No, I haven't had a sudden change of body dysmorphic heart. Not only am I not getting naked for Playboy, I don't plan on being photographed in shorts for as long as I live.
BUT,…I will gladly bare my SOUL for Playboy's humor, entertainment and lifestyle website The Smoking Jacket! I had my first piece published there this week. As a friend of mine so aptly described it, it's a story of "drugs, a maxi pad and a whole lot of sweating".
The Puffer: A Tale of Sneaking Weed Onto A Plane
I walked up to the airport security checkpoint feeling confident and secure—with a fat sack of weed in my underpants. I'd brought more pot than I needed on my trip back East to see my family and there was no way I was just throwing it out. I was bringing it back to L.A. with me.

Do you know Jack (London)?
I had a grandfather who rushed to the Klondike in 1898 and lived long enough to dandle me on his knee and tell me stories. That probably predisposed me to like Jack London.
Like many people, I read his short stories and books like Call of the Wild and White Fang to get a taste of the life in the wilderness and the Great White North. These tales were all the more vivid because I could imagine my grandfather in them, tramping in snowshoes, climbing Chilkoot Pass, panning for gold. Grandpa had a precious nugget embedded in one of the curved pipes he like to smoke (always curved, he said, because straight pipes got in the way of reading the newspaper). That little nugget hinted and glinted of treasure and adventure. So did London's tales.
Many put Jack London away with child's things, acknowledging him as a master of juvenile fiction, of stories to keep alongside Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Mark Twain. But as a new biography of London (due in June) tells it, dismissing London this way is a mistake.
In Wolf: the Lives of Jack London (Basic Books, $29.95), James L. Haley gives us a terrific, compact biography that helps to restore London as a complex, prodigious writer of much (perhaps too much) more than tales of adventure. He was a writer who threw himself into his times, and burned out early due to back-breaking labor, booze, brilliance, and a bravehearted engagement in the radical politics.
My own brief rediscovery of London began and ended in late adolescence. I came across a copy of Martin Eden, London's novel about a budding author who woos a woman of the upper-middle class and strives for recognition and commercial success. He is rejected, lonely, desperate, the prototypical suffering scribe. He eventually hits it big, yet finds no happiness. The system grinds him up (those who remember the era of rejection slips will be able to relate to the agony), his art is compromised. The book ends with the author slipping off a ship at sea and sinking into oblivion, a suicide who chooses to disappear.
For a budding writer, Martin Eden offers a scary study. Its message: the only thing more miserable than literary failure is success. It brings to mind the old Red Smith quote: "Writing is easy. You just sit down at the typewriter, open up a vein and bleed it out drop by drop." The very act of creativity often takes a toll that requires stamina and self-destruction. Getting on the bestseller list is no assurance of ease, and in fact can increase the pressures as more blood is required to keep up with demand.
After Martin Eden, I stopped reading Jack London. The book was so clearly autobiographical, in fact, it was hard for me not to see the character and author as the same.
It was one thing to imagine writing in a garret and dying young and unknown for art; it was another to ponder making it and then hating where it got you. London, I'd heard, had written Martin Eden and an abundance of other books, then killed himself too. Martin Eden stood as a warning for young writers, like all those dead horses and graves along the Klondike trails.
There is debate about whether he committed suicide or not, but no question that Jack London was a remarkable talent from a hard-luck background whose success was largely self-made. He was a child laborer (put to work to help support the family at age 10), who had to fight to develop any kind of life of the mind. London wrote adventure stories, and he also lived adventures: going to the Klondike, shipping off to sea on a sealing voyage, riding the rails, even engaging in oyster piracy. He also became a dedicated socialist, a member of a San Francisco bohemian literary salon, The Crowd, reminiscent of a later Bay Area literary community, the Beats, a member of which was another rambling Jack named Kerouac.

Wonderful story Knute, I never really read Jack London's stories like Call of the Wild until much later. What I did read when I was very young, were his stories about oppressed people, the "wage slaves." Too many of his stories ring true today in our current economic experiences.
Another famous son of the Klondike was Robert Service, who also became famous for his poetry about the Klondike. But like Jack London, he also wrote more meaningful poetry about the common man.

Thanks Knute for this timely reminder about this great American writer. Pick up the novel "Burning Daylight" for a fabulous story of high stakes physical adventure in Alaska, guts ball bluffing in Manhatten and deep love in San Francisco. It's one of our best West Coast stories!

My grandfather, Edwin Engelstad, knew both Jack London and Robert Service from their time together in Nome. Grandfather was a featured soloist in Wyatt Earp's bar there, where London, Service, and other characters hung out. Kurt Engelstad

Thank you, Mr. Berger, for another thought-evoking read.
My favorite London book is The Star Rover, long suppressed by Christian zealots in retaliation for its matter-of-fact discussion of reincarnation but nevertheless periodically available in limited editions, for which Google.
In the wake of a fairly intense discussion in which I had denounced the wretchedly bad writing that has come to obscure the entire topic of reincarnation (especially since its capture by New Age cultists), a Seattle woman gave me an original 1915 (Macmillan) copy of Star Rover, probably in 1974. But that gift, something I genuinely cherished, was one of many volumes lost a decade later in the fire, most likely arson, that destroyed not just my library but all my own significant work.
One of the almost forgotten facts about London -- its obscurity today due to the ejection of Ernest Hemingway from the list of academically approved literature (yet another aesthetic atrocity committed in the name of "political correctness") -- is that London was a major influence, indeed perhaps the prime influence, who shaped Hemingway's stylistic development.

Newbie question. I kept these amaryllis seedlings indoors over the winter in NY, and let them out 2 weeks ago. Ever since they've slowly been drooping and turning red/pale/soft. Only thing I can think of is the cold (~ 40-45 degree at night) temperature shock. Can they recover? I'd be pretty frustrated for them to die now. Anyone have any ideas? |

True, but its the color of the leaf itself not growing on top of it... |

You may want to take one or two out of their pots and take a look at what is going on with the bulbs... just to see if there is something suspicious below ground. Tina |

Quick update, I've stopped watering them from on top for a week now and they seem to be improving. The only thing I an think of is that the cold weather forced it into dormancy (being that it was at 70 degrees for 7 months and then cruelly thrust outside) or that the watering on top rotted it somehow. |
- Posted by brownest_thumb none (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 11:24
Tina, I dug up one and the bulb itself looks fine (I think). It's a healthy yellow/green and around the size of 3 golf balls. It did have a extremely thin brown crackly coating extending from the shriveled leaves, I peeled it off though. Do you think it's early dormancy? |
- Posted by berkeleysgr8 8b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 12 at 1:21
I think they may have dropped their leaves so they could grow new leaves that are better suited to their new conditions. It's good news that the bulbs are decent size and look good! I'm no expert on hippeastrum, this is only my second year growing them. However, I have noticed that most of the plants I've recently moved outdoors have not taken the move well. Some are dropping their leaves and growing new ones. Presumably the leaves they grew while indoors were suited to the lower light levels... and now they need leaves that can handle the higher light that is available outdoors. I think your bulbs will be just fine. Cut back a bit on the watering until you see new leaves emerge. Instead of watering from above, you may want to try watering from below (by setting the pots in a container of water and allowing them to wick up moisture for about 15 minutes at each watering interval). Good luck and keep us posted! |
The leaves got sun-burnt that's all. New leaves will appear, that tolerate unfiltered irradiation: So berkeleysgr8 provided the correct suggestion. |

I'm very happy that one of our resident experts, haweha, agrees! |

Pinterest Adds French Site in Order to Become More Insufferable
Pinterest is taking its well-lit show on the road, expanding eastward to the land of cigarettes, simple carbs and wafting B.O. — France.
The site, which is pretty much Tumblr for basic bitches, can already be accessed in French and a few other languages. The official new froggy version will simply provide more French site links and localized content, according to TechCrunch. That likely means an endless stream of pinned Gauloises, animal liver and American Top 40 hits from the mid-2000s. Read More

Although this sheer tinted lip plumper contains several peptides, none of them have been proven by published research to make thinning lips fuller. This product will not provide results even remotely close to the results from lip injections with filler collagen; in fact, ongoing use of this lip plumper can damage healthy collagen production. That's because it contains the potent menthol derivative menthone glycerin acetal, which is what makes your lips tingle. Unfortunately, that tingle is your lips telling you they're being irritated, not volumized, and the minimal plumping you may see from this "treatment" isn't worth the risk irritation presents (see More Info for details).
Aethetically, this lip plumper's main ingredients give it a thick, somewhat sticky feel, but also a glossy finish imbued with shimmer from mica. The effect can be flattering, but you can achieve it with countless lip glosses that don't expose your lips to irritating ingredients.
More Info:
Irritation, whether you see it on your lips or not, causes inflammation and as a result impairs healing, damages collagen, and depletes the vital substances your lips needs to stay young. For these reasons, it is best to eliminate, or minimize as much as possible, your exposure to known skin and lip irritants, especially when there are brilliant formulas available that do not include these types of problematic ingredients (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Clinically tested MAXI-LIP and VOLU-LIP help enhance lip volume, while our patent pending Un-Wrinkle blend of six peptides help reduce the appearance of both deep & fine lip lines. With a fresh minty tingle, high shine and sheer wash of color—utterly addictive.
Polybutene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate, Octyldodecanol, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Menthone Glycerin Acetal, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Microcrystalline Wax, Silica, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Saccharin, Portulaca Pilosa Extract, BHT, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Sucrose Cocoate, Limonene.

Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these products don't have fragrance, and they lack the long lists of ingredients that are often unnecessarily complicated. Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly. No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps—all of which reinforce the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise there are a few embarrassing missteps to avoid, such as products that contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause free-radical damage and hurt skin; irritating acne products that contain sulfur; unimpressive masks (odd for a spa-oriented line); and a bumper crop of products claiming to affect expression lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to cosmetic corrective procedures.

Through his work as the founder of the Great Comebacks® Program, Rolf has provided patients and family members who face the physical and emotional challenges of Inflammatory Bowel Disease with hope, inspiration and education for more than 20 years.
As the place-kicker for the San Diego Chargers for 10 seasons, Rolf held 16 team records and was the third-most accurate kicker in league history when he retired. What makes Rolf's football career so remarkable is that he played the majority of his career with ulcerative colitis and an ostomy.
After being diagnosed with IBD, Rolf played "sick" through two seasons. Four weeks into the 1979 season, Rolf collapsed on a team flight and needed emergency ostomy surgery. After a month in the intensive care unit and his weight a frail 123 pounds, he was finally released from the hospital. Rolf was devastated not only about the prospect of never playing football again, but also adjusting to life with an ileostomy.
Rolf amazingly returned to professional football the following year, healthier and stronger than ever. He would play seven more seasons and retired as the team's leading scorer, but Rolf is most proud of the visibility he has brought to IBD and ostomy surgery through the Great Comebacks® Program. His field goal in a 1982 playoff game in Miami lifted the Chargers to a 41-38 overtime victory against the Dolphins — a game that many sportswriters still consider the most exciting NFL game ever played.
For Rolf, his illness turned out to be more than learning to cope with IBD and ostomy surgery. It became an inspirational blessing that would define a mission for the rest of his life — a passion for patients that is exemplified in the spirit of the Great Comebacks® Program.
In addition to being named 1979 "NFL Man of the Year," Benirschke received such honors as "Comeback Player of the Year," the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association's "Most Courageous Athlete," the NFL Players Association's "Hero of the Year" and the NFL "Justice Byron 'Whizzer' White Award," and played in the Pro Bowl. In 1997, he became the 20th player inducted into the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame.
Today, Rolf is a successful businessman in the San Diego community, an author, TV personality and frequent motivational speaker for companies across the country. Married with four children, Rolf volunteers his time for numerous organizations, including the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, San Diego Zoo, Scripps Hospital, United Way, San Diego Chargers and the San Diego Blood Bank.

If you are a fan of science fiction or horror films then chances are you are also a fan of Alan Howarth. He is the man responsible for making the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end and your blood race swiftly through your veins.

Feeling the Sounds of Alan Howarth
Alan Howarth is a genius of sound. He can take the ordinary and turn it into so much more. The sounds of metal on cement when manipulated in just the right ways can assault your senses. He has worked on such classic films as: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Halloween II (1981) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Poltergeist (1982), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), Gremlins (1984), The Lost Empire (1985), Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), Halloween 5 (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Back to the Future Part III (1990), Total Recall (1990), RoboCop 2 (1990), Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), Army of Darkness (1992), Dracula (1992), The Mask (1994), Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Dreamer (2000) and The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008). These are just some of his more familiar films. He has also created sound effects and/or composed music for numerous other films, television shows, ads and even a music video or two.
Since his childhood in New Jersey, Alan Howarth has been interested in music. He began his exploration of sound at age five with everyone's favorite instrument, the accordion. At around twelve Alan decided he'd had enough of the polka and began playing the saxophone instead. During his freshman year of High School Alan and his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio. It was during this portion of his adolescence that he was introduced to rock 'n' roll and like the rest of the world, swept away with Beatlemania. The music of this era got Alan interested in playing the guitar and the bass guitar. Like most adolescent boys of the 60's and 70's, Alan was in a few rock'n'roll garage bands around his hometown area. It was this rock'n'roll experience that got Alan deeper into the music scene and introduced him to electronic instruments. After getting a job as a keyboard technician touring with New York jazz fusion band Weather Report, Alan ended up in Los Angeles. After the move, the band went into a long "studio" period that left touring duties sparse. This was when he landed his first effects job on the Star Trek motion picture. Alan auditioned with tapes he had made showcasing what he imagined the Enterprise engines would sound like. He imagined right. That audition propelled Alan Howarth out of the music industry and into the movie industry.
On his first film Alan created the special sound effects used for the Warp Drive, Enterprise engines, transporters, lasers, etc. Alan originated his niche; he had found a career in which he could create sounds that didn't exist in true life, objects straight out of his imagination. Alan began working with an instrument known as Prophet 5. It was the first polyphonic programmable synthesizer. He was one of the first sound effects artists to be using this new equipment. This coupled with the creativity he possessed to create impeccable sci-fi sound led Alan to involvement in future projects such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Poltergeist. These movies helped to cement his name as one of the top sound effects designers in Hollywood.
Alan was hired to do the special sound effects on John Carpenter's film Escape From New York. Carpenter was also looking for someone new to do his musical scores with. John started out as the composer but as their friendship and partnership flourished they became a solid unit creating some of the most memorable movie scores produced. All you need is for the "MUSIC" to play and you know exactly which movie is on the screen. The effects sounds allude to the coming horror without giving it away. Your heart rate quickens at the exact moment needed, the result is the jump everyone loves, when the assault comes. This duo has created the sound for numerous movies that can be found in most households across the world.
Alan Howarth is a master of giving life to images. What would the Enterprise be without the sound of its warp drive? Would Michael Myers be as terrifying if we couldn't hear the moment of attack? Would we even know there was a girl lost in another dimension in Poltergeist if it weren't for the inventive sounds of Alan Howarth. What would movies today be without their legendary sound? Would we still be talking about them the next day?

Check Fraud
What is check fraud?
Check fraud is the manipulation and illegal use of checks, and it is one of the largest challenges facing businesses and financial institutions today. With the advancement of computer technology, it is increasingly easy for criminals to manipulate checks. A significant amount of check fraud is due to counterfeiting through desktop publishing and copying to create or duplicate an actual financial document. Another method of check fraud is chemical alteration, which consists of removing some or all of the information and manipulating it to the benefit of the criminal. Victims include financial institutions, businesses that accept and issue checks, and consumers. In most cases, check fraud begins with the theft of a financial document. The most common theft methods are stealing blank checks from a home or vehicle during a burglary, searching for canceled or old checks in the garbage, and removing a check from a mailbox.
Check Fraud Prevention Techniques
- Never keep your bank statements, checks, deposit slips, debit cards, or credit cards in an unsecured place, especially not out in the open at home or at your place of business.
- Create a habit of locking your financial information away when not being utilized.
- Be sure to shred all financial documents before throwing them away.
- Consider other electronic methods (ACH or wire transfer) to make payments to reduce the number of checks you have in circulation and to help reduce potential check fraud exposure.
- When closing an account, be certain to destroy any unused checks and deposit slips and keep the old records secured.
- Purchase your check stock from our approved vendor to ensure quality of your check stock. Consider adding a unique quality to the checks, which may increase the level of difficulty in duplicating the checks.

Landing Your Dream Job

Posted: January 7, 2009, from the January 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 3
You may also be asked why you left former jobs, why you want to work for that particular spa and whether you are aware of the history of that business. Know your résumé inside and out, and be prepared with factual stories in order to reinforce what is listed on your résumé. Ask someone to do a mock interview with you, or practice responses in front of a mirror. You may feel silly, but you will be better prepared for an actual interview if you do this.
At the end of the interview, when asked if you have any questions, say yes. Try to think of at least one or two questions that you can ask, which will make you seem interested. Questions may include "What qualities are you looking for in an employee?" or "Is there room for growth in this position?" Before you leave the interview, inquire about the time line for filling the position, and find out when you should expect to hear back.
Send a personalized, handwritten thank-you note that day. An alternative to this would be to e-mail a thank-you note. Do not bring up rate of compensation, benefits or time off during an interview—save these questions for when you are offered a position. However, you should be prepared to answer questions about these things if the interviewer asks them.
Be professional
It can be difficult to find a great job, but preparation will pay off. Remember, it is crucial to come across as a professional at all times. Exude confidence and keep trying until you have succeeded.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (KJV)
CONFESSION: The Son of righteousness has arisen, having conquered sickness and Satan. There is healing in His wings. That healing is flowing into me now by His Word. I am trusting beneath His healing wings.
Matthew 8:2-3
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (KJV)
CONFESSION: God wants me well. Healing is the will of God. According to Philippians 2:13, God is at work in me right now to will and to do His good pleasure. Healing is at work in me.
Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.(KJV)
CONFESSION: He Himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. He carried away my sicknesses. He took them away and removed them. Disease is not mine – Healing is mine. I refuse to bear what Jesus bore for me. I refuse to take what He took for me. Satan, you cannot put disease on me, for Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. I refuse to accept sickness. I will not tolerate sickness. Sickness and diseases are totally unacceptable. I refuse to accept them. Jesus bore them, so I refuse to have them!

Angie's list sent out a coupon from an A rated local licensed electrician:
$849 - This deal includes: All new panel
Product: Siemens QP panel 100 AMP 30 space and SURGE protector! Upgrade to 200 AMP panel for an additional $200 - paid at time of service. The Fine Print
I am certain we will fall into the category of "additional charges for unforseen circumstances". And we also need to have some GFCIs added, some wiring run for the new kitchen lights and range, a couple ceiling fans and so forth. The house is a 1967 ranch, POs took good care of it but it is sorely in need of updating. Oh, and it has aluminum wiring so we will have them do the connectors too. But anyway, does the panel swap out seem like a good price? Our current panel is in good condition but there are no empty spaces for the new stuff so we need a new panel anyway. Thanks! |

The Coolness Factor
Age among librarians used to be fairly easy to determine, but no longer in our era of nips, tucks, Botox, and hair coloring. You can't just come out and ask someone his or her age. We all know that in today's world such a question is not only impolite but possibly even discriminatory.
My suggestion is that if you're really curious, for whatever reason, about how old a librarian is, the safest and most effective approach is to start talking about obsolete library resources. A good icebreaker might be something like this: "Weren't phonograph records the biggest pain to process and maintain? No patron ever scratched an LP; it was always the patron who borrowed it immediately before who did the damage."
If the answer comes back "What's an LP?" the librarian you're talking to is not nearly as old as you surmised.
I'll admit it. I've been around the block a few times and my track record proves it; as a librarian I have dealt with an embarrassingly high number and wide diversity of obsolete resources. No, I never had to catalog a clay tablet, scroll, illuminated manuscript, or wax cylinder, but I have cataloged, processed, and lent out LPs, reel-to-reel tapes, eight-tracks, audiocassettes, 16 millimeter films, 8 mm films, Super 8 mm film loops, Betamax tapes, and VHS tapes.
That's a lot of obsolescence. Why did all these things become obsolete? Basically there were six factors involved: usability, quality of presentation, durability, ease of storage, cost, and coolness.
Reel-to-reel tapes delivered a wonderful sound and were the audio medium of choice by cool people, but they were a pain to thread, splice, and play. LPs had cool album covers, sounded okay, and were easy to play—but they scratched easily. Sixteen millimeter films projected sharply on a big screen but they were a pain to thread, the lamps would fizz out at the film's climax, they broke easily, and they were very expensive. Eight-tracks were okay to boogie to in the car, but the tapes stretched, the sound was good only at high decibels, and they became very uncool in a very short time. Cassette tapes were compact, easy to use but had an annoying background hiss and a zero coolness factor. VHS tapes were easy to use, gave a good picture, and were reasonably priced, but were superseded in quality and compactness by DVDs and then Blu-ray.
Some obsolete resources made brief comebacks because of the coolness factor. For instance, LPs were popular for a while because of the movie High Fidelity, and vintage 1950s jazz music on reel-to-reel tapes is still coveted by bebop fans. But of the six factors listed above, coolness is also the most fleeting. It never lasts. Remember the Palm pilot?
Which brings us to the old curmudgeon itself, the glue-and-paper book. How does the traditional book hold up against the six endurance factors? No, it's not nearly as cool as the new and improved e-readers, but it is still easier to use. Cost? It depends on the title, the publisher, and the e-reader. Storability? The e-reader wins hands down. Quality? That depends on one's taste. The e-reader has the advantage of backlit pages and scalable print. Durability? Glue and paper lasts longer than electrons, especially when they are programmed to dissipate after 26 circulations.
I notice that the ALA Annual Conference is being held in Las Vegas in two years. As a gambling man I'll bet you right now that you'd be better off staking glue and paper as the reading medium of choice in 2014 than by taking a long shot on the e-reader.
Beyond that, who knows?

A friend gave me this recipe and I really love it. There are no measurements of ingredients...add as little or as much as you think you'd like. It's better served at room temp.
1 Box of Olive Oil/Pine Nuts Couscous, cooked and cooled to room temp.
Toss the ingredients with the cooked couscous with just a little olive oil and serve on a bed of mixed greens. This is a very refreshing and colorful salad. Donna |

Chris McMillan + Michelle Williams = Pixie Perfection
It's my theory that your hair will always look its best a week after getting a good cut. And Michelle Williams proves my point perfectly. Stylist Chris McMillan--who has been rather busy the last few weeks--trimmed Williams' hair last week, which made her Oscars' prep quick and easy (so
quick and easy that he even had time to do Marisa Tomei).
McMillan applied Kerastase mousse, then waited for Williams' makeup to be done. After that, he rubbed Murray's Pomade into his hands, wiped the product off, and applied just the remaining residue to her ends. Perhaps that's why she seemed so heavenly, as if she were lifted down on a cloud--because she didn't sit in hair and makeup for five hours! Of course, that gorgeous Chanel gown didn't hurt either...

ICE!!! I still have flowers blooming. I'm glad you stayed home today George. |
The only flowers blooming here are the ever-durable snapdragons. No one told them they were expected to fade away during our summers, so they have bloomed non-stop since early spring. Neighbor has pansies, finally perking up. Ice. Ice on sidewalks. Slipping across roads. Dripping from the roof. Encasing trees from branch to twig. I know it's coming, but I never quite believe it until I see the world glazed. One of the biggest joys of retirement: never, ever again having to scrape all the car windows, slip down slickety walks, or refrain from swearing at the newest Northerner driver who is discovering that our local "snow" is most often either hiding under or over ice - most of those good folks making the discovery as they slide into a ditch or a nearby car. Here's to ice outside, and here's to a cup of hot chocolate inside. |

Some Of Our Treatment Modalities
Acupuncture is a safe, painless, and effective form of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Disposable, ultra-thin needles are applied to highly specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system to release important chemicals in the brain. The improved energy balance provokes the body's natural healing abilities to relieve many physical ailments and to promote physical and emotional well being.
Relaxation techniques work to suppress the stress response by activating the relaxation response. Engaging the relaxation response decreases stress, promotes memory improvements, increases concentration, decreases anxiety, and improves self-concept. The benefit of this technique is its portability. It can be used anywhere and anytime.
Tai Chi is an ancient martial art practiced by millions worldwide. Tai Chi uses breathing and a series of slow, controlled movements involving the entire body to achieve successful treatment. Benefits include stress reduction, improved balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular efficiency.

well, ive always thought that i was lesbian...ive never had crushes on the opposite sex...until now.
not only is he a male, not only is he over 25, hes my chemistry teacher!
hes sexy, handsome, knows how to make me smile and laugh and he is so intelligent...thats a real turn on for me.
his dark gray eyes are so mysterious and when i look into them (as discreetly as possible) i feel my insides turning into mush...
i remember a couple weeks after school started, i had to miss school to go to the hospital (normal procedure for me) and i missed a test. so, like i would norma.lly do is stay after school to take it.
i walk into the room after fourth block (last block of the day) and walk in...he's drinking apple cider from a gallon container! i just started busting out laughing and hten he started to laugh...i love his laugh and his face when he laughs too...hes so beautiful...
so i stay after school with him and i start to take hte test in teh front row, but i feel like i cant concentrate because he and i are the only ones in the room...
he continues eating while i take my test and he starts to put on some music...salsa to be exact. i just started to giggle again because...its just so random!
while im taking the test, he asks what kinda music od you like? and i just replied, well i like the beatles. so his eyes light up and he clicks two things on the comp and hes got the beatles playing.
now we are talking about music so much and life in general, cracking jokes and just laughing out loud like we were just buddies....
i hand in the test when im done...knowing that i messed up a couple problems, but mostly due to the fact that i was talking to him the whole time!!!! actually, my score was a 68% i felt horrible when i got the grade back but at the end of the first marking period (ended today) i have an a- yay!!!
anyways...somehow we got onto the topic of me playing the piano (ive been playing the piano for 11 years) and i asked him if he knows any instruments. he said no so i offered to teach him how to read music...and he said yes!
so i went home, found one of my composing (blank sheet/staff paper) books and started writing him lessons...
i made them witty and funny and also made them a little on the elementary side...
the day after i went back into school and handed it to him and he smiled, looked at the cover... "Mr.*&@!_#'s Little Book of Musical Instruction" and i wrote in small letters..."or evil...heh heh" and drew a devil.
he grinned and told me he'd hand back his assignment next class.
so the next day taht i stayed after school for help whne he was done helping me he started to ask me questions about music and stuff like that.
i grabbed a seat right next to him at his desk and showed him what he got right and wrong...after a while he still didnt understand time signatures...i thought it was so cute!! he did understand it though when i made comparisons with chemistry...
i guess ive been a little suggestive with him...and i think he can tell that ive got a crush on him.
its jsut that i feel so happy when im around him.
i think about him all the time and i know its not realistic but i just wish we could be together...even though i know it would never happen...:-(
what i dont understand is why i have such an obsesesion about him!!
do you guys think that my bipolar disorder might have something to do with it?
~wanting the forbidden fruit...
i totally understand what you're going thru.
a few years ago, i was in love with one of my teachers. what happened is kind of complicated... so i wrote about the experience in my journal. here's the link:
good luck with everything, hun : )
thanks for reading my post!
wow...i didnt know college kids were forbidden from dating their professors...i thought it was just taboo.
im a hs student so it is different.
especially since there is a 12 yr age diff.
one thing that i love when i hang out with the teacher i have a crush on is that i feel like we are friends, not just teacher/student.
one day in class it was near the end of the block so everyone isjust hangin out and chatting.
i wanted to get his attention to ask a question so i called out 'mr.@$%^!!' and he answered, 'yes madam?' and i felt my cheeks flushed and he smiled one of those big smiles that made me melt inside...
then i blurted out that i forgot my question and he said that i could just ask wehn i remembered.
its just the little things taht he says to me that make me feel soooo good inside...
i see from your story that it is an emotional rollar coaster to have a crush on a teacher...but right now i dont care. i feel giddy when i see him in the hallway and so warm when i raise my hand in class and he smiles and says 'yes?'
i know you hear me...i can taste it in your tears
28:06:42:12...the tangent universe awaits...
Oof, that sounds icky and confusing... I can't offer you much advice, except what Ruby said in her journal--if you're crushing and you want to get over it, don't keep it all bottled up. Talk about it and make it a normal thing, and eventually it does go away. Good luck!
Megan: "Cheers are supposed to be simple, make people feel good."

-But I'm a Cheerleader
hmm...maybe I can relate. I am taking a class right now with an AWESOME! Professor. He identifies as male (uses male pronouns, has a traditionally male name and has had chest surgery to remove his former breasts) and I'm a lesbian, never have had crushes on guys in all my 25 years. But this guy is just awesome! and cute! and super smart! and funny! and genuine! and excited about teaching! and all kinds of other stuff that makes me like him even more. BUT, I think it may just be an academic crush, like an idolization of an academic hero. perhaps. because I can't really picture doing anything sexual or even kissing him. I just really want to be his friend maybe. i don't know.
cant relate, ive always thought that having crushes on teachers was so...gross(sorry) because there so much older, idk maybe its just me.
Ermmm...I think it may be a tad illegal, but who cares? after all, a hot guy will always be hot. And no one is 100% gay, or 100% straight, you know, so it's improbable, yet not impossible, that you like a guy.
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
To give you hope, my cousin is dating her old professor, now that she's done with the school.
So...If it lasts long enough, it might happen!
It's not too big of an age difference with them, though. You have a 9 years difference? That's a bit big. You never know, though. Love happens in funny places.
i have a crush on a reading teacher he is really cut his name is mr house and i like him and i dream about him every night taking care of me as a baby holding me in his arms feeding me a baby bottle of milk and put me in a crib in the nuresery room there is a changing table and crib and rocking chair and dresser and baby toys around the room and down stairs in the living room has a play pen and has baby food and baby bottle and a high chair and stroller and he put my baby blanket in with me and put my baby bottle of milk in with me and he kiss me goodnight and he turn off the lights and close the door and it was dark and he got in with me and put his arms around me and kiss me and tuck me in and put the baby blanket ove me and we both close our eyes and went to sleep and that night i was having a night mare and i woke up screaming and crying and he hard me and said wwhats the matter and i said i had a nightmare and he said what was it a bout its about me and you and you yell at me and i got in trouble and i set in time out and he said its just a night mare go back to sleep and so i did and
Sounds like he needs looser work pants.

I'm sorry if that was serious, but that made me laugh really hard. And then, Jeff, your reaction made me laugh even harder. That was way to funny, but I needed that. LOL.
And yes, I realize this is a 2+ year old post :P
What is difference between love, lust, and crush?
sex movie
I have a teacher crush at the moment. But I'm in a bit of a different situation because I'm in college and the teacher is a same sex crush and also she isn't that much older that me....I don't think so, anyways. Also, she isn't really my teacher, per say. She's more of a helper kind of thing.
Just let me gush for a moment because I need to.
I like her and it's very odd. I never thought I would like someone who's older and in a teacher-ish position. I never have before, but then again I didn't really know my sexuality until now. Okay, I think I may have had a slight crush on my 6th grade homeroom teacher helper. Oh, and on my 9th grade French class helper in High School, also. Both women, btw. I honestly didn't realize it until now, while thinking back, that I have had some crush-like scenarios in school. And what a theme. What does that even mean? Why have I had crushes on basically every teacher helper that I ever had? Is that weird?
Although, I'm not certain those were real crushes. I didn't seriously start to think I was gay until I was 17 and out of High School. So, maybe I just liked those women or admired them? Or else maybe I was gay and was having those feelings but didn't know how to recognize them as such. Because honestly I think what swung open the doors for me to recognize that I might be gay was my friend telling me that she used to be bisexual; then I preceded to look into myself and recognize that I had some of those attractions as well.
Sexuality in a whole is confusing....
I've had a bunch of teacher crushes and most of them faded but there were two (a cisman and ciswoman) a few years ago and both did not end well because they found out...
Teacher crushes are fun and harmless until they turn into something that society says shouldn't happen. You should definitely talk to someone about it though because it's really hard to keep it all bottled up.
Good luck!
A crush is one thing...going beyond that is a totally different ball game!
For one thing you are what...16??? and he is 28ish???? As the saying goes...16 will get you twenty...years in jail that is. It is totally normal to have a crush on a teacher...lord knows I had many in the past. However its another thing to go beyond just a crush and to do any type of dating or social seeing each other out of the school realm. If you two were to get serious ONE time and do something "Stupid" then he could be caught, put in jail, end his career of teaching, etc. All for ten minuets of pleasure with each other. Its not worth it....you would be responsible for all that pain for him, for sending him to jail and such...sure you think no one will find out. No one will know....but....read the paper,,,watch the TV news... about teachers having trysts with students. See what happens to them... If you truly care about him in any way.. you will not let it go any further then it has so far. Keep it totally on the up and up, or have another student in the room with you at the same time to assure your self that you can keep control of your emotions and he does too.
I am not saying that this is happening....I am only warning you that this COULD happen. Don't let it go any further then you have so far. No don't break off seeing him for lessons on music...thats not what I mean. Just do not do any thing "stupid" and have sex ,or date, that sort of thing. Is he single? If not he has a woman in his life. If not then you have two more years then you CAN date him. You have to be 18 and out of the school to do that. Then by all means GO for it!!!
Good luck and remember...YOU said its a "CRUSH"!!!
Genius is not a sign of intelligence, but rather
that of common sense. Humor is the best pain pill.
It was interesting reading this post because I've had about four or five major teacher crushes in my life, and all but one of those teachers were the opposite sex.
I'll echo oldfoxbob on this one though... the crush itself is innocent and harmless, but I wouldn't let it go any further.
sorry, commented on the wrong post, please ignore.
I can relate :) I am major crushing on this teacher who If I'm being honest (isn't even that good looking) he's known as a minger (ugly) in our school, but when he smiles and his eyes light up, and he shows his true happiness I fall so madly in love with him, he is NOT my teacher, he has never taught me in my whole life, he is just another teacher who works in our school, I'm not revealing his name or occupation for his safety though, he is quite a shy man and I am quite a shy girl but I am rather mature for my age and very traditional, I know he is not married and he is single so I wouldn't be commiting adultery or anything like that, just when we're talking and we have complete eye contact I forget he is a teacher and he's quite a bit older than myself and we just share some kind of connection, he's helped me out multiple times, when I'm crying he is the first on the scene, he always smiles at me when I'm near by and his feet are always pointed in my direction, his tone is sweet and sincere whilst talking to me, and when I catch him off guard he will just stop and stare into my eyes whilst his face turns bright red, bless him. About the age difference, I am 16 going on 17 he is 34 and yes that may be 17 years difference but that's the exact same age difference as my mum and her boyfriend so why couldn't it work, I'd never do anything to put his job on the line however, I couldn't do that to him, I just want his happiness, however I am leaving this following tuesday and I want to stay in touch with him...he is just the sweetest guy ever, he runs for cancer research but he lets others push him around and insult him, he just shrugs it off but I can see the hurt in his eyes, I know he hates to be alone and that's why he comes over to speak to me often, he's been in my dreams multiple times and he never leaves my thoughts, what should I do? oh yeah and he knows I'm going to prom, he got so surprised and now he's going lol, so should I just forget about him? or should I take this somewhere seeing as I am leaving? thank you for your time everyone x :)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Toby!
Facts about Toby
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Toby's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Toby reminds me of the dog in the movie "My Dog Skip" . He would make some pre-teen boy or girl a wonderful companion. He LOVES LOVES LOVES to play ball. If you don't have time to play with him, he will entertain himself by throwing a ball into the air and retrieving it over and over.
Toby is approx. 1 year old and fully grown at about 30 lbs. We truly are guessing as to his breed, but we do know that he's a wonderful little dog.
Toby was picked up as a stray around the Camp Verde area. The family that found him indicated they could not keep him as he was not a good fit with the farm chickens. He gets along well with other dogs but is sometimes hesitant as he was attacked once by a larger dog.
Toby is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. Toby's adoption donation is just $175 to cover his costs and to help his other doggie friends in the rescue. If you would like to meet Toby, please email us firstname.lastname@example.com or call 602-501-1844.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Toby, a Phoenix Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/German Shorthaired Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

My backwash pipe broke off today when i accidentally hit it with the lawnmower. I thought i would be able to unscrew the PVC piece from the valve but it is cemented in.
Any ideas how to get this out so i can fix? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I seriously doubt it was cemented. Cut two deep scores, about an inch apart, in the fitting, stopping just before the MPV's threads. Then, with a flat head screwdriver, chisel the one inch section towards the center. The fitting should break free. Scott |
Thanks. I may give that a try. The PVC is "cement glued" in. I can not get it to budge at all. I talked with the guy at my local pool store and he said worse case, I would need to purchase a new Valve. I was hoping that i would not have to do that. I'll try cutting it out. |
Should have written as "you couldn't thread it in that far". Scott |
Thanks poolguynj, it won't happen again. |
For what it's worth, I just did this this morning to one of my pumps. Scott |

Is shortsale benifits homeowners ?if yes wat are the ADVATAGES OF A SHORT SALE OVER LOAN MODIFICATION |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by pamghatten (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 12:46
In very simple terms: In a short sale, the house is sold for less than is owed to the bank. The bank has to agree to the amount it is sold for. Then the homeowner no longer has the house. A loan modification is when the bank agrees to modify the terms of the loan, lower the rate most likely, to make the home more affordable for the homeowner. The homeowner keeps the home and makes lower payments. Unfortunately, it has been documented that most(many?), modifications do not work and the homeowner ends up defaulting anyway... and loses the home. |
Couple questions... Can you make your current monthly mortgage payments? Do you owe more on your mortgage than the house would sell for right now? Is your interest rate on your current mortgage high by today's standards (7%+)? Do you have a steady job/income? Do you want to sell your home? |
- Posted by dave_donhoff (email@example.com) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 13:22
Hi McBrown, Pamghatten is *KINDA* right, but in a bit of a reverse fashion; Its not the 'loan modification' that doesn't work, its the borrowers that fail to keep the payment agreements the 2nd time. The 'loan modification' is just a resetting of terms, it doesn't *do* anything at all, so it can't succeed nor fail, it just sits there on paper. Here's the lowdown; Loan Mods let you remain and continue to own the home, but they are difficult and slow to get done, and there are many reasons for this; The rate of repeat borrower failure makes the banks resistent to even bother with them (they'd rather the home get sold so the relationship with the defaulting borrower simply goes away,) and modifying a loan frequently forfeits most (if not all) of the margin of profit that was originally part of the relationship that had the banking system incentivized to take the risk in the first place. STILL... if you are a homeowner in a state of financial desperation, and you have no remaining savings to draw down, and you have lost your income sources to make your full payments, then it is definitely better to ATTEMPT to get a loan modification before you downgrade to the next option... as it gets worse for you as you drop further down. In a shortsale you have to sell the home and leave. Your credit will reflect the shortsale, which would mean you won't qualify for government-sponsored mortgage financing for at least 3 years (unless the government changes the rules of the game, in which case all bets are off.) Unless the shortsale is properly negotiated, the amount of the loan that does not get repaid from the sale proceeds COULD become an unsecured judgment against you, which would mean you would have collectors and law firms chasing you potentially for decades (until you pay them, or declare bankruptcy... which again may or may not be a solution depending on how our government keeps or changes the rules of the game. NOTHING is off the table for "change" with the governments right now...) Without knowing more about your particular questions & concerns, I'll pause here... else I could ramble about this ongoingly. Luck! |

Mucho Gusto
Tempe, AZ, 85281, United States
Phoenix has many Mexican restaurants, but this one gets extra points for ambience, creativity, and affordability. It's a neighborhood hangout, but instead of vinyl booths and plastic tables, it favors dark wood and Diego Rivera prints. And the food stands out, with dishes like Oaxacan grilled chicken tamale wrapped in banana leaves and topped with a mole sauce. The machaca (slow-roasted beef) is also excellent—tender and juicier than you'll often find it. Plus, the twinkly lit patio is a great option in pleasant weather.
Insider Tip:
Tip: If you're feeling adventurous, try the sweet and nutty tamarind-flavored margarita.
