Gel fuel efficient and crackly, but hard to open I bought a case from Overstock which was a good value. The cans are very difficult to open. I ordered a paint can open which I hope will help. I also bought a can snuffer to make it easier to put out. So far each can has lasted me 3 hours. I haven't noticed any smell, but it does get a little smokey at the bottom of the can. The directions say to use tongs and the lid to put out the flame, but I found that awkward inside my fireplace. I hope the snuffer helps.

Love these things These cans do put off some significant heat after they get going...and they do provide the illusion of a real fire (complete with the odd crackle here and there). Some of the cans were dented and they have the same type of seal found on paint cans, so they can be tricky to open if you don't have the right tools handy to do so. Either way...they are a great deal for my wife and I and we enjoy the ambiance and warmth they lend to our sunroom.

Convenient But Expensive Using these FireGlo Fuel cans with a gel fuel Fireplace is extremely convenient. because the upfront costs are so low. However, if you live in colder climates like up here in the Northeast, the fuel can solution gets pricey. During the winter, I like to spark up the fire in order to warm up the house quickly. The forced air we have takes a little while to bring up the temperature but running the gel fireplace quickens the process. The cans generally don't produce a smell UNTIL they get to the end of the can. Then they generally produce a propane-like smell. The cans last about 2 hours to 2 3/4 hours. So burning the fireplace all day is usually not an option because it would be to costly. I normally only use the gel fuel when there is a chill in the air I want to knock out quickly or on special occasions. I have also noticed a darkening of our olive-colored paint and ceiling above our wall-mounted gel fireplace. The cans do provide a good amount of heat and they allow me to warm up the (part of the) house quicker than just using our forced-air heat. I also enjoy the crackling sound produced by the bubbles in the can. It actually sounds better than a real fire. Overall, the cans produce a good amount of heat and ambiance but they are very expensive to use often or for long periods of time.

I don't understand I don't understand how so many people gave this glowing reviews. I just set up everything for my wife (xmas present) in the bedroom and the smell that radiated was chemically'. The gel itself smelled like strong alcohol which was fine, but when activated for 5 minutes, the room became covered in this awful chemical smell. It was unbearable and terrifying in a sense. I tried googling if this was normal or harmful but can't find an answer. We ended up capping the can and I am now searching for an electric fireplace. The one we picked is convertible so hopefully we can just find the proper insert because I dont plan on spending our nights fearing for the worst for a little atmosphere. That said, I have 23 unused cans if anyone would like them.

interesting product The canisters emit an initial odor that is unpleasnt and repeat this again much more strongly as they are burning down to the end. The cans do not last as long as I had thought they would. You get about 2 to 2 and half hours max out of them. The plus is they really do produce a large and interesting flame pattern like a real fireplace would and it snaps and crackles while burning like real wood.

Good Product/Terrible Burnout This product gives off heat and has a nice appearance, which is good. But, the downside to this is when you out the fuel fire. A nasty burning alcohol smell comes from the smoke. This causes a lot of work for me because my smoke alarm goes off and I have to end up opening the window for a while. Then I have to remind myself to close it. For an outdoor makeshift fireplace, this works. For indoors, not so much.

Hope you want to paint your home! I was pleased with the amount of heat the cans gave off. We dropped down from 3 cans to 1 can. Crackle and flame are nice. Now for the down side...emits a heavy chemical smell when it burns down to the end. Who knows what we're breathing in. The soot discolored the white fireplace, walls and nearly everything in the room. We need to paint in the spring. Looking for an alternative.

Questions & Answers
Thank you for contacting us nanawu. If you choose not to burn the entire can, simply use a pair of long tongs and put the lid back on the can to extinguish the flames, when you are ready to use it again shake the can up remove the lid and relight it. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I use these all the time and yes have put the lid back on before it completely burns out -
to put the flame out, I use the candle holders that comes with my portable fireplace.
Yes, you can put the fire out carefully by replace the cap. However, the next day stir it up before lighting
can fireglo brand and real flame gel brand both be used in all gel fireplaces if we prefer one over the otheraslong as the can sizes are the same?
Thank you for contacting us artieheat1. You can choose whichever brand you like the best. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I have used both and they seem the same, as far as flame, smell and burn time. I prefer the Fireglo only because the label is removed so I don't have to worry about forgetting to take it off, which I did once and almost started a fire.
I'd love to build a fireplace surround around this; do you have any recommendations?
Hello bunny628, we suggest that you consult a professional. Thank you for shopping with us.
How tall are the cans? I need the dimensions.
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with the question about the FireGlo Fuel (24 Cans). The dimensions of the 13 ounce cans are 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. Thank you for the question and thank you for shopping Overstock.com.
Can this be used in a wood-burning fireplace, and a wood-burning outdoor fire pit.
Hi resheed, no, these are not recommended for a wood-burning fireplace or a wood-burning outdoor fire pit. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps!
I have never tried that before but I wouldn't think you would use other than the wall or standing free at home.
I have used them in a wood fire pit with lava rocks or fake fireplace pieces that look like wood. I also use them in a wall fireplace inside the house. The label state that no soot residue. This is not true. The gel does give off soot because I clean the wall fireplace and there is plenty of soot.
They are nearly impossible to open. Is ther some secret to opening?!!
Removing the labels from the Fireglo cans is difficult and time consuming. Before using the gel, you have to allocate several minutes per can to peel the labels off. The glue used is strong and the paper is thin. This causes the paper to constantly tear, and to leave paper residue all over the can.
Purchase the opener. I had the same problem, but the opener makes it so much easier!
I just keep a paint can opener with them. That makes them very easy to open
Seriously??? Ever open a can of paint? How about a flathead screwdriver....
Can this fire gel be used for a ventless indoor fireplace?
Yes this is perfect for indoor and outdoor use.
yes, that is what we use it for.
I have a built in gas fireplace. Can I purchase the Real Flame 18" convert to gel log set for $137.99 and use it with the real flame or fire glo fuel cans, instead of using the regular gas logs and fuel?
Yes, you can use the convert to gel logset in any gas fireplace. You?ll only need to turn off the gas line to the fireplace. Also, the manufacturer suggests to use Real Flame Gel Fuel with Real Flame products because other fuels have not been tested in their fireplaces.
Does this product have to be used with a gel fuel fireplace?
Yes, these cans were designed for use in a gel fuel fireplace.
what is the difference between the gel cans and bio ethanol gas?
This product is an alcohol-based gel fuel.

Comment: Re:Steam to extract oil that shouldn't be... (Score 1) 82
Well I didn't want to write that much, obviously I can't just throw out some ill connected thoughts though.
Ultimately I agree with you that the project in question will mainly aid extraction. It will be used to protect the investment in existing infrastructure way before we could hope for transitioning towards a world where oil is only used for production of plastics and transportation is achieved through technologies with a lower impact.
While I see your point of not burning fossil fuels you should offer some credible way out of the problem, our existence is based on that probably just as much as on a stable climate. Also note that if you stop the flow of oil today you will feel the effects within half a year maybe at most in society, whereas the climate gives you a 40 year lag. There is no way you get this past people. I could write more but I'm incredibly tired of it.

Karma, Jnana and Bhakti are the paths of spiritual progress, says Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.
The goal in all these is liberation from bondage. All these are equally important and necessary in the process, but when discussing them individually, the natural tendency is to stress their distinctive supremacy, pointed out Swami Tejomayananda in a discourse.
Karma lays emphasis on practice and its absolute necessity as a spiritual discipline; but mere practice alone is inadequate in this path. It has to lead to knowledge and at a still higher level it leads to meditation (dyana). Mechanical spiritual practice is good but with knowledge it is better; and more so when practised with knowledge and meditation.
The cumulative effect of all three leads to renunciation from which point alone liberation is attainable. The practice of sarva karma phala tyaga is hence celebrated as a practical and effective strategy for spiritual aspirants.
Absorption of mind in that knowledge is not total if anxiety for the fruit of action predominates. A cricket player on the brink of a century might fail his target out of anxiety which causes drop in concentration. The last lap of a journey creates anxiety and restlessness with respect to the destination to be reached. This disquiet is absent when the former is keen on the game alone and the traveller on the journey alone.
Likewise, if one dedicates the fruits of all actions to God, there is no anxiety about results and one is able to concentrate on the task on hand. In this state, only peace reigns. In this sense, renunciation of the fruits of action becomes devotion to God and Krishna holds such a Bhakta close to His heart.
Devotion expects only to be on the feet of God and seeks no other personal gain. This unselfish love is a noble trait as is seen in the attitude of a patriot or in a mother's love.
Prahlada is asked by God to ask for boons. Prahlada's love is so pure that he cannot see love as a business. How could he ask God for boons when he is filled with devotion to Him?
He prays to God: "Let no desire enter my mind. This is what I ask of you."

Cameras roll as driver runs over diesel pump twice
POSTED: Monday, April 2, 2012 - 11:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, April 2, 2012 - 11:04pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Authorities are not sure if a motorist was unhappy about gas prices, or if it was a death wish!
A gas station in stamping ground, Kentucky had to replace one of its diesel pumps after someone ran over it last week. Not once but twice.
Security cameras caught the incident on tape.
The truck first appears around 2:30 Tuesday morning.
If you didn't know any better, you might think the guy behind the wheel had gotten sleepy, maybe was intoxicated. But that theory seemed less likely when 13 minutes later the same truck appears on camera again running over the same diesel pump. Only this time from a different direction.
Makes you wonder... why?

Serve and volley players will appreciate this, along with superior touch and precision provided by the C10 Pro's more flexible upper hoop.

text: If you are going to visit Lopburi, which is known as Monkey Town, be careful! Monkeys roam around the town freely, getting up to all sorts of mischief! The worst affected place is the temple of Prang Sam Yot, where aggressive monkeys rule the place. We saw some people being attacked, which is not much fun since rabies is really prevalent in Thailand. We decided to visit the temple at midday, since we figured the monkeys might be too hot to bother us. And it worked! Hardly any monkeys gave us real trouble although some tried, but they were mostly young ones. We hanged around for a while taking photos in turns, watching each other's back. It was incredibly hot, but worth it to see the place in relative peace. By the time we left, the monkeys were getting active again and moving around in large menacing packs, no kidding!

The patents don't lie for a change, and a recent interview with co-CEO Jim Balsillie would indicate that a touchscreen is in RIM's potential future. It's supposedly going to be a dual-mode device (EV-DO rev. C, and HSPA) and launching internationally, exclusively on Verizon and Vodafone. Now, this thing is still in its extremely early stages, so plenty can change, but still an exciting prospect, especially considering BG is probably at WES talking to someone who knows a thing or two about the project.

Healthy Living On The Coast Of Sanibel Island
Posted by: | CommentsIf the Sanibel SEA LIFE could have talked last evening at low tide, they probably would have been chatting it up about how lovely the evening was and how healthy they were feeling…. just like us.
This LINED STARFISH was raisin' the roof!
The live LETTERED OLIVES were doin' the locomotion…
The live AUGERS were gettin' jiggy with it…
This live BABY'S EAR was jivin' and slimin'…
The live FIGHTING CONCHS were putting' up their dukes…
There were hundreds of HERMIT CRABS running around claiming the best shells for their residences.
We even saw quite a few SHARK'S EYE EGG COLLARS brimming with little tiny eggs…
We even saw lots of ONION SEA ANEMONES flowering in the tidal pools…
Hmmmm….I wonder why they call it an "ONION" SEA ANEMONE … heehee
The colors of the night were amazing! This clump of SEA SPONGE was the most brilliant color purple…
A little higher on the beach, I saw that Leah from Georgia found a honey hole of wonderful minis which included lots of WENTLETRAPS.
Leah and her husband Matt were vacationing on Sanibel to celebrate Matt's 40th birthday.
Finding a few beautiful shells to take home was just icing on the cake. Happy Birthday Matt!
The weather was perfect, the beach was teeming with live creatures and each breath of fresh, salty air made exploring the tidal pools heaven on earth.
Live Baby's Ear Seashell Trail Video
Posted by: | CommentsI've learned to look for this BABY'S EAR trail at low tide. They look like little dough patties since the mollusk surrounds the shell instead of hiding in it. It is very slimey! Check out this video.
Follow the Yellow Shell Trail
Posted by: | CommentsInstead of following the yellow brick road, Julie is following the track of a live yellow BABY EAR at low tide. She sees the path on the sand bar and then follows the trail, digs in the sand and gently pulls up the yellowish mollusk. Are you ready to see what they look like? This is the first time I've ever seen a live one in person! Ready? Here you go…..
Really…this isn't a photo of a handmade ravioli or smooched ball of wet dough. It's a baby ear mollusk that practically surrounds it's whole shell…..and it's very slimy!
I saw Leigh and her niece and nephew, Julie and Jack (Ft lauderdale), having the best time playing out on the sand bar in front of Holiday Inn on Sanibel. They were digging around, giggling and running back and forth. I had to see what all of the fuss was about. They also found live SHARK'S EYES and SEA ANEMONES.
On the right hand side of the PEN SHELL is the egg casing collar for more baby shark eyes. It was Mother Nature's huge touch tank out there last night. Now meet Leigh's nephew, Jack. He loves the sea anemones.
Leigh and her family come to Sanibel a lot – every time the tide is really low. Of course, after they are done looking and learning about the mollusks and sea life they find, they gently put them back where they found them.

My close friends consider me as a modest, quiet, and reliable person I guess it's true. Some people or even situations have awakened different aspects of my character mostly with a positive outcome. I have learned a lot from chess, it has given me personal growth from my defeats. I have overcome many difficult situations in my life so this aspect of my personality makes me a hard fighter even in chess. Sometimes I have chess fever other times I don't even want to see the pieces nor books, but I'll never abandon it because it's become an essential part of me. My weakness in chess are women! They make me blunder!

Black History month was launched locally with an evening event at the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives last Wednesday, Feb. 26.
When manager Kimiko Hawkes saw a YouTube video of two Coast performers giving TED talks, she was amazed at their abilities. She quickly invited Valerie Mason-John and Bertha Clark (also known as Adelene da soul poet) to speak at the museum.
Mason-John, recently returned from a Black History presentation in Nova Scotia, kicked off with a powerful monologue as if spoken by a newly freed slave of the 18th century. She also relaunched her award-winning book Borrowed Body, now available in its North American edition.
Jean Pierre Makosso and Yvy Bouti Makosso also presented.
All the performers at the museum event were included in A Tribute to Mandela that gave two shows at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons last weekend.
Makosso adapted several of South African leader Nelson Mandela's speeches, beginning with his words from prison where he was incarcerated for 26 years. Apparently Mandela liked to box, and Makosso used this fighting symbolism to represent the ongoing struggle of the man and of the African National Congress on their path to freedom. The show included energetic African dancing and song.
Mason-John and Clark narrated the historical background while local actors played minor roles to bring the Mandela story to life. The years of hardship turned to celebration as the performers wished an aging Mandela a happy 95th birthday. Celebrity look-alikes from Michael Jackson to the Dalai Lama arrived on stage to give their tribute to the man. The audience joined in the party and danced to the music of a youthful band, Mama's Boys.

Hi my name is Geri..My husband has been diagnos with NSC Squamous carcinoma along with Bronchoaveolar carcinoma and Carcinoid Tumorlet. Has anyone else had the diagnosis? He had half his Left lung removed and they found the BAC on the margin of the lung that was removed. He has stage ll a (2) N1 MO and Stage 1 NO MO. What does that bring for the furture with cancer in margin of resection??
Posted on March 14, 2011 at 3:18pm — 2 Comments
Hi Geri
No - I did not have any difficulty with my vocal cords. The nerves to the vocal cords run down through the mediastinum - they are called the recurrent laryngeal nerves (one for each side). They are fine threads and can be damaged during thoracic surgery. If stretched the injury may clear - if more trauma is the problem the nerve may not improve. Twelve weeks is long - I would have thought there would be some improvement by now if the nerve was just stretched.
I agree with the suggestion of a speech therapist. Unfortunately, whenever one has serious surgery such as this there are possible side effects. What did the surgeon say - did the surgeon say that the cause was due to injury to the involved nerves?
May I make a suggestion? Choose your battles - right now focus energy on the chemo - that will require all of your strength and definitely all of your husband's strength.I know the vocal cord problem is a real problem - and I know that you are both in a state of confusion (we all are when facing this terrible disease). You are both in my prayers.
Best and God Bless!
Hi Geri
My cell type is adenocarcinoma with BAC - this is also a NSCLC (squamous, adenocarcinoma, and large cell are all Non-small cell lung cancers).
My initial treatment was partial lobectomy - I was a stage IA. When it recurred in my mediastinum (IIIA) I was treated with:
Carboplatin/paclitaxel for 12 weeks
surgery with resection of remainder of right upper lobe, hilar node dissection, and mediastinal node dissection.
followed by - Cisplatin and radiation for 8 weeks.
It sounds like your husband has 2 types? with the 2 different staging numbers - one is a II and the other is I...
Here is a website that talks about BAC
You should be able to ask your husband's doctor (or PA or NP) what the different cell types mean and what the different staging numbers mean....
The one thing I wish to say is no matter what kind of prognosis you are given - remember that there are many of us who are surviving and winning this battle.New treatments are discovered all of the time!
God Bless!

Al Fresco Holidays is an award-winning camping and mobile home operator providing holidays at destinations in France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Austria and the Netherlands.
The operator specialises in family camping holidays, and asked PushON and Brazen PR to deliver a digital marketing strategy to increase brand presence and sales via Al Fresco's website.
Al Fresco Holidays aim to make holidays personal by capitalising on the fact consumers spend more time choosing their holidays than five years previous. To do this, they needed to engage consumers considering making a purchase, helping them find the right resort, facilities and attractions for their needs.
Al Fresco's recognition in search engines and in the blogosphere was low in comparison to other, more established international competitors. These companies had been competing in the online space for many years and have dominated search rankings. They also had greater reach as they are part of the same group and have a higher number of parks to sell.
The business had a very limited usage of social media with no substantial presence on any key social network. Online mentions of the brand were also limited with little online interaction being had with its existing customer base. There was also limited blog coverage on the business and this not only had an impact on the brand visibility, but also reduced the volume of inbound links that are naturally acquired as a result of PR activity.
What's more, there had been little SEO taking place and Al Fresco's highest converting keywords were for brand specific key terms and as a result the majority of where Al Fresco Holiday's traffic was coming from.
The business needed to draw more business from long or short tail keywords. The changing nature of the sector meant it was an area Al Fresco Holidays needed to quickly become established in. This fundamental need would drive the strategy forward, with PushON needing to position the company as a family friendly holiday operator online.
Other objectives included:
- Tapping into the personalised way consumers use search and social media to research their holidays
- Increase sales by 20%
- Maximise search engine visibility ahead of the peak holiday booking period of January and February, by achieving page one search visibility for 90% of the companies park locations
- Increased sales during this key period
- Maximise visibility during the down season
- Tightly integrate online and offline marketing initiatives to drive increased sales
- Increase the number of affiliates by 20%
- Increase brand awareness online by 20%
Before commencing the campaign, PushON undertook a technical assessment of the website to ensure it was built to web standards and maximising user conversion.
Then the SEO strategy was put in place. A strategic site map was created to maximise the amount of search traffic based around Al Fresco's resort locations and offering.
Park specific terms were then targeted. This was a key part of the campaign as many other operators have allocations on the same parks, so it was very important that Al Fresco competed for a share those search these terms.
A PR, social media strategy which used media relations, Facebook, Twitter and a blog was put in place to help personalise Al Fresco's brand presence and drive customers to the website. These tactics all aided the business in competing for long tail keywords relating to all its holiday destinations and build links for SEO.
In addition to this activity, PushON worked with Brazen to identify and build relationships with key travel bloggers and journalists, especially those who publish online and would provide authoritative inbound links.
The PR strategy also mirrored and amplified the digital marketing strategy. For example, park by park PR competitions and reviews were set up to mirror the activity taking place online, via social media and on the blog.
Our strategy allowed savvy holiday consumers to discover the perfect holiday for them, whether they were looking via Google search, social media or traditional print titles.
The strategy worked and PushON achieved the following:
- Increased overall website traffic by 49% thus raising further awareness
- Increased direct revenue by 12% in just five months
- Increased the number of brochures requested by consumers by 120%
- Increased visibility in search by achieving page one rankings for 48 of the 54 holiday parks
- Increased brand searches by 15%
PPC | SEO and Social Media | Affiliate Marketing | |
Revenue | Up 60% | Up 29% | Up 11% |
Bookings | Up 80% | Up 30% | Up 10% |
Other | Page one rankings for 183 target terms | Signed up 92 new affiliates |
In addition to park specific or holiday specific searches, brand searches remain critical to success in the travel sector online, and PushON worked with Brazen to improve the level of brand searches over the course of the year. As a result of the company's collaborative effort increased brand searches by 7% when compared with the previous year.
Also key were seasonal successes during the peak sales period of January and February. Much of PushON's work was geared toward the two key sales months of the year. These are January and February. Over these two months PushON helped to achieve an additional 27% in revenue when compared with the same period last year.
PushON took over the PPC campaign from another agency in early October 2011 and looked to refine and expand the campaign. While spending levels remained the same, traffic and sales increased significantly and the campaign had become much more effective. Less wasted clicks were being delivered and more targeted traffic was being driven to the site. PushON expanded the campaign through the use of other Pay Per Click channels such as Microsoft Adcentre. Targeted landing pages were also created.
By working hard at building relationships with these influencers, not only did Thomson Al Fresco benefit from influential coverage from bloggers and travel writers but also acquired authoritative and high quality inbound links from domains such as The Daily Mail and Travel Supermarket.
This activity was heavily up-weighted ahead of the year end to ensure that the crucial January and February sales period was targeted.
As a result of these efforts, Al Fresco was now genuinely reaching consumers at every step of the buying cycle, from initial research to purchase, whether they were looking generically for camping holidays or country based terms.
Brand research showed that typically, once consumers had completed their research and engaged with the brand online, or read about it via PR coverage, they knew what type of holiday they were looking for, they would typically turn to Google above any other media to finalise their purchase using brand related searches. Thankfully due to all the combined digital marketing efforts, Al Fresco was ranking well for key search terms, benefiting from increased traffic and – critically – converting these customers in to sales.

I've left a number of jobs. The excitement about what comes next is always electrifying and I've always been a person to look forward to the next thing. That is the fun part about leaving. Hopeful optimism as I step into the unknown. Good thing I am a "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" person and not a "stick with the evil you know instead of the evil you don't".
One thing that has never changed for me is that it is always so hard to say goodbye to the good folks that will be sorely missed. Once someone isn't a coworker anymore I tend to lose my "game face" and my emotions leak out. It's hard not to feel sad when I get a big hug from someone I really liked seeing every day. When I leave I always try and say goodbye to every person I worked with. Every single one. It is a taxing day, and this time I didn't quite manage it. There were a few folks (and some of you read this blog) that I missed. It wasn't intentional, our timing was just off. Goodbye – it's been fun – best wishes – may we meet again.
There are people from each and every company that I've worked at that I wish I could still work with. They are all different. Some are quiet. Some are loud. Some are always serious and business-like. Some are always looking at the funny side of work. Some really pushed my buttons but they made me a better person in times of confrontation. Some are sensitive and helped me to realize when I might be stepping on toes. I've tried to keep in touch with most of the people I developed a connection with. Sometimes it is difficult because work was the only common interest. Other times old coworker became lifetime friends. And, one of my favorites is when old coworkers become new coworkers under different circumstances. It's so nice to see a friendly face that I know I can trust.
When my old coworkers and friends found out that I lost my job, I received a huge outpouring of support. Frankly, I was shocked. I got notes and phone calls from people all through the span of my career. I heard from people in CT at UTC where I worked fresh out of college, I heard from IBMers from 15 years ago that I haven't seen since, I got great support from ex-Nortelers, those that went through the Caspian days, and of course from some ex-coworkers from my recent position. Thank you everyone – I hope to see you all again in another company someday!

Available from Amazon and other booksellers
More information: http://www.davidrobertbooks.com/mandel.html
Poetry and life are interwoven in Charlotte Mandel's latest book titled LIFE WORK. The poems explore the progress of a loving marriage into loss and transcendence, homage to artists, concern for the effects of war on humanity and nature. The collection creates a tapestry of classic and original forms with rich imagery and precision.
"It is Mandel's poems on her husband's death I will remember above all this year for elegance and restraint. She chooses formal diction in verse to achieve a firm focus while allowing gifted flexibility within the lines. Our complex lives are richer for the clear beautiful eye of Charlotte Mandel--whether writing about a new sweater for an aged father or an estranged brother's death, she grasps us out of our wilderness to say look at this truth, how language retrieves us from turmoil." - Grace Cavalieri in The Washington Independent Review of Books.
"In LIFE WORK, Charlotte Mandel reaffirms that rhythms, repetitions, and rituals sustain us. If there is a loss in that, there is also profound and quiet joy. - Kim Bridgford
"These are graceful, wise, and courageous poems. In Charlotte Mandel's LIFE WORK, poetry is a help both during trouble and in the quiet after, helping us to figure out what we feel and challenging us to say it." - Rachel Hadas

Hi Java Davis,
I'm puzzled by the lack of reviews you've received -- perhaps they're readers who don't have the confidence to review?
At any rate, I like your interest in things Jewish -- Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer I love -- though I'm not crazy about your titles. Tell you what. I'll review one of your books (the book of your choice) if you'll review something for me.
My historical fiction The Woman Who Loved Horses covers the era 1934-1942 in America and is currently #8 on Amazon.com's list of Kindle eBooks in sports. It's horse racing, but don't worry, there are historical passages throughout that might hold your interest.

Dish and Southwest Airlines extend free in-flight live TV promotion through 2014
Posted By Andy Vuong On January 16, 2014 @ 10:21 am In Tech+ | 3 Comments
Douglas County-based Dish Network and Southwest Airlines [2] said Thursday that they are extending their "TV Flies Free" promotion through the end of 2014.
The promotion allows travelers to access nearly 20 live TV channels and up to 75 on-demand shows for free via Android or iOS devices during flights on Southwest's Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft.
The onboard programming is paid for by Dish and provided through a partnership with Row 44. Dish and Southwest initially launched [3] the promotion in July. As part of the extended deal, new Dish satellite-TV customers who sign up for a qualified programming package will receive 12,500 Southwest Rapid Rewards points and an iPad Mini.
Dish chief marketing officer James Moorhead said travelers are watching more on-board video content since the Federal Aviation Administration relaxed rules last year [4] on the usage of consumer electronics during flights.
"Since the FAA changed its rules regarding personal electronic device usage, mobile video viewing on Southwest Airlines flights has increased more than 20 percent," Moorhead said in a statement.
Southwest says it is still the only U.S. airline that offers gate-to-gate connectivity and messaging services. The carrier's operates nearly 440 Wi-Fi enabled planes.
"Free is a great thing for Customers in this industry and having DISH (provide) this amenity through 2014 will continue to make our onboard experience even more entertaining this year," Southwest's chief marketing officer Kevin Krone said in a statement.
To access the live TV and on-demand programs free of charge, Southwest passengers need to connect to the plane's WiFi network and launch a web browser, which will be directed to the carrier's in-flight entertainment portal.

It's a pretty common joke among people who go to the gym that you 'mustn't skip leg day'! Lots of people train with weights to get big muscles for show, and they do tend to concentrate on certain body parts that are more apparent when you're stood in the club or bar for all to see. This is all well and good, but if you don't train your legs they're going to fall further and further behind in terms of muscle development. Eventually, you're going to look pretty stupid with a big upper body and little chicken legs.
So why don't people train legs as much as they should? Well, the answer is two-fold. Firstly, because the leg is such a large body part training them can really hurt and be super tough! If you do enough squats you can almost make yourself sick, and this is enough to put a lot of people off! There's also the question of time – if you can only get to the gym to lift weights twice a week it's likely that legs will be sacrificed to concentrate on upper body work.
So what's the best way to train legs? Well, it needn't be complicated or take too long. The trick to remember with leg muscles is that they are already accustomed to a lot of regular use. To shock them into growth you need to hit them fast and hard to really go beyond the amount of work they get on a regular basis anyway. Let's look at a great leg program. Remember – intensity is absolutely key.
Exercise 1 – Squats – 4 sets of 10-15 Reps
The squat is the classic leg exercise that bodybuilders and power lifters have been doing since the very beginning. The theory is simple: Simply take a weighted barbell and hold it across your shoulders, behind your head. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart, with your hands holding the bar in position. Now, keeping your back straight, bend your knees and lower your upper body until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Now push with your legs and return to the starting position.
It's very important to get the technique right so you don't hurt yourself, so consult with a certified gym instructor that can teach you how to do it right. Someone who's been trained by a company like CMS Fitness will be able to help you. Sports massage courses by cmsfitnesscourses.co.uk are also really popular, and a good massage might be exactly what you need after your first few leg training sessions!
Put enough weight on the bar so that you can only do between 10 and 15 repetitions (reps). Rest for one minute and then continue. This exercise works the glutes (bum), quads (thighs), hamstrings (back of thighs) and calves – pretty much the whole leg, but with emphasis on the quads and glutes. This means we need two more exercises to get to the harder-to-reach muscle groups.
Exercise 2 – Hamstring Curls – 2 Sets of 10-15 Reps
This exercise works solely on the hamstrings using a special machine that can be found in most gyms. Simply lay on your front on the bench with your legs out straight. Hook your legs under the padded bar and then bend your legs against the weight and try to bring your heels up to your bum – easy as that! Again, set the weight on the machine so that you can only manage between 10 and 15 reps, and do 2 sets.
Exercise 3 – Calf Raises – 2 Sets of 20-30 Reps
The calf muscle is at the back of your shin, and this last exercise will target it directly. There are many ways to do this and most gyms will have at least one machine that will help you to do this. Basically, it's usually a case of standing on the balls of your feet and raising and lowering your bodyweight to work the calf muscle that is connected to your ankle via the Achilles tendon. Most machines will have a system whereby your bodyweight is increased for the purposes of the exercise to give your calves a more effective workout in a shorter time. Do 2 sets with a minimum of 20 reps and you'll really feel the burn!
So there you go – a leg workout that will take less than half an hour yet has all the ingredients to build your legs to an impressive standard as long as you really push the intensity. Since it only takes 30 minutes you can probably do the leg work out on the same day as another body part without running out of time or energy in the gym. It's common to do abs and legs on the same day actually, and if you train in the gym using a 3 day split, the other two days can be split between different upper body muscle groups.
This is a really popular 3 day split
Day 1 – Legs and Abs
Day 2 – Chest, Front and Side Delts – Triceps
Day 3 – Back, Rear Delts, Biceps, Forearms
However, if you're trying to fit legs into a 2 day split, this is how I would do it:
Day 1 – Chest, Front and Side Delts, Triceps, Hamstrings, Calves
Day 3 – Back, Rear Delts, Biceps, Forearms, Quads
Chest and shoulders (day 1) is probably a bit harder than day 2, so it makes sense to add the squats (the toughest leg exercise) to that day. Hams and calves can be snuck in at the end of the other routine. Since the ham and calf exercises are quite targeted to areas not really covered by the squats it doesn't matter if you do them on different days. Mind you, that's only my theory – a lot of people will happily train muscle groups that interact (such as back and biceps) on different days, but i've found that for my body type, and for avoiding injury, it's best to work overlapping muscle groups together and then give them a full week of rest before hitting them again.
Don't skip leg day, dude!

Rancilio Silvia V3 & Rocky
I just ordered this set up and am a novice at using it. What settings should I start with , Grind etc
I just ordered this set up and am a novice at using it. What settings should I start with , Grind etc
Mike Russo ♦ Bill...I would suggest you set your grinder at about three quarters of the way to the finest setting, and then adjust from there. Thanks.
how does this compare to the Breville Barista Express?
Which is easier to use, and is more durable?
mjackson ♦ Beth,
No question get the Rancilio package it is a great package and will last a very long time and you will not regret making the purchase.
Mike Russo ♦ Beth...Thank you for your interest in the Rancilio Silvia V3 & Rocky and your great question. I am sorry to say we do not sell these machines in dual voltage.Thanks.
What tamper would you recommend to buy with the Silvia?
Also, I'm thinking of buying this for an office. We're a small company (~15) and it probably won't get more than 4 or 5 uses a day. That should be fine, right?
Thanks, I'm a huge fan of you guys.
mjackson ♦ Noah,
It is a very good machine and should work well for that many drinks.I would not leave on for extended periods of time if possible with no use. It will work best with a 58MM tamper. Thanks for the business and your support.
Are these appliances wired for 120Volts? I live abroad and would like one shipped, but we have 220V. Is there any way you can order the 220V (or 240, or whatever) and have it shipped? If not, can you recommend a local dealer in Shanghai, China? Thank you.
Mike Russo ♦ Matt...Thank you for your interest in the Rancilio Silvia V3 & Rocky Grinder. I am sorry to say we do not sell a 220 volt model, and I would suggest you contact Rancilio directly to locate a dealer in Shanghai, China. Thanks.
On one of the reviews of the Rancilio Silvia, the customer said that she added a "PID" to her Silvia.
Please explain what a PID is and why the need for it and the additional cost.
Mike Russo ♦ James...Thanks for your interest in the Rancilio Silvia. A PID is not really needed to brew great espresso. I do not know what the cost of a PID is. Please keep in mind if you install a PID in the Silvia it will void the warranty. Thanks.
I founded out that my Silvia V2 always needs a finer grind with slightly more than 14g to hit the 20 seconds mark (using finest setting of my Rocky right now), I wonder if this is normal or I have to adjust the OPV or something else?
Mike Russo ♦ Pochum...I would suggest you try a finer grind and more tamp pressure. Thanks.
Recently when I go to use my Silvia, she trips the GFI. It's done it maybe 4 times. The first two times I hit the button on the wall and she worked. Now it just keeps tripping the GFI. What's happening with this? Can I troubleshoot on my own? I've read other comments on this problem and most say it's the boiler that needs replaced. Do I need to send it in? Or can I do it myself? Enquiring minds want to know. HOW MUCH?
I just want and miss my cup-a-joe in the mornings.
Missing my interaction with Silvia!
Ada Jones
yes I'm a girl!!
mjackson ♦ Ada,
It could be your GFI or it could be the machine. Lets try it on a different outlet and see what happens. If it is the machine it could be your boiler or something else. If you call our technical line they may be able to help. If it is your boiler you can change it but it does take some effort and skill. If you give them a call they can get you the parts you need.
rorlando You have to consider duties, taxes, shipping, and warranty issues when shipping out side of the United States. We'd be happy to give you a quote if you give us a call at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Thank you for inquiring at Whole Latte Love.
Would the Rancilio Silvia V3 & Rocky package be efficient enough for a coffee cart? or would I need to buy the Rancilio epoca?
What other good alternatives do you have of this package?
Thank you.
mjackson ♦ Luisa,
The Silvia while a god machine for home will not work for a cart. The Epoca is much better and will give you the benefit of being able to brew and steam at the same time. It also has a large boiler. If you need to make more then 6 or so drinks in a row or have to make more then about 60-70 drinks a day you may want to look into getting a two group machine. You may want to give me a call as I have a lot of experience with carts and would be able to help you. My name is Mark Jackson and I can be reached at 1-888-411-5282 Ext. 5196

Peter Golds: I'm speechless over plans to use Trinity Square Gardens for boozy Christmas parties
By Peter Golds
Once in a while even Tower Hamlets Council can leave one lost for words. Earlier this year an ominous paper was approved by the Executive Mayor regarding using the borough's parks for revenue raising.
The result was that Victoria Park was used for a series of concerts.
Nothing, however, prepared for the news last week that the council had been negotiating to use Trinity Square Gardens, site of the Merchant Seamen's Memorial, for Christmas and New Year parties.
The company intending to use the park, Moving Events, was publicising its parties even before a licence was granted.
There are tens of thousands of names on the memorial, many of seamen as young as 14. Who would propose locating a marquee with music, and drinking adjacent to this memorial?
Obscenely, it would have been open for business on November 22, nine days after the borough's remembrance ceremonies.
Our poppies would have been swept away to be replaced by beer and wine glasses.
There are serious questions about the closed doors negotiations between the council and Moving Events.
After a national outcry, the mayor cancelled the hiring at the same time as Moving Events pulled out. However how did this get so far?

Cllr Golds is not the only person wondering how the matter got this far, especially when it is remembered that Trinity Square Gardens is not one of "the borough's parks", but Crown land that is merely maintained by LBTH.
I made a Freedom of Information Act request in regard to this matter on 6th October, but despite a statutory duty on LBTH to respond promptly to such requests, they do not seem in any great hurry to get back to me. I will get to the bottom of this matter and in due course I will share the results of my endeavours with Mr Golds.
