Wooden textile block print stamps make an unusual home accent. Each patterned wooden block is unique. Block printing is a labor-intensive method of hand-printing fabric. The artisans imprint the cloth with a wooden block featuring a hand carved design. The printer moves from left to right, dipping the design block into the dye and stamping it onto the cloth. This is repeated to cover the entire cloth with the intended design and colors.

Your Help Is Needed!
One of the gravest threats facing America today is the lack of security and enforcement along the U.S./Mexico border and the consequences of this lack of security have yielded an unparalleled invasion of drug cartels, violent gangs, an estimated 20 million illegal aliens, and even terrorists!
Because of the Federal Government's failure to stop this invasion, the State of Arizona signed into law Senate Bill 1406. Part of this important legislation established this website for the purpose of raising funds through donations from citizens, businesses, corporations and anyone from across the country in an effort to finance and finish building our border fence.
The bill also created the Joint Border Security Advisory Committee for oversight and accountability of these funds (100% of the funds raised will be held in a trust fund account in the Arizona State Treasurer's Office). Additionally, in an effort to contain costs, inmate labor will be utilized in the construction of the border fence project.
As of the effective date of this bill, July 20, 2011, only approximately 685 miles of the nearly 2,000 mile long border between the United States and Mexico is "fenced." The vast majority of this existing "fence" however, consists of barbed-wire, vehicle barriers, and inadequate materials that have minimal effectiveness in stopping illegal crossings. The approximately 1,315 remaining miles of the border currently have no fencing at all.
Remember, it is the constitutional duty of the Federal Government to protect 'We the People of the United States', but what happens when the government does not do its job? When you read the information below, decide for yourself if you feel truly protected.
Do You Feel Safe?
- 'The Secure Fence Act' passed by Congress in 2006 defined operational control of the border as: prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband.
Today, estimates show that only approximately 10-15% of the border is under operational control and we currently have no way of tracking how many illegal aliens are entering the United States every day!
- In the Tucson sector of Arizona alone, approximately 215,000-250,000 illegal aliens were apprehended by Border Patrol in 2010; however, estimates show that for every one person apprehended, approximately five go free, meaning there are likely over 1,000,000 illegal aliens entering through the Tucson Sector alone each year!
- In 2010, the Federal Government's response to the overwhelming illegal invasion was to erect signs throughout Arizona cautioning people to avoid entering certain areas of the state because of the high level of drug and human smuggling activity. Is putting up warning signs the best our government can do to protect us?
The Drugs, Gangs, and Human Smuggling Epidemic
- There have been over 35,000 deaths and murders along the U.S./Mexico border since 2006 largely due to the vicious drug cartels and gangs that rule in Mexico.
Many of the drug cartels are comprised of paramilitary forces with advanced and high power weaponry, and they take their multi-billion dollar per year industry deadly serious.
- According to the 2010 U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Threat Assessment, Southwest Border Area Marijuana seizures totaled 1,489,673 kilograms or approximately 3.3 million pounds in 2009. Remember, this is only what was apprehended, not the total amount that entered the U.S.
Additionally, the Department of State's International Narcotics Control Strategy Report indicates that as much as 90% of the cocaine entering the United States transits through Mexico. Therefore, to finally win the 'War on Drugs', securing the border is the most important step in doing so.
- Phoenix, Arizona has been infamously deemed the 'Kidnapping Capital' of the United States and second in the world only to Mexico City. The City of Phoenix Kidnapping Review Panel in 2011 determined there were 668 incidents of kidnapping in one year alone, the highest number in the nation. Kidnappings are largely due to human smuggling rings that operate across the southern border. Even more startling was a federal General Accounting Office statistic that law enforcement's net catches only about 6.5 percent of the criminal activity coming across the border.
- 113 Border Patrol officers have been killed in the line of duty according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Financial Impact
- Estimates show that the over $100 billion was spent on services for illegal aliens in the United States in 2010. In Arizona alone, over $2.7 billion was spent from 2009-2010 on free services for illegal aliens on healthcare, education, and imprisonment costs alone! Is this an acceptable use of the American taxpayer's hard earned money?
Environmental Impact
- Several officials and media outlets have reported that many of the forest fires that have devastated Arizona and the southwest were caused by illegal aliens. In a recent article in 'The Washington Times', the reporter stated:
- U.S. Border Patrol agents…are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.
- Armed smugglers of aliens and drugs have walked through the middle of active firefighting operations, the authorities said.
- Blazes... have been set...near the San Luis, Ariz., port of entry as the result of Molotov cocktails — one of which barely missed a Border Patrol agent.
- Additionally, because of the millions of illegal aliens and smugglers that enter through the unsecured border, once pristine areas of the Arizonan desert have been decimated beyond recognition from waste, trash, and litter.
Terrorist Threat
- According to an investigation by the House Committee on Homeland Security, intelligence officials have determined members of the terrorist group Hezbollah have already infiltrated the U.S. by crossing at the southern border. Border Patrol agents and immigration officials have recovered items along the U.S./Mexico border including Iranian currency as well as military-style patches on clothing near the border—one patch contained the word "martyr" in Arabic and another depicted a plane appearing to fly into skyscrapers.
- In 2011, a book (published in Iran) celebrating suicide bombers was found in the Arizonan desert just north of the U.S./Mexico border. The book, 'In Memories of our Martyrs', was spotted by a U.S. Border Patrol agent out of the Casa Grande substation who was patrolling a route known for illegal immigrants and drug smuggling.
- In 2009, according to Homeland Security documents, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials detained 45,279 illegal aliens classified as OTM (Other Than Mexican), many of whom were from illegal immigrants from countries with active Al Qaeda cells or Taliban activity Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan.
- Additionally, FBI Director Robert Mueller testified before the House Appropriations Committee stating that these OTM's; "are individuals from countries with known Al Qaeda connections who are changing their Islamic surnames to Hispanic-sounding names and obtaining false Hispanic identities, learning to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic."
These few statistics represent only a fraction of the problems we face because of the lack of a secure border. They also illustrate that, in reality, the border is not safe, nor secure, nor under control.
There are Things That Can Be Done To Fix This Problem!
In an effort to curb the illegal invasion in Yuma, Arizona, President G.W. Bush directed the National Guard lead an effort to secure this area resulting in a triple-layer fence being constructed. This fence ultimately has proven to be extraordinarily successful in that it has thwarted approximately 95% of all illegal crossings in that area. This proves that fences do in fact work and that the border can be secured, we simply need the political will to do so.
Another example of a fence that works is the 18 foot high steel beam barrier installed in parts of Arizona. This fence is virtually impenetrable and is a great example of what also can work. The problem is that only approximately 16 miles of this fence is built along the nearly 400 mile-long Arizona border! However, with your help, we can reach our goal of raising enough funds so that a project like this can be completed.
It is because of examples like this that your contribution to the 'Build the Border Fence' project is vital for the security of our great nation. Additionally, as a way of saying thank you for supporting this great cause, online donors will receive an official numbered certificate from the State of Arizona thanking you for your support.
Ronald Reagan once said, "The simple truth is that we've lost control of our own borders, and no nation can do that and survive." It is at this moment that we need to not only heed President Reagan's warning, but we must also follow John F. Kennedy's command in that we must "… ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." It is at this time in our country's history that you can do your part to help make America safe for future generations. We as a nation can once again show the world the resolve and the can-do spirit of the American people.
Your donation is greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you and may God continue to bless the United States of America!

Join us as we talk with Darryl Eady President and Founder of Consort, Inc on the Topic of
How and Why A Company Should Get Started Utilizing the Cloud
Cloud is the industrialization of delivery for IT services. This new consumption and delivery model inspired by consumer Internet services will be the enabling force for self-service, economies of scale, flexible pricing models and workload based IT resource provisioning.
This topic focuses on coming up with a cloud adoption strategy. A cloud adoption strategy entails combining both business and technical decision points to offer a holistic, and enterprise-wide method to generate sustainable business outcomes. The potential business-centric consumer will typically want to ensure that investments in cloud technologies will strengthen their company's presence in their respective marketplace. On the other hand, the technology-centric consumer will lean on cloud services to build up IT capability and improve business performance. In both cases, increased profitability and agility are at the forefront of these business objectives.

I have been taking 10 mg Paxil for about 2 weeks now. About 3 hours ago I started having ringing in my ears, it isn't severe and it comes and goes. Some internet websites I have found say to seek treatment immediately, some don't even list it as a side-effect. Has anyone had this happen to them?
Ringing in my ears on Paxil
Comments (8)
It isn't typical for the ringing in the ears to just show up after two weeks of taking it. Usually if it is a side effect it shows up the first day of taking it. Online places can give various information, the only true place to to check the FDA website for side effects. If its listed as a "severe reaction" then call you doctor. If you do stop taking the medication cold turkey be aware there are side effects to this as well. So before you do anything call your doctor tomorrow and get their input.
Yes. Tinnitus is that ringing in the ears. I do get this with Zoloft--sometimes more noticeably than other times. I don't know what makes the difference. Anyway, it's not an uncommon side effect.
Jasmine, w/2 older kids. Survivor of PPA w/ocd: Zoloft & Klonopin.
PaN me any time.
yeah, I had it both with zoloft and to a lesser extent with celexa. It went away after a month or so.
according to Paxil's website "severe or persistent ringing in the ears" is a symptom that calls for "immediate medical attention" but I e-mailed my Kaiser doc and she said ringing in the ears is not associated with Paxil and asked if I had a cold!
Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I am also experiencing ringing in my ears for the last few days, ever since I increased my paxil dose from 10 to 20 mg. I was handling the 10 mg just fine for about 2 weeks, then when I increased to the full 20 mg this ringing started up! I can only hear it at night when it's quiet. It's irritating, because otherwise the paxil seems to really be helping me. Did you stick with the paxil, and did the ringing go away? Looking for some encouragement to stick it out!
Give it time to adjust if the ringing persist, then call the doctor and let him/her know it started with the increase to 20mgs and see what they recommend. It is irritating, but side effects a common, and unless it becomes so constant where it disrupts your day I would give it a chance to level out.
Thanks for the response! I'm in Italy and it's nice to get some feedback from people who understand what I'm going through! I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow, I'll ask about it. It's not too bad, I really am starting to feel better so I want to give it a chance!
Can anyone tell me when the ringing stops!Im weaning myself off from 10mg daily for a year, to 5MG for 6 months, the ear ringing has always been unbearable, will it ever go away when Im completely off? it almost makes ya wanna cry. Dr's just want to increase, no longer helping me feel lika zombie and want off, supporting my adrenals w//supplements. but ears are killing me!

They want what we have, they can't have it the way they do things so they will TRY and take it having no other choice.
People can rag what we do all day long but the reality is the world is doomed if certain cultures go on like this unchecked WW3 will be the Haves vs the Have not's but realistically the HAVE nations HAVE because of their cultures and the Have tons Have not because of their cultures.
This means little... it's not like they can win. The methods employed immigration, culturally conversion, sneak attacks... they will do a lot of damage but they can not win. It's futile.
It gets bad enough we will cut off the food, then what?

1. Re: Bug: 3D Lighting DuplicationHowardPinsky Apr 23, 2012 3:41 AM (in response to HowardPinsky)
Anyone else able to confirm this behavior?
2. Re: Bug: 3D Lighting DuplicationPete.Green Apr 23, 2012 11:02 AM (in response to HowardPinsky)
Hi Howard,
When selecting a light preset it changes the lights for the scene you're working in, including altering the lights (and amount of them) that are there.
For instance, if you start with a basic Infinite (default) light then switch to the Fire preset, you'll notice 2 lights now, and the colors and settings of both lights has been adjusted to create the Fire preset.
So it does change the current light's color, as well as adding a new second light with a color to get the desired effect intended by the preset.
Moving from there, Select the Hard Lights preset --
Now you have 3 lights, all of them different color from the Fire colors (which were reds and orange, and now all 3 are grays)
Is this not what you're seeing Howard?
3. Re: Bug: 3D Lighting DuplicationHowardPinsky Apr 23, 2012 11:10 AM (in response to Pete.Green)
Yep, this is what I'm experiencing, though it doesn't seem like that should be the behavior. Usually, when selecting a custom preset with an active layer/element, it changes the properties of that layer/element.
For instance, If I add a Curves Adjustment Layer, and choose a custom preset, it doesn't add a new Curves Adjustment Layer. It simply updates the current selected one.
To the average user, if they wanted to add a new light, they would use the New Light button, then select a preset, if desired.
If this behavior is 'as designed', the label should read something like "New Light from Preset". Nothing tells the average user that selecting a preset will add a new light.

Children discover that the bee is called industrious for good reason when they open the gatefolds and see these industrious insects constructing a honeycomb for their eggs, gathering pollen, and doing their mysterious circle dance to show the location of food.
By folding back the front and back covers, an ingeniously engineered 3-D insect appears, complete with a loop to hold the covers in place and a string with which to hang the Bee.
Little books that turn into bugs! Suitable for hanging-and bouncing! A pop-up book about flies details the amazing capabilities of one of the most common insects, such as how they can hover and fly backward and taste food with their feet. A paper fly sculpture can be hung and bounced from the elastic in the back cover.
A pop-up book about ants captures the insects squirting acid at enemies, laying eggs, tending their queen, and tidying their chambers in underground nests, with a paper ant sculpture to be hung and bounced from the elastic in the back cover.

My take: The two newest editions of "How To Banish Fear" Series came at a perfect time, especially for my kindergartener who has a lot of fears these days. In the beginning of both I was a little concerned because there are quite a few of very descriptive images painted with words and images that I thought might frighten him. However my fears were unfounded because both of these books had the perfect way of coping with fears by explaining what a fear is and how to handle it. The educational bug pop-up books were in two words…quite awesome. Vivid illustrations, chock full of educational facts and the ability to hang a pop-up image of the chosen insect is truly awesome!

Calling BS on… "Our technology makes your business agile"
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 by Neil Ward-Dutton
In the quest for ever more 'business meaningful messaging', I've noticed that the concept of 'business agility' has become ever more commonly deployed by software and hardware vendors.
There's nothing at all wrong with business agility as an aspirational goal, of course: no business wants to be seen to be clumsy. What I have a problem with is when said vendors attempt to draw direct connections between a technology product – which, if deployed and used well, can improve technology flexibility – and business agility. This is when things break. "Our technology makes your business agile", so it goes. I call BS!
Making a business – or at least, the parts of it that make sense – more agile requires you to review and be prepared to change people's incentives, business measurement systems, skills and training plans, information sharing and collaboration practices, operating models and procedures, and management culture – and probably more. Even if we just confine ourselves to the technology domain then increasing business agility is likely to require you to review architecture, governance, portfolio and change management practices. If you don't at least think about this stuff, then the most you might be able to do is increase potential technology flexibility.
There's another wrinkle here, too – which is that from a business manager's perspective (if we assume that they're an IT layperson) it might seem perfectly reasonable to enable business change by simply investing in a toolkit of new, lightweight, easy-to-use technologies and applications and letting the 'heritage' systems atrophy in the background. They've just created a technology foundation for business agility! Haven't they?
Well, yes and no. The key realisation here is that agility is something that – if you're serious about it – has to be sustainable and sustained for the long haul. It's not something you can just worry about for 6 months and then forget about.
Netting this all out, where have we got to?
Good enterprise technology – combined with a good set of technology management and strategy capabilities – are a necessary but not sufficient enabler of sustainable business agility.
Of course, that's hardly a straplline that a software marketer is going to latch onto. Catchy it ain't! But I do think that if you're trying to sell enterprise technology, it pays to demonstrate to your customers that you understand the bigger picture.
What do you think – do simplistic explanations of technology value seduce people into expecting technology silver bullets? Or do have most managers and decision makers become adept at filtering this kind of stuff out unconsciously, so we can afford to ignore it?

Great post! I agree with your thesis, "agility" is a latent capacity to make change more easily, not a call for anarchy.
People are inherently agile in their ability to react to an unexpected set of circumstances, but enterprise IT structures often gratuitously resist change (above and beyond cultural, political, environmental barriers that technology can't readily mitigate).
The automation systems and processes implemented in the last 30 years have been hugely successful, but they embed rigid schemas all over the place that make change within and across applications difficult (not to mention time consuming and expensive).
Gratuitous change is not the point or goal, but if you can't make change readily, you are certainly not agile – greater IT flexibility is necessary. Such agility is a sine qua non for enterprise IT to adapt with the business. This is not about rip and replace, its about enabling business and IT/development to work more productively/effectively.
We live in a fast paced sound-byte culture – words are willfully abused to tick a checkbox – it's dishonest. I'm glad you're putting people's feet to the fire, but don't throw out the baby with the bath water – some of us actually mean what we say.
For our part, we have re-imagined 4GL technology for the web-age. An open Framework that offers rapid app development/integration and safe run-time change so applications can adapt – technical agility that assists enterprise agility. Does it offer some powerful capabilities, yes – does it address all enterprise problems IT or otherwise, no.
Hope we avoid your wrath :)
Hello Neil,
At some level, stating business agility as the tag-line for technology is absurd. You correctly point out that investing in a technical platform doesn't provide business ability. At best, it removes obstacles that were in existing technologies… but if those obstacles were not actually the problem, then addressing them will not bring about a solution.
On the other hand, if the customer wants to hear "business agility" and your competition is saying "business agility," then you have to say it as well. The phrase becomes "table stakes."
It is useful, if for no other reason, that to force vendors to provide a story of how they actually can remove an obstacle to agility (and if they cannot, to fix their product until a legitimate story can actually be told).
My $0.02

We couldnt agree with you more.
You are right, technology alone doesnt solve a companys problems, nor does it "instantly" make your company agile. You need to have a planned approach, proven methodologies, and an implementation strategy. This is why IBM Software Group partnered with IBM Global Business Services last spring on the "Roadmap to Agility" offering. We currently have over 1000 practitioners trained in BPM methodology, and over 500 business partners. In addition, we have just announced the release of 7000 pages of best practices on BPM implementations for our partners to leverage, further solidifying our vision that process improvement has been, is, and always will be a combination of software plus expertise. We have defined BPM as requiring technology plus methodology for almost six years now, as well. Thank you for clarifying this important point with your post.
Dave Marquard,
Manager, IBM BPM Product Marketing
Pingback: BPM Quotes of the week « Adam Deane
Neil, obviously if I buy the same clubs as Tiger Woods I still won't play like him. But he would neither play with a cheap set. It is equally wrong to ignore technology and believe that methodology or training alone improves processes. Agile BPM requires a governance bureacracy as everyone will tell you and that will kill the dynamics.
technology beceomes essential if management feels that it can utilize the power of social interaction and therefore can let go enough to empower its people. If that is the goal, technology will make or break it. BPMN doesn't offer empowerment. Yes, if the management style isn't right then the technology will be a dud too. Ideally we can get out of the project implementation rut and prvide process empowerment that lets the 10% of people who usually are the social drivers roam free.
I do however advocate that this kind of freedom must also come with a top-down transparency in which targets and goals are defined and customer outcomes are measured. I seriously doubt the benefit of monetary incentives. People rather want security, recognition and autonomy. Just as empowerment needs authority, goals and means.
I agree with you Max, but I'm exasperated by the number of organisations I still run into that believe they *can* buy the same clubs as Tiger Woods, and that that will mean they deliver the same result.
These "Calling BS on…" blogs I'm posting are typically the result of exasperation!
Bravo!!! LOL!!!
Maybe fifteen years ago or so such BS did fly with those who did not know or understand the recursive relationship between business and IT. Today's IT managers are more savvy and educated in business, architecture, structure, processes, governance, etc. For such a statement to roll off the lips (fingertips of pen) of a vendor is an insult to intelligence.
Software and hardware are only resources that when purchased and configured according to the needs and direction of the organization are assets that assist in reaching the goal; components of the overarching plan.

We previously had a similar issue when migrating multiple accounts from MobileMe to iCloud. The issue was resolved by disabling and then enabling iCal sync through iCloud on our iMacs in System Preferences.
Always backup your calendar before troubleshooting (File > Export > iCal Archive).
The following steps are roughly from a Apple Support Community discussion.
- Open iCloud in System Preferences.
- Switch off (uncheck) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
Backup iCal before doing this. You will need to remove calendar data.
- Open iCal and verify the iCloud account is removed in the iCal preferences under accounts.
- Close iCal, reopen System Preference and switch on (check) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
- Reopen iCal and verify the iCloud account is enabled in the iCal preferences under accounts.
At this point if the problem persists you might try completely signing out of iCloud and then signing back in. But remember to backup all related data (iCal, Contacts, Mail, Photostream, etc) before turning off iCloud sync!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means Christmas isn't far behind. Save a little stress (and cash) this holiday season with recipes from Maggie Battista's Food Gift Love. With recipes for more than 100 edible gifts inside, this collection should include a little something to please just about anyone on your list. This Vin d'Orange looks elegant when finished, and it's absolutely no-fuss—just set it in a dark place and wait for the magic to happen!
Makes: About 6 to 7 bottles
Preparation Time: 15 minutes active time (up to 21 days total time)
Vin d'Orange is a fortified, fruity wine that takes up significant space in my Food Gift Love pantry. I make a big batch every winter, just when Seville oranges begin to show up at the local shops and I'm dreaming of hot summer nights, when the finished product is the very best refreshment.
Traditionally, oranges infuse the wine for 40 or more days to reach peak flavor. After making so many Vin d'Orange batches, I consider the infusion process to be a conversation between me and the wine. Every 1 or 2 days, I taste to determine the just right amount of bitterness. I take a sip, remove 1 sour orange, take a sip, remove 2 or 3 sour oranges, and take more sips. By the 3-week point, the Vin d'Orange is bottled and added to my pantry for long-term aging where it just gets better.
If 5 bottles of rose wine is just too much, cut it down to 2 bottles with these adjustments: use 4 Seville oranges, 1 navel orange, 1 lemon, 1 cup sugar, [½] vanilla bean and 1 cup vodka. Also, if you'd like, replace the Seville oranges and use only navel oranges (such as Cara Cara or Valencia) or try blood oranges. The resulting libation won't be as bitter and that's just right for some.
Special Equipment:
Wash all the citrus well, and cut it all into quarters.
Place the citrus, sugar, vanilla beans and vodka into your glass jar. When placing the citrus in the jar, do not squeeze juice from the fruit; the extra juice may make the final Vin d'Orange a bit cloudy.
Empty the wine from each bottle into the glass jar. Reserve the empty wine bottles for your final bottling. Stir briefly to help dissolve the sugar, cover and store in a cool, dark place in your kitchen. (I use a dark corner of my kitchen—it's just too pretty to hide away in a cabinet and will brighten your day like a bouquet of flowers.)
Rinse your rosé bottles and allow to air dry. Store until ready to use.
Now let's begin our conversation with our Vin d'Orange…
Once your Vin d'Orange has infused for 14 days, start checking on it every 1 to 2 days. With tongs, remove a few pieces of sour orange if it's getting too bitter. This process can take up to 40 days, depending on the sweetness of your fruit and conditions in which the jar is stored, but I like the style and flavor profile of my Vin d'Orange at the 21-day mark.
After your Vin d'Orange is as you like it, remove the solids with tongs and strain the Vin d'Orange through cheesecloth. Using a funnel placed in each bottle, pour the Vin d'Orange into the reserved rose bottles, being careful not to add any sediment. You will have started with 5 bottles, but you'll most likely have to add 1 to 2 extra bottles to hold the extra wine that's come about during the infusion process.
Seal the bottles and store the Vin d'Orange at room temperature for up to 1 year. As it ages, the Vin d'Orange strengthens in flavor and deepens in color.
Serve well chilled or over a couple ice cubes, with a twist of orange or lemon, if you wish.
Transfer the syrup to a clean pretty bottle. Punch a hole in an orange crisp. Thread the end of the ribbon through the hole and make a thick knot. Wrap the ribbon around the bottle a few times, positioning the orange crisp in the front. Stick a pin through the ribbon to hold it in place.

Teddy Wayne published another piece for The New York Times earlier this week, and even as I was shaking my head (and laughing) over poor Kanye's Persian rug lament, I found myself wishing he would announce a third novel.
Then I saw this tagline at the bottom of the piece:
Some Internet sleuthing revealed that, more specifically, Wayne's publisher Simon & Schuster has scheduled Loner for release on September 6, 2016. The title refers to the main character, David Federman, a high school outcast who hopes that he'll find his tribe at Harvard. Instead, he becomes obsessed with a smart, popular and beautiful female classmate, and his pursuit of her takes over his life and school career. S&S promises that the book "turns the traditional campus novel on its head"—well, he's already put a twist on the traditional coming-of-age and immigrant stories, so why not?
Off to make a few more literary wishes before my luck runs out. Anyone else excited about this one?

Coal River by Ellen Marie Wiseman
Kensington • $25 • ISBN 9781617734472
published November 24, 2015
order from: BAM | B&N | Indiebound | Amazon
Ellen Marie Wiseman takes readers deep into the politics and hidden atrocities of a 20th-century Pennsylvania mining town in her latest novel, Coal River. Emma's greatest nightmare is returning to the town where her aunt and uncle live, but after she is suddenly orphaned, she's left with nothing and nowhere else to turn. Instead of letting her grief consume her, she channels her energy toward helping the child laborers that work in the unforgiving mines, but she soon discovers a slew of even darker secrets and makes an unlikely alliance in her quest to expose the truth.
Coal River
On the last day in June, in the year when the rest of the world was reeling from the sinking of the Titanic, 19-year-old Emma Malloy was given two choices: get on the next train to Coal River, Pennsylvania, or be sent to a Brooklyn poorhouse. The doctor had released her from the Manhattan hospital, the Catholic church had donated a small suitcase with a few items of clothing—along with a proper mourning dress, undergarments, a hand brush, and a bar of soap—and her aunt and uncle had sent money for a ticket. After less than an hour to decide, she walked on shaky legs from the hospital to the station in what felt like a trance, said good-bye to the nurse, climbed the passenger car steps, and found her seat. The nurse had said Emma's escape from the deadly theater fire was a miracle, and she should be forever grateful for this second chance.

Melissa A. Alink makes sustainable, inexpensive, prairie home living easy and accessible in her new book, Little House Living. Inspired by her love of Laura Ingalls Wilder's series of books and her practical approach to pioneering, Alink set out to modify her practices for the modern era. In this guide, you can find scratch-made recipes for everything from shampoo and conditioner to laundry detergent, from natural remedies for common ailments to art supplies and plenty of edible goods—both sweet and savory. Alink's Foaming Hand Soap is so simple, customizable and cost-efficient, you'll have a hard time spending your hard-earned cash on store-bought versions after you complete your first batch.
Foaming Hand Soap
You know those fancy little containers of foaming hand soap in the specialty stores? I always wanted to have those in my house someday. When I was growing up, a friend that I would often visit always had these in her house and I thought they were so neat and so special. Soap that foams? Amazing!
After I got married and had a house of my own, the reality check came. There was no way I was going to pay $6 or more for a tiny bottle of foaming soap that would get used up very quickly. No thank you, regular soap would work just fine for me. At least until I discovered how simple it is to make your own, not to mention extremely cost-effective. The Basic Foaming Hand Soap recipe below costs less than $0.50 per 8-ounce container.
Just a few minutes and a few ingredients are all you need. Foaming hand soap is really all about the dispenser, so you will also need to find a foaming soap dispenser. You can either reuse one that you already have or purchase them online, and they can be reused over and over again. The recipe below will fill an 8-ounce hand soap container. The basic recipe here is perfect if you have little ones because it does not contain essential oils.
Basic Foaming Hand Soap
Place all the ingredients in a foaming hand soap dispenser, shake to mix, and you are good to go!
Of course, you may want to spruce up the basic recipe a little bit, depending on who's using the soap and the time of year. On page 54 are two fun variations to try.
Antibacterial Foaming Hand Soap
Add all the ingredients to the foaming soap dispenser, shake and use.
Holiday Spice Foaming Hand Soap
Add all the ingredients to the foaming soap dispenser, shake and use.
The antibacterial soap is great for use in bathrooms, and we love the spicy scent around the holidays for a little holiday fun!
Money-Saving Tip: If you need a few drops of an essential oil that you don't plan on using often, consider splitting a bottle with a friend or borrowing it.

We've rounded up the best cookbooks for novices, adventurous home cooks and voracious foodies from the past year. From accessible odes to all things vegetarian to celebrations of comfort food, from grilling guides to celebrity collections, our list is sure to include something to inspire and sate any appetite.
Madhur Jaffrey is the reigning master of Indian cuisine, and with decades spent on perfecting her recipes and with many cookbooks published, it isn't difficult to see why. Her collection of 200 plus easy-to-make dishes is the perfect introduction to what everyday Indians make and eat at home.
Ruth Reichl, editor of Gourmet magazine for 10 years, was left adrift after the publication suddenly shuttered in 2009. So she disappeared into her kitchen and crafted a brilliant culinary memoir, My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life. You'll want to make every single dish, from Salmon with Rhubarb Glaze to Perfect Poundcake, alongside her.
Popular blogger and home cook Heidi Swanson of 101cookbooks.com brings a wonderfully diverse selection of vegetarian meals to life in Near & Far. Taste the flavors and signature dishes of Northern California, Morocco, Italy, Japan and more—all without leaving your own kitchen.
Barbecue lovers will delight in self-taught BBQ master Joe Carroll and Nick Fauchald's ode to the grill. With Carroll's 20 in-depth lessons, high quality meat, fish or vegetables and the right choice of wood, anyone can achieve barbecue nirvana.
Celebrate the bounty and signature dishes of New England with the help of Sarah Leah Chase's 300-plus recipes and gorgeous photographs in her anticipated follow-up to the Nantucket Open-House Cookbook. Chowders, crab-based dishes, sweet treats and winning Lobster recipes abound.
Pioneering Jewish vegetarian cook Fania Lewando first published The Vilna Vegetarian Cookbook in Yiddish in 1938, but all traces of her career and her life were wiped out after her death during the Holocaust in 1941. This piece of culinary history was recently rediscovered, and her healthy, bright Eastern European dishes are a delight.
British chef April Bloomfield follows up her celebration of all things pork (A Girl and Her Pig) with a bit of a surprising change of direction in A Girl and Her Greens. But this celebration of each season's harvests includes plenty of meaty additions, like Broccoli with Bacon, so omnivores shouldn't feel excluded.
If you're drawn to the warm, comforting dishes of Italian cuisine, then Nonna's House is the cookbook for you. In her book, Jody Saravella meticulously chronicles the recipes from the real Italian grandmothers that cook at her restaurant on Staten Island. This lovingly photographed and chatty book highlights Italian family tradition at its tastiest.
A fundamental cooking technique like braising may not sound like the most exciting subject for a cookbook, but Michael Ruhlman makes it surprisingly inspiring in How to Braise. The three basics of salting, searing and simmering are highlighted, and the iconic, meat-focused recipes are sure to become dinner table staples.
Don't write off the multi-award-winning actor's cookbook as a mere vanity project: The Tucci Table is a fabulously written, easy-to-follow guide to some truly delicious dishes. Recipes reflect Tucci's Italian-American heritage along with his wife's British background, resulting in a truly unique and diverse collection.
Author Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) is well respected for his intellectual commentary on the way we eat, cook and think about food in the U.S. So it's really no surprise that his mother and sisters are just as gifted and thoughtful in the culinary realm. This family-focused cookbook embraces fresh, whole foods while taking our busy lifestyles into account, making this a stress-free guide to eating well.

In The Three-Year Swim Club, Julie Checkoway explores the little-known story of Soichi Sakamoto, a Maui man who taught children to swim in sugar plantation irrigation ditches and turned them into champions. Our reviewer writes, "Checkoway's compelling narrative reveals the incredible odds Sakamoto and his team faced: meager budgets, exhausting travel via ship, discrimination in mainland pools [. . .] Through it all, he adhered to his vision to use "swimming as a means of teaching . . . children life values." (Read the review.)
We asked Checkoway to tell us about three books she's been reading lately.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Immediately after I finished what I thought was the last draft of The Three-Year Swim Club, I sustained a pretty nasty concussion. In the first days after the accident, I could do little; but within a week or so, I was longing to read. Reading was impossible, though, so I began listening to the audiobook of Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch. Processing sound turned out to be just as tiring as reading however, so each day of my recovery, I had to restrict how long I listened, attending to the audio one section at a time.
But I came to so crave hearing the book that I began to listen for a full hour at a time, then a full chapter, stopping to nap in between and waking again to listen to the story. After having written a book of nonfiction, it was freeing to listen to Tartt's in-depth constructions of the human mind, something that, at least in writing history, is hard to recreate. What was exquisite to me was Tartt's writing—so much has already been said of her fine, fine voice. I was particularly struck—pun intended—by her depiction of the main character's shaken consciousness in the wake of the literal and figurative blast that changes his life forever.
The explosion in the museum and the force of the concussion literally reverberated in my head. As he lay still in the blast's aftermath and then, ears ringing, began to make his way through his altered world through smoke and damage both physical and psychic, I couldn't help but think how his head injury—untreated throughout the book—affected everything he experienced thereafter. My own world had been altered by my concussion: I lost for a time the ability to walk in a straight line and easily retrieve language. Following the boy on his odyssey, the ruined painting a remnant of the formerly whole and seamless world in his possession, I felt hopeful and less alone: I'd have to wait for language and balance to come back to me, but in the meantime, I had Tartt to guide me through that murky time. I haven't seen anything written about this aspect of the book—how the concussion is a lens—but it certainly altered my own complex hearing of it.
City on Fire by Garth Risk Hallberg
Where Tartt's book is an internalized exploration of the concussed, Garth Risk Hallberg's City on Fire brilliantly explores the collision of historical and cultural forces in New York City during one of its most explosive decades. I remember the City on fire from my own point of view—my uncle owned a hardware store in Fort Apache, the Bronx, that was torched to the ground and looted in the great conflagration and violence that followed New York's infamous blackout—but Hallberg's book made me understand that personal moment in the larger moment of an apocalypse. Hallberg wasn't in New York at the time in question, but his book bears the imprimatur of exhaustive research that he's managed to metabolize into something more than history—and gorgeously. Of course, Tom Wolfe came to mind as I began to read, but it was Dickens who stayed with me as I reveled in Hallberg's encyclopedic and brilliant study of a world on the brink of chaos. I loved the book. Never mind the fact that I myself was so geeky and uncool back then (my musical tastes ran from the pedestrian and pop of Tony Orlando and Dawn to agitprop folk from the 60's), and Hallberg let me into a world I'd been too dorky to have the courage to enter: punk rock! Hallberg lit the city on fire in his novel, but he also lit a fire under me and sent me out to buy a turntable and some vintage vinyl.
Joppa Dreams (tentative title) by Joan Atchinson
At the moment, I'm finally turning my attention to fulfilling promises I made before I started writing the The Three-Year Swim Club. I believe it's important for writers to give back to other writers, especially to those who are in the beginnings of their careers. It can be terribly lonely out there when one is just starting—all too well do I remember the gnawing feelings of self-doubt and isolation that accompanied my early writing years. My dearest and most long-standing friend, Joan (nee Koski) Atchinson is at work on a first novel of great ambition and beauty. It's set in the small New England town in which we grew up together, a run-down port town in our time and before, a factory and mill town peopled by hard-working immigrants. Joan's book does not remind me of home, but instead transports me into another world: her re-imagining of our home. The noir-ish novel is set largely in the first half of the 20th century, and it is salted with the kinds of characters one finds in an Edith Wharton novel, primarily those in Ethan Frome—those kinds of people who are burdened with some lingering illness or deformity and have a story to tell, a compelling story, one from which it is impossible to turn away. I have great hopes for Joan's novel, and I hope that I can be of help in getting it out into the world.
Thanks, Julie!

Attention, lovers of fantastical fiction: These two recent announcements just might make your day. Deborah Harkness, author of the best-selling All Souls trilogy, has just sold another book set in the same world to Viking. The Serpent's Mirror, the first in a new series, will explore historical riddles surrounding the ascent of Elizabeth I to the throne and feature characters from the original trilogy, including vampire Matthew Clairmont and historian Diana Bishop.
And Helene Wecker, whose mythology-steeped debut novel, The Golem and the Jinni, made the bestseller and "best" lists back in 2013, has just made a two-book deal with her editor at HarperCollins. The Iron Season, tentatively scheduled for 2018, is a sequel, and will follow the titular characters through World War I. On her Facebook page, Wecker says that she "had two massive false starts before I arrived at something that felt sequel-worthy," but has completed a detailed outline and expects to spend the next two years writing the book, which finds Chava and Aham encountering "beings of their own kind, only to realize that their close ties to human beings have forever altered them."

Loving life & looking for someone to share it with.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my profile. I thought I'd try this online dating thing... you never know, right? It's great to meet new people and try new things. Carpe diem, I say! Let's see... a little about me: I'm passionate about and genuinely love my life. I think just about anything can be fun with the right attitude and laughter. I love to laugh and do it often. I believe it's good for the soul and keeps us young. Life's too short to be miserable, so find away to be happy. I moved to CA almost three years ago from the Midwest. I packed everything I could in to my Jeep and drove out here. While I miss some of my family and friends back home, I absolutely LOVE it out here. One of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm a very honest person - sometimes, to a fault. Even though I like to have fun, I'm not into playing games. You know where I'm coming from and never have to guess where I stand. I find things are much more simple this way. I don't feel an overhelming need to fall in love ASAP. I'd like to meet someone with whom I can share things in my life, but am not desperate to fill any kind of a void. I think it would be nice to meet new people in a no pressure manner, just see what happens. Easy enough, yes? I'm looking for someone who likes adventure, yet can appreciate the simple things in life, as well. Above all else, I need someone who's going to be honest... even if it's something I might not want to hear. Players need not apply. If you're easy-going, positive and honest I'd like to hear from you soon. Thanks!

The Punky Brewster star is already setting up play dates between Wyatt and her new son, Lyric
"I would like my daughter to experience a world where gender doesn't dictate one's responsibility or limit ones opportunity," Kutcher writes
The actor took to Facebook to complain about the lack of baby equipment available to all the dads out there, writing, "There are NEVER diaper changing stations in mens public restrooms."
The Jupiter Ascending star also called Ashton Kutcher an "incredible father"
"I love the fact that the first three months, she and I were up every night," she says
Only four months after welcoming daughter Wyatt Isabelle, the Jupiter Ascending star showed up for the Los Angeles premiere of her new sci-fi film

I am a beginning knitter (one year). I am knitting a baby hat with a lace pattern. I have started and redone this section about four times and I keep making mistakes. A round has 96 stitches and the lace pattern is
Round 1: (k, p, k2, p, k )
Round 2: (k, p, yo, ssk, p, k)
Round 3: (k, p, k2, p, k )
Round 4: (k, p, k2tog, yo, p, k )
Coud I drop down the middle part of the pattern with the yarn overs and decreases and then pick it back up or will that just be too hard to do? That is the place where I seem to make the mistakes and I don't notice them until I am several rows past. I tried just picking them up without the yarn overs and decreases, but then I lost the lace pattern. Is it possible to pick up yarn overs and decreases without wrecking the whole thing?
First, my sympathy, Elaine.
I am looking forward to advice here.
Doesn't Craftsy have a lace knitting class that includes how to correct early mistakes? So far, it's tink, tink, rippit at my house.
------I try all things. I achieve what I can. "Moby Dick"
We stand here confronted by insurmountable opportinities. Pogo
Yarn harlot has a tutural on how to fix mistakes in lace knitting
Although it would be a bit tedious, you could put a lifeline in every 4 rows. That way, if you screw up you only have to go back 4 rows to have a clean start.
It is possible to drop down and fix the stitches. You need to have a good eye for which row you are on and how many stitches that drop down section should have. I have done it occasionally successfully in a pattern such as yours but generally I find it a bit too difficult. My problem is that ever if I can correct it, I'll usually get up a few rows and then realize that I corrected it but did something else wrong - like twisted the stitches.
I would recommend you do this sitting at a table with good light. I screw it up more if I try to do it sitting in my normal chair/couch.
Good luck.
------"The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln
I second JEF's suggestion to use a lifeline, at least until you're more comfortable knitting lace. I've been knitting for about 50 years and still use a lifeline for complicated patterns until I find the "rhythm" of the pattern.
You can add a lifeline now below the last row you know to be correct, then rip down to that row. Or, and this is very tedious but easier in the long run, unpick your knitting stitch by stitch until you get to the error.
Love them lifelines! As JEF said, they really help until you get the feeling for the pattern.
Please- what's a lifeline? I knit socks and have never heard this term.
It is a contrasting thread you run through a line of knitting when working with a lace pattern, to mark a row that begins the pattern, or a stable row with no yarnovers, increases, decreases, or anything funny going on.
Here's one description.
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up ripping out the lace work and have started all over. I am using markers between every repeat; that is a marker every six stitches. It is proving to be very helpful. I have already caught several mistakes and was able to fix them before I got too far along. I will also put in a lifeline after a row with no yarn overs or decreases. With any luck, I will be able to finish this baby hat before the baby is a teenager.
