Do Not Listen To DMM Stooges Today And Co-Blogger Predictions
This was originally going to just be a predictions thread but Democratic Machine Media (DMM) hacks like Chuck Todd are already working hard to depress GOP turnout.
On Morning Joe he kept hitting the idea that Romney will have tough sledding because "half the swing state vote is in". First, that's likely not true. Second, if it is true it assumes a huge Obama advantage.
That's definitely not true.
Overall, early vote turnout OH up 2.44% in state. Down -4.1% in Obama/Kerry counties; up 14.39% in Bush/McCain counties.
All this talk about Obama's huge early vote lead is bullshit propaganda. I still think this will be very close in several key states (shocking!) and the race could go either way but what the Chuck Todds of the world are doing is simply what they've been doing for over 5 years...carrying Obama's water.
Ignore them.
Now, onto "staff" predictions:
RDBrewer: Romney 338- Obama 200
Gabe: Romney 267- Obama 271
Russ: Romney 466- Obama 72
Dave In Texas: "Chaos" (Ohio is the new Florida) also Romney 286- Obama 252
Andy: Romney 316- Obama 222
John E.: Romney 315- Obama 223
@reidepstein: VP pooler @mikememoli in Delaware: Is this the last time you will vote for yourself? Joe Biden: "No, I don't think so."
Biden 2016: Because The Lulz!
Oh and no news post from Ben today, he's working hard for Team Mitt today.
Last prediction: Obama will definitely carry the key swing-state of "Oiho".

UConn's eagerly awaiting NCAA's ruling on APR changes
Mar 22, 2012, 7:05 PM EDT
Connecticut's hoping the NCAA will make changes that'll allow the Huskies to play in the 2013 NCAA tournament – but it might have to wait until July to find out.
According to rules passed in October, UConn would be ineligible to compete in next year's tournament because its APR scores were too low to meet the threshold. The NCAA's Committee on Academic Performance has been discussing whether it should use data from 2010-11 and 2011-12 to determine eligibility, rather than 2009-10 and 2010-11. Schools must have a two-year APR average of 930 or a four-year average of 900.
But the committee may not resolve that question until April or even later this summer.
If the ruling comes out by April, it could affect the decision of numerous UConn players to enter the NBA draft, including potential lottery picks Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb.
"They don't give us updates until they rule one way or another," UConn spokesman Phil Chardis told the AP.
The school also wants a waiver regarding the sanctions, arguing its APR progress represents significant improvement. It scored 826 on the 2009-10 APR and says it'll score above 975 for 2010-11. A perfect score is 1000.

The final encounter in the latest series of Channel 4's First Date series introduced shopping-hater Joe to personal shopper Nicole (below).
The stylist, who bragged about the number of times she's been proposed to, confided to her blind date, "I don't know why but I've always fancied it - I would have loved to be Jewish."
Some critics may have been cold but Rabbi Stuart Altshuler had no hesitation recommending Woman in Gold to his Belsize Square flock this week.
The film is based on the story of Maria Altmann (played by Helen Mirren, below) who fought to reclaim from the Austrian government several paintings the Nazis took from her family.
New North London Synagogue treasurer Tony Bogod can smile, as a survivor of Graham Norton's big red chair.
At the end of his BBC chat show, Norton invites members of the public to tell a story. But most never reach the end, because if the presenter starts to get bored, he pulls a lever and dumps them unceremoniously out of the chair.
The taste of Israel is now toast of London. The Palomar, which opened last summer, won restaurant of the year in GQ magazine's inaugural food awards.
A Jewish educational event featuring John Galliano In London next month, has prompted complaints - but not because of the fashion designer's controversial past. Objectors thought the model on the original advert for the occasion (right) was a little underdressed; a more suitably attired replacement has been found (left).
There will be a lot of Jews dancing next Thursday - and nothing to do with the anticipated outcome of the General Election. It's Lag Ba'Omer, the festival which marks a break in the semi-mourning period of the Omer and a day on which weddings are traditionally held.
The dress code may not have said "blue and white" but Finchley and Golders Green Labour candidate Sarah Sackman's red cardigan prompted a glare or two at Finchley Synagogue's Israel Independence Day service - in contrast to the royally blue Conservative peer-to-be Ros Altmann.
Now Tom Archer in The Archers has been heard to say "shlepping", what next? They'll soon be kibitzing and kvelling in Ambridge.
Some of us become grumpy old men barely out of nappies; kvetching is a national sport. But we may be not quite as discontent as we think.
According to the Office of National Statistics, Jews are reasonably satisfied with their lives - less so than Christians or Hindus but more than Sikhs, Buddhists and Muslims.
When the Conservatives announced on Saturday that pensions expert Ros Altmann would be going to the House of Lords - and taking up a ministerial post if they were elected - she was unavailable for interview or photo ops with the PM.
The Finchley Synagogue member was out of media action because she keeps Shabbat.

In which G.M. Norton sees Colin Firth in a completely different light.
I had the pleasure of watching 'Kingsman - The Secret Service' recently, after a recommendation from a Norton of Morton reader.
In case you don't have the foggiest what Kingsman is, it is a spy-thriller starring Colin Firth. The description is thus:
'A super-secret organisation recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training programme just as a dire global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.'
The underlying message is that class is how you behave, not how you're born.

Recently, Wikileaks published a portion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Treaty. The leaked chapter was on intellectual property, and it demonstrates how the US Trade Representative must fix this portion of this massive treaty before it is signed to protect the free market from cronyism, and to ensure that we are not locked into imprudent policies.
The treaty process is in flux, so provisions can still change, but as drafted, the treaty has numerous significant problems for anyone with basic concern for the free market and Constitution– three of them are addressed here.
1. The treaty locks in international copyright terms at an absurdly long term, limiting Congress's ability to ever reassess copyright term lengths.
2. It makes any permanent solution on phone unlocking illegal.
3. And the treaty had been negotiated under unacceptable and perhaps unprecedented secrecy for a trade deal (specifically not including important stakeholders).
Economists and legal scholars have long complained about the current "life + 70" copyright term as being excessively long and causing economic harm; as a comparison, the Founders' copyright term was 14 years.
A copyright term length of life + 70 is clearly excessive. While there have been many studies on the matter, there is no empirical data that life + 70 is an appropriate copyright term length. Richard Coase, Milton Friedman and 14 other free market economists filed a brief explaining this "lengthened copyright term . . . keeps additional materials out of new creators' hands." Ultimately it results in "fewer new works" and "higher transaction costs in the creation of some works." The brief explained that life +70 was both inefficient and that it also "reduces consumer welfare."
Despite, or because, the conservative movement having been opposed to life + 70, now the White House is seeking to internationalize life + 70 copyright terms to ensure that we can never restore constitutionally consistent copyright.
Term lengths must be implemented, assessed and revised as is best for the economy; rather that locked in by special interest lobbyists through international treaty. Milton Friedman has referred to the specific terms of copyright as a matter of "expediency" to be determined by "practical considerations." Friedrich Hayek, known for his defense of property rights, called for "drastic reforms." Liberal interest groups goal is to usurp the policy making process so they never have to debate these issues in Congress.

Items by Pat Wray
Our rapid resource development has led to mass extinctions. Why don't we slow down?
Hunters, gun owners and NRA members need an articulate spokesman, but a loudmouth like Ted Nugent is not the ideal candidate.
A lifetime member of the NRA is skeptical of the group's paranoia about President Obama's gun-control plans.
Pat Wray is running for the board of the National Rifle Association because he believes it needs to start defending the wildlife and habitat that hunters need – not just the guns they use.
A group of hunters and fishermen visit Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) to ask him to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Lieberman-Warner bill to control greenhouse gas emissions.
Pat Wray loves hunting and agrees that off-road vehicles have their place, but, he says, hunting and ORVs do not go together.
A hunter and member of the National Rifle Association is angry at the way the group puts gun ownership above roadless areas, wildlife, and hunting

The Palestinians have asked the Obama administration to clarify a U.S. envoy's proposal to restart long-stalled peace talks with Israel indirectly by shuttling between the two sides, the Palestinian president said Saturday.
The talks collapsed a year ago during Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Efforts by President Barack Obama since then to revive them have failed in large part over the issue of Israel's settlement construction in areas the Palestinians want for a future state.
On Saturday, Abbas met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whose country has also served as an intermediary between Israel and the Palestinians, to discuss the new U.S. plan.
"We have asked the American side some questions ... and the answers will be discussed within a joint Arab framework and then we will announce our position," Abbas said.
The Palestinian president said in a meeting with reporters Friday night that he is optimistic the United States can push the sides back to talks. First, though, he wants clear guidelines on the offer by U.S. envoy George Mitchell to conduct shuttle diplomacy.
Peace talks that began in November 2007 under former President George W. Bush broke off in December 2008 with Israel's attack on Gaza, which is ruled by Abbas' rivals in the Islamic militant Hamas movement.
"I'm optimistic that the American administration is capable of doing something to bring about a breakthrough in the peace process," Abbas said Friday.
He made it clear, however, that the Palestinians were not willing to offer more compromises to get the process moving again.
The Secretary General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, said after meeting with Abbas in Cairo that discussions are "entering a new phase" which could signal renewed peace talks.
"The Palestinians are vigilant that there must be a time frame, and that issues must be jotted down on paper," he said. "We are very vigilant against any Israeli tricks."
The Palestinians insist first on a full freeze of Israeli settlement building in the West Bank. They rejected a partial 10-month freeze imposed in late November as insufficient because it does not include east Jerusalem, where Palestinians hope to establish a capital.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a conference Wednesday that he had reason to believe the talks could resume in a matter of weeks, though he gave no details.

Two Suns? Twin Stars Could Be Visible From Earth By 2012
2011-01-24 0:00
By Dean Praetorius |
Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily.
Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to
. Betelgeuse, one of the night skys brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time.
When that happens, for at least a few weeks, wed see a second sun, Carter says. There may also be no night during that timeframe.
The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. The explosion could also cause a neutron star or result in the formation of a black hole 1300 light years from Earth, reports news.com.au.
But doomsday sayers should be careful about speculation on this one. If the star does go super-nova, Earth will be showered with harmless particles, according to Carter. "They will flood through the Earth and bizarrely enough, even though the supernova we see visually will light up the night sky, 99 per cent of the energy in the supernova is released in these particles that will come through our bodies and through the Earth with absolutely no harm whatsoever," he told news.com.au.
In fact, a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth. According to Carter this "star stuff" makes up the universe. "It literally makes things like gold, silver - all the heavy elements - even things like uranium....a star like Betelgeuse is instantly forming for us all sorts of heavy elements and atoms that our own Earth and our own bodies have from long past supernovi," said Carter.
UPDATE: To clarify, the news.com.au article does not say a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth, but implies a supernova could be beneficial, stating, "Far from being a sign of the apocalypse, according to Dr Carter the supernova will provide Earth with elements necessary for survival and continuity."
UPDATE II: In a follow-up piece on news.com.au, Dr. Carter stressed that there is no way of knowing when the star may go supernova. U.S. astronomer Phil Plait added, "Betelgeuse might go up tonight, or it might not be for 100,000 years. Were just not sure."

`US school shootout a tragedy of unspeakable terms`
New York: Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy has described the shooting at an elementary school a "tragedy of unspeakable terms" that left 20 children and six adults dead in one of the most horrific incidents in US history.
The gunman, identified in local media reports as 24-year -old Ryan Lanza, was also found dead inside the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The shooting caps a year of similar horrific tragedies in which gunmen opened fire on unsuspecting citizens in a theatre in Colorado and a gurdwara in Wisconsin.
The shooting in the elementary school of 600 left 20 children dead, including two who were rushed to a local hospital.
Six adults were also killed by the gunman who is believed to have fired 100 shots. Among those dead is understood to be Lanza`s mother, who was a teacher at the school.
"Earlier today a tragedy of unspeakable terms played itself out in this community," Malloy told reporters outside the school.
"You can never be prepared for this kind of incident. A number of our citizens, beautiful children, had their life taken away from them as well as adults whose responsibility it was to educate and supervise those children," Malloy said.
Connecticut police lieutenant Paul Vance said the investigation is ongoing and said another person was found dead at a "secondary crime scene" near Newtown.
He, however, did not release further information but media reports said Lanza`s brother was found dead in an apartment. Vance said the shooting was concentrated in one section of the school inside two classrooms.

Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson (Newbery Honor 2008)
One rainy day, while having my hair done, I had the pleasure of reading a Newbery Honor book - Feathers, by Jacqueline Woodson.
Hope is the thing with feathers...
Frannie learned a new poem in school and it had got her thinking. What does it mean? I was stuck on that for awhile too - what does it mean?
This short story is set in 1971. There was a new boy in Frannie's 6th grade class and he was white. The kids took to calling him Jesus Boy and he has longer hair than the other boys.
The school bully decided to pick on him, of course, but Jesus was not one to just let himself be bullied.
You can tell that Frannie was torn about doing the right thing and making it easier for the new guy. She was after all, the new girl once too. She knew it was right to invite him to sit at lunch together - or during break. But she couldn't do it. Well, at least not right away. I don't remember the way I think when I was that young. Do kids really hesitate to approach the new boy or girl? Aren't kids normally curious?
Anyway. Frannie knew how to do hand signs because that's how she communicated with her older brother Sean. It looks like he is a handsome, and is really good at basketball. Girls always had smiles for him, but when they realize he couldn't hear them, they tend to walk away. Frannie hates that. She thinks they are stupid girls. But she knows it's just because they didn't know her brother the way she does.
At a very young age, Frannie understood that we tend to look at people who are different from us a certain way - but that's just because we don't understand everything about them. She had a conversation with her brother about bridges across two worlds. A bridge from the African American side of the tracks to the other. A bridge between the hearing and non-hearing world.
At first Frannie couldn't get that Sean sees her as already living in both worlds - the hearing, and the non-hearing world. Sean didn't want to be confined to just his side. He wants to be able to live the normal life too.
Their mother got pregnant, and this worried them a lot. She had had miscarriages before, and those experiences took her away from her living kids because of how sad she was. But this time was different. Mom was getting better and the baby was thriving. Frannie learned that there is hope.
Hope is the thing with feathers... It always comes. It flies around. Up and down. All it needs is the right timing, an upwind. And it soars again. Hope is like that. It is never truly lost.

Cancer is a Bitch by Gail Konop Baker
It isn't always easy - what do you say in front of a person with cancer? What do you say to her family? It doesn't matter what we say - unless it's about a cure. So I guess we shouldn't worry and just be there for them.
In one of the chapters, the couple goes to a dinner party and she notices how different some people treat her now - after the diagnosis. And it can get overwhelming. She welcomed this one person who didn't know yet because he treated her exactly like he used to. And I guess that is important too. Although we make them feel special, or let them know that we care about them - it's also important that they feel normal. Some kind of normal.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I tend to agree to other reviews that say it is more about the woman's midlife crisis, more than it was about the cancer. While I was reading, I kept thinking about the 5 year old girl from the book Notes Left Behind, another family's journey with childhood cancer. No two stories are alike, of course, and one's experience isn't more valid than another's. So it's not that I want to compare the two stories - but I can't help but recall Notes Left Behind because it so touched my heart.
I really don't think there is any family out there that is completely untouched by Cancer. Somehow, each one of us is related to or knows someone who has been affected by any of its form. What else is similar among these experiences? That feeling that life is suspended - until recovery, or death. But that shouldn't be the case, no? No one means for it to be that way, it just happens.
I guess when you set out to read a book that deals with a life-threatening illness, you expect to come out learning a lesson or two. About how we should live the life we are meant to live now, instead of waiting. And how our choices determine our future, but that ultimately, we aren't in control of everything. In it's own way, this book tells you that, and a bit more.

Save Me by Lisa Scottoline
Rose McKenna went from stay-at-home Mom, to volunteer Mom, and then Hero Mom. But very quickly, she also found herself in the middle of a controversy - and it was her family versus the whole town.
This latest novel from Lisa Scottoline isn't the gripping legal thriller like all her other novels that we've read so far. It took awhile for the story to warm up to me, but it eventually did. It wasn't as page-a-turner as Daddy's Girl was, but it doesn't mean that it's not worth your time.
Central to the story was social media and how quick we are to judge someone without listening to their side of the story. A few months back, I had it in my head to write a post with this title: I am scared of Social Media. I couldn't articulate it well so I didn't get around to writing that article, but I thought of it after we figured in a car accident. While I was sitting in the driver's seat, collecting my wits, I was also thinking about what the people passing by must think about me. After all, my car was upright and we were not injured. While the delivery van that slammed into me was on its side, with the driver bleeding with wounds on his arm. To an outsider, it would have been so easy to judge that it was my fault and that we caused the accident. But it really wasn't. And there was my hubby and his ill-temper raising his voice at the other driver and his companions. Remember Amalayer? I didn't watch her video and only learned the full story when they featured her on MMK. That's how harsh social media could be.
Another thread that got me hooked on this novel was how Rose's predicament was related to the problem of peanut allergies. No, her daughter wasn't allergic to peanuts.
Have you heard of anyone in the Philippines being allergic to peanuts? I don't know anyone who is. And I'm pretty sure we don't have training that tells teachers to have kids with such allergies eat away from the general population. It sounds like a really challenging situation to have to deal with. Like we saw in the movie Horrible Bosses, simply touching an empty zipLock container of Peanut Butter Sandwich may cause a lethal allergy attack.
I've seen those on chocolate labels and labels of other food products, something that goes along these lines: "produced on equipment used to manufacture nut products." I never used to pay attention to them, but reading Save Me, I realize that those labels are life savers. And if companies fail to disclose that information, they could cause many deaths.
But Rose's near encounter with death, or the death of her daughter, wasn't because of peanuts. It was because of an explosion that causes a fire in the school cafeteria. Now that's all I'm going to say about it. You'd have to read the book to know more. :)

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
I'd been seeing Nick Hornby's books before and I've always known that High Fidelity was what the John Cusack movie was based on. I don't know why I never got around to reading it. And when I did read it, I have mixed feelings about it.
Rob Flemming owns a record store. Is that what he's wanted to do all his life? It was hard to tell. It's actually hard to tell if he knew. In fact, it doesn't seem like he knows much about what he wants out of life. Reviews of this book have him described as a spectator on the sidelines, Laura (the girlfriend that recently dumped him) says that he's not living his life, and that he's forever waiting for what's going to happen. He cannot commit to anything or anyone because his afraid to miss what else might come along. Do you know anybody like that?
Typical guy, huh?
I think I didn't take to this book right away because Rob was really a loser. And not an endearing loser at that. He was a snob who judged people based on their record collection. OMG. What would he think of me? I don't have a proper record collection, and I don't really have a top 5 of anything. Really. I thought of myself as a music lover (a long time ago) and I still do love music, I'm just not into remembering everything all the time and not into making lists (did I just justify myself there?). That's how crappy Rob made me feel. Hah!
Oh well. Watching the movie was better. I'm not saying that I liked the movie version over the book lest book lovers the world over wage war against me. It was a better experience for me though because I'd already known the characters, and I like John and Joan Cusack. I also liked that Jack Black played Barry, Rob's annoying staff at the Championship Vinyl.
It was a sign of how much Laura understood and loved Rob that she was able to do something for him that Rob really liked – deep down inside him. He would probably never have realized it for himself, or if he did, he might not have done anything about it. Bringing back the Gaucho for Rob to DJ was a great idea. Owning a record store turns out be one of the top 5 jobs ever. He was living a life he wanted after all, he just had to realize it.
Now let's look at my life. I'm a senior manager at a BPO. Was this was I thought what I'd end up doing? Definitely not. I used to want to be a rebel. To go up the mountains, take arms, and fight for liberation. Things changed. I got involved in the Children's Rights movement and I thought that that was going to be my life's work. Things changed again. And ten years later, here I am somewhat successful in a career path I never thought I'd take. Am I happy? I'd have to say yes. Would I rather do something else? A month and a half ago I'd have said YES! In fact I was on my way to discover for myself what that something else was going to be. But things changed up at work and I'm busy again and liking what I'm doing. So I guess I'm staying put for now.
All that's left is to have a Gaucho revival for me. I need an event or an activity that would make me feel that all those years haven't been wasted. That I am making a contribution to the world. Now what could that event be? But seriously, even without one, I think I'm good. I have no doubt that what I do daily actually impacts other people's lives in a big way. Or something. Hah!

Paano Ba 'To?! by Bianca Gonzalez
What do I not love about this book? Maybe it's the fact that we are nearly the same age (I'm likely two to three years older than her), or that we were both December 2014 brides, or it could be because I watch her so much on TV, but I found her words relatable. Her intended audience seem to be the younger girls – late teens, early twenties – but that doesn't stop me from smiling and recounting my own experiences as I flip through the pages.
The book has eight chapters: Family, Friendship, Love, Career & Money, Failures, Fashion & Beauty, Purpose, Self. Each chapter starts off with a Q n A, and then followed by Real Stories. Then there will be something from a celebrity/ies, before closing with 10 Things from Bianca that's specific to the topic. At the end of each chapter is a page where the reader can become part of the book: there is a prompt and ample to space to write. I think I love that about the book – along with the sticker sheets. Soon, I will be using those prompts for blog posts over at Verabear.Net. Watch out for that.
Each chapter, and all over the inside front and back covers, you can find quotes and hugot lines. Kudos to the author for getting calligraphy artist Abbey Sy to work with her. Apart from the wonderful type found all over the book, the doodles (I assumed they are the author's own) all over encouraged me to write on the book too. Maybe it's because of all the marginalia from the book I read before this one (Ex Libris), but it just felt right to react real-time by writing down my thoughts on the white space around the text.
There is not much more to say, in terms of a review, other than to recommend it for others to read. I think that there is so much we can already learn from other people's experiences and if it saves us from having to make the same mistakes – then that's the real bonus.
One more reason to recommend this book to young women is that she sounds and feels genuine. Authentic. She owes up to the celebrity status, but she also uses that status to spread good. She does not try to convince us that she was perfect as she was growing up, and definitely didn't try to come off as if she knew exactly what she was doing. That's what makes her credible. She experienced life the way many of us did/do. Throughout the book there is also the sense of gratefulness – she acknowledges that she has been given a lot of opportunities and that what she has achieved now is a combination of her hard work, and the help of others around her.
I really like her, I like her example. And I would love for my nieces to get to know her thru this book, and maybe have her as one of their life pegs. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with absolutely everything that's mentioned in the book, but I support the overall message that it tries to convey.
I do hope she writes another book, although I'd imagine I'd get bored if it would be exactly the same. As a follow up project she should release the type art that served as dividers for the book. I actually want to tear them off now and hang them in frames. (I just looked at the new Get To Work Book by Elise Blaha and her calendar page illustrated text are perforated so you can easily detach and hang as art print! That's exactly what they could have done with the lovely type pages on this one.)
Congratulations to Bianca Gonzalez-Intal on the success of her first book. I believe it's been reprinted. In fact, I'm really happy about the local publishing industry as a whole. There's been a number of books released recently that out sold really quickly. And it's nice to see people at work toting a familiar book and reading during breaks. I have at least two more locally published books on my list to read. Make Your Nanay Proud was something I really enjoyed flipping thru earlier this year. Truly inspiring.

Where do you find the time to read?
And I know that there are many of you out there, who are just like me who often say:
So many good books. So little time.
Where do you find time to read?
I'd love to read, but I just don't have the time.
Was I busy? Stressed at work? Preparing for a big life event?
No. Not really. And, Yes.
My days were full, so I guess I was busy in a way, but it doesn't feel like I was too busy I couldn't pick up a paperback. In fact, I picked up a new game - FarmVille 2 on the iPhone. I also spent lots of time with my Loom Bands.
There were days when work was stressful, but it's a far cry from three or so years ago when I was spending long hours at work. Last year was actually the first time things got lite. So no, I can't blame work for not having had time to read.
Yes, I got married last year! But no, the wedding preparations didn't make me too busy that there was no time for an ebook or no space for a book in my bag.
So what is one to do?
MAKE time to READ
- Read a few pages at the waiting area at your doctor's appointment, or anywhere you need to wait in line.
- Scan a few lines while your food cooks
- A chapter or two during your commute to and from work
- Read while the little one watches Hi-5 or is busy building a tower, or setting up a road rally.
- While the husband is out shopping, I read in the car, or at a cafe. He doesn't need fashion advise from me (be sure to regulate the cash he has on hand!)
Don't force it
Have more than one book accessible to you
Setup your reading space
Challenge yourself

Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
Have you ever heard of a Traveling Book? I am a member of The Filipino Group on Goodreads and we currently have three of them. Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman is the 3rd traveling book, but the first one I've been fortunate to receive and read.
It took me five days to finish the 162-page book, but I probably would have finished sooner if I really wanted to. This is a collection of essays and each one, to me, was relatable. So relate-able that I was compelled to write a response to the essay, or to the marginalia from previous readers.
As you will see in this photo, readers before me have enriched the book with their comments. I followed suit and enjoyed the exercise. Truly enjoyed it.
Ex Libris is a book about books and reflect much of how I feel about reading, and about my books. As for my own confession, there was a time that I was wont to be jealous or envious of the kind of books in Ms. Fadiman's library. I am not as acquainted to the classics as I would like to be, and much of the authors and great writers she mentioned I have never read. Does that mean she is a better book lover than me? Is she a better reader?
I quickly corrected myself. As much as there are body image issues, it occurred to me that there may be, among book lovers, a book collection image issue. No matter what trash one might find in my library of books, if I choose to keep it in my library, then it means that in one way or another, that book struck a chord in me. So perhaps I should also rethink about my tendency to look at another's collection of books only to turn up my nose at all the Tagalog romance novels I see there. Just because I don't read those books means they are not good ones.
Our home is overflowing with books. One thing that needs to be done is to curate our growing library. In the book, Fadiman wrote about the marriage of her library to her husband's. In my case, it won't be a difficult marriage. Alfred, my husband, is not as much a reader as I am. Still he has gathered a small collection of photography books and magazines, along with some graphic novels and short stories by Filipino writers. My parents are readers, but they have long learned to part with books they've already read. Perhaps it's all the moving we've done thru the years.
Already on my wish-list of home improvements is to curate our book collection.
- List all the titles in every nook and cranny of our two-storey home.
- Categorize between keepers and non-keepers.
- Find the proper home for the keepers in the limited shelving available.
- As for the non-keepers, that is yet another project to undertake. List them for friends to freely choose from; sell them for a bit of profit; or leave them on the sidewalk; or build a little free library and put them on display. Non-keepers don't mean bad books, they're just not going to be part of our collection because we have to admit that we can't hold on to every book and magazine we buy.

We asked Higgins for seven tips to make delectable, sinful treats and she did us one better with a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Mini Muffins.
1. Stock your pantry with the basics for easy baking substitutions.
Higgins recommends keeping rolled oats, pure maple syrup, applesauce, ripened bananas, and cacao powder on hand as vegan baking basics. Her sweetener of choice is stevia, specifically the brand NuNaturals since she feels it doesn't leave any aftertaste. Higgins opts for spelt flour instead of whole-wheat pastry flour, since spelt yields much lighter-tasting baked goods.
2. Bake with natural, quality ingredients.
Higgins always uses whole-grain flours in place of white flour. She sweetens with natural ingredients such as fruit, stevia, cinnamon, and other spices as much as possible. Instead of relying on hydrogenated fats, she incorporates healthy fats from nuts, nut butter, and oils.
3. Reduce the sugar in recipes.
In Higgins' many experiments in the kitchen, which she calls her science lab, it's all about trial and error to create your new favorite dessert. For a healthy flavor boost, add a bit of cinnamon or vanilla extract. Also, try cutting back on the sugar in a traditional recipe, or experiment with natural sweeteners such as stevia or xylitol.
4. Invest in the right kitchen gadgets.
One budget kitchen tool that Higgins highly recommends is her $40 Magic Bullet blender. She uses it often and finds that it's great for small-serving recipes. For a do-it-all machine, she suggests a Cuisinart food processor, which can be a bit pricier, but is worth the investment. For some recipes (such as the Cookie Dough Dip), a food processor works much better than a blender.
5. Be a chocolate snob.
Says Higgins, "Don't settle for any old chocolate desserts; eat something you really love and enjoy it! Pay attention to the distinct flavors and texture with each bite. Don't mindlessly stuff your mouth while you watch TV. If you're kissing Prince Charming, you're not thinking about American Idol. Chocolate should be the same."
6. Pair pumpkin with chocolate.
Pumpkin pureé, rich in vitamin-A, is a great low-fat addition to any chocolate recipe. Higgins swears by her Chocolate-Pumpkin Pie Brownies as a great "sneaky" dessert for hard-to-please people who may be resistant to trying vegan baked goods.
7. Find inspiration in unlikely places.
Higgins gets inspired by specific flavors such as pumpkin pie, then she'll brainstorm different types of foods such as pancakes, doughnuts, oatmeal, and more where she can utilize that flavor profile. She even gets inspiration from standing in line at the grocery store, looking at candy bars and Taste of Home recipe booklets.
Now that you're dying for some sweets, we offer you Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Mini-Muffins that promise to remind you of eating the batter straight out of the bowl. If you'd love to see your favorite dessert made-over on Chocolate-Covered Katie, post it in the comments section, and hopefully she'll transform your suggestion on her blog.
