The Ship is a long, narrow, traditional pub, always very busy. Five handpumps serving Proper Job, Yellowhammer and Tribute, among others. My pints of Proper Job were excellent. The outside seating area offers beautiful views across the Teign estuary. The best pub in Teignmouth by some distance. holbornboy - 1 Aug 2012 22:22 |
A great pub ruined by rip off prices and the idiots it attracts. I think i just summed it up. 4/10 montie49 - 7 May 2012 12:16 |
We returned to the Ship after visiting back in the summer, well you would not have thought it was the same place. Called in early evening to find hardly anyone here unlike what it was like in the summer, seems due to the high beer prices the locals dont go any more. devon_beer_drinker - 29 Oct 2011 11:12 |
Good location on the beach. Decent pint of Otter Ale. BarStallBert - 24 Jul 2011 23:48 |
Busiest pub in the town but the locals all crowd around a very small table and talk at the top of there voices. Moaning about everything and anything. We had to move to the other end of the bar because of it. We got talking to some other loacls in the pub and they told us it used to be busier but that table of Loud landlord freinds has put an end to it. They recommende The Blue Anchor. Shame because the Otter ale was the best pint we had in the town so far. Nice looking pub, just intimidating locals. bobbeer100 - 12 Dec 2009 10:27 |

In July 2011, Remy's agent, Frederic Guerra, revealed the extent of Liverpool's interest in the player:
"Liverpool are passing up a huge opportunity if they decide not to go with Remy. Nothing has been settled yet but I know that Liverpool are having a meeting about transfers and we expect something this week.
"The boy is pure gold and I am not saying that because I am his agent. He has great pace and that is something Liverpool need in attack.
"He is ideally suited for the English game and while he is determined to go to the Premier League, his heart is set on playing for Liverpool".
This week, speculation has about Liverpool's interest has resurfaced, and yesterday, Guerra insisted that Remy - who moved to Marseille in 2010 in a €15 million deal - still wants to play in the Premier League. He told Goal.com:
"Remy still has a dream of playing in English football. He plays like Thierry Henry - his next move will be to a club at a high level. After Euro 2012 the whole of Europe will want to sign him."
Sounds like a 'come and get me' plea to me. If Remy 'had his heart set on playing for Liverpool' six months ago then I doubt much would've changed in the intervening time. The club was obviously interested in the player, so Perhaps Kenny Dalglish will take another look at him now, or in the summer.

Here are my first two trial totems. They are not very tall. Maybe they will grow as I get experience. Now I just hope I can get the pictures post |

Well, I finally got a picture posted without any trouble but you have to click on them to enlarge and then you still get my entire album. It sure is hard to change something once you get it in this computer. - Marylee |
- Posted by azcactusflower 10 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 11, 11 at 18:44
They are both beautiful. Love the colors you used. For being trial totems you did an exceptional job! As you make more keep those pics coming. Thanks for sharing. |

azcactusflower - Thank you for those kind words. I am finding that it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have been hitting the thrift shop and flea market and am getting quite a cache. I am really looking forward to warm weather and the garage sales. Now I have a purpose for buying. - Marylee |

I also like the colors you've chosen ...are you going to put them in your gardens? Or will they be protected inside? I am just asking because many of us have learned to use those "large microwave round glass" for bottoms (stability) & then covered them with mulch or in flower beds so they don't show...much more stable. I think you're doing great! You will have fun GS'ing this summer! TFS! Jeanne S. |
Well, I'm glad I got to see your "whole album" cause now I'm jealous-- I love love love your saw blade!! The totems are great! The pink & greens one is lovely & the pink & clear is so cute with that cat or dog on top looking like it is ready to jump down. Great start on your totem making adventure. Jan |

Jeanne, I am going to put my totems in my flower beds which go around my whole yard and my house. (the more flowers you have..the less grass you mow) I was going to use stakes in the ground and pvc pipe to stabilize the totems. The microwave bottoms sound good..I will keep that in mind. Jan, I am glad you liked "my album" but I don't know what I did to get it there. I haven't seen that on other people's posts. Thank you both for your nice comments. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and seeing the pictures. Marylee |

I'm going nuts because our monitor is on the fritz and is very YELLOW. Ack! I can't tell the real colors of your totems but you sure have sum pretty pieces. Love your little birdy topper. I had to look through your photo album after reading Jan's post. he-he If you click on one of your pictures above, it takes you to your Photobucket album. We are able to look through the other pictures you have in that album. I like the circular saw blade too. |
Great job Marylee! Speaking from experience the first couple ones are always the most challenging. They are a bit harder to create then you might think. But, you've got the fever now so I can't wait to see your future creations. Going junking at the TS is my favorite weekly pass time. Best of luck! |

Thank you, Mary. I have been seeing your totems and they are marvelous. Marylee |

Very pretty!! I like the colors and the fact that they are not real tall.. |

Marylee~ You did a great job on your totems! Great color and shape combinations! But, unless you're going to put those on a post or pipe, take it from us...you will need a larger plate at the bottom or they will definitely fall over...a dinner plate will work fine or a microwave plate...I would hate to see them get broken...it will be easy to do as well. Great job and thanks for sharing them with us! |
- Posted by marylee_2010 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 13, 11 at 11:33
luna llena feliz, chevy57red and marlene - Thank you for your comments. I am going to put these on pipe but am waiting for spring. We still have snow everywhere. I haven't glued them together yet because I figured it was easier to keep the pieces stored until I can attach them and put them outside. I am also going to try some with the heavy microwave dishes for bases. I am so ready for spring! Marylee |
Nice totems! Just a tip-- I don't bury my microwave plate on the bottom, because it helps to keep the 'dirt-spatter' away from the main totem. |
- Posted by marylee_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 15, 11 at 15:51
honacook - Thank you for the heads up..I would never have thought of that until I saw the dirt spatters. - Marylee |

Marylee - very nice for your first attempt - my sister and I have been collecting dishes and will be making some when the weather turns. We tend to like the smaller/shorter ones. Yours are very pretty ..... Lynne |
Just beautiful Marylee! I hope you take pics of them in your gardens. I'm partial to birds and animals, teapots, heck maybe I'm just partial to it all! lol Happy creating. Linda |
very nice.....it's easy to get hooked on totems. |

ICU RN's responsible for CRRT or CVVH - page 3
What do you think about ICU RN's being responsible for setting up, troubleshooting and maintaining CRRT devices? Do you do this in your ICU and if so, what is your staffing ratio? If there are not a... Read More
0Jun 9, '06 by lake livingI am surprised that you state the scales are inaccurate because this is an operators issue not inaccurate scales. All machines do this if you ignore an alarm! I did go to their website and the FDA and it is training of staff. If you use a ballon pump, IV pump and ignore an alarm you can have issues. The ban isn't because of the machine scales and is suppose to be lifted. They didn't have to recall their machines they are still in use not like the Bxater machines
0Jun 14, '06 by aj1973In my ICU (which is med/surg/neuro/trauma/anything else!!) in Australia CCRN's set up, troubleshoot and maintain CVVHDF, but if an existing dialysis patient comes in, the dialysis unit nurses will bring down their CRRT and do the therapy. Only CCRN's and those studying to become CCRN's look after patients on CVVHDF except in rare circumstances, and the ratio is ALWAYS 1:1 (but that's the case for all ICU patients anyhow!)
0Jun 14, '06 by RUupinthenight2?In my facility the dialysis RN does set it up and is on call for problems. We run CVVHD and CVVHDF so I change the effluent bag, the dialysate and the replacement bags according to the machine and have had to discontinue trx and pack the ports when the filter has clotted off. I would like to learn the set up (it does not look hard). Patients are 1:1 if they are on pressors or staffing allows.
0Jun 14, '06 by lake livingwe are trained to do the set ups. it takes about 15 minutes. the company helped setthe program up and the assists with review. Managing the patient is the hard part not the set up. I do not want to wait for dialysis to come in to set up. I know it can be a political issue but at least I can change filters when I am ready.
0Jan 18, '11 by godfatherRNIn my unit (30 bed CVICU, largest in the state, and takes the highest risk pt's of the state) we use CVVH A LOT. We use the NxStage Machine (Which I hate by the way, had way less issues when we used Prisma in the past) ICU nurses control all aspects of the machine from initiating orders, to set-up, troubleshooting, changing filters, and discontinuing therapy (we do have a very good clinical engineer program at our facility and an engineer is always on call 24/7).
Our staffing ratio is always 1:1, for us it pretty much has to be, I can't remember the last CVVH pt we had that wasn't on multiple inotropes, pressors, antiarrhythmics, EF 10% etc. etc.
We use citrate and CaCal on pretty much all of our systems, but if our pt is real septic we're lucky to have it last 12-24hrs. -
0Jan 22, '11 by esieIn the Australian ICU I work at, we set up, maintain, troubleshoot and take down the circuits. The ICU I work at uses the Prisma, at the last ICU I worked at we used the Aquarius. It's interesting how two machines that have the same end goal can work so differently! All our patients are 1:1, regardless of ventilatory or other therapy status.
0Jan 25, '11 by MiniashIn the SICU that I work at, which is 40 beds and pretty much 20 of them are all on CRRT, they have a dialysis tech on our unit 24-7. They are responsible for setting up the machine, trouble shooting any issues, and taking down the machine too. As nurses, all we do is record the values and treat the patient's physical issues (titrating meds when BP too low, etc). I have found it to be a very user friendly arrangement, and the techs are very knowledgable at educating the nurses about the machines.

1 "You may cry for help, but no one listens. You may turn to the angels, but they give you no help. | 1 "Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn? |
2 Surely resentment destroys the fool, and jealousy kills the simple. | 2 Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple. |
3 From my experience, I know that fools who turn from God may be successful for the moment, but then comes sudden disaster. | 3 I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed. |
4 Their children are abandoned far from help, with no one to defend them. | 4 His children are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender. |
5 Their harvests are stolen, and their wealth satisfies the thirst of many others, not themselves! | 5 The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth. |
6 But evil does not spring from the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the earth. | 6 For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground. |
7 People are born for trouble as predictably as sparks fly upward from a fire." | 7 Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. |
8 "My advice to you is this: Go to God and present your case to him. | 8 "But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. |
9 For he does great works too marvelous to understand. He performs miracles without number. | 9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. |
10 He gives rain for the earth. He sends water for the fields. | 10 He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside. |
11 He gives prosperity to the poor and humble, and he takes sufferers to safety. | 11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. |
12 He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so their efforts will not succeed. | 12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. |
13 He catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness, so that their cunning schemes are thwarted. | 13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. |
14 They grope in the daylight as though they were blind; they see no better in the daytime than at night. | 14 Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. |
15 He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong. He saves them from the clutches of the powerful. | 15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. |
16 And so at last the poor have hope, and the fangs of the wicked are broken." | 16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth. |
17 "But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the chastening of the Almighty when you sin. | 17 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. |
18 For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal. | 18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. |
19 He will rescue you again and again so that no evil can touch you. | 19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you. |
20 He will save you from death in time of famine, from the power of the sword in time of war. | 20 In famine he will ransom you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. |
21 You will be safe from slander and will have no fear of destruction when it comes. | 21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. |
22 You will laugh at destruction and famine; wild animals will not terrify you. | 22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the earth. |
23 You will be at peace with the stones of the field, and its wild animals will be at peace with you. | 23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. |
24 You will know that your home is kept safe. When you visit your pastures, nothing will be missing. | 24 You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. |
25 Your children will be many; your descendants will be as plentiful as grass! | 25 You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. |
26 You will live to a good old age. You will not be harvested until the proper time!" | 26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. |
27 "We have found from experience that all this is true. Listen to my counsel, and apply it to yourself." | 27 "We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself." |

Yes, I see what you mean, that cover really should be screwed to the box. |
lol I meant to write more but there was a lot going on around me when I posted that. This is at a house I'm completely rewiring several towns over. All of that stuff was still working, despite the rust and corrosion. Not a single screw was removable, I had to disassemble the entire thing with a hammer. |
That's a beaut! Thanks for posting it. |

For example, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) noted in March 2008 that
[m]ajor federal agencies continue to experience significant information security control deficiencies that limit the effectiveness of their efforts to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information and information systems. Most agencies did not implement controls to sufficiently prevent, limit, or detect access to computer networks, systems, or information. In addition, agencies did not always effectively manage the configuration of network devices to prevent unauthorized access and ensure system integrity, patch key servers and workstations in a timely manner, assign duties to different individuals or groups so that one individual did not control all aspects of a process or transaction, and maintain complete continuity of operations plans for key information systems. An underlying cause for these weaknesses is that agencies have not fully or effectively implemented agencywide information security programs. As a result, federal systems and information are at increased risk of unauthorized access to and disclosure, modification, or destruction of sensitive information, as well as inadvertent or deliberate disruption of system operations and services. Such risks are illustrated, in part, by an increasing number of security incidents experienced by federal agencies.6
Such performance is reflected in the public's lack of trust in government agencies' ability to protect personal information.7 Security of government information systems is poor despite many relevant regulations and guidelines.8 Most communication and information systems are unnecessarily vulnerable to attack because of poor security practices, and

'Too little money going to the cause' is public's top reason for not donating
Written by Andrew Holt
Charities are likely to lose donations from the public if they are thought to spend too little on their cause, new research suggests.
The poll, carried out by research consultancy nfpSynergy, found that 61% of people gave this as their main reason not to give and it has been the top choice for three years running.
Half of people would be put off by "not being clear how donations are spent", while 47% said they would hold back their donation if "too much was spent on staff salaries."
The research, based on a survey of 1031 British adults, also revealed that fundraising also features prominently in people's reluctance to give.
Nearly half (43%) said they wouldn't want to donate if fundraisers were "too persistent" and a third (34%) keep hold of their money if fundraising methods are "too intrusive".
The study also shows a split in whether people think charities should save for the future.
Just over half (51%) thought charities should spend as much of their donation as possible on this year's need, but 43% were happy to see more spent on fundraising if it would increase future income.
nfpSynergy's driver of Ideas, Joe Saxton, said: "The evidence is clear; people want to know how their donations are spent. Charities should sing from the rooftops about what they spend their money on. It's time the sector stopped huffing and puffing and bit the bullet.
"We recently called for an easy way to find out how much of their income charities spend on what they're fighting and campaigning for. If charities want to increase donations and maintain the donors they already have, action should be taken...and quickly."
The research revealed:
People's most common reason for not giving to charity was "too little money going to the cause" (61%).
Half (50%) of people would be put off by "not being clear about how donations are spent". 47% are put off by "too much being spent on staff salaries".
Nearly half (43%) are put off by fundraisers being too persistent, with a third (34%) put off by fundraising methods that are "too intrusive".
The public are torn between thinking charities should spend as much of their donation as possible on this year's needs (51%), compared with 43% who were happy for more to be spent on fundraising if it will increase future income.

Apple iWatch to Debut Next October Along With iPhone 6?
by Dale WrightThe Apple iWatch, the much anticipated smartwatch from the Cupertino company, has been rumoured to be getting a release towards the end of next year and will reportedly launch alongside the iPhone 6.
New reports from China – where Apple's main factories are based – suggest that the tech giant is already testing two prototypes of the iWatch which will be ready to debut at a keynote event in October 2014. Since Samsung released its Galaxy Gear smartwatch earlier this year, all eyes have been on the Apple camp to see when it would follow with its own device. As Apple can't be the first mover in the smartwatch market, it's likely that the company is holding out to develop a really exciting product to make sure it stands out and gets back its reputation for innovation.
If the rumours are to be believed, the iWatch is currently being tested with a battery of 100 mA, in comparison to the Galaxy Gear's 315 mA battery. This doesn't necessarily mean that the iWatch will have less of a battery life though, maybe just that there's less to power? However, it's still strictly in prototype mode at the moment so there's still plenty of scope for it all to change.
Another big rumour surrounding the iWatch is the way it will be charged. The reports suggest that it will come with wireless charging capabilities, meaning that the battery will be able to keep recharging from up to a metre away from the charging dock. This means that the wearer of the iWatch will be able to keep it on their wrist while it recharges, though obviously keeping within the range of the charger. Details about the iWatch are likely to change a lot between now and October, so we'll keep our eyes open for further developments.

Top 5 favorite Hawaii towns: HAWAII Magazine Facebook poll results
by: Maureen O'Connell and Leah Montalbanoposted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 at 04:35 PM
No. 2
This north shore Kauai town seems to inspire all who cross the century-old, single-lane, steel-truss Hanalei River Bridge, which is near the small town's eclectic mix county-style stores, art galleries, eateries and trendy restaurants, boutiques, and adventure-outfitter shops. Surrounded by luxuriant green valleys, rugged cliff faces, and a breathtaking collection of white sand beaches, the area's natural beauty attracts a steady stream of visitors. Hanalei's historic highlights range from the Waioli Mission House, where influential Christian missionaries Abner and Lucy Wilcox lived during the 1800s, to the Hanalei Pier, which was built in 1892 and is still a popular spot for fishing, swimming, and just hanging out. The picturesque pier made an appearance in the 1957 film "South Pacific."

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr has been fined $20 000 after testing positive for marijuana. The WBC has also ordered the Mexican to undergo treatment.
And on the same day a British heavyweight, Ali Adams, was suspended for two years after testing positive for steroids.
Chavez lost his WBC middleweight title when Argentina's Sergio Martinez beat him on points in Las Vegas last month. Traces of marijuana were found in his urine after the bout.
He has since expressed regret for what he did and issued an apology to fans.
"The WBC fined Chavez Jr $20 000 (nearly R170 000). This sum will be donated to a medical centre that cares for children with cancer," the organisation said in a statement on Thursday.
"The WBC has also decided to suspend him for an undefined time, so he can enter a rehab centre.
"The WBC will open its doors once again to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, so he can continue his successful career when he feels he can return. The suspension will last as long as the rehab centre advises".
Chavez tested positive for a diuretic in 2009 and was hit with a seven-month ban as well as being stripped of a victory and fined $10nbsp 000 – ten per cent of that fight's purse.
Pre-fight test results have not yet been received by Nevada officials, whom promoter Bob Arum plans to seek leniency from because marijuana is regarded as a recreational drug and not a performance-enhancing substance.
"The Nevada Boxing Commission is independent of this matter … it did not have the courtesy to work with the WBC in this fight," the WBC said in its statement.
Chavez was arrested on a drunk-driving charge last January, only two weeks before a successful title defence. He reached a plea deal in that case that included three years of probation.
British anti-doping authorities said on Thursday Adams, an Iraqi-born professional, tested positive for stanozolol after his four-round loss to former Olympic champion Audley Harrison on May 26.
The ban will run until June 13, 2014, reports Sapa-AP.
UK Anti-Doping legal director Graham Arthur says the positive finding resulted from "a targeted, intelligence-led test."
Adams said the stanozolol may have come from medication he was using for a neck injury. But Arthur says stanozolol "is banned at all times in sport. There is no reason for it to be found in an athlete's system."
Adams has a record of 13 wins, four defeats and a draw.

Newborn Poems
This selection of newborn poems were written to celebrate that beautiful thing called birth. Welcoming babies is the common theme among these poems.
New Baby
New baby, new baby,
Open your eyes,
Know that you're loved,
And hush your soft cries.
Nestled so sweetly,
Inside your crib,
Drinking your bottle,
As it rests on your bib.
New baby, new baby,
I can't wait to see you smile,
But close your eyes and dream,
I'll be here all the while.
by Andra Mccoy

Sharing newborn baby poems with a mom that just gave birth is a wonderful way to show your excitement, on the new arrival. These days when one of my girlfriens or cousins gives birth, I get super excited, and want to see the baby right away. I'm sure this excitement originates from my past experiences with my babies. That's why mothers have this special connection.
Here's a newborn baby poem that Andra wrote that is very cute. One of my favourite new baby poems is called eat and sleep. I'm sure you know exactly what that one is all about.
A newborn baby's smile is a truly beautiful sight to see. My heart just melted when I saw baby Gabriela smile at me for the very first time. That is the theme behind this, new baby poem.
Mommy's Lullabies
You don't know much of anything,
But I guess that can't be helped,
You're new to this big, expansive world,
And you don't even know yourself!
There is so much to learn,
And so much time,
But just listen softly,
While I tell you this rhyme.
It's quite all right,
To just close your eyes,
And listen to the sound,
Of mommy's lullabies.
by Andra Mccoy
Often times when a mother or father stare at their newborn baby girl or son, they begin day dreaming about who this little child of theirs will become in the future. At first this may seem like it's very far into the future. However, in reality our babies will grow up so fast. That's why every moment with them is priceless. The poem titled, "Options" talks about this, on the newborn poetry page.
"Interesting Time", is another one of those very cute baby poems, but it's also different. The narrator is actually a newborn baby. So it sounds like the poem is being read by one of the babies from that movie, "Look Who's Talking". We think it falls into the category of scrapbook poems for new baby.
Sharing welcome baby poems with that newborn baby, mom and dad is a unique way to welcome that precious little soul to the world.
The welcome new baby poems page features a poem titled, "Our Love", that talks about having all these different things ready for the baby, but most importantly, love.
The new baby sayings page has a poem that talks about parents always hoping only the best things for their little babies.
Some babies are born with Apraxia of Speach. For more information on this condition visit our friends at ApraxiaSpeaks.com to learn what you can do about it.
We hope you liked reading these newborn poems, and we also hope that you will share them with your family, friends, and all the newborn babies in your life.
Your Girlfriends,
Cynthia, Andra, and Heather

John Grego, 07/14/2007
I headed down the Kingsnake Trail during the mid-morning to do some birding and maybe kick up a Swainson's Warbler (no such luck). The weather was overcast and comfortable, and the bugs are still few and far between, though spiders of all types are definitely making their appearance felt. Chanterelle mushrooms were plentiful--I was looking at a particularly dense concentration of them under a cherrybark oak, when George McCoy, heading in the opposite direction, recognized me. He had been birding, and reported a Loiuisiana Waterthrush. I took him down the trail to see the big cypress in Moccasin Pond. The water level was very low, and you could walk all the way around it--we admired the out-croppings of 6-foot (and higher) knees arranged around its base. From there, I had planned to continue to Old Dead River, but instead swung east along a gut to Big Snake Slough. Hiking was easy along this stretch, with very few obstacles or groundcover. I saw my only feral hog of the hike, and also flushed a fawn from its cover. Big Snake Slough was quite pretty, and clear enough to attract a few wading birds. Most impressively, there was a wide band of young cypress (10 to 20 feet high) along its edge. I had not seen such a concentration of young cypress in the Park before. I retraced my steps and did walk further south along the Kingsnake Trail extension; other than switchcane, the trail is still surprisingly clear, with only one large deadfall as an obstacle. On the way back, I stopped at a favorite bank with a good view of Summer Duck Slough. A pair of Belted Kingfishers were there, and a small flock of turkeys--two hens and three of their young--picked their way along the edge of the slough. On the way back to the car, I saw a Ruby-throated Hummingbird perform a display flight--arcing back and forth about 25 feet off the ground. Birding List

Also known asShaed, Madh, ShahedDescriptionHoney is a sweet substance produced by honey bees and some similar species from the nectar of flowers. Honey gets its sweetness from the mono-saccharides fructose and glucose and has approximately the same relative sweetness as that of granulated sugar (97% of the sweetness of sucrose, a disaccharide). Honey has attractive chemical properties for baking, and a distinctive flavour which some people prefer over sugar and other sweeteners. Generally, honey is classified by the floral source of the nectar from which it was made, or by the level of processing. Pasteurized honey is honey that has undergone a pasteurization (heating) process. Pasteurization in honey reduces the moisture level, destroys yeast cells, and liquefies crystals in the honey.Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling or straining without adding heat above 120°F. Raw honey contains some pollen and may contain small particles of wax.Strained honey is honey which has been passed through a mesh material to remove particulate material (pieces of wax, propolis, etc.) without removing pollen, minerals or valuable enzymes.Ultrasonicated honey is honey that has been processed by ultrasonication, a non-thermal processing alternative for honey. When honey is exposed to ultrasonication, most of the yeast cells are destroyed.Dried honey is honey in which the moisture has been extracted to create a completely solid, non-sticky version. This process is done in such a way that there are no additives or binding agents of any kind added, which keeps the honey 100% natural. Dried honey is commonly used to garnish desserts.How to select• Most commercially available honey is blended, meaning that it is a mixture of two or more honeys of different floral source, colour, flavour, density or geographic origin. • Check the expiry date before buying. • If possible, opt for organic honey. Organic honey refers to the honey or honey combs produced, processed, and packaged in accordance with national regulations, and certified as such by some government body or an independent organic farming certification organization.• Make sure the honey is not too crystallised – which could mean that there is some adulteration or it has been refrigerated.• Similarly, if you drop a spoon of honey in cold water, it should sink to the bottom and not dissolve. If it dissolves, it might be adulterated with sugar or jaggery syrup. Culinary Uses• Honey enhances browning and crispness, and is hence great for glazing roasted and baked foods to promote surface browning.• Honey is a flavour enhancer; it is a much-loved natural sweetener for hot teas and cold beverages, especially so when there are many varieties of honey to choose from. • It provides texture and feel, and is an excellent addition to pastries and cakes.• It prolongs shelf-life and is hence a natural preservative for pickles and sauces. • Honey retains moisture, an essential ingredient for prolonging moisture retention in rich cakes.• Honey provides binding due to its viscosity, and aids in shaping of desserts such as pastries, puddings and cakes. • It adds colour, adding a delightful golden hue to sauces, dressings, jellies and frozen desserts. How to store• Store honey in dark coloured bottles and keep them in a cool place in your kitchen cabinet.Health benefits• With respect to carbohydrates, honey is mainly fructose (about 38.5%) and glucose (about 31.0%),making it similar to the synthetically produced inverted sugar syrup which is approximately 48% fructose, 47% glucose, and 5% sucrose. Honey's remaining carbohydrates include maltose, sucrose, and other complex carbohydrates• As with all nutritive sweeteners, honey is mostly sugars and is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals.• Honey contains flavonoids that help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.• Reduces ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders.• All honey is antibacterial, because the bees add an enzyme that makes hydrogen peroxide.• Honey is superior in maintaining glycogen levels and improving recovery time than other sweeteners. Hence, it is good for athletes. • Reduces cough and throat irritation.• Some honeys have a low hypoglycemic index, and can be had by diabetics too. • Honey is probiotic food as it contains large amounts of friendly bacteria.• Honey is also believed to be good for the skin.

We had a huge storm last night. The lights flickered but stayed on.
After the storm, we noticed the garage door would not open and had no power to it. The receptacles in the garage and the laundry room light will not work.
I turned the breaker off and back on and still no power. Our house is 6 years old. My favorite electrician has moved out of state. Can someone lead me in the right direction as to what steps I need to take to solve the problem?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Mon, Jul 12, 10 at 11:32
All those receptacles are likely on a GFCI (and if you house is more than a few years old, probably all on the same GFCI). Look in those locations and any bathrooms or outside receptacles for an outlet with "TEST" and "RESET" buttons on it and press the RESET. |
Thanks for the reply! I reset all the GFCI in the house.I will double check in case I missed some. Still no power to the light and receptacles. I do have a porch GFCI that will not reset.With the heavy sheets of rain, I assume it may have tripped due to moisture. It is on a different breaker but it is not far from the garage. Would a ceiling fixture have been on a circuit with a GFCI This morning I did purchase a new breaker for the non-working circuit and a new GFCI for the porch. |
The porch GFCI is likely your problem. Or there is another GFCI in the garage that is hidden behind the pile of boxes that have been there since you moved in. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Mon, Jul 12, 10 at 13:35
With the exception of certain bath fixtures, no lighting is ever required to be on GFCI, but who knows how your house might be wired. |
joed, LOL! I think my husband is glad it happened as now we may have to clean up the garage for an electrician! All the boxes are my stuff and he is tired of tripping over them! When I get home I will look behind the boxes for a GFCI I may have missed. ronnatalie, |
I finally found a GFCI behind the heaviest boxes! It was tripped and would not reset. I replaced it and I have power again. Thanks!!!!! |
I loved it Joed, "YOU DA MAN", but now I have to go and change my shorts. |

By now you've likely seen the new logo and had a chance to get familiar with the majesty of the Toronto Blue Jays' new alternate blue jerseys. But just in case the space inside your heart that's marked for baseball uniform appreciation isn't full already, we've got you covered.
The Score's Chris Suppa went down to Rogers Centre today to take some photos of the unveiling, and the results are after the jump:
I haven't seen this much second base action since the Peterborough Baptist youth group meetings I used to go to when I was thirteen.
The only thing colder than this ice sculpture is incessantly reminding Blue Jays fans that their team hasn't been in the playoffs since 1993.
Sadly, I couldn't be there in person to see the unveiling of the new logo. But at least my lesbian nana could make it. #BeestMode
My favourite thing said about the new uniforms came from Jose Bautista, who rarely suffers from a lack of confidence: "I couldn't have designed them better myself."
Awesome. I'm glad the powers that be got the team's latest interplanetary signing, Zolgad IV, to model the new uniforms as well. This is going to really increase the team's marketing efforts on his home planet, which is also called Zolgad IV.

Hawthorne Elementary experiencing revitalization with aid of community
Parents and neighbors of Hawthorne Elementary in Seattle's Columbia City neighborhood, long considered among the lowest-performing in the state, are trying to turn the school around by donating their money, time and ideas.
Seattle Times education reporter
It's Saturday night and parents are streaming into a decked-out Seattle museum, elegantly dressed and eager to bid on concert tickets, student artwork and dozens of other donated items.
But the school on the receiving end of this classic PTA fundraising auction is not located in Queen Anne or Madison Park.
It's the Columbia City neighborhood's Hawthorne Elementary, one of the poorest, most diverse and historically low-performing schools in Seattle.
The auction, held late last month at the Northwest African American Museum, raised about $40,000.
But attendees said it represented something bigger — that Hawthorne is undergoing a revitalization, thanks in part to a growing group of parents who are increasingly donating money, time and ideas.
The parent engagement is being driven in part by a high-profile federal grant that's pumping $1.5 million into the school over a three-year period. But mostly, parents say, it's powered by a community's decision to embrace a school.
"It's our neighborhood school," said Linnea Fichter, who serves as the school's PTA treasurer even though her 2-year-old son is still years away from attending. "It's a school for our community."
It's not at all clear if the increased involvement will translate to higher student achievement. The school's average scores on state tests roughly doubled last year, but the scores were still far below average, and there's no guarantee the increase can be maintained.
Still, officials say the Hawthorne story is an encouraging one for a district that recently moved to a neighborhood-based student-assignment plan on the hope that parents would embrace the school closest to them.
"What I always tell parents is that, when you don't see academics going up (at your local school), instead of leaving you can stay and make a difference," said Betty Patu, who represents Southeast Seattle on the School Board.
"Parents can say, 'Why do I have to leave? My school can become a great school.' "
Making a difference
At the end of the 2008-2009 school year, 18.4 percent of Hawthorne third-graders passed the state reading test, and 23.7 percent passed the state math test.
The next fall, new principal Sandra Scott arrived determined to turn things around. And in January, she caught a break when the low test scores, along with other factors, qualified Hawthorne to apply for a lucrative federal School Improvement Grant.
Scott, an easygoing and open leader, formed a team of teachers and parents to write the grant application. The plan they came up with included a focus on the arts, extra class time and two staff positions dedicated at least partially to parent engagement.
The grant-funded positions, a family-engagement specialist and business manager, joined two family-support workers already at the school. Those workers, funded through the city's Families and Education Levy, work to make sure families have basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing.
"We're basically running a food bank out of our school," said parent Andrew Roe, standing in the school's Family Center, a well-stocked pantry on the second floor, on a recent school day.
Roe and a handful of other parents joined the effort as the grant funding kicked in. Inspired by Scott and the districtwide move toward neighborhood schools, the group restructured the PTA with a goal of becoming partners with the school administration.
At first glance, the parents' biggest contribution appears to be raising more money — thousands of extra dollars that go toward buying art supplies and laptops for classroom use, among other items.
Much of the money comes from the new auction. The parents know that the now-annual event will never raise as much as similar events at schools in wealthy neighborhoods but say it helps galvanize the community.
That's also the goal of a dozen or so other events they've held this year, from literacy night and math nights to African-American parent involvement and community-service days.
With more families involved, the group also has encouraged parents to help out in classrooms.
That has made a bigger difference than the fundraising, said Tami Gianacos, a resource-room teacher. "Whenever there are more adults in the classroom, it helps the students focus," said Gianacos, who noted that many of Hawthorne's immigrant students come from cultures where parent involvement in school is rare.
Gianacos and other teachers pointed to several other factors propelling improvement at Hawthorne, from a revamped reading-intervention program to a more collaborative staff that is emphasizing coordinated lesson planning.
What's changed the most has been the culture, said Lindsay Crawford, a Hawthorne parent whose son has been at the school for five years.
"My son loves going to school now," Crawford said.
Long way to go
But while Hawthorne's test scores have risen, they are still low.
They are so low, in fact, that a December report by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction found that the school's three-year average test-passage rate ranked among the bottom 5 percent in the state.
The ranking mostly reflected just how bad things used to be, but it served as a reminder to the Hawthorne parents of the school's reputation as a low-performing school — a characterization parents reject.
"We're not a failing school. We're a fighting school," said Graham Ayers, an involved parent of a Hawthorne kindergartner. "And we like being a fighting school."
Ayers and others disputed the notion that test scores should be the only way to measure a school, especially at places with large numbers of students who must deal with challenging family situations.
Some aspects of education, like student enthusiasm and appreciation of the arts, can't be measured but are still important, said Tre' Maxie, executive director of Powerful Schools, a nonprofit education group that works with several schools, including Hawthorne.
Still, everybody at Hawthorne acknowledges they still have a lot of work to do.
"It's a long-term battle," Ayers said. "We have a long way to go."

How to factor your lifespan into retirement planning
May 16, 2014 @ 12:00 am
Runtime: 5:57
Retirees should consider their longevity when making plans for how to take Social Security benefits and invest in annuities. The Wall Street Journal columnists Jonathan Clements and Jason Zweig explain.
Video Transcript
This week on Wealthtrack two outstanding personal finance journalists, Jonathan
Clements and Jason Zweig, tackle the biggest financial challenges facing
Americans and how to overcome them: retirement income, Market volatility
and getting good financial advice. Are next on Consuelo Mack
WealthTrack. I began the interview by asking them about one
of the greatest challenges facing Americans, finding enough income for
retirement. Well, you know what the big story is. You
go back to 1981; we had the 10 year treasury
note yielding almost 16%. That rolled all the way down
to July, 2012, we hit 1.4%. From there we bounced
up a little bit. We got pretty close to three,
but still we are at a very low level. And
for a lot of retirees it's like, I can't live
off 3%. Where am I gonna turn for income? And
my first suggestion is you should exploit the one advantage
that we all have. We're gonna die. And the way
you exploit that advantage. [LAUGH] Is one, you can buy
an annuity that'll pay you lifetime income. And the longer
you wait to buy that annuity the more income you're
gonna get. What I'm talking about here is like, plain
vanilla immediate fixed annuities. Mm-hm. And second, if you're interested
in the annuity idea, the best annuity out there is
Social Security. So, if you want that lifetime stream of
income, what you should think about doing is delaying Social
Security for as long as possible, preferably to as late
as age 70. If you do that, delay till age
70, the amount of income you're gonna get will be
more than 70% higher than what you would have got
at age 62 and on top of that, there will
also be inflation increases. Jason, would you agree with Jonathan
number one on how we've started this conversation and Social
Security and, and a fixed immediate annuity would be, would
be, those would be two things that you should really
look seriously at? You know, well, well, definitely. I mean,
I think one thing that retirees and near retirees tend
to forget is they think of Social Security as an,
as a source of income, which. Right. Of course it
is. They don't really think of it as an asset.
Mm-hm. And one of the useful things, I don't know
what multiplier you would use, Jonathan, but maybe as a
rough rule of thumb, something like 30, right? You would
say, well, if I get a, if I get a
thousand dollars a month from Social Security, that's $12,000 a
year. So that's sort of the equivalent of owning maybe
350, $400,000 worth of bonds. That's a very rough rule
of thumb. No, but that's a really good way to
look at it. And so a lot of people feel
going into retirement, you know, I need to own a
ton of bonds, because I need all, to generate all
of this income, but you already own some bonds in
the form of the Social Security that's being generated for
you. So you should factor that into your thinking. I'm
richer than I thought. [LAUGH]. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And, I
guess the, the flip side to the annuity argument is
that Americans need to be careful of annuities that are
pushed really hard by people with what I think we
could call sort of obscene incentives to sell them. Not
the immediate income annuities that Jonathon's talking about but a
lot of other fixed annuities carry commissions of, you know,
nine, 10% or higher, and you should really ask yourself,
if somebody has to get paid 10% to sell this
to me, how good could it be? [LAUGH] When, you
know, much lower cost alternatives are available. You probably don't
wanna buy the thing that somebody wouldn't be willing to
sell you if he wasn't gonna be able to earn
10% to do it. The biggest risk in retirement is
that you're gonna outlive your savings. And so what you
want are lifetime streams of income. And you get that
from Social Security. And you can get that from an
immediate fixed annuity. So what I would suggest people do
is, if you're gonna spend down your savings at any
point, spend them down early in retirement so that you
can put off buying that immediate fixed annuity, and you
can put off claiming social security, and that way you're
going to get that larger stream of lifetime income. And
you'll say to me, well, okay, but what if I
do die young? Well, it's not a decision you'll live
to regret. You can buy an immediate fixed annuity at
any time and you're saying that, that the, that the
later you wait, the longer you wait, the later you
buy it, the better off and the more money you're
gonna get for whatever investment you make in it? That's
correct. There are other people who have advised us on
wealth track is to stagger your purchases of these annuities.
For instance to buy, I don't know, $50,000 now and
then in another five years when interest rates are higher,
buy another $50,000. I mean, what about that kind of
strategy? [CROSSTALK] Assuming, cuz you're assuming, number one, where you're
gonna get more money, but also you're assuming that interest
rates will be higher than they are now, which are
still pretty much near record lows. Yeah, well it's hard
to forecast interest rates. What we do know, and Jason's
much more adept at talking about this than I am,
investors tend to have an aversion to regret. And so,
people don't want to make that annuity purchase all at
once. So if you stagger it over time, what you
do is, at least in your head, reduce the risk
that you're going to make the big annuity purchase and
then keel over and die. Right, Jason? Yeah, for sure.
And, you know, part of what investors always need to
diversify is the risks in their own behavior. So one
risk is people are aversed to annuities because they don't
like shelling out the lump sum up front. Yes. To
get drips and drabs over time. So what you can
do is you can say, well, I'm little uncomfortable shelling
out all this money out today that I'm gonna receive
over the next 10, 20 or 30 years, so maybe
I'll do some today, some one year from now or
five years from now. The trick to that is you
have to make a pre-commitment to it. [MUSIC]

Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award
Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist
New York Times bestseller
First drink
First prank
First friend
First girl
Last words
Miles "Pudge" Halter is abandoning his safe-okay, boring-life. Fascinated by the last words of famous people, Pudge leaves for boarding school to seek what a dying Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps."
Pudge becomes encircled by friends whose lives are everything but safe and boring. Their nucleus is razor-sharp, sexy, and self-destructive Alaska, who has perfected the arts of pranking and evading school rules. Pudge falls impossibly in love. When tragedy strikes the close-knit group, it is only in coming face-to-face with death that Pudge discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.
John Green's stunning debut marks the arrival of a stand-out new voice in young adult fiction.
An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Readers
A 2005 Booklist Editors' Choice
A Kirkus Best Book of 2005
A 2005 SLJ Best Book of the Year
A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age
"What sets this novel apart is the brilliant, insightful, suffering but enduring voice of Miles Halter." –Chicago Tribune
"Funny, sad, inspiring, and always compelling." –Bookpage
"Stunning conclusion . . . one worthy of a book this good." –Philadelphia Inquirer
"The spirit of Holden Caulfield lives on." –Kliatt
"What sings and soars in this gorgeously told tale is Green's mastery of language and the sweet, rough edges of Pudge's voice. Girls will cry and boys will find love, lust, loss and longing in Alaska's vanilla-and-cigarettes scent." Kirkus, starred review
"Miles's narration is alive with sweet, self-deprecating humor, and his obvious struggle to tell the story truthfully adds to his believability. Like Phineas in John Knowles's A Separate Peace, Green draws Alaska so lovingly, in self-loathing darkness as well as energetic light, that readers mourn her loss along with her friends." –SLJ, starred review
"…Miles is a witty narrator who manages to be credible as the overlooked kid, but he's also an articulate spokesperson for the legions of teen searching for life meaning (his taste for famous last words is a believable and entertaining quirk), and the Colonel's smarts, clannish loyalties, and relentlessly methodological approach to problems make him a true original….There's a certain recursive fitness here, since this is exactly the kind of book that makes kids like Miles certain that boarding school will bring them their destiny, but perceptive readers may also realize that their own lives await the discovery of meaning even as they vicariously experience Miles' quest." –Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"Readers will only hope that this is not the last word from this promising new author." –Publishers Weekly
"John Green has written a powerful novel—one that plunges headlong into the labyrinth of life, love, and the mysteries of being human. This is a book that will touch your life, so don't read it sitting down. Stand up, and take a step into the Great Perhaps."
—K.L. Going, author of Fat Kid Rules the World, a Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book
First and foremost, what's your favorite snack to eat while writing?
Unfortunately, typing requires two hands and eating requires atleast one, which is why one meets a lot of pale, gaunt writers. Unlike most authors, though, my "writing" involves very little in the way of typing. I mostly stare at the computer and eat Cheez-Its.
What made you decide to write this book?
Some of it has its roots in my high-school experiences. But the story came together in my head while I was working as a chaplain at a children's hospital. It was there that I imagined the character of Alaska for the first time, and there that I decided to write a novel for teens. Also, I wanted to write a book because I felt, deep inside my heart, that it would make my ex-girlfriends regret dumping me.
Where do you do most of your writing?
My apartment has a basement, which my roommates and I call "the Hole." We all work in theHole. My roommate, the architect, has his drafting board down here, and my roommate, the law student, sits down here in the lay-z-boy and reads these intimidatingly thick law books, and I sit with my feet propped up on my desk, eating Cheez-Its.
Have you started working on next book? Can you give us a sneak peak?
My next book is about a washed-up child prodigy who has dated 19 girls, each of whom dumped him and each of whom was named Katherine. It's called An Abundance of Katherines, and it is, I'll admit, semiautobiographical. I wasn't a child prodigy or anything,and I've dated more Sarahs than Katherines, but I have been dumped 19 times.
What were your own high school experiences like — and how (if at all) do they figure into your writing and affect the way you write about your character's lives?
Like the narrator of my book, Pudge Halter, I'm a skinny dork with a last-words obsession who attended a boarding school in Alabama. But the similarities end there, mostly: Pudge is cuter than I ever was and considerably more charming. I was a bit of a troublemaker in high school, though the trouble I made was never terribly serious. I suppose I was the kind of kid who constantly gets accused of failing to "fulfill" his "potential." Pudge isn't like that all, but I'd be lying if I said my high-school experiences didn't inspire much of what transpires in Looking for Alaska.
Did you pull off any pranks in high school? If so, what is the most memorable?
A lot of brilliant pranks were pulled during my time at boarding school, but I wasn't involved in most of them. My greatest personal pranking accomplishment probably came in the spring of my sophomore year. Amidst an epic prank war, my roommate and I borrowed an enemy senior's car and parallel parked it in such a way that it blocked the entrance to the school, making it impossible for anyone to drive on or off of campus. While I don't recommend this course of action to anyone, I'll say this: Algebra II was canceled that morning.
Why do you write for teens and what interests you about this audience?
I like writing for teenagers because big questions—about love and religion and compassion and grief—matter to teens in a very visceral way. And it's fun to write teenage characters. They're funny and clever and feel so much so intensely.
Who are some of your favorite authors?
It's hard to even pick some of my favorite authors. This would be much easier if you'd ask me who some of my favorite ex-girlfriends are, because then I'd just answer with silence and we'd all have a good laugh. I'm going to set the limit at 10 and break them up into two teams of five a side: The Living Team: J. D. Salinger, Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, and Toni Morrison. The Dead Team: Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Robert Penn Warren. (I was going to put James Joyce and Leo Tolstoy on the Dead Team, but then the Dead Team would have won in a blow-out, and I want it to be a good match-up.)
What are you reading now?
I'm rereading Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston. Ms. Hurston, you'll note, didn't make The Dead Team, but you could certainly make a case for her—it's a flat-out marvel of a book. Also, I'm reading Shelby Foote's three-volume history ofthe Civil War. I've been reading it off and on for almost ten years, and so far, I've only made it halfway through volume 2. It's hard to get into, because I know how it's going to end. I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone, but I'm pretty sure the South loses. And on the kids' side, I'm reading Ilene Cooper's wonderful Sam I Am.
Do you know someone like Alaska? Pudge?
I don't know anyone like Alaska anymore, but I used to. In high school, particularly, I was irrepressibly attracted to people with Alaska's charisma and adventurousness. And I certainly know someone like Pudge: Me. In some ways, Pudge and I are different (Pudge hates novels, I love them; Pudge likes oatmeal cream pies, and I think they cause cancer). But I see a lot of Pudge in myself.
The whole dying words thing is a little morbid. Why do you think Pudge is so fascinated by them?
People's last words are morbid, but they're also often fun. (I think of a dying Oscar Wilde looking up at his garishly decorated hotel room and saying, "Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.") I think Pudge likes last words because he likes history, he likes knowing what happened to people and why it happened, and he believes (as I do) that how people die often reveals a lot about how they lived.
Best day/Worst day?
Best Day Ever: It hasn't quite happened yet. At the very end of the modern cinematic classic Back to the Future, there's a scene where Mr. McFly gets a package. And inside the package are finished copies of his new novel. Ever since I was a kid, I've been dreaming about the day when I tear open a box and find copies of my own book inside. So right now, that's slated to be my next Best Day Ever, and I'm pretty sure it will remain so until I get married.
Worst Day Ever: When I was in middle school, my parents convinced me to go to the Cotillion, which was like a dance, only more horrible, because all the other kids who attended were really popular. I made the mistake of asking one of the girls to dance. She declined, whereupon I burst into tears. I have no idea why I started crying, but I felt very alone and rejected and ugly and generally like I would never be popular (the latter of which was pretty much true). A Cotillion chaperone had to call my dad to come pick me up. But that was also a good day in some ways, because it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry, and there is something nice about having your dad understand how you feel.
Favorite last words?
In the dying wittily category, I have to pick Oscar Wilde. Dying in a garishly decorated hotel room, Wilde said, "Either this wallpaper goes—or I do." But for beauty, I sure like Emily Dickinson's. "I must go in," she said. "The fog is rising."
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it says on your website that you were a finalist for "Chicago's most fabulous 20somethings." Did you win?
I did, oddly enough. My girlfriend nominated me as a joke, and then, lo and behold, it turns out that I am actually fabulous. I feel like this speaks poorly of Chicago's 20somethings as a whole, since even my girlfriend will tell you that while I have my redeeming qualities, I am not overwhelmingly fabulous. *That whole story, for example is a total lie. I never went to a career counselor. Forgive me. I have to keep practicing so my lying stays sharp.
