It's safe to say that the mobile plan market is dominated by the Big 3 – Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. They are all premium telcos, offering all kinds of different mobile plans, broadband plans and entertainment packages. However, after enjoying much success, the Big 3 have experienced a threat – a threat from the underdogs of the telco world. These threats are called Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). They piggyback off the networks of the big boys and quite often offer better value.
Seeing as these MVNOs don't have to provide infrastructure – or in many cases physical stores – their plans can be much better 'bang for buck' than those from the Big 3. Two such mobile carriers to offer superb value are Jeenee Mobile and Telechoice. While they are both great value, they're both a little bit different in terms of what they offer, and how they offer it. Read below to find out who offers what, and whether Jeenee Mobile or TeleChoice is king of the MVNOs.
What do Jeenee and TeleChoice offer?
As low-cost MVNOs, their plans cost anywhere from around $15 to $60 a month. Both providers offer no contract, month to month SIM-only postpaid plans, but TeleChoice also gives you the opportunity to go on a 12-month contract for some extra benefits. In total there are 19 plans between the two providers.
Jeenee uses the Optus Network, while TeleChoice runs off the Telstra Network. Here's a little more background.
- TeleChoice started out as a 'bricks and mortar' phone shop, and then started offering its own plans – there are stores still operating today
- Jeenee has ties with Community Connections Australia – a charity helping the disabled get access to mobile phones – and donates some of its profits to it.
Let's dive in and see what's on offer from the two.
Plans $20 and under
At this low price range, there are five plans that can be had between both TeleChoice and Jeenee Mobile. Jeenee tends to offer the cheapest plans, but what you get included might be proportionally less than what TeleChoice offers. The pick of the Jeenee bunch is the $18 Pennywise plan with unlimited texts, 200 minutes of calling and 2GB of data. The main limitation with this plan is that you are capped at 200 minutes, but 2GB data and unlimited texts at this price point is good value. However, the $10 upfront fee is a bit of a slap in the face.
TeleChoice offers two plans both exactly the same, so you're probably wondering what the difference is. One is on a 12 month contract, while the other one has no contract. TeleChoice seems to reward customers for signing up for the long-term.
- You'll get $1 off your plan per month if you commit to 12-months
- You'll get 2GB of data, unlimited texts and $500 call value
- Calls cost 99c a minute plus 40c flagfall
- You could potentially make over 200 two-minute long phone calls, bringing the total to 400 minutes or more.
Is the extra $1-$2 over Jeenee's plan worth it? We suspect it may be if you need more calling allowances. But decide for yourself.
Plans $30 and under
In this price bracket, expect data allowances over 2GB and drastically-improved call values. TeleChoice in particular offers a much greater range and choice. Again, you are rewarded for committing to 12 months rather than taking the no contract option.
- Committing to 12 months will get you an extra 500MB data on the $28 plan
- $29 on a 12 month contract will get you 3.5GB data and unlimited calls and texts, saving $1 over the no-contract plan
TeleChoice is really ramping up enticements to try and get customers to stick it out for a year. Jeenee, however – while offering only two plans in this segment – comes in strongly. For $25, you'll get 2.5GB and unlimited calls and texts. There's also no $10 set-up fee from here on out. The $30 plan will get you 4GB of data with unlimited calls and texts. We suspect this one is the pick of the bunch as it offers the most data, and no confusing bonuses without a contract.
Plans $40 and under
As we reach the midrange of the market, both Jeenee and TeleChoice have seriously ramped up inclusions like data and international calling. Unlimited national calls and texts are pretty much a given at this point.
Jeenee's plan comes in as the cheapest at $35 a month for 6GB data (2GB bonus), with $300 of international calls. A call to Canada costs 51c a minute for reference. TeleChoice's plans are much the same, but a little dearer. By opting for the 12 month contract you'll get 7GB data, plus 100 international minutes (+ 100 minute bonus). By staying with no contract, you'll get 1GB less and no international bonus minutes. It's hard to beat Jeenee here, because its plan is $3 cheaper and comes with increased data with its bonus, and more international call value (depending on where you call of course!)
Plans $60 and under
As we mosey into the high-end of telco plan town, it's apparent that Jeenee has the strongest showing. However, Jeenee's plans are not as they seem. You might see the data allowances and exclaim "Jiminy Cricket!" You must keep in mind that its Mammoth plans use the Optus 3G Network. While you get lots of data to use, you likely won't get the tip-top speeds that 4G connectivity offers. However, we suspect people in an area with spotty 4G connection will benefit most from these Mammoth plans.
Back to the 4G plans, and TeleChoice only has one plan here, with 11GB of data, and 200 minutes of international calling (+100 minute bonus). This one comes with a 12 month contract, and the other comes with no contract, albeit with less value. This is in direct competition with Jeenee's $45 plan that offers 10GB of data and $300 value for international calls. Irrespective of networks, is that extra $3 for an extra gigabyte worth it? We suspect yes, but you'll be locked into a contract.
At the upper end of the scale, Jeenee offers 15GB of data and $500 value for international calls for $60 a month. If Telechoice ever offers a plan in this price bracket, it will be interesting to see how they can compare to Jeenee. In this price bracket, we're giving the slight edge to Jeenee, however we suspect you'll be just as happy with Telechoice whose Telstra network may offer superior coverage in some areas.
Who offers better value: Jeenee or TeleChoice?
It's safe to say that Jeenee and Telechoice both offer supreme value across many price points in the postpaid mobile world. They are both pretty neck and neck in terms of prices and inclusions – in many cases only their respective networks set them apart. Jeenee is on Optus, and TeleChoice is on Telstra, so you may prefer one over the other. The good news is that you are not compromising much by siding with the MVNO that operates on your preferred network.
However, apart from the budget-end, Jeenee Mobile appears to pull away from its rival in terms of both price and inclusions. There's also a lot more to choose from than with TeleChoice.
What's more is that to compete directly with Jeenee, TeleChoice stunts itself by offering plans on a 12 month contract. Given the way the MVNO world is moving, we suspect contracts are becoming a thing of the past as more people desire a no contract plan. In order for TeleChoice to continue competing, it will have to place more emphasis on maximum flexibility.

Chapter TwoMature
In Sean Raymond's life, days pass. There's nothing magical or holy about time – it's the only thing that's just the same as it ever is. Time won't go quicker, and it won't go slower. For some people, that's a negative thought. They cannot fathom it. There must be a meaning to time, and it must be leading somewhere. But no, to him every minute he lost could have been spent escaping his impetuous style of life. It's just another minute passing. There goes another. What you do with your time is up to you, because nothing is certain, and the only thing you're counting down to is unavoidable death. Sean had to figure things out before time got the better of him. Time will always win the war, but there are hundreds of unwon battles to be fought.
He awoke from a nightmare in a disorientated haze. A warm feeling of relief ran through his limbs as he realised whatever it was he was so afraid of in his mind was all just a story. However he couldn't remember anything of it.
From the seventeenth step and down he could smell an engorging feast had been laid out on the dining table by the cooks, Rosa and Ulga. It dawned on him he'd slept through the day. Well, he was utterly engrossed in that dream.
On entering the dining room, he caught the cooks placing the finishing touches to the table decor, and they welcomed him with a warm glass of milk, sitting him down at his usual seat at the window end of the table. Shortly after he'd settled himself, Louis strolled in with a newspaper under his meaty arm and a disgruntled malaise in his upper lip. Sean watched his father take a seat at the other end of the table, directly opposite him. One by one, the silver covers were lifted from the plates and a new and better Italian dish was revealed.
"Italian for dinner, boys. Enjoy."
The cooks left them to eat as they proceeded with the washing up in the kitchen. At first there was an eerie silence. Louis was chewing his food especially vigorously with his eyes down, only ever glancing up to take a sip of whiskey.
Then the silence was broken, "Nicky's spent the day in a hospital bed today, son. I'm not guessing you've been there with him all day considering you've got these little rectangular sections of your hair that are sticking up like a – a mental patient, and you're, well, you're pretty much wearing their uniform too," he remarked in a snotty reference to his pyjamas.
Biting his tongue, Sean quietly muttered, "I didn't realise the time."
Sean took a good long look straight at his father's face. Louis didn't bother to reply, not even with a curl of his eyebrow or tut of his mouth. He continued to eat, blissfully unaware of the volcanic eruption bubbling inside his son.
"Dad," he paused, "I gotta ask you something."
"Why did you let Nicky get beat up like that?"
"Oh you're angry at me because I didn't get violent?"
"Do I sound angry, am I raising my voice?"
Sean fidgeted, figuring through his thoughts, but nothing was coming up that was good enough. Instead, his father continued to interject.
"He's unconscious, kid. They fucked him up real bad. Okay, so you stood by as it happened, as did Brendon, as did everyone. I'm sure those guys were pretty fucking tough and shit but you didn't even have the decency to go to the hospital with him. That's sick, kid. He's your cousin. You wanna preach at me all day about how I'm so immoral, that violence isn't natural and that I got no feelings – well it was pretty brutal the way you acted in no way supportive to your best friend. That's showing no feelings, Sean. You were emotionless."
An anger boiled like Sean had never felt before. He wasn't used to the pins and needles that ran through him, every electric signal in his body sending out to move but taking all of his strength to defy it. His lip trembled, he could hardly stop blinking.
Suddenly, he kicked his chair back in fury and he yelled in a spiteful tone at the top of his voice, the cooks could hear it all, "Why are you so damn concrete, Pa? Huh? Do you like never loving anyone?"
Louis expected he'd create a reaction. Casually, he joined his son in standing. With both hands in his pockets and a forward tilt in his left shoulder, he looked down at the table, at all the food, and then up again at Sean who by then was red in the face, with embarrassment, with terror and with uncontrollable rage.
His dad began to speak, "You know, Jim Morrison once said -"
"Jim Morrison once said – Jim Morrison once said! I don't give a fuck what Jim Morrison has said to support your beliefs, Dad!"
He continued as intended, unfazed and hard faced, "He said that we fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. I think that's a great quote, kid."
"You're a God damn lunatic, man. You need some fucking help!"
"Oh yeah?"Louis was now fuelled with testosterone, ill tempered and loud, he got close to Sean's face and he shouted, "You're my fucking blood, kid! You are me, you are a part of me, you are just a kid made up of two horrible people. Fucking hallelujah, you hippy!"
Two horrible people. The words spiralled in his mind. He knew that was a lie. Whoever his mother was, she wasn't a horrible person. She couldn't have been, because she's influenced a child without ever being present in his life.
Taking his seat at the head of table again, tucking in to the rest of his meal, Louis sighed and tranquilly expressed, "Did you know you've got Italian ancestors?"
There was no reply, no retort. A strong silence remained. Through a distorted agitation, Sean picked up his chair and carried on finishing his meal. He began shedding light on his situation. He needed to learn when and where he could be himself, just until he had the freedom to run.
After the explosive dinner, Sean had to work the evening shift at the furniture store, meaning he had to spend even longer without visiting Nicky. His family were very passionate about remaining close, and it was like blasphemy for him not to be at his side at all times.
But he cared a lot about his job, and the people he worked for, so he did his duty. And during the shift, one that sees barely anyone enter the shop at all, he met the next obstacle that life had to throw at him.
Jeremy and Helena had a daughter that attended university on a scholarship. She was highly thought of in their books and always on the tip of their tongue. In Sean's opinion, she was a 'show daughter', or so he assumed from what he had heard. But that evening, he met her for the first time. She came tumbling through the open door at around 7:00pm, carrying two black bags and a brown leather chest. For a moment, he had no idea who she was or what she was doing with all that stuff. But after she turned to face him and approached the counter, her youthful glow and unforgettable blue eyes caught him speechless.
"Hi there, I was expecting to see my parents actually. This is kind of awkward. Do you work here?" she said, coyly twisting the tight curls in her brunette hair.
Gaining composure, Sean managed to find the words to reply, "Er yes, I do work here. I work for Jeremy and Helena, are they your folks?"
"You're the boy they always talk about, yeah. Your name is Sean?"
"They talk about me, good things I hope?"
"I don't know, depends on what your opinion of good is."
She had a brutal, thick Southern tone in her feminine voice that she'd clearly picked up from time spent away. Sean envisioned how her summers would be spent on tire swings drinking ice cream sodas and playing seven minutes in Heaven. All the things he thought that good kids got up to, all the things he never knew how to do. But he wasn't entirely far off from her reality.
"My name is Molly, by the way. I'm on a break from studies and I thought I'd come surprise the folks by landing myself in their company for a bit, but this has certainly backfired. Will they be at home?"
"I can't say I know, unless they're hiding out back." Sean admired her physique for a moment, but only for a short while before shaking it off, "I can take your things for you, if you want? I gotta hang out here until eight, then I can drive you to your ma and pa's and be rid of ya, deal?"
"Well, I'm not a nuisance already, am I Sean?" she playfully flirted. Immediately he was attracted to the purity that she radiated, for she was everything he wanted to escape to and know of. He felt a necessity to hold her and protect her and almost instantly assured himself she was going to be his motivation out of there.
They spent the last hour before closing talking about her university and the wonderful people she'd met.

Internet presence is extremely important regardless of whether you are a small enterprise or a big business. Getting on the internet in the form of a website on the World Wide Web will help you and your business reach out to your existing customers as well as get potential new ones. Once you have decided that you're going to set up a website a crucial next step might be to decide on an appropriate domain name. This process is often not an easy one.
The domain name you choose is the one the people are going to see or hear even before they decide on doing business with you or even viewing your website. If your domain name is so long that people have a tough time remembering it then that might put them off even before they get to know you! If your domain name is too short and makes no sense, well that could lead to a similar result as well. Your domain name has to be a depiction of you and your business. It should be neither too long nor too short but just enough to tell your customers a little about what your business is. Furthermore you also want to keep a domain name that may be catchy and easy to remember not only for your customers but for yourself as well. As the owner you would have to log in on a number of occasions and if your domain name is extremely long then that could cause a lot of headache.
There are a wide variety of extensions that are available as well such as .com, .net, etc. The .com extension is one of the most popular ones and is generally well suited for your business. When you are choosing the exact name of the business, it is vital to avoid any famous preexisting trademarks. Make it a conscious effort to make sure that the domain name you choose is entirely yours and is the best possible name for you and your business. If you choose a name that is already really common or an existing trademark then your customers might not appreciate that and this could lead to losses of revenue.
While you are trying to decide on the perfect domain name, be warned. Since there are millions of websites all over the World Wide Web, the chances of finding just the domain name you want are difficult. So it's important to do persevere and continue to look for a domain name that is available. Once you have decided on the domain name it might be worthwhile to go ahead and by a wide variety of extensions for that name so that all or most such domain names are owned by you. If you're someone who's looking to setup a website please visit www.hostingxtreme.com. Hosting Xtreme is a relatively new web hosting company and it has a wide variety of plans that are available for you.
Hope you consider this thing to establish your web site successfully.

Evergreen Content Tips
When marketers talk about evergreen content, they're talking about articles, videos and content that remains relevant as time goes by. Although trends come and go, if content endures, it will continue to attract visitors. However, many internet marketers don't know how to come up with evergreen content. If you want your articles to continue bringing traffic to your site for years to come, follow the tips listed below.
Timeless Content Saves Time
Some article and blog topics are trendy, but others stay relevant. If you are selling a smartphone app, for instance, writing about its current version is important—but that's hard to work into an evergreen piece. You can strike a compromise when you rebrand PLR product into broader pieces on other topics.
Include Advice That Doesn't Go Out of Style
If there's one piece of advice you should follow when making content evergreen, it's that it should be useful as well. Think of subjects that come up every day, such as weight loss, self-help and the like. Remember that valuable content isn't as obvious in these days of viral social media campaigns, and you'll need to find topics that get deeper into the subject, offering graphics, videos and articles.
Don't Put Too Much Focus on the Products
This may seem counterintuitive at first. If you're selling eBooks or other content online, don't you need to describe them and their usage? While that may be true, it's important to include those descriptions alongside content that won't quickly lose its luster. That's why you should write about related subjects, as opposed to the products you're selling.
Combine Social Media Updates With Evergreen Video Content
Sites such as Youtube make it easy for IM pros to promote their self help PLR products with videos, but not many use the medium to create content that's evergreen. These videos can rank high for years after an initial posting, and you can cash in by making a few of your own. Include links to this content on your site, blog and social media pages, so it gets fed into your periodic updates.
Be Patient
For most in the world of internet marketing, results are the most important thing. However, looking at things in the short term leaves you open to ignoring the crucial nature of evergreen content. It doesn't provide an instant payoff the way a video blog or tweet can, but it will gradually draw traffic. If it's read by enough people, your business content PLR may grow in popularity while delivering substantial search results.

After I Saw You, by Yolanda Barker and Leah Pearlman, Dharma Comics video, via elephant journal

Human relationships can be difficult, and our love lives can be messy and intangible.
Sometimes to alleviate the discomfort of not being able to make sense of an experience, we become black and white. But what if we didn't have to look for closure, or book-end our experiences?
What if all romantic encounters were star-crossed? What if "happily ever after" meant making peace with the past?
After I Saw You, by Leah Pearlman
After I saw you I went home and meditated on magic. I sat in the dark and let my heart dart back through the years, tracing curves, and twists and swerves that led to now, and how we each took a different direction That fed us right back into connection. After I saw you I went home And meditated on love. I sat in the dark and let my heart expand so much it broke apart. Seeing you there I was so surprised I could have cried and I think I did but I hid it from you. My body was trembling while my heart was remembering and my mind was assembling the things you say when just there's no way to convey what you feel when you get what you need to help you heal. After I saw you I went home and meditated on gratitude. And I have to hand it to the Powers who knew just whose face would help replace struggle with grace. After I saw you I went home with faith restored The past unmoored And a sense of knowing it's time to move forward. It's time. It's time.

The Prime Minister's drive to send law and order back up the political agenda was expected to be launched in a speech this afternoon.
He was targeting the hardcore of gang leaders, drug dealers, vandals and thieves blamed for a crime wave totalling one million offences.
Police said they need to adopt tough tactics to take on the 0.5 per cent of offenders behind almost one in 10 crimes.
Those on the "most wanted" list may be warned they have been singled out for attention when they leave prison.
CCTV cameras could be erected to monitor their homes and stop intimidation of neighbours who could put them back in jail. Police, probation staff and local authorities must direct the full force of new anti-social behaviour measures at them, Mr Blair is set to say.
Efforts will be focused on an average-of just 15 criminals by each of the 376 partnerships set up to crack crime across England and Wales. Criminal records and probation reports will be used to select them.
A pilot scheme targeting 16 prolific criminals cut their predicted offences by three-quarters from 1,600 to 400. It has saved an estimated £1.9 million in the north Bristol area since April 2002.
Mr Blair's speech to a Local Government Association conference in London this afternoon will come ahead of the introduction of new anti-social measures tomorrow.

This gene is an immediate early gene that encodes a protein related to interferon-gamma. This protein may function as a transcriptional co-activator/repressor that controls the growth and differentiation of specific cell types during embryonic development and tissue regeneration. Mutations in this gene are associated with sensory/motor neuropathy with ataxia. This gene may also be involved in modulating the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis lung disease. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Fort McMurray Students Return Home For Graduation
EDMONTON — Brynne Wood tries on her sparkly, champagne-coloured princess gown and smells a hint of smoke.
The dress was left hanging in an alterations shop in downtown Fort McMurray when a huge wildfire spread into the northern Alberta city in May.
A dry cleaner did the best it could to get the stench out, says Wood, who is excited to be finally walking across the stage this weekend to get her diploma.

Four months after the fire forced more than 80,000 residents to flee and destroyed 2,400 homes and buildings, students in Fort McMurray are preparing to head back for another year of classes.
And many of those who were in Grade 12, and had their final exams waived because of the evacuation, are going back to school to say goodbye.
"I didn't think we'd have grad,'' says Wood, 18, who has since moved to Edmonton where she'll be starting university in two weeks.
Wood returned to her hometown once this summer and was shocked to see several blackened neighbourhoods. Her rental home was left standing among levelled houses.

She had been sitting in social studies class when a voice over the loudspeaker at Westwood Community High School advised everyone to leave because of the fire. She's looking forward to seeing her classmates again for a celebration.
"It will be nice to talk to everyone and know that they're safe.''
Her boyfriend, Cole Graham, pulling on a newly rented suit, says he wants to hear what his friends have been up to in the last four months. He has also moved to Edmonton and says it's worth the four-hour drive back to Fort McMurray for the party.
"We didn't spend 12 years not to have one.''

School officials anticipate most of the city's 600 graduates are planning to attend graduation — both a morning convocation and an evening prom — on Friday for Catholic students and Saturday for those in the public system.
But there are those who have moved elsewhere and those who are too busy settling into dorms and readying for post-secondary classes. Some took part in graduation ceremonies in other cities in June.
Doug Nicholls, superintendent with the Fort McMurray Public School District, says other cities offered to hold an earlier graduation for all displaced students.
"But we felt it was very important for our students and the community at large to have the event right here.''
"We didn't spend 12 years not to have one.''
Soon after the fire, volunteers collected donated dresses and suits for grads who lost their fancy duds in the flames. Money also came in to help pay for this weekend's ceremonies, since there wasn't a lot of time for students to do fundraising, Nicholls says.
He has heard that about 10 to 15 per cent of residents don't plan to return to Fort McMurray this year. That will translate into an approximate five per cent drop in student enrolment when schools open Sept. 6, he says.
He's also had to hire about 15 new staff in the division. Some have resigned, having resettled elsewhere, and others are taking a year's leave.
Four schools in the city — one public, one francophone and two Catholic — are to remain closed until next fall for cleaning and renovations. Other schools are making room for those students, in some cases with additional portable classrooms.
More counsellors are being made available to students, staff and parents to help them adjust to life in the city again, says Nicholls.
"We will have to think of everything from what happens when students want to tell their stories (to) when the first fire drill is held for the year.''

But getting the schools open again — with concerts, clubs and sports teams — should help the whole community regain some normalcy, Nicholls says.
The superintendent of Fort McMurray Catholic Schools, George McGuigan, says some students recently took a good first step by returning to schools to retrieve belongings they left behind during the evacuation. He has seen lots of hugs in hallways.
"That's going to go a long way for us when we do start the first day of school.''

Complete kit (except manifold washers and nuts), had all the other studs, nuts and gaskets. Really good kit-worth every penny

Comments about Dorman - OE Solutions Exhaust Manifold Kit:
Manifold has only been on for a little over a week now. The difference was immediately noticeable. The installation was fairly easy. Use penetrant spray on the nuts and studs before you begin. I did have to grind down an edge that wouldn't fit past the power steering pump bracket, but I could have loosened the belts and bracket to gain access. It was easier to grind off a bit of cast, though. Kit does not come with new nuts and washers to fit it to the engine head. You should replace these. I picked them up, 9 nuts and 9 washers, from a dealership for about 10 bucks.

A Glorious Focal Point - Poem by Paul Mwenelupembe
Little by little it goes
Like a titi bird in the sky
Flying with open wings
yes, they say
In a deep and soft voice
Is an angel
Where is it going?
Now they open their eyes
In a wonderful smile
really awanderful grin
with their lips inside agape
Noses nearly pointing to each other
What? They say
Prescription rescues
The matter of change
and the open window
with some drizzles
on it
So it does slide
where is it going?
Is the green field
of somebody
It closes its wings
Yes, it really smiles
on ends
Poet's Notes about The Poem
Agood future is like abird the flies, agood future needs to have awonderful beginning. So this poem explains how this focal point is driven up to the end of success, and brings wonders to people around you and these people are full of amazements if it goes well.

Well you have made it to your sixth week of pregnancy. By now you are probably past the initial shock of being pregnant. You may be starting to make some plans for your pregnancy. Do you think you will want to have a hospital birth? Will your partner cut the cord? You may be undecided about some things or your feelings may change throughout your pregnancy. Your pregnancy will go by faster than you think and after it's over you may not remember everything. A lot of moms keep track of their pregnancies by keeping a pregnancy journal. In this week's newsletter we are going to give you some creative things to do to keep track of your pregnancy.
What is going on with mom & baby

|Baby: Baby's crown to rump length is 4-6 mm (about the size of a sweet pea). Baby weighs about 0.4 grams. Baby's eyes, ears, lips, tongue, and mouth are forming now. Your baby's brain and cranial nerves are forming. Your baby's heart is beating now. You may be able to see this on an ultrasound now.
Mom: If you haven't had problems with "morning sickness" you may start noticing it this week. Nausea and vomiting are common during the first trimester. You may feel queasy or sick to your stomach during different periods in the day. Your breasts may be very tender right now. Your stomach might feel like it is expanding but you probably won't need to break out the maternity clothes for another month or so.
This week's Pregnancy Checklist
|If you have not scheduled your first prenatal appointment, schedule your appointment this week.
|If you haven't written a list of questions for your first prenatal appointment, do that this week.
|Purchase or check out a library book on pregnancy. There are many to choose from.
|Start setting aside a budget for maternity clothes or ask a friend if she can lend some to you when you need it.
|Write down any baby name ideas you have. You may find these interesting later in your pregnancy.
|Take a picture of your belly so you will be able to remember your pregnancy.
Creative Ways to Capture Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy Scrapbook - Scrapbooking is easy and fun. What better way to keep track of your pregnancy. Take photos of your growing belly, your first maternity outfit, your pregnancy test or any other mementoes. Write down baby name ideas, thoughts and feelings about your baby, and any thing you want to remember. Keep all of these in a scrapbook. You can make a paper scrapbook or design digital scrapbook pages to keep track of your pregnancy.
Pregnancy blog - Start an online pregnancy blog to keep track of your pregnancy. Record milestones such as the day you tested positive, your first prenatal appointment or when you felt your baby kick for the first time.
Pregnancy video journal- Record your pregnancy on video. Take videos of yourself, your partner or family members throughout your pregnancy. You can take videos of putting up your baby's crib, record daddy as he feels baby kick for the first time, or record your feelings after your first ultrasound. At the end of your pregnancy you can burn all your videos to a disc.
Pregnancy recipe collection - This is a lot of fun. Each week find a favorite recipe. Save these recipes with a note for your baby. When your baby gets older you can give him or her the recipe collection

Split boneless chicken in half. If too thick, pound out to make thinner.
In a medium bowl, mix together radish, carrots, bean sprouts, and scallions. Add Szechuan sauce.
In a small bowl, mix together five-spice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Season chicken breasts lightly with rub. Cut the chicken into strips.
In a large skillet over high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side. Add butter and lemon to pan and baste the chicken for another minute. Remove chicken to a platter to let cool. Once cooled, dice or shred the chicken.
Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and the shredded chicken onto each leaf of lettuce. Roll and serve.

Greg Wohead
Veering between reality and simulation, Celebration, Florida orbits around ideas of surrogacy; a stand-in to replace a person you miss, a re-creation of an experience you can't stop thinking about, nostalgia for a place that never existed.
This is a show for anyone who has ever missed anyone or anything.
Greg will speak to you through two performers using pre-recorded audio and headphones. The performers will know almost nothing about the show and they will meet for the first time when they walk on stage.

Mention the Inquisition to any informed person and you're likely to garner a response somewhere between horror and disgust. Kirsch, a prolific writer and documenter of our past (A History of the End of the World; Gods Against the Gods), offers up an amazing recounting of the abuses by clergy and state in those terrible times. Clinical in its descriptions, the narrative's lively and crisp prose brings us right into the torture chamber, shining a much-needed light into the mindset of the church and its representatives. Alarmingly, the author insists that although the Inquisition is but a memory for us today, the inquisitional mindset is alive and well. Kirsch discovers many examples in more modern and familiar history: the Salem witch trials, Hitler's Germany, Roosevelt's placing Japanese-Americans in interment camps and Senator McCarthy's Communist-hunting. All of these injustices, he says, find their root in the same sense of power and privilege. Kirsch's forceful and cautionary account is essential reading for historians and anyone who wants to understand the potential dark side of religion.

Grand Inquisitor's Manual: A History of Terror in the Name of Godby Jonathan Kirsch
"The inquisitorial apparatus that was first invented in the Middle Ages remained in operation for the next six-hundred years, and it has never been wholly dismantled.

"The inquisitorial apparatus that was first invented in the Middle Ages remained in operation for the next six-hundred years, and it has never been wholly dismantled. As we shall see, an unbroken thread links the friar-inquisitors who set up the rack and the pyre in southern France in the early thirteenth century to the torturers and executioners of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia in the mid-twentieth century. Nor does the thread stop at Auschwitz or the Gulag; it can be traced through the Salem witch trials in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era, and even the interrogation cells at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo."
The twelfth century birthed a new and sinister brand of sanctioned terror, an international network of secret police and courts, an army of inquisitors whose sworn duty was to seek out anyone regarded as an enemy, and a casualty list numbering in the tens of thousands. The original agents of the Inquisition—priests and monks, scribes and notaries, attorneys and accountants, torturers and executioners—were deputized by the Church and their worst excesses were excused as the pardonable sins of soldiers engaged in a holy war against heresy that became the obsession of Christendom. Yet the first rumblings of Western civilization's great engine of persecution provided no indication of the ultimate scope and influence of the inquisitorial toolkit and how the crimes of the first inquisitors were perpetrated again and again into the twentieth century and beyond. Despite the importance of this legacy, the history of the Inquisitionremains a subject that has largely been overlooked by general historians.
With The Grand Inquisitor's Manual, national bestselling author Jonathan Kirsch delivers a sweeping and provocative history that explores how the Inquisition was honed to perfection and brought to bear on an ever-widening circle of victims by authoritarians in both church and state for over six hundred years. Ranging from the Knights Templar to the first Protestants, from Joan of Arc to Galileo; from the torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent women during the Witch Craze to its greatest power in Spain after 1492, when the secret tribunals and torture chambers were directed for the first time against Jews and Muslims to the modern war on terror—Kirsch shows us how the Inquisition stands as a universal and ineradicable symbol of the terror that results when absolute power works its corruptions.
The history of the Inquisition is draped in myth and mystery, a favorite theme of both artists and propagandists throughout the six hundred years of its active operations. Yet when we pull aside the veil, what we see are the original blueprints for the machinery of persecution that was invented in the High Middle Ages and applied to human flesh ever since. The Grand Inquisitor's Manual exposes the dangerous circular logic of the Inquisition so that we do not perpetuate its brand of terror.

Chapter One
The Pietà and the Pear
Christendom seemed to have grown delirious and Satan might well smile at the tribute to his power in the endless smoke of the holocaust which bore witness to the triumph of the Almighty.
Henry Charles Lea,
A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages
Let us imagine a traveler arriving in the city of Rome when the Renaissance was in full flower, a pilgrim or a merchant or a diplomat.
He seeks out the chapel near St. Peter's Basilica where the Pietà of Michelangelo is now on display, and he spends a few moments admiring the sublime depiction of the body of the slain Jesus in the lap of his grieving mother. Pietà means "pity," and the scene is rendered with exquisite tenderness and profound compassion. Like Michelangelo's frescoes on the ceiling of the nearby Sistine Chapel—the finger of a very fleshy God touching the finger of an equally fleshy Adam—the Pietà celebrates the beauty, dignity, and grace of the human body and the most exalted emotions of the human heart.
At the very same moment, however, and not far away, hooded men in dungeons lit only by torches—henchmen of what would come to be calledthe Roman and Universal Inquisition—are applying instruments of torture to the naked bodies of men and women whose only crime is to have entertained some thought that the Church regarded as heretical. The victims' cries, faint and distant, reach the ears of the traveler who gazes in prayerful silence at the Pietà, or so we might permit ourselves to imagine. Yet the torturers are wholly without pity, and they work in the sure conviction that the odor of the charred flesh of heretics is "delectable to the Holy Trinity and the Virgin."1
The scene allows us to see the Renaissance and the Inquisition as a pair of opposites, the highest aspirations of human civilization coexisting with its darkest and most destructive impulses at the same time and place. Tragically, the genius that Michelangelo applied to the celebration of the human body is matched by the ingenuity of the grand inquisitors in their crusade to degrade and destroy their fellow human beings. Consider, for example, the contrivance known simply and even charmingly as La Pera—the Pear.
Fashioned out of bronze, richly and fancifully decorated, and cunningly engineered to open and close by the operation of an iron key-and-screw device, the Pear was the handiwork of a skilled artist and craftsman with a vivid imagination and a certain measure of wit. The first examples of the Pear date back to roughly the same era as the Pietà. But unlike the scene depicted in Michelangelo's statuary, the diabolical faces and demonic figures that embellish La Pera are the stuff of nightmares, and the object itself was designed as an instrument of torture to afflict the bodies of accused heretics who refused to confess, whether because they were wholly innocent of the accusation or because they were true believers in their own forbidden faith.
Exactly how the Pear was used to insult and injure its victims is a gruesome topic that we will be compelled to examine in greater detail a bit later. For now, let La Pera serve as a symbol of the willingness, even the eagerness of one human being to inflict pain on a fellow human being. None of us should be surprised, of course, that otherwise ordinary men and women have always been capable of heart-shaking and heartbreaking atrocities, but the fact that a man with the soul of an artist and the hands of a craftsman should apply his gifts to the creation of something as fiendish as the Pear reveals something dire and disturbing about how we use the gifts we have inherited from our distant art and toolmaking ancestors.
An even more sinister irony is at work here. What the men in black did to their victims with such tools was not a crime. To the contrary, when they tortured and killed countless thousands of innocent men, women, and children, they were acting in obedience to—and, quite literally, with the blessing of—the most exalted guardians of law and order. Significantly, the official seal of the Inquisition carried the Latin phrase misericordia et justitia ("Mercy and Justice"), and all the atrocities of the friar-inquisitors were similarly veiled in pieties and legalisms.2
Here begins something new in history, an international network of secret police and secret courts in the service of "Throne and Altar," a bureaucracy whose vast archives amounted to the medieval version of a database, and an army of inquisitors whose sworn duty was to search out anyone and everyone whom a pope or a king regarded as an enemy, sometimes on the flimsiest of evidence and sometimes on no evidence at all except the betrayals and confessions that could be extracted under torture and threat of death. The worst excesses of the agents of the Inquisition—priests and monks, scribes and notaries, attorneys and accountants, torturers and executioners—were excused as the pardonable sins of soldiers engaged in war against a treacherous and deadly enemy.
The strange story of the Inquisition begins in the distant past, but it cannot be safely contained in history books. The inquisitorial apparatus that was first invented in the Middle Ages remained in operation for the next six hundred years, and it has never been wholly dismantled. As we shall see, an unbroken thread links the friar-inquisitors who set up the rack and the pyre in southern France in the early thirteenth century to the torturers and executioners of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia in the midtwentieth century. Nor does the thread stop at Auschwitz or the Gulag; it can be traced through the Salem witch trials in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era, and even the interrogation cells at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo.

Day-Dreams into Strange-Dreams
This is based on my daydreams a few nights ago ... which promptly turned into the weirdest dream I've ever had.
And that's saying something.
So, enjoy. And if it seems weird, well, this is my head we're talking about.
PS - it basically copies everything I've read recently. I know. That's what dreams are like.
