Some stories don't really fit into a particular genre.
Currently in work is a novel about Sifa and Peter. It's a story of family, misunderstandings, pain, and love.
Latest News
- Sifa and Peter On Hold (9/16/2017)
I am putting my first novel, Sifa and Peter, on the back burner for now while I hone my writing skills. It's become evident that the novel is rather intricate for a first novel. Take a look at my story premise:
A young woman damaged by her childhood and too eager to please, as well as a mother grieving from a damaging and traumatic genetic legacy of blood clotting, and a hard-working but selfish cousin, come together in during a family member's crisis, coming to terms with not only family secrets but their past, their flaws, and the true desires of their hearts.
I'm going to take some time for shorter works. More on that to come.
- Writing Tidbit: Hurricane (Revised and Expanded) (7/8/2017)
Rain fell in a heavy cascade onto the windshield, a veritable waterfall that wipers battled in a futile effort. She peered cautiously ahead. Even at this slow speed, the wind still buffeted the car and shook it constantly. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she jerked the wheel back and forth in small, tight motions in a fight to keep the car in a relatively straight line.
"Just a little rain," she said out loud. "What an idiot!" Her sarcasm echoed oddly, competing against the sounds of the beating rain in the otherwise empty SUV. "The idiot formerly known as my manager," she added.
Her manager had seemed a decent enough guy when she had hired on last month, but in the last few hours her respect for him had plunged.
A stronger gust slammed into the car, causing it to shudder. She winced and gripped the steering wheel tighter, thankful for the bigger mass of the SUV rental.
Her whitened knuckles were a testament not only to the fury of the storm but also her fear barely held at bay.
Departing hotel employees, the latest weather report, and a late burst of sanity had finally prompted her departure, but drunk co-workers celebrating the hurricane waylaid her in the lobby. It took precious minutes to extricate herself and drive away.
Now the storm was almost on top of them all.
- Writing Excerpt: Sifa and Peter, Scene 1 (6/10/2017)
The two cousins completed their cooldown and headed back to Peter's car. She breathed in the crisp air, craning her head to look up at the vibrant autumn light shining through the leaves. Far overhead in the blue sky a V of ducks headed southwest, honking faintly in the distance.
She suddenly pitched forward. Peter grabbed her arm to steady her just in time. "Careful!" he chuckled. "That sidewalk crack just attacked your foot."
She ducked her head and blushed beet-red as her phone rang.
"Hi, Mom!" In the next instant, she collapsed onto a nearby bench, her face now unnervingly pale.
- Writing Excerpt: Sifa and Peter (5/20/2017)
The two cousins ran in silence born of long familiarity, finishing the last leg of their usual route as the sunrise glinted across the lake. Neither spoke until they were back in Peter's car. Sifa leaned back against the headrest with her eyes closed as Peter started the car. After a moment, she looked over at her cousin in the driver's seat.
"No problem." He paused with one hand on the keys in the ignition. "What for?"
"I'm just really glad you're you."
Peter ducked his head in a short nod, then he whirled a hand in the air with a flourish as he said, "Well, I'm awesome. See, I put up with you."
Sifa punched him lightly in the upper arm.
"Ow! No hitting the driver."
"The car hasn't even started yet, you doofus," she laughed.
- Writing Status: S&P Progress (4/22/2017)
The first part, of three parts, of my novel about Sifa and Peter, is shaping up nicely. I feel like the section now builds the characters and builds up tensions for the upcoming conflicts in a decent way. I'm still struggling a bit with Laura's story — how much to reveal about her personal tragedy in the first part. How much allusion versus specific detail should be included? How much should I unravel, or unveil, about her problems? After all, her story is not as prominent as Sifa's, or Peter's.
I may have finally found someone to review Peter's work scene, someone who knows of the profession Peter has in the book. We'll see!
- Writing Tidbit: Hurricane (2/11/2017)
A waterfall of rain cascaded over the windshield, the wipers battling futilely. She peered ahead cautiously, driving slowly and rocking the steering wheel side-to-side in tight, white-knuckled motion as she fought the winds.
- Writing Tidbit: The Tree (1/14/2017)
The tree stood as a large sentinel on the land jutting into the bay. It spread its large branches across higher ground slowly swelling from the flat land around, too gradual to be called a hill.
- Character Arcs and Story Structure (11/19/2016)
In addition to writing, I've been doing more research into story structure.
The problem is, my story doesn't quite fit the standard model, as each of the three character arcs is well-formed enough to have its own introduction-conflict-resolution — but not at the same points in the overall story. I think I can strengthen each character's arc to be more of a solid story, though.
As with all writing advice, I'm going to let it sink in and discard what doesn't apply.
I also may have too many scenes that are too short. I'll be looking at scene structure over the next month.
- Journal Excerpt: The Casual Spies (10/22/2016)
Why was she always such a dork in front of this man?
She went on.
"We were in the office. I was giggling with the other two office girls, typing away on a laptop. I was about to connect the special laptop when suddenly a manager came out of his office (it was a pocket office, not off the main corridor we had checked). We had no idea anyone else was left!"
"I had done a lot of giggling, explaining I had to fix the laptop before Monday."
"The guy grabbed the special laptop to put it away. I looked at the time, saying I had to go, to come back the next day. My boyfriend (the same one I had chatted up with the girls about my mom not knowing about) was coming."
"The guy was so suspicious. He found a bug on the edge of the keyboard. I was so wide-eyed and surprised."
"I thought I wouldn't make out, but Matt strolled right in and collected me. He was pretending to be the boyfriend."
The elevator doors dinged.
"And where is he now?" he growled.
- First Draft Almost Complete (6/18/2016)
My first draft is almost complete. I'm so close I can see the light of day at the end of the tunnel. And it won't be a train wreck! Well, only so much as first drafts are always train wrecks.
Then, it will be time to revise, and revise. I'm still not happy with Kindra's profession. As a dynamic, assertive, no holds-barred, best friend of our protagonist, none of my job choices for her seem to fit: personal assistant to a wealthy woman, a marketing director (too close to Sifa's profession), international spy, retail sales… maybe a nurse?
- Short Clips from the Novel (5/21/2016)
I had to cherry-pick some of these clips to avoid spoilers. Enjoy!
She breathed in the crisp air of fall as she craned her head up. The vibrant light shone through the leaves. Overhead in a blue sky a V of ducks headed southwest, honking faintly in the distance. Autumn was one of her favorite seasons.
They sat, mother and daughter, in silence together in the dull beige waiting room. They watched the hospital staff walking back and forth. Sunlight streamed in a small window nearby, dimmed more and more by clouds passing. The wind was picking up and tossing the tops of the trees back and forth.
Friday night came, and the crew were hard at work. Just outside town an accident sprawled across two lanes of interstate. Cars slowly edged by in the farthermost lane, traffic already heavy for tomorrow's festival made heavier by the accident. The sky darkened, and the wind picked up speed.
- Yellow Stone Church: A Journal Excerpt (4/1/2016)
I've mentioned that many of my ideas come from dreams. Earlier this year I woke up after dreaming up a setting. No full story, mind you, but just a very specific location. Here's what I wrote up in my writing journal:
They had found a new location for their little church.
A road dead-ended into a yellow stone plaza. Around was an entire complex of made of yellow stone mortared into place hundreds of years ago.
To the west were the doors to an old little church, built into the larger complex. It was also made of yellow stone, but the thick, tall doors were made of solid dark wood smooth from the ages.
The doors were about six feet tall, but over the doors was a built-in pediment of sorts, made of the same wood, curving up and over the doors in a half-moon arching over the door. Inside the half-moon were two quarters of stained glass, small but blending in nicely over the doors. The whole entrance was about nine feet tall.
Across the courtyard to east was a tall wall, about fourteen feet tall, also mortared with yellow brick. It ran from the courtyard northwards, pacing the edge of the street for at least a block until the street cornered to the left. Southwards, the wall ended in a large archway, opening onto some greenery. A path on the other side of the walls lead north through the trees along the hilly banks of the river. The path soon curves and slopes downwards, meeting the river's edge, water lapping peacefully.
If you continue south from the courtyard, passing the archway and enticing path by, You pass by some small rooms of the complex built into the south side of the courtyard. This part of the complex rises at least two floors above the courtyard and attaches to the southeast edge of the church, continuing along the south side of the church.
Past this narrow wing, you face directly to the south, where another, slightly wider wing of the complex has windows out onto the park on the east side, and windows out on to a small lane running north-south on the west side. The small lane is bordered on the other side by a canal.
Another courtyard of sorts faces you as you turn west. On this little section of land are several small outbuildings. The one on the right, closest to the narrow wing, is for the church building.
Behind the sheds the water of the canal laps peacefully.
- Character Notes: Laura Havenaugh (3/5/2016)
Here are more notes from my novel in work, this time in connection with Sifa's mother, Laura Havenaugh. Want to know more? Have a suggestion? Feel free to comment below.
A somewhat short, somewhat thin, not-fat woman with long dark hair, slightly curly. Light olive skin. Suffers from inherited genetic problems including excessive blood clotting that caused her miscarriages. The genetic problems were probably due from ancestral inbreeding in a small rural community in the hills.
- Sifa and Peter: A Note about Sifa (2/26/2016)
My upcoming novel has a full cast of characters. The Havenaugh family includes our protagonist, Sifa: her mother, Laura, and her father, Mac.
Sifa is blonde, twenty-three, thin, of medium height. She is a little shallow in terms of her relationships and is too easy to please. She rationalizes these faults in terms of her faith, but it really is due to selfishness and fear.
Circumstances force her to mature.
- Back to Sifa and Peter (2/22/2016)
Now that my short story is submitted, I'm back to development on my novel about Sifa and Peter. I had already written the core scenes, so my next pass through will be adding more of the settings for each scene. I also need to develop some secondary characters in the story. Sifa's mother may have a story more predominant than I thought.
- Sifa and Peter: A Novel (2/20/2016)
Currently in development is a novel about family, tragedies, and falling in love. It's about coming of age, about fears, about secrets. It's about genetic defects and illness. It's about love and happiness.
More about the cast of characters soon.

1000000000 (number)
1,000,000,000 (one billion, short scale; one thousand million or milliard, long scale) is the natural number following 999,999,999 and preceding 1,000,000,001. In scientific notation, it is written as 10. A billion traditionally equated to one million, million, (1,000,000,000,000) though the short scale (American English) billion of merely one thousand million (1,000,000,000) has been adopted in finance and increasingly in other fields.

Alcohol-related visits to ED up sharply
The number of patients visiting the Southland Hospital's emergency department for alcohol-related injuries has almost doubled in the past three years.
Figures obtained under the Official Information Act from the Southern District Health Board show 279 people visited ED with alcohol-related injuries between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010. This increased to 400 in the 2010-11 year and to 436 in the 2011-12 year.
The revelation follows other unsavoury evidence of alcohol-related issues in the south which have come to light in recent days.
A Southland teen recorded the highest breath alcohol reading in the country last year; the Southern district had the highest apprehension rate for drivers aged under 20; and more than half of 25 Southland hotels and liquor outlets have been caught red-handed selling liquor to under 18s in the past two police stings.
However, Southland Area Commander Inspector Lane Todd said the region's alcohol-related arrests and hospital visits were no worse than anywhere else.
"I think, overall, our region is comparable with other areas," he said.
Reducing alcohol offences and the harm associated with alcohol would be a big focus for southern police during the next three years, Mr Todd said.
"We have the Prevention First Strategy that recognises alcohol is a driver of crime," he said.
"Alcohol is a significant factor in not only drink driving but family violence and assault."
Controlled policing operations and continued traffic units and highway patrols were all part of trying to reduce alcohol injuries and crime through prevention, Mr Todd said.
A health board spokeswoman said there were a number of issues faced by young people including drug and alcohol addiction.
Some of those issues included peer pressure to drink, conflict with parents, angry impulsive behaviour, low self-esteem, increased gang affiliation and cheap alcohol.
People also indulged in other harmful substances, which led to other addictions, she said.
Patients being treated for alcohol addiction or issues had also increased at Southland Hospital, from 911 in 2009/10 to 1166 this year, the health board figures show.
Nga Kete Matauranga Pounamu Charitable Trust manager Tracey Wright said the number of patients with alcohol issues at its premises had increased in the past year.
The organisation generally carries out about 2800 one-on-one alcohol and drug counselling sessions a year - but the past year it had increased to about 3518 sessions.
They also run two group sessions a week, she said.
"People come from all walks of life ... all sorts of backgrounds and needs."

Sitting on a bench in the Concourse, I watch her from a distance. I see her tilt her head back and laugh. She is one of the few people that could make me laugh. She has four different laughs, you know. One is a childish giggle that she knows will make other people laugh at her; one is when something she heard or saw isn't really funny but she lets out a soft chuckle to make you think she thought it was funny; another one is when she's laughing real hard about something, like an old memory, it's a silent laugh, all you can see is her stomach moving up and down; and the last one is when something is suddenly funny, she lets out a short and very loud cackle. That's the one she's doing now. She's absolutely beautiful to me. At first I didn't think so, but my mind quickly changed. She lights up a room with her presence and energy. She has made some of my roughest days better by just flashing me a smile or touching my hand. She's full of spunk and just seemed to enjoy life. Nothing like me. I'm realistic, which most people see as being negative and cynical. I'm confident, or cocky as others would say, and I know what I want. I'm not afraid to hurt anyone's feelings or tell anyone what I think about them. This has gotten me into some bad situations. The only things that I find complete joy in are listening to or playing music and working out. We were complete opposites. She says goodbye to her friend. Probably a sorority sister. She starts walking down the Concourse sidewalk. Probably going to choir or her voice lesson. But she has to walk by the bench I'm sitting on… Her life now is probably everything she ever wanted. Although she struggled some first semester with everything that was going on. A senior now, she changed her major to Music Theater and seems much more content. She pledged Zeta Tau Alpha her sophomore year, which was exciting for her because all freshman year she complained about not having rushed. She also made University Singers her sophomore year and was ecstatic about that. She screamed so loud after she read the letter, my eardrum popped. She looks absolutely amazing on stage during any performance. You can just tell that she loves doing it. And unfortunately, she's also been dating the "man of her dreams" for about a year and a half now. (She told me he was the man of her dreams back when we were freshman and she made googley eyes at him all the time.) His name is Chris Cravey, a Sigma Chi, also in Singers and a fifth year senior in Wireless Engineering. He's crazy about her too… My heart starts pounding harder as she gets closer and closer. Will she say anything to me? I look down at the ground, afraid to face her. As I have been for the past two and a half years. My biggest fear is that she won't ever talk to me again. She's done a pretty good job of that so far. When I look back up, she has already passed my bench. My heart fell to the ground. I wonder if she even saw me… Although she seems happy now, there was a moment in her life where her whole world fell apart. And I just happened to be around for that.
I met her freshman year because we were both Music Education majors. I didn't socialize with anyone in our classes, but at the end of first semester, I saw her at a party and that started our adventure. She made it a point to talk to me every day after that. We began hanging out beyond our music classes. She seemed to know everyone and always knew where parties were every weekend. The one thing I quickly found out… she liked to drink. Not just socially, she liked to get drunk. I never told her flat out to her face, but I absolutely hated it. When she was drunk she became loud and annoying and never made any sense, and honestly, I think it makes girls look trashy. Soon she figured out that I didn't like her drinking and we had many talks about it. One weekend she promised me she wouldn't drink because I didn't believe that she could do it. We stayed in that night and after a little hesitation… ended up having the hottest and sweatiest nights I'd had in a long time. Tongues were flyin', hands were roamin', and clothes were thrown all over my brother's empty bedroom. She went crazy over my body, kissing me everywhere, tracing my muscles with her fingers and practically clawing the skin off my back. That kind of turned me on though. When we finally broke apart to get some air, she told me that that was the best time she'd had sober in awhile. It kind of hurt me to know that she believes getting drunk will help her have a better time. But if I'm the one that helps keep her sober, especially by doing what we did, then I'm willing to do it anytime she wants. She fell asleep in my arms and I just watched her. That night I thought a lot about us. I went back and forth trying to figure out if we'd be good for each other. Even though I had just gotten out of a three year relationship before I started college, I wanted another relationship. And that night I questioned if she could actually do it. I knew she didn't want to settle down. She was the ultimate party girl and I didn't want to have to deal with everything that comes with that. The drinking, the other guys, the drama, worrying if she's cheating on me, taking care of her if she gets 'sick.' But I couldn't talk myself into giving her up. I knew I couldn't let her go… So we started off slow. Just hanging out with friends and doing stupid things like watching movies or getting ice cream. But we could never stop flirting. I began taking her out on official 'dress up' dates to nice restaurants and the movies. We also went out on casual dates to go bowling or go to the lake. She always thought of the most interesting things to do, which kept me entertained and interested in her. We played in the waterfall at Chewacla Park, walked dogs around at the Humane Society, went golfing, played in the rain, she even took me mud ridin'. Even boring things were fun, like just laying out with her or going to a museum. She even made me get a pedicure one day. One exciting night we made out in an aisle at the library and another time in a dressing room at the mall. She told me all the time that she loved kissing me. And I loved kissing her. I always liked how when we stopped kissing, she'd look me dead in the eye and smile at me, like it was the best kiss she'd ever had. We never really talked about dating and I got so tired of everyone in the music department asking me. Partly because I didn't know myself. But I knew she would freak out if I mentioned the word. And as much as I wanted to date, I didn't want to lose what we had. I guess you could say we were "casually dating" till the end of the year. But I had to go back to Montgomery and she stayed in Auburn for the summer. The distance didn't really affect us. I planned on having a dull summer working and
playing with my band. We talked on the phone almost every day and hung out as much as we could. At first it was only for a couple of hours to shop at East Chase or to go see a movie. She came to watch our band play a few gigs. She met my family and after awhile, spent a couple of nights over at my house. And I came back to Auburn and spent the night with her at her new apartment at the Garden District. My family really liked her with her bubbly personality. My dad thought she was the cutest thing. My mom giggled at all of her crazy stories and loved girl talking with her (she never got to with our family because there's two boys). And my older brother thought she was gorgeous. They told me they noticed that I smile more when we're together or even when I talk about her. Which is good because for awhile Mom thought I was depressed. So did I. Until her. A multitude of students start walking toward the Concourse. I keep my head down. What does it matter if she walks this way again? She won't stop. It's the same every time I see her. There were only the few stragglers left walking on the Concourse. I heard footsteps coming closer to me. Someone with very dirty Rainbows stopped in front of me. I looked up. My heart dropped. She had no expression on her face. And her once gorgeous dark blue eyes looked empty and soulless. I slowly stood up and looked away. I couldn't look her in the eyes. The thing you don't know is… I killed her parents. Even though it was two and a half years ago, I still remember every moment. It was Christmas break of our sophomore year. She was in the process of changing majors to Music Theater, so we didn't have as many classes together. Or as much time. She had rushed a sorority and had made AU Singers. Our time was now limited to just eating a meal together or a quick chat at my house before she had to rush off to do something. I know she enjoyed being busy and especially enjoyed every Singers performance, but it was killing me. All those relaxing, care-free moments of lying around on her bed, or watching a pointless TV show, or wasting film by making stupid faces, or singing to music, were gone. I usually got one day of the weekend to be with her. I loved the time we spent together as I always did, but now she seemed distracted by what she had coming up in the next week or exhausted by what she had done the previous week. Even if we were just watching a movie, she'd fall asleep halfway through it. We started getting in more arguments and I was also getting sexually frustrated. So one night I decided something had to change. We discussed it and decided Christmas break would be a good thing for us because we could be away from each other. But halfway through break I couldn't stand it and drove to Auburn to be with her. That was a fantastic night. I let my guard down and we had sex for the first time. And it was wonderful. I never thought she'd be the one I'd let take my virginity, but I just couldn't help myself when I saw her. My parents didn't know that I drove to Auburn, so I had to drive back to Montgomery that Saturday night before they woke up for church. I was speeding, doing almost 90 mph on I-65, and it was raining hard.
I fell asleep for a second and veered into the other lane of oncoming traffic. You wouldn't think a lot of cars would be on the interstate at three o'clock in the morning… I heard a horn blowing, popped up, saw bright lights, slammed on the brakes and hydroplaned. My Jeep turned, hitting the other car and pushed it over the rail of a bridge. I sat in my car for a second, in shock, trying to understand what just happened. Then, I jumped out of my car and ran to the rail. The car's tires were facing up. All these thoughts were running through my head at once. "Omigod… I just killed someone… I'm a murderer… I just got in a wreck… My parents are going to kill me… I'll probably go to jail… What do I do?... I'm going to die… I just killed someone!" The ambulances came and somehow got the bodies out of the other car and rushed them to EAMC anyways. The police scoped out the other car. 'Yep,' one said, 'I think they're dead.' Five people were talking to me at once, but all I could think about was that it wasn't my fault. Within the next hour, I was at EAMC back in Auburn getting treated for a few cuts and bruises. I was on the Emergency Room floor, sitting in an exam room when I heard two men telling someone that their parents were killed in a car accident on the interstate. I heard the girl scream out loud in complete pain and sorrow which ripped my heart apart. I had to see who it was. I had to see the face of the girl whose parents I killed. I stepped out of the room. And froze. I lost my breath. My heart pounded in my ears and I felt completely paralyzed. It was her. She was in a chair bawling her eyes out, still screaming. I killed her parents. I couldn't even begin to describe how utterly horrible I felt. She looked up at me. Her eyes red and puffy. Two black lines of mascara looked painted on her tan cheeks. A look of relief flashed across her face. "Hey…" I squeaked out. She got up, walked over to me and practically ran head first into my chest. Her arms wrapped tightly around my waist, while her chest heaved up and down with her sobs. I slowly put my arms around her. Literally afraid to move. I then realized… she didn't know I did it. What was I supposed to do? I couldn't just blurt it out. And I couldn't tell her right then; she was devastated and looked awful. After a couple of minutes, her crying didn't cease, but she calmed down a little. She pulled back, wiped her eyes and looked me in the eye. "What are you doing here?" She asked, with a puzzled look on her face. "I… uh… "I stammered. "No one knows I'm here. I didn't tell anyone… as soon as I got the phone call, I rushed straight over here. How did you know?" She questioned me. But before I could answer her, a policeman walked up to us.
"Miss… "He said. She turned her gaze to the policeman. "We looked up the driver of the car that hit your parents. License plate 43H409B. The car is a 2001 gray Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo…" I swallowed, but there was a huge lump in my throat. "The driver is a young male, 19 years old, says he was driving home to Montgomery when he hydroplaned and hit your parents' car…" I held my breath. "His name is…" I shut my eyes. "No." She said. My eyes popped open. She was still facing the policeman, but her eyes were closed. A single tear rolled down her right cheek. I wanted to so badly to lift my hand up and wipe it away. "I don't want to know his name." She said. The policeman walked away. She opened her eyes, but didn't look at me. I could see her eyes fill up with more tears. "It was you…" she whispered. I didn't move. She turned and looked me dead in the eye. Her eyes literally pierced my soul. A mixture of pain, love, sadness, and anger was in them. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "That's why you're here…" she said. I couldn't think of anything to say. What would I say? What should I do? The pain that I felt just standing there, watching her hurt, this girl I loved more than anyone, knowing I couldn't do anything to help her when I was supposed to be the one to comfort her when she's upset… that pain was worse than anything I've ever felt. I never wanted to feel that way again. Now she knew it was me. How could she ever forgive me… She turned around and walked away. Leaving me standing there. Never saying another word. My heart broke right then. And I knew things would never be the same. I would never be the same. Without her…
I've spent the last two and a half years trying to get some kind of life together. As you already know, she moved on. I tried to. But like I said, things weren't the same; school, my social life, and especially my love life. I went back to my old "depressed" ways. And mom made me go to therapy. Now, this beautiful girl that was once mine, with her long brown hair and dark blue eyes was standing in front of me. I finally looked at her. I wish she was still mine. She stepped forward and put her arms around me. This once familiar embrace, scared the hell out of me now. I slowly lifted my arms and placed them on her back. I felt her heartbeat on my chest. It was racing. She lifted her hand and placed it on my neck, gently pulling my head down. I had no idea what she was doing. She put her head next to mine. I felt her warm breath on my ear which sent a tingle down my spine. "I forgive you." She whispered. Then she kissed me on the cheek, took a step back, looked me once more in the eyes and walked away.

Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ: LULU) had a good quarter, but the stock didn't trade higher, explained Cramer. He is willing to take a risk and buy it at its current price.

Posted on January 19, 2014 in Web Design
Recently I was at a family members house where they had recently remodeled their bathroom. It looks beautiful with new countertops, shower, and water-saving toilet.
On top of this toilet is a dual-flush set of buttons – one large and one small – clustered together like pictured below. You can push one, the other, or both simultaneously.
I completely understand that one saves more water than the other, but I'm missing some kind of indication of what I should do. I have several questions for this flushing system:
Without any kind of clarifying indication, I am unsure what will happen when I press these buttons, either individually or together. Perhaps a diagram is necessary for proper use?
Or even better, a simple full/half flush icon would suffice.
(And while we're at it, can we standardize the sides? Maybe left for half flush, right for full flush.. always?)
When designing our interfaces for users unfamiliar with the functions of our designs, we must ensure that the sequence of events is clear enough for the user to take the correct action.

Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Concentrating on Coastal Pines Technical College admission GPA, for example, may give you an advantage in corporate recruiting being conducted on-campus. Check with the admissions office for course registration deadlines, and college admissions program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Coastal Pines Technical College.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Finally, take time to read instructions carefully, and pay close attention. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass.
For multiple-choice tests like the SAT Test or ACT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Test makers like to group the real answers with confusing choices nearby, so if the first answer is too obvious, it's probably a decoy. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Texarkana College evaluations for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I can't wait to show this to Levi tomorrow! So cute! I cracked up at the end. Sometimes Levi likes to sing with me and other times he yells "no singing" especially in the car. He likes to listen to kids music cd's, but does not like me to sing in the car! lol

No sing it! I hear that a lot also. Love the video, Piper. And I believe that last comment was "It my job". ;)

Islamic State militants pull out of their last stronghold, bringing Iraqi federal forces within sight of a significant victory.
A former government complex in the Iraqi city of Ramadi has been "totally encircled" by federal forces battling Islamic State militants, according to a spokesman.
IS fighters are said to be pulling out of the city, the capital of Iraq's Anbar province, after defending it for several days.
Government forces launched a major push to break the militant group's hold on the city, but were initially slowed by snipers, suicide attackers and roadside bombs.
Yahya Rasool, joint-operations command spokesman, said: "We're clearing the buildings and streets around the complex of bombs in preparation to go in.
"I expect we will go into the complex in about an hour," he added.
Iraq's Counter Terrorism Services (CTS) and the army advanced through the city and reached a key intersection in the Hoz neighbourhood, the area which houses the complex, the recapture of which would provide a boost to the hopes of fully recapturing Ramadi.
"All Daesh (IS) fighters have left. There is no resistance. The operation is almost wrapped up," said Iraq's counter-terrorism services (CTS) spokesman Sabah al-Numan.
"CTS has cleared Hoz neighbourhood in central Ramadi completely and arrived near the government complex," he added.
Iraqi forces backed by US-led coalition air strikes advanced into the centre of Ramadi after months of preparation, in a final push to retake the city they lost in May.
The fighting over the past two days had been concentrated around the government complex.
According to medical sources in Baghdad, 93 members of the security forces were brought in with injuries on Sunday alone.
"The dead bodies are taken directly to the main military hospital near the airport," said one hospital source.
Ali Dawood, the head of the neighbouring Khaldiya council, said IS fighters used civilians as human shields to slip out of the complex.
"Daesh fighters forced all the families living around the compound to go with them in order to flee towards Sichariyah, Sufiya and Jweiba," on the eastern outskirts of Ramadi, he said.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Employing part-time workers is one of the fastest-growing trends in the U.S. economy, although many economists would argue it's a trend that's bad news for those workers and the economy. Either way, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the number of employees willing to work part-time has risen by 80 percent, to to 7.9 million, since 2006. On a statewide basis, part-time work is off the charts. California, for example, has seen its part-time "involuntary" employment figures swell by 126 percent over the same period, to 1.3 million. Florida and Nevada report similar figures. The trend is all about cost savings to companies. The vast majority of part-time workers don't qualify for health care benefits and retirement plans, and that saves companies from having to pay for those costs, says Elizabeth Cogswell Baskin, president and CEO of internal communications agency Tribe, an Atlanta employee culture and engagement services firm. Cogswell Baskin says that recent changes in health care laws are moving many industries, including hospitality and retail, toward hiring part-time workers instead of full-time ones. Many companies are even cutting part-time workers' hours to 29 hours a week "to avoid paying health insurance required of those working 30." "Because of those reduced hours, employees may be forced to take on two or more part-time jobs," she says. What are part-time staffers getting out of the deal -- aside from 15 or 20 hours of work per week? And what do they want from their employers to keep them engaged, productive and reasonably happy?

The problem with tobacco sales and credit cards is that visa/mastercard etc can no longer accept tobacco sales online for cigarettes. All the companies i used to buy from online will now only take personal checks or automatic withdrawal from a checking/savings account.Heidi

Elizabeth M. Rutter 90, Luther Acres resident, volunteer
Having lived her life as a servant of Jesus Christ, Elizabeth M. Rutter is now praising her Lord in Heaven.
Elizabeth passed away at Lancaster General Hospital Nov. 27, 2012 at the age of 90 years and four months.
She was the daughter of Edward W. and Emma Crawford Dietsch of Philadelphia. She was the loving wife of the late Rev. Dr. Richard M. Rutter, to whom she was married for 61 years.
At Lutheran churches in Lehighton, Conyngham, Millersville, Everett and Breezewood, where her husband served as pastor, Betty was the perfect minister's wife. After living in Gettysburg, they moved to Lititz in 1983 and spent their final years at Luther Care Retirement Community.
Always a caring and giving person, Betty volunteered at Lancaster General Hospital and the Luther Acres physical therapy department and grocery store. She visited the sick and shut-ins and brought joy to all. Her travels to England and Germany were treasured memories, as were her annual vacations with her family to Ocean City, N.J. She also enjoyed Philadelphia Eagles 'Bash' parties with family and friends, shaking her pom-poms at each touchdown.
Elizabeth is survived by her two sons: Richard M. Rutter Jr., husband of Janice, Lancaster; and John L. Rutter, husband of Deborah, Lititz. Also surviving are four grandchildren: Richard E. Rutter, husband of Roxanne, Columbia; Mark E. Rutter, husband of Jennifer, Rothsville; Tina, wife of Mark Kirsten, Lancaster; and Matthew E. Rutter, husband of Amy, Columbia; 10 great-grandchildren; and one great-great granddaughter. She is also survived by a sister: Dorothy Fairweather, Philadelphia; four nieces; and three nephews.
She was predeceased by her brothers: Edward W. Dietsch, Jr. and Howard A. Dietsch.
A celebration of life service will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 200 W.Orange St., Lititz, on Dec. 8, at 11 a.m. with the Rev. James R. Gable, Jr. and the Rev. E. Walter Cleckley, Jr. as the celebrants. A luncheon will follow the service.
Interment will be private at the convenience of the family. Kindly omit flowers. Memorial remembrances may be made in Elizabeth's memory to St. Paul Lutheran Church, Lititz; or Luther Care, 600 E. Main St., Lititz, PA 17543.

Hi, there. This is your fellow friendly cancer survivor sitting in her chair, trying not to gain weight, planning a reheating of leftovers, and wondering when she can pour herself a crisp glass of Chardonnay. No, wait. I am trying for one glass and not TWO today, because there seems to be some evidence (can't pin it down yet) that alcohol consumption can contribute to Secondary Cancers. REALLY? Bad enough we had 3 Primary Cancers (Uterine, Stage 1, carcinoid tumor 2.1 cm., Ovarian Stage 1), but now I have to fret myself silly about Secondary Cancers? What the hell?
I gather that could be anything from: colon, bladder, lung, etc. as well as--Becoming a Republican, Having Voted for Trump, Cheering on J. Comey, Planning on Gutting the Dept. of Energy, and, oh, yeah, Repealing the AcA, just in case I needed health care for a pre-existing condition. Like cancer. Again I cry, What the Hell?
I meant this to be a lighthearted, jokey blog about being in "Remission" or "Survivorship", as I had a funny conversation with an older friend about which term we preferred. As a long-term survivor, she likes "Remission." I stand by "Survivorship," as it sounds somehow--more manly. Tougher. As if I had just jumped 60 feet into a stormy sea and have managed to grab some floating wreckage until I am rescued. "Remission" sounds like banking, like "Receivership," i.e. health bankruptcy. Guess we'll be seeing a hell of a lot of THAT in the coming years, if the GOP has their deadly way.
Back to the jokey part of this post on a dismal day. Just for chuckles, I did a Google Search for the Best Cancer Blogs of 2016 and found a few useful things, but nothing up my alley--which is faith and cancer. Frankly, I don't know how ANYONE gets through life with mind and heart intact without faith, but that is my prejudice. ("But I know I am right. This will be the best faith you have ever seen or heard of! It will be the biggest faith too!")
I hope none of you out there in FB land will have to confront cancer, but if you do, keep this handy-dandy tool kit by you just in case:
SURVIVORSHIP TOOL KIT (free!)
--a loving spouse or partner
--fabulous, funny friends
--Blue Apron or HelloFresh which comes to your DOOR
--a lively pet with fur, not an iguana, a snake, a snail, or a cricket
--a house or apartment with big windows to let in God's light and nature
--loving brothers and sisters (thanks, Nick and Peter and dear spouses!)
--a faith community, or, if you will, a dharma community
--great adult "kids" who know just when to show up when you are having a slobbery meltdown
--the sun coming up each day
--chestnut-sided nuthatches, hummingbirds, Pileated woodpeckers, Barred Owls and more
--G.K. Chesterton
--Fr. Bobby Barron & his inspiring YouTube reflections
--a Writers' Group
--Amazon.com for when you don't have the spoons, which is almost always, to go shopping on your own or do errands
--the Bible
--a really good manicurist who is a liberal and likes to talk politics
--Great makeup to hide pallor (thanks Dr. Hauschka bronze tint)
--great pastors and a one-of-a-kind priest, you know who you are
Did I miss anything? Ah, music and reruns of "Downton Abby" and "Call the Midwife." "Sherlock" is off my Christmas list as my chemo brain simply understand it.
So, yeah, I am going with Survivorship, despite the dizzy spells, wobbly legs, and ratty chemo brain. I'm holding onto the wreckage for dear life, and I know, I truly and deeply know--as much as I know that God is closer to me than my own breath and my own heartbeat--that I am going to either be rescued by some fit, tan, gorgeous guy on a cruise ship, or I shall wash ashore on a Caribbean beach with a chair, a rum drink, an umbrella, and all of my peeps around me.

Cycle tourism, organized tours to include cycling, is gaining momentum worldwide.
India seems to have been a late starter in this adventure activity.
Now, efforts are being made to make special cycle tracks to cater to the expected rise in cycling.
A 200-km stretch is being built to connect Agra with Etawah.
Attention is also being paid to the diet needs of the cyclists, says Nitin Yadav, a photographer, who is turning attention to cycle
tours. Tourists coming from Sweden, the UK, Singapore, and Australia enjoy exploring places like Kulu, Manali, Leh and Rajasthan.
Attention is being paid by the travel and tourism industry to having experts deal with ground arrangements required by the cycle enthusiasts.

Healthcare jobs such as Registered Nurses, LPN's, LVN's and related Vocational Technicians provide over 15 million jobs in the United States alone. Most healthcare workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, such as health technologists and technicians, electronic medical records specialists, medical insurance billing, health information technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, and medical insurance billing. Founded in 1898, the American Hospital Association provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends.
The outlook for technical medical careers is especially bright. Opportunities for employment for medical laboratory technicians are expected to increase by 10% to 20% in the next eight years. The increasing number of elderly people is seen as a factor in this growth. As people age they have more medical problems, and hospitals will require more laboratory technicians to perform lab work for them. Aside from a good salary, most medical personnel receive comprehensive medical and dental benefits, as well as retirement plans. Beyond major requirements within the medical assisting department, you may consider Western Iowa Tech phlebotomy certification as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Former Westinghouse/ABB Bloomington site in running for $350 million investment
+ click to enlarge
Ernest Rollins
, Herald-Times
A cardboard recycling facility is looking to locate on the former Westinghouse/
site west of Bloomington — an investment estimated at $350 million with the creation of around 100 jobs.
Business and government officials are hopeful the unidentified employer will locate at the vacant industrial site along North Curry Pike, but first need to address the impact the company will have on the city's infrastructure, because it is a high producer of industrial wastewater.
The prospect of bringing a new facility to Monroe County's west side came forward about a month ago, said
Bloomington Economic Development Corp.
President Lynn Coyne. He said the facility processes used cardboard into a form that can be manufactured into containers. Officials are not releasing the name of the facility or company, which has not yet asked for any public financing. Coyne said the company plans to use the entire 69 acres of the former Westinghouse/Asea Brown Boveri site and to employ 100 people at around $30 an hour.
The Monroe County site is one of three locations that the prospective company is reviewing, Coyne said.
"It is a very complex situation where the community is tasked with going back and saying, 'Based on what you've said, here is what we can do for you,'" Coyne said. "'We would like to have you, but we understand it is a competitive environment and here's what we are willing to do.'"
To help recruit the company — and ensure that its high volume of wastewater doesn't overtax the community infrastructure — officials are discussing a new county industrial pretreatment wastewater facility.
