America The Beautiful
Happy Independence Day, from our home to yours.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
At Least I Won't Have to Shower Tonight!
The pool garden is 95% planted, with the exception of six white rose a'sharon plants for the back wall that will be planted next week, and all new grass seed, which will happen early fall. Oh yes, and someone named Mr. EOS has an arbor to build for us (hint hint).
I dragged down a couple of water towers to make sure the new plantings stay watered, but not overwatered, and had a fight with the tower to get it to auto rotate, so soaked I got that I came up to change my clothes at the SAME time the doorbell rang and the HVAC repairman arrived to fix a compressor issue. Let's just say wet white shirts are not as nice a look on a 65-year-old as a 20-something. I thought about explaining WHY I was drenched, but figured I'd only get myself into more trouble, so I let his imagination have a good time.
ANYHOOOOO, here's the garden so far. Envision lush green grass in between the flower beds, an arbor with vines flourishing, and a seating arrangement somewhere, not sure where yet. Originally we thought the seating arrangement would go inside the center square, where the roses and lilacs are, but looking at it now, I might want to have the seating arrangement closer to the stone wall, looking at all the plantings.
Meanwhile, the garden that was new last year up front is doing great guns. Filled in so nicely. Love it.
It's a lot of work gardening but the rewards are so long-lasting. Love it.
It's A Bird. It's a Plane. It's SuperSolar Boat!
Reader CosHarbour sent some photos of the totally cool PlanetSolar boat that was in the New York waters on the 21st, bound for a trip north after last year being the first solar-powered boat to circumnavigate the world.
In today's New York Times, coincidentally, a long article about the voyage. Beyond CosHarbour's photos, I've included one photo by the NYT photographer and one from the PlanetSolar website.
Last year, after it became the first solar-powered boat to circumnavigate the globe, the Turanor Planetsolar could have taken its 5,500 square feet of photovoltaic cells and eight tons of lithium-ion batteries and sailed off into the sunset.
The Turanor Planetsolar, which cost $17 million to build, circumnavigated the globe using only solar power in 2012.
Instead it is becoming a scientific research ship, at least for the summer. The boat, a 100-foot, $17 million catamaran that was dreamed up by a Swiss eco-adventurer and bankrolled by a German businessman, will cruise the Gulf Stream studying the role of atmospheric aerosols and phytoplankton in regulating climate, under the direction of Martin Beniston, a climatologist at the University of Geneva.
CosHarbour caught real-time images of her. It's hard to get a perspective on her size, although the man in the red shortsd looks pretty small in comparison to the vessel.
Boats and I are NOT best friends, that inner ear thing that most women in my family have makes for some two-bagger outings, added to my mild claustrophobia, I can tell you right now, I will not be signing up for their second round-the-world trip. More power to the scientists who take on such adventure. Send me a post card.
EOS Weekend: The Yes, I Am Alive Edition
Thanks for your email and comments – it's awfully nice to be missed. Been busy, and what with the rain, all the rain, so much rain, well, it did nothing for a blogger who takes photos.
I've been remiss in posting these stellar photos from Betsy in Albuquerque; she sent them a couple of weeks ago. She's up first.
One night short of a full moon in Albuquerque. It is a very quiet night, no wind, few clouds…..just breath taking.
Betsy says: My husband gets credit for this one. He used a camera that takes multiple low light shots and combines them taking the blurriness out.
Every once in awhile the mountains at sunset are spectacular. You can see why the early Spanish settlers named these mountains "Sandia" which is watermelon in Spanish. For just a few minutes the west face is brilliant. The skies are very smokey looking north from the city but thank goodness clear around us.
SoundBeacher emailed me too. Lucky you. Betsy and SB in one week.
When the weather has been good, it's been very very good. Like Tuesday night after all the bad weather moved out — the day finished with a glorious evening. I just had to get down to the beach to see what it would look like with the clearing sky. Nature is never one to disappoint and here are some photos.
Sailors racing with spinnakers flying and rays of light brightening Long Island.
A fisherman out casting in the still water.
Sit a spell and watch the golden light of the setting sun
Evening at the beach just before sunset after a storm.
Sun scape
Happy Father's Day one and all. We have sunshine for the first time since 1902. So today everyone is outside, soaking in the rays but alternately coming in to watch the golf. Go Phil!
Thank You Very Much Peggy Rockefeller!
We took much of yesterday to enjoy some New York culture. The Cloisters and then on to the New York Botanical Garden to take in the sights and smells of the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. Spectacular. Spectacular.
We strolled over to the conservatory to see the Wild Medicine exhibit. No blog-worthy photos to post of inside the conservatory….
A Very Boring Day In Michigan!
As regular readers know, Michigan is about to embark on installing an awesome Garn wood heating system in his back forty…this lovely number he had delivered over the winter…
Michigan tells us in his own words the process so far….. and gets two points for providing the riotous headline!!- Mr. EOS's words: FANTASTIC, on both the project (he wants to be there) and the headline. There's a future for you in blogging Michigan!
To get utilities out to the new building we didn't want to rip up the driveway and trench the front yard up so…
We chose to go with the underground boring option and it worked out well. They had to bore from the back yard under the garage floor and then through the concrete wall in the mechanical room.
Boring bit (this one is called a "duckbill") with carbide teeth is used for the initial bore and cut through concrete wall. The "duckbill" contains sensors and transmitters so it can be "steered" by the operator to the predetermined point. It's quite accurate.
Next, a coring rig is mounted to the wall with an anchor and a 12" bit is used to bore through the wall. It took about 20 minutes to cut through this 8" wall.
Once the wall core is removed, the duckbill is pushed through a bit further to change it out for another tool head.
The duckbill has been removed and a reamer head is attached. This will allow the utility pipes to be attached to it and pulled back through the initial boring while spinning and spraying an expanding clay solution to form a supporting wall for the final bore. The center of the reamer remains stationary while the outside spins. You can see the angled spray nozzles at the back of it.
Utility pipes hooked up and spraying begins while pulling back. We're pulling 4 pipes at once here; one 4" and three 1 ¼" schedule 80, heavy wall pipe.
Pulling and spraying continues until the head emerges from the original point of entry. This boring machine has a 11 thousand pound pullback strength.
You can see the clay solution begin to spray out as pullback begins.
Their job is complete and mine will be to trench from the 4 foot depth point that they kindly marked for me, out to the new building.
We'll be waiting and watching for the next installment Michigan. Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop. Just let us know when the first wood burning party is and we'll be there!
Peony Power Redux
The skies opened last night – an extraordinary series of torrential rain storms with equally powerful thunder and lightning. But lucky for me, and hopefully you too, I took some peony photos before the rains because today, the flowers look a tad droopy.
The bed of peonies wraps around the entire stone patio, a cornucopia of color that brightens up even a day like today!
That's it for the peony photos this year.
The End of an Era. The Carvel Store is Gone.
For as long as we have lived in Bedford, Carvel in its stand-alone iconic store on Route 117 in Bedford Hills was THE place to go. On a hot night after kid's soccer or baseball. On a Sunday after working hard in the yard. As a treat on a weekday when….well, for NO REASON.
Mmmm, root beer float.
Mmmmm, small vanilla soft ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles (jimmies if you are from Boston!)
Mmmmm, half vanilla half chocolate swirl cone.
I've blogged about this a few times before, moaning the loss of architecture where the building is synonymous with the brand – McDonald's Golden Arches is about the only other example I can think of that exists. Okay, Bob's Big Boy. Others?
Reader CosHarbour sent me a link a long time ago with a photo of the Bedford Hills store in all its glory but I deleted the link. So, if you are reading Cos, and aren't too busy driving around in your cool red Fiat, can you find that link and send it again? Thanks.
Here's one from Indiana that is similar.
Ours sat like empty for years…years…years. Such a sad sight. If it couldn't be restored, it's almost better it is gone.
Coming soon – a newer, larger Splash carwash! Not that I don't wish them well, I use them all the time, but maybe as a tribute to the land's use before them, they could sell Carvel in their waiting room! :-)
PS: I should say there still IS a Carvel in town but it's tucked away in a busy shopping center. Just not the same. Carvel, bring back the stand alone stores!!
As seen at the Dragone Auto Auction, Westport, CT, a 1916 Packard Twin Six Touring.
When Packard introduced a new "Twin Six" engine in 1916, they literally changed the market. As a masterpiece of engineering, the new engine was an L-Head configuration using a 60 degree bank with 12- cylinders. Displacing a full 424 cubic-inches, the V-12 engine was rated 88 horsepower, this at a time when Henry's Model T topped out at just 20 horsepower.
This was one of my favorites. Solid yet sleek.
The beauty is in the details – the wheel spokes, the exterior door handle, the toggle to secure the top, the head lamp, the leather seating….simple elegance. Packard got it right with this car. I hope whoever the winning bidder was gives it nothing but tender loving care….and me a ride!

Empirical educational research is a growing field. This is shown by the establishment of professorships that focus on empirical research in educational science and teaching methodology. In this field, particular attention is paid to the study of teaching and learning processes in a wide variety of educational contexts.
In addition, a large number of foundations, ministries and research organizations in Germany are very active in issues relevant to teaching and learning both in and out of school, and are resolutely calling for evidence-based support for initiatives. Organizational developments in universities and research institutions also increases demand for staff who are qualified in the area of education
The program provides students with a background in educational science, psychology and teaching access to in-depth academic training in research on teaching and learning.
It aims to qualify for a career in research or taking leadership positions in educational institutions. Thanks to close links with the Faculty Graduate Center, the master's program also facilitates graduates who subsequently wish to study for a doctorate.
Professional competencies
Students explore key theories, concepts, methods and findings of empirical educational research and focus on teaching and learning in a variety of educational contexts. This enables them to gain a coherent knowledge and in-depth understanding of
Students also acquire a basic knowledge of methodologies in behavioral and social sciences, which are based on research designs, data collection and data analysis.
Methodological competencies
Students acquire methodological competency in relation to the skills and abilities that are relevant to the area of empirical educational research. These include knowledge and skills in key working practices such as researching and preparing literature, summarizing relevant empirical studies in written essays, presenting research and project activities using various presentation techniques (PowerPoint, posters, etc.), communicating empirical research to different target groups, acquiring the essential writing skills necessary to produce academic texts and gaining a basic knowledge of project and time management.
Social competencies
Thirdly, students acquire social competency by working together in teams on projects, analyzing the various strengths and weaknesses of project participants and using this to implement the project. The masterÆs program is characterized by its highly interdisciplinary nature, which means that students regularly work on projects in different team compositions. Students are also required to decide on certain projects and implement them within a fixed timeframe by agreeing a shared work and time schedule. By cooperating in this way they learn how to articulate project interests and decisions and to make coherent academic arguments.
Prof. Dr. Tina Seidel
The program is aimed at students who hold a BachelorÆs degree in educational science, psychology, education, secondary school teaching or vocational training (alternatively also the first Staatsexamen). The program is aimed at international as well as national students.

You could have made the "is it a hardware or a software company" line at any point over the last 37 years. Oh wait, others have said the same thing.
oh hi matt
File this under: no kidding, Dick Tracey. More useless commentary in a sea frothing with inane comments.
"Make or break quarter"….lol…this is a slow quarter for technology….Apple has $150 share in cash…how can this be make-or-break? You just made this up to make it seem exciting. Make or break quarter would be 12 years ago…lol
File under: useless comments that add nothing to the knowledge base of the Apple universe.
" get people excited about the company again."
Um, you mean "the company's stock". Nearly everyone's excited about the company and their products
That's the problem with the 24 hours, 1440 minute news cycle. The blogger has to fill up dead air. Doesn't matter with what.
Extended trading is ridiculously volatile – especially 15 minutes before an earnings release. The test of the "news" is Wednesday's closing price.
I've tested all of them. iPhone is still the best smart phone out there. Period.
Being a professional Apple product user, what I find most concerning about Apple is that their products, although better designed than anyone else are becoming plagued with issues that were "typical" for non Apple products. It used to be that Apple products simply "worked" since they were tested extensively before release. Such is not the case anymore. The pressure to keep releasing new products has put them behind the eight ball in a no win situation.
so tell me Apple is both a hardware and software company? No?
Apple is just swirling in the bowl…Should go down shortly…FLUSH
million million?
Mathew can you do better?
Halted in TD
13 vs 14 weeks!
Let me see, analyst expected 9.5 billion, Apple reports 13.1 billion, and that's not great? What planet are you on? That happened in the face of a huge smear campaign, hedgefund money grab, and potential governement shutdowns and the sequester. I think it is terrific!!!!!!!!!
"…Apple recorded a profit of $13.1 billion in Q1, compared to $13.06 billion last year…"
That is because Apple is actually spending a lot more in R&D as well as CapEx. This is not necessary a bad thing if you want the company to continue growth. I think it is very short sighted for anyone to make such comment.
learn how to report
News about the dividend, today?
so it's already 30 minutes after the bell, what the hell, wake up Tim.
Do they always halt stocks prior to earnings announcements or only when it is bad?
What's the consensus EPS?? I've seen averages from $9.98 to $10.07
I doubt it if it is a real bit…
Lol. Apple beat estimates, but watch the stock price drop tomorrow. No one seems impressed by a 'tiny beat'.
I still want growth of top line and new cool products
What about next quarter? Isn't guidance WAY light?
Do you think there is any possibility analysts fudge their expectations in order to give AAPL the upper hand on earning's day?
what about forecast for next q
Also. last quarter was holiday season. duh….
Good call by the analysts. Some good news today. Couple this with new product releases over the next few months and the stock could have a huge rebound
Thanks for the updates. you made my day
Do you think there is any possibility analysts fudge their expectations in order to give AAPL the upper hand on earning's day, or a you a total shill for Apple?
Actually, Cook said they would be more accurate with guidance, not conservative, if memory serves.
Capt Obvious – why would they do that when they have all had so much fun bashing Apple the last few months?
maybe they should buy yahoo!!!
The Empire is trying to strike back!
stock wil go up
I thought they said it would no longer be so conservative with their estimates going forward. Right?
How are the China numbers looking?
Excellent live coverage, Matthew. Thank you.
The buy back represents 20 to 25% of company 's market cap.
Wow, this blogger isn't a complete and utter shill for Apple, no way on earth…
I would rather see Apple buy Yahoo, Netflix, and have another go at Dropbox…
has an i-phone with a leopard cover
Hate the buyback. They can't think of any other use for that cash?
So overall Marthew is that good or bad ?
Hey Tim… just get out buddy! Enough of you!
I don't care what the stock does, apple products lack any innovation. They can't compete with Microsoft or google in the long run in anything but hardware design.
I don't think it's a great earnings release – profits are down, guidance is down, but they beat on lowered expectations.
Buyback announcement is deceiving – $50B by the end of 2015 means they are only increasing buyback to $20B a year
Can you talk about Asian growth?
helpful chart thank you
revenue guidance?
TO Anonymous: Do you really think Apple will sit back on it haunches and never innovate again? Do you really believe they have given up and are out of ideas? If so then you are a being foolish. Give them time they will surprise us all and make consumers very happy. BUT they will do it when they are ready not any sooner. SO, therefore you will have to wait and it will be good. 2014 will be an exciting year!!
Good for Apple frm long term shareholder!
Agree with Nathaniell – tiny beat on lowered estiamtes. Still down from last year. Guidance is lower than expected, and the share buyback, the only saving grace – is spread out over 3 years, so it's only $20B a year from $10B, they say $50B just to make it sound huge. Not impressed, stock should go down.
Always start your chart's y-axis at 0. This is very deceiving.
Can we talk about the horrible hold music Apple is using for the call? What is "cool" about this? I feel like I'm waiting for my insurance adjuster to finish doing some math on his antique abacus.
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me tell you all with full confidence, We have a Winner here, the dead giant AAPL Stock has just woke up from its 7 months deep sleep and it is all up from here. MARK MY WORDS!!!
Apple made more money in 1 day than Netflix did in an entire quarter. Go figure the stock price of two companies.
So, I guess either you don't care about journalistic integrity or else you are a straight-up shill for Apple. The market is so easily corrupted by these stupid analysts, I truly feel bad for the future of this country.
Can you add commentary to what he's saying rather than just quoting him? I assume we're all listening to the call…
Apple understands her shareholders. You smart people on this board have no clue how to run a company. You may do not even know how to run your own house, so do something real before you complain about Apple. If you do not like Apple, do not buy Apple products. You can not have both ways.
Tim Cook is much much smarter than You!
I would prefer a more inspiring speech, and earlier product launches. Ecosystem depends, in part, on computers. Hasn't been a new high end Mac Pro for far too long. Want to see one.
Prefer dividends to buybacks, which only seem to benefit option holders and short term shareholders.
A portion of one of my 4 IRAs has 100 shares AAPL. The dividend alone is now 20% of the max permitted IRA contribution for an old fart like me. Happy camper.
Not to mention the appreciation potential, which drawfs the dividend.
Better to get a game-changing product in the Fall than one that is only modestly better now or in the Summer. I can wait if I must.
I believe the div vs buyback decision was a stroke of excellence. Perfect blend. All that cash accumulation basically says the company was overcapitalized, and retiring shares is the 100% exact right thing to do.
The correct long term action regarding dividend, assuming they want to increase it and they feel it is sustainable, is to gradually ramp it up. None of this ADD, social frenzied, two-week horizon stuff from Apple.
Big fan here. Great management.
it's annoying that you keep writing "victory lap" – the theme surrounding slowing growth and decreased margins should imply a lower multiple and valuation decrease.
give us the TV
the multiple cannot go much lower without assuming aapl will cease making money by the end of the decade
Rupp, I'm interested in your view of reality. You suppose they have products ready to launch and are holding off for something.
If you've ever been in a large mission-critical project, you know there is a plan with thousands of line items in a complex hierarchy, and it all zeros in on a completion date. Milestones are monitored and plans are adjusted to stay on schedule as best as possible, and then there is a launch. Cook just told us those plans have launch dates in last half this year and 2014. So we can dispense with all the useless ignorant chatter on boards for about 12 months now, right? Thanks.
It is nice that they allow people to say whatever idiotic thing they want on these boards. It is quite amusing. I would suggest, however, most of you stick with your day jobs and stay away from the stock market because you are clearly clueless and overly emotional. Did someone really ask if they halt trading before major announcements? Really?
Steven M — the purpose of a business is to earn money. At a PE of 9, AAPL is paying 11% on investment in an interest rate environment in which the risk-free return is approximately zero.
The risk for Apple is fairly low. Even if this ship turns South, it will be a very long slow turn and readily observable.
The growth rate is important, but it is secondary to baseline earnings. So, so many uninvested idle commenters ignore the return and argue only about flashes on the edges. Even large institutional investors got caught up in it recently. There will be, in my prediction, a return to common sense for a while.
Put AAPL on a long term log graph and you will see a departure from a long-term trend that everyone is talking about as a bubble. Take a breath, calm down, look again, and you will see an overcorrection as well. I expect a return to the trend. This is the actual "law of big numbers" which is referred to by the term that has been so misused by Apple bears when they meant to be talking about the difficulty of maintaining large margins in the presence of massive momentum. The bad news is that it is indeed hard to stay out of channel as volumes go to the heavens. The good news is that volumes went to the heavens.
What is the best time to "buy back" aapl, if you are authorized to with $50 billion? It has to be tomorrow! since the price is so low. It will be foolish to do it by 2015!
If we see this, there is no reason be believe the organizational short sellers not see it. Then what is the best time for them to buy the borrowed shares? Tomorrow also!
Typical Apple. Short term trade offs, little information, and a possible admission that it will be fall before we see new products. Price is back to closing. The usual arrogance, without any style. Too bad.
When will we see new mac pro???
Being honest it would be impossible to maintain the rate of growth of last years. If Apple can only maintain actual revenue and profit for the next years it will continue to be to richest company of the world..
My man! I have been thinking this for at least 12 months now.
I will caveat that with 'except if people stop eating and buy cell phones instead'
victor – It's definitely a great company no doubt, but slowly, as you say, they are changing from a growth story to a value story, yes something like Microsoft, if they are lucky. It's a definite hold for the long term, but there doesn't seem to be any catalysts in the short term, except margin compression – growth investors so desperately hoping this is a continuing growth story may be disappointed, and shares will, over time, change from the value and momentum investors to the value investors – Apple is changing right before our eyes.
Any sign of slowing growth is usually a bad thing – so short term I would stay away – I think the best hope for Apple shareholders would be to have the stock stay around where it's at and slowly grow into it.
Commentators, pundits, and even stock analysts have NO IDEA what Apple is up to whatsoever. All they do is gab, gab, gab like a mouthy woman at the local hair salon. Have NO IDEA about APPLE'S future and their statements are often hedged, as well. "Nothing fresh any time soon" ( Well, until this coming Fall, that is, according to CEO Tim Cook). The markets currently doubt whether Apple really does have something new up its sleeve. We have become a suspicious, cynical country ( "the markets are rigged").
Apple stock still has the potential to surprise to the upside in the intermediate term, but definately not in the short term and probably not in the longer term either. So, today its a 'hold', later in the year, maybe a "Buy" again, and sometime in the future back to a "sell" once more. Seems like the market sold plenty while the analysts simply "held" on to their old ratings.
The credit ratings agencies (S&P) will not give Apple's pending debt issue a AAA rating because of these "earnings swings". The stock is simply too erratic and volatile for investors or bond rating agencies to get their arms around it. The uncertainty with Apple is so uncomfortable that it is penalized by the marketplace and no longer is afforded the benefit of the doubt going forward, especially without its "star" leader, the late Steve Jobs.
Watch the profit margins drop in half without doubling sales.

Through six, today's game had all the makings of a pitcher's duel between two great aces: Stephen Strasburg and Cole Hamels. Neither had blinked, each allowing just three hits in a scoreless game. But in the bottom of the seventh, the Nats came alive in a big way. Four hits, two walks, and two errors gave the Nationals a five-run inning and the first frame in which they've batted around since last September. At the beginning of the sixth, the Nationals' win probability was 50%. At the end, it was 98.6%. The offense looked like the typical Nats through six innings with just three hits, but seven total in the seventh and eighth put the team's total at ten. Five runs would end up being far more than Stephen Strasburg needed, as he allowed just one run in eight excellent innings and even that came on a questionable balk call. Winning a home series against Philadelphia is always a good feeling, if only to watch all of their traveling fans get back on the Amtrak disappointed.
Most Important Nationals Hit: Jhonatan Solano's fielder's choice (+19.0%)
Ok, so it's not technically a hit. That doesn't make it any less pivotal. With the bases loaded and one out, "The Onion" Solano hit a grounder to third. Michael Young threw to home in an attempt to get Ryan Zimmerman, but his throw got past Humbero Quintero and Adam LaRoche scored as well, putting the Nats up 2-0. Two more doubles would score three more runs, and the Nats pegged five runs (three earned) on Cole Hamels in 6.1 IP, despite his stellar start.
Most Important Nationals Pitch: Michael Young's ground into double play (+7.6%)
For the second time in this series, the Phillies' most important plate appearance was a double play ball. They had a runner on first with one out when Young's groundout got them both out and ended the chance. In an ordinary game it wouldn't matter too much, but the Phillies had nearly no offensive opportunities, and their best came when the Nationals were already up five.
Champ of the Game: Strasburg (+52.2%) was, as F.P. Santangelo described it, "the best player on your Little League team," meaning that he was dominant on both sides of the ball. He pitched eight innings for the second time in his career and the second time in three starts, allowing one run on five hits and no walks while striking out nine. With the bat, he was 2-3 with a double and a single. Philly's Ben Revere (+1.4%) was the only Philly with a positive WPA, going 2-3 with a run scored.
Chump of the Game: Denard Span (-9.4%) was 1-4 with an RBI, but made outs twice with runners on base earlier in the game. Michael Young (-12.4%) had a terrible day. He was 0-4 with two Ks on offense, and committed the error that let the Nationals take the lead. But hey, veteran leadership, right?

Many of you know that yesterday was my first book store visit (I know, I know) and it turns out - they are exactly like library and school visits. Miss Oliver was charming and kind and a delight to hear speak (so if you have the opportunity, definitely invite her to your school or library). She talked a little about herself and her journey as a writer, she answered questions, and then she read the first 5 pages of Pandemonium to us.
|Teens coming out to see Lauren Oliver
Part of #the2012project
Radical Empathy. I loved this term. Lauren Oliver said that reading asks us to have radical empathy, which is exactly what I am always saying about teen fiction but without the awesome descriptor which I am now totally stealing.
While traveling the road of her early career Lauren learned that all great literature is about one of two things: love or death. If you have read Before I Fall (which you should), you know that she has covered the death aspect. So in the Delirium trilogy Lauren sought to explore the notion of love, not just the love of a man and a woman, but familial love: the love of sisters, the love of a mother and her daughter. If you have read Delirium and Pandemonium (you have read it, right?), you know that love is the theme. And she explores it with depth and feeling and the observation of a soul who sits on a street corner and wonders what life is like for the people who pass her by, which it turns out she does. As a writer, she makes it a practice to try and really practice walking in someone else's shoes so that she can tell there story. There are parts of yourself in every character, but in order to be a good writer you must go beyond self and your story to tell many stories. You must understand people and how they think and feel.
When asked by an audience member what advice she would give to aspiring writers, Lauren talked about describing a scene. She used the familiar mantra "show don't tell", and then discussed how to do that. She then went on to discuss how people never fully live in the present moment but they are also thinking about the past and future as well. Every day we have multiple thoughts about our pasts and futures and good writers bring that internal dialogue into the story. How a writer does that helps us to understand the character.
I am not a fiction writer, just a reader. But to me, to be able to put words on a page that resonate within someones soul would be a dream come true. Words have the power to move. As a young Lauren, she was particularly moved by the words of Agatha Christie and if she could be any writer that is who she would choose. Although she reads mystery fiction, Lauren does not consider herself to be a genre writer and, if you are familiar with her work, you know that she has tipped her toes in the water of various types of writing with much success.
|My fave preteen, Lauren Oliver, & me
Highlights of Lauren Oliver day:
We wear school uniforms here in Texas, and when I went to pick up the preteen from school it turns out she packed a dress in her bookbag to change into to go meet Lauren.
Then, she asked why we didn't just have Lauren over for dinner.
In the car ride there, the Little (age 3) said she was thirsty and asked if Lauren Oliver was going to have some water for her. Don't worry, we got her some water.
I got to meet and hang out with some other book lovers and we sat around and shared our passion for books together. That never stinks.
Why was I giddy as a school girl to meet Lauren Oliver? Find out what I thought of Pandemonium here and read how it moved me in ways that few pieces of literature has. And I read a lot.

Abhishek Bachchan in film on kabaddi?
Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who owns Jaipur Pink Panthers, a franchise of the Pro Kabaddi League, may do a full-fledged movie on the sport.
It may be too early to talk about the movie, but sources close to the project say it would be as inspirational a film about the game of kabaddi as "Chak De! India" was for hockey.
"Abhishek wants to make sure it's the perfect kabaddi film. He's on the lookout for the script," said a source.
For now, making kabaddi into a cool game is Abhishek's game-plan. Though he is committed to join his good friend Shah Rukh Khan on their global tour to promote their film "Happy New Year" September onwards, Abhishek is making the best of the time before the concert tours to promote his kabaddi team at matches all over India.
Abhishek makes sure he is physically present to cheer and motivate his kabaddi team, the Jaipur Pink Panthers.
"There is little point in associating with a team, no matter which game, unless you're physically present to motivate them," said Abhishek.

Audi A4 Problems
An ignition coil or spark plug may fail unexpectedly resulting in an engine misfire and possible illumination of the Check Engine Light. Vehicles equipped with spark plug wires may also develop a misfire caused by a failed spark plug wire.
Clogged drains can allow rainwater to accumulate in the plenum tray (at the base of the windshield). The water may leak into the vehicle's interior, brake booster, or electrical components, which can lead to major problems. Our technicians recommend keeping the tray clear of leaves, pine needles, and other debris.
Premature wear in various multi-link suspension components can cause noises that are difficult to diagnose. Worn suspension parts can also cause uneven tire wear and create steering alignment problems.

Hello Parents and Students,
Teaching is my passion. I enjoy spending time with my students and helping them prepare for the challenges ahead of them.
I started tutoring over ten years ago as a high school senior and haven't stopped since. I've taught in SAT prep academies all over Orange county while holding a full time job. I've always been committed to my students' success. Over the years, I've also had many private tutoring students.
My main focus is in SAT math. I also have and will continue to tutor students in their school math classes. My favorite math subject to teach is geometry. With over 10 years experience as an SAT tutor, I also tutor SAT Writing and Reading.
Some of my success stories include private tutoring a junior in SAT math. When we met, she was struggling in an SAT prep academy, scoring in the low 500's. She opted for private tutoring sessions. After one month of intense tutoring, she was scoring mid 700's in her practice exams. She later applied and attended one of the top UC's in California. Two years later, she called me to start tutoring her little sister.
My policies are simple. Show up, do your homework and prepare to meet me halfway. I will give you my best and I expect my students to give their best as well.

The Report by Devashish Fuloria
May 9, 2013
Kolkata Knight Riders 152 for 6 (Gambhir 50, Bhuvneshwar 3-25) beat Pune Warriors 106 (Mathews 40, Balaji 3-19) by 46 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

News : Ten Doeschate changed the game - Gambhir
Series/Tournaments: Indian Premier League
Teams: India | Kolkata Knight Riders | Pune Warriors
At the halfway stage, it looked like Pune Warriors had given themselves a target that was achievable, but the batting fizzled out, and Warriors fell to their 11th defeat this year, this time against Kolkata Knight Riders, who are yet to be convinced they are out of the race for playoffs this season.
Warriors' openers, their best bet in the chase, scooted to 19 off the first two overs, but the wheels came off as early as the third over. Aaron Finch had a reprieve off the first ball of the third over when he was caught backing up too far as a straight drive from Robin Uthappa hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. Kallis was convinced the ball had flicked his toe, but the replays were inconclusive. Later in the over Kallis, who argued unnecessarily with umpire Sudhir Asnani, bowled Finch with one that stayed a touch low. Yuvraj Singh's sorry run of scores received yet another entry and, apart from Uthappa and Angelo Mathews, no one got into double-digit scores. L Balaji made the most of the slowness in the wicket with a miserly 3 for 19, ending this tussle between two competitors, who have been lapped in the race this year, in an utterly one-sided fashion.
When asked at the toss if his team was motivated to end the tournament on a high, Gautam Gambhir had said, "playing for KKR is a big enough motivation. If someone needs to look somewhere else for motivation, he shouldn't be in the dressing room." He showed the same intent when he came out to bat, stroking a couple of boundaries through the off side in the second over. Manvinder Bisla joined in and the two were off to a quick start as 44 came off the first five overs.
Parvez Rasool, the debutant offspinner from Jammu & Kashmir, began his spell with a couple of tossed up deliveries but once Gambhir drove him through cover, he lowered his trajectory, shortened the length and started firing them in to good effect. He earned the big wicket of Jacques Kallis in his second over as the batsman failed to clear short cover where Angelo Mathews held on to the catch on second attempt. In between Rasool's overs, Bhuvneshwar Kumar had Bisla stumped by the wicketkeeper, giving him first such victim in any form of cricket. The two consecutive losses made the positive start go pear-shaped as the boundaries dried up. Only 22 runs came between overs six and 10.
With the pitch not offering any pace to the batsmen, Gambhir and Morgan had to contend with singles and doubles as Rasool and Mathews ran through their overs. When Morgan finally tried a ramp shot off Mitchell Marsh, he ended up playing it into the hands of the fielder at short fine leg. Gambhir's innings lost steam at the other end; he had six boundaries to score 35 off his first 22, but managed only 15 without a boundary off the next 22 and although he scored a half-century, he was caught soon at midwicket attempting a cross-batted heave. Pathan came and Pathan went, and Knight Riders were left tottering at 99 for 5 with four overs to spare.
The man of the moment turned out to be the often ignored Netherlands allrounder Ryan ten Doeschate, who was playing his first match this season and only his 10th in his third year with Knight Riders. He revived the innings with a muscular thwack off the first ball of the 17th over that went way over midwicket, ending a seven-over boundary drought, then he powered two more fours straight down the ground to add some spring to the innings. The late spurt in energy was contagious as Manoj Tiwary, making a comeback after injury, also added a few bonus runs, while Rajat Bhatia tarnished Wayne Parnell's last over with a six and four to help Knight Riders to a match-winning total of 152.

Finally, after an offseason full of drama and controversy for the Jets at the quarterback position, we are nearing an end to all the madness. On Saturday, Geno Smith will get his first chance to start for the Jets in their third preseason game against the New York Giants. Mark Sanchez has put up average stats thus far, but due to an ankle injury to Geno Smith and his own experience he is viewed as the slight favorite to win this battle. However, that does not mean that Geno has essentially lost the battle. If the former Mountaineer has a good game on Saturday, then he will be in a prime position to win the starting job.
Since Geno Smith was injured and unable to participate in the New York Jets' second preseason game, Mark Sanchez was given the start. After playing three full quarters, Sanchez played decently and had some shining moments and some moments in which Jets fans across the nation probably said in unison, "same old Sanchez," although possibly much more profane. The biggest struggle that Sanchez failed to overcome was his lack of production in the red zone. With the clock running down in the first half, the Jets had a chance for a field goal with 9 seconds left. Inside the 5 yard-line, the Jets took a shot for the end zone, figuring that if they didn't score a touchdown they would still be able to kick the field goal. However, Sanchez scrambled out of the pocket and successfully danced around and allowed the clock to run out prior to his incompletion.
On a previous red zone trip, Sanchez had multiple receivers open in the end zone, although an underthrown ball to an open receiver resulted in an interception. Aside from the red zone, Sanchez played fairly well and was able to find and connect with open receivers, including Jeff Cumberland on a long touchdown pass. Sanchez's overall performance was average, and it wasn't enough to put him far enough behind or ahead of Geno Smith to make the decision an easier for Rex Ryan.
Geno Smith will most likely play for all of the first half to make up for the game he missed. The keys for Geno Smith to win the starting job rely on Sanchez's mistakes. If Geno Smith can be successful in the red zone and in the two minute drill, along with playing well enough and not making silly mistakes, he will be in a prime position to win the starting job.
Rex Ryan will most likely name a starter early next week, possibly as early as Monday. Rex Ryan needs time to converse with the rest of the coaching staff and watch film together before he can name a Week 1 starter. Until then, Jets fans can only anticipate the answer to the question we have all been wondering since Geno Smith was drafted on that Friday night months ago.

What is obvious about the design of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is the metal in the body. Brushed aluminum sides fuse the textured back panel with the 4.7-inch screen on the front. It's light, refined and looks good, even if overall performance can't quite compete with Samsung's two main flagships — the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4. This doesn't make it entirely a case of style over substance, but it does make the device appealing just the same if you can accept the trade-offs.

Samsung makes several different smartphones, but if there's one that stands out above the others for the company, it's probably the Galaxy Note 4. The latest in the line that arguably kicked off the "phablet" era, the Note 4 isn't a huge leap forward from the previous model, yet it still benefits from some of the tinkering Samsung has done with it. The company would like the S Pen stylus to stand out more, and it might with its improved performance here, but the real gem is the big sharp 5.7-inch display.

Most of the cell phones or smartphones you can buy are locked to a specific carrier, which means they can't be used on any other carrier's network (unless you're roaming). However, unlocked phones are available, and since they're unlocked these phones give you the freedom to choose which carrier you prefer. Also, unlocked phones are great for travelling – once you've reached your destination just buy a SIM card from the local carrier, pop it into your unlocked phone, and you've got a local phone for calls and data, avoiding the need to pay expensive roaming rates. Another advantage of unlocked cell phones or smartphones is that they're not tied into a contract, so you can more easily switch plans or switch providers, if you so choose.
Before you get an unlocked phone, consider this: some providers only operate on specific frequency bands, so if you want to join a certain provider, make sure the unlocked phone you're purchasing is compatible with that provider's available frequency bands. This also applies when you're travelling, so it's a good idea to do some homework before your trip to make sure the provider in your destination country will work with your phone.
Future Shop carries a wide selection of unlocked phones, with brands like BlackBerry, LG Electronics, Nokia, Motorola, and more, so you can choose the style and type of cell phone or smartphone that fits your needs.

Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala
Although it sounds like an Indian dish, chicken tikka masala actually originates from the UK where it's referred to as the "true national dish". There's no such a thing as an authentic chicken tikka masala, but most recipes involve roasting chicken pieces (tikka) in a tandoori oven and then simmering in a spicy sauce (masala). If you're making this dish at home, you can cook the chicken on a BBQ or use the grill function of your oven.
One of the reasons I like cooking curry at home is so I can make a healthier version and eat it without guilt. I usually substitute vegetable oil for ghee, and instead of adding cream, stir in Greek-style yoghurt for a thick and creamy gravy. The many layers of spices, ginger, garlic and chilli combined with fresh coriander, tomatoes and lemon juice in this dish means there's definitely no lack of flavour. Here I've served the chicken tikka masala with some fresh and healthy side dishes; guferati (Indian green beans) and a mint and cucumber raita (yoghurt dip).
For marinade
1kg chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 Tablespoon ginger, grated
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon coriander seeds, roasted and ground into powder
1 Tablespoon cumin seeds, roasted and ground into powder
1 Tablespoon garam masala ?
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 cup Greek-style yoghurt
Juice of half a lemon
Salt & pepper
What to do
Cut chicken into large chunks and combine with all marinade ingredients. Mix to coat, cover and marinate overnight in fridge.
Preheat oven to 200°C (or 400°F) or fire up your BBQ.
Roast chicken for 10mins each side in oven, or 5mins each side on BBQ, until juices run clear. Remove from heat and set aside.
For gravy
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 Tablespoon vegetable oil
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 or 2 whole chillis, minced
1 Tablespoon cumin seeds, roasted and ground into powder
1 Tablespoon coriander seeds, roasted and ground into powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup Greek-style yoghurt
Fresh coriander, roughly chopped
What to do
Heat oil on medium and sweat onions ? for about 10mins. Add garlic, chilli and ginger and cook for another 5mins. Stir in all the spices and fry until fragrant.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste and simmer for at least 10mins to allow some of the juice to evaporate. Season with salt & pepper and set aside to cool.
Blend cooled mixture until smooth, then combine with chicken and yoghurt in a large pot and simmer on medium-low heat until warmed through.
Garnish with coriander before serving with steamed basmati rice and naan.

I have started making a fantastic foaming hand soap. I get really concerned about all of the antibiotics that I come in contact with. Having had an antibiotic resistant bug in the past, this is something I like to keep an eye on. I really like clean hands and love foaming antibacterial soaps. I just don't like the antibacterial aspect of the soap. So I started making my own with liquid Castile soap, essential oils and some water. It's in expensive, all natural and smells wonderful. The use of peppermint essential oil makes it invigorating as well. I love it!
If you are like me, you already have a few foaming hand soap pumps. If not, the dollar store sells foaming hand soap. Go buy a bottle, and either use or dump the contents. Then follow this really easy recipe.
Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap
1 part Dr. Bonner's liquid Castile soap
3 parts water
5 drops peppermint essential oil, you can use any kind you want
Combine in the pump leaving a little head space in the container, give it a shake, and it's ready for use.
I like to use an essential oil that has some antibacterial properties on its own. It doesn't contribute to resistant bacteria and I get all the benefits of using the oil. It's a win-win for me. Plus it's really inexpensive to make.
Hope this post has inspired you to cut a few antibiotics out of your life and help stop the spread of resistant bacteria.

Look! Bottle End Chandelier
Talk about eco-friendly! Artist Stuart Haygarth collects debris that has washed ashore and makes spectacular sculptures out of it. Take for example this luminous, ephemeral almost jelly fish-like chandelier made entirely out of plastic bottle ends.
It's the best kind of recycling in our opinion. We just need to work out how to make our own. Thanks to le territoire de sens for tipping us off!
3 Comments
What happens to the rest of the bottle once Haygarth cuts off the ends? Does he throw them away, or use them in another project I wonder?
This is mesmerizingly beautiful.

Beurettes Rebelles is something unique. I may not be able to read the French text of the tour but the pictures speak for themselves. Fully clad ladies slowly strip from their traditional costume to reveal pert bodies, they then explore these and use toys and fingers to please themselves. Later some hunky guys appear and you know that these ladies should not be doing this It looks exclusive and certainly original.

Givenchy Summer 2014 by Mert and Marcus featuring Asia Chow
Photography Justine Styling Geraida Kefford Make-up Nicole Jaritz Hair Fernando Torrent Model Saskia Slaaf
In a world where the most people wear on their heads is a pair of headphones, Stephen Jones is someone who has always understood the relevance of the hat. It's a gift that's widely appreciated. While Jones has been producing his own collections since 1980, one would be hard-pressed to come up with a designer with whom he hasn't collaborated at some point in his career. There are the likely suspects such as John Galliano, Thierry Mugler, and the houses of Christian Dior and Givenchy, but also the completely unexpected—Comme des Garçons, say; or Jil Sander or Walter van Beirendonck's W< line. Add to this his work with some of the more iconic pop stars of the last two decades (Madonna, Diana Ross, Grace Jones, Culture Club) and you're looking at someone who has come a long way since the days when he thought he might never be able to make a living as a milliner. Jones fell into his craft after he graduated from Saint Martins in 1979. It was a time when fashion was more about personal expression than wearing the right labels. Jones himself was deeply into his Ludwig of Bavaria mode as created by Visconti. Jones had first-hand experience of the more experimental end of millinery, making hats for the Blitz nightclub habitués Boy George, Steve Strange, and Spandau Ballet, who also happened to be his roommates at the infamous Warren Street squat in London. ("We'd wake up in the morning," Jones once said, "and the place would be surrounded by Japanese tourists.") In 1980, he opened his first shop cum salon in the basement of PX, the boutique where the eccentric hat-wearing denizens of the aforementioned Blitz outfitted themselves. A collection for Jasper Conran in 1981 sent Jones off on one long and rollicking head trip. Before long the 80s (hats for the film Another Country, a one-man show at the New York night club The Palladium, more hats for Boy George) gave way to the 90s (a slew of fashion exhibitions worldwide, still more hats for Boy George). Jones has offered up both the sublime and the saleable both serious couture quality and a near-surreal sense of humour—from fake zebra trilbies, feathered fedoras, and the fluttery confections that grace the ladies' heads at Ascot and English weddings to the heady flights of fancy that come out of his numerous collaborations, including tropical palms, a black lace mantilla, and a jaunty pillbox hat made, perversely, from a rattlesnake's skeleton.
Visionaire's Fashion 2001: Designers of the New Avant-Garde by Stephen Gan
Fall–Winter 1998–1999, Comme des Garçons
March 1998, Paris
Stylists Voice: Nancy Rohde
NR: Comme des Garçons has always been my most favourite. It's always the best creations, I think. Such diverse ideas are put to making clothes, but one can always tell her clothe from others. Any designers would be fortunate if they can hold a show like hers once in their lives. But she is doing it every season, and it's so great. As to this season, everyone was obsessed with the future in various ways. One good example is Andre Walker. Even Givenchy and Lacroix used hairstyles looked like Bladerunner. Kostas Murkudis used beautiful colours, yellow, red and gold. Martin Margiela had good clothes but his presentation was terrible. I want to see a show by him. I think that true avant garde is to surprise people by shows using models and music.
