The Grand Prairie Main Library, 901 Conover Drive, will host a book launch at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014, for author Fred G. Dickenson, who is releasing his personal memoir of the many hardships he faced and the joys that got him through in his second book, "Hard Knocks & Consequences Too: You Still Have a Lot to Learn" (published by WestBow Press).
"Hard Knocks & Consequences Too" is Dickenson's collection of short stories and anecdotes taken from the colorful and often miraculous moments of his life. Dickenson describes himself as a man who "by all rights shouldn't be here." His many close encounters with death take readers from Dickenson's early life to his career in the U.S. Air Force and all of his travels in between. Each chapter concludes with a life lesson and biblical passage.
"The book is an easy read that people can and do relate to," says Dickenson. "It is a blend of humor, love and emotion that makes the reader feel good about themselves and their lot in life."
Fred G. Dickenson is a retired captain from the U.S. Air Force with more than 30 years in journalism and communications. He holds a B.A. in communications from Wright State University in Fairborne, Ohio, an M.A. in English/communications and a Texas teacher certification from St. Mary's University in San Antonio.
Books will be for sale at the event.

Million Mom March Timeline - 15 Year Anniversary
The Million Mom March is a grassroots movement started by Donna Dees-Thomases after the tragic shooting in Granada Hills, California on August 10, 1999. Watch our tribute video and view the interactive Million Mom March timeline.

- It's really not possible to overstate the importance of this victory in Washington State. Voters in the Evergreen State overwhelmingly passed Initiative 594 to expand background checks to all gun sales, including online and at gun shows. With a decisive 60 percent of voters supporting I-594, it turns out that it's a lot harder for the corporate gun lobby to bully voters than it is to bully politicians.
AB 1014 (Skinner) advances the Brady Campaign's core mission of reducing firearm injury and death by keeping firearms out of dangerous hands. The law establishes a process for law enforcement or immediate family members to obtain a Gun Violence Restraining Order from a court in order to temporarily limit an individual's access to firearms when there are warning signs or indications that the person is at risk for violence.
On December 15th, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Dr. Vivek Murthy as the nation's next Surgeon General. The confirmation vote had been delayed because the National Rifle Association (NRA) has opposed Dr. Murthy's appointment and said they would "score" the vote, meaning the vote will be considered in "future candidate ratings and endorsements by the NRA Political Victory Fund."

Of course, the European populace, like you, prefers to live in blissful ignorance of both what's going on in the world and what their own politicians are doing.

An atheist fundamentalist is someone who is absolutely convinced this all is simply a result of a natural process with no outside interference(which is a possibility), who is 100% certain that everything about themselves will cease to exist when they die(also a possibility). Another atheist fundamentalist position is an absolute confidence that consciousness is simply a byproduct of human life, despite the lack of scientific evidence to confirm this. The term atheist fundamentalist is useful in differentiating between atheists who are open to some of these ideas, such as Sam Harris expresses in his book The End of Faith, and those who are close-minded on these areas where scientific certainty has yet to emerge.
And as with religious fundamentalism, another trend of atheist fundamentalism is an intolerance for differing views. I am not referring to conversational intolerance, where personal convictions are weighed against evidence, and where intellectual honesty is demanded of all. That is healthy. What is unhealthy, and is also bad for the image of atheism is when it becomes belligerently offensive to the point where personal insults are directed towards those with differing opinions.
Examples of fundamentalist statements made by atheist fundamentalists and others can be seen on this thread. You are welcome to participate in the Treason Project if you also think that atheist fundamentalism is a unhealthy trend, and want to aid in confronting it.
I use the word atheist fundamentalist to differentiate them from the significant portion of atheists, probably the majority actually, who realize and admit that we still have a lot to learn about consciousness, who realize we don't know exactly what happens after we die. It is also effective in differentiating between between atheists who practice conversational intolerance in a civil manner, and those who consistently do not.
Some atheist's only hold fundamentalist views on one issue, just as some Christian fundamentalists only hold fundamentalist views on one or two issues.
Is atheist fundamentalism a bad thing? Probably not in comparison to religious fundamentalism. But atheist fundamentalists do have the potential to inhibit scientific progress because of their absolute certainty on some issues where science is clearly not certain, which is essentially scientific close-mindedness. Absolute certainty in areas where science is not absolutely certain inhibits scientific progress rather than encouraging it. And the atheist fundamentalists who engage in belligerently offensive rhetoric certainly give atheism a bad image, one that other atheists would like to improve.
I am not the first person to attach fundamentalism to atheism, though up until now it seems to only have been applied erroneously by opponents of religious critics, for the most part. Atheists fundamentalism isn't defined as strictly following a doctrine, since atheism has no set doctrine. However, having absolute certainty in something is dogmatic in nature, so atheist fundamentalist are dogmatic in nature. Its definition is applied to atheists who express absolutely certainty about something without the support of scientific evidence, which is also a trait of fundamentalism, and to those who engage in conversational intolerance in a belligerent, uncivil manner.

The EIA last week released a nice summary of planned additional U.S. pipeline capacity.The reversal of the Seaway Pipeline began last May to carry 150,000 b/d of crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to refineries near Houston. Last month the capacity was increased to 400,000 b/d, and a second pipe twinning the first is expected to bring the total capacity up to 850,000 b/d by 2014:Q1. At the same time, TransCanada expects the Gulf Coast portion of its Keystone Project to be completed by the end of this year with the capacity to transport an additional 700,000 b/d. Six other projects are planned or under construction that would bypass Cushing and could carry an additional 355,000 bbl/d from west Texas directly to the Gulf Coast by the end of this year, with 478,000 b/d added to that in 2014.

Established by Tollef B. Mönniche in 1922, purchased by Alfred Collins in 1957, and developed and currently operated by members of the Collins family, Finca Lerida is one of Boquete's oldest and most traditional Coffee Estates. Located in the Highlands of Boquete, at an altitude of 5,500 feet, on the foothills of the Baru Volcano, with its deep rich volcanic soil, this beautiful and traditional coffee estate offers optimum conditions for growing premium mountain coffee. The ample rainfall and sunny, dry harvesting season promotes ideal production of this Arabica. Mr. Mönniche designed and constructed the first "beneficio", processing plant, functioning with water and by gravity, and designed and patented a coffee siphon which would be used in "beneficios" throughout Central America and other countries in the world. Lerida´s owner guided coffee tour takes you from the plantation through the process, roasting and brewing, finishing with a cupping session.
The Los Quetzales trail unites the two communities of Boquete and Cerro Punta and is one of Panama's most visited and popular hikes, named for a particular species of bird called the Resplendent Quetzal.

The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

Sure, mineral make-up is fun, easy to use, and allows you create stunning looks ranging from natural to glamorous, but what makes PowderColorsTM different?
Flirtatious - very light matte pinkAngelic - sparkly iridescent pink with hints of lavender
Princess - very pale matte lavenderMoondust - super sparkly pale lavender with silver undertonesSpellbound - medium matte plum lavender with both pink and blue undertones
Gypsy - frosty sparkly medium champagne plumTemptress - sparkly deep plum with an aged bronze glow**NEW** Wicked - an intense steel grey with flashes of marine blue; very sexy!
Chai - matte pale very creamy coffeeSedona - true shimmery bright copperPassage to India - deep shimmery chocolate brown
Satin Sheets - the palest of sparkly peaches with gold highlightsSunset Strip - light to medium sparkly peach with pink highlights
Cloud Nine - pale silvery blue shimmerCastaway - bright shimmery turquoise blue
Celtic - pale antique green shimmerMartini - medium to deep shimmery khaki olive
Eye Shadow: Dip our shadow brush into the desired color, tap off excess and apply to eye lids. Choose a lighter color like Flirtatious or Chai to highlight the area just beneath the brow. Then add a medium shade like Gypsy to the lid and highlight the crease with a deeper shade such as Spellbound.
Eye Liner: Dip a fine brush into water, shake off excess and then dip the wetted brush into the color of your choice. Deep colors like Passage to India work best. Mix the powder and water on the back of your hand or the jar's lid to create a creamy liquid liner. Apply near the lash line of either the upper or lower lid (or both).
Lip Color: Dip your brush into a clear lip gloss, and then into the PowderColorsTM of your choice. Mix the powder and gloss together in a separate container to create a custom gloss color. Add more powder to deepen the color. Apply to lips.
Nail Polish: What could be more cool than creating your own custom nail polish color? Dip our Clear WaterColors Nail Enamel brush into the color of your choice and apply directly to the nail. Brush over the nail a few times to smooth out and disperse the pigment. Be sure to clean the brush between dippings so as not to color your bottle of clear polish (so you can use another color next time!) Finish with a top coat of Clear to seal in color.

Club competitions
National team competitions
17-18, 21-19, 21-20, 8-26
BCM Gravelines Dunkerque are on the verge of a place in the last 16 of EuroChallenge after an 83-67 road win over Tsmoki-Minsk.
The French side bust open a tight game with a dominant fourth quarter performance as they swept to victory, improving to 3-1 at the top of the group.
The two teams went into this clash level in the standings and they could barely be separated through the first three quarters.
When someone did threaten to break away, it was Minsk.
They led 25-18 on Aliaksandr Pustahvar's lay-up early in the second quarter - only to see Gravelines respond with a 10-0 run - and then 49-41 on Aliaksei Lashkevich's driving lay-up midway through the third, a lead again quickly wiped out as Gravelines scored seven straight.
Minsk were up 59-55 when Pavel Ulyanko hit a three-pointer late in the third quarter, but Yannick Bokolo's lay-up cut the gap before the buzzer and proved to be the start of a 12-0 run that had them up 67-59 on Sarra Camara's lay-up.
When Mbaye followed a three-pointer with a fast-break lay-up the lead had stretched to 72-61 and Gravelines were on their way to victory, ultimately outscoring Minsk 26-8 in the final 10 minutes.
Mbaye led Gravelines with 16 points while Bokolo had 14, David Noel and Dwight Buycks 12 each.
Ulyanko had 19 points for Minsk, with Lashkevich collecting 11.
BCM Gravelines player Abdoulaye Mbaye"It was not an easy game and it is really good to win it. Yes, it was a second game I have done very well, but this is my usual way to play. I try to be faster than my opponents and today I was."
BCM Gravelines head coach Christian Monschau"We are really happy to win this game. We came to Minsk without one of our leaders and were really afraid of their big center. Today he stayed on the bench."
Minsk player Aleksei Lashkevich"We wanted to win and we had an opportunity for it. However, we lost the last quarter and you can't blame one player for playing bad, our team did so."
Tsmoki-Minsk head coach Andrey Krivonos"We still have not lost our chances. But we are very upset to lose this game. The main cause is in our shooting guards. Unfortunately, they tried to shoot instead of organising the game."

We were there to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday, which is hard for us both because our birthdays are so close to Christmas. Hers is on the 19th and mine the 23rd!!!
Just a great resort with a great team that cares that you are having a great vacation, this was our 18th time to a Beache's / Sandal's I think that says it all!!!!
My wife, Gemma and our two daughters, Jamaica 9 and JJ 2, visited Beaches Negril during the Fall reunion week in October of 2012. From the time we arrived and were welcomed with open arms until the sad day we left, we had the most awesome 10 days. The resort is top notch and the staff and folks who work at Beaches are tremendous and they make it what it is, The Best. There is beauty around every corner, great food, drinks, snacks and carribean vibes. Staying here is next to paradise. We can't wait to return. Time and again.
Very enjoyable stay. We did not have to worry about anything. The Concierge Service is a must.
This was our second trip to this resort. We always meet pleasant people (staff and guests). The resort is clean and offers a lot of activities for our young kids (7 and 8y/o). The all-inclusive atmosphere makes it more enjoyable as we can freely dine, drink, and do things at our leisure. We also appreciated the nightly entertainment. The steel drum band was outstanding! We looked forward to the entertainment each evening and it was a great was to conclude each day.
I loved, after giving birth to two children in less than two years, the Nanny\'s. They would come find me (if the beepers didn\'t work) to let me nurse the 3 month old and then take her back to the nursery!!! They are the BEST EVER!!. It felt like the first break I had had in over 2 years!! The wrap around balcony suite rocked and we enjoyed sharing the advantageous room with the in-laws (the two other families we traveled with who had beach front rooms in the same building); they shared breakfast and mimosas and watched the sun rise, then later cocktails and the sunset. BEST days of my life by then (after traveling the world) - and the love and care my toddlers received SOLD me on the resort and we are planning yet another (6th?) trip (with family) this fall.

See, someone in the forum complimented me on quoting Emerson and I felt like a total phony, because the sum total of all I know of Emerson is "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string" and "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." I have a dim dark memory of being assigned "Self-Reliance" at some point in high school or college, but I'm not sure that I read it even then.
Cowles and one of his number crunchers found that, over periods ranging from twenty minutes to three years, stock indexes were ore likely to keep moving in the same direction in the next period (the opposite was true of longer periods). Before anyone could get excited about these patterns, they warned that "this type of forecasting could not be employed by speculators with any assurance of consistent or large profits.

I don't get "irrationally exuberant" about anything so perhaps this isn't a book for me.

Almost finished Kinsey and Me, by Sue Grafton. Should have read the second part first. The first part of the book is a series of short stories involving her fictional private investigator, Kinsey Millhone. ...The second part is a series of what I take to be intensely autobiographical stories, not told as straight autobiography in the first person however, about a young child growing up with two alcoholic parents. It is very very good, but so painful that I have to allow recovery time between reading one story and reading the next, one a day is about as much as I can take.

There's enough of an issue of "spoilers" that it's hard to know how to handle it. Plus I'm almost afraid to describe it because it sounds too silly. It's told from the point of view of a dog named Enzo. The author's slant on how to handle this kind of narrative is fresh and original, and I was able to suspend disbelief. The story is a little bit of a cliffhanger/soap opera but done with enormous conviction and believability. The "racing" in the title is auto racing--the dog's master is a part-time amateur racer with ambitions to come a professional. The book opens with Enzo aware that he is at the end of his life. Enzo likes to watch television, and apart from his direct contacts within his owner's family, his knowledge of human life is entirely derived from movies and television. The most poignant line in the book for me is "I learned that from a program on the National Geographic channel, so I believe it is true."gkaplan wrote:nisiprius wrote:Just finished The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein.

...which has been widely copied and adapted to other purposes. Steinberg' originals are beyond my means, but I'm fortunate enough to have two signed prints. His work is beautiful, baffling, humorous and amazingly original.
Steinberg was born in Romania, studied architecture at the Politecnico Milano, and fled to the US with the help of relatives when Mussolini started moving against the Jews more vigorously. He got American citizenship, an ensign's commission in the Navy, and an assignment as a "psychological warfare artist" in China for the OSS—all in one day. (It helps to have friends in high places.)
Fallible wrote:A longtime Steinberg fan here and am on a library wait list for the bio. What did you think of the book itself? As for Steinberg, I never saw a work more instantly recognizable or original than his (except for maybe Charles Addams). And he is always the subject of the great debate between cartoonists and artists or cartoonists/artists or artists/cartoonists on whether cartoons are art (in my book, they are, just not fine art).
