One thing I love about the ACT is that it's beatable. Anyone can master the exam and get a top score, with the right preparation and strategies. English skills on the ACT are especially test specific. So to do well on this section, it's important to understand how your skills will be assessed and seek out the useful practice activities. In this post, we'll look at the practice activities you should do if you want to get the full 36 points on this section.
Read your way to a perfect 36
ACT English does focus on writing skills of a sort. You'll be asked to revise writing, grammar, mechanics, and style. But you need to remember that you aren't actually writing anything yourself. You are proofreading the writing of others. And proofreading, as the name of the term suggests, has a strong reading element to it. In fact, you can really think of the activities in ACT English as a mix of reading and writing skills.
When you do your practice reading, be sure you read the kinds of passages that appear in ACT English. These will be different than the passage types you see in the Reading section of the ACT. English seciton passages are less dense and less academic than the reading ones. You'll find a similar tone on lighter news and entertainment websites such as Reader's Digest and Parade. You can also find good practice reading on sites that are specifically for adolescent and teen readers, such as Teen Vogue, Boy's Life, and Teen Reads.
In addition to this kind of light reading, the ACT English section also contains passages similar to essays written by actual high school and undergraduate students. This brings me to my next tip…
To get a perfect 36 in ACT English, learn to read as a critic
For ACT English practice, you shouldn't just read for comprehension. You should read with a critical eye, making judgements about the quality of what you read. And you'll have the most opportunities to read as a critic when you read the writings of other students.
Student writing is developmental writing, not professional writing. Look for sample student essays online (lots of universities and learning websites post student writing). Check out your classmates' writing too, and review their writing as a critic. You'll find that many of your classmates will be more than happy to show you an essay they've written, if you offer to proofread it and suggest revisions. It's a win-win where you get free ACT Writing practice, and they get writing help from a peer.
There are also some ways that you can read good professional writing as a critic, Understand why good writing is good, and why authors and editors make the decisions they do. And think about how the phrases, sentences, and paragraphs you read could be structured differently—there is more than just one way to write something, and there's no one "best" way. Carefully thinking about the work of professional writers will help you make effective revisions of your classmate's essays, and of everything you see in the ACT Writing Section.
Practice writing
Reading and writing could best be described as symbiotic—these skills are interdependent, and you need to do both to be good at both. When you develop your critic skills in the reading activities above, you're really learning how to think like a writer. The next logical step is to be a writer. Be the kind of good writer you encourage your classmates to be. Aim for the quality of writing you see on professional websites.
Do writing activities such as keeping a journal and writing short essays about subject that interest you. Again, this can go hand-in-hand with reading; if you read an article on a topic that you really like, read up more on that subject and write about it yourself. The coolest thing about these less personal writings is that they can often double as assignments in the English classes you take.
What's important
These readings and writing activities are the kinds of things you should do to maximize your chance of getting a 36 in ACT English. There is also some specific content you should know in order to do well on the English section of the exam. In my next post, we'll go through a checklist of the knowledge you need to get your perfect score.
So those are the activities you should do to score 36 in ACT English. Now, let's look at the knowledge you need to get your 36.
Know the test materials
For ACT English, this is especially important. The multiple choice format for revising writing is an unusual one, not the kind of thing you normally see in regular high school language arts coursework. Make sure you review a lot of official ACT practice materials, as well as questions from third-party companies like Magoosh. A comfortable familiarity with the exam will help you apply your reading practice skills to the exam.
In the English Section, you will read passages, portions of which are underlined. Each underlined piece of writing corresponds to a multiple choice question that presents different possible revisions of the underlined segment. The first answer choice will always be "NO CHANGE," while the other answer choices will change the text in different ways.
There are also a few questions that don't follow format described above. These other questions will correspond to a part of the passage that is numbered but not underlined. In this alternate question format, you'll be asked for your opinion the effectiveness of a part of the passage, or you'll need to insert an additional sentence into its correct place within the passage.
This structure is pretty predictable, and there's a good chance you already have some familiarity with the format of the ACT English test. But it takes more than just familiarity to know this section well enough to get a 36 on the ACT. Really work with practice exam questions for this section. Reach a point where you know the question format so well that you can tell whether you're being tested on grammar, punctuation, style, rhetoric, and so on. And really understand why a certain answer choice is correct or incorrect. This leads nicely to the next thing you need to know…
Know the hows and whys of punctuation, style, and rhetoric
To understand why a given answer is right or wrong in ACT English, you need to understand how different writing devices are used, and why good writers make the choices they do. Don't just memorize a bunch grammar and punctuation rules.
Actually understand what punctuation does. Recognize the ways that commas set aside ideas, understand that a semicolon is used to unite two similar sentences, sense the way that a period or question mark allows the reader to "hear" a sentence's ending tone, and so on.
Understand how word choice and the organization of information work to deliver a message. Realize the ways in which style can help readers understand an author's message, attitude and intent. Recognize the importance of relevant complete information in a written piece.
And above all, understand how all of these principles can be applied to decisions you make in your own writing, as well as decisions you make when you choose answers on the exam.
The takeaway
The ACT English exam presents writing activities in a unique, test-specific way that you must be prepared for. But the broader writing principles that are being tested are quite universal. Understanding these principles allows you to understand what you're really being tested on, so that you develop the right writing skills for a perfect ACT score. These very same skills will also help you get excellent scores in your future college classes.

The Octopus' Spawn
Prologue: Lawyers and Doctors
The early light of April dawn streamed through the bedroom as Anna Smith, Esquire, packed her suitcase, preparing for the important bar association meeting in New York City. The plane was going to take off in four hours.
Her husband, Jake Winthrop, was still in bed. "Woman! Why isn't my breakfast here! I'm starving!"
Anna opened her mouth to speak. "Get it yourself, you lazy pig! If you want breakfast in bed, try sleeping in the kitchen!" Of course, the great lawyer didn't actually say this. Black and blue didn't go to well with a red business suit.
Jake wasn't always a wife-beating pig. When he was dating Anna, he showered her with gifts, flowers, and chocolates. He always walked on the outside of the street when walking with her, and always opened doors and pulled out chairs.
But soon he started getting jealous. He insisted that Anna go to work without makeup, and in dowdy dresses that even her mother wouldn't be caught dead in. "You're a beautiful woman, Anna," he'd say. "I don't want the other men getting ideas. I don't want you putting ideas in their heads. You belong to me. Remember that." This progressed to Jake controlling the finances, what she could do and whom she could see. The slightest transgression could throw him in a temper—if she even mentioned that she had gone to lunch with a male attorney to discuss a plea bargain, Anna would end up with bruises that would last for weeks. Jake constantly said that women were permanently immature, like babies, only with nicer figures.
The lawyer racked her brains, wondering what went wrong. She could grill a prosecution witness and a few minutes later they would be telling her what they did, who they did it with, and why they did it. But the questions she couldn't answer were the ones she asked of herself. She carefully brushed concealer on her face, trying not to make the black eyes hurt more.
The bruises were from the latest fight, last night. Jake had shouted, as usual, that she was his wife and property, after dredging up her every single disobedience from all fourteen months of their marriage. Finally, Anna had had enough. She hit him first. At six foot three and 185 pounds, she hadn't been called "Hammerhand" in high school for compliments' sake.
Anna's sister, Samantha Laufey, always asked her why she didn't leave him. Laufey said he was the one who was wrong, not her. He had no right to treat any woman like that.
But Anna didn't know if she could trust Laufey anymore. It was during that same fight that he told her in so many words he'd slept with her sister—and she was far better in the bedroom.
"Woman!" Jake yelled. "Are you gonna let me starve? Get me some food! What do you think a wife is for?" Thanks to her, he also had a black eye.
Anna snapped. "There's a certain thing now, it was only invented recently, in the 1920s. It's called a McDonalds, and they have one right down the street. And it's probably better food, by the way you talk about my cooking."
"What about the house? It's a mess. Why can't you clean, like a normal wife does?"
"Why can't you go to work, like a normal husband does?"
He would have hit her right then, but he didn't want the Hammerhand treatment again. Jake contented himself with looking his wife over.
"Red. I should have known it would have been red."
Anna was wearing a red pantsuit and jacket, which horribly classed with her red hair.
"You're going to give men ideas. You're my property, remember that."
Okay, so he wasn't Mr. Romantic, and she wasn't Martha Stewart. She sighed. How did Miss Most Likely to Succeed, the "Clarence Darrow in a skirt," as one law newsletter called her, get into this mess?
Anna checked herself into the New York City hotel, and threw her suitcase on the bed. The conference wasn't until the next afternoon, and she could unpack later. Right now Anna needed a good stiff drink. Maybe she'd meet a handsome guy, and talk to him. Heck, maybe she'd even dance a few times. Anna wasn't anyone's property. Jake would do well to remember that.
Anna entered the bar. A lone barstool sat next to the counter. Sitting on the next barstool over was a man, bobbing the olive up and down his martini with his finger. Anna checked him out.
The strange man had messy brown hair, and he wore a black leather trench coat and matching gloves. He had a long, straight nose, and he was scowling, but the rest of his face was hidden behind dark sunglasses. Only the keenest observer would notice the metal pincers peeking out from beneath the coat, but most of the people there were too pixilated to observe much.
The former scientist now known as Doctor Octopus took notice of the lawyer. "What do you want, lady?" he growled.
"Well, excuse me!" Anna snarled. "Mister, I just want a drink! Is this barstool taken or not?!" No normal New Yorker would say that, in that tone, to Doc Ock, but Anna was from California, and she hadn't got where she was (professionally, that is) by being timid.
"No it isn't. Sorry for snapping at you like that." For his part, the doctor was relieved that someone was bold enough to talk to him like that, like he was another rude guy at a bar, not a criminal freak with mechanical tentacles welded on his back.
"That's okay. Bartender! Get me a tequila!" Anna shouted. "By the way," she said to the man, "I didn't quite catch your name."
"I thought everyone knew about me by now," remarked the scientist.
"Well, I don't," retorted the lawyer. "I'm from California. I've got a law convention here."
"Ah, the land of fruits and nuts. Very well, then—Dr. Otto Octavius." He extended a gloved hand, which Anna shook. "Anna Smith, Esquire. Let me guess—women troubles?"
"Among other things. It's been hell ever since my wife died. It devastated me. I even attempted suicide once."
"I'm sorry," Anna stated. "You seem like a very nice man."
"Not everyone would agree. At least you have a husband."
Anna looked. She had forgotten to remove her wedding ring.
"Yes—a husband who hits me when he's there, and cheating on me when he's not." It was amazing what alcohol could do; three tequilas and an indeterminate amount of martinis, and these two people who barely knew each other were now divulging their personal love lives. Anna paused. "With my own sister."
The next few hours went in a blur. The doctor and the lawyer even danced a few times. If she wasn't so stewed, Anna would have refused when Dr. Octavius offered to escort her back to her hotel room. "An attractive woman like you shouldn't be out in the New York City streets alone at this time," he said. If she wasn't so drunk, she would have asked herself, What if he was a murderer or something? No way, she finally decided. He was so nice, and so haunted somehow. So she went with him to the hotel.
Nine months later, Jake Winthrop looked at his brown-eyed, brown-haired boy and knew that the shoe had been on the other foot.

Barbie, like everything else must evolve, and we must say this girl has gotten with the times.

Get In Where you Fit In | Body Categories
I know what you're thinking, what's with all this body category jive that everyone is talking about? The body positivity movement and refocusing on body categories has been all over the internet and beyond; but what does it really mean? Much like the system for categorizing your hair texture for naturals, the body category system is here to educate and make our lives easier.
Here's why it's important to know what category you fit in, it makes what us girls love to do a whole lot easier! SHOPPING.
This is one of the few times feeding into the hype is in order. Here are three practical reasons you can appreciate knowing your body category:
1. It eliminates the time you spend in the dressing room: You alleviate the guess work and there is no need to try everything on. This literally saves time oh a girl's life doesn't it? You know what style is going to flatter your body most, and until your shape changes you roll with it.
2. It allows for optimum fit: We all know that we let sizing get the best of us some times, but as we have learned fit is what matters most important. When you understand the characteristics of certain body shapes you don't get hung up on sizing. For example, with the triangle body category you have a larger bust and smaller lower half; you won't care that you can't fit a size 8 like you use to. You are ok with grabbing a halter dress in a larger size because you understand that although you are an 8 on the bottom you are more like a 10/12 on top and you need to allow room for that.
3. You automatically know what works for your body with no guess work. You are no longer trying to fit in to a sheath dress and loathing yourself after you hate the way it looks. Realizing you fit into the apple body category will make you opt for an empire waist dress instead of a body con dress and increase your style confidence by the minute.
As women we are all different shapes, figures, and sizes. Body categorizing is not eclusive to "plus size" women, we all fit into one. Nothing about us fits into the cookie cutout mold and body categorizing is no different. Find what category fits you best and shop accordingly. No need to go searching for each category, Take a look at our fit guide and learn where you fit in.

Adafruit TXB0104 Bi-Directional Level Shifter
- approx. 8–10 days
Currently > 5 piece(s) in stock at the supplier
If ordered immediately.
Information subject to change.
If ordered immediately.
Information subject to change.
Because the Arduino (and Basic Stamp) are 5V devices, and most modern
sensors, displays, flash cards and modes are 3.3V-only, many makers
find that they need to perform level shifting/conversion to protect
the 3.3V device from 5V.
Although one can use resistors to make a divider, for high speed
transfers, the resistors can add a lot of slew and cause havoc that is
tough to debug. For that reason, we like using 4050/74LVX245 series
and similar logic to perform proper level shifting. Only problem is
that they are only good in one direction which can be a problem for
some specialty bi-diectional interfaces and also makes wiring a little
That's where this lovely chip, the TXB0104 bi-directional level
converter comes in! This chip perform bidirectional level shifting
from pretty much any voltage to any voltage and will auto-detect the
direction. Only thing that doesn't work well with this chip is i2c
(because it uses strong pullups which confuse auto-direction sensor)
or control lines with a lot of capacitance on them. If you need to use
pullups, you can but they should be at least 50K ohm - the ones
internal to AVRs/Arduino are about 100K ohm so those are OK! Its a
little more luxurious than a 74LVX245 but if you just don't want to
worry about directional pins this is a life saver!
Since this chip is a special bi-directional level shifter it does not
have strong output pins that can drive LEDs or long cables, it's meant
to sit on a breadboard between two logic chips! If you do not need
instant bi-directional support, we suggest the 74LVX245 as below which
has stronger output drive.
This breakout saves you from having to solder the very fine pitch
packages that this chip comes with. We also add 0.1uF caps onto both
sides and a 10K pull-up resistor on the output enable pin so you can
use it right out of the box!

Montrose is a neighborhood located in the Neartown area of Houston, Texas. Established in 1911, the neighborhood is considered one of the demographically diverse areas of Houston with renovated mansions, bungalows with wide porches, and cottages located along tree-lined boulevards. Montrose is one of the more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods in Houston, and the area has a strong identity built up over its long history.
The area of what is Montrose today was originally envisioned as a planned community and streetcar suburb dating back to the early 20th century before the development of River Oaks. Developer J. W. Link and his Houston Land Corporation envisioned a great residential addition according to the neighborhood's original sales brochure. Link's planning details for the area included four wide boulevards with the best curbing and extensive landscaping. Link built his own home in Montrose, known as the Link-Lee Mansion, which is now part of the University of St. Thomas campus.[1] A streetcar, the Montrose Line, ran through the neighborhood. In the brochure, Link wrote what now seems like a huge understatement: Houston has to grow. Montrose is going to lead the procession. It did, and the procession eventually continued far beyond the neighborhood.
In 1926, the Plaza Apartment Hotel, Houston's first apartment hotel opened on Montrose Boulevard. The hotel was home to many of Houston's leaders, including Dr. Edgar Odell Lovett, the first president of Rice University. Modeled after the Ritz-Carlton in New York, the hotel cost over one million dollars to construct.[2]
During the 1960s and 1970s, Neartown was known for its Bohemian flavor—this would spawn both the Westheimer Colony Art Festival in 1971 and the subsequent street fair in 1973, which would become known as the Westheimer Street Festival. Also starting around the 1970s the area became known as the center for the gay and lesbian community of Houston.
In 1981, the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts relocated to Montrose.
During the 1990s through to recent times, this area has become increasingly gentrified with a trend towards remodeled and new homes, high rents, upmarket boutiques and restaurants. Neartown has become an eclectic niche market for office buildings in Houston, with both new development and redeveloped older buildings dotting Montrose Boulevard.
In recent decades, the area hosts a significant community of young adults, artists, gay men, lesbians, hippies, goths, hipsters, and punk rockers, as well as a vibrant thrift, vintage, and second-hand shopping area. Gay bars, shopping, and restaurants are all found here, including after-hours nightclub South Beach, which was voted Houston's Best Gay Bar in 2007 by AOL City Guide.[3]
Several music venues are found in the Montrose. Anderson Fair is one of the oldest folk and original music venues in continuous operation in the United States.[4]
On Montrose Boulevard and Westheimer Road, there are a few original homes remaining—a majority have been converted to businesses and/or restaurants since 1936. Many examples of Houston's historic residential architecture can be found in the tree-lined streets off Montrose and Westheimer where many century-old bungalows and mansions can be found.
Notable residentsEdit
The former home of Howard Hughes on Yoakum Street is now part of the University of St. Thomas. East of Montrose Boulevard on Westmoreland Ave. is the Waldo Mansion, known as the oldest occupied house in Houston. Lyndon Johnson lived on Hawthorne Street when he taught high school in the 1920s.[5]
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston are located in southern Montrose.[6] The Menil Collection, on Sul Ross Street between Alabama Street and Richmond Avenue, is a free museum founded by John and Dominique de Menil, Houston philanthropists.[7]
Health Services Edit
Legacy Community Health Services [1]
Montrose Counseling Center [2]
The Houston Greek Festival is a major event that is held at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral complex at 3511 Yoakum Boulevard that is usually held on the first week of October. The festival has been held there for over four decades and is considered a popular event in the city.[8]

I tend to find something that I love and then I want more more more! Completly obsessed with distressed denim lately and I am on the hunt for the next perfect pair.
I haven't tried on Forever 21 denim before but I spotted these cute styles and they are all under $35 which is great when you are just trying out a trend. I tend to prefer the skinny jeans as baggy jeans can make me look even shorter but the middle pair looks like the perfect baggy-ness. And even though I do like the rips, I don't like it to be TOO ripped so these are the perfect amount for me.
I also love black jeans. I actually own the ones on the left and have been wearing them so much that I need another pair of black jeans to change things up. I do love them though and highly recommend them.
And just some more jeans that I'm loving. I always look for the ones that are cropped or ankle length that way they aren't so long on my shorty legs. I'm thankful that you can find cropped jeans easily these days, I remember having to take every single pair of jeans to my alterations lady a few years ago and that was so annoying and expensive!
And just a few recent snaps from my instagram with my favorite distressed denim. We had the busiest weekend and when I'm out with my daughter I need to be in comfy jeans that I can chase her around in. These are from American Eagle but they are old and don't sell this style anymore.
And from a few weeks ago while I was out shopping. These are the American Eagle jeans that I linked to above.
Funny that I'm wearing my Valentino flats in both the photos. I guess you could say I'm obsessed with them too!

I'm currently wearing this pair of madewell skinny, distressed jeans and they are SO comfortable and flattering: https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/DENIMBAR/highriserskinny/PRDOVR~C1674/C1674.jspReplyDelete
I am obsessed with distressed jeans and thank you so much for sharing this post. I need a pair in black, haven't been lucky yet to find the one that would work with my small curves.ReplyDelete

Regarding the base dir for imported project, I am not sure it can have any meaningful value assigned when using <import resource=""/>. The way we use ant in our build system is to have one main build.xml responsible for setting all project properties and then have it import individual .xmls that each knows how to build a specific thing, such as XDoclet, Hibernate SQLs etc.. To borrow from OOP terminology, the imported projects are a kind of a "mixin" projects that cannot function as a standalone projects on their own since they depend on properties set by root build.xml, so not having base dir set for imported .xmls is making sense in our use case.

Dear Mr Sarkozy,
You are due here on the 21st of July, so let me say welcome to Ireland, the current speed bump in your plans to ensure that a more cost effective, democratically redundant, easier access to EU customers & militarily integrated European experiment. So the NO vote on Lisbon has created a few waves I imagine as you take over the EU rolling presidency, I am sure you would have preferred to take the helm of this grand ship and navigate her into a bright new future...but I guess we have been the iceberg to your Titanic.
I notice you are calling for a second vote in Ireland on the treaty, because with us being such a minority within the EU why should what we have to say rock the boat for the rest of you? The Lisbon Treaty has ensured that us small fry have little say on how things are done in the future with States being left out of the new system for up to 5 years. Of course you have worked in enough small print to ensure the larger members continue to be there on an effectively permanent basis, I guess much like the UN Security Council. Maybe not the best model for any system due to its inherent weakness, but I guess you believe that the majority know what is best for the rest of us? How American of you, big is better.
Yes, this little thing democracy has gone and messed things up. We see how some countries have upper & lower houses, one based on population then other on equal representation. One would think this is a good idea, to ensure that everyone has their say and that minorities are not overtaken by popularlist agendas. Yet with your recent calls for setting up a Mediterranean Union one is left scratching their head at what your ideas about democracy. You wish to set up a new European alliance, with EU funding, but with very limited membership by EU states (silent/observer status) yet include some very questionable regimes from around the Mediterranean. For someone who wants a more integrated EU this seems to be a novel way of going in the opposite direction. Divide & conquer comes to mind or maybe just a child throwing their toys out of the pram?
For years the UK was the problem state of the EU, always the outside causing trouble. Since the expansion to 27 states states like Poland have been equally subversive to the French centered European model, now with the prospect of Turkey joining and obviously becoming a very substantial player within the EU one can understand why you are shaking your head, this is not what you had in mind when you wanted to turn the Economic Community into something more 'cultured'.
Your ambitions of global military dominance also seems to be taking on water. First question should be why do we need a European army? Yes, it would make things cheaper like how you said just last month that you want to rent one of the UK's aircraft carriers, indeed a novel capitalist approach. Since your armed forces are so cash strapped that in this years equivalent to a defence white paper you have slashed funding and are consolidating the French armed forces. Buying just one aircraft carrier was maybe not a great idea, especially not getting the flight-deck measurements right and being unable to deploy all the aircraft it was supposed to is also a kick in the teeth.
Anyway, if all we need are defence forces then surely NATO and the combined forces of the 27 states of the EU are more then capable of fending off the obvious threat from [insert country here]. As for being able to deploy to trouble spots around the globe, why not increase your commitment to the UN peace keeping missions? Why proceed with expensive EU military integration? Think of it, every 30 man company would need an accompanying company of 27 interpretors. Europe may be a union, but this security idea is not common in any sense. France has decided to do its own thing on many fronts thus meaning you could not even launch your aircraft from the new UK carriers. Maybe this requires a bit more thought?
I welcomed your election as President as you represented a fresh & relatively youthful start for France. Yes you have had your problems and your party did poorly in the recent elections, but look at the bright side, now you have the chance to do right by Europe over the next 6 months. Europe needs France, in fact, Europe needs every single one of its members working towards a single goal. Yet if that goal is not there or not shared then maybe it is best not to push on regardless while resorting to threats and bullying tactics. United we stand and by creating division we will fall. No you may not like the option of renegotiating a new treaty, but maybe that says it all. We are all a bit tired of all the work we have to put into this experiment.
It may be time to take a step back and re-evaluate our goals and direction. There is talk of countries leaving the EMU, Italy being a prime candidate, so there are obviously major issues that need to be addressed. The European experiment should be made to work, but on Europe's terms, not on the wants of the political elites, interested parties, big business and unelected officials...since add up to the a significantly smaller number then those that voted down the Lisbon Treaty. No, lets draw the line and take the hard road, lets do what is best for the European citizenry.
Lets take a step back, take a few deep breaths and count slowly up to 10. Lets make your time in the EU presidency about building for a future together, the NO vote in Ireland was your wake up call. You know that many other countries would have voted the same way across the EU. Lets fix that before we form armies to take our common security agenda abroad. Understanding what the citizens want will do more goon then any Treaty ever could. So lets build that integrated Europe on strong foundations, not bitterness and doubt.
Who am I to say this? Just another disposal citizen of the European experiment I guess, but I sit here writing this with a cup of fair trade coffee from Africa, American peanut butter on a French baguette and Indian Bollywood soundtracks playing in the background. No, I am more then a disposal citizen of Europe, I am a citizen of this world who does not desire to live behind walls & borders but I take to heart the African proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far"...
Kind regards,
A citizen

Just imagine what would happen if parents said to their child: "Starting from now on, you will only eat green apples". It could be alright, maybe the child likes green apples. But if his/her parents do not show him/her a red apple, he/she will never know about the difference, and he/she will never need to choose: him/her parents would just decide for him/her.
Apples are just an example. The issue of baptism is clearly much more important and complicated, because it has a strong influence on everyone's life.
On the other hand, someone could say that this is exactly the point: an infant lacks experience of life, so somebody else has to guide him or her and take the first decisions for him or her. In other words, parents should show the right path to follow. But the question is: how do we know if the path our parents want us to follow is the right one? Maybe that path is right for them but not for the child, and he or her will not acknowledge it until he/she grows up. This is why parents should avoid taking decisions about deeply subjective issues such as religion and should not impose baptism: children have to meet different opinions and learn that there are different religions by themselves, without the really strong influence that parents can have. They should be free to study about it if they want and then choose to have faith in what they decide is right.
There is another reason that makes me think that imposing baptism is not right: when a newborn infant receives baptism, he/her is automatically signed up in Vatican's archives, and he/she is counted as a Catholic. This creates false statistics: nowadays the Catholic Church bases its power mostly on the number of Catholics counted all around the world. But just to give an example, today in Italy, according to the so called "Annuario Pontificio", 98% of the population is baptized. Not surprisingly, according to Eurispes Statistics of 2005, only 87,8% of the population consider themselves Catholic. Someone could say that this does not matter: Italy has a long catholic tradition, so it is normal that newborns automatically join that Church whose roots are deeply bound to their country's history. But this is not what I would call "freedom", because, in this way, Italy will be a Catholic country forever to the detriment of the free choice. There will be less space for other confessions and non-catholics will always be looked at as "strange": this is why lots of people today choose to stop being part of the Catholic Church just asking to delete their names from the archives.
In conclusion, I believe that choosing the creed is an important matter of freedom: everyone should have the right to choose by himself or herself everything, from the less important thing to the most important one, from the colour of an apple to the Religion one decides to have faith in.

Wouldn't this be a loophole in gameplay.
Let's say I want to be a miner or botanist.
Those jobs rely on stats, like str, dex, etc. So. I would have to evenly distribute my stats so I can be a miner, and then evenly distribute my stats so it can support my other jobs as well.
Well, then why not just create 2 separate characters? one dedicated to just miner, and level those stats which effect miner.
Then just create a main character and level a mage job and not focus at all on str?
unless, i'm missing something here...

Tag you're it!
Today is a little emotional for me as I post this entry. It is my last Stamptacular Challenge while being on the Design Team. We were selected for a 6 month term and the term is over today. I was asked to stay on, but I had to decline as orders for my handmade items are keeping me very busy these days. I would like to thank all of the DT girls for making this experience such a fun one. I am so glad to have gotten to know you all and plan on staying in touch. Priscilla... you are awesome. Thank you so much for putting this team together and for running it all so well.
Ok ... on with our challenge! The Stamptacular Sunday Challenge today is "Tag you're it!" You must include a tag somewhere on your project. I used the new Stampin Up! modern label punch to make my tag. I am considering using this design for my Christmas cards this year. It's just so crisp and clean.
Thank you for coming by to see me!

Family Mini Album
Hi everyone,
It's a little crazy here as I am 1 week out from my home party. I am done making things and now it's time to focus on the house and food! But not before I share a little project with all of you. This is a mini album that I am giving as a hostess gift. The blank book is from 7 gypsies. It took me a while to find a blank spiral bound chipboard book. So if you are in the market 7 gypsies have them!
Here are a few inside photos:
Thanks for taking a peek! I'll see you on Sunday for another challenge!

Anything but a card
Hello! It's Sunday... and you know what that means? It's time for another Stamptacular Sunday challenge. This week the challenge is to make anything but a card. That should be easy enough. If you play along and link your project over at the SSC blog you'll be entered to win a fabby prize!
For this challenge I decided to make one of these teacher jars. I have kept this idea in my head for awhile now. The jar is filled with smarties candy and the sentiment reads "Because of you I'm a real smartie". Perfect for a teacher. And you know what's right around the corner? Teacher appreciation week.
I hope you'll join in the fun this week. Thanks for stopping by to see me.

These little baby cards are so fun, and they are so easy to make. I am making these for my home party to sell. This MS punch is perfect for any and all things girlie. My cricut is getting a workout lately. I really never used it much for making cards until I saw a few pieces inspiring me to use it. These outfits were made using my cricut and the new arrival cart. The embossing was made using my cuttlebug.
Thanks for stopping by!

Shopping List
This little book is actually a Christmas shopping list to keep in your purse during the holiday shopping season. On one side is your list and the other side is a pocket to keep all of the reciepts for that person. What a great way to stay organized. And guess what this book is made out of? Playing cards!! Yep... that's right! I have always wanted to alter a deck of playing cards. I came up with this idea the other day and jumped in this project with both feet. It was so fun to make.
All stamps, ink, paper, are Stampin Up!
Card Sets
Hi Guys,
Sorry so long since my lasy post. I have been busy working in my studio! Finally time has allowed me to post some of my creations. These 3 sets of note cards are packaged in sets of 6. I plan on selling these at a holiday open house I am hosting in my home in a few weeks. I am trying to produce as much product to sell as I can. So that doesn't leave much time for posting. If you bear with me for a little bit I will eventually post everything I have made.

When CellarDoor (916 Lafayette St., 504-383-5583; cellardoornola.com) opened late last month, it brought a short menu of intriguing dishes and another craft cocktail specialist to the CBD. It also brought a lushly ambient but long dormant downtown building back into circulation.
Modern art is a prominent part of the program here, including a contingent on display from a London gallery, but proprietor Gregory Gremillion said the inspiration for CellarDoor springs from its historic address.
"This is a project based around the space and respecting its history," Gremillion said.
Known as the Swoop-Duggins House, this three-story brick townhouse dates to 1850. It once housed the eponymous restaurant of the late Christopher Blake, a writer and raconteur dubbed the "gourmet laureate" of New Orleans. Later it was a lunch and happy hour spot called the Sporting House and, briefly, a lounge called the Velvet Room. But the space has been empty since Hurricane Katrina.
There's no street parking along its narrow, tree-lined, usually quiet block of Lafayette Street, contributing to an off-the-grid feel to the location, and you enter CellarDoor through a side alley. The floor plan still resembles that of a residence, with a discrete seating area overlooking the courtyard patio and a long, narrow parlor serving as the main dining room.
Jamielyn Arcega, formerly a private chef, runs CellarDoor's kitchen, and her initial menu is based on wide-ranging global flavors worked mostly into small plates and snacks ($5-$13), with just a few entrées ($13.50-$18).
Pot stickers are tinted black with squid ink, stuffed with chopped shrimp and crowned with roe, for example, while lamb kebabs are topped with garlicky gremolata over a peach and apricot relish. Her adobo chicken wings are deboned and stuffed with dirty rice, and she serves fried chicken skin with avocado and cilantro crema.
From the small, eight-seat bar, Michael Yusko oversees a cocktail list balancing modern and classic drinks and a short wine list long on regional diversity.
CellarDoor opens at 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and serves late. Gremillion plans to add weekday lunch in August and weekend brunch in September.
Pub pop-up
The people behind a new tavern taking shape on St. Claude Avenue are already well known around town. This week and next, they're letting people get familiar with the menu at their upcoming venture, too.
Alana and Jim Monaghan, owners of the indispensable French Quarter pub Molly's at the Market and also Monaghan's 13, and Lloyd Miller, their long-time manager, are developing Junction (3021 St. Claude Ave.), a bar with a menu of specialty burgers and 40 beers on tap.
This week (through July 12) and next (July 15-19), they're previewing some of Junction's burgers and other bar food at Molly's. Junction kitchen manager Abe Lemoine will serve different portions of his menu each week, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., working from Molly's tavern kitchen pop-up style.
Miller said Junction should open sometime in August and will serve from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. daily.

Chick Stuff
Leila Lopes
Born in the town of Benguela, Angola and no stranger to titles, Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes was crowned Miss Angola in 2010, then went on to claim the Miss Angola UK crown in 2010.
Controversy would later arise over her legal right to enter the competition due to her non-British ties, but we must say that we do like a bit of controversy don't we?
In spring a young man's fancy turns to… the older women…
As older women are choosing (or chasing) younger partners in a 'role reversal' scene, one wonders at the reasons behind this modern (or seemingly modern) phenomonen.
The above was on a poster that caught my eye as I entered the female changing room at my local gym.
Do you really need to be told something is "good for you"? Those of us lucky enough to be blessed with a companion would be able to tell you just how amazing their partner is.
Now that's a hard one. Is it dead or alive and kicking? Well I guess that depends on the lady in question. Is she a potent feminist or a cool romantic chick? The only way you'll know how to treat her is to ask her!
Don't sit around wondering whether she's the type to open the door herself or whether she prefers to be a romantic diva and have you open it for her...a simple question can go a long way! And you'll definitely be in her good books just for asking...you considerate guy you!

text: Globalstar and Manx Telecom offer combined satellite and cellular for first responders and remote workers27 May 2016 03:19 PM Combining satellite and terrestrial communications for first responders in an easy to use and affordable way has proven elusive up until now, but Manx Telecom and Globalstar think they have come up with a solution, as James Atkinson finds outEmergencies can happen anywhere, so those responding to incidents need to be able to communicate anywhere, anytime. But there are many first responders in the UK aside from fire, police and ambulance who do not have access to the current dedicated emergency services Airwave TETRA two-way radio network or its proposed replacement, the £1bn 4G LTE Emergency Services Network (ESN).To meet this gap in the market, satellite provider Globalstar and mobile network operator Manx Telecom, supported by specialist technical consultancy firm Intelcomm, have joined forces to offer an integrated cellular and mobile satellite service called the Extended Mobile Network (EMN).Announced in April 2016, EMN will initially be offered as FRAN (First Responder Auxiliary Network) enabling communications continuity across the UK for first responders. The solution combines Globalstar's Low-Earth Orbit satellite constellation with Manx Telecom's Smart SIM technology, which enables roaming across all four UK mobile network operators (MNOs), with the two services connected via the former's satellite hotspot product Sat-Fi.The great advantage of EMN is that it will allow customers to use their own mobile phones or smart device and also keep their own mobile number. When a user's signal level begins to drop off due to the limited reach of the MNOs' coverage or disappears due to a natural or man-made disaster, connectivity will be automatically handed over to another mobile network that is in range. If no terrestrial mobile network is available, network connectivity will be transferred onto Globalstar's satellite system.Complementary serviceManx Telecom and Globalstar are keen to emphasise that they are not looking to compete with ESN, which is due to begin service with the first users from September 2017. Rather, it should be seen as a complementary auxiliary service aimed at anyone else who is not a Category 1 front line first responder officer.Mark O'Connell, Director, Sales and Business Operations – EMEA, Globalstar, says: 'We are really offering mission critical voice at the moment. The central point of FRAN is that it opens our communications system up to first responders who are not covered by the new ESN system. In fact, it opens it out to everybody, even when priority has been given to ESN users. I think that is hugely important.'It can also be used by people who are not first responders, but who are working in remote locations and need access to head office, or to other personnel in the field. It is something that we are very excited about and we are working with Manx Telecom to develop this further.'Previous attempts to meet the communication needs of first responders have included using satellites as 'backhaul' to deliver signals to terrestrial masts. However, unlike EMN's approach, which connects users directly via satellite, a backhaul solution is still dependent on the reach and integrity of terrestrial infrastructure. This is not something that can be guaranteed, as became apparent during 2015 when severe weather in the UK damaged terrestrial infrastructure, impairing emergency services' ability to operate. But because it uses the satellite network directly, the EMN solution does not require the backhaul solution. Globalstar satellites orbit at just 1,400 km above the Earth, providing much lower latency than other satellite networks in higher orbits. In addition, there is high reliability in that there are one or more satellites visible from any given point. Background to EMNExplaining the background to EMN, Bob Buckle, director at Intelcomm, says: 'Manx Telecom has a smart roaming SIM that allows you to go and grab the strongest mobile signal available, as the company had already negotiated a roaming deal with multiple UK mobile operators.'What didn't happen,' continues Buckle, 'purely because of network competitivism, is the ability to make a soft handover between cellular networks, so it has to do a hard handover, dropping off one system and connecting to another.'However, when we created Globalstar's Sat-Fi, we also developed a way to soft handover from satellite to terrestrial networks, so extending that to Manx Telecom's roaming solution makes for a perfect synergy between what Manx Telecom has developed and the capability of Globalstar's Sat-Fi offering, with its clever switching between different types of radio systems.'So, EMN/FRAN is primarily aimed at the average user or first responder who under normal circumstances could not justify having a standalone dedicated satellite communications device, but for whom it would be very helpful to have that capability on their mobile device,' says Buckle.'The neat trick with this system,' he continues, 'is it allows you to operate a combined cellular and satellite service now based on the infrastructure that is already in place. It does not require new infrastructure to be installed beforehand. And as that infrastructure increases and evolves, this technology will allow you to take advantage of it, but you are not dependent on it.'SynergiesSimon Taylor, business development manager, Manx Telecom, adds: 'The synergies that exist between us are very much aligned because we are both about providing critical connectivity. We target our Chameleon Smart SIM solution with its multi-operator roaming agreement at first responders in the blue light sector, lone workers, utility field staff, construction workers, veterinary services, business executives and other people who tend to move around a lot, work off-grid or in not-spots.'This was the whole premise for our Chameleon Direct product – the UK's first multi-network "strongest signal" mobile service to be offered directly to end users. Both we and Globalstar were looking to further target people who want to be in touch anytime, anywhere. We could see the synergies and Bob and Intelcomm helped with the technical side to bring that all together.'For Manx Telecom and Globalstar, the key attraction of EMN is that it extends both their footprints. A lot of Globalstar's customers are currently maritime, while Manx Telecom's customers are land based.'So, the two of us coming together benefits both parties in terms of extending our reach to new customers, markets and segments, which we can now address, whereas previously our individual solutions may have been unsuitable or not quite complete enough,' explains Taylor.He adds that both firms are being careful to protect their existing businesses and not cannibalise them. 'The service needs to be unique and it's not for those who simply need an affordable satellite handset – as you can get that service from Globalstar already.'O'Connell agrees: 'The commercial fishing industry is very much solely a satellite service and that will continue to work that way. What EMN and FRAN offers terrestrial customers, who may have a satellite requirement, is a very accessible satellite option that remains within their existing telecoms bill,' says O'Connell.'The object of the exercise is to bundle the services in a way that ensures it is not excessively expensive, because it is in our interest to have as many users as possible,' notes Buckle.The Sat-Fi unitThe key bit of kit required for FRAN is the already mentioned Sat-Fi product, developed by Globalstar and Intelcomm. Sat-Fi is a VoIP to satellite bridge or gateway that turns a smartphone or other wireless device into a satellite phone.Users download and install the Sat-Fi App to their phone and connect it to the Sat-Fi gateway via a Wi-Fi connection. The Sat-Fi then links the phone to the Globalstar low-earth orbit satellite network, enabling both voice and data connectivity.The Sat-Fi is designed for both vehicle-based and fixed locations. It allows for multiple simultaneous user connections. While only one satellite call can be made at a time, up to eight users may connect to a single Sat-Fi sharing its satellite data connection.A user can pick up a rented vehicle and install a Sat-Fi unit within 5-10 minutes on a mag mount and it will provide a bubble of connectivity around the vehicle. According to Buckle, the antenna on the Sat-Fi unit will provide a coverage range of about 100m, but with an external antenna, that can be increased to about a kilometre and a half.'Within that range you have a neat box of interconnectivity between anyone connected to it. It acts as a mini-hub for device-to-device connectivity completely off-grid. Device-to-device on a mobile phone using the Sat-Fi unit is a pretty neat trick in itself – an inbound call will just route straight through to you.'It is also intelligent in as much as users can deploy two or three Sat-Fi gateways and mesh them together to provide a totally dynamic off-the-grid network,' says Buckle, who adds that another aspect of the service is that it supports push-to-talk (PTT) applications familiar to first responders and PMR users.Go-to-market approachSo, how will EMN/FRAN be taken to market? Manx Telecom's Simon Taylor says: 'Our route to market plan is to go through channel re-sellers as we already do. We will promote the service, undertake business development, identify target markets and utilise our existing relationships.'For example, we already supply some first responders with our Chameleon Direct product – a self-service Manx Telecom SIM you can buy on a contract through our portal. Private ambulance services already have a convenient multi-network SIM through us.'But this new EMN service is much more suited to value-added re-sellers and solutions providers, as no two solutions or requirements are likely to be the same. You can just plug-and-play the service into your vehicle, but we have also lined up a professional installations company too, as some users will want a permanent installation,' says Taylor.Manx Telecom already has 60 partners for its Smart SIM solutions; travel SIM's, M2M/IoT solutions and so on, and Taylor says some of those partners have already expressed interest in being a channel partner for EMN/FRAN.Buckle says: 'The thing is to try and bring it to market in the most straightforward way possible, and I don't mean that technically. The challenge commercially is to market FRAN in a way that makes the proposition easy to understand. We need to ensure that we remove the threat of bill shock for those not familiar with using satellite services.'Commercial packagesIn terms of what the commercial packages might look like, the team is looking at a bundle or series of bundles (although not too many). The team's job is to make sure users grasp the simple fact that they can take their own device, port their existing number, connect to the service, and not worry about whether they are on terrestrial or satellite.'They will have a single supplier, a single bill, a single integrated network and the necessary visibility of what they are using and when,' says Taylor.'The beauty of the system is that it will work wherever the customer wants it, when they want it and we will take care of everything behind the scenes in terms of the commercials. It would be similar to buying any mobile bundle from an MNO, like 500 minutes a month.'Buckle adds a proviso: 'That said; there will be users or organisations that will spend a disproportionate amount of their time in remote areas of the UK like Scotland or parts of Yorkshire, for example.'For those kinds of users, because of where they are going to use this service, it may be in their best interest and ours that we both know there will be a higher than average usage of satellite. So, we may have alternative bundles for people who want a higher than average percentage of out of cellular coverage usage - and knowingly so.' 'That's why the trials this summer are so important,' interjects Globalstar's O'Connell, 'as it will allow us to make these kinds of assessments and develop appropriate bundles.'Taylor says that they are looking to sign up organisations for trials right now to work with them to understand their requirements and help shape the commercial tariffs. 'We are beta testing in June/July and we are looking at commercial availability a month or two after that – so probably Q3 commercially, when we will be able to say: here's the price list.'O'Connell sums up: 'The core point of our FRAN announcement is that this is a first responder offering, but by that we mean all kinds of first responders. ESN will take care of the primary first responders in police, fire and ambulance.'What FRAN will do is ensure that other responders will also have communications anywhere and that is the important point behind the Globalstar alliance with Manx Telecom – it brings satellite and cellular together and offers a very good solution for first responders and others who work remotely.'

Dena Hammerstein was for many years a devoted volunteer who brought sick children out to the theater, believing in the healing powers of the performing arts. In 1999, Hammerstein founded Only Make Believe, which brings free theater to chronically ill kids and those with disabilities. The organization now serves more than 50 hospitals throughout NYC and has reached more than 25,000 kids.
Only Make Believe's interactive live performances allow children to perform alongside professional actors, transporting them from the hospital to a world of their imagination. "It is a terrific escape from the daily life of being in a hospital," Hammerstein says. "Kids are free to fly and do activities that are usually not available."
Kids often take center stage in performances. Charlie Samuels
The organization, which has received celebrity support from actors including Jude Law, Julia Stiles, and Mike Meyers, also helps children build self-esteem and allows them to express themselves in creative ways, Hammerstein says. "I have seen kids sing a song we taught them before going into surgery and children speaking in social situations that are usually mute."
Each hour-long performance includes three professional actors who perform a specially written show with a theme song and a trunk full of props and costumes. The shows are performed in a six-week series, and each week features a new performance. "The kids and the actors get to know each other this way and all get to take a bow together at the end," Hammerstein says.
With a mission to reach as many kids in hospitals as possible, Only Make Believe recently expanded to the Washington, D.C. area. Hammerstein says she hopes to eventually bring Only Make Believe to kids across the U.S and internationally.
