For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Our natural inclinations would have us believe that individual actions, whether errors in judgment or extravagant demonstrations of bravery, generally do not affect the course of human history.
After all, we cannot point to one individual's act of heroism that accounts for the outcome of World War II. And even without Sergeant York, whom history regards as an incredibly brave soldier, the Allies still would have won World War I.
One cannot imagine what a single individual could have done to prevent the Holy Roman Empire from collapsing when it did; and despite the bravery of many Confederate soldiers they could not change the outcome of the U.S. Civil War: the South had to lose.
Superficially, at least, it would seem as though history marches on impervious to the private choices individuals make or fail to make.
But yet, when we really think about it, there are those occasions where one person's actions have indeed mapped the course of human history.
The more obvious cases are extreme, criminal or evil. Consider the assassination of President McKinley by Leon Czologosz in 1901. From the (theoretically) simple act of an on-target shot the next three presidencies were all but determined. Theodore Roosevelt became president and pursued policies completely unlike those McKinley would have, which led to the election of President Taft and then to the election, in a political backlash, of the very intellectual President Wilson who led this nation into its first world war.
It is easy to see the domino effect here and it is reasonable to conclude that the history of the United States was changed for decades by one bullet.
That actions as extreme as assassinations and terrorist attacks can impact the fate of a nation is not particularly surprising. Indeed, it is often the case that those who commit such atrocities do so precisely because they want to bring about a substantial change – Yigal Amir's assassination of Prime Minister Rabin is but one of many examples of this.
So individual acts of evil sometimes do change the course of the world.
But personal choices, even when no larger effect is intended, can also change the course of a nation's history.
Case in point: Twelve years ago, on February 28, 1997, President Clinton had one of his intermittent encounters with Monica Lewinsky, though this was one that would prove fateful and that he admitted to regretting almost immediately: "I was sick after it was over and I was pleased at that time that it had been nearly a year since any inappropriate contact had occurred with Ms. Lewinsky," he later said. "I promised myself it wasn't going to happen again."
One might ask what difference Clinton's reprehensible though private conduct made on our national destiny. Certainly his wife and family suffered from his behavior, but people routinely succumb to temptations that adversely affect their families and we do not brand their indiscretions a matter of national import. But sometimes such actions have substantial repercussions. This was one of those times, and it has shaped America's destiny since.
It was that February 28 encounter that would make Lewinsky's navy blue dress a household word, leading to Clinton's impeachment, which in turn forced the Democratic presidential hopeful in 2000, then-Vice President Gore, to distance himself from Clinton, a decision that ultimately deprived Gore's campaign of Clinton's active campaigning in areas of the country where his popularity remained undiminished.
Gore lost every Southern state in the 2000 election, including his own state of Tennessee and Clinton's home state of Arkansas, and President Bush became president in an election so close it was essentially decided by Supreme Court fiat.
The Bush presidency, and the backlash against it, led to the election of our current president, Barack Obama, who stands in near total contrast to Bush in both style and substance. We see that all of this is a just ripple surrounding one fateful indiscretion by Clinton on February 28, 1997.
History could just as easily have come out differently. Had Clinton turned away from his encounter with Lewinsky (as he said he struggled to do), few doubt that Gore would have become president in 2000. These past eight years would have been completely different (maybe better, maybe worse; who really knows?) and the uniqueness of the president elected in 2008 might well have been that he was a Jew, Joe Lieberman – who would have been Gore's vice president for two terms and the obvious Democratic presidential nominee in 2008.

Israel – the land and the nation – lost a giant earlier this month with the passing of Justice Menachem Elon, a monumental talmid chacham who served on the Israeli Supreme Court from 1977-1993, and as its deputy president from 1988-93, bringing a deep Torah viewpoint to the highest tiers of the Israeli judiciary.
We know that genuine halachically viable solutions to the agunah problem are hard to come by and might not even be within our grasp. But we also know the agunah problem can be functionally solved in practice, even if not in theory, and the solution is clear and obvious.
This short essay will develop five critical points for responding to the voices within the broader community that seek to accept and legitimize homosexual conduct, an activity that directly contradicts the dictates of halacha.
You may applaud the idea of ordaining women rabbis, or you may recoil in horror at the prospect, but the simple fact remains that women already serve the Orthodox world in clergy-like positions.
Our natural inclinations would have us believe that individual actions, whether errors in judgment or extravagant demonstrations of bravery, generally do not affect the course of human history.

Publisher's Description
Meg's childhood flirtation with a boy on a neighboring estate turns to true love early on. When he is called to follow the Lord and be a priest she turns her back on both the man and his God. Slowly, though, both woo her back through the heady times of the English reformation. In the midst of it, Meg finds her place in history, her own calling to the Lord that she must follow, too, with consequences of her own. Each character in the book is tested to figure out what love really means, and what, in this life, is worth dying for.
Though much of Meg's story is fictionalized, it is drawn from known facts. The Wyatt family and the Boleyn family were neighbors and friends, and perhaps even distant cousins. Meg's brother, Thomas Wyatt, wooed Anne Boleyn and ultimately came very close to the axe blade for it. Two Wyatt sisters attended Anne at her death, and at her death, she gave one of them her jeweled prayer book—Meg.

To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn ~ Book 1 in the Ladies in Waiting series by Sandra Byrd, 2011
Author Sandra Byrd has written a very thorough account of the Tudor period under the rule of King Henry VIII through the eyes of Anne Boleyn's trusted and truest friend, Anne (Meg) Wyatt, her childhood companion and wardrobe mistress at Court.
I liked the first person telling as only a dear friend can; one who is an honest and forthright teller of day-to-day happenings and conversations. Historical fiction is my very favorite genre. Are we to repeat history or reclaim what is rightfully ours? A choice to be made, for sure.
In this telling of Anne Boleyn, I liked Meg and her character very much. She rose above a mistreated home life to become very valuable in following a calling she believed was hers. In putting her life solely for the betterment of her friend, in servitude, she gained a worthy stand above reproach. Trust and fidelity brought her a remarkable outcome.
Notice the necklace on the cover of this novel! Anne Boleyn, whether innocently or contrived became entangled in the life of Henry VIII, a villain in his own right ~ possibly starting out with good intent but becoming ensnared in his own deceit and power. During this time, the Tyndale New Testament of the Bible was being printed in English. Secret meetings during the English Reformation were attended not only by those in agreement, but by those wishing to stand by the king and his rulings. Anne sought to set in power those with alliance to the reform; Henry wanted to affirm his sovereignty. He passed acts beneficial to himself. Seeking a male heir, he found ways to dismiss his wives.
Included are listings of Family Trees showing their connection to each other within the story; author notes, research sources, reading group guide, and author Q&A.
***Thank you to author Sandra Byrd for this copy of To Die For: A Novel of Anne Boleyn and the insight of the Tudor period. This review was written in my own words. No other compensation was received.***
Anne Baxter CampbellWillows, CAAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Historical Accuracy Woven into the StoryAugust 30, 2012Anne Baxter CampbellWillows, CAAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Sandra Byrd is an accomplished writer of historical fiction, and this novel based on the life of Anne Boleyn and her friend and confidant, Meg Wyatt, is a fine example of that polished writing excellence.
How deep is your friendship with your closest friend? Would you walk with her (or him) through high places and danger, through life and the path to death? Meg chose to remain Anne Boleyn's friend even when her friend made terrible choices. Many people make unwise choices, and Anne's choice to become Henry VIII's second wife was one of those. Carried away by King Henry's charm and believing his lies about his first wife, Anne Boleyn waits for Henry's machinations to put his first wife aside to become complete. They marry, and Anne becomes the queen.
As the queen's closest friend and confidant, Meg's star rises with Anne's and crashes as Henry becomes discontent with his beautiful wife's inability to give him an heir. Meg prays for her, rejoices with her, and despairs for her, as a true friend should always strive to do. So many of us give up on friends as they disappoint us--but Meg didn't desert her even when Anne treated her with disrespect.
Anne Boleyn's story has always fascinated me, and it's been so fun to learn more about her and become acquainted with Meg Wyatt, the friend who continued to succor her doomed companion all the way to the tragic finale.
Thank you, Sandra, for a heart-wrenching and -warming historical fiction with amazing attention to details of history during that period of the Tudor reign.
Army MomAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5May 9, 2012Army MomAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I love anything by Sandra Byrd. I love her writing and her thought process. This book was not so much about Anne Boylen, but about her best friend Meg Wyatt which I thought was a wonderful twist. I loved the interaction between the two friends, there was peace and war with them which I think is very realistic given the setting of HenryVIII court.
The only complaint that I have is that I couldn't find God or Jesus or any mention of faith. If there was I didn't see it, and I keep looking. But it was a well researched, well written book and I don't think that you will be dissapointed.
FaithSDAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A MUST READ!November 8, 2011FaithSDAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I have heard so many beautiful things about this book, I knew that I had to read it. To Die For is in my mind the perfect Historical novel. Rich in detail, and characters, this book was nearly impossible to put down yet at the same time I want to just sit back and enjoy it.
Meg Wyatt is the faithful friend to Anne Boleyn, the 2nd wife of Henry VIII, and the mother of one of England's most memorable monarchs, Queen Elizabeth. To Die For chronicles the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn to power and back down again.
Many books fiction and non-fiction alike both like to paint Anne as evil or as a witch, so I was glad to find a book that portrayed her more realistically. The historical accuracy and believability was spot on for me, it read like a novel, yet I learned things at the same time :)
Meg was a very easy to relate to character that I quickly connected with. I experience what it was like to be in the court of Henry VIII all through the pages of this book. It was an absolute pleasure to read!
One of my favorite Christian heroes has always been William Tyndale, and I was happy that his work was not ignored, in fact, the effect of that his explosive translation of the New Testament had on the Christian world.
Overall this is a book I would highly recommend to lovers of Christian Fiction, and Historical Fiction, or anyone who loves a well woven story. As I read it quickly became a favorite and is probably one of the best books I've read this year. This book is a MUST READ!
Final Rating: 5.4 out of 5
CKendall5 Stars Out Of 5To Die For by Sandra ByrdSeptember 6, 2011CKendallQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Before I launch into this book review, I need to go ahead and admit that with my limited writing abilities, there is no way I will be able to do this book justice. I honestly wasn't sure if I would like this story or not, but there were two reasons I wanted to read it. First of all, I love Sandra Byrd's books. I read her entire French Twist series and it has remained one of my favorite fiction series. Also, I wanted to read this book because my roots go back to northern England. In fact my dad was born in Hexham, so my interest in the history of this part of the world is pretty high. I have never known much about Anne Boleyn or Henry VIII, just the basics of what history tells us. I was interested to read a novel about Anne Boleyn written by someone who actually took her time to thoroughly research these people, places and the time period. So, I opened To Die For and found myself swept into a world and story far beyond my wildest expectations.
I started reading this book like I do any other book, but soon found that I was reading a story that I fell in love with. There were so many factors that caused me to have such strong feelings about this book. For one thing, Sandra's writing was absolutely flawless. She did something that few authors, in my humble opinion, can do. She used authentic language to the place and time when the characters were speaking without slowing the story down. I usually find that to be a distraction, bordering on a pet peeve when I'm reading a book, but Sandra managed to make it work flawlessly and the book moved at an even pace and remained authentic.
The story was incredible as well. The loved the strong bond between Anne and her best friend Meg. It was refreshing to see that despite Anne's rise to becoming Queen of England, she remained true to her friend and her friend remained true to her right up until the end. We all know how this story ends, but there were still some nice surprises that helped this book come full circle to a satisfying ending. I don't know exactly what all was fact and what all was fiction, but I just loved the story too much to get hung up on the details. There is an intensity to this story that builds steadily throughout and makes this book so engaging and hard to put down.
What else can I say about a book that was everything good literature should be, and then some? To Die For is one of those books that stays with me, even now, a few days after finishing it. I would like to read it again someday because I'm sure there are some details I missed on the first read. But, until then, I will simply cherish this book as much as I cherished it while I read it. I can't recommend this book strongly enough. It is going on my short list of all-time favorite books. Thank you Sandra for telling Anne's story. Any reader will see that this book was truly a labor of love and should be savored and cherished.

County Judge Dale Freeman says the only other alternative is shipping the current inmates to other counties, which he says would "bankrupt" the county. The Sun Newspaper reports that Arkansas Jail Standards Coordinator Danny Hickman appeared at the meeting last night and told the 75 in attendance the current jail is a "ticking New Jonesboro police chief to be announced today By Johnathan Reaves • Sep 4, 2014 Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin is slated to announce the city's new police chief today. The Sun Newspaper reports the announcement will take place during a press conference at one this afternoon in the police department's training room. Perrin told audience members attending Tuesday night's Jonesboro City Council meeting that he believed he could make the decision quickly. The new chief reportedly already works for the city of Jonesboro. Perrin says he had considered candidates from Forrest City, Conway and the Arkansas State Police before he says he decided the best candidate was alread Announcement on the next Jonesboro Police Chief could come this week By Johnathan Reaves • Sep 3, 2014 Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin says he could make an announcement this week on which person will lead Jonesboro Police Department in the future. The Sun Newspaper reports Perrin told the audience at last night's City Council meeting the next chief may already be working for the city. He says there are qualified candidates within the department, and he tells the Sun he spent much of the Labor Day weekend reviewing the qualifications of the captains and lieutenants on the force to see who would be the best qualified for the position. Perrin says he will make a decision soon. Forme Murder-suicide in Jonesboro By Johnathan Reaves • Sep 3, 2014 Authorities are investigating a murder-suicide in Jonesboro. The incident happened yesterday morning when 17-year-old Diamond Ebron was gunned down in the driveway of her home in the 3100 block of Ashwood Drive. Police say the shooting happened just after ten yesterday morning. The suspect in the shooting, 26-year-old Kenneth Thomas of Jonesboro, reportedly fled the scene and was pulled over about ten minutes later on Arkansas Highway 226.

Greene County Jail administrator Dave Tierney tells the Associated Press inmates and visitors should be able to talk to each other via video starting September 3. He says the process will eliminate face-to-face visits. The new video calls will be available through appointments and will be recorded. The services are a key feature of the new 75,000 square-foot jail, which opened last month. Nearly 500 inmates can be housed at the new facility. The new jail is possible due to Groundbreaking set for Big River Steel By Johnathan Reaves • Sep 2, 2014 Groundbreaking ceremonies for Big River Steel take place September 22. The Blytheville Courier News says the event is invitation-only, and is expected to host numerous dignitaries, including Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe. Construction on the $1.3 billion project is expected to take at least two years. Once built, at least 500 workers will be employed, averaging salaries of $75,000. The project is moving forward, despite attempts to stop it from Nucor Steel in Blytheville. Nucor has filed a lawsuit in federal court, claiming the company is violating the Clean Air Act.

Applications are being accepted to those who produce food themselves, or make foods that come from small farmers. Agriculture Director Richard Fordyce tells the Associated Press the goal is to increase the amount of Missouri-made food that is served to students at breakfast and lunch. Application deadline is October 31 and grant amounts are up to $200,000. More information is available here.

The bus will make stops about every 30 minutes and will connect the neighborhoods and institutions in the vicinity of East Aggie Road and Airport Road, the new NEA Baptist Hospital, and the area around Pleasant Grove Road with Arkansas State University and the rest of Jonesboro. Ewart says the route has been planned for more than two years and will be available from 5:43 am to 6:09 pm. More information here: Pages« first ‹ previous … 3 4 5 6 … next › last »

The Space
This is a single bedroom in a postgraduate student house within a walking distance of the University of Birmingham and University train station (approx. 10 minutes).
The room has a single bed, a wardrobe with hangers, bookshelves, a desk and a foldable chair.
We provide fresh bedding, a towel, hairdryer, shampoo and body wash for your personal use. Please, let me know in advance if you have any special requirements.
The house is very convenient for anyone coming to the University of Birmingham. We're just 10 min. away from University train station and the main entrance of the University of Birmingham. We're also 6 minutes away from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The house is close to Harborne High Street, which features a number of restaurants, cafés, charity shops, a supermarket, mini-markets, a farmers' market on some Saturday mornings, and number of very good pubs, including The Plough, one of South Birmingham's most popular pubs! There's also an off-licence just around the corner, where you can buy milk, bread, fruit, etc.
If you're coming from Birmingham Airport, you need to take a train to Birmingham New Street (the central station) and then change to another train to University. The whole trip from the Airport takes about 30 minutes and is very comfortable.
You'll be sharing the house with 3 people in total (1 posgrad and 2 academics).
Please note that check-out is at 11:00 and the check-in is after 12:30. This will give me time to get the room ready. If you are arriving earlier or plan to leave later, please let me know in advance and we can work something out.
Guest Access
We have several appliances you can use to cook your own food. We have a blender, a toaster, a microwave, a fridge, an oven, a kettle, several pans, plates and trays. Of course we'll provide you with everything necessary to fix yourself a cup of tea or coffee.
You are also very welcome to use our washing machine and dryer so there's no need to bring lots of clothes.
Interaction with Guests
We love to chat with our guests, but we also try to adapt to their needs. If you feel sociable, we'd like to talk and hang out :) (unless we have a pressing deadline, work or some other commitments). If you need quietness and want to be alone that's perfectly fine, we don't mind!! We'd like you to feel as comfortable as possible.
The Neighborhood
The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Most of the residents are families, professionals and postgraduate students.
Getting Around
The house is very close to University train station as well as to some bus stops. There are several buses that stop at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which is 6 minutes away. They cover many routes and many of them can take you straight to town in around 15 minutes.
Note that there is no parking space outside the house, but you can park in nearby roads.
Other Things to Note
Please note that no meals are included.
If you have any concern or question, please send me a message!
Please let me know in advance at what time you'll arrive to guarantee a smooth check-in.

*If I'm expecting a guest I would appreciate if you could check-out at 11:00 so I can have time to prepare the room for the next guest.

I had a weeklong conference at University of Birmingham, and this was an excellent choice for my needs; an 8-minute walk to campus or the University train station. Provided directions were perfect. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and quickly responded to email inquiries. I had been traveling for a few weeks, and they helped me do a load of laundry. Bed was quite comfortable and everything clean. No air conditioning, but I slept with the window open and got a nice breeze. The neighborhood feels good, and there is a well-stocked convenience store within 2-minute walk, open from 6 am to 10 pm. The room is a second floor walkup and is petite; about 2.2 x 2.5 meters. I don't like plug in room fresheners, so just removed it and put it in a plastic bag. It would be fine to stay again, and I recommend it for convenience to the University and large hospital. Thank you for helping me with an enjoyable stay in your city!
Flor herself wasn't there while I was, but her partner Ivan was a very friendly and gracious host. For anyone needing a room in the Harborne / Selly Oak / university area, this is worth recommending, and I would be happy to stay here again.
I really had a nice time staying at Flor's house in Birmingham. Flor along with the other two people staying at the house, welcomed me in their home and treated me as a friend. Although I was at the university for most of the time, when I came home, we always had fun conversations and laughs. This airbnb is perfect for people looking for a quiet place to stay near the university or hospital. Although the room is quite small, it still feels like a nice and clean space. I would definitely recommend this room to my friends.
Ivan and Flor's house was the best house I could have had. I was with them for about 1 week while I was searching for a new flat, but in this short time they treated me like one of their family. It was the first time I moved to the Uk,and I didn't know almost nothing about the city,and I was also a bit scared.... so they helped me a lot for all needs, giving me useful advices and making me fell at home. The house is also pretty and with all the comforts inside. Is no easy matter the nearness to the hospital and to the University of Birmingham (5-10 minutes walk). I recommend this nice place to all the people coming in Birmingham. I'm sure here you will enjoy the stay!
Flor and her housemates are absolutely wonderful hosts and very nice folks. We talked about living in Birmingham and exchanged Icelandic music tips. Flor is truly kind and helpful. Plus I had a great night's sleep. My first AirBnB experience could not have been better.
Flor was an excellent and very conscientious host. She contacted me beforehand confirm what time I was arriving. The house was extremely clean. She had tea and coffee for me to during my stay, and also had an extra basket of toiletries available. There were also hangers and a space heater in the room. She was very friendly and I had some great conversations with her and her partner Ivan.
Nice room in a quiet neighbourhood close to uni. Flor was a very nice host.
About the Host, Flor
I'm currently teaching at Aston and I was a student at the University of Birmingham for a few years, so I know the city fairly well. I love travelling and learning about other cultures; so far my favourite cities are Venice, London and Paris, although I'm also in love with Oslo, Rome, Trieste and a few other mediterranean places. I have stayed in many AirBnBs and I have hosted many people, which has allowed me to make good friends around the world.
I really enjoy good food: especially Italian and Greek dishes, I'm always looking for the perfect moussaka! I can say that I'm a bit bookish: I'm a fan of Ken Follet and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I also love going to the theatre and to museums. My favourites are the Louvre, the Met and the Rijksmuseum.

I currently have two SQL statements that I'd like to combine into one, and set a status if it meets each one. I've posted some massively stripped down code below:
select * from database where date1 < SYSDATE
select * from database where date2 < SYSDATE
Ideally, I'd like it so if it meets the criteria in the first statement, it'd set a flag of 'status1' and if it doesn't meet that criteria, but meets the second statement's criteria I'd like to set a flag of 'status2' - hope that makes sense!
For example the data would be like: Name | ID | Status

UPDATE: Statement from Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado:
It is disgraceful that Republican Colorado Senators this session voted to leave low-income teenagers and young women without access to contraception that will help them achieve their goals and stay financially independent. Funding for the program expired today – that leaves a huge gap for hundreds of thousands of young women in Colorado.
The long-acting reversible contraception program (LARC) is recognized as a critical part of making Colorado #1 in preventing teen pregnancies (by 40%) and reducing abortions (35%). A relatively small investment of $5 million in LARC would have saved an estimated $50 million in Medicaid and public assistance programs.
The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment is searching for alternative funding to continue this vital service. Planned Parenthood is committed to supporting all programs like LARC that help teenagers stay in school and give them the opportunity to succeed.
A story from KUNC community radio last month announced that a highly successful program to provide IUD contraception to low-income women in Colorado would be renewed for another year, despite the refusal by Republicans in the Colorado legislature to authorize public funds to continue the program:
Despite state lawmakers failing to pass a bill to fund the effort, a program to provide long acting reversible birth control to young, low-income women in Colorado is being extended for another year.
The long acting contraceptives, according to state figures, have helped cut teen pregnancy rates in the state by 40 percent. Abortions have gone down too…
[Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment Executive Director Larry] Wolk does want to come back to the state Legislature in 2016 and try to get the $5 million needed to again fund the program through the state – and even expand it to more clinics that serve lower income young women.
"It's good public investment," said Wolk. "It's not fair that we have to keep going to the private or foundation community to fund something that is saving the state money." [Pols emphasis]
But according to a press release today from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the lack of public investment in the Long-Acting Reversible Contraception program is a problem–making the previous declaration of victory problematic:
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment continues to search for funding for its successful Colorado Family Planning Initiative. To date, there is engaged conversation and expressed interest, yet no firm commitment. [Pols emphasis]
"We are working closely with our partners who believe in this initiative to find the funding necessary to continue providing contraceptive choices to young women across Colorado," said Dr. Larry Wolk, executive director and chief medical officer for the department. "Making sure Colorado women have access to safe and effective contraception is an investment in their futures and ours."
There's reportedly still a possibility that private funds will come through to continue this program, perhaps on a reduced scale depending on how much they can get. But the situation could still affect single women in the interim if funding isn't locked in soon, and in either case illustrates the uncertainty involved with trying to fund an important public health program of this kind with fickle private contributions. As CDPHE executive director Larry Wolk says, this is a program that saves the state tax money in the end, so to refuse to fund it as Republicans in the legislature did this year was textbook pennywise and pound foolish.

Live life, be healthy, work hard and have...
Live life, be healthy, work hard and have fun…those are the things that I try to focus on in my life. Nothing complicated. I'm a NYC native, most attracted to a happy and honest woman who knows what she wants out of life. I love it when people have a passion for what they do every day, but still find a way to make time for the people that are most important in their lives. It would be great to find someone who shares my passion for getting outside and being active, but can also have fun at concerts or museums, and can show me a new thing or two as well. Even though I grew up here the city is constantly changing so there's always new places to see and explore. I enjoy surfing, listening to live music and traveling as much as possible, and see no problem going back to museums I've already been to. I played hockey in college, and currently several sports during the year but surfing and skiing are probably my favorite outdoor activities these days. My family is a very important part of my life, including my adorable, four-year-old niece. I never get tired of playing with her! I've traveled quite a bit and am constantly looking for new trips and places to see; even if its just hopping in the car for a long weekend skiing up north or riding out to the beach. Lastly, I can be pretty sarcastic at times, so hopefully you have a sense of humor and don't take it all too seriously.

Favorite spots would be Iceland and anywhere in Latin America, although Paris was probably my best trip ever. Would like to check out Panama soon.

Laughing, new experiences, being active, and time with family and friends are favorites. I also love NYC, surfing, sports (don't worry, I'm not a fanatic), and live music. As for TV shows, I like Discovery Channel, Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.
Traveling, live music, movies, museums, and getting out of my apartment whenever possible. Also, day trips, skiing, surfing, golf, wandering the city...There's just too much to do in this city than stay inside all day.

Dare to Donate
The internal project at Independents United started as a small app to help a colleague raise money for charity. After a hugely successful campaign I lead the rebuild to turn it into a platform anyone could use.
The service allows fundraisers to raise money by charging donors to vote for challenges. We were one of the first apps to use JustGiving's API and it continues to grow in popularity.
The realisation that user interface had become 'ordinary' set me off creating a website of experimentation to see whether or not we'd be using forms and message boxes for the rest of our internetting lives.
Using some new HTML5 features and a bit of jQuery wizardry I made a Bublie - a bubble-based pinboard. To add a pin (bubble) one simply drags images or links from other websites into a pinboard (bubble board), which is symbolized by a larger bubble that grows according to the number of pins it contains.
From there everything is taken care of. If a website is pinned Bublie will fetch whatever meta data it can about it and decide on the best way to display that content.
I needed a super quick way to implement fancy-pants page transitions so knocked together this jQuery plugin to do the job.
The plugin does the full paging shebang and works off window hashes to make linking easy. But the real magic is done with CSS3 animations; many of which the open source community have generously supplied.
Video Scroll
All Saints ran a campaign allowing their users to control the position of a video with a scrollbar but unnusually didn't use HTML5 Video. I wanted to see what would happen if you did, so put together this.
The technique they used to play the video was one famously used by Apple. Instead of using an actual video they extracted each frame as an image and used JavaScript to swap them out in turn. The benefit of this (apart from working seamlessly across devices) was a drastic reduction in stutter when seeking backward and forward.
Although my example works it's only on condition that the computer is capable and the video is WEBM.
Our client needed the ability to create all sorts of forms for a Facebook competition app.
BuildaForm is a heavy duty jQuery form builder and gives the administrator complete control over their form and the developer the flexability to add and modify inputs. In our case we made a new select input that pulled in each cinema in the UK.
We founded Techmog with the idea that we should be sharing what we're living while working in technology. At Techmog we're not just writers. We each have careers in engineering, computer science, audio production. This technical knowledge has become key at Techmog and because of it our writers have produced truly thoughtful and detailed work.
Being personally and geographically close to those in the tech scene means we're very quick to make a discovery. A base in London gives us access a big proportion of Europe's best startups and an interview is only a cycle away.

Trying to up my travel game! Looking for your best hacks/tips/etc... [more inside]
Please explain Disney World's new Fast Pass + to a former expert
We are visiting family in Orlando next week and would like to go to the Magic Kingdom and maybe Epcot. I have been to the MK at least a dozen times and used to know it like the back of my hand - I was a zen master of showing up early, grabbing fast passes on a need-to-ride basis, and basically winging it so we never felt rushed. This will be my first trip since they initiated the new FastPass+ system, and the more I read about how it works, the more discombobulated I get. [more inside]
Hacking my sad feelings about Christmas and passing of time
I generally love Christmas, and try to throw myself into it, but it brings up a lot of sad feelings (as I know it does for many people.) Specifically, my partner and I are in a shitty ongoing life situation that I keep hoping will be resolved but isn't, and two songs specifically set it off every year that it isn't resolved. Assuming the ongoing life situation can't be changed, how do I reframe my thinking about Christmas and the passing of time? [more inside]

Select Local Merchants
Jerry's Artarama Fairfield CountyRead MoreAt Jerry's Artarama, resident artists draw on personal experience and channel the shop's four decades in business to help create works in nearly any medium. Shelves bravely bear the weight of multitudinous tubes of paint ranging from traditional oil paints made from 150-year-old processes, to easy-to-use acrylic pigments. Artists can wield a Mejillo TruColor palette to serve as a launching pad for paints, or take up PrismaColor colored pencils to add vivid pigmentation to sketches. For more specialized projects, customers can stock up on the store's street-art supplies and screen-printing kits. Meanwhile, the framing professionals at Jerry's Artarama navigate a bounty of glass, mats, mounting, and moulding options to personalize the framing of photos, watercolor landscapes, and napping bats.
