Ripples in Space…
Once in a while, I get an epiphany.
The last of such occurred in 2013, when I decided on a course of action that allowed me to follow my heart's call. That call came in the form of someone who is now a consistent presence, and a close companion in my daily life: Leah Winters. It was very much a culmination of overwhelming feelings of joy, love, desire, passion, and all that is wonderful in life.
But reaching farther into the past, I recall the summer, prior to my final year of undergraduate studies, at a particularly low point in my life, when for no discernible reason, I received an enlightening realization of the future that lay ahead of me. The same realization led me to the subsequent decisions I made in the wake of the feelings I reciprocated with Leah, along with my family, and myself in the years that followed.
And so, now, when I look in the mirror, I see not my reflection, but more of a window in time, portraying the varying facets of my identity that I have embraced, shunned, and some that I have yet to confront.
A year from now, I will complete my Masters degree. Where then? How do I find a place for myself in this world?
I have always dreamed of being at the forefront of something that may be greater than myself. I have dreamed of being a pioneer, and an innovator. I have always had a deep wish to help others around me, and this world. Yet, I struggled to understand how I could achieve any such thing, when at first I truly couldn't comprehend how to help myself.
It was at this point when I ultimately realized something new. Couldn't it be possible that I may achieve all the same by in fact pursuing those same dreams, despite my own inner conflicts? That the answers I seek are not hidden, but rather await my own inner resolve to move forward?
And because of this, I can't help but laugh at what a wonderful day it has been, and what a wonderful life I have had.
It is filled with its fair share of misgivings, but beckons in a grand adventure that I am to experience. It is quite similar to a perpetual game of hide, and seek, but one that could only be initiated if I had the courage to step forward, even as I am blind, to what awaits me in this life.
The passing of time seems quite dramatic amidst the company of such thoughts. It is frightening, and yet somehow comforting. I find it beautiful that life is filled with such sweet dichotomies…
And so, I now say to my reflection, "Take a step forward, not in doubt of what you expect to achieve in your life, but in anticipation of what you may not, and strive to make what may not necessarily be possible now, a reality, so that one day, you can look back, in satisfaction, not at window in time, but rather perpetual ripples in space, left in your wake, among the lives of those who you have influenced, the hearts of those you have touched, and the dreams of those you have inspired, and realize a life that is complete not by your singular individuality, but by those whose lives are complete, because of yours…"

Contemplating Differences
This will be the first of the many posts I will present on my blog on a weekly basis. In general, my posts will range from addressing various topics of interest: daily musings, current events, philosophy, scientific topics etc.
I welcome my readers to respond, and comment, but please do so in a respectable manner.
A new adventure beckons in the life of someone I hold dear to my heart. My younger sister, Beatrice, will soon embark on a wonderful journey as she pursues higher studies at university.
A few days ago, she had sent me a message detailing her excitement, and her anxieties, as she confronted the gradual changes in her life. Much of her concerns were directed towards the past few years, filled with short stints at different schools in Sierra Leone, India, and finally at UK where she had completed her schooling.
Despite being absent for the most part, I was still able to relate to her, and reached out with comforting words, hoping to share the measly bit of wisdom I had gained in my own life, during that same period of time, when I worked hard to obtain my BSc. degree at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
I was left with many things to contemplate about after our interaction. I found it difficult to accept that the little girl I had once known as my baby sister was now a young woman moving forward with great passion, and determination on her own personal journey.
The thought was a gentle touch of perspective of the time that had passed, and the differences that had crept into my life, and that of my family.
Reaching back to where I once stood as a young teen of 16 years, to where I am now, a young man of 23, I can say with some confidence that, so far, I have lived my life satisfactorily without any regrets.
I had the wonderful opportunity to complete my primary, secondary, and higher-secondary education at international schools, as my family traveled around the world. This may have spear-headed the natural incentive I chose in challenging the world view I was exposed to.
Such a course of action demanded the need to openly confront, and understand the differences I faced in the people I met, the cultures I experienced, and the life I chose to lead. In many ways, it has been a crucial factor towards structuring my identity, and beliefs as an individual.
Change comes hand-in-hand with those differences, and I have met my greatest challenge in sharing, and helping my loved ones understand those same changes. I have learned to live my life, with openness, yet dictating my choices solely out of my own free will, the one part of me that I have never ascribed vulnerable to outer influence.
But, isn't accepting influence a necessary factor towards understanding, and contemplating differences in the choices we make? It is a puzzle that I am yet to solve. Much rests on the solution I find, and a difficult one at that it will be.
But for now, I am happy, and glad to continue my daily ruminations on this subject…
Though at times, I feel that the differences that I identify may be the cause of distance between me, and my family, it hasn't at one bit relegated my love for them.
After all that has been said, I'm very proud of you Beatrice. You have followed a path very similar to mine, and have now begun to confront those same changes, and differences. I look forward to seeing where these questions will take you, and the answer you will find. I love you sweet-heart!
I would also like to use this occasion to give my heartiest congrats to one other special person who is dear to me, Leah Winters ,my girlfriend, who recently graduated, and successfully completed her BSc. degree, and is set to contemplate on the impending changes,and differences of her life with me!

It's good to be back!
Hi everyone,
It has been a busy few months since my last post, but I've now successfully completed the first year of my Masters. I am currently spending my summer working as a research assistant, and focusing predominantly on my thesis!
This summer has also provided its share of delights, in particular, the publication of my two research papers, which for anyone who is in the field of Biophysics, feel free to check the following links!
(1) " Reconstructing folding energy landscapes from splitting probability analysis of single-molecule trajectories" PNAS 2015 ; published ahead of print May 26, 2015, doi:10.1073/pnas.1419490112
(2) "Transition-Path Probability as a Test of Reaction-Coordinate Quality Reveals DNA Hairpin Folding Is a One-Dimensional Diffusive Process"
Krishna Neupane, Ajay P. Manuel, John Lambert, and Michael T. Woodside
Phys. Chem. Lett., 2015, 6(6), pp 1005–1010, DOI:10.1021/acs.jpclett.5b00176
Though my thesis work has precedence, I hope to dedicate an hour or so every day to focus on my writing. As such, I am happy to say that after a year of brainstorming, I have finally begun working on my latest short novel. I can can hint that it revolves around the daily struggles of two different people of varying backgrounds, cultures etc. and how those differences come to play in their lives, and subsequent meeting.
Unlike "Our Last Summer" where I intentionally catered my writing for a younger audience, my new short novel will be geared towards an older audience. Consequently, my progress has been a lot slower in comparison, but I am aiming to complete the novel by this September.
Two more writing projects are to follow afterwards, but more about that later ;)
As I mentioned in the previous post, over the course of the coming days, I will be slowly transforming this blog from its original purpose as a marketing tool for "Our Last Summer" to a general author/ "something" page.
I intend to post at least one or two big messages on a weekly basis. This may range from just general posts on my daily life, my thoughts on the current events of the world, updates on my writing, the promotion of my old, and new works, my scientific work etc.
I encourage discussion as long as it is not offensive to any other members of the blog. I also look forward to interacting with everyone who has been following my blog so far :)
As mentioned earlier, this blog will serve as the base of my communication, but my posts will be automatically rerouted to my other pages as well:
I promise to do my best in keeping everyone notified of the changes, and look forward to interacting with you all!

A Fellow Author's Review of Our Last Summer
It's been more than a year since the publication of "Our Last Summer," and I have finally received a review of my book from a fellow author, and one who is very close to my heart.
Here's a review of the book from my sister, and budding author, Beatrice Manuel!
"Our Last Summer: A Personal Memoir" by Ajay Peter Manuel
One of the reading challenges on the list is to read a memoir and I figured – hey! It just so happens that my brother has a published book which is a memoir – why not read that? And so I did.
Our Last Summer is the journey of a teenager's transition into adulthood through his various experiences through friendship, family, and love. We delve into the writer's past as he reminisces of his time in high school that helped him to become the person he is today. As the blurb above suggests, this ranges from many things that we can all relate to on some level – relationships with people that have opened our eyes to what true friendship is about, our first experience with 'crushing' on someone and finding the will to have your heart move on from the hurt of a betrayal. Our Last Summer has something to offer everyone, especially to those who too are fond of their years in high school.
Life always presents us with hurdles and reality doesn't come without its share of regrets, but you can always make one hell of a nice story about it.
The memoir, of course, employs the narrative voice of a first person point of view. We slip into the shoes and mindset of the writer as he shares his story with us. The 'characters', in this case are not fictional, but actual people. If at all, it only makes it easier to relate to them.
We all have that extremely close friend who we think of as a brother or sister. We've also had our share of first crushes and infatuations that later had us going: 'what had gotten into my mind?' Reading this book, I was able to connect to the various personalities I came across, bearing in mind my own experiences and friends that I've had as well.
I also loved the style in which the memoir was written. First and foremost, each chapter started off with a small quote that kind of foreshadows what the chapter will be covering. I found that each quote tied in nicely with the chapter while reading, in a way enhancing the message that Ajay Peter Manuel is trying to get through and at the same time, posing questions to the reader.
Be it success, joy, failure, or disappointment, a man who lives freely should be able to accept the reality of such experiences; even when all is lost, continue to live with hope and dream to strive for the best.
Our Last Summer isn't only explored through chapters narrating the events of his high school life but the writer also includes poetry, lyrics, and journal entries to bring forth the raw emotions he was feeling at the time. The poems and songs were beautifully written to fit into the mood the chapter brings forth, and delving into his journal entries was a good change from the narration, giving us a more personal insight. I also loved the bits and pieces of light humor and jokes that pop up in the novel from time to time.
She said, "I hate you!" Three words—and she might as well have killed me then.
The only possible drawback I could say there was to this novel is the pacing. Some may find that the pacing of the story is slow, and at certain parts it did seem to drag on. But also, I have to keep in mind that this piece is a memoir. I can see that Ajay Peter Manuel is simply trying to paint a full picture in the minds of the readers and to explore the spectrum of emotions he feels to help take us back on this journey with him.
Our Last Summer is a wondrous blend of poetry and prose, that not only shares the story of the writer himself but a story we have all lived, or will live, at some point in this miracle called life. Through his journey, we recount our own and it's a melancholic and bittersweet read. Having putting the book down, I felt lighter, happier and had my own walk down memory lane (as cliche as that sounds).
In life, when you bring people together, share your lives together, indulging in their emotions as they do in yours, you risk changing things and losing control. It's all chaos – until you look back and realize that the only thing you can do is record time as it passes so that even when everything around us is in motion, we still have the permanence of memories.
Ajay Peter Manuel not only invites us to revisit the memories he formed as a budding young man in high school, but reminds us of the beauty of forming our own."

A New Journey
Hi everyone,
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize to all my friends, and fellow word press followers, for my absence.
My last post was on November 28, 2013. My absence was largely built around the busy schedule of my personal life, and the journey that I ventured upon for the past year and a half.
This journey of mine was filled with many adventures.It was a time where I confronted, and came to terms with many things at a personal level in my life. I am glad that through the onset of it all I have been supported by my friends, and family. I know that I am yet to see the end of this new adventure, not that I want it to end anytime soon.
Meanwhile, I also successfully obtained a BSc. in Honors Astrophysics, and am now in pursuit of a MSc. in Physics. Immersed in the cascade of events that accompanied my journey led me to depart from writing actively, and in retrospect, it seems like I took a short sabbatical.
But life would knock on my door again, this time to renew my writing, and so I did. Our Last Summer will always be a cherished memory of my heart. It was my first published work, and I brought the fervor, and motivation of a young teenager to the words I shared in my personal memoir. Slowly but surely, time has come to pass…
And with that a new journey has begun. A journey that I wish to share with everyone. I will consistently promote Our Last Summer at every opportunity I get through this blog. At the same time, I am hoping to reach out via a different means to my audience. Just as much as I have transformed, so will this blog for the sake of this new adventure, that will not only highlight a new me, but also more writing!
I'd like to once again thank my friends, and family, and all those who had followed this blog in its earliest days. I would be glad to have you join me in this adventure again.

Buying the books :)
Hi everyone,
Just a quick note on where one could purchase my book.
For most part, I suggest that interested readers order the book online via common booksellers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and through the websites for popular bookstores.
It is quite difficult as an upcoming self published author to get the book to be hosted by a bookstore, needless to say the unlimited amount of paper work that has to be done for that.
I have been busy with my own life as well as I look forward to my future, though I do have the hopes of starting on my newer works including a romantic comedy, a political crime thriller and a few others etc.
I am contemplating the possibility of sharing my work at the online writing website of Protagonize. Time will tell.
Aside from that, look forward to a press release early next year concerning the book. Progress is slow, but I also have plans to submit my manuscript for the Alberta Readers Choice Award contest, so for all my Edmontonian fans, make sure you vote when the time comes
Thank you all for the support!
First review from a Fan
So I got the first review from a fan/close friend of mine on the book, and I'm very glad
to know that people are enjoying it
In her words, she basically said that the book covers what she feels is the "bliss of youth."
Now am wishing I had that statement as a promotional subtitle.
Either way, I'm glad to hear that people are liking the book

The last post that I wrote here on this blog was about Riding Full Circle Through Depression with my sister, a post about how I felt, in a way, like I had conquered my own battle with depression just a little bit because of a success I had in accomplishing a posse end goal of wanting to go horseback riding on the beach.
Shortly after I wrote that, I came online to discover that a good Internet friend of mine, someone who also battled severe depression and whose journey was not so dissimilar from my own, succumbed to suicide this week. My initial reaction to the news was a mixture of shock, sadness and fear (which I wrote about here).
As the days have gone on, I've continued to have a wide range of emotions. Life feels filled withe extreme news right now, in both good and bad directions, and there are moments where I feel like I'm in the middle of that achieving balance but most of the time it's swelling clearly one way or the other.
This difficult news came during a week or so of other difficult news from other places around my life. I want to keep the details private because the stories are not my own to share; they are hard experiences of death, illness, sickness and life changes that are affecting some of the people closest to me in my life. Good friends, my beaux, people I love are being impacted by really tough things in life. It seems like it's happening all around me right now.
All of those things are affecting me, as I pull to the center and hold the stillness for some of these people. But Wink's suicide affected me, personally, in a strangely more direct way. I say strangely because I didn't know Wink "in real life" but had communicated with her periodically over the past several years online after interviewing her about her experience with Asperger's, loneliness and severe depression for my book, Crochet Saved My Life. Even when we weren't communicating directly, I was abreast of many things happening with her through social media and blogging. She felt, in a way, like a close friend, and in another way like someone I didn't know at all and that's brought up a lot of strange feelings in and of itself. Those feelings are complicated by the fact that we specifically met and connected over the topic of depression, a journey that we've both been taking for many years.
I wrote on my crochet blog about these feelings (linked above) and received so many responses this week from people who are also feeling similar things. Many, many people are saying that they are experiencing grief over losing Wink and they don't quite know how to place it since they "only" knew her online. Our society doesn't have a good way of understanding or handling the impact of this type of loss yet. Many have said that they don't feel like their families understand why they are crying and devastated over losing an Internet friend. There's a sense of isolation.
So, so many of these people have shared their own stories with me (on my blog, in my Ravelry group, through other social media channels and in private emails) about how depression has affected them. Many have said that they were suicidal in the past, some that they are struggling with suicidal ideation now (note, please seek the support that you need if you are feeling this way – reach out to friends, family, crisis hotlines or even the ER). Others have shared their stories about people in their own lives who have caved to suicide.
It's been hard, in a way, to read about all of this struggle and sadness. And in another way, it's been so incredibly uplifting to see the crochet/ craft/ online community come together to give each other support in this time. So many people have reached out to me, left comments on the blog post by Wink's sister and connected to each other to encourage one another and express their feelings about this loss. I had known immediately that I wanted to do something to honor Wink and channel my many complex feelings while helping the community so I created the #MandalasForMarinke project and it's gotten tons of amazing support already. I hope it's helping people as an outlet to craft through their feelings and I hope it will achieve my aim of raising awareness about the difficulty of depression.
This is just one of several amazing things on the positive side of the spectrum of emotions. Another is that I just got accepted to be a Text Crisis Counselor (like a hotline but via text; see video below for more info on how this helps people).
Apparently only one third of the applications this round got accepted so that's an honor and I've started my intensive training for that this week. It's a great next step for me in terms of giving back to the community, helping others experiencing mental health and other crisis issues and figuring out what I want to do with my own graduate degree as I move forward. In addition to these things, there's been other great news in the lives around me, touching the people I love.
So there are these extremes – of loss and sadness and of growth and connection. In the big spectrum of life, this creates balance and I get glimpses of this balance in moments during the day. But in such quick back-to-back succession, these extremes are in deep contrast to each other and can feel overwhelming in some moments. I'm grateful to have the community support that I have and the internal resources for self-care that I've developed over time.

I am thankful that my 96 year old mother left with the Angels on Monday, September 7, 2015. She lived in a worldly body ravaged by Alzheimer's after she stopped speaking, eating, an drinking except for the morphine to ease the pain each time she was touched. I'm thankful that she's with my father, her siblings, and parents that all went before her. I'm thankful she's now in a heavenly body and state of mind. R. I. P. Mommy.

I have been the sole caregiver for my mother and brother for the past ten years plus and today is my birthday. I am 58 and I wasn't asked ,"What do you want for your birthday?" If I had been asked , maybe I would say something like this: Probably not what you would think and definitely not what any normal person would ask for but I would like to go the entire day, the full twenty four hours and not have to cook , fetch, tote or carry anything for anybody. I do not want to have to touch or smell anybody else's urine or feces in any way. I do not want to have to cook any food, not even make a sandwich. I do not want to have to treat any wounds or see anybody else's body parts at all. I do not want to hear a phone or buzzer ring to summon me. I want to sleep until I decide to get up and not when somebody else wants me to or needs something. I want to go to sleep when I am tired or just because I want a nap. I want to pick up my crochet hook and not put it down until I am tired of crocheting. I want to read a book, listen to my music, go out if I want on a moments notice without asking or telling anyone. I want to shop without hearing my cell phone ring and go to all the stores I want and look at anything I want and go home when I decide to, not when I have to . I want to drive and drive, only stopping if I choose too, not when I have reached the end of my chain or my time limit. I want to drive over the city line, county line, state line and maybe several state lines. I want to drive all night if I decide to, just because I am a free woman of legal age and it is my right to do so . I want to soak in the bath tub for hours until my fingertips are all wrinkly and I feel so very clean and the stench of sickness is washed away. I want to wear pretty clothes that may not be soil resistant and not have to worry about them getting ruined by blood, urine or feces. I want to watch the sun rise, watch it set and lie on my back looking at the night stars for as long as I feel is necessary to maintain my sanity. I want to drive to the ocean , just to stand and stare at it for hours on end. I want quiet , peace and no responsibility , even if it is only for a short time. I want to own my life and my person again for just a little while. God, I need a vacation. It's been over ten years now, have I earned one yet?

I am thankful that I am privileged to care for my husband of 54 years as he begins a new journey needing more of my help every day. It is a joy to be the one to care for him. This journey has made me a better person as I have replaced frustration with compassion, negativity with positivity, and am enjoying the wonderful moments we can still have together. It's not easy but with the right attitude and deep faith, it works.

I am thankful that God has said He will never leave me or forsake me.....I am not alone on this last journey with my earthly dad and with all the care that is needed. My heavenly Father never changes or grows old. When all will have been said and done, despite the daily struggles, it will have been a blessing to have been chosen to care for him and have him living with us....till the end of his earthy life.

All for which I am
That ELOHIM/GOD sent me to Earth through
Arthur and Clemonteese Foulkes, my parents,
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States

That Arthur and Clemonteese chose to wait
four years after their marriage to bring me
into this world, assuring me that I was
planned for and wanted; and, because I was
their first and only, that they had given me
back to Elohim/God as their first fruits
gift to Him.
That Arthur and Clemonteese, though
divorced in my 6th year (1962) continued to

AND to be my parents, and taught me to
value, to embrace, and to love BOTH SIDES of

that I needed – the greatest of which was
Love: The Love of Elohim/God, of

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this recipe. It is exactly as the titles infers. I needed something different that was quick and that I could make from what I had on hand. This certainly worked. I served this today for lunch which is our main meal as hubby works 2nd shift. He made happy noises the whole time he was eating and he went back for seconds. I added hot Italian sausage along with the hamburger, mushrooms, the very little mozzarella that I had, some Parmesan and some pepper flakes. I asked hubby if he would eat it again and he replied with a resounding yes. He suggested the addition of black olives next time. Thank you again for sharing and this is one that stays in the recipe file.
I've made this a few times & enjoy changing up some of the ingredients. Usually I reduce the pasta, increase the beef & add in some finely chopped jalapeno pepper. For a variation, sometimes I add mushrooms, celery &/or broccoli. Enjoyed the flavours, thanks for sharing.
This was really good. I was craving some type of a spaghetti "thing" and found this today. Ran to the market to grab the makings, and had a wonderful supper. The family really enjoyed it. I added mushrooms, black olives and 1/2 packet of spaghetti seasoning, the McCormick kind. I used less pasta than called for but it was plenty. I'm thinking some sour cream next time?? Anyway, it filled my large temptations dish so I don't have to cook tonight! YIPPEE!! That always makes for a good day!! Thanks for a super duper recipe.
This turned out great. I did change a few things to what I had on hand rather than running to the store. Used 2 cans of tomato soup , one can of tomatoes in garlic and basil, and only half the amount of noodles. All in all it was very quick to make and good tasting.
A delicious family meal, tasty and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I made this for a recipe-sharing family potluck dinner w/DH's brother & his family where I was to bring a starter, main course & dessert. All dishes had to be kid-pleasers for the benefit of their 5 & 6 yr olds. I could not imagine anything more kid-pleasing than spaghetti & I was right. They loved it, but had typical kid-pleaser preferences, so I doubled the recipe & made an expanded more adult version too. For both versions, I used regular spaghetti, canned garlic spaghetti sauce instead of tomato soup, halved the water & added egg. Mushrooms, black olives, chopped fresh tomato & extra garlic were added to the adult version, but neither had green pepper as I did not have any. I added all the cheddar cheese to the spaghetti mixture, topped w/Parmesan & baked in springform pans. They cut easily & were huge hits just served w/garlic bread. Pls see my rating system - a very worthy 4 stars. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
This was interesting! I had to make some changes, but not drastic ones or anything- I used regular spaghetti, 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup and regular tomato soup (both cans were 10.75 ounces, not 10 ounces). So since I didn't use cream of tomato soup, I added 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk. Overall, this made a nice dinner that I enjoyed very much! However, my brother said "This is nasty" and I didn't get a lot of postive feedback from the others. I liked it though, so it gets a 4! A great way to stretch a pound of ground beef too! Thanks!
This was a breeze to put together and very tasty. I didn't use green peppers because the kids won't eat them, so I added celery instead. Also I didn't have angel hair pasta but spagettini seemed to work just as well.
We all liked this, using angel hair like you listed was perfect, any other pasta I think would have made it to 'heavy' tasting. I didn't have any crean of tomato soup so I added some milk and less water. Would not change a thing, was very tasty and it assembled quickly, and cut beautifully. Thanks for an enjoyable supper Marsha D!

Everyday Book Culture from Consumerism to Control
Ted Striphas argues that, although the production and propagation of books have undoubtedly entered a new phase, printed works are still very much a part of our everyday lives. With examples from trade journals, news media, films, advertisements, and a host of other commercial and scholarly materials, Striphas tells a story of modern publishing that proves, even in a rapidly digitizing world, books are anything but dead.
From the rise of retail superstores to Oprah's phenomenal reach, Striphas tracks the methods through which the book industry has adapted (or has failed to adapt) to rapid changes in twentieth-century print culture. Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Amazon.com have established new routes of traffic in and around books, and pop sensations like Harry Potter and the Oprah Book Club have inspired the kind of brand loyalty that could only make advertisers swoon. At the same time, advances in digital technology have presented the book industry with extraordinary threats and unique opportunities.
Striphas's provocative analysis offers a counternarrative to those who either triumphantly declare the end of printed books or deeply mourn their passing. With wit and brilliant insight, he isolates the invisible processes through which books have come to mediate our social interactions and influence our habits of consumption, integrating themselves into our routines and intellects like never before.
"This collection of historical and commercial analysis should fascinate those seriously involved with book culture and/or the industry." — Publishers Weekly
"Forget the premature obituaries for books and reading. Striphas insists that books remain a vital presence in the twenty-first century." — Booklist
"The Late Age of Print is an important history of the book and their impact on (mostly) American culture." — Sacramento Book Review
"It is rare to say of a university press hardcover that it is a "must-read," but for those interested in the confluence of culture and economics as it relates to books, that is what The Late Age of Print is." — Richard Nash, Critical Flame
"This book is a gold mine of information and thought about book culture in the 20th and 21st centuries." — Gwen M. Gregory, Information Today
"A solid work of scholarship that fills in several significant gaps... Highly Recommended." — Choice
"A magnificent achievement that makes a compelling series of arguments about the continuing importance of books and book publishing." — Publishing Research Quarterly
"Striphas does an excellent job." — Alan Jacobs, Books and Culture
"What is it that you purchase when you buy a book? In describing the answer, [Striphas]
is admirably clear about the choices publishers or booksellers made, and why." — Technology and Culture
"The Late Age of Print is exciting, clear, topical, interesting, and important. Ted Striphas has a voracious curiosity and is a great finder of material. How many of us have reflected on the history of bookshelves or have bothered to understand the mechanics of ISBN numbers or their political-economic-intellectual significance? Who knew the full story behind Oprah's Book Club, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble? This book provides a fine overview of the best English-language scholarship on books and print culture. Tackling the broad meaning of books over the past century, it says something broader about life in our era. Striphas gives the best integrated overview of the book in our moment and participates in public debates about education, literature, culture, and capitalism." — John Durham Peters, University of Iowa, and author of Courting the Abyss: Free Speech and the Liberal Tradition
"Neither overly alarmist nor excessively nostalgic about the fate of books in a digital age, The Late Age of Print provides a lucid, balanced view of how books are changing in response to a fast-evolving media environment. Ted Striphas proves to be a highly reliable guide to the question of what might happen to books and book reading in the years to come. He will interest anyone who has ever wondered how writing and reading will be conducted in the future." — Janice Radway, Northwestern University, and author of A Feeling for Books: The Book-of-the-Month Club, Literary Taste, and Middle-Class Desire
"I thought I understood American publishing. After reading this work, I am struck by how little I actually knew." — Siva Vaidhyanathan, University of Virginia, and author of The Anarchist in the Library: How the Clash Between Freedom and Control is Hacking the Real World and Crashing the System

Both are part of Bank of America. I would think that Merrill Edge is taking lots of business away from the over charging financial advisors, right? Is Merrill Edge any good? How does it compare to ML Wealth Management, mlpa or whatever?
Simple _ Merrill Lynh Advisors - advise - an plan your packages - which you pay for their services - $$ Merrill Edge - is - do it yourself - an depends on the amount you have invested to the cost .! their costs are self exploratory in the print .!
What is the point of paying an advisor? They charge like 1% of your account and if you have over a million or so that is alot of money. It has been proven, for example, that most mutual fund managers cannot beat the market..so why pay an advisor..who will probably just buy mutual funds..which add to the fees. Why not just buy, say, the permanent portfolio and forget about it. No constant fees. I used advisors and have lost my #$%$ on what they sold me. They are the only ones who have made money off of my money...not me.

I'm at JFK right now, my flight backto London is at 6:30pm and I got to the airport at 3pm. So now I just have to sit around and browse BF, while that's no bad thing, being away from everything (including BF) for two weeks was a great refresher. Anyway, I have a massage booked in another 45 minutes to ease the pain of having not much to do and plenty of time to do it in.
And that's all.
Actually, I might as well tell you that I hired one of those bikes that everyone curses, one of those that you get from Wallmart. Dont recall the name, something like a Huffy but not quite a Huffy. BUT IT WAS REAL COMFORTABLE compared to my road bike. That thing just glided over bumps and I soon found myself not having to lift my 4SS over ANY bumps. It was slow as heck though but I managed to get to various places in Manhattan on it. I'll post a review when I upload the pics.
I was looking at prices and for the first time I was amazed that the UK IS CHEAPER THAN USA. For example a Specialized Tarmac Comp is about £100 cheaper in UK. Fancy that huh?

Discussion in 'The Healthy Penis' started by nativeuc81, Jul 16, 2013.
Most being uncut sucks cause most chicks n dudes don't like it in my area
Too bad, I would almost say the opposite in mine
Why do you say that? Yeah ppl don't like uc Dick
well from the ads I have seen on CL or mentions on adam, not true here
It's sad that we've moved culturally into a mindset where the preference is for cut. Then again, when that's a "norm," something different may or may not have appeal.
Personally, I love uncut dudes, and kind of wish I hadn't been cut.
Happy with either myself, not an issue
Yeah I like my uc Dick. No complaints wish others did
Never met any woman who's cared. They care more about who it's attached to.
a pic would be great
People who are shallow and douchey about that are likely to be shallow and douchey about just about everything. Just be glad they're showing you their true colours so you can step right over them to someone better.
I don't think I can agree with this assertion. I'm uncut, I don't like it...and I find it a turn off in other men. I also find ridiculously obese men a turn off. It's just a preference I have...kind of like how women don't do anything to stimulate me sexually. Does THAT make me "shallow and douchey?" I think not, it's just part of the human condition. It's the same reason I like spinach but can't stomach turnip greens. I'm sure there are things about some men that kill the deal for you, too...
The way I see it, there's a pretty big difference between not liking someone because they have foreskin, or eyebrows, or fingers, or any of the other things that routinely come with being a human, and not liking someone because they don't have the body shape that turns you on.
I've never had a complaint. Most ladies are intrigued by it and enjoy exploring it.
nice cock shankity
I have looked at "Personals" ads and a huge number of them say "Uncut to the front of the line" or "Uncut is A+". Rarely do you see "No uncuts".
Yes, my area too
. Certainly is a narcisistic concern. And a cultural trend. In areas where there is not circumcision, a cut cock must seems abnormal. And viceversa.
Personally I prefer the head cover when soft and fully retractil in erection. The best of both choices. But is a mere matter of tastes and preferences.
As "a pic would be great" you can find some here:
Thanks buddy.
It sucks for THEM, not you. They are the ones who are dumb and don't know anything. You're LUCKY you're uncut. It's a gift.
I am cut but don't mind a cut or uncut, if the person is nice in general their cock is good to me Provided its clean .. When I first started seeing guys I thought uncut was not nice, but that was until I started exploring them.. So all good either way for me

It's back to the classroom for schools across the east, including John cotton Taylor Elementary School in Washington.
Teachers in Beaufort County tell WITN that they used their snow vacation to re-work their lesson plans.
The recent snow storm closed schools in Beaufort County for four days.
East Carolina University is also back to school, after missing three and a half days due to the snow.
The question of when to make up all those snow days is now on the table.
According to a 2012 Faculty Senate Resolution at ECU, end-of-semester reading days and Good Friday are listed as designated make up days.
The Faculty Senate will meet this week to determine exactly when the snow days will be made up.
For Beaufort County schools, officials say they can tack them on the end of the school year or take away from Spring Break or Easter Break. Saturday School is even a make up option.
As for the students, some say they're prepping for a heavy workload.
ECU Student Andrew Bawben says, "It's definitely a lot of work that's been piled up since we had a week off. It gave you an opportunity to catch up on the work but a lot of students like myself didn't take that opportunity serious and I just kind of relaxed the whole week and went sledding. So coming back to school, I have a lot of work that I have to catch up with and a lot of tests I have to prepare for."

Many researchers believe that the test methods used to characterize aggregates do not give producers the tools they need to correctly predict how those aggregates will impact concrete performance. The criteria producers have used to purchase their aggregates are about to dramatically change. While proper grading of the individual particles will still be important, producers will soon be reviewing other properties. The equidimensionality and angularity of coarse and fine aggregate particles and the degree and shape of the relief on their surfaces will become closely watched criteria.
The cement paste volume plays a major role in both hardened and plastic concrete and is the most expensive component of the concrete mix. Obviously, the lower the volume of cement paste in a concrete mix, the lower the cost of the total raw material content. Concretes batched with angular, rough, and irregularly shaped aggregates require a higher volume of cement paste because fewer coarse aggregate particles can be packed into a given volume compared with cubical aggregate.
The best particle size distribution for an aggregate is a result of optimizing the void content by having smaller aggregate particles fit between the larger aggregate particles. Most producers still approve their aggregate based solely on meeting broad gradation band requirements. Perhaps the producer would benefit by purchasing aggregate based on measurement of the specific surface.

Norwich — A chocolate Labrador retriever city Animal Control staff named "Murphy" might want to change his name to "Lucky" after he emerged uninjured but covered with ceiling foam debris after a large pine tree crashed through the roof at the Norwich Animal Control kennel in Mohegan Park Tuesday afternoon.
When the tree fell, Animal Control Officer Michele Kellough ran into the kennel area to check the damage and found Murphy scared and standing in about 18 inches of ceiling debris, branches poking through around him. Above him, the rain was pouring in.
"I was inside doing paperwork and I thought a truck hit the building," Kellough said.
The crash left the animal control building with a heavily damaged roof, no power and an evacuation order. There were five dogs and an adopted feral cat that lives at the office inside the building at the time.
The downed pine tree was one of numerous trees and limbs that fell across the region as strong winds and rain swept through the area with a cold front. There were scattered reports all day of wires falling onto power lines and roads closed by fallen trees, including Iron Street in Ledyard and Washington Street in Norwich.
The five dogs from the Norwich pound, including a Chihuahua and Pomeranian being cared for while the owner is in the hospital, are now "safe, warm and dry" at the Norwichtown Pet Resort & Spa on Scotland Road, Kellough said. Space at the Norwichtown Pet Resort is at a premium this week, because many families are on vacation during school break. The kennel had only four small-dog kennels available for the large pound dogs. The cat was taken home by Assistant Animal Control Officer Donna Gremminger.
In addition to Murphy, two pit bulls — a 5-year-old female and her 1-year-old female puppy — were at the pound when the tree fell. Murphy is available for adoption, while the pit bulls are being held on a contentious bite case, Kellough said.
A tree work contractor was cutting the pine tree away from the roof of the pound early Tuesday evening and Norwich Public Works Director Barry Ellison said a full assessment of the damage would be done Wednesday. The goal, he said, would be to perform some temporary repairs and allow the animals back in while work on permanent repairs gets underway.
That may take some time, however, considering the tree left the roof with structural damage and also damaged the heating and ventilation system, kennel fence and water and electrical lines.
After filing the insurance claim, it could be weeks before repairs are completed, he said. The pound opened at its current location, the former park office in Mohegan Park Center, in 2010 and was built at a cost of $600,000.

New London - City records indicate Police Chief Margaret Ackley has earned more than $100,000 in paid time off in less than two years, a number that exceeds the salary she was paid during her regular work hours. Documents contained in a Freedom of Information request received by The Day show that between Sept. 2, 2012, and Aug. 31, 2014, Ackley was paid for the equivalent of 1,814.25 hours for a total of $101,605. Those hours came from a mix of compensatory time, sick leave, injury time, vacation and other paid time off. Ackley was paid $36,678 in comp time alone, or the equivalent of 689 hours, records show.
The total number does not include a category marked "w/comp taxes - fire/police" for which she was paid an additional $18,806, records show without explanation.
During the same time period, Ackley's regular paid hours totaled 1,731.75 for a total of $92,187 in payments.
Documents released by the city coincided with the announcement Thursday that Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio had suspended Ackley until an investigation could be completed into a host of allegations that include claims she interfered with union negotiations, misrepresented financial information about the department and targeted union officials for discipline. There were no claims that her time off had anything to do with the decision to suspend her. While she is on paid suspension, Ackley is not using any of her remaining comp or vacation time.
Finizio declined to comment Friday.
Ackley's suspension was announced one day after Ackley, as part of a pending lawsuit against Finizio and the city, filed a request for an injunction against Finizio, claiming the mayor had essentially marginalized her and stripped her of police powers. Her attorney, Leon Rosenblatt, was not immediately available to comment Friday but has said in the past that Ackley had earned all of her time and was using compensatory time rather than losing it.
Controversy surrounding comp time in the city dates back to at least 2011 when Ackley, in her lawsuit, claims she announced her intention to retire but was requested by Finizio to stay on until Dec. 31, 2015. Part of the agreement to stay on, according to Ackley's suit, was a signed contract that would pay her a $110,725 salary with an agreement that she retain 2,000 hours of comp time.
The agreement, later rejected by the City Council, stated she would be paid as wages the financial equivalent of 1,196 of work hours at her regular rate of pay. Ackley claims that in February 2013 the city breached the contract by reneging on the promise to pay the remainder of her 1,196 hours of wages.
Finizio replaced comp time with flex time in August 2012 and ordered that all comp time be used before the end of that fiscal year.
Ackley was issued an extension to use her accumulated comp time by former Chief Administrator Jane Glover. The extension was granted because of the significant amount of time Ackley was out or working light duty after she was injured in an October 2012 incident in which she was hit on the head by a window that blew open during Superstorm Sandy. A memo from Glover indicates Ackley had 1,584.5 hours of comp time to be used before July 1, 2014. Ackley had used more than 300 hours of the time off, sick and comp time in the first three months of this year, records show. At the time she still had more than 1,000 hours of comp time left.
Finizio, in an April 24 memo released Thursday, granted Ackley until the end of the year to take the remainder of her time.
With Ackley now on paid leave, the issue of comp time may be moot, and it is unclear how much time she has left or plans to take off. But an email from Ackley to Finizio dated June 13, 2014, gives some indication. The email shows she planned to take off July 13-31, Aug. 1-15, Sept. 17-30 and Dec. 24-31.
"I will be using my comp time that is above the 1,012 hours that still needs to be paid out to me in my income," according to Ackley's email. "During any of the scheduled time off, I will be available should a situation warrant my being called in."
"Duly noted," Finizio responded.

One man was killed after being thrown from a pickup truck in an accident near Trafalgar.
Police have not identified the man and are investigating what happened in the accident on County Road 300S, about 1.5 miles east of State Road 135.
About 2 p.m., the pickup went off the road, one man was thrown out of the vehicle, and the passenger-side doors were torn off the truck.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is working to determine who was driving the vehicle when the accident happened and if alcohol was involved. Police said the two men may be related, according to a news release. Police have not identified either man.
An 18-year-old man who had been in the vehicle told deputies that he was a passenger, but that's not clear from the evidence, the release said. He was taken to Johnson Memorial Hospital for a blood draw to check for alcohol and drugs, which is typical when investigating a fatal accident.
Investigators found alcohol containers near the truck and were interviewing the 18-year-old about what happened.
