QUOTE: "I try to preach with simple language, not the language of scholars. People are attracted to new preachers like me because they want religious solutions to daily problems, not someone talking to them about the afterlife. … People want to change their lives in the way they are devout. We are in a defining time in Islam, and this will help us open ourselves up to the world." —Mostafa Hosni, a 30-year-old Islamic TV preacher who, along with a new generation of young Muslim "satellite sheiks," are presenting a "moderate" Islam that's less about rules and regulations and more about helping young Muslims deal with real-life problems. Hosni is one of the rising young televangelist celebrities who fill auditoriums and sell their sermons on CDs in both the United States and the Middle East—much to the chagrin of fundamentalist Muslims such as Abu Islam Ahmed Abdullah, a Salafi sheik. "These new preachers are nice and pleasant, but … they are not preaching Islam," Abdullah says. "It's a sham. They are an extension of the Western conspiracy to influence the region. … It doesn't impact the spirit. The girls in their audiences wear veils, but they also wear lipstick and tight clothes. They think they're religious because the modern preachers tell them so. They're deceived." [latimes.com, 12/31/08; nytimes.com, 1/2/09]

A great day around Matterhorn
... just
great fun.
after about 20 minutes I arrived into the wonderful town of Tasch. Here I now
had to leave my bike and catch a train to Zermatt as Zermatt is a no vehicle
walked around Tasch for a while and it sure is prepared for visitors parking as
almost every street has a large car park.
I bought my return train ticket to Zermatt and boarded one of the shuttle
trains. This Matterhorn - Gotthard ...
Its freezing out here
... many sections of road that are literally right on the edge of a cliff. Seeing what the drop is like makes one a bit scared but yesterday in all that mist I never even knew I was on a cliff ;-)
As per usual I am stopping for photos all along the way and due to this I ride without gloves. As my bike is fitted with heated grips and handlebar muffs its generally not too cold without gloves but today by the time I got to Belvedere my hands were frozen and all i wanted was a nice ...
Italian Alps - Last day in Italy
The trip down the other side of Lake Garda was nerve-racking. Many narrow tunnels where we seemed to be scraping the sides at times. Crazy drivers trying to pass in the tunnels. Out of the tunnels the scenery was fantastic but at times I was too nervous to enjoy it as it was gut clenching on the narrow road. Lucky I have a good driver who doesn't seem to get fazed out by the daily challenges he faces on the road. We hit the motor way as we decided that we'd put in a good leg ...
Swiss Adventure: Zermatt
Tuesday, 29th. Another stunning day as we set out with Heidi and her son, Marvin to travel to the magic ake including a breathtaking gondola ride up to Kandersteg at altitude of 1700 metres. A 30 minute hike took us down to the mountain lake Oeschinen. After a light lunch we had a 30 minute walk back up to the Gondola station, where Heidi, Marvin and Greg tried out the luge track. Pretty exciting stuff! Down the gondola and after farewelling Heidi and Marvin we jumped ...

For lunch we had tinned mackerel again, tabbouleh, cheese, and oranges. The lunch is always different. John has taken quite a shine to the Makerel. We stopped for drinks a couple of times, and ice creams at little bars along the track. The last leg up to our ...

Clint Smith coined the phrase" handguns are meant to be comforting, not comfortable". While it's catchy, it's not something I agree with all together. I attempt to carry a full size gun at all times, but let's face it, size and weight can present problems.
On the other hand, when and if the shtf for you, more than likely you will want the biggest, most bullets, gun in your hand. Life is a balancing act.

Almost daily game freezes
In the last week or so I am having more freezes than I have had since I began playing this game back in December of 2011. It is not uncommon now for me to play at night and freeze anywhere from 2-4 times within a few hours span. Funny thing is, its not just me. I thought it was so I deleted my game data utility, redownloaded EVERYTHINGGGGGG!! Sadly, it still happened.
When I say its not just me, it everyone in my party, we all freeze at the same exact time. It usally happens about a second before the ring would show up prior to starting a match, a second or two after you see the ring and it just freezes (you can still hear the music however), or about two seconds after starting a match after taking a few steps. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Re: Almost daily game freezes
Uncharted 3 Co-op Certification Center: Uncharted.VarHyid.com
Re: Almost daily game freezes
Re: Almost daily game freezes
Disk is flawless and I already deleted my game date and reinstalled. But the thing is, its not just me, its many others. I am not the only one freezing, its the entire lobby freezes. Last time it happened, I messaged two of the people who were on the opposite team and they both said they froze. Also the ones in my party along with me froze.
Re: Almost daily game freezes
I think this game is very taxing for the PS3 hardware. That's the root cause, I guess.
And yeah, I experience it sometimes (no white plug though, so it's not network-related).

The Heroic Endurance
I know that the title sucks...Please bear with me and read on. I did not aim for a masterpiece, rather a learning experience through my writings. Feel free to criticize constructively.
Being writers, I am sure each of us would have had the experience of sudden inspiration while reading another author's work. This came to me while reading Job 15 and 16 (from the Bible).
I have often questioned the reason for the suffering of Job, a God fearing, righteous man. Reading these two chapters of his life I realized that the suffering brought out Job's heroism.
The true purpose of his suffering was to prove his integrity and faithfulness to God. But Job thinks that God is angry with him for some reason and that was why he was being punished.
He did not come out of the fire unscathed. He was battered and spoke his share of words - words of despair, hopelessness and pain. He even questions God and curses himself as his pain becomes too much for him to bear.But he was rewarded DOUBLY in the end. Why? Because he endured.
True, that everything except his life was taken away from him. He was left cruelly alive, a lonely man. He cries out against his so called friends "miserable comforters are ye all" (KJV).
But the secret of his endurance lies in the fact that he chose to speak TO God and bang his fists against His chest rather than speaking against Him.

It's a Talking Trash Can?
"Hey you! Yeah, you!" James and company slowly turned towards...nothing. Nothing but a trash can and a dark, suspicious alleyway. Alyson, being the manliest of the bunch, walked over to the trash can, kicked it to the ground with a loud CLANG, and yelled,"WHO'S THERE?!"
"Ow!" cried the disembodied voice. All three teenagers jumped. James, being the wimpiest of the group, jumped into Alyson's manly arms. Alyson promptly dumped him onto the ground and turned to Mia.
"Mia, I think we're being followed," Alyson stated and stepped on top of James to pick up the fallen trash can. Once up, the trash can smiled at her and reached out a hand in an attempt to help James up.
Will Alyson slap the trash can? Will James be crushed by her weight? Will Mia ever have a big part? The world may never know.

As much as you know
sooooo... this is pretty random and more or less a way to like... get random ideas out!!! perhaps at the end.. or middle... it'll be pretty good!!! basically... write whatever you want... i don't care... try to shy away from sexual fantasies... stuff like that... either way!!! write away!!!
As we look across the bleak plain, or plane (take it as you wish), there isn't much in existence. All we see is white, and some gray spots from time to time. Its almost as if this world is waiting to be added to. Oh! something seems to be forming. All we see is a blob right now. We see eyes on it, so it can see the bleakness too! It's almost one of us, but the difference is... It can't control things the way we do. We're the ones who can control its world, its path, its form, and its end. We are the gods. This... is were the story starts.

I'M NOT here to condemn or belittle anyone or any agency but merely share my thoughts and give my opinion on a topic that is affecting a lot of our young Bruneians, which is the issue of unemployment, something that is also affecting a very close friend of mine.
First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude to, and I believe I represent all Bruneians in doing so, the Government of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam for awarding scholarships to students who have performed well in their studies.
It's a very kind gesture of giving an opportunity for Bruneians, who otherwise might never have the financial capacity to study at top universities around the world.
However, the issue that I'd like to highlight here is what happens when these graduates return home.
My friend is a science graduate, from a top 20 UK university, and he has been struggling to find permanent employment for two years now.
As thankful and as proud as he is of his degree, he has told me quite a few times of how having a science degree is kind of pointless in Brunei. And he's not alone, he has got friends and juniors, some of whom I know as well, who are going through the same thing.
As pure science graduates, they have learnt nothing but science and spent countless hours in the lab, but the sad thing is there are not many vacancies available for science related jobs in Brunei. They've told me of how demoralising it is to appear for a written test and fight 60 other applicants for one vacancy.
And due to their courses being highly specialised, they mostly get rejected if they apply for jobs in other fields. Surely, something has to be done about this. I feel sorry for my friend and feel that he and others in his position have been failed by the system.
Surely, the Ministry of Education (MoE) can't keep giving out scholarships to those who want to do a course that doesn't suit Brunei's job market. Scholarships cost tens of thousands and it would be a waste of government money if these graduates can't find a job.
As a wise friend of mine once said, the idea of being unemployed after being given a scholarship negates the idea of awarding the scholarship in the first place.
Can I know if the MoE is still giving out scholarships to those students who want to pursue a science degree? I'm not asking to suspend the scholarship for science subjects. Obviously to those who want to be a teacher, they can still apply for one. But surely better planning must be done before a scholarship is granted to those who are not bound to be teachers.
What I suggest is that the scholarship unit at the MoE look at the future and not just worry about giving out scholarships. Maybe, form a dedicated career service unit whose job is to help plan these students' future. Guide those who want to apply for a scholarship to choose a course that can be of use in Brunei. Because, I still find some students who are naive in thinking that if they study chemistry they will become chemists.
Sadly, that's not how it works in Brunei.
Liaise with government agencies and enquire about possible future vacancies and send a strict number of scholars according to each agency's requirement to ensure that our government won't keep wasting money.
I really don't see the point of sending out scholars overseas when no jobs are available for their qualifications. Is this why the loan system was introduced?

10 Of The Most Powerful Female Characters In Fiction
One of the earliest representations of an individualistic, passionate and complex female character, Jane Eyre knocks our socks off. Though she suffers greatly, she always relies on herself to get back on her feet — no wilting damsel in distress here. As China Miéville wrote, "Charlotte Brontë's heroine towers over those around her, morally, intellectually and aesthetically."
The powerful female protagonist of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series is also one of the strongest women on this list. A world-class computer hacker with a photographic memory, she's also the survivor of an abusive childhood, which makes her a fiercely anti-social heroine with a violent streak.
Chaucer didn't mean to make the Wife of Bath as big a character in The Canterbury Tales as he did. Early drafts show that her role was meant to be much smaller, but Chaucer became enamored of his female creation, and eventually her prologue ended up twice as long as her tale. The Wife of Bath is lewd and lascivious — but behind all the dirty jokes, she's making an argument for female dominance and a woman's right to control her body.
A remarkably independent woman, Janie Crawford's strength is in her ability to keep on going, no matter what her life throws at her, and to uphold her dignity throughout Their Eyes Were Watching God. She challenges the conventions of who should love whom and what leads to a happy life, her experience leading her on a journey towards an acute self-realization.
Though Tolkien's novels aren't exactly known for their female protagonists, who could be more powerful than the woman who killed the Witch-king of Angmar in The Lord of the Rings trilogy? A shieldmaiden who is itching to defend her countrymen from the first minute we see her, Éowyn disguises herself as a man to follow her friends into battle.
In the Harry Potter books, Hermione starts as an insufferable know-it-all, blossoms into a whip-smart beauty who doesn't suffer fools (except Ron), and ends up as the glue that holds the whole operation together. Hermione's steadfastness and sheer intelligence save her two best friends time and time again, and she's the only one of the three never to wholly break down in a crisis.
See the rest here. Who else should be on the list?

Cary, I love this post SO MUCH!ReplyDelete
Mulan has always been my favorite Disney heroine. She didn't sit around whining about needing a prince to rescue her -- she climbed on her horse, kicked Hun ass, and saved China.
I was pleased to see Hester Prynne made the cut. She's rarely considered a strong female character but she really is. Just because she was penalized for claiming her personal power doesn't mean she didn't own it.
And Hermione Granger -- the smart girl saves the day. Again. And again. LOVE!

Jack plotted the downfall of his pretty detective, and smiled. So Megan believed she could go on a date with Keith and have it go uninterrupted. No way, Jack thought. But what could he do? Perhaps send her a spine-tingling note while she was eating. Or even have one of the restaurant employees tell her she had a phone call and he be on the other end of the line. The possibilities were endless. But nothing quite as good as his next idea. His smile grew wider.
"What's that smile all about?" Eris asked, watching the master in the rear view mirror while she drove.
"Just thinking about what I have in store for the lovely Megan."
"And what have you decided?"
"You'll just have to wait and see like everyone else."
* * *
Keith pulled onto the road where the restaurant was, only to find red and blue lights blazing from the top of several police cars.
"I wonder what's going on."
"I have no idea." Megan said as she glanced down at her phone to see if anyone had called her about a homicide. "But whatever it is can not be good if there are this many police cars."
Keith pulled over into the only available parking space, and they both opened their doors and hopped out, meeting the chilly air that had lingered every night for the past week like it always did before the coldest season of the year hit.
Keith ambled over to Megan's side, and saw the look of resignation on her face. They both knew if there was a dead body, that it would be one that Jack had left for her. Especially if Jack knew she was going to be with Keith. He'd always been jealous of the other men in her life.
"Everything will be alright Megan. Trust me. Jack will make a mistake and then we'll have him." Megan nodded, and Keith put his hand to the small of her back to get her moving.
They crossed the road, and headed for a young rookie that looked paler than a vampire who hadn't fed in a couple of days. Megan held her badge up and said, "Megan Handelvar, Psycops. What's happened?"
"Ask the captain." The young cop said, pointing to a fifty-something man who screamed in charge. "He can give you all the grisly details."
"Grisly?" Keith said as they headed in the direction of the uniformed man with dark hair greying at the sides. They passed the rowdy crowd of onlookers who looked on unappreciatively. If at all. As any dead body that had Jack's signature all over it wasn't easy to gaze down on without tossing your cookies. His style of psycho was even worse than that of the well known serial killers. "That really doesn't sound good."
"What did you expect?" Megan asked, her voice betraying her. She felt sorry for the young officer. "He's a rookie scared out of his wits at what is most likely his first homicide."
When they reached the yellow and black DO NOT CROSS tape, they ducked underneath it and came to a halt when they heard a deep, angry voice from someone in front of them.
"Who the hell are you?" The captain demanded as he approached. "And just what do you think you're doing inside my crime scene?"
Megan exhaled in annoyance. Great. This was just what she needed. A crabby captain pissed at her because he thought she was there to take over his big case. She tugged on her badge, sliding it up and over her head, and held it out to the irate man. He snatched it from her hand, and glanced down it loathingly.
"Psycops huh? I didn't call for the spook squad." He told them, first looking at Megan and then Keith with hostility. "And who is the boy wonder with you?"
"Keith Gillette, her amazing psychic sidekick." He held out his hand towards the captain, who chose to ignore it. "So now that we've introduced ourselves, and seeing as we're here what do you have?"
The captain, Charles Davies -- as his badge read -- sighed and then he told them. "It's a body wrapped in linen bandages soaked by blood."

Thanks for helping!
What they serve is technically pizza, but I've made better at home. There are plenty of ingredients, but nothing has a spark. Their crust is tantalizingly thin - it gives you hope - but it is soggy.
This is literally the best Pizza place I have ever been to. It makes the best pizza, plus their soup is really good also.
Excellent local place with a large variety of specialty pizzas and toppings. Grandma regular or vodka sauce topping, various Margaritas with fresh mozzarella, portobello mushrooms instead of canned. Plain and Sicilian are good too
This restaurant always offers an enjoyable experience. The food is well-prepared. The wait staff is hard-working to ensure that the needs of the customer are met. It caters to a busy school crowd during the day, yet still maintains the charm of a lovely sit-down restaurant for lunch and dinner. One of my favorite places in eat when I'm in...
Ive been coming to this restaurant for over a decade, only cause its 3 blocks from my house. The prices aren't cheap and most of the items on the menu is only average. The workers are also not the friendliest. The workers at most other pizzerias are alot more friendly. Its not bad, but i'd rather go to Ginos over...
As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted by staff that greets you with a warm and inviting smile.
My wife and I have eaten there many times and also with one other couple and two other couples. We have also tried there home delivery service. All our friends agree with us about the outstanding quality of...
I would give it a lower grade if the option was provided. Absolutely terrible. Pizza arrived well over an hour after ordered and it was cold. Will never order from this place again. Called the store and they were also very rude on the phone. Save your money and order from another place.
we have been going there for years.
The new menu where in addition to a basic Italian meny you can get GREAT soups, GREAT salads and a GREAT selection of Pannins but............
The wait for the food is intolerable. it doesn't seem to matter if the restaurant is crowded or empty.. the wait is the same and the problem seems...
Met some old friends for dinner. Worked out great as things were quiet, and we ate and drank leisurely, and were able to talk with a noisy atmosphere. Waiter was helpful, and offered us the early bird special although it was a little late. The garlic bread was fabulous, we finished every last crumb! You may order a la carte,...
Great service, and delicious pizza. They have toppings like: ziti, margarita, chicken marsala, and grilled veggie. The only negative is the rude high school students that are often there during early lunch. Wait until 1230.

Laudrup's side will look to overcome the loss next Saturday as they host Everton, who face Newcastle on Monday. Meanwhile Lambert's men will look to take their winning momentum to St Mary's where they face Southampton.
The debut of Benteke had given Villa more options as he was able to effectively pair with Bent and conducted a series of clever link-up play. It was a dream debut for former Genk striker as he was able to deliver a clever finish after a defensive mishap from Swansea.
Swansea City looked promising during the first half but Lambert got his tactics spot on as Villa were able to prevent Laudrup's men from hitting the back of the net. The Swans lost their edge in the second half as Villa improved their creativity going forward.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › Point Reyes National Seashore
Aug 4, 2007 at 9:20 am #1224437
This was a trip of firsts:
– First backpacking trip outside of the mountains…right at sea level!
– First true ultralight trip, base weight of 11.75 pounds
– First solo backpacking trip
– First tarptent experience
– First alcohol stove experience
It's been the forums and articles on BackpackingLight.com that have given me the insight, research, and finally the experience to make a trip like this possible. Thank you goes out to the staff and the entire community for all your knowledge.
It was only one overnight, but it was pretty interesting and lots of fun. Conditions were in the high 70's during the day with 15% humidity, and inthe mid 50's at night with massive fog and 100% humidity.
Gear Highlights:
Gossamer Gear Miniposa
Tarptent Contrail
Western Mountaineering Megalite sleeping bag
Gossamer Gear Nightlight and ThinLight pads
Trail Designs/AGG Caldera Cone stove system
New Balance 907 trailrunners
Patagonia MicroPuff vest
Icebreaker Mako 1/4 Zip
REI Sahara pants
(et multiple cetera, ad infinitum)
What went right is too long to list: tent had no condensation even in fog, the stove was superlative, I was perfectly warm with just a longsleeve shirt and the vest. What went wrong, or could have been better:
– The Icebreaker Mako 1/4 zip L/S shirt was way, way, way too hot for this trip; even with 65° F temps, it was 100% humid in the fog, and the 200g/m wool was too hot and heavy when wet. I hear there's a Superfine 140 1/4 zip L/S coming, which would have been far better (or a Capilene 2 shirt).
– The Miniposa's pad sleeves are not colorfast in certain conditions (verified by the very nice Grant from Gossamer Gear), possibly based on body chemistry or per-unit manufacturing variations. Ruined the back of my shirt rather permanently.
– There are clouds of non-biting gnats on the coast that get in everything: arm hairs, you name it. They are attracted to water, and I had nearly 100 on my wet groundcloth on the back of my pack. Should have packed a headnet, as I had to tie a bandana around my face and put on my sunglasses (7am in dense fog!) to not choke on the buggers. A very short term but insanity inducing problem.
These are really just nits – it was an invaluable experience!Aug 4, 2007 at 10:11 am #1397406

Could you perhaps comment on your experience with the Miniposa? I'm planning on getting one of these and I would love to hear some first hand knowledge. What size torso did you get?Aug 4, 2007 at 10:31 am #1397409
Jessen, I have a medium pack and waist belt (I am 5'11", 160 lbs, 19-20" torso, waist 32"). The Miniposa worked out great, staining issues aside. I actually, in retrospect, might have opted for the Mariposa for with more space for extended trips. However, for an overnight, the pack wasn't full and I didn't need any of the extension collar space. The carry was nice, if a bit on the low side…extremely comfortable, though. I used the included foam inserts on the hip belt and shoulder straps.
I also added hip pockets, which worked great; I wrote about this earlier in the MYOG forum.
I think you'd lose a LOT of usable space if you used a hydration bladder in the inner sleeve, so I opted for water bottles instead. I used a trash compactor bag as a pack liner. My tent was held in the large back mesh pocket.
Even with some careful handling I had some mesh rip out from the outer pockets' elastic mouths, but that was due to water bottle choice on my part. A 1L Gatorade (wide) bottle was a real hassle to extract and return to the lower right pocket, but on day two I switched to a 1L (thin) SmartWater bottle, which was a dream to draw and stow.
Hope this additional detail helps!Aug 4, 2007 at 2:28 pm #1397418

Looks like you went to Coast Camp. Nice hike. Glad your first solo overnighter went well. Mine is at the end of this month at Point Reyes too. Nice pics by the way!!Aug 4, 2007 at 3:25 pm #1397421
Ken, I went to Wildcat Camp, actually, taking a very indirect route. Coast Camp is just a bit farther north and can actually be a bit more sheltered from the wind…I liked Wildcat, the wind helped reduce condensation in the single-walled Contrail! :-) Thanks for the kind words on the pix.
Have a great time when you're up here, yourself (I live in Marin County, 45 minutes away from Point Reyes)!Aug 31, 2007 at 11:30 pm #1400710

I hate camping at the two sites in PR– unless you go in the winter, they are always packed with obnxious peeps. I like camping on the top of Alamere Falls on the south side or on the bluffs up north.
I always try to get out there once a year — usually in the winter or early spring.
You should try coming down to Big Sur. But there is nothing here like the Coast Trail section, where you are just on the bluffs looking out. Well, okay Lost Coast, but thats a long drive…
Yeah. I think I am going to get the miniposa too. Did the backmesh stain? Did you have the torsolite in?Dec 12, 2007 at 10:13 pm #1412345

Many of the details about the familys day-to-day survival are compelling, but its hard to muster much sympathy for Kennedy. After all, the books title, Without a Net, is not quite accurate. Kennedy actually does have a safety net: She has parents who care about her and who live 40 miles away. She could have picked up the phone, told them she was sleeping in her car, and asked for help, but insteaddriven by a mixture of stubbornness and prideshe decided to persevere on her own.
Kennedy calls herself the queen of bad judgment, an assertion thats hard to contest. She married her high school boyfriend, dropped out of American University, had three babies in quick succession, ran up her credit card debt, then followed her husband to Maine. The husband turned out to be a loser, and when she left him, her station wagon became her temporary home.
The title suggests a book packed with insights about what it means to be middle class and homeless, but Kennedy doesnt deliver, in part because she writes narrowly about her own experiences. Theres no exploration of the myriad reasonsdomestic abuse, drug addiction, a sick child and no health insurancewhy educated young people can, and do, end up homeless. And while Kennedy touches briefly on the failure of the social safety net when she describes trying to qualify for Section 8the federal program that provides housing vouchers to low-income peopleshe offers no context about the cuts to this program that have exacerbated the nations housing crisis.
Kennedys perseverance in saving money and finally finding a home for her family is impressive. In the end, though, Without a Net is less a meditation on homelessness than a first-person memoir about the steep cost of bad decisions.

text: (2) See recent report from Global Hunter Securities on April 7, 2011, where Joe Giamichael (an analyst who follows the Company) wrote: "We would encourage the company to concentrate on enhancing shareholder value by initiating a cash dividend. Exceed currently has US$115 million in existing cash and was able to generate over US$80 million in operating cash flow in 2010. Given the asset-light model, the company is able to show material operating leverage which translates into significant earnings growth and cash generation. The stock currently trades at about a 60% discount to domestic-listed peers and about 75% to US-listed athletic wear companies, nearly all of which pay dividends from operating cash flows that generate a meaningful yield for investors. We believe that the company is well positioned financially to follow its peers in this practice and would encourage the company to do so. We also believe that if the company were to implement a dividend policy it could do so with no disruption to future growth or development plans. In doing so, investors should be willing to give the stock multiple expansion as it begins to emulate the capital markets strategies of its significantly higher valued peers. Additionally, the company positions itself to a broader investor base, one that seeks yield in addition to value and growth."SOURCE Arnaud Ajdler

It's no secret that many of my books have been in set the same town and even in the same high school — Brookdale, Maryland, a fictitious town in the fictitious Lowe County — with some recurring background characters and bits of "business" shared between them.
But there's more to Brookdale than just the novels. I originally invented Brookdale for a series of short stories I was writing. These were not YA stories per se, though they all involved — to some degree — something that happened to the protagonists as teens or children. Since I had already been thinking about Brookdale, it made sense to use that setting for my first book…and then I just kept using it!
In Boy Toy, we got to see a little more of Brookdale than we did in the first book, including SAMMPark, a municipal park named for Susan Ann Marchetti. This park also plays a role in Hero-Type.
Thing is, I knew why SAMMPark even existed at all. It had its roots in a story I had written a few years before my first novel was ever written, much less published. I thought that readers might be interested in seeing that original story and learning how a young woman named Susan Ann Marchetti ended up becoming the "patron saint" of Brookdale.
If you've read Boy Toy and Hero-Type, this story may give you a little more insight into things going on in the background of both stories. In any event, I hope you enjoy it!
(Oh, and BTW — if you've read The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl, you may already know the last name "Marchetti." And a character from that book has a small appearance in "Her Decade" — see if you can spot him.)

Iris: One of a Dying RaceMature
I stretched my arms and wings, and flew out into the morning air.
Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself. I am Iris, one of the only Angels who haven't fallen or have been killed. I have large, white wings, blue black eyes, curly golden hair, and glowing pale skin.
I am one of a dying race. I was around when the humans became extinct. I have been frozen in time since my sixteenth birthday.
My friend, Rose, understood me, as the only human left on earth, and me being the only Angel on this side of the equater. There were thirteen others, somewhere in the world.

The Obesogen Hypothesis of Obesity: Overview and Human Evidence

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Obesity, like all complex diseases, is believed to have both a genetic and an environmental component. Data supporting an important role for environment in obesity come from the recent rise in the incidence of obesity over the past few decades. This review will present a new hypothesis for the etiology of obesity: the obesogen hypothesis. This emerging hypothesis states that susceptibility to develop obesity is due to exposure to environmental chemicals during development in utero and the first few years of life. Proof of principle for this hypothesis comes from smoking during pregnancy, which results in increased weight gain in children. There are examples using animal models for developmental exposures to chemicals with estrogenic activity [diethylstilbestrol, genistein (soy phytoestrogen) and bisphenol A (polycarbonate), tributyltin (a component of PVC)] and several pesticides resulting in increased weight gain later in life. An important aspect of the obesogen hypothesis is that obesity due to environmental exposure can be prevented by reducing exposure. Thus, this new hypothesis changes the focus from treatment to prevention of obesity.

Whitewashing stained wood softens and lightens the base color of the furniture, creating a unique-to-you finish instead of the classic sheer white of painted bare wood. Before you start, remove the clear protective topcoat, so the whitewash adheres. This has no effect on the stain, but it ensures your end-finish is durable and even. Use one of two ways to whitewash wood: Apply a liming wax or diluted latex paint. No matter which method you choose, the resulting color will be a softer, lighter version of the original stain.
Work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves throughout the entire process, from stripping to applying the protective finish. Put on a face mask if you're sensitive to fumes, and dress in old clothes; chemicals, liming wax and paint will ruin your favorite jeans.
Prepping the Furniture
Things You'll Need
- 220-grit sandpaper
- Tack cloth
- Lint-free cloths
- Bronze brush (optional)
- Wood conditioner
- Mineral spirits
Hand-sand the furniture with 220-grit sandpaper to remove any residue left behind by the stripper and smooth out the finish. Don't attempt to make the wood feel like silk – a slightly uneven texture complements whitewash. Wipe everything down with a tack cloth or damp towel. If you plan to use liming wax, first brush the wood with a bronze brush to open up the pores, so the wax can penetrate the surface.
Always sand and brush with the grain, not against it.
Most wood species respond well to liming wax or diluted paint for whitewashing, so you can choose any kind, but some require special care. Pine, cedar, redwood and fir, even when stained, tend to absorb liming wax and diluted paint unevenly. After sanding and prior to whitewashing, apply a wood conditioner according to the manufacturer's directions. Another issue is seeping sap and residue, common with outdoor furniture made from cypress. Wipe the furniture down with mineral spirits just before whitewashing.
Whitewashing: Wax or Paint
In the past, whitewashing was done with lime, chalk and water; liming, a mix of just lime and water, was also used. But because lime is caustic, take advantage of modern, safer options: Liming wax or diluted latex paint.
Liming Wax
Things You'll Need
- Cheesecloth
- Lint-free rag
- Liming wax
- Ultra-fine steel wool
- Paste wax
- Finishing oil (optional)
This modern alternative to a classic whitewashing solution gives an authentic look and feel, and it works best for furniture such as dressers, buffet tables and bookcases. Although the results provide a solid, stunning finish, waxes aren't ideal for well-used tables and chairs or anything used outdoors.
Step 1
Fold a piece of cheesecloth or a lint-free cloth over several times. Scoop some liming wax and work it into the furniture using circular motions and going with the grain of the wood. Your goal is to work the wax deep into the wood, not just apply it to the surface. The wax blends easily, so you don't have to worry about delineation between areas.
Step 2
Remove any excess wax with ultra-fine steel wool, buffing with the grain of the wood. Don't use a lot of pressure – just skim the surface until the finish is even.
Step 3
Wait the amount of time recommended by the liming wax manufacturer and then apply plain paste wax as a protective topcoat. Apply at least two coats, buffing off excess between coats with ultra-fine steel wool.
Be gentle with the furniture, and keep heavy, hot or wet objects off of it for at least 30 days so the wax can cure.
Diluted Paint or Primer
Things You'll Need
- White latex paint
- Scrap wood
- Plastic container
- Stir sticks
- Paintbrush
- Sponges
- Polyurethane
- 320-grit sandpaper (optional)
This relatively easy whitewashing technique is perfect for furniture that gets a lot of traffic. If you're finishing outdoor furniture, use exterior, water-based paint and polyurethane.
Step 1
Dilute white latex paint with equal parts water in a plastic container, stirring well to combine. Opt for distilled water if possible.
Step 2
Brush the whitewashing solution on the furniture using long, even strokes, starting with just one horizontal or vertical surface; i.e., the face of one drawer or the top of a table. Immediately wipe off the excess with a damp sponge.
Step 3
Keep repeating this process, moving from section to section, until everything is covered. Let this dry and apply another coat if desired.
Step 4
Apply two to three coats of matte or satin polyurethane. For an ultra-smooth finish, lightly sand with 320-grit sandpaper between each coat, wiping off the dust before applying the next.
