crooks; #kerryfordsucks |

''Civility should be promoted, not believed in,'' he said. ''Civility is not something to enforce. ''
Among the schools embracing those beliefs is the University of Arizona, which last year opened the National Institute for Civil Discourse after the shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
In 2010, Rutgers University launched its ''Project Civility'' just before freshman Tyler Clementi killed himself when a roommate secretly recorded the teen's sexual encounter with another man. English, the Missouri campaign leader, said the New Jersey student's suicide helped influence her decision to start a program on campus.
She, too, favors the voluntary approach, though her initial instincts said otherwise.
''My first thought was, 'I'm a lawyer, we need a rule or a policy,' but then my thinking was, 'That's not really necessary,''' she said. ''We can have all the policies in the world, but what we want to do is raise awareness and get people thinking ... We want to change the culture so it just becomes embedded.''
Or, as Noor Azizan-Gardner, Missouri's chief diversity officer, put it: ''I'm hoping when they graduate they will know what it means to be civil, kind and compassionate.''

Summary: From magnet therapy and cold fusion to the Podkletnov gravity shield, a revealing and enormously entertaining look at what's behind today's flood of foolish and fraudulent scientific claims
In a time of dazzling scientific progress, how are we to separate genuine breakthroughs from the noisy gaggle of false claims? Touching on everything from Deepak Chopra's ''quantum alternative to growing old,'' and ''free energy'' machines, to unwarranted hype surroundin ...show moreg the International Space Station, Robert L. Park leads us through the dim back alleys of fringe science, down the gleaming corridors of Washington power and even into our evolutionary past to search out the origins of voodoo science. Along the way, Park offers some simple and engaging science lessons, showing us that you don't have to be a scientist to spot the foolish and fraudulent science that swirls around us.
While incorporating elements of high humor, from Joe Newman and his Energy Machine to the French ''sniffer plane,'' this hard-hitting account also tallies the cost: the billions spent by the public on worthless therapies, the tax dollars squandered on huge government projects that are doomed to fail, the investors bilked by schemes that violate the most fundamental laws of nature. But the greater cost is human: fear of imaginary dangers, reliance on magical cures, and above all, a sort of upside-down view of how the world works.
To expose the forces that sustain voodoo science, Park closely examines the role of the media, the courts, bureaucrats and politicians, as well as the scientific community. Scientists, he observes, insist that the cure for voodoo science is to raise the general scientific literacy. But what is it that a scientifically literate society should know? It is not specific knowledge of science the public needs, Park argues, so much as a scientific world view--an understanding that we live in an orderly universe governed by natural laws that cannot be circumvented by magic or miracles.

Report Roundup
College Gender Gaps
"Gender Equity in Higher Education 2010"
A report says that gaps between men and women in the nation's colleges and universities have stopped growing in key areas, including enrollment and attainment of bachelor's degrees.
Men account for 43 percent of overall college enrollment and earn 43 percent of bachelor's degrees—figures that have remained consistent since the early 2000s.
However, the analysis by the Washington-based American Council on Education shows that the disparity lies largely in the fact that men are much less likely than women to go to college—or return to college—later in life. Undergraduate men age 25 or older are outnumbered by women in the same age group by a ratio of 2-to-1.
"Traditional" students who head directly to college from high school are split between the genders. Men still lead in the number of Ph.D. and M.D. degrees awarded, while the genders are about even in graduate programs in law and business administration.
One notable exception to the leveling-off trend is among young Hispanic men especially new immigrants who are falling further behind Hispanic women.

Blog Show and Tell: 3 Blogging Lessons With Examples
Do you remember show and tell? In nursery school, I had to bring in an unusual item and explain it to my classmates. Unlike my friends, I didn't settle for an ordinary toy or household object. Instead I brought my sister. The great advantage was that she was able to talk for herself. Over the years, I've found old-fashioned show and tell to be a useful teaching technique because it illustrates the point better than describing it can ever do. Here are three blogging elements where show and tell can help you learn and improve your craft.

City commissioners gave inital approval Monday to a $30 million to $45 million expansion of the nonprofit addiction treatment Hanley Center near St. Mary's Medical Center.
The project, approved by a 5-0 vote, will add 120 beds and create 144 jobs, officials said.
Hanley plans to add several buildings to its main campus, including two residential halls with 60 beds for young clients, and build a north campus with a 59,728-square-foot, 60-bed group home for detoxification and rehabilitation.
The expansion will have a total economic impact of $21.7 million, officials of the nonprofit estimated, including a doubling of hotel room nights, from 2,460 to 5,280 a year, for relatives coming to town to support patients.
Hanley plans to expand its 12-acre, 82-bed treatment "west campus," west of St. Mary's, adding a chapel and an athletics and wellness center and adding onto six buildings, creating separate male and female residential halls for adolescents, ages 13 to 17, and for young adults, 18 to 26.
Hanley is also asking to build on the nearly 5-acre site of the former Hillcrest Manor nursing and rehabilitation center, about a mile north of 45th Street. It plans a 60-bed unit for "baby boomers" — ages 46 to 64 — as well as seniors. It also plans a separate 16,000-square-foot, 2-story structure for future uses.
That property is isolated and at the far north end of the city, officials said. "I think it's an ideal location," commissioner Sylvia Moffett said.
The city's planning board had unanimously passed Hanley's plan in August. The city commission is set to hold a second and final vote Oct. 15.
Mayor Jeri Muoio asked Monday that between now and then, Hanley officials make themselves available to answer commissioners' questions about the expansion.
And Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell asked that Hanley be sure to explain its plans to members of the adjacent Northwood Hills Neighborhood Association. No residents spoke at Monday's meeting.
If Hanley gets the final OK, it hopes to start construction next summer and open the first phase in 1½ to two years, with the entire complex finished in about four years.

Remembering the books that taught us more than we ever cared to learn.
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Children, as far as I can tell, are little pagans, full of unaccountable beliefs and peasant superstitions. From triple-knotting their shoelaces to elaborately naming their toys, they have rituals for everything, and perform them as though doing otherwise would invite a curse into their lives.
Of course, I'm speaking from experience. In my childhood bedtime in particular was a matter of high ceremony. I had to be tucked in with diagrammatic precision, like a present being wrapped; I had to be armed with my favorite long-suffering pony toy, nestled in the loving choke-hold of my right arm; and I had to be read to, from books that I had committed to my personal canon with evangelical zeal.
This obsession with the rites of bedtime seems to be an integral part of childhood, as well as a recurrent theme in both children's and grown-ups' literature. Swann's Way, by very reductive logic, is about a French mama's boy's gargantuan freak out when his doting mother forgets to wish him good night. And Goodnight Moon, the gorgeous children's book I'd like to talk about today, is a special liturgy for sleepy children everywhere.
The book, as you likely recall, is very simple: a pajama-clad bunny sits in bed in a palatial green room with high ceilings and orange floors, surrounded by an array of objects both familiar and strange (a chair, a comb; a "bowl of mush"). As we turn the pages, we take inventory of each of these things, acquainting ourselves with the charming, garishly painted room and its contents. And then, along with our young bunny-protagonist, we wish them goodnight. "Goodnight comb, and goodnight brush," we say, turning a page. "Goodnight stars, goodnight air," we say. "Goodnight noises everywhere."
It's not hard to understand why the book is so captivating to read as an adult. Maturity, for some reason, seems to be defined in part by being completely surrounded by objects, many of them useful, few of them necessary, and almost all of them completely assimilated into the unremarkable texture of daily life. The idea that we should notice a comb, really, fully attend to it, seems like a useless mental exercise, something we would only do in a goofy drama class or if there was a chance we could make the comb spontaneously combust. The notion that we should just idly think about a comb, and maybe wish it good night now and then, just to be nice, feels worrisomely naïve.
But children, of course, relate to objects differently than we do, their world as yet uncontaminated by symbolic meanings. A cigar really is just a cigar when you're a kid, thank god, because what else could it possibly be? Our understanding of objects has to become more complex as we grow up, for a number of practical and developmental reasons. But I wonder sometimes if that earlier understanding of the world, that willingness to see objects on their own terms, is where generosity comes from.
Children may not love more fairly or intelligently than adults—if they did, adulthood would be pretty doomed—but they do seem to love more abundantly. The way kids love dogs, toys, teachers, older children, playgounds, candy, and exercise is astonishing, a realm of emotional possibility to which we can have only vicarious access. We're lucky if life gives us a handful of people to love; and, knowing that, it's hard not to envy children, to admire their world which is so capaciously loving, and so full of lovable objects.
I'm not a child, at least not technically. My idea of a good time typically involves long periods of sitting down, and I don't believe that toys have souls. But Goodnight Moon is still one of the most beautiful books I've read, and a book which, I hope, still informs the way I engage with the world. I'm probably not capable of wishing a comb goodnight, at least not without embarrassment. But I hope I'm still able to love the world with real attachment and a sense of wonder—an ability which might not be the hallmark of adulthood, but which will certainly keep me from getting bored.

Mom's Library List
My mom started taking me to our town's public library when I was three years old. Some of my first memories are from the weekly Story Time at the library, which took place in a small room that was squirreled away on the second floor. The room's linoleum floor was speckled with sample squares of carpet—the kind you get from Home Depot when you're looking to put down new wall-to-wall—and my friend Carolyn and I would always pick plush, colorful squares to sit pretzel style on while the librarian read aloud to us. I remember holding Carolyn's hand during a session with Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, which frightened us both (something about the eggs being green gave me the icks).
Mom would appear in the doorway after Story Time and take me downstairs to the Children's Room, which was partitioned from the main area of the library with what must have been sound-proof glass, because noise was allowed in the Children's Room. I remember walking quietly through the adult reference stacks and past the card catalogues, only to break out into a sprint once inside the Children's Room, so I could check on my furry buddies—the library's two hamsters (or were they gerbils?)—who must have had fairytale-inspired names like Hansel and Gretel, though I no longer recall.
What I do recall is that Mom would peel me away from the cage and browse the children's stacks with me, so we could pick out a book or two to check out for the week. I would stand on a step stool beside her as she scanned the titles, looking for a Madeline adventure we hadn't yet delved into, or for a copy of Eloise to read again (I loved opening up the pages that showed Eloise's escapades through the Plaza Hotel's elevators). At first, Mom would read these books to me, but by the time I was four years old, I read them to her.
Mom curated my book borrowing long after my afternoons of carpet squares at Story Time had ended, long after she signed me up for my very own library card. When I was in second or third grade, Mom turned me on to Judy Blume's "Fudge" series, fueling a summer-long borrowing session that started with Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing and ended with Fudge-a-Mania. They were my first real chapter books.
By fourth grade, Mom steered me out of the Children's Room and over to the Young Adult stacks for Blume's big-girl books—Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Blubber, and my favorite, Just As Long As We're Together, which I borrowed and read again and again, the return date stamps on the card in the back all mine. Mom was even in cahoots with my elementary school's librarian, Mrs. Nutter, who made me borrow books that I told Mom I didn't want to read, like Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (I thought it was about hunting; I ate my words when I fell in love with Scout and was enthralled by Boo Radley).
I don't know exactly what considerations Mom put into creating a book-borrowing list for me. She must have read some of the books she chose for me when she was a girl herself—To Kill a Mockingbird for sure, because she told me as much. But Mom was already 18 when Judy Blume published Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, and wouldn't need to read it to learn about bras and periods, like I did.
I can't ask Mom why she wanted me to read those books, because she passed away when I was 12, leaving me to make my own choices at the library. I can imagine, though, that she chose books that she knew would both enthrall me and teach me—books that would make me grow to love reading as an escape into a world different than my own.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein
English is my second language. My parents insisted that all their children learn at least one other language. In my case it was English. I struggled with it, never quite understanding why it was necessary. I was stubborn. It took a while for me to learn to pick my battles. I'm still learning.
My parents made great sacrifices to be able to afford a good education for me; I took it completely for granted. I hated my school to the point where I was expelled. I had failed math and geometry, as usual. That was allowed, but a third failed subject got me kicked out the school. That third failed subject was English. I stood stubbornly by my choices. Why on earth would I need to learn a second language? I cringed when the few American kids in my school would speak amongst themselves in English. The children of diplomats and expats that went to my school weren't many, but they stuck together: imposing their knowledge of this foreign language I had learned to hate. I wanted to yell at them to speak in Spanish but I never did.
It just so happens that at this point of my life I had lived exactly half of my life in the U.S.A. I am so very glad to be bilingual; it has made this 24 year long journey a lot easier. Now, my son rejects learning Spanish as much as I did learning English. He uses the same arguments today, at seven years of age, that I used as a teenager. I still have to figure out a way to get him into learning Spanish. These days, because he has a great teacher in school, he has decided to learn French. As much as I wanted to scream out loud, I celebrated his choice. I carefully point out the similarities with Spanish. Hope remains.
The kid wants me to tell him about when I was a child, to tell him about teachers I liked, books I liked, movies and TV shows I liked. I tell him about Ms. Mason. She was one of my favorite teachers — and she taught English, of all subjects.
A South African native, Elizabeth Mason arrived in Colombia in the early '60s. She had dedicated her life to education; her mission was to construct a happy school with happy children, offering an international baccalaureate program. She became the founding Headmistress of the Colegio de Inglaterra. By the time I met Ms. Mason, she was officially retired, but her English class was my favorite class. She would read to us, answer any questions we had, and tell us her thoughts on the books she shared with us. She was a fantastic storyteller and incredible reader. To this day I dream about those English classes, where I learned so much without even trying. The books she read that I most remember were J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.
Ms. Mason's father had served in the war, and during those days, he befriended Saint-Exupéry. She showed us pictures of Saint-Exupéry and his plane on a visit to Johannesburg, where she was born. These treasures made all the adventures in the book real to me. I recall following along in my book while Ms. Mason read to us, lifting my eyes and looking at her, the weight of her years bending her spine as she read, the book held in her right hand while the left hand rested on her desk lovingly touching the photograph of her as a child, with her father and Saint-Exupéry, sitting on canvas folding chairs next to the airplane. I remember the kids immersed in their books following along, taken away, unaware of the vastness of the landscape of Saint-Exupéry's solitude.
I don't want my kid to read The Little Prince — not yet. I think there is a beautiful melancholy to it that can be infectious and even damaging. I want my kid to be older when he reads the book — more mature, less impressionable — especially if he keeps up learning French.
Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
Perhaps what separates the boys from the men is the ability to grasp the horror of war. For boys, war is just a perfect game presenting endless possibilities for adventure. Ms. Mason knew this, and subtly commented on the subtext and lessons of the books she read to us — both The Hobbit and The Little Prince — as she went. Her emphasis was on us having fun while she read, and the assignments she gave us were to re-read the book on our own and find its tone, its rhythm, its music.
When I told my kid about reading The Hobbit, he was curious, but he couldn't quite read it himself. It has always been hard for me to read out loud in English — I'm self-conscious of my accent and get hung up on it — so his mother read it to him. It was like Ms. Mason's class all over again, except better, because his experience was enveloped in motherly love. I was curious about how much of the plot he was taking in: was he really listening, or was he simply cuddling with his mother and dwelling on her voice?
This weekend, I took him to watch the most recent Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, and he said he loved it. I asked him if he liked it better than the book. He said he liked the book better because it was longer, and that while the movie is based on the book, it's not the same. He pointed out to me all the divergences from the book, all of the parts that were made up by the filmmakers. He told me the new parts were cool, but kind of "funny" (making air quotes with his fingers), and that Tolkien is not "funny" like that (air quotes again).
When we got back home I looked around for my copy of The Little Prince. I wanted to hide it someplace safe. And while I was at it, I was jumped by some hobbit/dwarf creature who attempted to cut my dragon head off with a ruler/sword. Happily playing along, I fell on the coffee table; in making sure my little hobbit didn't get hurt, I almost broke my ribs.

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
It's hard to pick just one book from my childhood that made a difference in my life. I can name two that made tears come to my eyes as a child and even now. One was from laughter: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. (Now I know these are two books, but I have a copy of these in the same volume, so in my mind they are one book.) Reading the antics of these two boys made me laugh to tears at times throughout their story.
The other one is Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.
Books and reading has always been a part of me since I can remember. My mom read to me. She read a lot. Some people remember their moms in the kitchen with a spoon in one hand and pots and pans in other. Maybe they cooked from a recipe, or from their own creativity. That was my dad's way of cooking. Never saw him with a cookbook of any kind. That's another story, and is probably why my mom was the reader and writer in the family. She didn't have to cook. She gave me the love of reading and writing. I don't like to cook much either.
My brother received the book Black Beauty from our grandma on Christmas Day, 1956. I was not quite two years old then. Not sure how old I was when I finally got to read Black Beauty, but as I read my heart went out to horses and I have never lost that love.
I could not fathom the unbelievable cruelty people used on horses. I didn't realize that people treated their animals in unkind ways. I grew up on a farm and all our animals were treated with respect and love. They were always included in family things. They were part of the family because they were family. I thought that was the way for everyone. Black Beauty opened my eyes to the awful reality of animal cruelty.
I cried at the time one of the horses died. I cried when Beauty was mistreated even though he was such a gentle, sweet tempered horse. I wondered that people could be so unthinking. All they cared about was fashion or the work they could get out of the horse. The one part where the lady of the house insisted that the horse's heads be higher with the tightening of the bearing rein made me sick. For show and fashion she let her horses be in pain that ruined their necks and hurt their mouths so she could ride around in the city and be the envy of those less fortunate. I'm sure she wanted to look fashionable for all her friends and admirers too. If the mean ways led to the death of the horse they would go get another. They were just a way to make money or stay in fashion.
Black Beauty tells the story from his point of view. I had never read a book like that before; it gave me such a different perspective. Here was a good-tempered horse looking at the world through his big, kind brown eyes. He saw cruelty, but he also had good times and good friends to run around in the fields with.
I haven't had many horses in my life, but while I did I treated them with love and took care of them like they deserved, with good food and fresh water. I brushed them and rode as much as I could. After reading Black Beauty, I knew the horse only wanted to be a horse, but would be faithful to its owner if treated properly.
Some people get a horse thinking they can jump on him and ride away into the sunset. It's not like that. Training and understanding and love need to be there too. It would be a great idea for anyone contemplating buying a horse to read Black Beauty and get an understanding of the horse. Continue reading other books on horses and talking with experienced horsemen too.
At the end of Beauty's story he finally has a home where he will be for the rest of his life. I always cry because his story has a happy ending even though he suffered so much. He is now safe and cared for and, above all, well loved.
—Judy Blackburn has been a reader all her life and a writer for many years. She has published articles and short stories, and her novel, titled Methow Valley Morning, is available at Amazon.com. She thinks it's kind of funny that the two books she mentions here both originally belonged to her brother, but somehow have ended up in her possession.

This week, Jennifer Garner fessed up to a fear almost every mom can relate to –gaining weight after losing it. We love her for that.
It's so refreshing when a celebrity mom tells it like it is as Jen did when she revealed her anxiety about gaining weight after she stops breastfeeding her 13 month old daughter Seraphina.
"I'm nursing. As soon as I'm done, I'll puff right back up."
First of all, props to Jen for nursing for such a long time — as any mom of more than one can tell you, breastfeeding can take its toll on the whole family. When a toddler (like Seraphina's older sister Violet) wants mom's attention, they don't care if their little sister is having a meal — and this can make it really hard to be the only milk in town!
Second, THANK YOU JEN for not being one of those moms who pops out a baby one day and hits the catwalk the next. While we know it wasn't effortless for Heidi or Giselle to get back into their skinny jeans, their very public shrinking act does make it hard for the rest of us mere mortals still hoping to squeeze into our fat pants.
Third, we just have to mention that Jen is one of the lucky few to lose or maintain weight (as did Rebecca Romijn drop 60 lbs after her twins!) from breastfeeding. Despite this common belief that nursing makes your baby fat melt, it's actually more common to LOSE, not gain weight after you stop.

The Daily Yam: This Royals Fan Made A Clutch Grab — Of A Human Being
Welcome to The Daily Yam, bringing you Yesterday's Awesome Moment, anything else you might have missed, and what to look forward to today. It's your one-stop shop when you skipped last night's action, or have forgotten what day it is. Last night, Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas almost had a bad time, but one of his trusty fans saved him from going head first over the rail.
Your Daily Yam.
In terms of athleticism, this catch doesn't rank very high. But in terms of actual importance — like, what would have happened had the fan not been there — it's pretty clutch.
And then he went back to drinking his beer. All in a day's work.
What Else Happened Last Night?
Bryce Harper walked the Nats off against the Pirates with a two-run homer; Reds beat the Dodgers 5-2; Yanks earned a split with the Rangers, winning 2-0.
What's On Tap For Today?
Every MLB team is in action. The best game looks like Red Sox-Orioles at 7:05 p.m. ET
It's Friday. !!!.
