Rita's Bar & Dining
Posted by Lee Goldup on January 08, 2014
Hypebeast Eats recently spoke to Rita's Bar & Dining about their new spot on Mare Street in Hackney, East London. After their pop-up at Birthdays in Dalston gained such high popularity last year, it's great to see them have their own place with a larger menu. They now take reservation online (www.ritasbaranddining.com) so you can avoid the large queues that often occurred at Birthdays.
Be sure to check them out if you're in the area.

ROCKPORT, (100 alt.; Rockport Town, 1,651 pop.), a town with a diminishing population, was set off from Camden in1891. From the bridge at the S. end of the village is a remarkable view of the harbor and the white lighthouse jutting out on the point.Goose River forms a V-shaped waterfront that has been landscaped by Mrs. Mary Louise Bok (see above). Unusually interesting are the OLD LIME KILNS nearby.SPITE HOUSE (L), on Deadman's Point, was moved in 1925 over land and water from Phippsburg, 85 miles away, by Donald W.Dodge of Philadelphia. James McCobb, a prominent Phippsburg citizen of his time, built the so-called Minott House in Phippsburg for his second wife. Some time after his third marriage, the elder McGobb died while his son Thomas was at sea. The third Mrs.McGobb, who had also been previously married, arranged a mar- riage between her son by her first husband and her stepdaughter, the sister of Thomas McCobb, thereby obtaining practical control of one of the largest estates in the section. When Thomas McCobb returned and learned of the marriage and its consequences, he became incensed, declared he would build himself a mansion large enough and sufficiently grand to overshadow the residence occupied by his stepmother, and in 1806 built this beautiful structure which,from the day of its completion, has borne its present name.

Dieser große Familienurlaub in der Nähe von allen Annehmlichkeiten von Sleepy Hollow Lake und die Besitzer bieten Kajaks, Fahrräder und vieles mehr !!!
In einer ruhigen Sackgasse auf einem Waldgrundstück mit einem saisonalen Strom im hinteren, ist dieses Haus warm und einladend mit großer Küche und Wohnzimmer, in Veranda, 3 Schlafzimmer auf der Hauptebene und 1. 5 Bäder, die untere Ebene Familienzimmer fertig mit 2 Sätzen Etagenbetten, in voller Größe Bett, TV, Spiele und vieles mehr, ideal für Kinder jeden Alters.
We really enjoyed our stay and it was great for little kids as it was pretty bare with lots of space to play. There were small things that were a bit frustrating. Upon arrival there was no hand soap, or dish soap. There were no serving dishes or Tupperware storage. No hair dryer. Small things that at every other VRBO we have stayed in had these amenities. For the money I wish the house was a bit more stocked. We cooked a lot, but had a hard time and had to makeshift. There were no big bowls for salad or to make pancake batter etc... We had to buy bowls and Tupperware. The pool and lake access was 1/2 mile, but a fine walk. Big kids could ride bikes or walk and my little ones went in the stroller. Pat was very responsive and happy to help us with any questions. What I found odd is there are two huge porches and an umbrella for an outdoor table, but no table. It was very hot when we were there and it would have been nice to eat outside. Overall
I would stay here again, but for a lower price. For the price I expected more amenities in the house.
We had an awesome time at this house ! It was really clean and had a lot of fun things like the pool table and ping pong table !! We will be returning next year for sure !!!
Very nice house. Working with owner was very easy. Would recommend.
Fantastic house in a lake community with kayaks, pool and tennis court access, and plenty to do at the house in evenings or if weather were to turn bad. Pat was incredibly accomodating on check-in, check-out and responsive to questions throughout the whole process. Great experience overall and would look to stay again for a relaxing weekend away from the city.

Newby Needs Help!
Decorating By Jeffsgal Updated 7 Oct 2007 , 8:55am by Charmaine49
I'm a self professed newby in search of help. I love whimsy cakes using what looks like fondant or gum paste balls on the end of spiraled wire. Big question.... what kind of wire is being used? I want to try this for a Mothers Day cake. Big thanks in advance!
Welcome to cc this place is an amazing source of info and help.
to answer your question I believe floral wire is used.
I am not sure, since I have never done one. I figure it is probably floral wire. Just wanted to welcome you to CC. I am still a beginner and have learned a lot from this site. The warning about it being addictive is true. I am on here every free moment I have. Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to answer your question.
It is floral wire but there is an issue with rust. Tip your wire in fondant (however much is going into your cake). Or slide a piece of straw into the cake and then put your wire in that. You dont eat the straw or the "tube" of cake in the straw so it's safe.
Welcome to CC! And welcome to your New Addiction!
I was told that the wires could be wrapped in florist tape, then inserted safely into the cake. Please correct me if this is wrong!
Inserting Wire in Cakes:
Welcome to CC! I use floral wire, though before I had access to that I used colored paper clips that I bent to the way i wanted. Those were kinda cute. You do wanna make sure that you use a straw in the cake to support the wire so it doesn't tear through the cake. Kinda like a hidden vase for the wire.
OK. I'm hooked!! Thanks to everyone for your quick responses! With this kind of support you can't fail.
So glad I came across this thread today as I have got an order for the Tink cake from the new 2008 Wilton Book for the end of this month and there
are wires that have to be inserted into the cake.
Thanks guys, you learn something new everyday!!
You can always rely on CC to help you on your way.

Beacon Journal staff writer
Highland Middle School was evacuated Monday morning after a teacher noticed smoke in the showers of the boys' locker room at the east gym about 8:20 a.m.
The staff evacuated the school's 820 sixth- through eighth-graders safely from the Granger Township building and over to the high school nearby.
Most parents picked up their children, and the few remaining students spent the rest of the day in study hall and rode school buses home.
Firefighters haven't said what started the fire, district communications director Dawn Marzano said.
She said there is smoke and fire damage to the gym, locker room, parts of a hallway and a few classrooms.
The Granger Township Fire Department and several other departments responded. The state fire marshal also is investi
The staff was allowed inside the building briefly to collect purses and keys, Marzano said. Otherwise, the fire marshal did not allow anyone to return to the building on Monday to retrieve personal items.
Marzano said classes are canceled for today and possibly longer.
''We're hopeful that they'll be back on Wednesday, but we can't say for sure,'' Marzano said.
Superintendent Catherine Aukerman told the Highland school board Monday night that the fire started in the shower area of the locker room and was contained to that area.
She said crews would work around the clock to remove soot from throughout the building and repair the gym.
Firefighters cut three small holes in the roof that need to be repaired and ceiling tiles must be replaced in the hallway outside the gym and in a nearby music room.

If noisy and thumping audio is what brings you instantly, you will absolutely love to have precisely the same in your automobile. You are able to get sound that is incredible with bass by adding auto subwoofers beating loud all around. Let's find the best way out to buy sub woofers for the car without any compromise in price and quality. Matters to be contemplated:
What kind of songs do you enjoy?
This really is going to be really important when you are selecting you are best subwoofer for car, because auto subwoofers' methods are different determined by the type of songs you listen to. Youwill also need to alter the housing you utilize, determined by the sort of songs you like best.
Plan your system
Sound ordinances in your neighborhood apart, you will need to determine what you want your own system to do. If you enjoy hearing levels that are low with tasteful, delightful hues, that is one go. That's another if you want your bass to be noticed three doorways down. Do you want ear shattering seem, where do you need mo Re equilibrium? Answering these queries can help you program your system, which may determine the sort of car subwoofer you get.
What kind of housing have you been heading to need?
The most straightforward sort of enclosure is a free-air method or infinite baffle. This layout is straightforward, space saving, and also rather inexpensive, because it doesn't have a carton kind enclosure.
Carton systems may also be a choice, with the simplest type the enclosure that is covered. Seem for with it is closed in a carton with both back waves and the front. This really is simple to construct, and does not take up much space, but it's less efficient than more expensive vented enclosures.
Variety of Subwoofers
There is a broad range of subwoofers obtainable in the market. You need to decide the one that suits your taste. You can choose a driven or an unaggressive woofer. Run sub-woofers have a built in amplifier and thus it may produce a seem that is better as compared to a inactive ones-which are powered by the car amplifiers. You can find auto woofers in many sizes for 12 inches, 10, instance 8 and so forth. The dimensions can be chosen by you according to the arrangement of the subwoofer and your preference. Also you should check in case the best car subwoofer brands are fit with the car stereo system to offer the best output signal. Also remember the sort of enclosures and the encircles you pick for the sub-woofers.
Best spot to purchase
Best location to purchase automobile woofers is from a location that markets merchandises that are associated and car stereo. It's possible for you to locate these in a web portal or a store that markets merchandise such as for instance car subwoofers, car amps, automobile stereo methods and so on. If you plan to purchase from an internet store, check the explanation of the amplifier carefully. Dependant on the budget you've got set aside for your best car speakers you are able to go in for cheap car sub woofers or the ones that are high in quality. You decide so and can examine the costs of different brands of electronic system available online. Ensure that you buy from a trusted vendor in order to avoid any inconvenience latter on.
Trust that all the above insights can help you find the best program for your auto. You've got installed new woofers in your automobile. S O, beat a way in the music that is blinking beats.

Lights Out: Part ThreeMature
Kevyn walked out of another house, the fourth one that Bethel had taken her to. This one was too new, too full of human, just like the others. It needed to be older and full of other memories, not the ones of the happy family that used to live in it. Kevyn shuddered involuntarily. She had to find a house here. That was the first step.
"Well, I'm sorry that this one isn't what you want," Bethel said as she looked up at the white wraparound porch and the pale brick house. "Anyone else would die for this house."
"I'm sorry," Kevyn said automatically, Bethel's heartbeat loud in her ears, slightly uneven from being out of shape. "Are there any others here for sale?"
Bethel turned away from the manicured lawn and sighed. "Yeah, there's just one more. But you won't like that one. It's the oldest house in the whole town, and no one wants to live there after what happened in that house. It's just so empty now, but it used to be so full of life."
"What happened there?" Kevyn asked, hope prickling beneath her skin.
"Ain't no harm in telling you seeing as how you probably won't want it," Bethel said. "But it used to belong to the Jefferson family, about fifty years ago. No one's completely sure about what happened that night, but the best story is that on the last night, the phone would ring every hour on the hour, and footsteps would walk around the house, and shadows would creep around. Then, at midnight, everyone in the house woke up to someone screaming. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson ran around the house to see what it was, but it stopped as soon as they got to Tracey's, their youngest daughter, room. Mr. Jefferson pushed open the door and looked in, and this shadow was bent over Tracey, and sucking something out of her. Mrs. Jefferson fainted dead away, thinking the thing was sucking her blood. But it wasn't, because blood is red and don't get sucked out of a body from the mouth. And the thing's mouth was a few inches above Tracey's, sucking out something pale icy blue-white and glowing. Suddenly, the thing stopped sucking and Tracey fell back on her bed, dead as a doornail. Then it turned and done the same thing to the rest of the family. Don't nobody know what it was, but that's how it happened. And nobody likes to talk about it anyhow. We're just a small town, and we don't like strange things happening in here," Bethel said, shivering at the gruesome tale.
Kevyn nodded. She'd seen the story play out in Bethel's mind, the vivid pictures giving her chills. Kevyn remembered that night. She hadn't done it, but she knew who had. The night that she had survived, a male named Asher had come back bragging of how he'd only taken the soul, not the blood, from a family. Taking only the soul took control and strength that not many had, he'd bragged loudly over the rest of the starving coven. The current coven "leader," Dakota, had been furious with him. Kevyn remembered watching Dakota yell at Asher, seeing her beat Asher and threaten to do the same to him. We can't kill whole families at a time, Dakota had yelled. That's how we get discovered. It's one life at a time, and only those who won't be missed. For now, Dakota promised.
Kevyn had been among those who'd scoffed that night. Dakota was constantly promising things that would never happen because Dakota didn't know how to live properly. Dakota was recently turned, a mistake. Her creator, the old leader, Henry, had been killed by another human while feeding on her and Dakota was changed instead of killed. Dakota still hung onto her humanity, no matter what. Kevyn licked her lips, remembering how she and Asher had teamed up to kill Dakota that night. Dakota's soul had been sweet with terror, and her blood hot and thick. Then the thunder had begun, and the sky rained fire.
"So do you want to go see the Jefferson house or just put up in a motel for a few days?" Bethel repeated, jerking Kevyn back to today.
"No, I'll find it myself, thank you. How much is it?" Kevyn asked, her voice thick with the memory of that night, her pupils beginning to dilate with sudden hunger.
"You want to buy the house without seeing it and knowing what happened there?" Bethel asked incredulously. "You got some nerve, Kevyn."
Kevyn nodded. "The Jefferson house is the house I want, I'm sure. Like I said at the café, price doesn't matter to me."
Bethel nodded. "Well, we can work out a payment plan later, but total, the house is two hundred thousand dollars."
Kevyn reached into the black satchel hung over her shoulder and pulled out a wad of bills, knowing it was right without looking. "Don't worry about the payment plan, this is all of it."
Bethel's jaw dropped. "You must come from a good family if you got that much money on you," she said, in shock. "Well, if that's all, then I'll just be…"
"You can leave," Kevyn said quickly, dismissing her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, and if you need anything else…" Bethel began.
"I won't," Kevyn called over her shoulder as she began quickly walking down the street. The memory of that night and the faint sweet smell, like roses, guiding her to the Jefferson house.
Bethel stood there in the street, staring at the money in her hand. "If I'd have known that she had that much cash on her, I would've charged more for the house!"

New digital technologies and processes are changing the way we plan, design and build our infrastructure.
If you're wondering what civil engineering is, we're here to tell you the story
We'd love to know what you think about our web site.
Giving us your feedback helps us know how we can improve your future experience of the site, and which areas of the site we need to focus our efforts on.
Bold change efforts are required to meet sustainable practice in the water sector, write Charles Ainger and Dick Fenner – editors of new ICE Publishing book, Sustainable Water
The water sector in the UK (and in many other developed countries) is a bit like a swan swimming on a fast moving stream. On the surface, it is capable and looks serene, so we take its presence and capability for granted. But underneath, out of sight, it is paddling away like mad, just to stay in the same place.
Keeping up requires serving more customers, with better service, and doing more to keep increasing sets of expensive assets maintained and efficient. Coping with the future – which is already with us – adds huge challenges: climate change driving increased asset and domestic sewage flooding, and less raw water to abstract, and how to reduce energy use and carbon emissions; and how to increase resource recovery, and remove new and difficult chemicals.
And, we must meet all these under the steady pressure of limited affordability. As economies have slowed and inequality increased, many customers can no longer afford to pay for us to just build our way out of trouble. So water organisations' journey to sustainability – continuing to deliver an effective and reliable water and wastewater service despite all these disruptive challenges – is hard, but vital. It requires continuous and dramatic innovation.
Although new technology is a key part of this, the innovation we need involves much more, for instance:
The water sector is seen as bad at innovation – slow, because of long-lived assets; and risk averse, because of public health responsibilities and exposure to public scrutiny. However, our experience is that some developments are helping innovation, such as outcomes-based regulation and partnered programme supply chain procurement. Also, many brave project teams have indeed translated new ideas into first full scale projects – this usually as an exception, done outside the "system".
Our real innovation failure is in the next step – being much too slow in spreading successful new experience, starting with a "first follower"3 project. This validates it into something that is then applied much more widely, and becomes embedded in the system, as universal standard practice.
As an example, in 2006 Helsinki implemented a first large scale extraction of heat recovery from sewage effluent; it was publicised in a 2008 article4. We picked this up and immediately included it in conference presentations. In 2011-12 we got the idea tested as a "what-if" study for the UK situation, in a Masters dissertation; and published5. Finally, in early 2016 we read of the first extraction of heat from sewage in UK6.
Must it take 10 years? Can't we do it faster? Engineers look for "evidence", so early, authoritative reporting of first-use "demonstrators" are vital to faster spreading of new practice. But unlike academics, practitioners have little time and no incentive to publish such accounts. So, much academic material is written about sustainability in many aspects of water, but much less that approaches it from the time-limited, output-driven perspective of the practical engineer/practitioner.
Our new book, Sustainable Water, aims to help cross that "knowledge gap". It applies a common set of sustainability principles to water sector practice, and combines this with practical experience and a practical style. Several chapters have been written by authors who are specialists in their respective fields, with a wide range of innovative examples.
Further, most successful implementation of "first use of the idea" projects have involved significant and often clever "change" efforts in getting past the barriers to innovation. If anyone else is to take up the idea, they need to hear the story of not just the what of the new practice, but also an explanation of how it was accepted. The book addresses this through its Part III on "change".
Some of this may seem hard to do, but there are many opportunities. "Sustainable water practice" is within reach. Even if you don't see yourself as a "change agent", you have more capacity to change things than you think.
The book is dedicated to all water practitioners, everywhere, who are making water services sustainable. We hope it encourages all water engineers, sector organisations, institutions and academia to adopt and then share innovative practice, and put more effort into writing and publishing it7, and searching for and trying out, the new examples of sustainable water practice that are available worldwide.
"Boldness be my friend; arm me, audacity." William Shakespeare, Cymbeline

Mulberry are putting together an ''interesting marketing activity'' instead of showing their latest collection at London Fashion Week in February.
Mulberry is planning a special ''marketing activity'' to replace its axed London Fashion Week show.
The British brand will still have a strong presence at next February's event, despite recently announcing the cancellation of its catwalk show due to the departure of creative director Emma Hill.
Bruno Guillon, Mulberry's chief executive, teased in an interview with the Financial Times: ''You can't come to catwalk without a creative director. We are trying to put together a very interesting marketing activity... It will be very interesting and will still give visibility to the brand.''
Mulberry has issued two profit warnings and this week announced a 28 per cent fall in first half pre-tax profit, but Guillon - who took the role in March 2012 - is confident things will change.
He explained: ''It is not easy because we are not in a big group. The big groups, they take a huge space, they arrive with all the brands ... I think we are building the foundations for a good business.''
Guillon disagrees with market analysts who believe the drop is caused by a move towards a higher pricing structure, and believes upping the costs of Mulberry's coveted leather handbags makes the brand stand out against its mid-market competitors.
He explained: ''[We use] a very good quality leather, and if you want to buy today, you need to pay the cost. At 30 [customers] used to buy a Mulberry, and when they got to 40, and had a bit more money, they were going to other brands.
''With the additional offer we are proposing, we are much more capable of retaining this customer.''

Duration: 90 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Apr 05, 2016
IMDb: 1.5
Since IMDb is filled now with fake reviews and comments about this movie I feel compelled to write my opinion, trying to balance the force a little.
I tried the movie with my kid, I got the title and was very intrigued that it's gonna be an Occulus 3.0 experience or something of the sort.
I gotta say this, because this is a review and I'm gonna be honest, the premise was good, the first act (the preparation) was solid but the director slipped through it's fingers some errors that are worth checking.
First of all, this is a movie about Gamers that somehow are living in a future earth, so, they have super advanced smartphones and cards with screens but they somehow have video games with pre-xbox360 graphics (despicted on the game-play from the screen of one of the character's home).
The movie proceed then to a nice first act in which we see the Gamers prepping for the game. The offices, the suits and the helmets were a nice touch and I must say they were a good fit to the movie (if not one of the strongest points).
BUT As soon as the actions starts (the first 10 minutes of VR) you kinda see what the rest of the movie will be like.
The scenery is EXTREMELY limited, the script is non-existent, the "missions" stops being missions and starts being just "walk and kill", not a single video game of this era will support this kind of nonsense gaming, they need to have a plausible argument.
In this movie, the director switches the argument for the character development, he places all the stereotypical ones, the shy girl, the psycho, the ego-maniac fat guy who lives in the basement, the.. you get the point. Not a single stereotype was missing, this.. was not a good starting point, to be honest.
Since the movie is all about them, we get lost in a sea of corridors, switching from room A to room B and then to Room C, but then you kinda get the point. There is NO room D ! The whole movie is filmed in no more than 3 rooms, and 1 or 2 corridors with very poor scenery, they even had the guts to film several scenes with the same rooms in the same angle !. IF you're going to film a movie with few rooms at least try to switch angles.
Tip to the director: YOU CAN make a good movie with no scenery at all, I know you know because this movie seems to follow the same progression as the movie THE CUBE. Yes, you can bet. Those who saw the movie will see the similarities.
The ending was good but again, too similar to the movie THE CUBE.
For anyone reading this review, if you somehow liked the premise and you still didn't know what THE CUBE is, go watch it and you'll be amazed, that's a serious SCI FI horror movie worth of your consideration.
This movie could of been so much better if they hired better actors, Morfydd Clark was the only one doing a good job, all the rest was mediocre, being the guy who acted as "the Sargent" one of the worse actors I ever seen in my life.
Finally, I would not dare to speak too much about the music because I do really believe that the musician is just incompetent. Trying to make a soundtrack about a VR video game with CASIO tone music from the 80's is only gonna make Gamers more angry at you.
Gamers are not dumb stereotypes like the ones in the movie, that listen to CASIO tone music, stuck in a basement and still playing 1995 games. The world has changed, video game industry has evolved to a point in which soundtracks are becoming an essential part of any video game. I've seen incredible soundtracks from games where the budget was 3 times less than budget movies so this is really not an excuse to make an horrible soundtrack.
Talking about FX on this one is like talking about how does a video game looked 5 years ago, because, seriously, the CGI was so bad that my Xbox can render better in-game graphics than some of the scenes of this movie, specially the "exteriors". They could be avoided and we should of get a much better product. Bad FX tend to somehow hurt a movie much more than it should.
Good movies could be made with almost no special effects and there are plenty of examples out there. As a rule of thumb, if you're not going to produce an acceptable FX, it's better not to do it and hide it, it's gonna be a much better overall execution than to do it badly, tons of directors did great things following this path.
All in all, the movie premise was good, the execution was really poor, all the middle is just expendable material and the ending is good but since it's almost a ripoff from THE CUBE and others, it doesn't create a rewarding experience.
The only redeeming factors of this movie are: the first minutes, the concept, some bits of the ending and the legs of Morfydd Clark on that amazing suit, that's it.
The movie is a solid 3/10 If you somehow are a fan of budget movies, there are WAY better movies out there. You can start by watching Kill Command for example.

Magic of Thieves by C. Greenwood
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was okay, which is disappointing because it started off with such a bang and drew me in instantly. After that, I found my interest waning. For an author who describes themselves as a sword and sorcery Author, I was disappointed that for the most part, neither of these attributes really existed. I know this is the first book in the series and I'm sure the author is laying everything out, but it felt too short, with nothing ever accomplished, no character growth, and no idea who the antagonist is except that we know the Praetor is evil and killing off all magic users. There also isn't a lot of world building (imo).
Ilan seemed to have too much of a teenage chip on shoulder and lashed out at anyone who tried to help her. Even when she was saved in the end by Terrac, she seemed to blunder even that. The ending seemed rushed, and I didn't buy Rideon's response at all (I assumed he would be much angrier than he was at her breach of his orders) and didn't like the mention of a hero's welcome. What was she a hero of? If it wasn't for Terrac, she would have probably gotten herself killed while she cried and tried to gather Brig's remains (and don't get me started about how Terrac was able to flee the fists by kicking a log and starting a fire).
In the last 10% of the book, we finally get some action. Ilan stumbles across a magic bow, which is another aspect of the book I didn't care for. I am assuming this bow will have significance in the rest of the series, but if that is the case, I would like to see more of a story tied to it. The MC should never just stumble across something like that. Think of any significant weapon/item in any other book and there is always a story connected to it. The fact she stumbles into it in a remote barn, buried under moldy hay, just never resonated with me. I never got an inkling during the story that Ilan excelled in hand to hand combat, yet somehow she was able to defeat Resid. It seemed too easy after she received whispering in her mind (presumably from the bow) and killed him.
All in all, I liked the premise, I just don't know that I bought all of it. I also disliked the amount of passive text in the story. I hate being told and would much rather be shown what is going on. I may or may not pick up the second book in the series. The verdict is still out.
This book starts out strong with lots of potential. The book starts when Ilan is a very young girl. The country they live in does a cleansing, killing all those with magic power. Ilan manages to escape, by using her magic to kill one of the guys chasing them – although her parents aren't so lucky. A neighbor finds her, and pays for passage out of the country for Ilan with an old peddler.
On the road, the peddler gets attacked by bandits and killed. One of the bandits feels sorry for Ilan, and, not realizing she has magical powers, drops her off at the nearest town. However, Ilan follows him back to the camp. The bandits feel sorry for her and raise her as one of their own.
This is where the book lost my interest. The synopsis makes it sound like Ilan is running around the forest practicing magic and having adventures. By my count, Ilan does magic exactly twice in the book. Almost nothing happens for the remainder of the book. Ilan makes one friend, and she is horrible to him. I could not get attached to any of the characters or care what happened to any of them, because none of them had any likable characteristics.
The book isn't badly written, its just horribly dull. She finds the magical bow at the end of the very last chapter, and doesn't use it once in the book to do anything. I'm not really even sure who the old enemy is that was referred to, because nothing came up by the end of the book. Maybe that all happens in book 2? Regardless, I won't be reading any farther.
I read this book because it was offered for free through the BookBub website. As with most free ebooks, I had low expectations. However, the author surprised me with the colorful characters, the straightforward writing, and the interesting story. While it is probably not something I will read again, I consider it an hour well spent. I recommend it to young people (or slightly older people like myself) who are fans of the "Ranger's Apprentice" series.
A fantasy-world coming of age story, more "a few years in the life of" rather than a plot-based book with a problem to be solved, a journey to be taken, etc. I can't say I found the main character all that likable. Too much teenaged angst, not enough thinking about other people until it's too late. This one's good for teenagers and YA, and I guess the cover should have warned me, huh?
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It was a short read, but the characters were well written and the story line was easy to follow.The characters we interesting, some you wanted to hate and others you just wanted to protect. I look forward to the next book in the series.
A compelling and thoroughly enjoyable young adult fantasy book. It is part one of a series to come. (Personally I would love to see works like this published as one volume, but alas, the publishing business demands otherwise.) I really liked the story that starts and begins to develop here in Act One.
The writing is rich and satisfying without resorting to too many cliches or plodding narrative. The author serves up a ponderous protagonist named Ilan in first person POV. She evokes an enigma while at the time compels the reader to compassion. Her conflicts are poignant, her motivations complicated, and her morality pleasantly murky.
The plot line comes off as natural and original not stuffy or contrived. The setting is a bit standard fantasy fare, but I found the concept of magic as empathy fresh and interesting.
I will eagerly await reading about the rest of the journey.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
WILMINGTON — Susan Rosenberger Derstine, 72, of Wilmington, N.C., passed away early Sunday morning, Nov. 27, 2016, in her home with her husband of 53 years and her daughter by her side. She was born on Jan. 16, 1944, in Lansdale, Penn., the daughter of the late Raymond and Sally Rosenberger of Hatfield, Penn.
Surviving are her husband, Carl Landis Derstine; daughter, Lisa Rosenberger Bapst and her husband, Robert Michael Bapst, of Grove City, Ohio; and three grandchildren, Brandon Murray Bapst, Nicholas Derstine Bapst and Alexi Landis Bapst. Also surviving are four sisters and three brothers, Mildred L. Burkholder, Marcus L. Rosenberger, and his wife, Evelyn, Gladys L. Grasse, and her husband, Willard, Mary L. Newcomer, and her husband, Arthur, Henry L. Rosenberger, and his wife, Charlotte, Dr. James L. Rosenberger, and his wife, Gloria, and Sally L. Harshbarger, and her husband, Paul.
She was preceded in death by her brother, William L. Rosenberger; sister, Arlene L. Rosenberger; and a brother-in-law, Melvin Burkholder.
Susan grew up in Hatfield, Penn.., worked in the family-owned business, Rosenberger Dairies, and attended Penn View Mennonite grade school and Christopher Dock High School (now known as Dock Mennonite Academy).
After marrying her husband in 1963 at the age of 19, she moved to Wilmington, N.C., with her husband and daughter in 1968. She dedicated herself to serving her family and friends, including those within her church. Susan's deep faith in Jesus Christ, now a member of the Living Church of God, expressed itself by example rather than vocalizing it. In many respects she personified the woman described in Proverbs 31:10-31.
She loved gardening and had been a member of local garden clubs. She had a special interest in nutrition and was involved with the local Tidal Creek Co-op almost from the inception in the early 1980's. Susan's wonderful sense of humor and special way of being will greatly be missed by her family and friends.
A visitation will be held at 10 a.m. with a funeral service following at 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at Andrew's Valley Chapel, 4108 College Road, Wilmington, NC 28412. Interment will be held in Oleander Memorial Gardens.

Series: Themes in Tourism Series
349 pages, B/w photos, figs, tabs, maps
Prentice-Hall (Pearson Education)
Accessible core text dealing with the relationship of tourism and nature, providing a contemporary analysis of the impacts of tourism upon the environment.Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world and the fastest growing component of it is ecotourism. The current growth rate of tourism means that there will be approximately 650 million international tourists by 2001. However it is natural area tourism which is the most rapidly growing segment of tourism and the WTO estimates it generates approximately 8% of all international travel expenditure (WTO/UNEP 1992). Reflecting this huge growth in ecotourism, Dowling introduces students to the primary aspects of this global industry. From the relationship between tourism and the environment to nature based tourism and ecotourism's impacts, the book presents students with a comprehensive examination of what ecotourism is, where it lies within tourism, and the issues that have arisen in the development of ecotourism within such a huge global industry.

The High Court overturned a 5th Circuit ruling against the Erica P. John Fund, which wants to represent all investors who bought Halliburton stock between June 1999 and December 2001.
Thomas Lee Hazen of the University of North Carolina School of Law is one of more than a dozen law professors who filed a brief on behalf of the shareholders.
"The prior law in the 5th Circuit had been very restrictive in terms of justifying dismissal of a lot of class actions at the early stage. The Supreme Court's view is simply saying, 'We'll let the plaintiff get in the courthouse door, state their claim, and then we'll let the plaintiff try to prove the causation that he or she is trying to establish.'"
The shareholders' lawsuit argues that Halliburton deliberately understated the company's liability in asbestos litigation, inflated how much money its construction and engineering units would bring in, and overstated the benefits of a merger with Dresser Industries.

Attend a Preparing Together day
Our marriage preparation day, Preparing Together, is a one-day workshop for groups of up to 12 couples. It is normally held on Saturdays (or over a series of evenings), organised by our local centres across England and Wales.
Enjoyable, revealing and rewarding, you'll be encouraged to consider things you may not even be aware you need to think about. All in a safe, supportive environment, where no one is forced to share anything they are uncomfortable with.
During the day, you will learn how your relationship grows when you deal with important issues in a constructive and loving way. We cover a lot of ground, including:
- the importance of talking and listening
- how to negotiate and solve problems
- what you expect from your relationship
- the way your family and childhood influence how you interact with each other.
All to help you cultivate a fulfilling life-long relationship.
Who runs the day?
The day is led by facilitators selected and trained by Marriage Care to the highest standards. They have a wealth of experience in working with couples and receive regular ongoing training and support.
Who can attend?
A lot of our couples are planning to marry in the Catholic Church but we welcome all couples considering a committed relationship such as marriage.
What do couples say about the day?
- "You don't know you need it until you have attended!"
- "Incredibly useful. I will take a lot from this day into our future life together."
- "It gave me an insight into how I deal with conflict and I learned that I can change how I react."
- "Every couple should attend one of these courses – it was surprisingly helpful."
- "Everybody participated but there was never any pressure."
- "It was relaxed, informal and fun."
Is there a fee?
Marriage Care is a registered charity and all our services are delivered by trained volunteers. We charge a fixed fee for our Preparing Together course that contributes to the costs of the day, the resources you are given and the behind the scenes facilitator training and preparation. Your local centre will indicate the amount you will need to pay to secure your booking.
My partner isn't keen on doing the day.
What can I say to persuade him/her to come along? Find the answer to this and other frequently asked questions on our Marriage preparation FAQs page.

In the Beginning
Well, borrowing from Genesis is a bit over the top, but still. A total of 14 hours on a plane is never easy, but the seats were great (lots of leg room), the flight was well short of full and the entertainment system had enough choices to keep us amused. Note, if you haven't seen the film "Room", do yourself a favour, it's awesome. One scene in the …
Dubai update
... bag by a third (we can easily fit all our clothes for both of us into the size of a carrier bag!) We visited the fish market on Wednesday just to have a look around. It's a bit o an ordeal as the vendors are quite eager to get your attention and love to wave wet fish in your face in order to do this. There is also a meat section, which is a lot more relaxed affair, and you can watch the heads and carcasses of beasts being butchered in relative tranquillity -Vic was most pleased!

The speed limits in Abu Dhabi are higher on the freeway than in Dubai. Speed limits for "heavy vehicles" or mini vans are 80kph and for car, 120kpm whereas in Abu Dhabi the speed for cars is 140kph.

LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives risk losing a second British parliamentary seat to the anti-EU UKIP party on Thursday, foreshadowing a possible political upheaval in next year's national election.
With distrust of mainstream parties and anxiety about immigration rising among voters across much of the country, four opinion polls have suggested UKIP (the United Kingdom Independence Party) will win Thursday's by-election in the southeast English constituency of Rochester and Strood.
Thursday's vote was called when the constituency's Conservative member of parliament Mark Reckless resigned after defecting to UKIP, which favours an immediate British withdrawal from the European Union and sharply lower immigration.
Victory for Reckless, who is seeking to regain his seat for UKIP, would deepen fears among European partners of a possible British exit from the EU. It would also deal a serious blow to Cameron who ordered his party to mobilise all its resources to hold Rochester, visiting the area five times before the ballot.
Final results of the vote, which follows a by-election last month when another Conservative defector won UKIP's first elected seat in parliament, are expected around 0300 GMT on Friday morning.
Success for UKIP would also deepen Conservative fears of a split right-wing vote in the election to the Westminster parliament in May 2015, making it harder for Cameron to hold onto power. This could stoke disquiet among Conservative lawmakers about his leadership, some of whom might also be tempted to defect.
"If I do win there will be a significant change in people's assumptions about UKIP," Reckless told Reuters in an interview.
"People will realise that we're credible and a party that is likely to win many more seats in Westminster next year."
Reckless defected in September, saying said he had lost faith in Cameron's promise to wring serious reform from the EU if a Conservative government is re-elected.

Iowa Light
The aspect of the Iowa landscape that impacted me most was light. The winter sun never got high in the sky, long shadows changed direction but never shortened, and I had a feeling of living my whole day in the moment before dusk.
I am interested in time based scale shifts, or gaining a sense of time travel by expanding my idea of the moment until it encapsulates all of human history, or all of earth's history, or the universe's. My description of this scale shift is borrowed largely from Brian Eno and the Long Now Foundation. I could also borrow the words of T.S. Eliot who spoke of a still point; or Shih-t'ao who spoke of a wholeness of spirit that goes beyond the intellectual, sensual, and emotional, "free and unafraid, into wholeness of universe."

Christmas Morning or Waking Up the VampyreMature
The bright sun lit the room and Gabriel groaned loudly as someone began bouncing on the end of the bed.
"Dawn, go away." He growled.
"It's not me." Dawn grumbled from under the covers beside him.
"Good morning." Morgan cried happily "merry Christmas." Dawn muttered something and grabbed the covers pulling them up over his head. "Come on sleepies." Morgan laughed.
"Morgan its six am go away." Dawn growled as she pulled the covers off his face.
"I'll make coffee if you get up." She laughed.
"Fine, if you stop bouncing." Dawn glared at her as she hopped off the bed and almost ran from the room.
"Why did I get that drunk?" Gabriel grumbled.
"Morning boys." Lou said looking in the open door. Even Lou who was usually chirpy in the mornings looked tired as he came in. "I see the Morgan express has been through here too." He yawned Gabriel rolled away from the open door and rested his wing over himself blocking out the light.
8am came quickly and Morgan had managed to wake everyone except Gabriel and Dawn.
"Come on." She shouted happily.
"Morgan" Gabriel snapped "go away."
"But I want my present" she grumbled "and I want everyone else to open theirs."
"alright." Dawn moaned gripping his head he sat up his short black hair sticking up all over the place. "I'm up."
"Good" Morgan grinned "get him up too." She bounded out of the room again.
"Come on sweetie." Dawn yawned laying a hand on Gabriel's wing. "It's Christmas now."
"I don't care" came the muffled reply "I want sleep"
"Me too" Dawn said rubbing his eyes, he smiled as Gabriel shifted slightly and he leant down and ran a finger down the back of the vampyres neck. He moved just in time as the razor sharp claws almost caught his hand.
"Get off, I don't want to get up."
"You have too," Dawn said
"I'll kiss you if you don't." Dawn laughed Gabriel growled deep in his chest.
"Fine, I'm getting up." Dawn stood and stripped not really caring that Gabriel was behind him.
The vampyre pulled himself up and lit a cigarette. Dawn moved dressed only in a pair of jeans the vampyres blue eyes looked up.
"So do we find out who got the present for us?" he asked as Dawn tried to tame his hair.
"Some of us will know" Dawn said as Gabriel stood stretching his wings out. Dawn smiled as he watched the vampyre.
"Stop it." Gabriel growled.
"stop what?" Dawn grinned Gabriel glared at him before turning to leave Dawn vanished in a flash of red and appeared beside Gabriel hugging him tightly despite the vampyres muffled protests.
"Dawn" Gabriel muttered against the daemons chest.
"Get off."
"I just wanted to say," Dawn smiled at him as he loosened his grip slightly. "happy Christmas."
"And you" Gabriel growled "now get off I need to get dressed."

Chapter 4; ChristianMature
Chapter 4.
Word count: 1,061
Authors note: "Jiyu" means "Earth's Milk" - which is referenced in the early Korean creation-mythology, or cosmology. Wikipedia has more information. I used this to provide a little substance and importance to the pharmacological industry referenced herein and it's intentions: Creation, and destruction.
Christian shrugged his navy blue workshirt over his broad shoulders and became perturbed when his large, calloused fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons. He wore his shoulder holster, preferring it to the hip holster that most security companies provided. He supposed he could compromise and switch them if his new "boss" had an issue with a shoulder holster. He stuffed the service pistol inside of it.
He grabbed his wallet, cap, and keys and swapped out his photo identification. Brian Adams, he mused inwardly, rolling his eyes. How ridiculous.
It was 8:30 in the morning when he left the condo he was sharing with his new commander. He wondered how the next few months of his life were going to be. Even the first morning had started off strangely, not to mention the night before when they'd met.
It was just supposed to be the two of them? He kicked his Jeep into reverse and pulled out of the parking lot. He couldn't believe his only backup was on cold storage.
What good did that do them if they were trapped? This was why he hated government jobs, he reminded himself. Nothing but carefully worded lies and smoke and mirrors. He supposed, in the end, it hardly mattered. He worked best alone, anyway, and more than two men just got too complicated. Too many individual minds going in too many different directions.
He pulled off the highway and took Ludwig Ave until he found the parking garage for Jiyu Pharmaceutical Industries, his new security detailing job. He clipped his security tag to his shirt and adjusted his hat in the mirror. He locked the Jeep, and made his way to the front of the building.
The structure stood over twenty stories tall, which was rather short by the standards set by most buildings in New York, but it was monstrously wide. Easily more than four football fields wide, the stout monstrosity housed over twenty-five individual lab sections.
One of the guards at the door scanned his security tag, using the thin stretching rope to make it reach from Christian's shirt to the small handheld device in his hand. He buzzed him in without a word, and Christian walked up to the front desk, where a tall woman stood, her hair pinned back from her wide face.
"Mister Adams, your shift doesn't start for another twenty minutes," she said, and he wasn't sure if she were scolding him or praising him.
He could tell immediately that this rotund woman was going to frustrate his day-to-day life. He smiled at her, attempting to bring a little light into his eyes to soften the harsh emptiness there. "My apologies, ma'am, I thought I would get here a little bit early, in case you needed anything further from me," he said, his tone as light and easy as he could make it.
"Mister Hullings will see you," she said, ignoring him, "take the elevator up to the top floor. That's his office." She scowled at him, he thought, her little bird-eyes narrowing at him from across her desk. "Straighten your cap, Mister Adams. We run a tight ship here at Jiyu."
He offered her another smile, attempting to show humility in this one, and adjusted his hat in front of her. "Yes, ma'am," he said, adding, "much obliged."
Inside the elevator, Christian pressed the button for level 23, seemingly the top floor, and waited in silence as the metal box traveled upward. He held his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes tilted upward at the digital screen reading the floor numbers, slowly ticking them away. When the doors slid open, the large office stretched out before him. Maroon carpets, the glossy oak walls, the floor-to-ceiling windows. A couple dozen meters ahead sat a stately mahogany desk, wide and thick, topped with gaudy golden lamps and paper weights. Behind the desk sat a man in his fifties, his salt and pepper hair combed back, his reading glasses on and the morning paper spread out before him. Mister Hullings, Christian presumed.
He took two steps out of the elevator before stopping, wondering what the protocol was for approaching the man's desk. He cleared his throat to announce his presence and said, "Morning Mister Hullings, my name is Brian Adams." He had to choke back a near chuckle before he could continue. "I was told you wished to see me."
"Yes," said Hullings from behind his paper, "come right in."
Christian did as he was told, moving to stand in front of the desk, his hand still clasped behind him.
"You're early, Brian. Most people aren't early for work, these days. Laziness," he scoffed, "how disgusting."
"Yessir," Christian replied, "most people would sleep their lives away, given the chance."
The corner of the newspaper curled inward, revealing half of Hullings' taught, pale face. He studied Christian in silence for a moment, seeming to do it longer simply because Christian didn't fidget beneath the scrutiny. "I quite like you, Brian," he said suddenly, setting the entire paper down on his desk and removing his glasses. "Tell me, Brian, what time to you get up in the morning?"
"Five a.m., sir."
"Was your father in the military, or did you join?"
"Both, sir. My father was a Chief Warrant Officer, he sent me to the military academy when I was of age, and I enlisted when I graduated." He wondered where Hullings was going with the questions. He hadn't taken a seat, and Hullings hadn't offered him one.
"When was the first time you felt like a man, Brian?"
Without a moment of hesitation, he answered, "When I gave the eulogy at my father's funeral, sir."
Still standing, he kept his gaze on the man. Studying, observing, filing the information away. The scissors on the edge of the desk were left handed scissors, there was a faint pattern in the deep orange of Hullings' tie. The paper was open to the World Market section.
"Brian, I want you to go to the monitoring room and inform Culborrow that he can have hallway duty. I want you on my personal squad."
He wasn't sure what compelled the man to promote him without even seeing him work, but Christian recognized an opportunity when he was presented with one. He leaned down slightly, not quite bowing but showing respectful gratitude. "Yessir, thank you, sir."

Could a driver be able to travel nearly 12,000 miles in two years using just 26.1 gallons of gasoline? If he is driving a conventional vehicle fueled by conventional fuel like gasoline or diesel, cruising for almost 12,000 miles on just 26.1 gallons of fuel is an impossible feat. But achieving that deed is not impossible for Jeff Kaffee and his Chevrolet Volt, according to John Voelcker of High Gear Media.
Two years ago, Kaffee, a retired pilot from Parsippany, New Jersey, became the first person in the United States to own a Chevrolet Volt. He managed to log almost 12,000 miles on the Volt electric vehicle and consume just 26.1 gallons of gasoline in a span of two years. That is equivalent to a lifetime average of around 460 mpg, as Kaffee covered most of those miles on grid electricity.
Although the 12,000-mile distance is lower than the average covered by most cars, Kaffee notes that he also makes few long-distance road trips, as he spends up to half the year in Florida.
According to Kaffee, most of his daily cruises dropped within the electric range of his 2011 Volt. He disclosed to High Gear Media that he travels around 38 to 40 miles in the summer, and about 30 to 35 miles in colder months. He, however, noted that owners of 2013 Volts have reported higher ranges because of its slightly larger battery pack.
Kaffee is likewise very satisfied with his Volt, since it has yet to log any bugs or service issues. His only complaint was of a faulty tire-pressure sensor, which was replaced under warranty. He added he had no need to ask the dealer to look at or fix anything. Kaffee remarked that for such a new kind of car, he expected to be in the dealer "every month or two for something or other."
If there is something he could change on his Volt, Kaffee said that the leg room of the rear seat to be increased by 2 or 3 inches. He said the rear seats are just a little tighter than he and his friends would prefer.
According to Kaffee, he mostly plugs in his Volt at home, and doesn't make any effort to locate or seek out public charging stations. He said that he has seen charging stations "here and there on his travels," including six or eight stations at the PepsiCo headquarters in Purchase, New York. Kaffee, however, is not a member of ChargePoint or any other network of stations.

I have my serious moments, and my random moments (many random moments, because randomness is awesome, and awsome is good) however usually when i'm writing, I'm serious. I found out about this site from a friend of mine who described it to me (do not ask who she is here, because i no not who she is. However I do know who she is in real life, because it would be creepy if i didn't) and was really excited about the site, so I have now joined it. Hobbies (so fun to read, yet boring to write): Writing (obviously, because if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be here. Except if this was somehow some odd punsihment, but it is not), reading, listening to music, hanging out with friends, daydreaming/making up wierd scenarios in my head, and the list goes on.... As far as my personality goes, I am very open minded (or at least try hard to be), I like laughing and having fun (like most people), things I dislike include racist people, and just descrimination in general. Although I can be very talkative, I can often be very quiet (so if you ever meet me in real life and I don't say much, don't be offended). Anything else....hmm...can't think of anything at the moment, but if I think of more I'll add it.

1982 San Jose, California Study of Adolescent Perinatal
Risk Reduction Behavior
The purpose of this study was to develop a model of adolescent perinatal risk behavior and examine the relationship between at- risk pregnancy behavior of adolescents and perinatal outcomes. The file contains data collected from 93 women under age 18 who had just given birth in one of five San Jose area hospitals in July and August of 1982. The data were collected by means of a structured, close-ended survey instrument. The file includes information on substance use and abuse, pregnancy and labor outcomes, social support, the use of services, contraceptive use, previous pregnancies, education, respondents' orientation toward the future, and relationship to the father of the child.
Note for users of DAAPPP Data Sets #01-B1
DAAPPP data sets 01 through B1 are comprised of a User's Guide, SPSS syntax files (*.SPS or *.SPX) and raw data files only. Most of these datasets contain SPSS syntax files that use Job Control Language (JCL) from 1980s versions of SPSS-X. Because the syntax is old, the syntax files require editing to conform to the current syntax standards used by SPSS/Windows or SPSS/Unix.
