2012 Topps Five Star Baseball 3 Box Case --- HIT DRAFT
Blog Link: [url]http://www.blogtv.com/People/JMANLEE3[/url]
Please send payments as GOODS to "firstname.lastname@example.com".
This is a HIT DRAFT for a 3-box case of the new and upcoming 2012 Topps Five Star Baseball!!!
3 boxes per case / 1 pack per box / 5 cards per pack ('5' total hits' / All Auto's or Relic's)
15 total slots / hits to be drafted
A snake draft will be used to determine who gets the extra/remaining cards that were not drafted. Ex. The 15th overall pick will have the 16th overall pick. 14th pick will have the 17th pick and so on…
We will random first before break and draft after break.
After case is opened all hits will be scanned and uploaded for participants to see and ready to draft. See below for more information on the draft.
Case will be opened live on blogtv and recorded for viewers to see!
ZERO TOLERANCE for disrespecting or rudeness. Please exercise good communication with one another or action will be taken.
Mod will random the list of all 15 participants to determine draft slot positions.
Participant with first overall pick in the draft will pick first, then second participant, and so on until the last participant selects his hit.
Draft day and time will be posted after all information / cards have been posted on the OP. A PM will be sent to all the participants about the start time of the draft.
Each pick will have a 1-hr window to draft the card they want BUT I will allow for 15 minutes for notification to pass before the 1-hr window begins. If a pick is on the clock and does not select his hit between the 1-hr window frames, then I will automatically pick for him. I will have a pre-ranked list of the hits starting from the most valuable to the least. This will all be done on my estimated value of each card. Please send me a pm of the pre-ranked cards you want if you are unable to draft or do not want to risk me auto-picking your cards for you from the pre-ranked list! I will not be at fault for choosing a card for you if you do not select within your 1-hr time frame. Your draft window starts when the person with the previous makes his selection, not when you are pm-ed. Towards the evening, if a pick has not been made yet before draft day closes, there will be a carry-over to the next day and the time will start off where it left off the night before. Please clearly list the card or base/inserts that you want to draft.
THE BEST WAY TO KEEP UPDATED WITH THE DRAFT OR THIS THREAD IS TO SUBSCRIBE TO IT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. Otherwise, I am not responsible for you missing your pick and me selecting your hit.
I will ship to addresses provided by you through your papal payment. Otherwise, please let me know ASAP if you have another address you want your cards sent to.
Shipping insurance is optional, but recommended for those who have high draft picks or cards deemed to have high value. The price of shipping insurance is depended on how much you want insured. I'll make calculations through USPS.com and let you know how much it will be. Please let me know if you want insurance included within your S/H.

Where I stayed
Happy Indian Independence Day!
After a harrowing journey to Mysore in which we saw 3 separate auto accidents, we were all a bit shell shocked, and took some time to recoup before seeing the city. We headed to the Mysore palace, a HUGE building that housed the Maharaja of Karnataka. While a little weak on historical muscle (The building is only 100 yrs old) it was still gorgeous. For my California readers, envision an Indian Hearst Castle. I wasn't able to take my camera inside, but some of the outside pictures do it reasonable justice.
From there we proceeded to Chumundi hill, one of the most sacred sites in South India
We then proceeded to check out some of the other historical buildings in the area, including a building that was once a guesthouse for friends of the Maharaja. It is now a swanky hotel, notably only because it bears an uncanny resemblance to our White House.
That night the palace was lit up beautifully, and then, being masochists, we woke up to see the sunrise, which was glorious.
In an effort to experience the famed Mysore markets, we dived headfirst into the bazaar. It was authentic India at it's finest: multi-colored tikka powder, burlap sacks full of chilies and potatoes, and hordes of men selling trinkets. It was awesome. Afterwards we spent some time silk shopping and enjoying the local zoo before heading "home."
Side note: After getting back to Pondi, I found out I'm going to be able to intern with the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, I'm really stoked!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
It definitely costs a few coins...$165 for the 'bare bones' room, $820 for the Viceroy Suite, which is where the Viceroy of India(British Ruler) was housed. It's especially crazy because of the local incomes...Someone in Ashok's income bracket, for instance, subsists on 120-170 bucks a month.

The Grand Parade Construction Site
Another view down the Grand Parade and a look at the construction site that takes up most of the street! Well known shop fronts such as the Singer Sewing Centre are visible in the background. In sharp contrast, the new Soho bar and restaurant is right next to it. It's all modern steel beams and plate glass.
Since this photo was taken they've taken down the fountain in the centre of the street. I presume it'll be put back again?

I guess we'll just have to trust that progress is being made here, because I can't tell that it is.
What a headache for commuters.

We've suffered Irish theme pubs over here for ages offering delights such as All Day Irish Breakfasts and, I kid you not, Champ and Sausages! So now you've a slice of Laaaarndon to look forward to in Cork. I hope the prices aren't too realistic….

[…] This was a construction site a few months ago but work is progressing well and most of the work is done. […]

Mike Warren Lien Judgement Michael Kimble Deception & Dishonesty from Mike Warren & Michael Kimble Colorado Springs Colorado
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In March 2014, I bought a Judgement/Lien package on a wewbinar sponsored by Michael Kimble,
The package is managed by Mike Warren. The picrhse came with a 30 day money back guarantee.
I returned the package on the 21st day. The Mike Warren organisation acknowledged receipt of the package as well as agreed to make the refund payyment. It has been 5 weeks now since the package has been returned. Every time I call, a guy by the name of Patrick Jones responds with pious and humble apologies. But he never send the refund payment.
It is very difficult to get in touch by phone or email. They have a system of avoidance.
I recommend that everyone should totally avoid purchasing anything from Mike Warren and Michael Kimble !
They have no integrity and are based on selfishness and theft from customers. [continued below]....
Take this as a serious red flag. I have documentation to support this allegation.
Ignore this advise based on experience, and you will receive aggravation, and loss of money.

The Chinatown neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, is on the South Side (located in the Armour Square community area), centered on Cermak and Wentworth Avenues, and is an example of an American Chinatown, or ethnic-Chinese neighborhood. By the 2000 Census, Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas has 68,021 Chinese. Chicago is the second oldest settlement of Chinese in America after the Chinese fled persecution in California.
Chicago's Chinatown is home to a number of banks, Chinese restaurants, gift shops, grocery stores, Chinese medicine stores, as well as a number of services that cater to people interested in Chinese culture, including those speaking Chinese, especially the Cantonese dialect. It is a community hub for Chinese people in Chicago metropolitan area, a business center for Chinese in the Midwest, as well as a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Source: Wikipedia

Heart of Chicago
Pilsen is the heart of Chicago's Mexican-American community whose wealth of restaurants and shops is matched by its cultural riches, much of which is found in a renowned museum. A recent influx of public art murals and galleries has given rise to a bustling Chicago Arts District. The adjoining Heart of Chicago community also has deep Northern Italian roots best experienced through its top-rated restaurants.
Little Italy
Little Italy is a neighborhood on the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois. The current boundaries of Little Italy are Ashland Avenue on the west and Morgan Street on the east — bracketed by Harrison Street on the north and Roosevelt Road; i.e., 12th Street, on the south.
Today, it is primarily a restaurant district, with a mixed, multi-ethnic character, although several Italian-American restaurants remain. The neighborhood also hosts the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame as well as the historic Roman Catholic churches Our Lady of Pompeii, Notre Dame de Chicago, and Holy Family. Source: Wikipedia
Pilsen has always been a port of entry for successive waves of poor foreign immigrants. The first Bohemian (Czech) families came to Chicago in 1853 and began settling in Pilsen in 1868 in large numbers. Nowadays, the heart of Pilsen is along 18th Street, an active commercial corridor, with Mexican bakeries, restaurants and groceries. East Pilsen, around 18th and Halsted, has become a vibrant art gallery community. Source: Wikipedia

West Loop
The southern West Loop, is part of a former a former manufacturing corridor turned art-edgy neighborhood. It consists primarily of warehouses that are still in use or have been converted to loft condominiums (loftominiums), restaurants, night clubs, art galleries and some retail. The community is home to mixed-income residents from ethnically diverse socio-economic backgrounds as a result of immigration, urban renewal, gentrification and the growth of the resident student and faculty population of the university.

Far Rockaway Woman On Trial In Pennsylvania
Three people, including one Rockaway resident, accused of using fake credit cards to buy a few thousand dollars-worth of gift cards at two Millcreek (Pennsylvania) Township businesses in November, face trial on charges in the case, according to published sources in that state.
Takeria C. Lopez, 23, of Brooklyn, and Ashli K. Outcalt, 22, of Far Rockaway, were ordered to stand trial on felony charges of theft by deception, access device fraud and forgery, as well as misdemeanor drug charges, in their preliminary hearings before Millcreek District Judge Paul Manzi on Tuesday morning.
A misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia filed against Outcalt was dismissed.
Lloyd A. Williams, 24, of Queens, will face trial on a felony count of theft by deception and a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia. Five other charges against Williams were withdrawn.
Millcreek police filed the charges after accusing the three of using counterfeit credit cards on November 16 to buy cigarettes and about $1,000-worth of gift cards at the Sheetz store at West 26 Street and Asbury Road; and $1,200- worth of gift cards at the Walmart store at 4950 West 23 Street.
Police were alerted to the alleged illegal purchases when Jesse Burkel, a clerk at the Sheetz store, said he told Millcreek police Patrolman Daniel Schupp, who had entered the store a short time after Lopez and Outcalt left, that the women had used several different credit cards to buy the gift cards. Schupp testified that he gave the officer a description of the car in which the women left. Schupp said he found the car at the Walmart store, according to police.
Kathy Roman, a Walmart cashier, testified that two women used "at least six or more" credit cards to buy $1,200 in baby shower gift cards.
Schupp said he saw the women get into the car after leaving Walmart, and he stopped the vehicle after it turned onto West 23 Street without its lights on. Another officer brought Burkel to the area where the traffic stop was made, and Burkel said he identified Lopez and Outcalt as the women who had purchased gift cards at Sheetz.
Officers who went through the car after being given consent to search it, found numerous gift cards, including 19 bundles of 10 gift cards, with each card valued at $100, that were in a pink bag in the back seat, Schupp testified.
Police later found a bag in a trash can outside of the Walmart store that contained multiple credit cards that had been cut up, Schupp said. Detectives pieced the cards together and were able to match up some of the cards with the purchases made at Sheetz and Walmart, he said.
U.S. Secret Service Agent Rod Wellman testified that the 53 credit cards obtained by Millcreek police in the investigation were all counterfeit cards.
Lopez, Outcalt and Williams are all free on bond.

Tuscola teacher touches livesCecilia Ruth Marcus named National Outstanding Teacher
It wasn't because of her silly antics or her classroom dancing, but because of her serious effort to make learning memorable that Cecilia Ruth Marcus has claimed the title as National Outstanding Teacher for 2012-13.
Marcus, who teaches history at Tuscola High School, believes she was always meant to be a teacher — and her recent recognition from the Americanism Educational Leaders as National Outstanding Teacher has only confirmed her career choice.
"I was called to teach," she said. "I have always found that teachers were some of the people that I admired and respected the most. I saw what a difference that teachers make daily in the lives of students."
The award is meant to honor a high school teacher who has demonstrated the qualities of creativity, effectiveness and inspiration both in school and in the community.
"I was very thrilled to receive this honor," Marcus said. "I was blessed with the most supportive parents growing up. They always encouraged me to never settle for anything less than my best. They taught me the importance of hard work and dedication, and I carried these values with me into adulthood. This award is so gratifying because of all the hard work that not only I, but all the hard work that my parents, put into my education so that I could be my best."
The Americanism Educational Leaders is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young Americans learn about and better appreciate our country's history.
To show appreciation to the teachers who help students do this, AEL established its Outstanding Teacher Award to recognize civics, U.S. history or social science teachers.
Marcus, who has taught for 14 years, said she was grateful to have been recognized nationally.
"Schools in the south are sometimes looked down upon," she said. "It is encouraging when it is nationally noticed that teachers in North Carolina are as good as any. …Teachers don't always get a lot of recognition for the hard job that they perform. When it is so painfully obvious that monetary rewards are not possible, it is all the more important to show our teachers our appreciation."
This national award was open to all teachers who have completed at least two years at their current school.
Though modest about her award, Marcus said the key to being a successful teacher was continuous improvement.
"Complacency is a teacher's worst enemy," she said. "I look at my own two young daughters and how important their education is to me. I want to be the kind of teacher for others that I would want for my own children. I would want their teachers to inspire and instill a love for lifelong learning."
Marcus said she approached teaching as if she were an entertainer.
"A lecture is like a performance and students can tell in an instant when a teacher has put their all into it," she said. "Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
The AEL noted in a press release "Mrs. Marcus' love and respect for history inspires others, especially her students. She possesses a passion and enthusiasm for history that is easily translated unto others, and has a drive and focus to promote history in all aspects of her life."
In addition, Marcus is currently serving as Haywood County School's 2012-13 Teacher of the Year. She is the daughter of Harvey and Cecilia Lance of Waynesville.
Marcus currently serves as the Chairman of Professional Learning Community on Common Core Instruction. She is also a member of the Haywood County Schools Foundation, the Spirit Committee as well as the National Honor Society Faculty Committee Member.
Marcus teaches history on both regular and AP levels. Though she recognizes the challenges of teaching, she said some things made it worthwhile.
"I love when students come back to see me years after I have taught them," she said. "I love when they make a special effort to come see me and tell me about their lives. In that moment I know that I have transcended the role of teacher and touched their lives."
Only one teacher in the United States receives this award each year. Marcus will also receive a $2,500 cash prize.

A banana split was a Human 20th century ice cream dish, usually eaten as a dessert.
In 2367, Wesley Crusher told Jono that the banana split was "possibly one of the greatest things in the universe," even after the latter had misjudged his spoon handling ability and splashed Crusher in the face. (TNG: "Suddenly Human")

Q&A: Colonel Bob Sheridan
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Photo: Dave Cameron
Legendary boxing broadcaster Colonel Bob Sheridan talks to Fightnews.com about the fights he has called including "The Rumble in the Jungle" and "The Thrilla in Manila" and says the Larry Holmes vs. Ken Norton bout was the best he has seen and Larry Holmes is the best heavyweight. The Colonel also discusses reasons why he has been overlooked by the International Boxing Hall of Fame and why his health has dramatically improved.
Fightnews: You have called fights for 46 years and your massive audience is to countries outside the USA.. How does your audience compare with HBO and Showtime numbers?
Colonel: My audience would be 10-20 times larger than any fights on HBO or Showtime ppv depending on the magnitude of the fight. the bigger the event, the more countries buy the fight. as far back as 1974 the Ali-Foreman fight telecast that I anchored topped 1 billion people worldwide….
Fightnews: The Boxing Writers of America presented you with a special award in 1998. Can you give details?
Colonel: In 1998 Mr Ed Brophy came to Miami to present me a special award for doing my 600th world title fight that night. The Boxing Writers of America presented me with the Sam Taub award in New York City as boxing commentator of the year.
Fightnews: The third bout between Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier aka the "Thrilla in Manila" is regarded by many as the greatest heavyweight battle in boxing history. You called this fight. Your thoughts?
Colonel: That fight was voted by Ring Magazine as the Fight of the Century, however, in my opinion while the fight was sensational; both Ali and Joe were well past their peak. The magnitude of their names, the fact that Ali had just won the title back in October in "The Rumble in the Jungle," coupled with the fact they almost killed each other in the "Thrilla in Manila" is why this fight is considered so high in the history of boxing. it's my opinion that the first fight in New York was actually a bigger and better fight.
Fightnews: The Muhammad Ali v George Foreman heavyweight title bout was broadcast globally. Was the biggest fight you called. Your thoughts?
The 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali v George Foreman or "The Rumble in the Jungle" reaching an audience of over one billion fans was certainly my biggest and best call at the time,and one of my most memorable fights. However, you must remember some of the other great fights I called during the Hearns, Leonard, Hagler and Duran era were sensational. Calling the Julio Ceasar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen fight before 130 thousand plus live fans in Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Foreman's disposal of Norton in Venezuela with Muhammad Ali doing color on the telecast, coming out of the hospitlal following a heart attack the night before to call the Tyson vs. Holyfield "ear biting fight" in Las Vegas, calling the sensational rise and fall of nearly all of Mike Tyson's fights including the upset of the century when Buster Douglas beat Tyson in Tokyo, then there was the seven knockdown fight between Ron Lyle and George Foreman that had me screaming, broadcasting nearly all of the fights of the sensational careers of Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Oscar de la Hoya, Salvador Sanchez, Manny Pacquiao, the Klitschko brothers and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are just some of the highlights. If you want me to tell you what I think the best fight I ever saw and had the pleasure of calling was, I would have to say the WBC world heavyweight championship fight in 1978 between Larry Holmes and Ken Norton. It is not only my best call of a championship fight, but is also perhaps the best fight I ever saw…
Fightnews: Who is the best heavyweight you have ever seen?
Colonel: When I'm out speaking and I'm asked who I thought was the best heavyweight of my 46 years of calling championship fights, when I answer Larry Holmes I usually get boo'd and everybody starts chanting, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, then when I start to explain that Larry Holmes had the greatest heart of any heavyweight of all time. I tell my audience that Larry Holmes did one thing that no other heavyweight champion from Joe Louis to Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield, Lennox Lewis to the Klitschkos was ever able to do. I saw and called fights in which Larry Holnes was actually knocked out, but came off the canvas to win heavyweight championship fights. The most impressive time was in Pittsburgh when Reynaldo Snipes dropped Larry right in front of me,and I could see Holmes eyes rolling back in his head and his right foot quivering at the count of three, he got off the canvas and eventually stopped Snipes. He did the same thing twice more, against Ernie Shavers and Mike Weaver on my birthday of June 22nd in Madison Square Garden. No other heavyweight suffered these kinds of bone crushing knock downs as was able to come back. When I finish this story, there are no more Ali chants and the crowd always begins to murmer.
Fightnews: You have been recognised by World Boxing Hall of Fame, the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame, the Canada Boxing Hall of Fame and honored by the Australian Boxing Hall of Fame, but you have not been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Your thoughts?
Colonel: All I can say is I hope it happens some day, but in all honesty I don't feel that most of the nominating members of the IBHOF are aware of the magnitude of my international telecasts. I'm not seen on local television, except for the ESPN Classics and a few fights on the Fox Sports Network. I have many, many people who would love to see me get the ultimate honor, but in all honesty most of the people on the election committee, are just not aware of my international work, or my longevity in the sport. It's kind of ironic since it is, the 'International Boxing Hall of Fame.' Dan Rafael of ESPN keeps track of my world championship fight telecasts and now that I am closing in on 1000 world title broadcasts. I just keep my fingers crossed that some day it will happen before I die.
Fightnews: In 2010 you spent six months in hospital suffering with health problems. You have lost over 100 pounds and have regained your health. What do you attribute this to?
Colonel: My health problems are under control thanks to the "Product B" longevity formula natural pills I take twice a day which has improved my heart function, knocked out diabetes and coupled with 130 pounds in weight loss over the past two years, I feel I can keep calling fights for another 20 years.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 10, 2011—Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing solutions that create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, today introduces its new family of upright vacuums to provide solutions for customers who need simple, commercial-grade products with proven performance at a lower total cost of ownership. Designed to handle a variety of floor-care challenges, Tennant's new upright vacuum line offers various size and power options for facilities with small, hard-to-reach areas, large spaces, and anywhere in between.
Building on the highly successful Single Motor Upright (V-SMU-14) launched in 2010, Tennant has added three new options to its upright vacuum line of products: a Lightweight Upright (V-LWU-13), a Dual Motor Upright (V-DMU-14) and a Wide Area Vacuum (V-WA-30). Each of Tennant's upright vacuums is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily cleaning use by using components that have been proven in commercial application for more than five years. The durability of these upright vacuums lowers total cost of ownership by minimizing the time and money associated with replacing common vacuum parts. Tennant's suite of vacuums offers an essential commercial cleaning solution for healthcare, education, retail, office and hospitality environments.
Tennant Upright Vacuum Suite Benefits
"Tennant offers customers affordable solutions without sacrificing performance or features that make it easy for them to operate," said Rusty Zay, vice president of global marketing for Tennant Company. "Our newest family of upright vacuums delivers essential commercial cleaning products to meet the toughest carpet care challenges."
The Lightweight Upright (V-LWU-13) effectively cleans small, hard-to-reach areasAt only 8 lbs. and CRI Gold certification, this unit is ideal for small spaces or applications where the vacuum is lifted on/off carts, up/down stairs or transported from building to building.
The Dual Motor Upright (V-DMU-14) provides extra power for heavy-duty cleaning needsThe Dual Motor Upright is a powerful machine with CRI Silver certification. Similar to the recently launched Single Motor Upright, Tennant focused on designing a vacuum that virtually eliminates at least four of the top maintenance and reliability issues—issues that put vacuums in the repair shop and are a nuisance to operators. It is ideal for medium-size facilities that have a lot of combination hard/soft floors or areas that require a lot of detail cleaning.
The Wide Area Vacuum (V-WA-30) quickly cleans large spacesAt 30"/76 cm wide, Tennant's new Wide Area Vacuum offers productivity improvements over traditional upright vacuums. Large facilities with open spaces are ideal applications for maximizing the productivity benefits this vacuum offers.
Company ProfileMinneapolis-based Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC) is a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world. Its products include equipment for maintaining surfaces in industrial, commercial and outdoor environments; chemical-free and other sustainable cleaning technologies; and coatings for protecting, repairing and upgrading floors. Tennant's global field service network is the most extensive in the industry. Tennant has manufacturing operations in Minneapolis, Minn.; Holland, Mich.; Louisville, Ky; Uden, The Netherlands; the United Kingdom; São Paulo, Brazil; and Shanghai, China; and sells products directly in 15 countries and through distributors in more than 80 countries.

Understanding Chemtrails NWO
Includes original footage now featured on "What In The World Are They Spraying". Chemtrails Are: Persistent lines of chemical-infused aerosol spray dispersals from typically unmarked planes which are now seen in the sky all over the world. Unlike normal jet contrails formed from water vapor, chemtrails spread to form a thick blanket of cloud cover, held together by polymer fibers until they reach the ground, contaminating crops, water supplies and humans with radioactive soft metals and dessicated red blood cells which contain active human pathogens.
Researchers discovered 6 different agendas or motives for these operations, some of which may overlap: environment or climate changes, biological, military purposes, electromagnetic, geophysical or global effects, and exotic propulsion systems. Analysis of material from chemtrails has revealed magnetic salts, including the toxic substance of barium. Fibers, submicron in size, have also been detected, and they bear a physical similarity to the filaments found in Morgellons Disease.
We are the enemy. And we are all being sprayed like bugs with unkown aerosolized chemicals.
Welcome to the New World Order
This video will help those who have not understood, nor ever heard of the New World Order. This video will enter into things of 9/11 that most people have no clue happened (e.g. building 7 collapse/demolition). Then gets into Hillary Clinton and her ties to secret groups with world government plans. You can't keep sleeping on these plans that are coming into play fast. All video footage is from valid sources that slipped up and revealed the truth... I strongly recommend you to follow on you tube the next episodes from this series: "New World Order Agenda, and Secret Occult Plans".

text: The Wheatgrass Trucker Story by WheatGrassKits.com | Friday, October 08, 2010 | 4 comment(s) After being an over-the-road truck driver for 6 years, my health was suffering. I could not get good enough rest or sleep. I was so tired and in pain. I could barely walk at times. The doctors wanted to put me on drugs, and I refused! So, I started learning about nutrition and was on a mission to heal myself! I took out the passenger seat in my truck and put in a shelf. I started growing wheatgrass and sprouts on the road. I have three (8 trays) Handy Pantry sprouters, eight sprout jars, three Sprout Masters and two 11x17 wheatgrass trays! I grow 11 different kinds of sprouts that I eat in salads and on every sandwich. I grow two 11x17 trays of wheatgrass a week and get around 2 1/2 lb of wheatgrass per week! I drink 4oz of wheatgrass juice every day. I also make homemade SauerKraut and Rye Rejuvelac for the probiotics. Six months after I began, I lost over 42 pounds, have amazing amounts of energy. I sleep great, and I have no more pain! I can walk like a normal person again!!! I am LOVING LIFE again!!! Thank You for your products and support!Yours Truly, Wade, The Wheatgrass Trucker!! We spoke to Wade after we received his video and he told us "I love teaching everyone I come across that shows interest!" Wade also told us that he now has so much energy that he is working out. He bought a Total Gym and has it on his truck. He prepares all of his own food and stopped eating at fast food places along his route. Wade is 40 years old and feels so good that he actually feels like he has woken up out of a dream.

The grass fibers are tough and the additional passes pay off royally. 1 comment(s) Tiffany Glock February 25, 2016 1:42 PM reply What an inspiration! I have been toying with the idea of growing wheat grass and sprouting other things for many years but Wade has given me the push I needed to just do it! I am excited to get started, now to get shopping!! Thank you so much for showing Wade's videos on your site. I am going to share them with my friend, who has a husband that is a trucker. He has been having some health issues as well. Maybe he would do something like this. Here's to our health!! 1 comment(s) Odecy Soares August 23, 2016 9:12 PM reply wow! you are really determind, Good for you. l did had a great expediency with a similar aprout , wheat grass sprouts , vegetable juices , .

Top 10 wine region restaurants — Sicily
The first in our new series touring the best eateries in the most famous wine regions around the world. This week we're taking a look at the Mediterranean island of Sicily.
The Sicilian passion for food and wine is hard to match, and so it is fitting that it is here that we kick-off our Top Wine Regions' Best Restaurants series.
This volcanic region formed at the base of the active Mount Etna is famed as being a culinary melting pot.
Its proximity to the great empires of the last two millennia – from ancient Greece through to the Romans and the Ottoman empire – has resulted in cooking that is italian at its core, but with a flare for arabian fruits and spices as well other southern European influences.
Take a look at how the best restaurants in Sicily do their part to lay-on the island's truly unique cuisine, as suggested by Sicilian journalist and food-fanatic Daniele Palumbo.

Linton, Oliver (1993) Adaptive estimation in ARCH models. Econometric Theory, 9 (4). pp. 539-569. ISSN 0266-4666
We construct efficient estimators of the identifiable parameters in a regression model when the errors follow a stationary parametric ARCH(P) process. We do not assume a functional form for the conditional density of the errors, but do require that it be symmetric about zero. The estimators of the mean parameters are adaptive in the sense of Bickel [2]. The ARCH parameters are not jointly identifiable with the error density. We consider a reparameterization of the variance process and show that the identifiable parameters of this process are adaptively estimable.

A fall mushroom found across northern North America, the Matsutake grows under or near conifers and has a distinctive spicy aroma that makes it recognizable even when blindfolded.
Cooking uses:
Best when cooked in soups or grilled and eaten with dipping sauces, Matsutake are not meant to be prepared in butter or cream.
Maitake (Hen of the Woods)
One of the most treasured edible mushrooms of autumn, the maitake is a polypore, meaning that its underside has a surface made up of tiny pores or holes. Found growing at the base of oak trees throughout northeastern North America, a single maitake can be as large as 2 feet across and more than a foot high. The average maitake, however, is about 1 foot high and weighs 2 to 5 pounds.
Cooking uses:
Maitake mushrooms dry easily and can be rehydrated for use in soups; they can also be sauteed and pickled for use as a condiment.
Honey Mushroom
One of the most popular wild mushrooms, this species can be found just about anywhere on the planet where there are trees. Honey mushrooms grow as a clone, and are known to cover hundreds of acres underground, sometimes causing root rot that can spread from tree to tree if not properly controlled.
Blewits are fall mushrooms that usually grow under oak leaves in late September and October in eastern parks and woods.
Cooking uses:
Especially tasty when grilled, blewit caps are solid enough to be stuffed and cooked for an attractive dish.
Silvery Violet Cort
This deceptive mushroom is a poisonous look-alike to the blewit; it has similar coloring and is common in the same oak-populated woods. Look for a cobwebby veil under the cap of a silvery violet cort to distinguish between the two species. While the silvery violet cort does not cause acute poisoning, it can cause kidney damage or failure after continued consumption.
When it comes to mushroom hunting, there are different rules that apply to different public lands. It is illegal to pick anything in America's National Parks, and our National Forests often require permits and limit the amount to be collected. California does not allow collecting in state parks; however, New York does. There is no general rule, and county and city parks vary their regulations. If in doubt, always ask a park ranger.
To ensure you do not pick poisonous mushrooms, use a mushroom field guide, check mushroom websites, or join a mushroom club for safe and enjoyable collecting.
Top tools for mushroom hunting:
1. "National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms" -- to help you identify what you collect and show you where to hunt.
2. Flat-bottomed basket -- to put your mushrooms in.
3. Knife -- for digging up entire mushrooms so they can be identified correctly.
4. Wax paper -- the preferred medium for wrapping up mushrooms. Plastic is the worst, as mushrooms will sweat in plastic.
5. Empty egg carton -- for collecting very small mushrooms so they can be brought home intact and studied later.
6. Paper lunch bags -- for collecting lots of the same kind of mushrooms. Different bags can be used for different mushrooms.
7. Hand lens magnifying glass -- for observing features not easily seen otherwise, such as tiny scales or hairs on mushroom caps.
8. Note cards -- for keeping notes about each collection. The note cards can go with the mushroom into a waxed paper wrap.
9. Sharpie -- for writing in the rain or in cold weather without smearing.
10. Camera -- to photograph what you find. This will help you identify mushrooms, either later by themselves, or by sending the photographs to people in a local mushroom club who can help identify.
11. Mints -- in case you do need to taste a mushroom to identify it, you will want to cleanse your palate after.

Thank You for Supporting "Musical Mentorship!" in 2010
Photo by Bisco Smith.
Dearest Family and Friends,
Urban Art Beat (UAB) would like to sincerely thank you for all of the support you have given our arts programming in 2010. If you have been following our website and/or Facebook page you have seen that we have conducted a number of successful events throughout the Tri-state Area this past year. Last summer UAB led "Song Writing for Social Change" workshops at NYU and at the Center Against Domestic Violence. We began creative collaborations with film maker Sol Tryon and photographer Alexander Richter, Ballroom Basix, and the IERC Education Foundation. In addition to our work in the schools we also performed at a Verizon Conference, the Bowery Poetry Club, and the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, to name just a few.
Photo by Alexander Richter.
These events are always exciting as they involve family members, unite community, and inspire others to express themselves through art. However, the real life-changing work goes on in the classroom. It is there that we connect with students in a way that confirms their very existence. The relationships that form among mentors and students are invaluable. Not only are we increasing their leadership and communication skills by challenging them to take academic and social risks, we are listening and guiding, while creating music and art to share!
Our programs fight NYC's high drop out rates. UAB youth participants frequently ask their mentors about their international travel and college experiences. The youth participants become peer leaders and community advocates. Whether an exchange with Scarsdale, NY, or a book drop at the Kips Bay Bronx Homeless Shelters, our field trips exponentially expand their world knowledge. From Brooklyn, to Westchester, our students experience art as a catalyst for community improvement. The time spent collaborating on a song increases their social, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. Truly inspirational outcomes.
Photo by Alexander Richter.
It is you who make this incredible work possible! Your contributions permit us to offer more workshops to more students in more places! There are many schools that have no art and/or music classes, and so many youngsters who could benefit from weekly "art" time with a dedicated mentor.
With you as a continuing donor, New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) as our fiscal sponsor, and new volunteers becoming mentors every season, our opportunities are unlimited! We at UAB hope you will take a few minutes before the end of the year to help launch us into 2011 with a generous, tax deductible donation. With your support UAB can continue to serve those with the greatest need by expanding our programming to new sites and sharing the gift of creative expression!
We wish you and yours a wonderful and productive 2011!
How to Be a Hero…
1. The easiest way to give? We can receive funds through online donations:http://artspire.org/Artspirelogin.aspx?action=donateNow&pid=A8000
2. Prefer to write a check? Please make it out to our sponsor, NYFA with Urban Art Beat noted in the bottom left as the E.O. (Emerging Organization) Questions for NYFA? Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

3. Spread the word! Pass this on to family and friends before 2011, so that they may also be a hero and get help on their taxes year!
This is how we will use your donation! Never doubt that your contribution (big or small) has made a difference.
$25 = Notebooks and pens for 10 young writers
$50= 1 hour class with an experienced musical mentor

Back to Writing with Pictures
Hi, Heidi
. . . There was a time when there was an
almost universal language in the memorial industry concerning the meaning
of different objects. But now because of untrained people joining the
field the language is lost. So people are creating their own language
of symbols partially because we [monument salespeople] have failed to
give them the key to the symbolism [of the images] that exist. That is,
the tractor is not a tractor as much as a means to summon up the feelings
of the farm and of seeing her husband coming in after all day on the planter.
And each person's imagery is their own. The flowers now are more than
likely what she grew in her garden or liked as a bouquet [rather than
having religious significance]. I suspect that people think using writing
is not getting their money's worth. So they want something like guitar,
windmill, and truck rather than the phrase musician, rancher, and trucker.
As far as intent, I will say that most people actually do state that this monument is for us and it doesn't matter what other people think of it . . . [T]hey can have their own private language; if it makes sense to them then that is as far as the meaning needs to go. Speaking to the generations to come [with religious epitaphs, for example], let alone the general public is not really considered by most people.
--Lou Ann (11/10/2000)

A Strange Disappearance HTML version
"I would say nothing," interrupted he calmly, stooping for the fan she had
dropped. "At an interview which is at once a meeting and a parting, I would give
utterance to nothing which would seem like recrimination. I--"
"Wait," suddenly exclaimed she, reaching out her hand for her fan with a gesture
lofty as it was resolute. "You have spoken a word which demands explanation;
what have I ever done to you that you should speak the word recrimination to
"What? You shook my faith in womankind; you showed me that a woman who
had once told a man she loved him, could so far forget that love as to marry one
she could never respect, for the sake of titles and jewels. You showed me--"
"Hold," said she again, this time without gesture or any movement, save that of
her lips grown pallid as marb!e[sic], "and what did you show me?"
He started, colored profoundly, and for a moment stood before her unmasked of
his stern self-possession. "I beg your pardon," said he, "I take back that word,
It was now her turn to lift her head and survey him. With glance less cool than
his, but fully as deliberate, she looked at his proud head bending before her;
studying his face, line by line, from the stern brow to the closely compressed lips
on which melancholy seemed to have set its everlasting seal, and a change
passed over her countenance. "Holman," said she, with a sudden rush of
tenderness, "if in the times gone by, we both behaved with too much worldly
prudence for it now to be any great pleasure for either of us to look back, is that
any reason why we should mar our whole future by dwelling too long upon what
we are surely still young enough to bury if not forget? I acknowledge that I would
have behaved in a more ideal fashion, if, after I had been forsaken by you, I had
turned my face from society, and let the canker-worm of despair slowly destroy
whatever life and bloom I had left. But I was young, and society had its charms,
so did the prospect of wealth and position, however hollow they may have
proved; you who are the master of both this day, because twelve months ago you
forsook Evelyn Blake, should be the last to reproach me with them. I do not
reproach you; I only say let the past be forgotten--"
"Impossible," exclaimed he, his whole face darkening with an expression I could
not fathom. "What was done at that time cannot be undone. For you and me
there is no future. Yes," he said turning towards her as she made a slight
fluttering move of dissent, "no future; we can bury the past, but we can not
resurrect it. I doubt if you would wish to if we could; as we cannot, of course you
will not desire even to converse upon the subject again. Evelyn I wanted to see
you once, but I do not wish to see you again; will you pardon my plain speaking,
and release me?"
"I will pardon your plain speaking, but--" Her look said she would not release him.
He seemed to understand it so, and smiled, but very bitterly. In another moment
he had bowed and gone, and she had returned to her crowd of adoring

Act One
Verona. A Public Place. Enter Sampson and Gregory, armed with swords and bucklers
sampson. Gregory, o' my word, we 'll not carry coals.
gregory. No, for then we should be colliers.
sampson. I mean, an we be in choler, we 'll draw.
gregory. Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar.
sampson. I strike quickly, being moved.
gregory. But thou art not quickly moved to strike.
sampson. A dog of the house of Montague moves me.
gregory. To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand; therefore, if thou art moved, thou runnest away.
sampson. A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's.
gregory. That shows thee a weak slave; for the weakest goes to the wall.
sampson. 'Tis true; and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push Montague's men from the wall, and thrust his maids to the wall.
gregory. The quarrel is between our masters and us their men.
sampson. 'Tis all one, I will show myself a tyrant: when I have fought with the men, I will be cruel with the maids; I will cut off their heads.
gregory. The heads of the maids?
sampson. Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maiden-heads; take it in what sense thou wilt.
gregory. They must take it in sense that feel it.
sampson. Me they shall feel while I am able to stand; and 'tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh.
gregory. 'Tis well thou art not fish; if thou hadst, thou hadst been poor John. Drawthy tool; here comes two of the house of the Montagues.
Enter Abraham and Balthasar
sampson. My naked weapon is out; quarrel, I will back thee.
gregory. How! turn thy back and run?
sampson. Fear me not.
gregory. No, marry; I fear thee!
sampson. Let us take the law of our sides; let them begin.
gregory. I will frown as I pass by, and let them take it as they list.
sampson. Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them; which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.
abraham. Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
sampson. I do bite my thumb, sir.
abraham. Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
sampson. (Aside to Gregory) Is the law of our side if I say ay?
gregory. (Aside to Sampson) No.
sampson. No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir; but I bite my thumb, sir.
gregory. Do you quarrel, sir?
abraham. Quarrel, sir! no, sir.
sampson. If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you.
abraham. No better.
sampson. Well, sir.
gregory. (Aside to Sampson) Say "better"; here comes one of my master's kinsmen.
sampson. Yes, better, sir.
abraham. You lie.
sampson. Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow. They fight
Enter Benvolio
benvolio. Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.Beats down their swords
Enter Tybalt
tybalt. What! art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.
benvolio. I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword, Or manage it to part these men with me.
tybalt. What! drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!They fight
Enter several persons of both houses, who join the fray; then enter Citizens, with clubs and partisans
citizens. Clubs, bills, and partisans! strike! beat them down! Down with the Capulets! down with Montagues!
Enter Capulet in his gown, and Lady Capulet
capulet. What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!
lady capulet. A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?
capulet. My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, And flourishes his blade in spite of me.
Enter Montague and Lady Montague
montague. Thou villain Capulet! Hold me not; let me go.
lady montague. Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.
Enter Prince with his Train
prince. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel,— Will they not hear? What ho! you men, you beasts, That quench the fire of your pernicious rage With purple fountains issuing from your veins, On pain of torture, from those bloody hands Throw your mis-temper'd weapons to the ground, And hear the sentence of your moved prince. Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word, By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets, And made Verona's ancient citizens Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments, To wield old partisans, in hands as old, Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate. If ever you disturb our streets again Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace. For this time, all the rest depart away: You, Capulet, shall go along with me; And, Montague, come you this afternoon To know our further pleasure in this case, To old Free-town, our common judgment-place. Once more, on pain of death, all men depart. Exeunt all but Montague, Lady Montague, and Benvolio
montague. Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach? Speak, nephew, were you by when it began?
benvolio. Here were the servants of your adversary And yours close fighting ere I did approach: I drew to part them; in the instant came The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepar'd, Which, as he breath'd defiance to my ears, He swung about his head, and cut the winds, Who, nothing hurt withal, hiss'd him in scorn. While we were interchanging thrusts and blows, Came more and more, and fought on part and part, Till the prince came, who parted either part.
lady montague. O! where is Romeo? saw you him to-day? Right glad I am he was not at this fray.
benvolio. Madam, an hour before the worshipp'd sun Peer'd forth the golden window of the east, A troubled mind drave me to walk abroad; Where, underneath the grove of sycamore That westward rooteth from the city's side, So early walking did I see your son: Towards him I made; but he was ware of me, And stole into the covert of the wood: I, measuring his affections by my own, That most are busied when they 're most alone, Pursu'd my humour not pursuing his, And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me.
montague. Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew, Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs: But all so soon as the all-cheering sun Should in the furthest east begin to draw The shady curtains from Aurora's bed, Away from light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night. Black and portentous must this humour prove Unless good counsel may the cause remove.
benvolio. My noble uncle, do you know the cause?
montague. I neither know it nor can learn of him.
benvolio. Have you importun'd him by any means?
montague. Both by myself and many other friends: But he, his own affections' counsellor, Is to himself, I will not say how true, But to himself so secret and so close, So far from sounding and discovery, As is the bud bit with an envious worm, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Or dedicate his beauty to the sun. Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow, We would as willingly give cure as know.
benvolio. See where he comes: so please you, step aside; I'll know his grievance, or be much denied.
montague. I would thou wert so happy by thy stay, To hear true shrift. Come, madam, let's away.Exeunt Montague and Lady
Enter Romeo
benvolio. Good-morrow, cousin.
romeo.Is the day so young?
benvolio. But new struck nine.
romeo.Ay me! sad hours seem long. Was that my father that went hence so fast?
benvolio. It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?
romeo. Not having that, which having, makes them short. benvolio. In love? romeo. Out—
benvolio. Of love?
romeo. Out of her favour, where I am in love.
benvolio. Alas! that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof.
romeo. Alas! that love, whose view is muffled still, Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will. Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Here's much to do with hate, but more with love. Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing! of nothing first create. O heavy lightness! serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou not laugh?
benvolio.No, coz, I rather weep.
romeo. Good heart, at what?
benvolio. At thy good heart's oppression.
romeo. Why, such is love's transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate to have it press'd With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs; Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears: What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall, and a preserving sweet. Farewell, my coz.Going
benvolio.Soft, I will go along; An if you leave me so, you do me wrong.
romeo. Tut! I have lost myself; I am not here; This is not Romeo, he's some other where.
benvolio. Tell me in sadness, who is that you love.
romeo. What! shall I groan and tell thee?
benvolio.Groan! why, no; But sadly tell me who.
romeo. Bid a sick man in sadness make his will; Ah! word ill urg'd to one that is so ill. In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman.
benvolio. I aim'd so near when I suppos'd you lov'd.
romeo. A right good mark-man! And she's fair I love.
benvolio. A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit.

I am in High School, and we used this edition in class, and it was extremely helpful. Not only is it very clear to read, explains well the words you don't know, but it also gives an indepths explanations, on the puns, and etc. which enchances your understanding of the play and your reading experience.
I firmly believe that Romeo and Juliet is something everyone should read in their lifetime. It's a beautiful love story and though, yes, it all happened really quickly, it added to the passion of the whole thing. I will always, always, love this play, and I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a great and tragic love story!
I thought this was a good book, but I needed some explanation on the difficult Shakespearean dialect. I liked the plot and the characters, the only thing was that this story was a legend of sorts that Shakespeare simply wrote down; it wasn't his original idea. Other than that, I thought that it was well done.
Numerated footnotes and explanations on the opposite page made the text easy to follow. My only little complaint is that the tiny font of this series got annoying sometimes. To enlarge it on the nook color, you have to enlarge the page, which becomes bothersome when you have to swipe back-and-forth from one line to the next. All in all, a good version of Romeo and Juliet, whether for the scholar or casual reader.
I read Romeo and Juliet twice; once on my own and once for my freshman English class. It's a little bit hard to understand (make sure you get a copy with footnotes on old language), but an okay story in the end. I love the ending!
The Montagues and the Capulets have had a family feud. Their children, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, fall in love, but their families problems prevent them from being together (although they do get married in secret). The play was very romantic. Even though their families had problems, that did not stop them from being together and their deaths brought the Montagues and Capulets together (it stopped the feud). Even though the events may have happened quickly, it added some excitement to the whole thing. Romeo and Juliet were both so young and so in love that they could not live without each other. They sacrificed their lives for each other. Now that is true love. Although I did sometimes get confused on what the characters were saying the left handed page with translations did help a lot. All in all the love story of Romeo and Juliet is a must read!
Romeo & Juliet is an amazing book. It is a recommended reading for all ages. The love in this book showed me that star-crossed lovers will do anything for happiness. The book itself has many plot twists and surprises. I believe that Romeo & Juliet is an amazing book.
Romeo: Juliet is beautiful. Juliet: Romeo is handsom. That is basically all those two do and I love it.
Superior production of Romeo and Juliet. While entire cast was excellent, the Juliet actress brought new insight into this famous character with her confident yet understated performance. No melodrama, no unnecessary sound effects; the poetry of Shakespeare's language was performed as pure literary entertainment with great intelligence and depth. Looking forward to listening to more plays in the Arkangel series. Highly recommended for ages 17 and up.
Not a huge fan of the size, but the binding is simply beautiful.
This is a time-saver for sure and will spare students a great deal of confusion. The layout is great, will help introduce younger readers to Shakespeare in a way they can relate to. Even Shakespeare veterans will learn a lot through helpful comments in the text (e.g., definitions, performance notes, historical commentary), although the tone is slightly patronizing.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in American Lingo It can't be disputed that there is no substitute for the classic Shakespeare work, Romeo and Juliet. According to the book, Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare made clear by Garamond Press, other versions of this story existed before Shakespeare wrote his, and certainly this story moved through time with other versions . These included the 1957 West Side Story musical stage production and the 1961 film which garnered the Academy Award for best picture. This book offers a wealth of information about the history of the era, the traditions and customs of the times, the previous and post versions of Shakespeare work, a synopsis of the play, summaries of each act, explanations of the way the language was used, and a full translation of every set of lines into the American vernacular. This book is an excellent tool for any student assigned to read this work, and for anyone else who really wants to know what the characters in this story are saying.
I found this guide to Romeo and Juliet to be extremely useful. It eliminates the language barrier of a few hundred years or so and allows for a clear and complete understanding of the play. For me, the layout was most helpful. The old text is broken up into small fragments with the modern translation directly below it, allowing me easy transitions between the two translations. Another benefit is the definitions and explanations offered of words and phrases.
This book caught my attention from the very beginning. It opens with a mini history lesson about Shakespeare, his plays, and the people who acted in and watched his plays. I was able to read this book very quickly because of the way Shakespeare's words are translated into modern English on the same page as the old English. I understand the story a lot more now! This book would be great for someone in school who is studying the story of Romeo and Juliet, and for those of us who have read it and needed a little more help understanding some of the phrases.
Romeo and Juliet: Shakespeare Made Clear carefully breaks down Shakespeare's tragedy into a language that modern readers can understand. It's a helpful read if you've never read Shakespeare before or need a good refresher. The book also provides some interesting information about Shakespearean times.
In providing line-by-line "translations" as well as definitions, this edition of "Romeo and Juliet" thoroughly conveys meaning and context. Regardless of how each individual approaches reading this play, there are many rich attributes in this edition that contribute to a full understanding, including mini introductions to every act; commentary on staging and historical context; and useful summaries and insight.
Garamond Press has a hit. Having updated English next to the old is a huge advantage to the modern reader. This is ideal for students, or for someone who hasn't read Shakespeare or has trouble understanding his antiquated diction. The story of Romeo and Juliet is finally put into our modern love language, and all ages will be able to understand its deeper messages more clearly. Highly recommend.
I have read the story of Romeo and Juliet in the past. Reading this book has given me a whole new understanding. Explaining the language used in a more engaging manner, a historical approach, it helped make the story more comprehensible. This is definitely worth reading if you want to gain a full understanding and get a better feel for that time period.
Your secret weapon to unraveling the meanings behind Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet is now within reach! Sometimes just in reading the written work by itself, we tend to miss so much of the meanings and the references and allusions hidden in between the lines. Without a modern day guide, we are only reaching half our potential for drawing as much as we can from Shakespeare's timeless work. This accompanying guide to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet let's you access the play very easily by presenting the original text side by side with the modern day translations. With everything from explanations of key phrases to decoding olden day colloquialisms, you won't miss a beat with this guide!
I remember my first encounter with Romeo and Juliet and some of the utter confusion that followed! This book has allowed my second reading to be much more comprehensible and fun. I would highly recommend to anyone struggling with the old world language of Romeo and Juliet.
This version of Romeo and Juliet supplies readers with appendices of historical context, dramatic structure, character sketches, and major themes throughout the play. Most helpfully, it provides readers with line-by-line contemporary translations of the text, including explanations of phrases and references particular to Shakespeare's time. If you're someone who has previously struggled with Shakespeare, Shakespeare Made Clear is a great version to read, as it truly does make Shakespeare clear!
What a great idea to have the original Romeo and Juliet and then to include the translation into modern language on the same page. It's been 20 years since I've read Shakespeare and I thought I had a good understanding but this guide provided more insight and enjoyment of this play. If you have school-age kids, get this book. This guide is helpful if you're a student, teacher or parent and you need a little help to understand all the nuances of Shakespeare and Elizabethan English.
Welcome back to school for all you students out there, and non students alike. This comprehensive accompanying guide with scene by scene play, pun indented, and short detailed summary of each act, including 21st centaury translations directly below the character lines for comprehensive understanding, is a true steal for its usefulness as well as that A in class. You will absolutely want to purchase Romeo and Juliet ( Shakespeare Made Clear) published by Garamond Press for a full understanding of the play with absolute ease. This read covers rhyme patterns, character development, as well as topics on the generational growth of the story of Romeo and Juliet. From the story line that pre dates Shakespeare all the way to the mentions of West Side Story. The history included in this story is detailed and informative for such a short read. Any one who has to read this play or is reading just out of pure enjoyment of Shakespeare will get the worth of this cliff notes like book.

This was the adorable white farmhouse where the sale was held. I wanted to move right in! {Photo from Instagram. You can follow me at username courtneymbrowning.}
As I mentioned on July 4, I got the itch to try my hand at a pie. I've never made a pie before, but it just sounded so delicious in this summer heat, and fit right into the all-America feeling of Fourth of July. Below is the recipe I used.
Lattice-Top Blackberry Pie
- 6 cups (1 3/4 pounds) blackberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 disks refrigerated pie dough (one 14-ounce package)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
- 1 large egg
Fit one round of dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Refrigerate while you continue. Cut the remaining piece of dough into approximately eleven 11/4-inch-wide strips.
Spoon the blackberry mixture into the pie shell. Dot the top with the butter. Arrange the dough strips in a lattice pattern on top of the filling and trim the strips close to the edge of the pan; roll up and crimp the edge. Lightly beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush on the top and edge of the pie.
Place the pie on the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake until the filling is bubbling, 45 minutes to 1 hour. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking. Let the pie cool before serving.
Here's the finished product! Not perfect, but totally delicious! It would have been even better with vanilla ice cream, though we didn't have any on hand.
I used these directions for the lattice-top.
God bless my little 50mm lens...it makes me look like I actually know how to do photography : )
I picked up the soft green scale at a flea market we went to after the farmhouse sale. It was covered in dirt and I thought it was going to be a robin's egg blue, but it turned out it's more of a minty aqua green with a cream top. I love the shade and think I'll use it in our bathroom.
Poor Matt had to suffer through my photo shoot before he could get a taste of the pie. He's a very patient husband : )
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
{live beautifully}

An oceanic whitetip shark found on Muriwai Beach this weekend has been embalmed for the Auckland Museum natural sciences collection today.
The 2.5-metre shark, which was pregnant with at least 11 pups, was found washed up on the beach on Saturday. She had six pups and another five had washed away.
The shark and six pups have been kept on ice over the weekend, and the shark was today embalmed in formalin to allow it to be kept in the museum's collection.
Incisions were made along the shark's back on one side to assist with the formalin taking, before it was lowered into a tank of alcohol.
Auckland Museum's Head of Natural Sciences Dr Tom Trnski said the process would allow it to be kept in the museum's collection for hundreds of years and made available to researchers from around the world.
Dr Trnski said he had looked carefully for signs of what caused the shark's death, but couldn't find any evidence of injury, such as being caught in fishing lines, or of complications from birth.
"It may be something that a researcher in the future may be able to find out."
It was unusual to find one in New Zealand waters, particularly at this time of year, as oceanic whitetip sharks are typically found in warmer, tropical seas.
"These sharks also typically prefer off-shore, deep-ocean areas so this is an unexpected find."
Dr Trnski said the shark would be the only oceanic whitetip in a museum in New Zealand, and the mature 150kg female was also the largest recorded in the southern hemisphere.
The pups will also remain in the museum's collection, but have not yet been preserved.
Earlier this year the oceanic whitetip shark was given full protection in New Zealand territorial waters under the Wildlife Act 1953.

Unfortunately, this is the first time we've been able to write in the travelogue because our e-mail access has been EXTREMELY limited. And we've had a few other things to do other than sit in front of a computer. :) But we jumped at the free internet access offered at Community Coffee & Cookie in cute little Mendocino (on the northern coast of California). All we had to do was buy 2 delicious hot chocolates. A fair trade in my book.
It's hard to decide where to begin... So much has happened that it's hard to figure out what to say. And I feel bad that we haven't been able to share any of it with you yet! We've been on the road for 26 days now, and we finally reached the West Coast a few days ago! It was a joyous moment when we got our first official glimpse of the Pacific Ocean last Friday at Olympic National Park. Right before that, we were visiting my wonderful friend Rina in her awesome apartment in Seattle. For the whole first part of the trip we felt like we were working towards getting to Seattle, so it was satisfying when we finally got there. We got to regroup, clean ourselves up, and drumroll please... do laundry!
So now it's like we're on the second leg of our journey, getting to Colorado. It's really scary to think that we'll be applying for jobs at a ski resort and looking for a place to live in a couple of short weeks. So scary that we try not to talk about it. But after that, we'll head off on the third leg - our loop around the southwest.
A big thank you to everyone who has welcomed us into their homes! You have all been extremely hospitable. You don't know how much it means to us to be taken care of in a real home every now and then. (Even though living out of the Element is awesome!)
I guess that's all for now because I've gone WAY over my allotted 15 minutes, plus we have about 5 more hours of driving ahead of us today. We need to get closer to San Francisco since we're meeting Jeanne there tomorrow!! It will be great to mix things up and have a third travel buddy for a few weeks!
Take care and miss you all!
