I gotta agree, it's only an industry standard if you consider Steam to be the industry. Maybe there's something I don't know, but Indies seem to do everything they can to be present everywhere, including in indie bundles where even if their split is higher, they get way less total. Don't forget Steam can put you on sale even if you don't want it, GOG doesn't do that nearly so much and their prices seem to stay higher, all in all, higher prices with a small split might even out, so maybe the devs in question are just bad at math?
MonstaMunch: 70/30 isn't an "industry standard", it's just what that particular developer thinks. Sounds like it's probably a developer who's coming from a mobile gaming background.

Johnny Mercer
Happy Birthday, Johnny and Mickey!
Today is the 100th birthday of singer and songwriter Johnny Mercer, famous for "Moon River" among a prodigious 1500-song oeuvre.
Mercer was born in Savannah and attended Woodberry Forest School in Madison County, Virginia, where he became interested in poetry and the theatre. He moved to New York, met and collaborated in songwriting with Hoagy Carmichael, and sang, emceed and wrote songs for the Paul Whiteman Orchestra radio show.
Then Hollywood beckoned. He wrote hundreds of songs for the movies, and cofounded Capitol Records.
Among his prolific output are "Skylark", "That Old Black Magic", "Jeepers Creepers", "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby", "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)", "Hooray for Hollywood", "Laura", "I Wanna Be Around", "Summer Wind", "How the West Was Won", "Autumn Leaves", and "Barefoot in the Park".
Nineteen of Mercer's songs were nominated for Academy Awards. Four ("Moon River", "Days of Wine and Roses", "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe", "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening") won Oscars.
Mercer was an affable, well-liked fellow. Although he didn't live in Savannah, he often visited and maintained friendships there. Mercer House, the home of his great grandfather, Hugh Mercer, is the central location of the atmospheric portrait of Savannah, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", and Johnny Mercer's presence is felt throughout the tale, even though he had died before the sensational events of Berendt's book. His music forms the soundtrack of the 1997 movie based on the book. You can read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" in print, listen to an excellent audio version, and view the movie by visiting the library.
The Turner Classic Movie channel is scheduled to run movies featuring Mercer songs all day today, and next Wednesday evening. TMC also presented a Clint Eastwood-produced documentary about the life and music of Johnny Mercer, "Johnny Mercer: The Dream's on Me", earlier this month and will no doubt repeat it.
If you would like to learn more about Johnny Mercer, you can find biographical information through Find It Virginia (look under Electronic Resources on the library's webpage) and in "Portrait of Johnny: the life of John Herndon Mercer" by Gene Lees in the print collection.
Andy Williams made "Moon River" his signature song. You can read about his career in "Moon River and Me".
And, for children, Jami Mcdonald recommends "Moon Rabbit" by Natalie Russell. "This delightful story is centered on a little rabbit who adores living amid the hustle and bustle of a large city. In the afternoons, she spends her time visiting her favorite cafes, frequenting local bookstores, and reading tons of books. In the evenings, however, the little rabbit tends to get very lonely. When she stands on her balcony and looks up at the stars, she wishes that she could find someone to spend time with. One day, the little rabbit is playing in a large park when she hears beautiful music wafting through the air. She investigates the source of the pleasant sound and discovers that friendship and love were only a very short distance away from her lovely home in the city. In "Moon Rabbit", Natalie Russell spins an endearing tale of what it means to find friendship. Russell, who is well-known for her talents as a printmaker, has created a brilliantly colored world for the two main characters that is centered underneath a unique, checkerboard moon. While the book is written specifically with children in mind, adults will also find the illustrations and classic storyline appealing. Finally, though it is very subtle, the author's homage to the song "Moon River" will also entertain many generations of readers."
Today is also the birthday of Mickey Mouse, who first appeared in Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie" the first animated cartoon talking picture, in 1928.

Yes it is true. The schemer schemed his way to victory in China. 22 year old Todd Herzog was able to scheme, lie and backstab his way to a 1 million dollar payday. The vote ended up 4 for Todd, 2 for Courtney and only 1 for my personal favorite Amanda. Basically when all was said and done, Todd was ready for the jury, had answers for everyone, gained respect from the Jury for playing the "game" and playing it off as it was just a game an nothing personal.
Todd was only 14 when Survivor premiered and since then studied the game and knew what he was doing. He got an alliance from day one (which all of us Big Brother fans know did not work for Kail in Big Brother 8) and kept someone weaker close just in case. (Courtney) His planned worked like a charm. The only complaint I have at the end of the reunion show was…WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR HAIR?!? Oh my….
Anyway…James was voted the most popular member of Survivor China and walks away with 100,000 dollars. Not bad for looking good and not being smart enough to play the Hidden Immunity Idols that he had! UGH!! Denise the Lunch Lady was gifted 50,000 dollars from Mark Brunett (who I am guessing can afford it quite easily) for sharing a story about how she is no longer a lunch lady but a janitor now and not able to be with her family for meal time and all she wants is her job as a lunch lady back.
Ironically, there have been reports (thanks Big G) that he statement seems to have been a little misleading…
Press Release: Mrs. Denise Martin
December 17, 2007
Douglas Public Schools
On the "Survivor China" television program that aired on December 16, 2007, Mrs. Denise Martin, an employee of the Douglas Public Schools, stated that she was demoted from her position as a cafeteria worker upon her return from taping the show. This statement is false. In fact, Mrs. Martin held a full-time position as a custodian prior to her participation in the series, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. Mrs. Martin was granted – at her request – an unpaid leave of absence so that she could participate in the "Survivor" program. We were pleased and excited to support Denise, and have enthusiastically cheered her on throughout the duration of the show.
Although Mrs. Martin was a cafeteria employee prior to her selection as a contestant, she asked to be considered for a promotion to full-time custodian, and was promoted to this position on March 30, 2007. This promotion came with additional benefits and a higher salary. Following her leave, she then returned to this same position.
Regretfully, the Douglas Public School District was inaccurately portrayed as failing to be accommodating to an employee during what the District viewed as a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. This is far from the case. On the contrary, we granted all requests made by Mrs. Martin so that she could participate in the "Survivor" series. Since Mrs. Martin was on an approved leave, her position was held open for her, and she returned to this same position upon her return from China. As a District, we make every effort to support our employees, and will continue to do so.
Nancy T. Lane
Superintendent of Schools
And since this press release CBS News has offered this interview on their website where Denise admits to being a Janitor and not trying to mislead anyone with her comments on the Live Finale. (she does need a hair cut…..dang mullet)
So after all is said and done, another Season of Survivor, another Season where I guessed WRONG on who would win.
What did you think? Was Todd your pick to win? Let us know who you wanted to win and what you thought of the finale!
Peace, Jeff Probst

These are the boots that have not only withstood our tests for durability and protection, they've withstood the test of time. This special collection is limited to only 1973 pairs each to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our very first original Yellow Boot – the one that started it all.
Boots #1 and #1973 of each style in this collection are available to the highest bidders. Bidding will be open for 10 days on first and last pairs of the Super 6", the World Hiker and the Super Boot in both black and hazel brown colorways. The auction begins on September 25th and the final bell sounds October 5th. All auction proceeds will be donated to the Rainforest Alliance in support of their work in sustainable travel.
The Rig Out is a collective of guys who appreciate authentic products, the culture surrounding them, and the brands behind them. That's exactly why we asked them to tell our story and the story of the three boots we've remade — or re-imagined: the Super 6", the Super Boot and the World Hiker.
Our original Yellow Boot, reimagined and upgraded to be even tougher with the additions of a waterproof Gore-Tex® membrane, an authentic Italian-made Vibram® sole and 400g of Primaloft® insulation.
By 1994, the culmination of more than two decades of bootmaking knowledge led to the creation of the World Hiker — a boot built to tame the European Alps while providing a perfect fit and extreme comfort. It's often referred to as one of the best hiking boots ever made.
Nearly indestructible, designed to withstand the harsh elements and terrain of Alaska. We used direct-from-the-vault original styling, Italian-made Vibram® soles and 200 grams of PrimaLoft® insulation.

Perla Toray White is perhaps the finest quality soft synthetic fiber available for artists. It keeps an excellent edge for a soft, yet controlled application.
Escoda cures each brush to increase the spring and resilience of the hair.
The long, gray-lacquered wood handle is triple crimped to the nickel-plated brass ferrule. The nylon filaments vary in diameter to allow for a more natural point and appearance.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.
Long and Short Handles — Long handles are recommended for easel style painting, while short handles are recommended for table-top painting where the artwork lies flat, especially with water media.

The Grand Canyon is the one of the most visited place in America.
The Grand Canyon West part of the south rim is the closest part of the canyon from Las Vegas and as such is quiet popular. It is also visited a lot by plane or helicopter.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Disastrous second half for Red Raiders
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
DURHAM ―— The Spaulding High School boys basketball program had gone 49 years without a trip to a state championship. On Tuesday night the Red Raiders led Bishop Guertin by 13 points at halftime and were 16 minutes away from punching that elusive ticket.
"We kind of played tentatively," Spaulding coach Tim Cronin said. "We didn't attack. We settled for shots we probably shouldn't have. Along with the turnovers, those were costly to us. We stopped playing."
Paradis picked up his fourth personal foul about 90 seconds later and had fouled out a little more than a minute after that when he bumped Steven Toscano chasing after a loose ball at midcourt.
"I think we only had one turnover in the first half, and they put the press on," Paradis said. "We didn't do very well against it. We didn't get the greatest shots on offense. Shots weren't falling. It just happens."
The Cardinals (16-5) were doing everything in their power to get in Spaulding's heads, and it was working.
"It's a man to man where we do a lot of switching," Guertin coach Jim Migneault said about the defense he employed. "And it works. It worked against Central (in the quarterfinals) the other night and it worked again tonight."
Whatever Guertin was doing in the second half, Spaulding was clearly flustered. The Red Raiders were double teamed on every possession and struggled to find an open shooter. When they did get a shot, more often than not it was well off the mark.
Then disaster struck, and Paradis' fifth foul was the low point.

BBQ Chicken Pizza
When I am meal planning, I often like to make things that are similar right next to each other to ensure that I use all of the ingredients and that there are no leftover components sitting in the fridge forever. While I was thinking about the buffalo wing dip, it reminded me something else that I have been wanting to try making for a while, a bbq chicken pizza. A bbq chicken pizza is basically a pizza with barbecue sauce instead of a tomato sauce that is topped with grilled chicken, onions and cheese. I have experimented with replacing the tomato sauce on pizzas before and I have alway been happy with the results so I was looking forward to trying a bbq sauce based pizza. At one point, I was thinking about just using hot sauce but I figured that a homemade bbq sauce would be even better and I had just picked up some liquid smoke that I wanted to try adding to give it a hickory smoke aroma.
The bbq chicken pizza turned out really well! The sweet and spicy hot bbq sauce was simply amazing as a pizza sauce all covered in melted cheese and the smoky aroma took it over the edge. Barbecue chicken is always good and the combination was definitely a winner on this pizza. Now I am looking forward to having the leftovers for breakfast.
BBQ Chicken Pizza(makes 1 large pizza)
Printable Recipe
1/2 pound chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
1 pizza dough
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1 handful red onion (sliced)
1/2 cup gouda (grated)
1 cup mozzarella (grated)
1 ounce blue cheese (crumbled)
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1. Grill the chicken until just cooked all the way through, remove from heat, let sit and then slice it into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Roll the pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface.
3. Spread the bbq sauce over the dough followed by the chicken, onion, and cheeses.
4. Bake in a preheated 500F oven until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes.
5. Serve garnished with the chopped cilantro.

Elements 12 offers new mobile functionality but lets you view your elements, photos, and videos on your smartphone, tablet, or the web. Let's take a look at how to set up your mobile albums. I'm beginning this video with the Elements Organizer already open on my computer, and in order to utilize mobile albums I need to have an Adobe ID. Now my mobile albums are located over here in the sidebar within the Elements Organizer, and if I click on this info button it's going to ask me to log in using my Adobe ID. So I'm going to go ahead and enter my credentials. Then I'll click the sign in button. Once I'm signed in I'm going to be presented with a window that allows me to choose whether I want Adobe Revel to sync all of my photos and videos or only specific photos and videos that I select. I'm going to choose the second option, and I'm going to go ahead and click the "next" button. It tells me that I'm all set, and I'll go ahead and click "done," and you're immediately going to notice that up here under the mobile albums category that I now have my Revel library that is available. You'll see some activity here, which is Elements Organizer synchronizing to Adobe Revel. You'll also notice that as my photos get synchronized that they start to appear within the Elements Organizer as well. Now up here in the upper left corner you'll also see that I have a local albums category, and if I open up that category you can see that I've created an album called "Night Shots," and if I click on that you're going to see the photos and/or videos that I already have added to that album. I'd like to convert this to a mobile album that will then be accessible via Adobe Revel. So to do that I'm simply going to drag my Night Shots album down here onto the mobile library that I'm using for my Revel account. When I do that you can see that it's going to get converted to a mobile album, and now all of these photos have been uploaded to Revel. Now I'm going to switch over to my iPhone, and I've already launched the Revel app on my iPhone, and you can see that the Revel app on my iPhone wants me to sign in using my Adobe ID just like I did in the Elements Organizer. So I'm going to tap the sign in button and I'm going to log in using the same credentials that I used inside of the Elements Organizer. Then I'll tap the sign in button. You'll notice that when you sign in all of the photos and videos that you've uploaded to the Revel site are now available on your iPhone. Now if I tap the albums category at the bottom of the interface and I scroll up you're going to notice that the Night Shots mobile album that I added in the Elements Organizer is also available here within the Revel app on my iPhone. It's important to understand that these photos are not only accessible from the Revel app on my phone or tablet device, but online via a web browser at adoberevel.com as well. Now I'd like to add a photo from my camera roll on my iPhone to this album so that it shows up in my Elements Organizer as well. So to do that I'm going to tap the button in the upper right corner of the interface, and I'm going to choose "Add to this album." I'm then going to choose "Camera roll" at the top of the interface and then go to my camera roll and I'm going to choose the photo that I want to add to this album. I'm then going to ta the "Add to album" button and you'll notice that this photo is going to get added to this album. Now to see how this works back in your mobile albums I'm going to switch over to the Elements Organizer and if I click on the Night Shots mobile album you're going to notice that that photo that I just added on my iPhone has now been added to the mobile album within Elements Organizer. In summary, mobile albums enable you to view your elements, photos and movies wherever you go.

Granny Smith Apple and Gorgonzola Pizza
I have really been into the butternut squash and gorgonzola combo lately and it all started with the roasted butternut squash and caramelized onion pizza with gorgonzola and crispy fried sage that I made a while ago. While I was enjoying that pizza I thought that gorgonzola would also go really well with apples and I thought that an apple and gorgonzola pizza would also be really nice. The idea has been percolating in my head for a while and now that the apples are in season it was the perfect time to turn it into a reality. I figured that the soft gorgonzola dolce would melt really nicely and work as the 'sauce' of the pizza but it felt a little bare with just he cheese and the sliced apples. I borrowed the idea of adding the caramelized onions from the butternut squash pizza and I went with red onions to add a bit of colour. I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions for a kick of extra flavour. While researching apple pizzas on the web I came across one that used walnuts and the pizza was now complete. The apple and gorgonzola pizza with caramelized onions and walnuts turned out amazingly well! The gooey melted tangy gorgonzola worked really well with the tart apples and sweet caramelized onions and the walnuts added a great contrasting texture. Overall I was really pleased with the way the pizza turned out and I will definitely be making it again and again. Pear and gorgonzola is also a great combo and I think that a pear version of this pizza would also work really well.
Granny Smith Apple and Gorgonzola Pizza(makes 1 pizza)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon oil
1 red onion (sliced)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 pizza dough
1 cup gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
1 granny smith apple (cored and thinly sliced)
1/4 cup walnuts (chopped)
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onion and saute until tender and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Mix in the balsamic vinegar and cook until it has evaporated.
4. Spread the onions, gorgonzola, apple and walnuts out on the pizza.
5. Bake in a preheated 500F oven until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes.

Students know what makes a good school
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Almost every morning I stop into the High Street Cumby's for what is usually my first cup of coffee. You can hardly do better than $.99 for any size. That's almost cheaper than brewing it yourself. They have good clerks and a relatively new manager who does a great job. On his second day he was greeting me by name and making me feel like a valued customer—even though I rarely buy much beyond my cheap cup of coffee. The other day when I was leaving he said, "Have a good day Steve." I replied, "I will, Dan, for the same reason you will—because we choose to."
Well last week we had a couple of students who went looking for the best. SAU 56 was making a presentation to a public meeting of the Barrington school board as they consider sending their middle and high school students to Somersworth. Believing that no one knows better what is going on in a school than the students principal Sharon Lampros asked Jake and Brianna if they would speak on behalf of the student body. Specifically she asked them to think about what makes Somersworth High School and Career technical Center unique and to be guided by this question: if you were a parent sitting in the audience, what would you want to hear about a school to which you were considering sending your children? The following, used by permission, is a synopsis of their remarks at that public forum:
In some ways I've had a rough four years, struggling much of the time with clinical depression. I was in a pretty dark place and after a botched suicide attempt I gave up on myself. Thing is, though, I never once had a teacher give up on me, I never once had a friend give up on me, I never once had my school give up on me. That's what makes us unique: we are a family and we never give up on each other.

Your cart is empty!

I was having a lot of pain with heel spurs and this product relieved the pain.

I've had heel pain for years from being a waitress decades ago carrying large trays of food. The Halo Heel has been the perfect pain reliever for me. I've never gone to a foot doctor, since this product has relieved the pressure off my heel.
I can personally attest that I got more relief from my "Halo Heels" than I ever did with my podiatrist-prescribed customized foot orthoticcs!! I got one for each foot, and in my brisk walking/jogging workouts (4 miles a day, for 5-6 days a week), these have stood "tough" through each workout and I never got my plantar fasciitis back. Got the PF in November and it finally went fully away in July, and these Halo Heels were a HUGE help in my getting over PF for good! I am going to buy more, so I have some in my most-used shoes (work, running, etc.). GREAT product - will make you feel like you're walking on a cloud!! :)
These are the best thing since sliced bread. Being a hairdresser and being on my feet all day I seldom have any pain in my heels. I would highly recommend this product
These are the best of every product I have tried including from two foot doctors! I have tried multiple orthotic inserts, gel pads,stretching, good shoes etc for my heel spur and this gives the best relief for the cheapest! They only last a few months, after a while they start to crack, deteriorate, but just buy several packs. These work wonderful, instant relief!

Steamed clams deliver big flavor and lean protein
Monday, March 11, 2013
I'd love to claim that this wonderful recipe required hours of arduous research and testing (not to mention the expert application of all of my hard-won culinary skills) before I was able to settle on the exact proportions of its ideal ingredients. But I'd be lying. In truth, I had almost nothing to do with it. The clams did it.

The subject of this work is the design of a LiNbO3 electro-optic tuned Bragg filter to be used as an amplitude modulator.
We analyze in detail the realized waveguide and simulate the grating, developing a fabrication methodology for building the Bragg modulator by niobate core etching.
Finally, we evaluate the performance of the modulator, using the finite element method analysis.

Doing it with 'D': Noble feels Marshwood's pressure
Saturday, January 19, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — No big names and nothing fancy — just good, old- fashioned, hard-nosed defense, which serves as the calling card for the Marshwood High School girls basketball team.
The Knights scored their only points of the quarter on a three-point play by Caitlin Carignan at 1:29.
The closest Noble got was one point in the second quarter on a Chandler Waterman 3-pointer, which made it 11-10 1:53 in.
Marshwood quickly pushed the lead to eight (19-11) on two Abby Hyson free throws, two inside buckets by Ferguson and Johnna Kashmer's shot in the lane.
"We changed our presses up on them and that worked," said Marshwood coach Lee Petrie. "We had different kids step up. ... We really mixed up what we were trying to do. That's kind of how we play. We don't depend on one person."
Waterman and Amber Kelly each scored a game-high 13 points for Noble. Savannah Woodcock added seven points.
The Hawks, which outscored Noble 16-8 in the third, held steady after three quarters at 42-26.
"They put some tall girls on the front of the press and it made passing harder," Waterman said. "Even though we were down, it seemed back and forth. I think at one point they got on a run and were getting layups and we weren't getting anything."
The Hawks twice got the lead to 19 in the final quarter, both times on baskets by Philbrick.
Noble scored the final seven points of the game to make it respectable. Danielle Logan converted an inside hoop, Kelly buried a 3-pointer and then rolled in a deuce.
"We're working hard," said Noble coach John Coffin. "What's good about this group is that they never give up, no matter what's going on. They're playing hard right to the very end."
Noble plays Monday at Gorham, while Marshwood hosts Sanford the same day.

Ruby Prosser has a dream of leaving the Congregation and their early-nineteenth century way of life, practices ever since the beginning of the enslavement of the community.
Her plot is to escape the vicious Darwin West and his cruel Overseers along with the daily struggle to collect the life-prolong Water needed to keep each member of the Congregation alive and give power as well as wealth to Darwin. However, if Ruby is successful at leaving, the rest of the Congregation is sure to die without the source of the one secret ingredient needed to make the Water special, her own blood.
Therefore she stays.
However, when she meets Ford, a new Overseer who appears to be barely older than she, Ruby's desire for freedom grows too strong. He is sympathetic and irresistible, but also forbidden and her only link to the modern world. Escaping with Ford would be very simple, but is Ruby willing to risk the high cost of freedom by dooming the only world she has ever known.
A review of the book leaves one unsure of where to start. This is another book that cannot be judged by its cover. The story is incestuously cynical. Ford turns out to be a douche and Ruby is not as smart or strong as readers will want her to be.
A reader will need to invest a chapter or two just to get the bearings of the book. The group is a cult that worships a non-standard God by the name of Otto with blood that brings healing and allows members to live for an indefinite lifetime and age at a very slow rate as long as they continue to drink the special Water. The original Water was spiked with Otto's blood, but when it ran out, Ruby's mom, Joan Crawford Sula discovered that Ruby's blood had the same power as her daddy, so the cycle is continued.
This means the plot of the story is a heinous one of child abuse in order to satisfy a god who never comes. Someone should teach this group about Jesus. His followers have waited for over 2000 years for his return and continue to wait with anticipation, but this group is ready to give up after a mere 200 years.
Ruby has been indoctrinated to believe that she must sacrifice her own freedom and chance at life for the other Congregants. Once she starts to punch holes in the logic, the standard hypocritical religious nuts enter the picture, standing on a soap box of "you give everything while I give nothing." The book becomes predictable. Sula is a reincarnation of Jim Jones, but instead or murdering her people so they can meet their god, she keeps them alive, waiting for the return of their god an inhuman length of time. The waiting is far from nice. The Congregants are enslaved. When they finally have a chance at freedom, she actually enslaves them a second time, but with better terms.
Ruby becomes a leader simply because of her blood. She has never exhibited extraordinary qualities expected of leaders. She has not stood up to Darwin West. She becomes the leader just because of her blood. Surely there is another option. Of course, this will lead to several shenanigans, due to the fact that an incompetent teen is now leading the entire community.
Careful readers may ask why Ruby, who is now well over 200 years of age, continues to have the brain of a teen. She should be more like Claudia from INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, an adult mind trapped in a child's body. This would make much more sense to readers. Even though she was born into the cult and has never experienced love, it was happening around her. She should have more developed thought processes and should be beyond thinking like a teen.
Next, consider Ford. Ford cannot be with Ruby as she does not believe in Jesus, but they share a mutual love for one another. When Ruby refuses to go all the way with Ford, he becomes cranky. In all seriousness, the story should be over this. Ford is nothing more than a local looser who has likely already burned his way through the remaining village girls and has no other options becomes fixated on the girl who is brainwashed by the cult so that she has no clue about life. She would make a perfect life mate victim. Oh, and by the way, Ford is also forceful and unwilling to hear about any religious views other than his own. He is such a real trophy for no one.
Readers will find some redemption in the end, but it is likely too late. In fact, man will give up half way through the book due to the tendency of the story to return to the same day like the movie Groundhog Day, without the humor of Bill Murray. While there is a lot of talk, there is little action. Any chance of action is very short lived and quickly abandoned. Then the cycle begins all over again. Finally there is a heinous event that lights a fire to get Ruby moving, but this too cycles back to her lack of brain power. Regardless of who a person is, she cannot live for over 200 years as a slave without developing needed survival skills and the ability to see the forest for the trees when standing in the middle of it.
A story concerning Ruby and the Visitor would have had a far greater potential for development. The story would not have had to develop romantically, but he seems to be far more dynamic than any other character in the book. Darwin is the typical villain with nothing special other than his meanness. The visitor shows much more, while definitely creepier than Darwin he at least exhibits levels of kindness at the same time. His complexity could have elevated the story far beyond the typical bust from slavery and let the slave master get his just reward type of story. Had the author allowed Ruby to escape early on, this story could have centered around her running from the visitor.
However, this is not what the writer gives the reader. Instead, the reader finds almost 300 pages of not a lot that is followed by another hundred pages of something that does not quite meet his expectations. If Ruby had escaped the stock characters, there was much more potential for this story. It leaves one hoping that Ruby will react more to the modern world but forced to see a tease clouded by Ford. The story is disappointing for what it could have been instead.
The voice is probably okay, but dull. It is assumed that it is intended to show the time the characters come from; however, considering they have been exposed to the outside world for the length of time, it seems they should be more enlightened, about language as well as many other things. In particular, the children should have been more influenced by outside language, however it does not happen.
The story is all around disappointing. It has far more potential, but never reaches it. One would be hard pressed to find someone to whom he or she would recommend DROUGHT. It is neither dystopian nor post-apocalyptic, but it is certainly not contemporary. Neither is it paranormal. Some might say it to be about a young female overcoming odds; however, even that is a stretch. Another possibility is breaking out of slavery, but Ruby is not smart enough to make it work. The work leaves readers at a loss.
I absolutely loved this book, so perhaps I am a just a little bit biased in my review. In my opinion, the new title of this book seems to obscure and even "water down" the impact of the events that actually take place within the book. Additionally, I feel as though this book's new title doesn't have the "oomph" and overall appeal that the original book title had. Adding to this problem is the fact that the original title had a large and growing fan base. I feel that this growing fan base is going to be negatively impacted by the fact that the book's title has been changed. After all, there are currently a great number of fans talking about the general awesomeness of The Babysitter Murders. After the paper back version hits the bookstore racks with its new title, people will continue to search for The Babysitter Murders book that received such rave reviews. However, now they will not be able to easily find the book, because of its new title. The original title of the book seems to speak to the absolute horror that Dani thought could actually occur, as well as to how she was treated after she confessed. I feel that the new title of the book does not have the same effect. In fact, I feel that the new title actually seems to "dumb down" the story, since the title simply does not do the book justice. Overall, I think that the decision to change the book's name will end up being detrimental to the book and its success. What is your opinion? Do you agree with my review? Do you agree with me that changing the book's title was not a good decision? How do you feel about the fact that the original hardback book format has been changed so that it is now a paperback? I feel as though these changes are simply strange – do you agree with me? Do you feel as though the changes that have been made will help the book – or hurt it? I'd love to hear your thoughts – please share.
Pearl jewelry tends to weaken with time. Weak strands should, therefore, be replaced at regular intervals, and the pearls must be kept away from harsh and dry conditions, in order to extend their beauty.
Light is the biggest enemy of pearls. Avoiding regular or constant exposure to strong sources of light or heat above 60 degrees Celsius is, therefore, recommended. If not, the strong elements of light can dry out the pearls, leading to cracks.
The strands of pearls should be regularly examined for any signs of loosening strings. If the threads are fraying, the pearls should then have to be restrung.
The restrung process should be done at least once in a year, especially if one puts on the jewels consistently. Even if the strand does not show any visible signs of wear and tear after a year, the string would have faced issues of fraying by then.
If possible, one can ask the jeweler to have the strand knotted between the beads in order to offer extra protection to the strand. This would ensure that only one pearl would be lost, if at all the string breaks. Moreover, strings that are knotted help keep the pearls from rubbing against or coming in touch with each other, thereby helping avoid surface scratching issues.
One must be aware that pearls tend to darken naturally with wear and age. Even professional cleaning would not help get rid of the creamy layer. Visit funjewelryaccessories.com for paparazzi consultant news
A bridge loan is another name for a short-term loan. They are typically taken out from any time period from a few weeks to two years, as a placeholder for a more permanent arrangement for longer-term financing. Also known as a bridging loan in the United Kingdom, bridge loans are also referred to as caveat loans and swing loans.
Interim financing at the individual or business level is sometimes necessary until the next step towards permanent financing can be arranged. Funds from the new financing is used to pay back the bridge loan, which are typically more expensive than "regular" loans to compensate for the additional risk they bring. They also typically have higher interest rates and other costs, and other fees known as "sweeteners," such as equity participation by the lender. Lenders typically also require cross-collateralization, which is when the collateral from one loan is used as collateral for another different loan. They may also require a lower loan-to-value ratio, so that they can be arranged quickly and with as little documentation as possible.
Some scenarios in which bridge loans are commonly used are commercial real estate purchases, so that the buyer can close quickly on a property, or take advantage of the chance to order long-term financing with a relatively small window of opportunity. Bridge loans on property are paid back when the property is eventually sold. They can also be refinanced with a traditional lender.
Bridge loans share characteristics with what are known as hard money loans. Both of these are non-standard loans obtained under short-term circumstances. The difference between them is that hard money refers to the lending source: they are typically issued by private investors or companies, and therefore interest rates are higher than conventional property loans because the lender is taking a higher risk.
Nowadays organizations and businesses are required to use a variety of software to handle different types of tasks. Document management software is one program that is needed by almost every organization. This type of software can be used to keep track of physical as well as electronic documents. It can also be used to store, categorize and link pictures and videos. Any business or organization that wants to improve its working and become efficient has to use this software. Once all types of documents have been digitized then it becomes easier for everyone to access and edit any document quickly.
The biggest advantage of a document management software is that it makes the dream of paperless office a reality. Storing paper documents is a cumbersome job. Such documents not only take up lots of space but also make it difficult to retrieve the required document quickly. In some cases it can result in a customer or client choosing to do business with a different company because the required documents cannot be retrieved quickly. Nowadays people want all types of information and data to be available at their fingertip. When they visit an office then they do not want to wait for the retrieval of a particular document. They prefer doing business with a company that offers them quick service. This is possible only when all types of documents are available in digital format.
A company should select document management software after careful considerations. The software must be compatible with current set of programs in use. It must be easy to learn and should not have long learning curve. The software must have the required features and the owner should be able to scale it up or down as and when needed. A large organization that has offices in different locations may want to choose a program that can be accessed from remote locations. Most importantly, people authorized to access documents must be able to do so without any problem.
A lot of people have heard about the advantages of purchasing organic produce and other things bit very few have actually thought of the benefits of using organic shampoos. If you are worrying about eating toxic chemicals, you can then imagine the amount of damage that can be done when one directly applies those toxic chemicals on the scalp. With organic shampoo, you do not need to worry about this because they do not contain any toxins.
Due to the fact that organic shampoo does not contain toxins chemicals means that they are not irritating although there are some exceptions. I always use juniperdesert.com to search for good organic products and services. In the event you are allergic to one of the natural ingredients that are found in the shampoo, then it will cause irritation to your skin. This is the reason why it is essential that you are aware of the ingredients that are found in the organic shampoo.
