This is an absolutely charming and wonderful book that I'll be recommending to lots of people. It is told in the first person by two narrators, both of whom are very intelligent intellectuals who are constantly evaluating the psychological and philosophical nuances of everything. While that sounds like it could be unbelievable dull, it isn't. I laughed so hard at one point, I had to stop the recording.
Cassandra Morris is very good, but Barbara Rosenblatt gives an award winning performance. It is one of the best narrations I have heard not just from Rosenblatt, but from anyone.
"Characters to Love"
Delightful rendering of a wonderful set of characters. Provocative in its reflection of literature, art and the meaning of life. Fun, though, and not too heavy. Full of fantastic language even though a translated work. In fact, I have ordered a print copy to review in addition to this pleasant listen.
"It surprised me"
I would not have had the patience to read this book with my eyes. I used it as a companion for pulling weeds and I must report that the garden and I are both the better for it. It was a very good listen. I'll not forget these characters anytime soon.
"Touching and Moving"
I did not want to like this book, selected by book club. 15 minutes into it, I was hooked - it made me laugh and cry. I wanted to know these characters more and will listen to this audiobook again and again.
Although it took a bit of time, perhaps one hour of listening, to "get into" the personalities of the story, I found this to be a completely beautiful and thought-provoking novel. Barbara Rosenblat is a genius storyteller. She is funny, sublime, and absolutely perfect in her role. Honestly, this is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading (listening) and I highly recommend it. It is a literature that makes you think about it for days as well as cry when you think about the characters. If I could give this 6 stars, I would!!!
"Thoughtful and engaging"
This story grew on me the more I listened. You have to some patience, however, since most for most of the story you are listening to the two main characters talking to themselves - thinking out loud. Both characters are amazingly smart and insightful - the young girl preternatually so. A touching but improbable ending is a bit of a disappointment. Fun if you enjoy learning more about class struggles in France.
"An " Elegent" Novel"
I'll admit at first I was frustrated by The Elegance of Hedgehogs. The plot took a long time developing and the two main characters spent a lot of time pontificating on heavy themes. I love philosophy as reflected by fiction, but I felt the author spent much too much time on heady intellectual theories and not nearly enough time in the forward action of the story. However this was all absolved as I learned to understand them. One is an older woman in her 50s, a concierge in a rich apartment building who has been stunted by class expectations of her childhood and tries to hide the fact that she is an intellectual so as not be seen as putting on "airs". The other is a 12 year old girl of parents who pretend to have socialist aspirations but are really bourgeois, aloof and unfeeling. The girl is of extraordinary intelligence and can see through the facades maintained by her parents, older sister and adult society at large. She is disenchanted with the idea of growing up and living a "fish bowl" existence. Thus she has resolved to kill herself on her 13th birthday. As the story progressed I realized that to truly understand these characters and the boxes they put themselves it was important for the reader to endure the various wonderings, profound thoughts and journal exaltations, otherwise the resolution when they discover that their fates are not predetermined would not have been nearly as satisfying. It is an all together "elegant" novel filled with minute perceptions and sensory satisfactions.
"Absolutely beautiful!"
I loved this book. So thought provoking and you instantly care about the characters. I listened to it twice to absorb all the beautiful details and observations about life. A definite read!
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"This book is not what you think..."
I liked this book quite a bit. The book, the story, and the characters are all simple, yet satisfying. The writing and language are superior. The meaning was, in my opinion, the key and was not overt. This seems to lead to strong feelings, both positive and negative about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration and the humor, but mostly I enjoyed the spirit.
I worked hard to finish. But when I did, it was worth it.

Robinson Cano, Yankees Look Elsewhere To Spend Money
The Yankees are trying to schedule a meeting with Robinson Cano, but the two sides are still about $150MM apart, and the Yankees are looking at other targets in the meantime, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes. Those include Carlos Beltran, Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo, Stephen Drew and Hiroki Kuroda. Other possibilities for the Yankees include Joe Nathan and Masahiro Tanaka. The Yanks don't want to give Beltran more than two years, although it's possible that the Mariners or Royals could give him three. Ubaldo Jimenez and Matt Garza aren't currently on the Yankees' radar, Heyman notes.

Cleaner graphic here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/111296213117771808385/posts/Cs8F9wdz9UZ
From Orion Magazine:
In February, Time magazine broke the news that the Sierra Club, an old and respected environmental defender, had, for three years, accepted $25 million from Chesapeake Energy, one of the largest gas-drillers in the world. (In 2010, Michael Brune, the Sierra Club's new executive director, refused further donations from the company.) The story prompted Steingraber to write an open letter to the Club, posted below. We invite you to read the letter, which testifies to the confusion, fear, and outrage that's pouring out of communities in gasland—but which is also, importantly, a bold call to courage.
No right way is easy. . . .We must risk our lives to save them.
—John Muir, Sierra Club's founder
Dear Sierra Club,
I'm through with you.
For years we had a great relationship based on mutual admiration. You gave a glowing review of my first book, Living Downstream—a review that appeared in the pages of Sierra magazine and hailed me as "the new Rachel Carson." Since 1999 that phrase has linked us together in all the press materials that my publicist sends out. Your name appears with mine on the flaps of my book jackets, in the biography that introduces me at the speaker's podium, and in the press release that announced, last fall, that I was one of the lucky recipients of a $100,000 Heinz Award for my research and writing on the environment.
I was proud to be affiliated with you. I hoped to live up to the moniker you bestowed upon me.
But more than a month has past since your executive director, Michael Brune, admitted in Time magazine that the Sierra Club had, between 2007 and 2010, clandestinely accepted $25 million from the fracking industry, with most of the donations coming from Chesapeake Energy. Corporate Crime Reporter was hot on the trail of the story when it broke in Time.
From the start, Brune's declaration seemed less an acknowledgement of wrongdoing than an attempt to minister to a looming public relations problem. Would someone truly interested in atonement seek credit for choosing not to take additional millions of gas industry dollars ("Why the Sierra Club Turned Down $26 Million in Contributions from Natural Gas Interests")?
Here, on top of the Marcellus Shale, along the border between Pennsylvania and New York—where we are surrounded by land leased to the gas industry; where we live in fear that our water will be ruined, our mortgages called in, our teenage children killed in fiery wrecks with 18-wheelers hauling toxic fracking waste on our rural, icy back roads; where we cash out our vacation days to board predawn buses to rallies and public hearings; where we fundraise, donate, testify, phone bank, lobby, submit public comments, sign up for trainings in nonviolent civil disobedience; where our children ask if we will be arrested, if we will have to move, if we will die, and what will happen to the bats, the honeybees, the black bears, the grapevines, the apple orchards, the cows' milk; where we have learned all about casing failures, blow-outs, gas flares, clear-cuts, legal exemptions, the benzene content of production fluid, the radioactive content of drill cuttings; where people suddenly start sobbing in church and no one needs to ask why—here in the crosshairs of Chesapeake Energy, Michael Brune's announcement was met with a kind of stunned confusion.
The Sierra Club had taken money, gobs of it, from an industry that we in the grassroots have been in the fight of our lives to oppose. The largest, most venerable environmental organization in the United States secretly aligned with the very company that seeks to occupy our land, turn it inside out, blow it apart, fill it with poison. All for the goal of extracting a powerful heat-trapping gas, methane, that plays a significant role in climate change.
Climate change: identified by The Lancet as the number-one global health problem of the 21st century. Children, according to the World Health Organization, are among its primary victims.
It was as if, on the eve of D-day, the anti-Fascist partisans had discovered that Churchill was actually in cahoots with the Axis forces.
So, I've had many weeks now to ponder the whole betrayal and watch for signs of redemption from Sierra Club's national leadership. Would it be "coming clean" (to quote the title of the executive director's recent book)?
Freed from the silence that money bought, would it now lend its voice in support of environmental groups in New York State that seek a statewide prohibition on fracking? Would it come to the aid of those in Pennsylvania calling for a halt to the devastation there?
Would it, at the very least, endorse the modest proposal of Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy, who recommend a national moratorium on fracking until human health impacts are researched?
And would Michael Brune humbly ask forgiveness from antifracking activist Lisa Wright, formerly on the executive committee of the Sierra Club's Finger Lakes chapter? As recently as last May, in response to a direct query from Wright, who had become suspicious, Brune wrote, "I do want to be clear about one thing: we do not receive any money from Aubrey McClendon, nor his company Chesapeake. For that matter, we do not receive any contributions from the natural gas industry. Hopefully this will alleviate some concerns."
The answer to all of the above questions: No.
So, Sierra Club, call some other writer your new Rachel Carson. I'll be erasing your endorsement from my website.
And take back these words, penned by your own fierce and uncorruptible founder, John Muir, that have hung for years by my writing desk:
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The wind will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
There is no peace in the mountains and hills over the Marcellus Shale. No glad tidings. The forests of Pennsylvania are filled with chainsaws, flares, drill pads, pipelines, condensers, generators, and the 24/7 roar of compressor stations. The wind that blows east from the gas fields carries toluene, benzene, and diesel exhaust. Sunshine turns it all into poisonous ozone. Storms send silt into trout streams from denuded hillsides and cause good people to lie awake at night, worried about overflowing impoundment pits full of neurotoxic chemicals and overturned frack trucks full of carcinogens.
Even now, plans are being laid to transport 88.2 million gallons of liquid propane and butane to caverns that lie beneath the idyllic New York lakeshore where my ten-year-old son was born. ("This transaction is yet another example of the successful execution on our plan to build an integrated natural gas storage and transportation hub in the Northeast," says the company called Inergy.) When you tramp through the fields and forests where I live—40 percent of the land in my county is leased to the gas industry—cares don't drop off like autumn leaves. They accumulate like convoys of flowback fluid laced with arsenic, radium, and barium with no place, no place to go.
And, yes, they are fracking in Rachel Carson's beloved Allegheny County, too.
The hard truth: National Sierra Club served as the political cover for the gas industry and for the politicians who take their money and do their bidding. It had a hand in setting in motion the wheels of environmental destruction and human suffering. It was complicit in bringing extreme fossil fuel extraction onshore, into our communities, farmlands, and forests, and in blowing up the bedrock of our nation. And I can't get over it.
So, here are some parting words from the former new Rachel Carson.
The path to salvation lies in reparations—not in accepting praise for overcoming the urge to commit the same crime twice. So shutter your doors. Cash out your assets. Don a backpack and hike through the gaslands of America. Along the way, bear witness. Apologize. Offer compensation to the people who have no drinkable water and can't sell their homes. Whose farm ponds bubble with methane. Whose kids have nosebleeds and mysterious rashes. Write big checks to the people who are putting their bodies on the line in the fight to ban fracking, and to the grassroots groups that are organizing them.
Finally, go to Washington and say what the Sierra Club should have said in 2007: Fracking is not a bridge to the future. It is a plank on which we walk blindfolded at the point of a sword. There is no right way to do it. And the pirates are not our friends.

At the end of last year, I changed names and transitioned to a new gmail address. I have managed to (painfully) transition over to the new address for most of my Google presence, but Google+ eludes me.
Is there a way to transition my current Google+ account to the new name, or do I have to start over? {fumes internally}
I need some serious help!

(via Earthrace Conservation http://www.earthraceconservation.org)
"In recent times I've started to look at the conservation movement as tribalism. It gives people something bigger to belong to than just themselves. Humankind historically has been tribal but, recently, many societies have lost these familial connections. We've lost our natural tribes, being limited to small families instead, or in many cases not even that. So we look for other things to replace this. Following our local football team, national rugby team or some basketball franchise is one way we satisfy our tribal urge. The connections, though, are loose. We wouldn't bleed our own blood, or at least hopefully not, for the sake of a football team.
Conservation is uniting people in a similar way; however, the sense of belonging and contribution is much stronger. People are willing to sacrifice much more in support of their tribe. Further to this, their tribe is one of many sub-tribes making up the conservation movement in general. So all the conservation groups, including Earthrace, are all sub-tribes with converging values and ideals, and together we make up a very considerable tribe that is a growing and mobile force around the globe."

Playing Real Big: How Women Can Reach Their Dreams

Launching the Great Adventure
Greetings Rogue fans. Some of you have been waiting 23 days on the edge of your seat, as the counter to the Big Announcement ticked down.

Eight years ago, nearly precisely to the day, Cliff Floyd rankled ownership when he observed after the New York Mets were swept in a four-game series: "Things just ain't looking bright. You have to find a bright spot. There ain't no light at the end of the tunnel, though, it looks like."
And here we are again.
This time, the NL West cellar-dweller Colorado Rockies -- lacking Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton and Michael Cuddyer (as well as Carlos Gonzalez for the first half of the series) -- came into Citi Field and beat the Mets in four straight games.
The Mets now reside only a half-game out of last place in the NL East, just ahead of the Miami Marlins, who have conducted their latest fire sale.
The not-so-Amazin's have an 11-28 record since the All-Star break, better in the majors during that span than only the Houston Astros (6-33), who visit Queens this weekend.
And, after a 1-0 loss to Colorado on Thursday afternoon, the Mets have now scored two or fewer runs in six straight games -- their longest streak with that type of run-producing futility since 1982.
Mets starting pitchers, headlined by rookies Matt Harvey and Collin McHugh, produced a 1.33 ERA in the fruitless four-game series against the Rockies.
"It's frustrating. It's frustrating for everybody. We're going on a week, and it's a nightmare," catcher Josh Thole said. "It's a nightmare for everybody in this clubhouse."
Manager Terry Collins labeled the recent stretch his "most trying week in a lot of years."
Said Collins: "We've been in games night after night. Can't get a hit. Can't get a two-out hit, which we absolutely did all of the first half. It just seems like we can't execute anything we try. It's been frustrating. The guys are frustrated by it."
So is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
That depends how patient you are.
The Mets are en route to their fourth straight losing season, and it is hard to see how things get better in 2013.
General manager Sandy Alderson continues to maintain he does not have a firm payroll relayed to him from ownership for next season, but a source tells ESPNNewYork.com it is expected to be close to this year's total, which resides at less than $100 million.
With raises due to players likely to offset much of the less-than-staggering amount coming off the books, there will be a limit to what the front office can do besides twiddle its thumbs and wait for the farm system to spit out more players.
Alderson this week projected roster turnover via trades. But unless the Mets substantially win those trades -- and this front office's track record so far doesn't suggest that will be the case -- you're making lateral moves that are rearranging the furniture.
Two years after Floyd made his proclamation in 2004 about not seeing light at the end of the tunnel, the Mets did come within a game of reaching the World Series.
That time, though, Omar Minaya came on board and started writing checks, bulking up a payroll from $83 million to $147 million over the course of a few seasons with the additions of names such as Pedro Martinez, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado.
Principal owner Fred Wilpon and family no longer appear capable of offering such stimulus, which will elongate the rebuilding process.
Harvey is a promising piece. Zack Wheeler, the pitcher obtained in the Beltran trade last year with the San Francisco Giants, has even more upside, according to scouts. And McHugh, who made his major league debut Thursday, can be a serviceable rotation piece.
But the bats are not coming as quickly. And Jason Bay and Johan Santana, who make a combined $50 million next season with their 2014 buyouts, are not off the books for another year.
"At this stage of the season, you've got to start looking to next year," Collins said. "You've got to start looking at the big picture. And isn't it nice to know you've got a guy like Matt Harvey, Collin McHugh and Robert Carson and Josh Edgin, that down the road are going to be impact guys on your team? You look to Sept. 1 now to say, 'OK, who's going to be the next guy to whet our taste buds?' That's what you've got to look at."

All I know about the data is that it is stored as binary data.
A MSFT told me the data would contain /device/harddiskvolume2/something/something.exe
He never specified wether it was a null terminated string or char array or anything like that.
So does anyone have any assumptions?
In the MSDN documentation it is listed as FWP_BYTE_BLOB as the data type.
The byte blob is storing an AppId from the FWPM_NET_EVENT0 header.
If that helps.
How would I even output it with cout?
for(int a = 0; a < size; ++a)
cout << data + a;

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article

Spring Green — When we last checked in with actors Jim DeVita and Tracy Michelle Arnold, they were opening an intense American Players Theatre production of "Antony and Cleopatra," sacrificing kingdoms and continents for all-consuming love.

Listening to Lou Reed: An Introduction
When I heard that Lou Reed died Oct. 27, I did what many fans did: I listened to his music, in some instances songs I hadn't played in years. That got me thinking about what I liked and didn't like about his music and that, gentle reader, brought me to "a very big decision" (to quote Reed's "Heroin").
I decided to listen to his solo albums, in chronological order, and blog about them here. Starting Friday, I'll blog about an album each week until I've finished going through his body of work. »Read Full Blog Post
Florida Georgia Line blazes through set of hip-pop country
When Florida Georgia Line visited Milwaukee in July, they played a 30-minute opening set for Luke Bryan at Summerfest.
Even then, the duo's popularity far exceeded their billing. Despite the early stage call, the Marcus Amphitheater was packed and fans sang back the chorus to their huge country and pop hit, "Cruise." When their Sunday night headlining gig in the Rave's Eagles Ballroom was announced, it quickly sold out. »Read Full Article(1)

One of the most surprising things about looking at that old draft was that the first line of the book...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
With more than two decades of experience in geological research and a firsthand knowledge of the landscapes of Oregon, Ellen is eminently qualified to reveal the state's unique history. Ellen has earned degrees in geology from Dickinson College (B.S.) and Oregon State University (M.S. and Ph.D.) and completed postgraduate studies with the geological research division of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Her research helped define Oregon's exotic terranes, including the Baker terrane, and the terranes of the Blue Mountains. An avid educator, Ellen has held both research and teaching positions at Marylhurst University, Lewis and Clark College, Eastern Oregon University, the University of Arkansas, Sul Ross State University, and Oregon State University. In these roles she has authored multiple technical publications and educated up-and-coming geologists. She has lived in communities throughout Oregonfrom Portland to Madras, and Eugene to La Grandeand regularly hikes the diverse landscapes that make up Oregon's backcountry. Although Ellen currently resides in Portland, with a retreat near Joseph, with her husband and four stepchildren, she spent more than two years living in the midst of Oregon's geology in the process of writing In Search of Ancient Oregon.
While geologists have a mantra that the present is the key to the past, Ellen strongly believes that the past is also a key to the future. This has led her to use her expertise about geology and past ecosystems to educate the public about environmental issues. She has worked as director of the Pacific Rivers Council's Community Rivers Program, as public education coordinator for the Columbia River Bioregion Campaign, and as an extended day coordinator and grant writer for the SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) program at Whitaker Middle School. She has also organized many conferences that have addressed environmental and geological issues. In her role as staff writer for The Columbian(Vancouver, Washington) and freelance writer for The Oregonian(Portland), Ellen has regularly informed the public about scientific, environmental, and technological issues.
Ellen also has substantial training and experience as a professional photographer. She has worked as a photojournalist for several papers throughout the Northwest, and her landscape photos have been used and displayed by the Sierra Club, Oregon Natural Resources Council, and the Nature Conservancy.

Even after a 2-2 start, there aren't many people who doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers will make the NBA playoffs.
But the team has a lot of hard work to do in order be among the elite teams in the NBA.
Chris Paul hasn't disappointed, but the Clippers need him to play at astronomical levels, and the rest of the starters could help Blake Griffin more on the offensive end.
Vinny Del Negro hasn't figured out a perfect rotation yet either, and he should be working day and night to infuse the team with a rough and tough defensive mindset.
Oh yeah, and the team's poor showing at the free throw line needs to be fixed.

When Peter Todd joined the administration of HEC Paris last July, he made history as the first non-French dean of the top-ranked school. This past January, he helped the business school make history again when, as a result of a new French law, it became the first school in France to take on the new status of a consular higher education institution (or EESC) in the country, giving the school its first true whiff of independence in its more than 130-year history.
The lack of diversity in Hollywood is obvious. But the more the issue is brought to light, the more those in charge continue to offer both blame and reasons why. Instead of looking to see what internal changes can be made to their casting lineups, studios consistently argue that the fault lies within the consumers who would rather see predominantly white casts. It's certainly not a valid enough reason to excuse whitewashing, but is there any truth in that argument?
Lower tuition costs are a selling point for MBA programs outside the U.S. But some schools are starting to bring their fees more in line with U.S. schools, and they're finding it doesn't necessarily deter applicants.
This week Financial Times covered recent changes at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management in Canada and Vlerick Business School in Belgium. The report highlighted an interesting pattern: after dramatically increasing their tuition, these schools are attracting more applicants.
Jochen Wirtz is pleased to describe himself as a best-selling writer. He has co-authored a textbook on services marketing that he not only uses as professor at the National University of Singapore Business School, but which has sold more than 700,000 copies.
Hollywood's track record on showcasing minority talent and storylines is pretty awful, even considering some recent efforts to diversify programming. Some studios argue that the fault lies not with them, but with consumers, who—they claim—prefer predominantly white casts. But is there any truth to that?
Venkat Kuppuswamy and Peter Younkin, business-school professors at the University of North Carolina and McGill University, respectively, took a look at data on the film industry in order to measure how diverse casts went over at box offices.

this wiki
|This is an overview article which contains background information and cross-game comparisons. For game-specific information and stats, see the articles linked on the right.
Explorer's Journal. New Entry. A Yao Guai is a fierce, mutated Bear"— Fallout Shelter
Yao guai are a species of mutated American black bears. They were named by the descendants of Chinese survivors living in internment camps. These creatures are found in the Capital Wasteland, Zion Canyon, The Island, and the Commonwealth.
Although generally found alone, yao guai exhibit a gentle, familial bond toward one another when found together, provided they do not feel threatened by the observer's presence. Yao guai will attack nearly any other animal or person they encounter, including deathclaws. However, yao guai have been known to be occasionally friendly towards bloatflies. There are tamed yao guai which can be seen following and protecting their masters in the Capital Wasteland. Yao guai are very dangerous, fast and attack quickly.
Yao guai are large, ursine animals that are descended from the bears that lived across America before the war.
Yao guaiEdit
A common adult yao guai.
Scavengers' yao guaiEdit
A tamed variant of yao guai owned by scavengers, most likely for protection and companionship.
A unique yao guai found in its lair in Point Lookout.
Yao guai cubEdit
A younger specimen of the mutant bear.
Giant yao guaiEdit
Larger versions of yao guai.
Ghost of SheEdit
A unique yao guai that can be found in Zion Canyon. She has a flaming body and a giant size, and can create several copies of herself.
Behind the scenesEdit
- In Mandarin, yāo guài (妖怪) translates as "monster" or "demon." In Chinese mythology, "yao guai" are usually physical manifestations of the spirits of mistreated animals, or fallen divine animals.

When you create an Excel worksheet, you have the ability to change the margins used when the information in the worksheet is printed. This is done by choosing Page Setup from the File menu, then making adjustments on the Margins tab. The default left and right margin values are .75 inches, unless you change them as described in other issues of ExcelTips.
When you change the left and right margin values, and even if you change the default left and right margin values, there is no way to modify the left and right margins used by Excel to print headers and footers.

Growing up, every formal dress I ever had was clingy. I had curves and long, clingy dresses were good for showing them off so I always ended up with a clingy dress.
When it came to picking a wedding dress, I wanted something "poofy" as I called it. I tried on a few dresses at a small dress shop by my parents' house but they sprung that on me last minute and I wasn't in the mood. Plus, I wanted to try on dresses with my bridal party.
So the day came to go to David's Bridal. I've heard horror stories about DB's but I had a great girl helping me and had a really go experience with them. I actually saw my dress after I was done picking out other dresses to try on. It was hanging on the wall and I mentioned it was really pretty so the salesperson pulled it down.
Do not try dresses on without looking at the price tag FIRST. Because I didn't look at the tag. I tried the dress on, fell in love and then realized it was over my price range.
Thankfully, DB's had a sale and my folks were very generous so in the end I got my pretty dress. It's ivory and champagne, which was perfect for my darker complexion. Some days I still want to pull it out and wear it again.
P.S. Have you entered the Summer Must Haves Swap yet? It's not too late!

We'll just agree to have different opinions.. but to anyone complaining about a trail going from 3' wide to 5' over the course of many years is pretty naive. Perhaps they should go look at all the developments made in the name of expanding man's territory and destroying natural habitat before they complain about a bike trail getting a few feet wider.

Oh, you would have loved it though! I steeped it for EXACTLY the right amount of time and the water was the perfect temperature and the flavor was just delicious! That's why I drank it to begin with! I just couldn't resist rewarding myself for a job well done, and that job was making the tea I drank instead of giving to you, the person I made it for to begin with... !!

"Not everyone that wanders is lost."
Hi. My name is Hailey Faria. I am very blessed to currently call Hawaii my home with my little family of four. My husband is a decorated Marine and we are so close to retiring and starting another chapter in our lives. It is going to be a very exciting tale to be told when we meet our great grandchildren - oh the places we have been. But as for me personally, the people I have met and have shared many life moments with are going to be my greatest stories.
I have been a professional photographer since 2012 - before then I was a Target Pharmacy Technician, worked at Golf Pro Shop and my first job ever was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (but was never a fan,oops).. #patriots
If you ask me if I have a "favorite" shoot - I would say my next one...because I find a favorite thing in each session. But I can say a memorable shoot of mine of all time was when I went to Maui with my husband to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and photograph a family of nine. This family showed me what commitment meant, what family meant and greatest of all..LOVE.. as they renewed their vows with their seven children. [ Their gallery is called "Sound of Music" in my galleries ]
But as for you and I, I promise we will leave as friends at the end of our session, you are not just a client..you are someone that I had the honor of sharing a moment in YOUR life with. A memory you will forever share with your family and friends, that is something I do not take lightly.
Let's talk soon!

I cant find the Item Part Number: AR4L-V (Arm Rest Pad) in white color !?
Unfortunately, I was just made aware that the white version of the part was discontinued by the manufacturer. We'll be editing the photo to remove the white one, so future customers won't get confused. Our apologies for the confusion.

Accommodation Benefit
Find out if you can get an accommodation benefit with your weekly student allowance.
Who can get Accommodation Benefit
If you get student allowance, you could get accommodation benefit.
You can't get an accommodation benefit if you:
- live with a parent, unless you have a child in your care
- live in a home provided by your parents, unless:
- you pay market rent
- you pay the costs associated with home ownership
- have a child in your care
- over 24, living with your partner and your combined income is $423.92 or more before tax a week.
You can't get an accommodation benefit if you or your partner have a tenancy agreement with a social housing provider. You may qualify for income-related rent instead.
Go to more information on social housing on the Ministry of Social Development Housing Assessment website.
How much Accommodation Benefit you can get
If you can get an accommodation benefit, you'll usually get it at the rate for the region you live in while you're studying.
For example, if you live in Auckland and you're single with a child you could get $60.00. If you live in Palmerston North without a child or partner you could get $37.00.
If you're overseas on an approved course, you'll get your accommodation benefit at the rate for the region where your New Zealand education provider is based.
If you live in a hostel, how much you get will depend on the hostel you live in.
For sole parents who start study on or after 1 July 2015, how much you can get will depend on your actual accommodation costs, your income and you cash assets.
How to apply for Accommodation Benefit
You don't need to apply separately for an accommodation benefit. We'll ask you everything we need to know when you apply for your Student Allowance.

Steve Grealish is well aware of that difference, sometimes painfully so. He and Mark Jennings have owned the Polk Street bar Shanghai Kelly's for 14 years, and the Van Ness Avenue club Mick's Lounge for the past seven. But at the end of the year, the pair will jump ship from Mick's. They're currently in the process of selling the club, and while he declines to provide specific details about who the new owners might be, Grealish describes them as "professionals with a sense of style that's a little more in tune with what's going on." Grealish confesses that he and Jennings have taken the club as far as it can go. "It was frequently an exercise in futility," he says.
Opening in 1992 with comfy alcoves, a goodly sized dance floor, and a bright blue neon sign that served as a beacon on the generally sleepy northern end of Van Ness, the initial plan for Mick's was to make it a club with a New Orleans vibe, as well as a local watering hole, Grealish explains. But every club, in one way or another, is a victim of its location, and Mick's happens to be on the corner of Union and Van Ness. So while N'awlins acts like Zigaboo Modeliste and John Mooney would pop in and Link Wray visited as well, Mick's slowly mutated into more or a less a show club for funk-and-groove bands and cover-act shtickery -- good-timey fun for Marina types for whom the frat party didn't end. The Cheeseballs, Super Diamond, and Undercover S.K.A. were all Mick's staples, as were acts like Vinyl, who've played 100 shows there; Eric Stock gave up his job as a sound man there to play drums with Stroke 9, the Bay Area's latest handsome hit-makers. In 1995 the club was highly recommended to conventioneers by Business Insurance magazine. "The bands are a great bunch of guys, even though they're doing something which most musical purists think is garbage," says Grealish. Ahem.
The situation makes Mick's a quiet place when bands aren't playing. Riff Raff dropped by on a recent Thursday before show time at a not-unreasonable hour (9 p.m.), and found ourself the only person there who wasn't an employee or band member. The phone rang, and the bartender picked up. "Mick's Lounge ... Pop Roxx and Slow Ride ... Pop Roxx is '80s covers, Slow Ride is '70s."
"I thought that there would be a mix, that it would be much more of a hang-around joint," says Grealish. "[The situation] forced us to do all our business around the bands. ... We tried a lot of things: charity functions, 5K runs, sponsoring clubs and Super Bowl parties." In the end, he says, "we became kind of a faceless entity besides who was onstage that night."
Grealish's attention to the club and experience as a longtime resident has drawn his eye to what's going on in the club scene in general, and he sees what's happening in SOMA as having a twofold effect on north-of-Market club owners like himself. On one hand, he sees the increased affluence of San Francisco residents creating a culture of live-music listeners more interested in cover bands. But, Grealish says, the changing face of SOMA as the clubs battle with tenants' rights groups and developers to preserve their place in the city has also cast a general pall on club life in S.F. in general. He supports a centralized club district. "That's what makes people go to New Orleans, Austin, and New York, and San Francisco ought to be noted for it as well. It's embarrassing when people come from New York and at 11:30 there's nothing to do," he says. "Is San Francisco just a restaurant city and that's it?"
Noise Pop Update It's months away, but the eighth annual San Francisco Noise Pop Festival is already starting to come together. Slated for March 1 through 5 at a variety of local clubs, the city's best showcase of punky melodic bands is trying a couple of things differently this time around. No lineups are confirmed yet, but Jordan Kurland, who helps coordinate Noise Pop along with founder Kevin Arnold, says he's looking into the possibility of a "Noise Pop-oriented film festival," which would showcase films and documentaries like The Decline of Western Civilization and the Guided by Voices movie Watch Me Jumpstart. But even more ambitious is Noise Pop Chicago, which will happen May 11 through 13 with an emphasis on Midwestern bands. "There are a lot of bands that would love to come out for Noise Pop [in San Francisco], but can't because of the problems with touring and travel," says Kurland.

I hope they both made loads of money!
Sarah E. Goode, (ca.1850-1909), Inventor
- First African-American woman to get a patent
Sarah Jacob was born into slavery in about 1850; she gained her freedom at the end of the Civil War and moved to Chicago shortly after. In Chicago she met and married Archibald Goode, a carpenter.
The idea of being married to a carpenter and starting a furniture store must have seemed natural, there would have been nothing natural about a woman, a former slave, running the shop. Despite this, Sarah built a thriving and well-known business.
In working with her customers, she heard their needs and that led to her invention: a cabinet bed or a fold-a-way bed. Her customers lived in small apartments and needed to maximize their space. Sarah worked out a design for a bed that could be used for sleeping during the night but converted into a rolltop desk during the day. The bed, complete with mattress and spring support, was attached by hinges and could be raised or lowered as needed. Because it was a rolltop it also provided storage.
Sarah Goode and First Patent
On July 14, 1885, Sarah E. Goode, became the first African American woman to be granted a patent by the U.S. Patent And Trademark Office (Patent #322,17), for her invention, the cabinet bed. Today we have the Murphy bed and the hide-away bed/couch as a result.
Sarah Goode died April 8, 1905.
Not much else is known about Sarah Goode's life or her store, but as I kept looking I did find an interesting footnote of sorts… While there have been many African-American inventors of both genders since Sarah' s time, I thought I would mention just one other woman I found: The first African-American woman doctor to patent a medical device was Patricia Bath (1942- ). She grew up in Harlem; her father was the first African-American subway motorman. She overcame color and gender barriers to becoming a doctor, and in 1988 she received a patent for a device she had been working on for 8 years., a Laserphaco Probe. This is a laser device that removes cataracts easily and makes it easy for the ophthalmologist to insert a new lens. Bath is still alive and continues to work on improvements. She holds three patents on the laser device and in 2000 she was granted a patent for a device to remove cataracts using ultrasound.
Another great accomplishment for which we can be grateful.
To read about another important African-American woman who was an inventor, read about Marjorie Stewart Joyner, who invented a hair-waving machine.

Good luck with your project Robert! The illustration of her invention helps you understand what she had in mind. Sadly there are no photographs of her because this would have been very early in the days of photography. Sarah was smart!
Thank you for your help it was great.:)
Thank you for your help kate it was great and it helped alot.:)
Your project will be great, too, Robert. There are so many interesting stories about inventors. If you scroll down this page, you'll find some other ones I've written about:
all of this stuff is help thank you i wish you would tipe to us more because you type good stuff to us when were sad.
all of this stuff is help thank you i wish you would tipe to us more because you type good stuff to us when were sad and you make us happ again with what you type thank you. :)

kate will you please aswer me. And if youcan't just let me know I will understand. Ok? Robert.
Hi Robert I am out of my office today but leave me any questions you have and I will answer you tomorrow.
I am busy on Friday but wanted to leave you a message. Click on this link http://americacomesalive.com/category/who-thought-of-that/
Read about another inventor and leave me a message as to which one you read about!
I am searching for the parents of my great-grandmother Maude (?E or I) Goode-Olson.
Could Sarah have been her mother?
She and Archie were said to have 6 children, 3 of whom lived into adulthood.
Maude could have been the 2 year old Inza M. Goode born reported Abt 1876 in Illinois.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Leanne,
I truly wish I could help but there is so little information about Sarah. I took a quick look on ancestry.com you are way ahead on what you know. I expect your best answers will come from those people also doing genealogy who may be able to confirm or deny what you're finding.
Thank you for visiting the site and so sorry not to be able to help.
how many children does she have? I have to do this for a project! please reply soon!!
Sarah, I'm sorry but there are no details about her personal life or family, other than what I have included. No newspaper would have interviewed her, and unless she left a journal or some type of document that survived, we have no way to know much about the other details of her life. It's frustrating for me, too! But your teacher will understand. That's also why there is no photograph or sketch of her.
if there is anny extra info you didn't put in here please reply!
if there is any extra info you didn't put in here please reply!
you don't need to reply. I love this site and thanks for the help! I got an A!!!! thanks Kate Kelly
Wonderful news… and thank you for visiting the site.
Are there any pictures or instructions in how the bed/desk work? I haven't seen any beds that fold up into a roll top desk. I think that is a great idea. I'm wondering why they aren't around anymore. I've seen murphy beds but I really like Sarahs idea better.
Hi Pat,
I'm sorry for my delay in answering you. I agree that a bed that doubles as something like a desk is a great idea. I think the best way to provide you with answers is by letting you examine Sarah's patent. Illustrations are always required—and at one point, working models were too, but I don't think hers survived). At any rate, this provides you with her method of constructing it as well as the working illustrations. If you make one, we'd love to see a photo!
