Let's see how this goes. Indiana has a law defining marriage, but some people are worried that it is too easy to change a law. They want a constitutional provision.
Now the Legislature is under pressure to vote a second time on HJR 3 (aka HJR 6) to move a step closer to that constitutional provision. Unfortunately, the leaders of the two parts of the Legislature have discovered that they don't agree on the meaning of part of HJR 3. The proposed answer is another bill that clears up the meaning of HJR 3. If all this passes, we will have a constitutional provision that isn't clear and a separate law needed to tell what the constitution should mean.
But didn't this all start because it is too easy to change a law? Maybe this is what is known as moving in legislative circles.

Full detailed profile on Miranda Montgomery Played by Denyse Tontz on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
(Alberto Reyes/WENN.com)
Birthplace: San Diego, California
AJ and Heather bond over The Velvet Underground at Jane's Addiction. AJ invites Heather to come by the house later to listen to music before he leaves with Miranda. Outside, Miranda tells AJ that Heather is into her, and he is surprised. He hadn't thought about her like that before and thanks Miranda – she always has his back.
At the Chandler mansion, AJ and Heather hit it off while Miranda plays video games with the mean girls from her school. Later, Heather and Miranda get texts of a photoshopped picture of the two of them together courtesy of Hunter. Miranda urges Heather not to show anyone. Later, Heather admits to Miranda she likes AJ. As Brooke is cleaning later she is shocked by someone at the door.
Miranda and AJ arrive at Jane's. Miranda's friends blow her off so she sits with someone else while AJ gets coffee. AJ bumps into his teammate and apologizes for his father finding the drugs. He joins Miranda and her new friend Heather. Hunter makes an inappropriate joke aimed at Heather about Bramwell girls being lesbians and suggests maybe Miranda is that way. Miranda stops AJ from hitting Hunter. Meanwhile Billy Clyde interrupts a customer. Outside he threatens to send photos to the man's wife if he doesn't tell Billy where he's taking his business. The man gives him a business card. Later David has a TV crew setting up for a press conference.
At Jane's, Bianca invites Miranda to dinner with Zach later when she gets called to work. She offers to let Miranda stay with Opal while she's gone. Miranda believes staying at the Chandler's makes more sense and they argue about the night Marissa died. Bianca promises to work on her feelings.
AJ considers taking steroids in his room. Meanwhile, Cara helps JR with therapy downstairs. She asks for his trust. He quips about how he could trust someone he barely knows. She reminds him she trusts him with her life. Before she leaves he confesses to trusting her. Cara asks Dixie to keep him from over doing it. Later AJ finds JR looking at the steroids on his bed. AJ gets defensive. Miranda overhears them arguing on her way to the guest room. JR admits believing he didn't use and apologizes. He asks AJ to believe he's not the same man. AJ can't when his own grandfather doesn't believe JR. AJ finds Miranda downstairs and they leave.
At the Chandler's, AJ overhears Brooke telling Adam on the phone that she'll find out if JR is lying about not remembering. Miranda arrives worried about school and her kiss with AJ. Before leaving, Miranda wants them on the same page to keep their friendship. On the patio Cara helps JR back up from falling. Later JR meets Brooke dressed for the shareholder's meeting. Brooke's sorry to tell JR he's not welcome. After, Cara advises JR to stop the self-pity act. JR appreciates her advice and welcomes a second chance.
Hunter apologizes to Miranda at school and warns AJ about giving him trouble. Later, AJ worries about his chance as starting pitcher. His teammate's surprised AJ isn't juicing and gives him drugs.
At the Chandler's, AJ leaves Miranda alone with Bianca. Bianca argues she doesn't want Miranda around JR, and refuses to forgive or forget that he killed Marissa. She slaps JR when he arrives with Brooke and Dixie. AJ comes downstairs as Bianca unleashes her furry and hate on JR. JR lets her and apologizes for what happened even if he can't remember that night. He realizes he must have been a first rate bastard, but he's changed. Bianca finds that convenient. Miranda refuses to leave with Bianca. JR tries to make small talk, but AJ and Miranda go upstairs. Cara visits later to discuss helping with PT. He thinks she's there about David. Cara's hoping her and JR can be there for each other if needed. Upstairs Miranda apologizes for her mom and plays AJ a song. Their hug turns into a first kiss. Miranda quickly leaves.
In town Bianca's pleased Miranda has AJ. Miranda announces JR is awake. Bianca's angry and wants Miranda to stay away from him. Miranda refuses to bail on AJ. David finds Bianca alone and asks if they can share a moment for Marissa. They share their loss and love and David takes the time to blame JR for his part in it.
At the Chandler's, Miranda talks AJ into giving his dad another shot after Dixie arrives explaining JR feels horrible about what happened. They leave for the hospital. In another room, Celia tells Brooke she's been sneaking out of Bramwell to see Pete. They're surprised when Pete arrives with documents for Brooke. Alone Celia and Pete remember their last date and plan reservations for later.

Video: Ovechkin's goal streak extends to four games on bouncing puck
Oct 11, 2013, 12:10 AM EDT
After a couple years of falling short of expectations, Alex Ovechkin rebounded under Capitals coach Adam Oates last season. That's extended into the 2013-14 campaign in a big way with Ovechkin finding the back of the net in each of his first four contests.
He's just the third player in Capitals' history to open the season with a four-game goal scoring streak, according to the Elias Sports Bureau and CSN Washington. However, he needed a bit of luck tonight.
Ovechkin managed to knock Steve Oleksy's shot out of midair, which lead to some odd bounces. You can see the goal below:
That gives him five goals and seven points, but it hasn't been enough for the Capitals. They suffered a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes tonight to drop to 1-3-0 this season.
- blomfeld - Oct 11, 2013 at 12:36 AM
- throw82 - Oct 11, 2013 at 10:44 AM
He has ten more goals than assists in his career with the Caps. But yeah, that's "me me me."
And who wants their big goal scorer out there scoring goals? What a schmuck, right?. He should be focusing on the blue line like any smart winger would do.
- mdnjdevil - Oct 11, 2013 at 1:05 PM
Dude has probably been waiting weeks to use that video for something.
Anyway, to compliment the above poster…. Ovechkin has been the only consistent scoring threat on the team for the past couple of seasons. So if he is "Me,Me,Me", then so be it, because it is the all the team has.
- msmithkey - Oct 11, 2013 at 1:33 PM
Having 10 more goals than assist is the very reason why he is just "me me me". Look up the top goal scorers of all time. Gretzky, Hull, Dionne, Esposito, Jagr, Lemiux, etc. The list goes on and on and they all have a considerable amount more assist than goals. If you are going to use stats to argue the point better make sure to know what you are talking about first. Look at the top 13 all-time leaders for PPG. Everyone except 2 have more assist than goals (Bossy, Ovechkin).
- throw82 - Oct 11, 2013 at 2:32 PM
Okay, so Bossy was "me me me" too. The stats prove it, by your logic. I guess I was wrong.
- throw82 - Oct 11, 2013 at 2:35 PM
And lastly, just for laughs, it seems Ovechkin catches flack when he scores or doesn't score. Dude can't win. Scores and he's "me me me." Doesn't score and he's an overpaid, lazy Russian.
I'm out, have a good one!
- msmithkey - Oct 11, 2013 at 2:58 PM
I can't speak for Bossy as I have never watched him play. I can speak for Ovi though as I have seen him play a plenty. If he touches the puck he is shooting it. When he scores he is skating away from his teammates to celebrate by himself.
- mdnjdevil - Oct 11, 2013 at 3:29 PM
Really? Where do you get that from? I never see him celebrating by himself. I think you're just making stuff up now.
Your assist argument is invalid too. Good god, there have been plenty of snipers in the league past and present that are regarded as good team players.
There is also the intangibles of Ovechkin such as drawing double and triple teams when he enters a zone. It clears up ice/space.
Do you revile Bondra too?
- msmithkey - Oct 11, 2013 at 3:52 PM
You are correct, there are plenty of snipers in the league both past and present that are considered good teammates. Ovi isn't one. Do you think everyone is just out to get him for no reason? This argument is nothing new. There is a reason why people claim Ovi is a selfish player. I do agree he takes too much of the blame for when his team plays poorly though.
- rosettast0ned - Oct 11, 2013 at 5:24 PM
Ovechkin scores goals, last I knew that is what he is paid to do. So what I am hearing is that many of you want to take one of the greatest offensive talents in the game (love him or hate him there is no denying his ability) and stifle that ability by trying to turn him into a Patrice Bergeron type of player? Not everyone in the league can play a complete game like that, nor should they, its part of what makes the game so interesting. A team needs one dimensional players just as much as they need multi-faceted players, otherwise where is the diversity, where is the strategy, the creativity?
- blomfeld - Oct 12, 2013 at 11:52 AM
1 – 3 – 0 ?
last place in the "Metro" Division ?
yellow "girly" skate laces and a juvenile tinted "fighter pilot" visor ?
If anything says 'me me me' more than that, then I'd sure like to know about it ! The bottom line is that Ovechkin continues to tarnish the path which was trail-blazed by the many 'true' Russian greats who've preceded him … and that's a shame 😦
ps: videographic evidence of how a 'true' Russian great behaves when scoring a goal
- mdnjdevil - Oct 11, 2013 at 3:30 PM
I suppose Scott Stevens wasn't a good team mate because he was a one dimensional defenseman….
- babykaby - Oct 12, 2013 at 11:25 AM
There goes dumbfeld again, posting stupid videos and downing one of the best players in the league. He is an Ovechkin hater and always will be. If he honestly believes Ovechkin is a selfish player, then he obviously does not watch the Caps play. Once a blomfeld dumbfeld idiot, always one. His mom dropped him on his head eight years ago when he was born.
- babykaby - Oct 12, 2013 at 11:31 AM
Get a life dumbfeld blomfeld. It is time for you to move out of your moms basement.
- blomfeld - Oct 12, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Babykaby – So last time I was supposed to be a geezer in some old folks home, yet now you're calling me a child ? Here's the deal friend. There's nothing wrong with you being a sheep and a loyal member of a flock, etc. However try to always be 'cordial and polite' towards your peers, especially those of us who are 'not' four-legged like me. For as God knows, the world has little time for 'rude or ill-behaved' sheep !

July 28, 2015
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The CIA is acknowledging the existence of Area 51 in newly declassified documents.
George Washington University's National Security Archive obtained a CIA history of the U-2 spy plane program through a public records request and released it Thursday.
National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of Area 51 had been redacted.
Richelson says he requested the history again in 2005 and received a version a few weeks ago with mentions of Area 51 restored.
Officials have already acknowledged in passing the existence of the facility in central Nevada where the government is believed to test intelligence tools and weapons.
Richelson believes the new document shows the CIA is becoming less secretive about Area 51's existence, if not about what goes on there.

Course Objective: The main objective is to learn how to sing, demonstrating a reasonable command of vocal technique, language and stylistic accuracy, acceptable vocal quality and overall musical intelligence.
The following information will explain the requirements for this course – individual voice instruction. The objective is simple: to learn how to use your voice in the freest, most expressive manner possible. Voice training is a long, arduous process fraught with difficulties. However, amazing progress can be made if we work together to understand the natural physical laws which govern vocalization.
It is imperative vocal majors have a piano accompanist. We are very fortunate of have several very fine pianists who are willing to work inside and outside of lessons to help you become the best singer you can be. Try to get along without an accompanist. You will quickly find you will be severely hampered as a performer. Who will play for recitals, juries, and be available for lessons? The cost for this service is very reasonable. If you needed the services of a pianist in Dallas or New York, it would easily cost you $1000 a semester. Out accompanists charge less than any school I know of. When you figure out what our accompanists make, it is SLAVE LABOR. They do what they do because they love creating music, but they need to eat just like you do. The fee will be $200 per semester. The Junior recital will be an additional $50 and the Senior recital will be an additional $100.
Unfortunately, state regulations do not allow us to roll the accompanist fee into your tuition. So the only way we can do this is to have the pianist paid directly by the student. It is your responsibility to pay the accompanist at the beginning of the semester or work out a pay schedule and stick to it.
We are well aware that some of you have real financial difficulties, but the accompanist fee is a very small percentage of all of your financial obligations.
Two things will happen if you don't take care of this responsibility. 1. YOUR VOICE TEACHER WILL INSTRUCT THE ACCOMPANIST TO QUIT COMING TO YOUR LESSONS. 2. A HOLD WILL BE PUT ON YOUR GRADES SO THAT YOU CANOT ENROLL FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER.
Grading Policy: On the week listed below, you will be graded on a new song; if it is MEMORIZED and well sung, you get an A. If not, your grade will be anywhere from B to F, depending on my assessment of where you are on the piece. It should be obvious if you get even one F, you cannot possibly get an A for the semester.
Week of Sept 15- 1st song
Week of Sept. 29- 2nd song
Week of Oct. 13- 3rd song
Week of Nov. 3 4th song
Week of Nov 17- 5 song
ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to be present for all lessons. In the event of illness or unavoidable delay, please call my office(4242) before your scheduled lesson. Two unexcused absences will lower the final grade by one letter—four unexcused absences, two letter grades, etc. A student with excessive absences may be dropped from the course by the instructor.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Cheating, collusion, and plagiarism (the act of using source material of other persons, either published or unpublished, without following the accepted techniques of crediting, or the submission for credit of work not the individual's to whom credit is given). Additional guidelines on procedures in these matters may be found in the Dean of Students' Office.
DISRUPTION OF TEACHING: Disruption or obstruction of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, or other university activities authorized to be held or conducted on the premises of Midwestern State University. Such activity includes classroom behavior that interferes with either the instructor's ability to conduct the class or the ability of other students to profit from the instructional program.
INSTRUCTOR DROP: An instructor may drop a student any time during the semester for excessive absences, for consistently failing to meet class assignments, for an indifferent attitude, or for disruptive conduct.
OFFICE HOURS: If for any reason you need to talk to me out of class, please refer to the available office hours posted on my door.
SOCIAL JUSTICE: Social justice is one of Midwestern State University's stated core values and the professor considers the classroom to be a place where students will be treated with respect as human beings, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, political beliefs, age, or ability. Moreover, diversity of thought is appreciated and encouraged, provided the students can agree to disagree. It is the professor's expectation that ALL students be able to consider the classroom a safe environment.
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information that needs sharing, or if you need special accommodations in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible.
Federal privacy law prohibits me from releasing information about students to certain parties outside of the university without the signed consent of the student. Thus, in almost all cases I will not discuss your academic progress or other matters with your parents. Please do not have them call me. Regardless of these important legal considerations, it is my general policy to communicate with the students, not their parents even when a student has signed a consent form. College students are adults and are expected to behave accordingly.

Crash in RecipesV1 on adding first recipe
10 Dec 2012, 09:47
Markus Dommann (1 post)
I opened RecipesV1 with Xcode 4.5.2 compiled and run, pressed the button '+' and got this:
CoreData: error: Serious application error. Exception was caught during Core Data change processing. This is usually a bug within an observer of NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification. *** -[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0] with userInfo (null)
I could fix this by checking the indexPaths before using them in controller:didChangeObject: in PPRMasterViewController.m
This way the app doesn't crash anymore on adding the first recipe or canceling the same addition.

The best occasions for a jacket dress
For the perfect look at the office or even for a dinner date, there is no better option than a jacket dress. It has that sophisticated look that will just command attention. The more elegant style jacket dresses are perfect for weddings and anniversary parties: perfect for when you want that mother of the bride look. Whichever look you decide to go for, you can never go wrong with a jacket dress.
There are the more traditional jacket dresses that are very popular for office jobs and then there are the more elegant jacket dresses that are frequently worn by bridesmaids. The traditional ones look more like a dress suit and are not flamboyant. This is why they are more appropriate in an office setting than anywhere else. Jacket dresses for wedding type events generally have fabrics that are made out of a shiny material so they give off that elegant and beautiful look.
One of the best parts about jacket dresses is that in a few seconds you can have two completely different looks. In the time it takes you to take off your jacket, your whole outfit is transformed. If it gets warm or you don't want to wear the jacket anymore, you have a beautiful dress that will leave everyone stunned.
Jacket dresses are perfect for when you aren't in the mood for a wrap and you still want to cover your shoulders. The jackets are usually very short so they only cover the top portion of your torso. They can either match the dress or be a different color that completes the outfit.

|Melfort Explosion Was a Pipe Bomb
|Written by Vanese M. Ferguson
|Friday, 25 June 2010 04:58
RCMP are still trying to determine whether they will lay charges in the Melfort explosion that occurred June 13th.
But they now say the boys, two aged 14 and one 16 year old, were working on a pipe bomb. Police believe there was no criminal intent involved - that the device was not going to be used for any criminal activity. They also say it appears curiosity was the motivation for the pipe bomb.
Two boys were sent to hospital due to injuries in the explosion. One 14 year old was treated and released from Melfort hospital while the other was sent to RUH in Saskatoon. (vmf Jun 25/10)oem software

Pool-Playing Chihuahua a Hit at Washington Billiards Club
It started out as fun and games. Connie Baldwin would be playing pool in her Washington home, when her Chihuahua pup, Amadeus, would come sniff around, wanting to be held.
"One day, I just put him up on the table and said, 'Go get the ball,' " she tells PEOPLEPets.com. "He couldn't really bite them, but when I said 'Go get the ball' again, he started knocking them around." Every time the eager pooch would knock one into the pocket, Baldwin would praise him – and that's how the world's smallest pool player got his start.
"He just realized that's what you do; the balls go into the holes, then he gets praise," she says. "People say I didn't teach him the rules. I didn't – I just taught him to clear the table!"
It's certainly a convenient skill to have: Connie and her husband, Mike, run Robin's Billiards in Monroe, Wash., where Amadeus joins them every day, often performing for customers. "They love him, and he loves them back," she says. "They all hold him and spoil him rotten."
While Amadeus clearly enjoys his little task – he has become a big hit on YouTube, too – there has been one downside to all his fame. "Now, he expects treats every time he [clears the balls]," Baldwin says. It's a small price to pay for such a big talent!

On Expectations for Girls in YA Fiction, Misleading Reviews, and Sexuality
When the school year begins, Alex learns via another girl that something awful happened to Becca over the summer: she was diagnosed with cancer. Alex immediately runs to Becca's side, and their friendship, while not perfectly patched up, is allowed to continue, and it's through this agreement of continuing their relationship that Becca asks Alex for a favor. She needs to complete her f-word-rhymes-with-bucket list. Since Becca's sick and worried a bit about what her future may hold, she wants Alex to do and experience a number of things that she's always wanted to do but wonders if she'll ever have the chance to do.
A number of items on the list have to do with sex. Becca wants Alex to masturbate, and she wants Alex to have sex with someone she can say I love you to and mean it. Other items on the list range from doing some silly prank-like stuff to more relationship-driven items. But it is those sexually-related items that Alex homes in on most and those are the items that come to signify not just a lot of what the relationship between the two girls is -- blunt, honest, and unashamed -- but also points where readers may either bristle or dig in for something deeper. In many ways, I thought the ways that both the sexually-related items and the friendship more broadly played out in the story were what made The F-It List knock out. It's rare to see such positive portrayals of sex for girls. Both Becca and Alex enjoyed sex and both were very open and honest about liking it and sharing those positive experiences with one another.
But not everyone felt this to be the case. Here's the review Halpern's novel got in School Library Journal (you can click to make it larger):
I've read and reread this review many times, and every time, something new feels off in it. Keep in mind many trade reviewers review from advanced reader copies of books, meaning that not all of the kinks have been entirely worked out.
I note, too, that I also read The F-It List from an advanced reader copy.
Although I could dive into the notion that Alex performs the items on the f-it list out of guilt -- an idea I disagree with entirely, as Alex begins to really embrace this as a commitment to her relationship with Becca -- what I find fascinating is this line: "Both girls have casual, unprotected sex with all of their boyfriends without any thoughts of taking precautions."
This line presumes a few things in it. The first is that it's the responsibility of the girls to think about and carry out the actions necessary for protection during sex. While print space is limited and words have to be carefully selected in a trade review, the way this particular line is phrased, in conjunction with the line before it, casts a judgment upon the female characters in the story. They're crass, with limited vocabulary, and they're not taking responsibility for their own actions. These are the kinds of girls you don't want to be role models for readers, since they're not being "good girls." They don't arouse sympathy because what happens to them is all a matter of consequences and choices they make. They weren't smart enough or thinking through things enough to protect themselves.
But what is worse in this line is that it's factually incorrect.
Early in the book, Alex talks about the first time she's had sex, as a means of thinking through Becca's request that she have sex with someone she loves and cares about. The first person -- and only person at that point -- she'd slept with was a boy named Aleks, who was a foreign exchange student. Starting at page 76 in the advanced reader copy, Alex lays out the story as follows:
Becca was disappointed I hadn't seen his penis yet and handed me a condom the next time I saw her. Two days later, armed with the Trojan, I followed Aleks back to his house again. [...] Me in my underwear, him in blue boxers, we moved over to the bed. "Wait--" I told him, the first work spoken that afternoon. I found Becca's condom in my backpack and brought it up to the bed. [...] He slapped on the condom.
It's pretty evident immediately that condoms play a role in not just Alex's sex life, but in the discussions she and Becca have had as best friends about being sexually active. Alex got the condom from Becca, and Alex insisted that Aleks wear it when they slept together. Seems straightforward enough.
But there's more.
Later on in the story, when Alex begins a relationship with Leo, the issue of the condom isn't the only one that comes up before they take the plunge and have sex (they had a few intimate moments, but in each case, Leo stopped when Alex asked him to). She talks about why she wants to make sure there is protection. Starting on page 141 of the advanced reader copy:
His hands were gentler than I wanted, and I grabbed one and wrapped it around my breast. I let out a sigh, and Leo reciprocated with a sound of his own. "So you have a condom?" I asked. Life had been too cruel in the last year not to get me pregnant or diseased if I wasn't careful. I couldn't trust my body to do the right thing, and I didn't want to have a conversation with Leo in the middle of this to talk past sexual partners. I didn't want to know. I just needed it to happen.
Immediately after, Leo puts on a condom.
In both instances, Alex takes precaution. In both instances, it is Alex -- the girl -- who insists on using a condom before engaging in intercourse and in the second section, Alex lays out why it is she finds taking this precaution important. With everything going on in her life right now, she recognizes that not being careful would only lead to further problems. She didn't want to saddler herself with that, nor did she want to get into it with Leo, either. It's clear and evident that Alex thought about precautions prior to intercourse, and she's not shy in laying that out there for readers, just as she's not shy in laying out there what and how she comes to enjoy her budding sexuality.
I'm struck by that review line again because it seems to me the reviewer missed these things (reading too quickly? Not paying close enough attention to the details yet still bringing them up in the review?). But I'm further struck in thinking about whether or not we as readers need to be hit over the head with how careful our protagonists -- females especially -- need to express how they're protecting themselves when they choose to engage in sex.
Did the reviewer find fault in the fact that Alex doesn't tell us about condom use in subsequent sexual situations, despite the fact she's made it clear she wouldn't be crazy enough to have sex without a condom? Is it necessary for every instance of sex, whether on the page or fade to black, be explicit in its depiction of protection use? And if that's the case, where is there a line drawn between telling the story and being faithful to how the characters are and positing an over-the-head message about safe sex? Do readers believe that if Alex doesn't explain in every sexual moment that she's making sure there's a condom in place that she's chosen instead to not protect herself? Because as a reader, I assume when it's laid out there for me as openly as it is, that there will be a condom. That I don't need to be reminded again and again.
Because when real people have sex and are resolute in their wanting to be protected against pregnancy and disease, it becomes a routine, rather than a point of conscious decision making. You always have that box of condoms or you're faithful in taking birth control (or both or neither). The story isn't in the routine; it's in the break from the routine. In Alex's case, the routine is protecting herself, and I think any more insertion of the condom lines through the story would have turned this from a book where Alex (and Becca) really come to embrace their ability to be sexual beings to a story where they become pawns for the Message of "make sure you use protection."
Part of me wonders, too, whether the fact this is such a positive portrayal of girls embracing sex and doing so without apology and without holding back on being crude and, at times, obscene, is what will hold some readers back from seeing these smaller moments when Alex is very keen on keeping herself and Leo safe. Halpern hasn't written an easy story here in any capacity. But I think it's this complexity which makes The F-It List such a great, memorable read. Because it's not about Becca's diagnosis. It's not about death or the fear of that. It's about embracing life and relationships -- friendly and romantic -- to their fullest in whatever way you need to. It's unfortunate, though, that a trade review in one of the largest, most well-respected library journals could be factually incorrect about the story. In doing so, this book might not end up in the hands of those readers -- girls particularly -- who would get so much out of it. Who would see themselves in Alex or in Becca. Who would see it's perfectly okay to enjoy sex alone or with a partner.
And that yes, it's important to take precautions for yourself and have solid reasons behind why.
I can't help wonder, too, whether books that do similar things as Halpern's but feature a male main character undergo the same scrutiny and character judgment.

Well, goddammit, Kelly Jensen. You are a menace to my TBR pile. Now I have to read this book for myself! It sounds right up alley, anyway.ReplyDelete
I can't believe how thoroughly that review misrepresents the book. I'm glad that I have the freedom to buy whatever I want for our YA collection. I'm sure that review would keep this book out of a lot of school libraries. This underscores the reason I take all professional journal reviews with a grain of salt, and am much more likely to rely on signed reviews (like in VOYA) or reviews of librarians/bloggers I know and trust (or at least have a sense of their taste and perspective.
Well, the mistakes in the "they don't even talk about protection" thing is sloppy - but ties into what protection even means. BE ON THE PILL IF YOU REALLY MEAN IT or something? I don't even know.ReplyDelete
But the other stuff ... I can't lie, my first reaction was basically a DO NOT WANT Grumpy Cat .gif. It doesn't sound sex-positive to me that these girls are sexually active but have yet to masturbate to the point that they have put it on a "I might die so I wanna do this first!' list. It ain't that hard, just reach down there and touch or rub yourself off. Anyone can give it a go and, hell, you totally should before you let another person start trying to get you off. (my advice for the kids!) And it's really the best way to explore what makes your body feel good for you. And, well. It's just problematic to me that Alex is doing these things because it's on Becca's list. I mean, I get it. I really do, I don't need the primer on how it's REALLY for Alex but the set-up that Alex is feeling the pressure of how Becca is going to die so she better start fulfilling things on her list, like seeing penises because BECCA is disappointed and BECCA puts the condom in her hand and tells her she better speed it up. Whoa. That's all kind of awkward peer pressure (with the added extra guilt trip, did I mention, of DEATH) that I don't feel entirely OK with as a dynamic about anything much less sexual activity. Again, I "get" what's happening here - I just don't know if I can get down with it as a model of empowerment or even friendship. Real friends don't pressure you to do things on THEIR timetable or comfort level, even if they're sick.
Any thoughts on this aspect of it?Replies
Actually, it's never about the pressure of Alex doing it because Becca's going to die. Alex makes fun of the whole thing a LOT, and since it's BECCA's list, not Alex's, she doesn't feel compelled to have to do it. She does it because she wants to.Delete
I'd suggest reading it in full, honestly. I thought it did a great job and it wasn't shy/naive about anything. There's not peer pressure. Alex does it because she WANTS to, and that comes through well.
And what about the masturbation angle? That they are sexually experienced but have masturbating on a bucket list?Delete
Becca does (again, her bucket list), but she's not weird about it -- and Alex definitely is not. It's not awkward nor weird nor depicted as gross. It's handled well.Delete
They come at it as it being a positive, enjoyable thing and it's something they can openly talk about with one another, rather than as something they should be ashamed about enjoying, doing, or discussing.Delete
Great commentary. I haven't read The F-it List yet, nor did I know what it entailed, but now, it's on my TBR. We need more sex-positive books with girls.ReplyDelete
Interestingly enough, a lot of TEENAGERS have bought this book from my store.ReplyDelete
Great post. Actually very helpful. Lots to think about!ReplyDelete
I think SLJ should be made aware of the factual errors in this review.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks to your alerting them, I've been in touch with the SLJ editor and submitted a letter to the editor in hopes of covering what the review didn't and hopefully, for people like you and others in your position who rely on these reviews for selection, giving another opinion.Delete
I'm glad to hear you've been in touch with them, Kelly. I just finished the book myself and found it to be very raw, real, and relateable. Did it make me as a reader uncomfortable at times? Honestly, yes, but that's neither here nor there. I hope that SLJ makes its readers aware of this glaring misrepresentation and that some of the damage is undone.Delete
She actually solicited me for a letter that pars down this post, which is what I submitted! So I'm hopeful that'll help fix the misrepresentation.Delete
You're right in that it's raw and real and at times uncomfortable BECAUSE of that...but that's what made me appreciate it so much and what makes me hope it finds the hands of readers who need this kind of story.
For my money, the operative phrase of that review is in the bio line and reads "Episcopal School."ReplyDeleteReplies
I wouldn't say that necessarily -- I've worked for the Episcopal Church!Delete
Yeah, I know. There are great sex-positive church folks. I know some, too. I just...grrr. This shaming stuff around esp. female sexuality so often seems to come from the church camp. Thanks so much for writing about this.Delete
Unfair, Aaron! I work for an Episcopal school and we're a lot more liberal than many/most other "church" schools.Delete
Unfortunately I am not surprised the other reviewer had an axe to grind and choose to outright lie about the books content. I read a review for Man Of Steel where they said that Superman, after snapping Zod's neck, kicked the body and laughed. A complete and utter lie just because they did not like the movie. The other reviewer did not like The F it List and just started making stuff up.ReplyDelete
All I will say is this, if a sex scene in a book does not specifically mention a condom (or other protection) that does not necessarily mean it isn't there, and leaves it up to the reader to interpret the scene how they like.ReplyDelete
If the reader assumes protection wasn't used, and is then offended, that says more about the reader than it does about the book.

Thank you for reading and weighing in. The death occurred in New Jersey.
I need to get up there. I'm a big fan of Pecorino Romano cheese, from sheep's milk. That's awesome they put it on their pizza. Thanks for the ingredient detail Kelly.
Thanks for reading. Due to an editing error, initial information called in from our reporter at the scene was misinterpreted as a "mother and her daughter" being involved. We changed the information in this post upon the reporter's return but failed to change the possessive pronoun.
I'm about ready to pit Cliff Lee and Jose Reyes against a lot of ballclubs.
I was just remarking to myself the other day while trimming the hedges (not a euphemism) that I can learn a lot from Old Man Duggar; I once watched him make PB&J sandwiches for a good chunk of his crew and having a good time, not sweating the small stuff surrounding him like I'm so prone to do with my two boys. I should watch more often.
I had the Deliciously Wicked pulled pork. It was awesome, as were the smoked baked beans, and went well with Brew Works' Hefeweizen. I was tempted to try Grumpy's, too, but didn't get to it. I hope they make this an annual thing, or even biannual!
I've only heard good things about Mama's in Hackettstown. But from experience, I have to suggest La Bella Via in Phillipsburg and Bruno Scipioni's in Bethlehem Township, Pa.
Clarification from Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission spokesman Joe Donnelly: They call bridges like the spans linking Northampton Street in Easton and Union Square in Phillipsburg, Riegelsville and Pohatcong Township and Bridgeton Township (Upper Black Eddy) and Milford "toll-supported" bridges because they're only free to the motorists who use them. It's the tolls from the toll bridges that pay for the upkeep. The Express-Times refers to them as free bridges to clearly differentiate them from toll bridges. Joe's point follows the adage of economist Milton Friedman that there's no such thing as a free lunch; somebody pays.
"Toll-supported" means free in the quasigovernmental book of jargon, FYI. Weird.
Nine days is a long time! PPL has never left us hanging more than a few hours in our thirst for electricity and its attendant waste products. Thank goodness. A tree fell and sheared off a utility pole tonight in our NE Bethlehem neighborhood and pulled down at an angle the pole at the end of our alley. The power cut out but was back on in about four hours. I assume they'll be out Friday morning getting everything back to normal. I'll try to get some pictures.
Thank you for the clarification John. Congratulations to all the winners!
If Joe and Kelly need a breather from the saturated fat, they might hit some of our roadside produce stands and downtown farmers markets for fresh produce! Sugar snap peas, strawberries, radishes, um, other stuff!
As noted above in an Editor's Note, we have since clarified with police that the alleged sexual act occurred on a couch in the hallway of a commercial building in Hackettstown. Police Detective Darren Tynan describes the building as a mini-mall in the 200 block of Main Street. We also learned the same girl was accused of underage possession of alcohol the previous night: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/express-times/index.ssf/2011/06/mansfield_township_girl_accuse.html
Thanks for reading and the kind words about Sarah, who now covers New Jersey cops and courts for The Express-Times. We, too, want to know more about ISS. A web post updating the story (to say the school board delayed voting tonight on the security contract) is in production and includes this information:
Superintendent Mark B. Miller, who bore the brunt of school board frustration over the Camelot hiring, declined to comment Monday on the pending contract.
Further details of ISS' proposal were not immediately available, including whether guards working for Camelot would be retained.
District officials also were unsure where ISS Security Services is based. A search indicates a company with that name serving education and other industries is based in San Antonio, Texas, and has a regional office in Livingston, N.J.
I could see your point about being pressured. What is with quasi-governmental authorities -- Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission and turnpike authorities of Pennsylvania and New Jersey -- investing millions of dollars in automating toll lanes and booze sales? Leaving less and less for their salesPEOPLE? At least on the booze front, it looks like the kiosks ain't E-ZPass.
If you know someone who loves the Pennypack Creekside in Philly, please let them know. Otherwise, let's keep an eye out for wild animals acting strangely, I suppose. And European vegetables, too -- http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/newsflash/index.ssf/story/4-in-us-now-linked-to-german/7a7108bea34d43f7bb6a081490222c43 -- I imagine. Have to wonder what hydrophobia looks like ... .
This is great reporting. I'm really glad no one was hurt.
Remarkable photo Chris! Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words.
Wow. Those drinks sound crazy. Allow me two free plugs: Trader Joe's has blue agave nectar; Google your nearest location, and if it's in N.J. you can get Two Buck Chuck. Secondly, simplify your summer drinks with a visit to a Pa. Wine & Spirits Shoppe for dark Bacardi rum ($6 off this month) and Tanczo's on Jacksonville Road in Bethlehem for a case of Gosling's ginger beer (practically unheard of anywhere else) and BOOM you've got quite a supply of dark 'n stormies, a fine summertime beverage for those ages 21 and older. (Thus illustrating the double-edged sword of Pa.'s one-time-revenue-swoon for liquor-store privatization; if it's approved you might be able to buy $2 bottles of wine at Trader Joe's, but you'll lose the bulk-purchase savings we enjoy through the PLCB. Something to think about. Happy Memorial Day! Drink a toast to those who gave all.)
Fifty bucks more a year, eh? Gotta' pay the bills, I suppose. Well I gotta' take off my Express-Times hat and put on my Bethlehem resident hat for a good old-fashioned tangential rant. Here's an idea: for our extra hard-earned money, how about Bethlehem officials speak out against the poorly, poorly regulated hydrofrackers threatening water supplies due north, east and west of our precious Carbon/Monroe supply. I'm all for domestic energy production, as long as it stays stateside and isn't shipped overseas and is done carefully. Which it's not. Rather it's frack, baby, frack and maybe we'll figure out how to protect Pennsylvania's environment later. It started under Rendell and it's continuing under Corbett, who took about $1M in campaign donations from the industry. Bethlehem water, by the way, is tasty and reliable. Even this spring's massive water-main break was only a minor inconvenience when all was said and done.

Revenge Season 2, Episode 15, "Retribution," Synopsis: Emily Thorne Re-Ups Her Game
Thank goodness today's the day Revenge Season 2 returns because three weeks is more than enough time to prepare our bodies for the return of a more focused and badass Emily Thorne.
We said goodbye to Fauxmanda Clarke in one of the most emotional deaths to date in Episode 14, "Sacrifice." This little lady risked everything to save her hubby and her cell block sister, not to mention her magic locket.
So what will happen in the aftermath of The Amanda's explosion? The official synopsis for Episode 15, "Retribution," reads:
Still reeling from the devastation on The Amanda, Emily's commitment to justice and revenge is stronger than ever, while the Hamptons mourn the loss of one of their own.
But Emily isn't the only one hell-bent on getting vengeance this time around. Jack Porter is set to wake up in tonight's episode and he's bound to have plenty of questions. When he's not getting the necessary answers, Jack goes digging a little deeper.
The wayward seaman blames Conrad Grayson for his wife's death, and he also finds fault in a former ally.
Are you excited for the rejuvenation of Emily Thorne's thirst for revenge and Jack's new dramatic storyline? Tell us below!
Revenge Season 2, Episode 15, "Retribution" airs Sunday, March 10 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

In this issue:
By Antonio P. Mallarino, Department of Agronomy
In most Iowa regions, early fall has been characterized by exceptionally dry conditions due to low rainfall in late summer and early fall, especially since corn and soybean physiological maturity. This may affect quality of soil samples and soil-test results.
Sampling under very dry conditions may increase soil sampling error because it is more difficult to control sampling depth and proper soil core collection. This may be a problem for P and K due to nutrient stratification, which usually is more pronounced in reduced till, no-till and pastures. Both P and K tend to concentrate at or near the soil surface and therefore, the depth control for core collection is very important. Also, when the top inch of soil is very dry and powdery it is very easy to lose this soil portion, which will affect the soil-test result significantly.
Very dry soil conditions may result in more acidic soil pH. Differences from of 0.1 to 0.3 pH units are common with very dry conditions. This is because small concentrations of cations or soluble salts present in the soil solution are not leached by rainfall or are not retained by soil particles, which result in higher hydrogen concentration in the soil solution.
Short-term nutrient recycling from plant residues and the equilibrium between soil nutrient pools also may be affected by rainfall, especially for potassium (K). Potassium is present in the soil in water-soluble, easily exchangeable and slowly exchangeable forms, and in mineral (unavailable) K form. Potassium in fertilizer and manure sources is water soluble and application quickly increases the solution and exchangeable K pools, which are readily available for crops. Potassium in plant tissue also is soluble in water, because little or no K combines in organic compounds.
Re-distribution of K among soil pools occurs as K is added to soil with fertilizer, manure or crop residues. Plants take up K from soil solution, which is readily replenished by the easily exchangeable soil K fraction. In moist soils, some slowly exchangeable K can become exchangeable when easily exchangeable K is depleted by plant uptake or leaching. With dry soil at the end of the growing season, this replenishment of the solution and easily exchangeable K fractions, which is what soil tests measure, is limited or does not occur. These processes also occur for phosphorus (P), but to a much lesser extent and through completely different mechanisms.
Therefore, knowing patterns of K release to soil from maturing plants and crop residues could be important to help understand temporal soil-test K variation. Starting in 2009 a project has been focusing on K release from plants and residue in corn and soybean fields. At physiological maturity and at the normal grain harvest time the above-ground portion of plants (grain and vegetative parts) were sampled, weighed and analyzed for K concentration. After grain harvest, residue left on the ground also was weighed and analyzed for K concentration several times until April of the next year.
Figure 1 summarizes average results for five soybean fields. Available results for two cornfields showed approximately similar trends (not shown). There was a very sharp decrease in the amount of K remaining in vegetative tissue from physiological maturity until harvest. This sharp decrease can be explained by K contained in dropped leaves (which were not collected if they were badly contaminated with soil) and K leaching out of the standing biomass. There was a sharp K decrease in the crop residue from harvest until late fall, and a much smaller decrease in spring. The K content of residue changed little during winter (with snow and frozen ground).
Figure 1. Amount of potassium contained in soybean vegetative plant tissue at physiological maturity (except grain) and in residue from harvest until the following spring.
There was significant variation in patterns of K loss from plant tissue and residue most likely related to rainfall amount and distribution. The study of rainfall patterns along with the K test results has not been completed at this time, and the research continues this year. The preliminary results strongly suggest, however, that with little or no rainfall from crop physiological maturity until soil sampling there is less K recycling from plant tissue and crop residue and lower soil-test K values than with normal rainfall.
Study for P recycling from plant tissue and crop residue began more recently and data are not available at this time. Because most P in plant tissue and crop residues is organic, I don't believe that these processes will be nearly as important as for K.
Completion of the ongoing studies have great promise to better understand processes that determine high temporal variation in soil-test results and often poor short-term relationships between soil-test results, crop yield response and nutrient removal with harvest.

This product isn't worth $20. It doesn't even moisturize my under eyes well enough to apply concealer. And it so does not help with dark circles like it claims. Might as well use the vitamin e moisture cream as an eye cream since it basically has the same ingredients and comes in a bigger tube. But, yeah I won't be purchasing the eye cream ever again.

It's not good.. I love The Body Shop to pieces but this is not a good eye cream. You need to give it a good shake before you use it or water comes out. It's a clumpy cream. It's just awkward, it's a weird cream and not worth investing in. Only reason I did is because I switched all my body/skincare products over the The Body Shop because they are cruelty free and I needed an eye cream. Really pointless. Sorry :(

It's a waste. I bought this cream on sale and stated using it only after a month of buying, since my old cream was still left. As soon as I opened it the cream and the water had separated. It smelt weird! just a month of shelf storage that would happen in the shop anyway! The tube showed an expiry date two years from the date I opened it. After discarding some of the initial cream I got a little fine consistency. I still tried applying it for a week, in which it neither hydrated my under eye area nor did anything better.. it was sticky and use less. After a week I was convinced it had gone rancid and finally discarded it. A big waste of money.

About a month in, and it's just ok. I do think it's helping me with eye puffy-ness, and a dry skin issue on my eyelid. One thing I've noticed is that if I use it after using my prescription facial wash (for my acne), my eyes sting. I thought I was doing a good job keeping my medicated cleanser out of my eye area, but obviously not! The Vitamin E nighttime cream doesn't sting after using the wash, but the eye cream does. Curious. Anyhow, this is just an OK product; I got in in a 3 for $30 deal, for a tenner I don't regret it, but I'm not convinced that I will buy it again per se.

I used for about 4-5 months. It did not help reduce the puffiness under my eyes nor did it really improve my dark circles. But what is worse, over time I noticed these small white bumps starting to form under my eyes! And it must have been this product because before using this I never had such a thing and after not using it for 5 months they have gone away.
My advice: if you really want a good eye cream go buy the clinique all about eyes eye cream.

This eye cream did not work for me. First I will say that it did not hydrate my under eyes, nor did it help with puffiness as it claims. I used for about 2 weeks and didn't like it. Put it away for a month and thought I'd give it another try. Well it had separated. Only an oil came out then a cream. After only having it 2 months makes this a fail. If all that wasn't enough- you cannot use this under makeup. The makeup clings to it and balls up. I don't know who this would work for.

This is a decent eye cream for a good price compared to what else you'd find on the market.
I specifically sought out the SA for an eye cream that would help with dark circles. Though it only improved my dark circles slightly - it definitely didn't make it worse.
Also it didn't irritate my skin so it gets bonus points for that. My skin gets dry really fast and I found this really moisturizing.
Moreover, the quantity you get for the price is pretty darn decent. It definitely lasted me a while. The reason why I wouldn't repurchase is because I'm willing to see if there's anything else that would work better.

Click here to search and view
Columbia Rent to
Listings and Lease options listing in the Columbia area.
The Solution
The new economy is bringing together more sellers who can't sell their houses today and buyers who can't buy today. Selling a home is like any type of sale where there are two parties trying to make a deal. If one door is shut another one can open or it's a no deal.
This is giving birth to the Rent to own option or lease option. This week I have been confronted with Columbia SC sellers or Buyers 6 times interested in this option. We did one yesterday. The scenario was a seller who has been on he market for 8 months. They were listed previously with a full service company with no offers and moved out of state where they bought another house. Their house was modestly priced but they still could not get anyone to buy it and take advantage of the tax rebate program.
Every month that went by they were laying out $1100. They were considering renting and then an opportunity arose this week. A qualified couple indicated that they wanted to purchase the home but needed to sell their home in Washington. They proposed renting until their home sold and then would close on ours.
My seller agreed to do the deal even though they would lose $200 a month on the rent. The math worked. If they take the house and close in 5 months that is equivalent to 1 month of $1100 that they would have to lay out and now they have a buyer instead of a vacant house which costs more to maintain and riskier to watch over from out of state, There is always a down side to Rent to owns as far as risk of a tenant that messes up the house, or that you have to evict for not paying the rent. In a perfect world this would not be the best option for the seller. But, our world is far from perfect. The Subslimers have made our world harder to sell homes and flexibility is they key to come up with the next best solution if you can't sell. Holding on to a house can cause foreclosures, and bankruptcies, which will affect property values.
Rent to owns and Lease Options are better then renters as they have a vested interest to keep up the house since they will lose earnest money if they can't perform. With the low interest rates of today, many more people will be seeking out this option.
