Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Ziff Davis Media has created a new laboratory in San Francisco that's dedicated to testing HDTV sets and projectors for PCMag.com and ExtremeTech.com.
Lab analysts will test and evaluate new HDTV products, focusing on widely available units and those that offer unique features or new technologies. Test equipment in the new lab includes: a Sencore VOP920 video player; the VP403, an HDTV test pattern generator, outputs a variety of clean test patterns on all types of video inputs found on today's sets; a DVD player which supports both SACD and DVD audio multichannel playback; a color analyzer that senses how close the set delivers true color and a front projector testing unit that uses a high-resolution CCD to capture the entire screen.
The publisher said its reviews of HD consumer products will be simple and concise, providing an easy way for people to select the best unit for their needs. However, more detailed testing analysis and results will be posted on ExtremeTech.com, for potential buyers who want to dig deeper into the pros and cons of various models.

Tip of the Day
Adding formatting to emails in iOS 5
Ever wish you could have even a few formatting options when typing up emails on the iOS device? Well, assuming you're running iOS 5, you actually do. To access them, simply highlight the word or words you'd like to format, and when the cut/copy/paste menu appears, tap the right most arrow, then the B I U
button, then choose from the bold, italics, or underline options that appear. Oh, and try not to gloat when the recipient asks how you did it.

Royals 2011 Season Preview Part IV - The Prospects
If you've been following the Royals at all recently, it shouldn't surprise you to know that they have a really good farm system. It's ranked the top system overall by every publication that follows the Minor Leagues. Staring down the barrel of what looks likely to be another rough season at the Major League level, many will shift their focus to the Minors early in the season. I thought I'd put together a small preview of who to keep an eye on in 2011.
I just got back from Surprise where I spent about 20 minutes watching the Major League team and somewhere around 20-30 hours watching the Minor League guys. I've laid eyes upon these guys , so my analysis is my own and it's supplemented with things I've heard first-hand. I'm not repeating things that I've read at other places. I think it's important to form first-hand opinions on these guys when possible.
Salvador Perez (C) – He's the hot pick to be the breakout player of 2011. He's a catcher who gets rave reviews on his defense but can also handle the bat. I saw him hit two balls with bit time power in Spring Training. He's going to likely start the season at AA Northwest Arkansas and he's only 20 years old.
Wil Myers (OF) – He converted from catcher this offseason because he's got a fantastic bat, he wasn't a great catcher and the Royals have Sal Perez. He has plate discipline beyond his years and can drive the pitch that he eventually selects. I saw him take four walks this spring, which is rare in those games. He'll also start at AA Northwest Arkansas.
Eric Hosmer (1B) – In my mind, he's the best prospect in the Royals system. He is a well above average defensive first baseman and he has big time power. I posted a video of his homerun this Sunday on YouTube. He can also hit for average and likes to go opposite field when he can. He's one of the best prospects in all of baseball. He's likely going to start the season at AAA Omaha, and could be in a Royals uniform this September.
Mike Moustakas (3B) – He's not as tall and athletic as Eric Hosmer is, but he has amazing bat speed. He can and will put the bat on the ball nearly anywhere in the strike zone. There are questions about his ability to stay at third base, but for now he's holding his own. He'll start at AAA Omaha, but will likely be in a Royals uniform sometime in June.
John Lamb (LHP) – Mike Montgomery (LHP) –Chris Dwyer (LHP) – Danny Duffy (LHP) – These four elite left-handed starting rotation candidates usually get lumped together and I'll do the same here. Lamb has great control. Montgomery has a power fastball with a good changeup but has some injury concerns. Dwyer might be the most polished and most underrated. Duffy might be the best of the bunch. Any organization in baseball would love to have one of these guys, the Royals have an embarrassment of riches in that they have all four of them.
Jason Adam (RHP) – He was drafted out of high school in Overland Park, KS by the Royals in 2010. He's been impressing people ever since. He was the buzz around Royals Spring Training and it's well deserved. I watched him throw 94-96 and toss a curveball that he could command for strikes. At 19, that's amazing. He's the player I'd watch closest this season.
Other names to watch: Christian Colon (SS), Jake Odorizzi (RHP), Lorenzo Cain (CF), Cheslor Cuthbert (3B) and Johnny Giavotella (2B).
If you'd like to get a chance to see some of these players in person, then head to Kauffman Stadium on Saturday, April 2nd. The Royals are playing the Angels at 12:10 and following that game the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA) will play the Omaha Stormchasers (AAA) in an exhibition game. I've also posted some more detailed scouting reports from my trip at Royals Authority.
This collection of Minor League talent is unprecedented in recent Royals history and they will begin making their way to the Major League team this season. I've had plenty of opportunities to see these players in person and add me to the list of believers. The future is coming and it starts now.

And that is why these guys [cargolaw.com] recommend shipping insurance (there are many others in their business, I'm sure). They also maintain the Gallery of Transport Loss [cargolaw.com], with photos of the disasters that have occurred to various ships and freight airplanes, which for some reason I find terrifically amusing.
It's also an example of terrible web design (on every page you have to scroll down a long way to get to the actual content). Nevertheless it's worth navigating in any case for a couple of hours of pictures of ships on the beach, ships sinking, ships struck by hurricanes, ships losing containers, etc.
A couple of examples:
towboat pulled under a bridge, rolled upside down, and comes up on the other side [cargolaw.com]
M/V APL China [cargolaw.com] struck by hurricane, limps into port with containers hanging over the side.
Last but not least, a day at the beach [cargolaw.com] turns into four months. Truly amazing pictures of people walking up the beach next to a huge container carrier
And another 47 series of Lost.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/14 -- Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) and Clean the World, a not-for-profit global hygiene organization, today unveiled new manufacturing equipment at Clean the World's Las Vegas facility that will help the organization double its production of recycled soap, helping people in need both domestically and around the globe.
At an event launching the new equipment, the two organizations also announced LVS' underwriting of 100,000 Clean the World hygiene kits for distribution through the American Red Cross to local and national disaster victims and a mass community effort to build the kits at LVS' Venetian and Palazzo properties in the coming months. The new soap recycling equipment and disaster relief kit build have been made possible as part of a $1 million corporate partnership between LVS and Clean the World in 2014 -- the largest corporate donation in Clean the World's history.
The new machinery unveiled today will sanitize and recycle enough soap gathered from Las Vegas-area hospitality properties to produce nearly 20,000 three-ounce bars of soap a day. With this equipment build-out, Clean the World will increase its soap production and distribution to more than 6.5 million bars of soap a year.
Since its establishment in 2009, Clean the World's mission is to collect discarded hygiene products from hospitality companies, including Las Vegas Sands, recycle and sanitize them through an automated process and distribute to those in need around the world. Once delivered, the soap helps reduce the risk and spread of hygiene-related diseases, such as pneumonia, cholera and dysentery in more than 95 countries, including the United States.
"Today, we helped usher in an exciting expansion of Clean the World's Las Vegas facility and it will have tremendous impact on the organization's ability to give a simple bar of soap to people throughout Nevada who don't have this basic luxury," said Michael Leven, LVS president and chief operating officer. "Clean the World has been an innovative leader in helping impoverished people, demonstrating how a smart sustainable idea can impact people's lives."
LVS team members also participated in today's event, by building hygiene kits that will go to help vulnerable people served by the Las Vegas Rescue Mission; Shade Tree, which provides shelter and support for women, children and their pets; and Three Square, which is Southern Nevada's only food bank that provides food assistance in Lincoln, Nye, Esmeralda and Clark counties. In total, Las Vegas LVS team members will build 8,000 hygiene kits for these three organizations as part of the company's overall commitment to Clean the World.
"Thanks to the valued commitment and partnership from Las Vegas Sands, this new equipment elevates Clean the World's mission to a higher level and greatly expands our reach," said Shawn Seipler, founder and executive director of Clean the World. "The soap that leaves our Las Vegas facility will make its way into shelters and other service organizations to provide support for people in need in Las Vegas and as well as to global communities where simple hygiene can mean the difference between life and death."
LVS has partnered with Clean the World since 2011, successfully diverting more than 50 tons of waste from LVS properties that resulted in more than 550,000 bars of recycled soap. The Clean the World partnership is part of the company's larger global corporate citizenship program, Sands Cares. Launched in April, the program brings together the company's corporate social responsibility priorities: supporting people in the company and the hospitality industry, making local communities where LVS operates a better place to live, and reducing environmental impact on the planet.

Patient Comments: Cataract Surgery - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your Cataract Surgery experience.
Comment from: Careodoe, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 01
I had cataract removal on both eyes and I see worse than before. Everything is blurry. I thought I was supposed to see better, it's been 2 weeks for one eye and one week for the other.
Comment from: Bec, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 15
I had my cataract surgery on September 3 with next procedure scheduled on September 17. After wearing glasses for over 59 years, I was able to see for the first time in my life through my left eye (my good eye). The procedure was a cinch and within 3 hours I was allowed to take off the protective shield (back on while napping or sleeping though). I was totally amazed at the improvement. I can see clearly for the first time in forever. Things do seem less magnified but clear, sharp and wonderful! Hubby removed the lens from my glasses because everything was horribly blurry. Now, other than a size difference in things I see, I'm 100 percent! Can't wait for my 'bad' eye to be done so I can get rid of my glasses for good. (I will probably have to use OTC readers for up close, but that is fine with me!) Procedure was painless and I was home after an hour and a half. Drops are a piece of cake.
Comment from: len, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: July 17
I had the cataract surgery 7 years ago. From the first week I had double vision in one eye. The doctor has since had 4 attempts of rectifying it. Now this week after throwing more money at him because I can only see out of the bottom half of the eye, and the top is as if a black marking pencil has been drawn across it, I have been told sorry, but he can't do anything for me. He has said he will refer me to an eye specialist (this so called doctor is supposed to be a specialist). I have an appointment next Tuesday 21st July with another doctor. I feel that I will be throwing more money away. So far it has cost me nearly USD 10,000. These eye doctors should be held to account and bear the cost of any mistakes.
Comment from: clark, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: July 17
I had lens replacement surgery for cataracts, 7 weeks ago to my left eye. I was never told that there are three different types of lenses. One is basic you can see to read but that's about it. Second is one you can see up to arm's length away but not distance. Third is the 1,800 lens that you can see close and far but you will see glares and halos. I was not told any of this until my visit on week 7. If you don't absolutely positively have to have this done don't do it. You cannot fix it, you are stuck with it. I don't need reading glass to read but I can't watch TV even with glasses. I am told that's the way it is. My eye will be like this forever and nothing went wrong, this is just the way it is. On week 7 is when I was told that's the way my vision will be.
Comment from: LaDeeDa, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 30
I am 10 days out from first cataract surgery on left eye. I still have a feeling that my eye was fussed with, vision is no better and distance is more challenged. I had and paid for femto laser surgery to the tune of 1400.00 to 'make cut more specific and correct astigmatism. Rip off! During exam number 3 since surgery, doctor said I have an astigmatism in that eye. I am putting off the other eye as I cannot think of having 2 eyes as bad as the one that was done.
Comment from: pallisade1, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 04
I had cataract surgery on both eyes in the last few weeks. My lens were replaced with LenSx but I have had some horrible side effects. First, if you are nearsighted go with the nearsighted replacement lens. Same goes for farsighted people. My doctor took me from nearsightedness to farsightedness and he never told me that going from nearsighted to farsighted was going to cause my body to go into shock as my brain cannot handle the sudden change after being nearsighted or over 45 years. I have terrible headaches, nausea and my body shakes. He did not properly inform me about anything. Now I need to have corrective surgery to go back to nearsightedness. Now my doctor wants to discuss with me my options; this he should have done before the surgery. I don't trust him with my eyes now and have started contacting lawyers.
Comment from: TAK, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 21
I'm so angry. I feel like I've been blinded by cataract surgery. My right eye sees up close. The left, dominant eye, was supposed to see far away. I feel like I'm looking through waxed paper. Three months ago, I walked into the doctor's office wearing glasses and seeing very well, except for night vision. Now I see nothing beyond about 10 feet.

Beavers eliminate Louisville
COLLEGE BASEBALL: Oregon State used a seven-run fourth inning to break open the game against mistake-prone Louisville, and the Beavers stayed alive in the College World Series with an 11-4 victory on Monday in Omaha, Neb.
The No. 3 national seed Beavers (51-12) play another elimination game Wednesday against Indiana. The Cardinals (51-14) committed four errors against the Beavers and 13 in their last seven games.
Ben Wetzler (10-1) allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings. Jeff Thompson (11-2) lasted 3 2/3 innings, with three of the seven runs against him unearned.
Oregon State scored the most runs allowed by Louisville this season. It was the highest-scoring game at the CWS in the three years it's been played at TD Ameritrade Park.
Andy Peterson went 3 for 4 and Max Gordon had two hits and two RBIs out of the No. 9 hole for the Beavers.
Mississippi State, meanwhile, took control of its bracket with a 5-4 victory over Indiana.
The Bulldogs (50-18) need one win to reach next week's best-of-three finals. They're off until Friday, when they'll play Indiana (49-15) or Oregon State.
Assistants following Drew to Milwaukee
NBA: Bob Bender and Nick Van Exel are following Larry Drew to Milwaukee.
The Bucks announced Monday that Bender and Van Exel will be assistants on Drew's staff. Bender also was an assistant during Drew's three years as head coach in Atlanta, while Van Exel was the Hawks' player development instructor from 2010-12.
Drew says the two were "important pieces" of his staff in Atlanta and will be dedicated to teaching Milwaukee's young players.
Bender spent the past nine years in Atlanta after two years as an assistant in Philadelphia. As a college coach, he led Washington to four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (1996-99) and was Pac-10 coach of the year in 1996.Van Exel played 13 years in the NBA. He was an All-Star in 1998.
• Iverson accused of abducting his children: The Allen Iverson saga has added another alarming chapter. The former 76ers star is being accused by his ex-wife, Tawanna Iverson, of abducting his own children, according to several media reports. The website TMZ first reported the story.
Tawanna Iverson filed court documents in Atlanta claiming that her ex-husband failed to return their five children, who range in age from age 3 to 16, after a five-day vacation to Charlotte, N.C.
Iverson is fighting the allegations in court, TMZ reported.
Iverson did not return them on May 26, she said. Tawanna said she tried to set up an exchange at a neutral site on June 4, but Iverson never showed up.
Tawanna Iverson, who has sole custody of the children, wants the courts to force him to bring them back. She contends that Iverson never went to North Carolina and has the children staying at a hotel in Georgia.The 38-year-old former star has wasted millions of dollars. His ex-wife has said he has missed every child support payment since January, when their divorce was finalized. Iverson owes her $40,000 in child support, she contends.
Nigeria tops Tahiti behind hat trick
SOCCER: Nigeria rolled to a 6-1 victory at Confederations Cup over Tahiti, which was making its debut at a major FIFA tournament.
Nnamdi Oduamadi scored a hat trick for the African champions, while Elderson Echiejile added two more.
Still, the team from the South Pacific may have had the game's best moment.
Jonathan Tehau headed the ball into the net early in the second half, cutting the deficit to 3-1. The Tahitians then celebrated by pretending to row a boat together.
Police arrest driver in fatal Oregon accident
MISCELLANY: Police in Oregon say they have arrested the driver they say fatally struck a man trying to dribble a soccer ball 10,000 miles from Seattle to Brazil for the World Cup.
Scott Van Hiatt, of Neskowin, was arrested on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.
Richard Swanson, of Seattle, planned to dribble the ball for more than a year through 11 countries before reaching Sao Paolo, Brazil, where the opener of the World Cup soccer tournament will be played on June 12, 2014.
He was struck from behind by a pickup while walking south along busy U.S. 101 near Lincoln City on May 14.
Hiatt was indicted by a Lincoln County grand jury last week. He is jailed on $50,000 bail.

We are planning on a 2-week trip to several destinations in Portugal, with a 5-day visit to Madeira in the middle. Is there somewhere in Lisbon (either at the airport or at another central location) we can safely store the luggage we will not be taking to the island? The airline charges per bag, and also allows less weight on the domestic leg than on our flight from the US. We're checking out of our hotel, and checking into a new one when we return, so leaving them there is not an option.

Storing bags in Lisbon area
Report Abuse
Have you tried asking your hotel? Perhaps explain that you are going to Madeira and then heading home (so you dont have to mention the other hotel) and offer to pay them to store the bags for you? Or ask the new one to store them?
Report Abuse
On the railway station or in the airport they do it!! i ve done it!
Report Abuse
They will probably store it at the station. I once arrived in Lisbon a few days before the Euro Cup, and NOWHERE would store luggage because of security concerns. I think there was somewhere in of the malls that stored luggage under normal circumstances. You should check the station website.
Report Abuse
The hotel (old or new) is your best bet - especially if it is free to guests. But you can store bags at the airport.
The main rail stations (Oriente, Santa Apolonia) have lockers.

Pet Tip
Yawning and Blinking in Dogs – Pet tip 217
When it comes to reading a dog's body language there are many movements and gestures to pay attention to. Some of the gestures are easy to understand. A growling dog is sending a clear message and very few people will mistake the intention of that message. It means that the dog is uncomfortable and you should immediately back off or back away. The growl will likely also come with other gestures like standing forward, ears pointing forward and possibly raised fur. A broad wagging tail is also a clear sign usually associated with happiness and alertness.

Missing Boy Scout found alive four days after wandering from camp
McGRADY, N.C. -- A 12-year-old Boy Scout whose favorite book was about a youngster lost in the wilderness now has his own harrowing survival tale to tell after rescuers found him Tuesday, dehydrated and disoriented from four days in the wooded mountains of North Carolina.
A rescue dog picked up Michael Auberry's scent less than a mile from the campsite where he had wandered away from his troop Saturday. His disappearance touched off an intensive search involving bloodhounds, heat-seeking helicopters and dozens of volunteers on foot.
"This shows that when everybody works together, good things happen," said minister Susan Norman Vickers, who led members of Michael's church in prayer and celebration at a staging area. "We just believed that he was going to be found."
It was not immediately clear exactly how the boy was able to survive or whether he put any of his Scout wilderness training to use. But he had worn two jackets, one of them fleece, and was believed to have a mess kit and potato chips with him when he disappeared. He told the rescue team he had been drinking water from streams.
Searchers spotted Michael walking along a stream before he saw them.
"They called his name. He didn't respond ... Once they said 'We're here to rescue you,' the first thing he said is he wanted a helicopter ride out of there," said Blue Ridge Parkway ranger David Bauer.
Aside from a few cuts and scratches, Michael was in good health and could walk and talk. Because he had been without food and water, he was carried on a stretcher to a nearby road and then taken to see his parents. "A lot of tears, a lot of hugs," said Tina White, spokeswoman for the National Park Service.
Bauer said the boy did not immediately say what had happened, and rangers did not ask.
Later, Michael went by ambulance to a medical center. Along the way, he received IV fluids to help him rehydrate and told his father he wanted to sleep, said ambulance driver Bud Lane.
Hours earlier, the boy's father had talked about one of Michael's favorite books when he was younger, a story titled "Hatchet" about a boy whose plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, and how the boy survives on his own.
"I think he's got some of that book in his mind," said Kent Auberry, whose son had camped overnight several times. "They do a great job in the Scouts of educating the kids of what to beware of and tips. I'm hopeful that Michael has taken those to heart."
Bauer said as many as 100 people searched for Auberry on Tuesday, including Misha Marshall, whose dog Gandalf picked up the boy's scent.
The black 2-year-old Shiloh Shepherd "popped his head three times" -- and there was Michael, she said.
"He was a little dazed," Marshall said. "You are totally overwhelmed. You at first don't believe he's the person you're looking for."
Searchers gave the boy granola bars, crackers and water.
Authorities had said Michael probably wandered into the woods to explore. Searchers found his mess kit within a mile of the camp site a few hours after he disappeared.
"Michael wasn't real sure he was being rescued," Bauer said. "He was very tired, very hungry. ... He wasn't necessarily looking to be rescued, he was looking for his Boy Scout troop."

Illustration: Yay! Pat Bradbury's back! Let's see what he's got in store for us…
The last time we saw Pat Brad the Lad he was one of the It's Nice That Graduates back in 2011. He then scarpered off on a two year trip to the British International School in Vietnam where he taught kids how to make art in the same silly, lovely style that he's so adept at. Be it collages, paintings or just sweet and hilarious brain drippings, Pat's work always has a peculiar, enticing sheen to it that is so rare in art these days. I don't know what the recipe for that sheen is exactly, but it's something to do with the combination of wild abandon and Pat's kind nature that translates so immediately into his work, making it incredibly appealing. That hat picture absolutely kills me.

The Story of the Blue Planetby Andri Snaer Magnason, Aslaug Jonsdottir
View All Available Formats & Editions
One day a rocket ship piloted by a strange-looking adult named Gleesome
Brimir and Hulda are best friends who live on a small island on a beautiful blue planet where there are only children and no adults. Their planet is wild and at times dangerous, but everything is free, everyone is their friend, and each day is more exciting than the last.
One day a rocket ship piloted by a strange-looking adult named Gleesome Goodday crashes on the beach. His business card claims he is a "Dream.ComeTrueMaker and joybringer," and he promises to make life a hundred times more fun with sun-activated flying powder and magic-coated skin so that no one ever has to bathe again. Goodday even nails the sun in the sky and creates a giant wolf to chase away the clouds so it can be playtime all the time. In exchange for these wonderful things, Goodday asks only for a little bit of the children's youth—but what is youth compared to a lot more fun? The children are so enamored with their new games that they forget all the simple activities they used to love.
During Goodday's great flying competition, Hulda and Brimir fly too high to the sun and soar to the other side of planet, where they discover it is dark all the time and the children are sickly and pale. Hulda and Brimir know that without their help, the pale children will die, but first they need to get back to their island and convince their friends that Gleesome Goodday is not all that he seems.
A fantastical adventure, beautifully told, unfolds in a deceptively simple tale. The Story of the Blue Planet will delight and challenge readers of all ages.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Editorial Reviews
Amanda Little
"Magnason's beautifully illustrated and expertly translated book is charming, eccentric, moving, and humbling – often reminiscent of Roald Dahl or William Steig. It's a magical coming-of-age story that may also remind adults to appreciate the here and the now, and that the grass on the other side may appear greener, but that doesn't mean it's better."—Typographical Era
"It's a delightful and pointed tale. Indeed, The Story of the Blue Planet, aided by Aslaug Jonsdottir's fanciful and evocative illustrations, raises important issues about greed, collaboration, friendship and trust that will kick-start discussions among children and their caretakers. Home and school libraries would do well to add it to their collections."—Truthout
"The sound ecological message that is conveyed in The Story of the Blue Planet has justifiably met with widespread international acclaim, with the book having won numerous highly sought-after prizes, and being the first chidren's book to be awarded the Icelandic Literary Prize."—Book Pleasures
"Adventurous and entertaining...the illustrations are lovely and offer a visual stimulus for the story."—Books for Kids
"Those who enjoyed Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm (Dutton, 2010) may find Magnason's cautionary ecological tale a perfect complement. Well-paced, with some wonderful, story-enhancing color illustrations."—School Library Journal

I think that each of us has a miniature version of Jolly Goodday (Gleesome Goodday in the synopsis) sitting on our shoulder, whispering to us. The choice we all have to make is whether or not we are going to listen to him. The Story of the Blue Planet is fascinating on so many levels. It is more than just an adventure or a tale about the environment. It is a story that makes you think about yourself, about others, and about the world. Is it right for you to deprive others of life's necessities in order for you to have more fun? This book helps children understand that actions have consequences. Sometimes, those consquences have dire effects on ourselves and on others. While this lesson applies to the environment, it can also be applied to every facet of life Jolly Goodday represents the selfish and unconcerned side of all of us. He tells us half-truths and uses trickery to convince us that other people don't matter as much as ourselves. He says that we should think of our own pleasure first, no matter what it does to someone else. He is the little voice that demands to be satisfied, no matter the cost. In addition to the many morals contained between it's pages, this story is adventurous and entertaining. I love books that can teach a lesson through storytelling. The illustrations are lovely and offer a visual stimulus for the story. This is one of those books that I think every child should read. It is targeted at kids, and it is the kind of literature that will give them pause and make them consider their actions. "Think before you act" is a big theme in this book.
