This is the sequel to the New York Times best-selling Wool series. It combines the three Shift books into a single audiobook in order to save the listener a few bucks. The saga concludes with Dust, which will be available in late 2013.
In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate.
In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event.
At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall - and the ability to forget it ever happened.

My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
In 2014 I had the patience to listen to Wool and give it 4 stars. In 2016, I find this is even slower than Wool or I am less patient than before. For the first three hours nothing interesting happens. Impatient people should not try this.

"Slow but Interesting"
A robust work of fiction that takes the reader behind the curtain to how the Silo world came to be. A bit slow on action but full of intrigue which helps show the complete story of the silos. A must for those who loved 'Wool'!
Mr. Reynolds' narration can be a bit slow at times but overall really helps bring the story to life!
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Ask Yourself Before You Buy..."
Is this the book for you? If you're considering "Shift" chances are you read and liked "Wool". I don't like sci-fi and have little patience for immensely long books, but enjoyed this one. Know the book is extremely slow to develop, written in the third person narrator, and jumps time periods-causing a little confusion. Brush up on the key points of the first book if it's been a while.
It's worth the trip to continue this story to the days days before "it" happened with the character Donald and his unwitting role in the machinations of a corrupt political agenda. At the very end, the characters and premise from the first book finally merge.
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Your ears are in for a real treat"
I was disappointed that Wool Omnibus was not read by a narrator who was as good as the material so I found it a real pleasure to listen to Shift Omnibus, an even better book IMO, read by the wonderful narrator of one of my favorite series, Riyria Revelations, Tim Gerard Reynolds. This is what audio books are all about for me; take a great book, paired with an appropriate great voice and then revel in the synergy of listening to a good story made even better in the telling.
If you liked Wool, you will almost undoubtedly enjoy Shift because it answers so many questions presented in Wool. Personally, I liked Wool a lot, but I really loved Shift. It is hard to decide how much of that is Howey's writing which has gotten ever more fluid as the story evolves and how much is the great narration by Reynolds. Probably some of both. Howey writes in a style that is very good for audio because he uses a lot of descriptive language; the man can truly paint a vivid picture. EX: Howey describing a character trying to shake off the effects of cold sleep; "Thoughts and memories reluctantly assembled like exhausted soldiers roused from their bunks in the middle of the night and told to form ranks in the freezing rain." And, Reynolds is one of those narrators whose voice pulls you in until you are not really conscious of the narrator at all so the story just flows and you get pictures in your mind almost like a movie.
Although Shift is labeled a sequel to Wool, it is actually almost entirely a prequel (the time periods of the two books start to overlap toward the end of Shift) and provides much of the explanation for the evolution of the "Wooliverse". It would be a crime to give much of the plot away because Shift is just chock full of those "AHA moments" when you suddenly understand something that didn't make sense or was confusing in Wool. I love being witness to real craftsmanship from an author and I could feel it all the way through Shift - Howey mapping out how this crazy society that I saw in Wool could ever have happened - AND making me believe it!
Great characters, suspenseful plot, wildly vivid settings, and a first-rate narrator - what is not to love about this? Can't wait for Dust (the next, last?, in the Wool series) scheduled to be released in August. Fingers crossed that the audio version is released at the same time with this same narrator!
If you find my reviews helpful, please mark them as such -- I make it my standard practice to do the same for others. Thank you very much.
"Not Bad, Not Great"
I have this odd love/hate relationship with this saga. I find huge amounts of it really well done and extremely absorbing. Like Wool, it drew me in and I found myself thinking about the story throughout my day. But the problem came when I would sit down to listen. It just didn't suck me in and carry me through when I was actually 'headphones in, play pressed'. My mind would wander and I would look at my phone in shock that it had only been 20 minutes. I listened to this at 3x and it still took me two weeks. For comparison, I can do a 10 hour book per day at that speed normally.
I agree with many of the reviewers who said this could have been woven in as delicate backstory in what I assume is now coming in Dust. My caveat to that concept, however, is these details may have been necessary for a really spectacular finish in the final book. That's what I'm banking on. I know it's a long road to walk, but I'm really hoping it was worth it.
I don't want to sound like I hated this listen- I honestly didn't. Reynolds did a great job- very glad they switched narrators. My only thought on that though is I kept waiting for him to talk about Darrow and the Reds.
In any case, if you're into the saga, listen, it's worth it. If you have a long list of stuff you would like to get to, I might jump to that first. It's a good book and has a lot of beautifully developed characters. Great last five minutes that gives me a lot of hope for the final installment, but it sure takes its time getting there.
"A bit of a slog."
I would have trimmed the content down a bit. I liked how much detail there was, and I also liked how the whole point of the book seems to have been depicting people who were completely dead inside and just "phoning it in" for their jobs and lives, but I feel like it dwelled on that bit of atmospherics for almost the entire book. A good premise, but it needed to be more concise.
As it was, "Shift" ended up making me feel like the characters, and the only thing keeping me listening to "Shift" was my long morning commute. So it was already a part of my ritual, and there was no point in changing it. I guess that makes me exactly like the characters in "Shift."
I loved "Wool" immensely. I loved every single character in "Wool," even the "bad guys." I even loved the romance that people seem to like protesting about. After finishing "Wool," I got "Shift" as soon as I could, anxious to spend more time in this world.
While I like how "Shift" answered many of my questions about "Wool," I didn't like the long slog and I didn't care about any of the characters nearly as much as the denizens of "Wool." I especially didn't care about Washington DC in the above-ground near-future (which populates about a third of the book).
Would I have been so harsh on "Shift," if it didn't come after "Wool"? I'm not sure. I think much of my criticism boils down to "it wasn't as good as 'Wool,' which was excellent."
"In the beginning it was political intrigue"
The minute I finished 'Wool' (Silo Saga #1) I snatched up 'Shift.' 'Wool' left a huge cliffhanger and I had to know what happened next. That is when I realized 'Shift' is the story of how the Silo came about. It was the answer to what caused the people in the Silo to live underground and what catastrophe had destroyed the topside of the earth. I was a bit disappointed but still very interested. I finished a fourth of the book before I realized I was forcing myself to read it. I simply wasn't in the frame of mind. I put it on my 'to-be-continued' shelf until I was ready to enjoy it instead of slog through it.
Browsing audible I found that Tim Gerard Reynolds narrated the book. He's a fantastic narrator, so I got this version at a considerably cheaper rate, due to whispersync, as I already had the kindle version. I started listening to 'Shift' a little while ago. I still had difficulty connecting to this book. The writing is not to fault. Howey did a wonderful job, and Tim Gerard Reynolds narrated it very well.
'Shift' is set in Washington D.C. We follow Donald, a newly appointed Senator for Georgia. He has a strong connection to powerful senior Senator Thurman, whom he grew up with. We find out that Donald was gifted the election by Thurman. Donald would not have won on his own and Thurman has his own agenda for him. Donald, his fellow friend and junior Senator Mitch, and several other new Georgia appointees are tasked to work on Thurman's secret legacy project. Very little information is given. Each person only knows about their section of it. Donald's true task is not to represent Georgia, he still has to do that of course, but he is to utilize his architectural skills, taking a design he created in College, and adapt it to be built underground. He is to develop the Silo.
'Shift' details the Silo project and switches in between two periods of time: the time the Silo Project was built, and the time after where Donald and Thurman are woken from a cryogenic freeze periodically to deal with problems arising in the Silo.
The story does not really have any redeeming characters. You have two women in Donald's life who are flat and one-dimensional. Helen, his wife, who lives in Georgia. You never learn much about her other than Donald loves her, she is jealous of Anna, she is a sounding board, and she takes care of their dog. Anna, is a past girlfriend of Donald's and is Thurman's daughter. They still have attraction to one another, and Donald constructs boundaries as Anna finds ways to tear them down. She is the IT intelligence behind the Silo project. We are supposed to feel for and like Donald, but I couldn't help but be irritated at his naiveté. He worked in Washington and grew up with Thurman as a child. It was hard for me to believe he hadn't developed some cynicism. The revelations should not have been so hard for him to figure out.
There is value in this book, but you will not be getting your answers to the cliffhanger in 'Wool.' You will get a build up to it at the very end but expect that the cliffhanger from the first book won't be answered till the third. 'Shift' is interesting , you get answers to why the Silo's were developed. I would classify it more as political thriller than dystopian fiction. I am interested enough to move to the third, but I wasn't nearly as excited or drawn into this book as 'Wool.'
"Don't think I am gonna finish this book...sad face"
Not right now. The story is SO SLOW. I am 6 hours into listening to the book and there isn't any real intrigue just a whold bunch of people without a clue.
I guess but not high on my list right now. Think I will actually try and read one of his books next.
Not too interesting.
Have not finished the book. Probably won't - it is SO SLOW - nothing happens.
Ok I get it - people's minds have been messed with. We have no real clue what the problem is and it doesn't seem like Hugh Howey is inclined to let his readers know. 6 hours into the listen and it is basically this - People are in Silos recovering or awaiting the Earth's recovery from a USA planned attack on humanity. There are Silos that are failing but with the whole world gone and no interesting characters what's the big deal? I get that the drugs have deadened people's interest in life but he killed my interest in the story by dragging it out so much. BORING, BORING, BORING can't believe I got 6 hours in....
Middle-aged, married dad of two, living in Northern Burbs of Chicago. Hard Sci Fi addict, and lover of great storytelling. Almost all of my reading is now in audio format.
"A short story painfully extruded to 18hrs. Ughhh."
Full and fair disclosure... I HATE captive hero novels, big brother overlord novels, and prison stories. So the real question is, why in the hell did I buy this book? I don't have a good answer other than to say that, YUP! Still hate 'em.
That said, I will offer my critique.
The novel is very well visualized. F'ing painful, but it's very clear what the author wants you to see. But part of this is the exhaustive detail that Howey puts into every moment he chooses to write about. There's no skipping, by god. He writes every detail.
It's nice that the main character isn't whipped up from the New York Times Best Seller recipe. He's very unique. But god, what a whuss. If he 'cried' and 'the tears streamed down his cheek' one more time, I was going to reach in through my iPhone and slap him. There's got to be an app for that. He's also completely blind to every, single one of the patently obvious ominous warnings of impending doom.
I just can't get into bottling humanity in a thermos and seeing what happens, so you can tell the threadbare parable of 'free will: good / big brother: bad.' Well, no sh_t. Pretty sure we all know that. Ayn Rand put the cherry on that pie, then shoved every last gooey morsel down our throats, so unless you have something SERIOUSLY compelling to add to that message, please move on.
I just couldn't do it. I gave it two chances. It finally wore me down when a second, upcoming hero in the book got buried under another mountainous overburden of suspicion that absolutely no human being could ever escape.
ugh. run.

The very first Whiskey Live worldwide tour whistled through town on the weekend. Set up at the Russian-inspired Shanghai Exhibition Center, kilted Scots and bourbon barons were dispatched from their home countries to 'educate' the Chinese market on various whiskeys available.
Of course, just a sniff of an alcohol-related event in town also attracted the thirsty foreigner lushes. Being a couple of binge drinkers ourselves we were curious on how a bottle of Pipers 5L of scotch with ginger ale compared to the all allusive top shelf stuff.
The answer? Just because you're drinking the good stuff, doesn't make the end result any more classy.
What we did learn though:
- Johnny Walker is the 'Fosters' of whiskey. Nobody in Scotland actually drinks it, like nobody in Australia actually drinks Fosters beer.
- Whiskey can be smoky, sweet, sour, and tangy. The more one drinks the more adjectives the whiskey acquires.
- Shanghai-folk already seem well versed on good scotch and what to do with it.
- Dewar is a very happy host. Johnny Walker is an absolute snob.
- Sean Connery and Andy Garcia are both hall of fame whiskey drinkers.

Folkston, Georgia has been very nice to the Bulldogs. Boss Bailey is a good example of just why. In his career at Georgia, Bailey became one of the top playmakers at Georgia, but his career was put on hold in 2000 after an ACL tear. Bailey was the overall team captain for the 2002 SEC Championship season. He was also named All-American and All-SEC that season. Bailey set a then school record by blocking three field goals in 2002 – perhaps none more important than in Georgia's 18-13 win over Tennessee. Bailey ended his career with 266 tackles – including a program-leading 114 in 2002. Bailey was the 34th overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft.
Tony Taylor, like Bailey, suffered an ACL injury that limited his trajectory at Georgia. Taylor was an essential part of special teams and the defense on Georgia's 2002 SEC Championship team. He was a team captain for the 2006 season, and was a starter on the 2005 SEC Championship team. He seemed to make plays at will in 2006 – recording huge momentum-swinging plays against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech late that season. He ended his career with 176 tackles and ten tackles for loss.
Middle Linebacker – Odell Thurman (2003-04) and Tony Gilbert (2000-02)
One has to imagine just how good Odell Thurman could have been without so many of the self-inflicted problems he had. Perhaps the top overall linebacker in terms of skill to play for Mark Richt, Thurman was impossible to cage on the field. His signature play was a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown against Auburn in 2003. He was an All-SEC selection in 2003 and 2004. Thurman ended his career at Georgia with 184 tackles and 9.5 sacks.
A critical component of the 2002 SEC Championship team, Tony Gilbert was the defensive captain for that year. He was named second team All-SEC in 2002. Gilbert was steady at middle linebacker as a two-year starter. He also started 2000 at outside linebacker. He ended his career with 328 tackles, good enough for 10th best all time at Georgia. Gilbert was the 210th overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft.
Outside Linebacker – Will Witherspoon (1998-2001) and Rennie Curran (2007-Present) A three-year starter who helped the Dawgs move from the Donnan Era to the Richt Era, Will Witherspoon was one of the top players on a solid 2001 defense. Certainly one of the most talented outside linebackers to play for Richt, it would have been more interesting to see what a few more years under Mark Richt at Georgia could have done for Witherspoon. The Florida native may be now best known for his NFL career, however. He made a splash against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII with a career-high 16 tackles for the Carolina Panthers. He ended his career at Georgia with 211 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Witherspoon was the 73rd overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft.
This selection may be a bit of a projection, but Rennie Curran has become the heart and soul of the Bulldog defense going into his junior season. His first two years at Georgia have been nothing more than steady tackling and playmaking. There were times in 2008 when fans would wonder if the defense would get off the field without Curran making several plays to make certain that happened. In just two seasons at Georgia, Curran has racked up 168 tackles, six sacks, 19 tackles for loss and 22 quarterback hurries.

wikiHow to Make a Wine Spritzer
A wine spritzer is a refreshing combination of white or red wine, sparkling soda, and ice. They're a great way to cut calories, reduce your alcohol consumption, or just conserve your wine supply at parties. Wine spritzers are especially appreciated during those hot summer afternoons. Follow these quick steps, and make a delicious wine spritzer today!
- Ice cubes
- 4 oz. (120 ml) red or white wine
- 2 oz. (60 ml) club soda or sparkling water
- Fruit for garnish (optional)
1Fill a wine glass about half full with ice cubes.
2Pour 4 oz. (120 ml) of chilled white, red or rose wine into the glass.
- Chilling the wine in advance will keep it from melting the ice too quickly and diluting the drink too much.
- Nearly any kind of wine can be used to make this drink. You can use to use a lower quality bottle of wine or boxed wine to make spritzers, since the flavor of the wine will be diluted with water and ice, but as with anything, the better the ingredients you use, the better the final product will be. (However, should you turn a 2005 Petrus into a spritzer, wine aficionados around the world will hunt you down and make you drink Ripple.)
3Add about 2 oz. (60 ml) of club soda, sparkling water, or seltzer water.
4Stir gently with a spoon, straw or stir-stick.
5Garnish with fruit. Suitable garnishes include:
- Lemon, lime or orange slices
- Melon or cantaloupe balls
- A sprig of fresh mint or sage
- Raspberries, blueberries and strawberries make appealing additions.
- Try to take the wine's flavor profile into consideration when you are garnishing. For example, a chardonnay spritzer might pair well with a vanilla bean garnish, while a lemon slice will work well with a semillon blanc.
6Serve the wine spritzer immediately. If it sits too long, the club soda or seltzer water may begin to lose its fizz and go flat.
Community Q&A
- This wine spritzer recipe makes only 1 serving. If you need to make this drink for multiple guests, try this alternative recipe: Mix two 750ml bottles of red or white wine and a 1 liter (0.3 US gal) bottle of club soda or seltzer water into a large pitcher or punch bowl and gently stir. Chill for an hour. Fill the desired number of wine glasses approximately half-full of ice. Pour or ladle the wine mixture into each glass. You can add a garnish of fruit to each glass or to just the pitcher or bowl if you like. Serve the spritzer quickly and enjoy.
- You may opt to substitute ginger ale or lemon-lime soda for the club soda in this recipe to add a bit of sweetness to your spritzer. If you prefer an even sweeter drink, you might add a splash of apple, cranberry or other fruit juice and make a wine spritzer cocktail.
- Try different wines: a Rosé makes a good spritzer; pinot grigio, pinot blanc, and vinegar all make delicious spritzers, too.
- Please be sure to obey your local laws for drinking.
- Please drink responsibly.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I absolutely cannot stand this company! Getty Images advertises their images online and there's several steps before seeing that there's a price for the photos. Additionally, they have sections: "rights-managed" (which to someone not in the photography business would only assume those are the copy righted ones) and then a "Royalty free" section. (which someone not in the photography business would probably assume these are free since the word FREE is in it. It's on the verge of false advertising, if you ask me.
My boyfriend used some of these photos off the internet and then received a letter stating they wanted some highly insane payment for the use and since the photos were copy-righted, they must be removed immediately. Which of course he did once he realized they werent FREE. Some odd months later, he received a letter from an attorney named McCormack demanding something around $3,000 in lue of being sued. This is like the second or third letter from the attorney now.
I did some research online about Getty images and the thousands of people complaining they were blind sighted by this company and their "scam" and their "scare tactic" letters. They automatically presume your guilt in these letters. What happened to innocent until proven guilty??? They automatically place the burden of proving your innocence on you....um, thats not how it works in America. They automatically claim "punative" damages....without providing proof of how you using their images has damaged them and how they came to the amount they're asking for.
I've read that they have a whole department of people who just sit there and track these photos. I would be willing to bet that they designed this website with the idea of this is how they were going to make their money. And I'd also be willing to bet that they scare enough people, that they make more money by doing these infringement letters, than they do by selling their own d**n photos. FAIL! What a joke they are. I hope someone takes them down and they belly flop in bankcuptcy from someone who they've given anxiety and stress to. Someone who can turn around and sue them for the headaches and stress and unnecessary guilt they placed on thousands of innocent people.

Healthcare.gov website still plagued with problems
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Three weeks into www.healthcare.gov's website launch, people are still struggling to sign up.
President Barack Obama addressed the nation Monday about the website's issues. He said he is mad about the problems, but argues the Affordable Care Act as a whole is working as planned.
Nineteen million Americans have tried to log onto this website to see what affordable care options are available.
So far, approximately half a million people have successfully signed up. This has Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler wishing the administration would have taken more time to think through the health care bill and website.
However, that did not happen and now delays are seemingly unavoidable for citizens logging onto heathcare.gov.
"There's no sugarcoating it. The website has been too slow, people have been getting stuck during the application process, and I think it's fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am, precisely because the product is good, I want the cash registers to work, I want the checkout lines to be smooth, so I want people to be able to get this great product," said President Obama.
That product cannot be seen, however, until one successfully logs onto the website.
"There is no reason that it should not be working. Clearly they need to move to a different vendor or start over again," said Hartzler.
The president said they are working with the brightest minds to fix the glitches. However, with for a website that cost more than $500 million to build, it has some concerned, since companies like Twitter and Instagram were able to connect with the world for far less than half of that amount.
"If it was a private business who had done that, they would have been fired." said Hartzler.
Those that need to buy insurance have until March 31, before they will have to a pay a tax penalty.

93 kg = I am too fat Am I really so humorless?
Komputer Korner – December 2007
Some useful information which I have picked up recently:
- If you use Parallels on an Intel Mac – and you really should – you can add a shared folder /Volumes and you will get a mapped drive holding all your mounted OSX volumes automatically, including dmg, sparse images, ssh volumes etc. For me this means that I can now see the file system on my iPod in WindowsXP even while it is connected and being synced in MacOSX. /Volumes is hidden in the Finder but you can type the name manually when adding a new shared folder in Parallels (and you don't even have to close or restart Parallels)
- The entire suite of fantastically useful/powerful SysInternals tools for Windows are available as a single package from Microsoft. If you have to deal with Windows at an even vaguely technical level, you really should be using these tools, especially ProcessExplorer and ProcessMonitor.
- Safari has tabbed browsing, but it is turned off by default. How did I miss this? That's the only reason I installed Firefox on MacOSX.
- Google has created the Google Chart API, which means you can get a nice simple chart rendering just by specifying the data in the URI. This means that people can stop writing their own crappy Sparkline implementations!
- Super Remove Dead Tracks v2.0 is an AppleScript to scan your iTunes library and remove tracks that no longer exist on your hard drive. Why Apple neglected to include this UNBELIEVABLY OBVIOUS AND NECESSARY funtionality from iTunes I have no idea. Turns out about 20% of my library was missing, largely because of removed dupes, and now when I update my iPod it actually copies the tracks I expect.
- If you have a MacBook then for God's sake get 2GB of RAM and get it now! (not from Apple though, they will totally screw you on price) Since upgrading I notice the icons in the dock bounce just once now instead of three times when I start applications. It sucks that an OS should need more than a gigabyte just to run smoothly, but that's just how it is these days. Except for Linux of course, but I'm not going there any time soon.

By Gurpreet Kaur, Tablet market analyst
Just a few months ago, I was fairly certain that a Wi-Fi only tablet would have trouble competing. I even wrote about it in an article called "The tablet's taboo: How a lack of connectivity will cripple adoption," but it's already time to crumple up that piece of paper, throw it in the trash and start over. So I'm coming forward with new statistics and a new theory.
Anyone tracking the tablet market has witnessed a clear shift in the industry's emphasis behind the inclusion of cellular connectivity. Being both a PC and a mobile category, vendors are still exploring options and testing demand for connectivity features in a device. Most smartphone analysts would agree, without a doubt, that cellular connectivity is a must-have and with this assumption, as well as the initial dominating presence of mobile phone vendors in the tablet category, 3G-equipped devices controlled a solid portion of the market as 2010 came to a close.
Source: Gap Intelligence monthly tablet pricing and promotions report, June 2011
Industry watchers, without the knowledge of user behavior, user preference or user budget would assume that cellular connectivity is a must have, in terms of functionality and channel presence, as well as a source of downstream revenue. The market saw an almost equal distribution of the shelf between cellular and just wireless tablets during the last year. Cellular-equipped tablets also played a major role in expanding the scope of a product's retail visibility as wireless carriers not only placed products in their retail stores, but also helped expand a tablet's distribution to other retail chains. For example, if a tablet was offered through Verizon, then not only was it available at Verizon stores, but also sold through Verizon's partners such as Best Buy, Costco, Kmart, and Fry's Electronics.
Source: Gap Intelligence monthly tablet pricing and promotions report, June 2011
Fast forward six months, the tablet market has undergone a level of transformation that can only be seen once a decade and we are experiencing a very different retail shelf currently. Not only has the number of vendors with products in the U.S. retail channel increased from 1 to 21 since June 2010 and placements increased from 6 to 146 units during the same timeframe, the retail shelf has seen a major shift in cellular and Wi-Fi-equipped device placements. The cellular tablet placement share, which was equal to or close to the Wi-Fi-equipped tablet share until last year, dropped to 30 percent of all tablet placements in May 2011.
Source: Gap Intelligence monthly tablet pricing and promotions report, June 2011
Although it's a mobile device, a tablet is not as "mobile" as a smartphone. Tablet usage primarily takes place within a Wi-Fi environment, such as cafes, airports, offices, and my couch. While a 3G feature on a smartphone or tablet might only come into play when on the go or in places that do not offer Wi-Fi connection, like a park or bus. This usage behavior, combined with recent stats reported by JiWire, reveal that the number of free wireless hotspots in the U.S. outnumbered paid Wi-Fi locations in August 2010, with 55.1 percent of public Wi-Fi locations available at no charge. This information might lead one to believe that a lack of cellular connectivity currently does not translate into disaster for the category.
With that, we have a stark change in vendors' product strategies, who quickly realized that user behavior tends to be towards tablet usage in a Wi-Fi-environment and that cellular connectivity is not an absolutely essential feature in a tablet device. Evidence suggests that consumers preferred Wi-Fi devices over cellular models, at least last year. Their experience with the cellular data feature will possibly influence second generation buyers in the market for a tablet. The inclusion of cellular connectivity or absence of it, will not only determine consumers' purchase motivations, but will also affect retailers' decision to carry a product in-store.
Despite the massive growth in the tablet industry, the category has already seen its share of corrections in product development and go-to-market strategies in its first year of relevance. Who knows, you might be hearing from me again after we learn more about which way the tablet market is leaning in the Wi-Fi versus cellular tug of war. Admitting you were a little off the mark can be very liberating...

Fitness Challenge Success
Last month, I started the #iHeartOmron 30 day fitness challenge to see what kind of difference I could make in my life and my body. I actually started working on getting back to better habits the day I applied for the challenge. It was a great motivation for me and I was thrilled to be chosen as one of the Fitness Challenge Ambassadors!
Since applying for the challenge, I lost 15.6 pounds! I also lost inches in all areas on my body! No complaints from me on that one! I cannot wait to share my total weight loss at the #iHeartOmron Twitter party.
#iHeartOmron Twitter Party
You know I love a good Twitter party and I cannot wait to join Omron Fitness and Mamavation for the #iHeartOmron Twitter party celebration with all of the fitness challenge ambassadors! So I hope you'll join me!
WHEN: Wednesday, February 20th from 8-10pm EST
HASHTAG: #iHeartOmron
THEME: Work out smarter instead of longer
PRIZES: 510W scale retails for $79.99 (2 winners), HJ-323U Connected pedometer retails at $49.99 (2 winners), HR-500U Heart rate monitor retails for $149.99 (2 winners)
RSVP here and join us for a great party!
Omron Strapless Continuous Heart Rate Monitor
During the 30 day Fitness Challenge, I have been monitoring my success using some great gadgets from Omron Fitness. I love a good gadget so it has been fun and extremely motivating. I shared the story of how my pedometer motivates me. And I've loved weighing in on the Omron scale and learning about my body composition as well as my weight.
My newest gadget is the Omron Strapless Continuous Heart Rate Monitor. I've never had a heart rate monitor but always wanted one. So I was excited to try this one out. I knew a lot about different heart rate zones from my experience working out with a personal trainer when I was losing weight the first time. But I never had a monitor so I never put the knowledge to use.
There were a number of features I loved about the Omron heart rate monitor, including:
- No chest strap! (This is the feature that first caught my eye!)
- Tracking of pace and distance during walks and runs. (I walk a ton and love knowing the distance on my routes.)
- Tracks calories burned during workouts.
- The monitor also features a clock so I don't have to put on a watch or carry my phone with me!
So, I have another gadget that is now helping get me motivated. I haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but so far it's fun. It's also helping me gain a better understanding of the type of workout I'm getting based on my heart rate. And I love learning new things that will help me be successful!
Tell me about a recent health or fitness success you experienced!
Formula Mom Disclosure: This post is sponsored Omron Fitness as a collaboration with Bookieboo Blogging Network and Mamavation – a community dedicated to weight loss for women and obesity prevention for families. I was provided with product and compensation for my time and honest opinions.

- Sprouted Grain Crunchy Cereal

- The Original - 100% Flourless
- The Live Grain Difference!

- A Complete Protein Crunchy Cereal
- Certified Organic by QAI
Food For Life Cereals have The Live Grain Difference
Different from most cereals today, Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain cereals—Original Flavor, Cinnamon Raisin, Almond and Golden Flax—are made from freshly sprouted certified organically grown whole live grains, legumes, and seeds, and contain absolutely no flour.
We believe in sprouting the grains we use in our cereals because sprouting is the only way to release all of the vital nutrients stored in whole grains. To unlock this dormant food energy, and maximize nutrition and flavor, we add just the right amount of water to healthy, whole organically grown grains which are already bursting with nutrients. Beneficial enzymes are activated which cause the grains to sprout and become a living food. Our exclusive sprouting process not only increases valuable nutrients but also causes a natural change that promotes more efficient assimilation of the protein and carbohydrates through enzymatic action.
And even better still, our exclusive slow baking techniques help preserve these valuable nutrients and retains the important natural fiber and bran.
You can see, taste, and smell The Live Grain Difference of Food For Life cereals. See the difference fresh sprouts really make.
These unique cereals contain no refined sugar, no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, no shortening and no cholesterol.
So when you're looking for nutrition in a cereal, reach for the sprouted grain cereals from Food For Life and partake of the miracle. Your body and taste buds will know the difference.
Food For Life is Always Striving for the Best
At Food for Life, a devotion to good health is the foundation for everything we make. Based on our Ezekiel 4:9 bread, we prepare special loaves in small batches using only the finest freshly sprouted organic grains, legumes and seeds with absolutely no flour. Then, bake them in a special process using extra care to ensure a delicate yet grainy flavor. The loaves are then made into a crunchy and nutritious cereal that excites the taste buds.
Wholesome and Nutritious. For the highly active, Ezekiel 4:9 cereal provides a good source of complex carbohydrates needed to maintain peak performance. For the not so active, we add no fat! For the fiber-conscious, this unique cereal is a good source of natural dietary fiber. And for cereal lovers of all types, Ezekiel 4:9 cereal is free of preservatives, artificial flavors, colors and yeast. Ezekiel 4:9 cereal is the delicate balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals which only come from natural grains.
The Original 100% Flourless Complete Protein
Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Cereal is inspired by the Holy Scripture verse: "Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and Beans and Lentils and Millet and Spelt and put them in one vessel and make bread of it..." Ez 4:9
We discovered when these six grains and legumes are sprouted and combined, an amazing thing happens. A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. Plus, there are 18 amino acids present in this unique cereal - from all vegetable sources!
Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Cereal, made from freshly sprouted organically grown grains, is naturally flavorful and bursting with nutrients, and rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and natural fiber with no added fat. Try it served with your favorite rice or soy milk for a real healthy start!
This Biblical Cereal is Truly the Staff of Life.
- Yeast-free
- No added oil
- No artificial flavors
Suggested Use
Ezekiel 4:9 cereal can be enjoyed as a hot or cold breakfast cereal. The natural whole grain goodness and energy source of Ezekiel 4:9 cereal is a great way to start the day off right.

Crunchy, and not sweet tasting
This cereal is a healthy option as cereals go. I don't like sweet cereals and this cereal isn't sweet, but doesn't taste bland either. It's crunchy and has a decent flavor to it. You don't have to eat much to feel satisfied.
Cereal for Health - Ezekiel 4:9
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 24, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I have used Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted cereal for a very long time and it is the best cereal if one is interested in health. Other commercial cereals are loaded with sugar, preservatives and who knows what else. Ezekiel cereal is natural and enjoy it with nuts, a spoon of coconut oil and sliced banana and a little organic milk. You won't be satisfied by any other cereal after trying this and the only one I know that is suitable for cancer patients too. It is truly 'Food for Life'.
CAUTION: So good, it's nearly addictive!

Facility Detail
Tappan Square
Tappan Square connects the college to the city of Oberlin.
Legend has it that Oberlin's founders, Presbyterian ministers John Shipherd and Philo Stewart, stopped at an elm tree in the southeast corner, prayed, and decided that it was the place to build their community. The historic elm stayed on the square until disease forced its removal in 1965. A year later, Tappan Square became a National Historic Landmark.
The park is named after Arthur Tappan, a 19th-century abolitionist who was instrumental in keeping the college financially solvent in its early years. Originally known as "the Campus," several college buildings were built on the square. At the bequest of 1885 alumnus Charles Martin Hall, inventor of the commercial process for aluminum production, the buildings were removed. Hall wanted to preserve an open park area in Oberlin, free from buildings. The only structures that remain in the square are the Clark Bandstand and the Memorial Arch.
The 13-acre site hosts many events—festivals, bonfires, rallies, concerts, vigils, and marches. In particular, Tappan Square provides a home for Commencement, Folk Fest, the Doggie Doo Dog Parade, Local Foods Fest, Beltane, Juneteenth, the Oberlin Rocks, and a small group of albino squirrels. Events in Tappan are generally free, geared toward building community between college students and Oberlin residents.

Hundreds of children facing a longer wait.
The start of winter soccer for hundreds of Auckland children will be delayed because the drought's stunting of grass growth has made fields dangerous or vulnerable to destruction.
Two of the city's biggest clubs - Three Kings United and Western Springs Football Club - have restricted use of their home grounds, and more clubs are expected to take the same action.
Three Kings United, which plays at Keith Hay Park, said 900 children in grades 5 to 9 would start the season on May 4 instead of April 6.
Western Springs decided to restrict use of two main fields to seniors and delay games for 1400 other players until after the school holidays.
Fields used for Three Kings' junior play have exposed sand patches where the grass has not grown.
The playing surface has caused several leg injuries.
Three Kings juniors chairman Tony Wilkinson said about 150 teams in the club's in-house junior schedule would not play on April 6, 13 and 20.
"These are community grounds and we can't destroy them."
But the three days would not be lost, because juniors would play on June 1 of Queen's Birthday Weekend and the last weekend of each school holiday - May 4 and July 27.
"There's a lot of desire for the kids to get on the field, so putting the brakes on was the last thing we wanted to do."
Youth and senior games were not affected.
Two of Western Springs' fields are being rebuilt as artificial turf pitches and will not be ready until mid June.
Remaining fields could not tolerate the volume of play, said club juniors chairman Michael Hope.
"We have too many kids and not enough grounds."
The 8th grade would start on May 10 and all others up to 10th grade would start on Saturday May 11.
"But once we get the new pitches under way we will have guaranteed football," Mr Hope said.
"We have not had any complaints and we can promise a good season and carry it on a bit longer."
Onehunga-Mangere Football Club will start its grade 9 juniors on April 6. Its grades 7 and 8 will start on April 13 because of a shortage of fields until an artificial pitch is ready at Michaels Ave Reserve in Ellerslie.
Auckland Football Federation chief executive David Parker said more than 20,000 club players would turn out this season, and clubs were aware of the possibility of poor grounds cutting back their playing time.

Ok gave in and having a fab shop make the rear endplate. Took forever to find one that would do it.
Also scheduled time to have tubing and rest of custom stuff done. Also this is at the dyno shop that will be doing the dyno tune. So they will fab it then do the tune so hopefully in 2 weeks it will be done! I have the 3.48" pulley but think since I am going for the custom tune I will go straight to the 3.33" pulley for tune.
Today I removed anything that would be in the way of the intercooler. Air dam, aux fan they are gone for the time being. Once I have the intercooler installed I will get another fan smaller to replace the aux fan. It is amazing how much stuff was lodged in between the fan and the radiator!!! Had to shop vac out over 2 hand fulls of leaves and such.

UnitedHealth Slow to Fix Military Care Backlog: Pentagon
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH), the largest U.S. health insurer, is failing to meet terms of a $20.5 billion military contract, causing lingering delays to medical care, a Pentagon official said.
The backlogs occurred after Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth took over the contract last month from TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp., according to the Defense Department. The agreement is for coordinating care in the western region of the military's Tricare health system.
UnitedHealth "continues to be unable to comply with the requirements of their contract," Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said in a memo dated May 16. The result is that beneficiaries are prevented "from obtaining timely access to specialty care and potentially causing them to suffer harm," he said.
Pentagon officials on May 2 temporarily waived a requirement that beneficiaries in one military plan in the western region get UnitedHealth's authorization for specialty care. The Defense Department is now extending the waiver through June 18, according to Woodson's memo to military officials. The original waiver had been set to expire tomorrow.
UnitedHealth is "deploying the full resources of the company to ensure that beneficiaries receive the care and service they deserve," Lori McDougal, chief executive officer of the firm's military and veterans unit, said in a statement.
"We are making progress in clearing pending referrals and authorizations and we continue to work in close collaboration with our government partners to meet care and access standards," McDougal said.
Exceeded Norms
The delays in the region were due to requests for referrals and care authorizations that "far exceeded the norms" since UnitedHealth took over the contract, Bruce Jasurda, a UnitedHealth spokesman, said earlier this month.
The delays affected beneficiaries in the Tricare Prime program, a plan in which participants are assigned a primary-care manager responsible for referring patients to specialists.
Those referrals require the contractor's authorization. Participants who don't obtain that approval are normally subject to a fee. The Pentagon is temporarily waiving that charge and the contractor authorization requirement.
There are 1.6 million Tricare Prime beneficiaries in the region served by UnitedHealth. The contractor is responsible for coordinating care for active-duty military, retirees and their families in 21 states, including California, Hawaii and Colorado.

How the ghost shark lost its stomach
Lack of digestive organ in fish and other animals linked to genes
By Susan Milius, 10:57 AM December 4, 2013
Animals from lungfish and ghost sharks to platypuses have lost their acid-making stomachs over evolutionary time, and researchers have now traced the genetic changes behind these stomach upsets.
True stomachs with digestive glands that concentrate acid and release protein-cutting enzymes called pepsins evolved with vertebrates. The gastric glands arose some 450 million years ago but have dwindled away at least 15 separate times across the animal tree of life, explains Filipe Castro of the Univ...

Prime Minister John Key has joked that the country's gift for the royal baby will be the man he crossed swords with in a select committee hearing last week.
"We're giving them Kim Dotcom," Mr Key quipped while stepping down from the lectern at post-Cabinet conference today after a series of questions on the likely gift for the imminent royal birth.
Mr Key gave a confused nod - head shake when asked if the gift was a Buzzy Bee pull-along toy.
"No," he said.
It's the first time Mr Key has given any significant comment on the gift for Prince William and Kate Middleton's first child, although he hasn't let slip what the gift will actually be.
He said Cabinet Office had come up with the idea for the gift and had run it past him and the royal household.
He was able to veto a gift if he didn't think it was "that flash", Mr Key said.
He was asked if it was a pearl encrusted rattle and he replied: "Well it's not that", but he did say it was "special".
When asked if it was a stuffed Kiwi, he replied: "it's a step up from a stuffed Kiwi".
Mr Key has maintained it would be "inappropriate" to announce any gift prior to the baby's arrival.
Prince William was given a fine lace shawl for his christening in 1982. It was designed, spun and knitted by craft artist Margaret Stove.
William was also given a Buzzy Bee pull-along toy when he came to New Zealand as a toddler.
Former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard created a storm last month when she appeared in the Australian Women's Weekly knitting a toy kangaroo for the royal baby.
Antiseptic cream company Sudocrem has commissioned celebrity jewellery designer Theo Fennell to create a lavish baby gift, worth over NZ$19,000 - a jewel-encrusted, 18-carat white gold charm bracelet with an inbuilt nappy rash-cream holder.
The Finnish government has given the couple a care package that includes condoms, leggings, hairbrush and nappy-rash cream. Expectant mothers in Finland are given the same box.
The baby is believed to be due any day now, with media having long ago marked out territory outside the Lindo Wind of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London.
The Queen has stationed a private chartered helicopter at Prince William's RAF base in Anglesey so he can reach London on time for the birth of his first child.
Ostetrician Marcus Setchell will be alerted on his specially-encrypted mobile phone by the Royal couple's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
According to the hospital's website, a normal delivery package costs NZ$9600 for the first 24 hours, rising to NZ$12,410 for the first 24 hours of a caesarean birth.

Loretta Ann P. Rosales
Thank you very much for inviting me to your human rights advocacy seminar. It is an honor and a great opportunity for me to share my thoughts and experiences with you. Tomorrow morning I will also speak before the PNP at Camp Crame as they jumpstart the series of intensive human rights training of their human rights officers who will be detailed in each and every police station all over the country. I believe the AFP under the leadership of Lt. Gen. David is also contemplating of doing the same for the military.
I put great importance in engaging with the security sector for two particular reasons. First, the security sector plays a very crucial role in winning the peace through the paradigm shift espoused by the new administration. This is a huge responsibility because in the ultimate analysis, the peace process greatly affects the over-all human rights situation in the country. Second, many human rights violations are committed by rogue members of the security sector. I am sorry to say this, but we need to admit this fact. It is only when we come to terms with our frailties and shortcomings as individuals and as an organization that we become empowered to correct them and address systemic issues. It is for these two reasons that the CHR is doing everything it can to reach out to the security sector.
You may be asking, what is Human Rights anyway? Why should the security sector bother with it? Would human rights be even relevant in situations of armed conflict where soldiers either kill their enemies or get killed by them? Why do soldiers always get blamed for human rights violations, as if soldiers do not have human rights that are also violated by other armed groups? These are persistent questions, and we shall attempt to answer them.
Human rights are rights that every human being has simply because she or he is human. The concept of human rights is based on the inherent dignity of the human person. Because every human being has intrinsic worth, every human person, therefore, is born with equal and inalienable rights. In other words, these rights are not created or given by the State but are possessed by every human being as soon as she or he comes to the world. These rights are universal, meaning all human beings in the world have them regardless of their sex, gender, skin color, race, nationality, social status, religion or political belief. These rights are also interdependent, interrelated and indivisible, meaning one human right is necessary for the fulfilment of all the other human rights; consequently, the violation of one human right will necessarily violate all the other human rights. No one, neither state nor non-state actors, may curtail these rights except only under a small number of clearly defined situations that are strictly applied.
Human rights were not given much attention until we have experienced the scourge of two world wars. This ugliest part of human history made us witnesses to the systematic murder of millions of people and many other unspeakable, barbarous acts, all of which resulted from a patent disregard and contempt for human rights. With an outraged conscience, every nation stood together in 1945 and declared, "Never again." The United Nations was then established, whose Charter reaffirmed faith in the dignity and worth of the human person. In 1948 all States signed and promulgated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since then, governments around the world, including the Philippines , have signed and ratified many international human rights covenants. With these treaties, States legally obliged themselves to respect, protect and fulfil human rights.
In the Philippines , in no other period in our history has the clamor for human rights been so pervasive than during Martial Law. In those dark years, an oppressive dictator arrogated unto himself all powers of government, and egregiously used the military to silence those who stood against his despotism. Widespread and systematic violations of human rights were committed by Marcos, with the security sector doing the dirty work for him. Many civilians were murdered, tortured and abused. I know this for a fact because I myself was tortured and molested by members of the military.
When we regained our democracy through People Power in 1986, we said, "Never again." We declared it a national policy in the 1987 Constitution that the State values the dignity of the human person and guarantees full respect for human rights. We provided in the Constitution full articles for the Bill of Rights, Social Justice and Human Rights, and even established the Commission on Human Rights. We willed it that every action of the government should be directed towards the achievement of one goal – the establishment of a just and humane society – a goal which can only be realized if human rights are universally recognized and respected, with the government actively protecting and promoting them.
Article II Section 3 of the Constitution expressly provides that "The Armed Forces of the Philippines is the protector of the people and the State." Note that the "people" comes first before the "State". This is not unintended, but in fact deliberately meant. This is because the State is established to serve the people and to ensure that the most basic of their human rights are observed and fulfilled. Thus, if the Armed Forces of the Philippines is to faithfully comply with its duty, then the Armed Forces of the Philippines should be the foremost human rights advocate; conversely, every violation of human rights coming from the military is a violation of its sworn, Constitutional duty. Human rights, therefore, should be at the core of all the operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines .
If the military always gets blamed for human rights violations, it is because of the fact that indeed, many human rights violations are committed by the military. Again, we need to be honorable enough to admit this fact. This is not to say that members of the military have no human rights. Every human being has human rights. Thus, unless you don't consider yourselves human beings, you also have the same human rights as any other human being. If you feel that your human rights are being violated by anyone – by rebels, by civilians, or by your immediate superiors alike – come to the CHR and we will defend your rights.
You may feel it is unfair that every action of the military is rigorously put to the test of human rights. True, the military is under stricter scrutiny, but it is not unfair or unjust. The Armed Forces of the Philippines must be gauged by the highest standards of honor and dignity, and rightly so, for you are neither the rebels who have no accountability to the people nor are you the scoundrels who use weapons for personal gains. No. You are the Armed Forces of the Philippines – the protector of the people and the State – and we expect from our protectors full respect for human rights and nothing less.
I believe that there are many good women and men in the armed forces than there are violators of human rights in its ranks. The challenge for the armed forces is how to regain the trust and confidence of the people. This will be possible if you are able to effect meaningful and lasting change in the way you conduct your operations. To do this, two things are imperative:
These are tall orders and certainly the AFP cannot do all these on its own. You need to cooperate with other stakeholders. I invite you to strengthen your linkages with the CHR. The CHR is not here to find-fault in the military; we are here to help you perform and remain true to your duty. I also ask you to extend your linkages to other human rights defenders, for like you, they also fight for democracy and freedom.
The road to winning the peace is not one where war is waged at every step of the way; it is not one where the rule of law is supplanted by the rule of bullets and ammunitions; it is not one where sheer brute force reigns supreme. The way to peace is paved by the utmost respect for human dignity which manifests itself into full observance of human rights and humanitarian law. Hinihikayat ko kayong lahat, sama-sama nating tahakin ang daan tungo sa kapayapaan, kaunalaran, at karapatang pantao.

BeautyCo57 Watermill Lane, Greatneck Ny 11021 Great Neck, New York USA
BeautyCo, Irresponsible business with lackadaisical employees and cowardly manager. Great Neck New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered a product from BeautyCo through Deal Chicken. The product was ordered and paid for on 9/24/13. When I hadn't recieved the product, or a tracking number by mid October I sent several emails which were unanswered. I called and was assured by Cindy that my product would be sent out and I would recieve it the following week.
Next week, no package. So I called and again spoke with Cindy. She said that I could call her back the next day and would recieve a tracking number. I called the next day and Cindy was not in. Next week, no package. This puts us at Veterans Day. I called again and the person I spoke with said that the person in charge of tracking numbers was not in because "you know, it's that day...some sort of holiday." As the mother of a vetran this infuriated me, and set me on a mission.
I called the next day hoping that since it was no longer "some sort of holiday", I would be able to track down someone with an answer. Noone in who dealt with tracking numbers or Deal Chicken items. So I asked to speak with the manager. After holding for 13 minutes I was told that Nitasha was in a meeting and that she would call me back. I waited, for a day and a half and called again. Nitasha was once again unavailable and would call me back.
No call again. So I called to see if maybe someone could help me. "Yes mam, that product was back ordered and are being sent out tomorrow."
It is now December 5. I still do not have a product. I have not spoken with Nitasha, and have had no luck in getting a phone call returned. If you ever are going to order from Deal Chicken, and the product is distrubted by BeautyCo. Do not order. This is the most imcompetent bunch of fools I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

New project
I took this picture today lest anyone accuse me of no longer riding my bicycle. I learned that if you place your camera on your bike seat and set the self-timer, you come out with an bike's eye image, as if your bike were taking a picture of you, rather than the other way around.
But now, with the reality of autumn sinking in, I have started sitting down with the 45 minutes of idle free time I have in the day (I can bump this up to 55 if I avoid Facebook, 75 if I avoid blogging), and begun to map out ideas for an autobiography about the stretch of time between March 1 and mid-July. I think if I can find momentum, this will be a really fun project for me. For me, writing about experiences is not just a creative outlet - it's a form of art. The experiences themselves are the initial photograph, the immediate capture of a moment in time. Blogging is the rough sketch, drawing from that photograph a form that is only beginning to take shape. But writing, something I only rarely do, is like painting. I look back at the photograph. I spread my sketch on canvas. Then I take out my paints, my best ideas, and I surround the sketch with color strokes, shadows, hints of light, until it takes on a deeper, richer meaning. I used to paint often, but I no longer own the art supplies, so now I write. I think writing will be an excellent way to spend some down time this winter, and it will give me an excuse to sit in coffee shops and look intellectual and maybe meet other people of this type. :-)
But all good writing needs to be about something, so I am trying to dream up a central theme. The natural beginning is my 12 ill-fated hours in this year's Iditarod bike race. It has all the good dramatic elements to set up a story ... the struggle, the danger, the failure, the frostbite. I want this to be about more than riding bikes, but I don't want to fall into the narrative trap of a story about losing a relationship and trying to find myself. There are other ideas bouncing around in my head. It's fun, actually, thinking of myself as the character in my own story. I have to write what's true, but the truth is so much more fun to paint than fiction.
But as with anything I do that feels more committed, I'm intimidated by the scope of it all, even if I never finish it, or if I finish it and hate it, or worst of all, if I finish it and love it and never take it anywhere. Since I started mapping out chapter one, I went back and read and re-read my early March blog entries. And already I'm learning valuable lessons from myself, namely something I wrote shortly after the race, when I was still on crutches:
I don't want to ever become the kind of person who doesn't dare to fail and fail spectacularly. I don't ever want to be unwilling to approach the unknown. I don't ever want to live a life free of risk.
So I'm resolved to finally take a pen to paper (or Microsoft Word, whatever), and I'm blogging about it to put yet another flighty goal out there in a way that will keep me at least semi-committed.
