Good morning, Mini-Women. This morning I'm appreciating how much you're growing. You may not think you are. You might feel like you still have a "bad attitude", and are afraid to open up to your friends. But -- and this is important -- you're admitting that and you're talking about it. You WANT to change. And that's how I know this journey is working. So let's keep going.
We're still at the table in the cafe, and Jesus brings us our hot chocolates and Lemon Whatever-Thingies and chai teas and Mountain Dews. We're pretty quiet as he sits down among us and takes a sip of his second cup of coffee.
"Talk to me, Mini-Women," he says.
And so we do.
ANNA: It's hard to be nice to people who aren't nice to me.
ALYSSA: I try to get my friends out of a dumb situation but it doesn't work out.
LIANNA: It's very hard for me to make friends in the first place.
HOLLY: I don't think my friends would listen.
SIERRA: I would feel like they're ganging up on me even if they're being nice.
RACHEL: I just have a serious attitude problem.
REBEKAH: Oh my gosh, me too!
Jesus listens, really listens, and he doesn't tell any of us we're lame or ridiculous or silly. He just sips and nods and makes us all feel like we're important to him, and that what we're saying is too. We feel like Maeryn in Miss Nancy's arms; we know we're loved.
That, however, doesn't make all our problems with other people go away, and Jesus knows that. He leans in, and so do we.
"Take this most seriously," he says, "because I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action."
Somebody goes, "My friends will think I'm a goody-goody if I say, 'let's pray about this!'"
"Whose opinion is more important?" Jesus says kindly. "Theirs? Or mine?"
Somebody else says, "How do you 'make a prayer of it'? I dont' get that."
"Excellent question," Jesus says. "Let's say Rebekah and Rachel need to go to Rylie and talk about something she's done that upsets them."
The Three R's all look at each other and feel immediately funky.
"Right," Jesus says, as if he knows exactly what they're feeling because, uh, he does. "But what if Rachel and Rebekah say to each other, 'Let's talk to Jesus about this first. Just ask for his help and see what happens.' Is one of you going to say, 'Nah, Jesus doesn't care about this. We can do this on our own because we know more than he does.' Would naybody say that?"
There is a chorus of, "Hello, no!" "Are you serious?" "Yikes -- unh-uh!"
Jesus just looks at us. We get it. Still somebody raises her hand and says, "But what about Rylie? What if they go to her and she laughs at them or doesn't listen?"
"Are Rachel and Rebekah any worse off than they were before?" Jesus says. "And Rylie has now heard kind, good words. They're in her head now. No one but the Father and I really know how that will shape her in the days to come. I never said you're going to get results --" he snaps his fingers -- "just like that. Do the right thing and leave the rest to me."
Nobody says it, but some of us are still thinking, "This sounds too hard."
When are we going to get that we can't hide anything from this man Jesus? He looks at all of us with his understanding eyes and he says, "When two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there. You might not hear me. You won't see me. But you can know. And good will come of the kind, gracious, loving way you treat each other -- eventually. Have faith." He smiles. "Do I dare say, be patient?"
Some of us, who aren't exactly the most patient of people, laugh, and Jesus laughs with us. He knows how hard it is. He also knows we can't do any of this without him.
One more day in Galilee, he tells us. So we take our teas and hot chocolates and sodas and we find places in the cafe and write in our Talking To God journals and somebody explains what they are to LIANNA. Then we comment, about what it would be like to pray with our friends before we start a tough conversation or how having Jesus there would help when we talk to our moms about the things they won't let us do. Together we imagine what would be different if we were aware that Jesus IS there when we're dealing with people who aren't nice to us.
And we grow some more.

Victoria has crushed its second hoon car four years after the anti-hoon legislation was introduced.
In that time, more than 11,000 hoon drivers have had their cars impounded for a period of time.
The crushed Holden Commodore belonged to a 22-year-old man from Hamilton in the state's west who lost the car after recording three hoon driving offences.
Because the car did not meet the strict resale safety standards and was owned outright by the driver, it was crushed, but not before State Emergency Service volunteers used it to practice their road rescue skills.
Holden appears to be the hoon car of choice, making up 46 per cent of cars impounded, well ahead of Ford (16.7 per cent) and Nissan (7.8 per cent).
"Serial hoon drivers pose a serious threat to law-abiding road users," Police and Emergency Services Minister Bob Cameron said.
The worst hoon suburb is St Albans, in Melbourne's northwest, followed by neighbouring southwest suburbs Werribee and Hoppers Crossing.
Deputy Commissioner for Road Policing Ken Lay said that cars which have an acceptable safety rating will be sold rather than crushed.
"If we permanently seize a vehicle that is not of a high safety standard, in that it doesn't have features such as ABS brakes and airbags, I cannot, in good conscience, send that vehicle back into the community," Mr Lay said.
"This is about getting unsafe vehicles off the road and working to a higher standard of road safety across the state, while also sending a strong message to people who choose to hoon on our roads."
Under proposed changes to the hoon legislation the length of time that a car is impounded will go from 48 hours to seven days and also include a wider range of offences, such as repeat offences of unlicensed driving, and alcohol-affected and drug drivers.

Output Options; Selective Sharpening; An Ideal Choice For Portraits Or Blurry Backgrounds With An In-Focus Subject Page 2
Paint over the area you want to have the sharpening visible and as you paint
you'll notice the Layer Mask icon is changing to reflect where you've
painted, and the sharpened image is starting to show.
If you find that you've gone too far with your painting, just switch to black by clicking the black square (or simply press X to toggle between black and white) and paint back over the areas you want to hide. Once you've revealed all of the areas you want the sharpening applied to, you're done!
One of the biggest advantages to using selective sharpening, outside of the
obvious, is that you can sharpen each area of your image at the optimal settings.
This is done by adding multiple layers and sharpening each appropriately, and
then applying a layer mask to each layer.

About Me
I am an aspiring Outdoor Educator with a love for the great outdoors. In my lifetime I hope to serve others by fostering an appreciation for the endless experiences waiting to be had in the outdoors. Growing up I spent any available time outside. So I decided, why not pursue a career in what I love?
I graduated from Georgia College, Dec 2014, with a B.S. in Outdoor Education and a Minor in Business. In the Outdoor program at GC we focused on developing ourselves as professionals in three core areas: Human, Outdoor, and Educational. During my time in the program, through various courses, we spent many hours in the field gaining experiences and developing teaching models within the three core skill sets. Those experiences have left me feeling more confident in myself as an Outdoor Educator. I look forward to serving others in the experiences that lie ahead.
In my spare time I enjoy any form of cycling, running, training for competitive events, rock climbing, backpacking, sailing, playing guitar, and enjoying others company.

Although NephoScale is new, it has a deep bench of experience in networking and cloud computing, including a stint by Templeton at Foundry Networks and his purchase of three Web hosting companies in Silicon Valley. Company co-founder and chief technology officer Telemachus Luu launched the GoGrid IaaS business while at ServePath and, prior to that, spent seven years designing large-scale networks for a Web portal company.
With its greenfield IT infrastructure, NephoScale can build around some of the problems of existing IaaS providers, says Templeton. For instance, other providers may assign a particular workload to a server but will not be able to tell the customer if it's running on a single-core, dual-core or multicore processor. That can make a difference in situations where billing is based in part on the "computing units" assigned to a customer.
"So you don't know if you've landed on an old [Intel] Xeon, [AMD] Opteron or a new box," he says. "Some people do want to have the ability to have that kind of programmatic control that the cloud offers."
NephoScale also claims cloud storage capacity that scales to up to 100 petabytes, Templeton says, and that it bests cloud market leader Amazon EC2, which he said lacks "persistent storage." Without persistent storage, when customers need to reboot their instance in the EC2 environment, they have to take additional steps to re-establish their storage connection.

Is this the best Dilbert cartoon ever?
8 comments post a comment
Someone just sent me a link to a Dilbert cartoon that had me laughing out loud...
I love cartoons like Calvin and Hobbs, and Peanuts, and… well, pretty much all of them really. When I was a young kid around 10 years old in England, I used to hang out with my cousin Gillian who lived up the road.
Gillian and I each used to get comics every week and – after reading them – we'd save them in a box. Every now and again our parents would ship these comics to our cousins in Canada. Similarly, their parents would occasionally ship us a box of Canadian / American comics. It was a "party day" when those comics arrived, let me tell you.
Of course, as an engineer I love the Dilbert comic strip along with the associated animations. Who amongst us could forget The Knack, for example (I always think of my long-suffering mom when I see this).
Usually when I see a Dilbert strip it brings a grin to my face, but someone just sent me a link to one that made me laugh out loud. I can't post the strip here for copyright reasons, but you can Click Here to visit it over at the official Dilbert website at www.dilbert.com.
I don't know why, but this one just ticked my funny bone. How about you – do you have a favorite Dilbert Cartoon (or any other cartoon, now I come to think about it)?

Shooters have become a rather overdone genre in modern gaming. Seems like there's a new one released every time you turn around. They're not all good, though. In fact, some of them are just plain garbage. A lot of them are released just to hop onto the multiplayer train, without ever considering the fact that most people are going to ultimately stick to your Battlefields or your Call of Duties for an online shooter experience, and abandon your game after about a week of playing it. They put so much effort into this multiplayer, that no one's going to play for very long, that the single player campaign suffers heavily for it. Here are five single player campaigns developers should take cues from when they're developing a shooter, so that even when the online lobbies dry up, we can still have fun with them*:
*Minor spoiler warning. Be careful if you haven't played these games yet. Although if you haven't… what have you been doing?
#5: Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64, Xbox 360 [HD Remake])
The recent HD remake of Rare's classic shooter for the Nintendo 64 proves that this game wasn't just a product of its time. Perfect Dark unquestionably started off as a rip-off of Goldeneye 64. Playing as a spy? Check. A handful of gadgets to use alongside your standard weapons? Check. 3 difficulty levels, each with a more difficult AI to contend with, and more objectives to complete in the missions? Check. End-of-the-game unlockables based on which difficulty you've done the missions on? Check. But while it may have started off as a simple rip-off, Perfect Dark became so much more. The plot quickly twists to involve a clone of the president, two species of alien, interstellar war (not really involving humans other than you, though), and a trip to another planet. 007 never had any of that. It also boasted a fairly robust multiplayer, but we're not talking about multiplayer, so shhhh! Perfect Dark was one of the few games that existed in that era where you played as a gun-toting female protagonist, (and there haven't really been very many since), so it gets extra points for shattering accepted gender roles, as well. Despite attempting a realistic look, which means that the original game now resembles a rhinoceros after a fall from a banana tree (what I mean is it looks bad), it's still an extremely fun game, although it must be said, that odd controller design was not very well optimized for shooters.

She helps people walk for healthy babies
Andrea Swedin isn't a mom. She hasn't really had anyone close to her go through a troubled pregnancy. But all the same, she put in a really long day Sunday, helping to coordinate the March for Babies through the March of Dimes.
A special events coordinator for the March of Dimes, Swedin is one of a handful of people who plan fund raising efforts around the state to raise money for research on birth defects and the causes of premature births.
A self-described "Farmingtonite," Swedin attended the University of Minnesota, Duluth after graduating from Farmington High School. She earned a degree in health education - she figured she'd go into teaching - but came home to look for a job. While her search was on, she went back to KinderCare, where she'd worked when she was younger, just to have a job.
And sometimes, things just fall into place. One day, she was talking to the father of a child at KinderCare. It was idle conversation that somehow turned to her job search. She mentioned her degree, he mentioned his position at the March of Dimes, and that there was an opening for a special events coordinator. One thing led to another, and she locked in the position.
That was back in 2007. Since then, Swedin has spent a lot of time working with teams and companies, and simply making people aware of the March of Dimes' mission. There are lots of smaller fund raising events she works on, but the March for Babies is the biggest. From January through April, the March for Babies is the focus of her attention.
March for Babies
Swedin calls the March for Babies the "signature event" for the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes, as a nonprofit, puts that money into research to help identify why premature births occur, and research to help those premature babies survive. Often, babies who are born prematurely suffer some sort of birth defect, or even face death. By funding research, the March of Dimes tries to eliminate those risks.
The Greater Twin Cities March for Babies was held last Sunday, with walks in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Stillwater. Combined, nearly 4,000 people made the walk, and raised more than $1 million for the first time in the history of Minnesota's program. The Stillwater walk raised about $40,000. Swedin said 77 cents of every dollar raised will go to research.
The March of Dimes uses that money as grant funding. There's about $2 million in grants being used for research at the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. Another $55,000 goes back into the communities to help families who have a child who was born prematurely.
Swedin's morning started pretty early Sunday. By 6 a.m., she was out at Boom Island, setting up for the Minneapolis walk, which is typically the largest of the three. Since she was the coordinator for the Stillwater walk, though, she had to leave before the Minneapolis walk even started.
Making it happen
This isn't the first year Swedin has been involved in the March for Babies. Since she took her job in 2007, she's got a few under her belt already. The Stillwater walk is smaller - only about 75 people turned out, compared to the 1,000 or so who were at the Minneapolis walk - but the enthusiasm is still overwhelming.
"It's just such a cool thing to see that many people coming together for a cause they all believe in, and one that I believe in," she said. "I just got chills. I've never had a child, but I work with so many families who have been affected, and I feel so close to the mission, that it's absolutely incredible."
She spent the better part of her day Saturday out in Stillwater with her mom, Mary, driving around the 3 1/2 mile course and putting out the markers. By 10 a.m. Sunday, she was on her way back, ready to set up at the Stillwater walk.
The only problem was, this year she wasn't able to make solid connections with volunteer groups in Stillwater. She needed people to help with checking in teams, people to hand out snacks and water at the check points and people to just cheer on the walkers. So she turned to her family and friends from Farmington. She had about a dozen folks who gave up part of their Sunday to help.
"It was a busy day, but we have lots to celebrate," Swedin said. "Everyone's together on this, and they're all fighting for the same thing."
Though most of Swedin's focus from January through April is directed at the March for Babies, her job does, in fact, fill up a whole year. There are some other events she works on - gala fund-raising events, "Jail and Bail" fund-raisers, things of that nature - plus she uses her time to help teams plan events to raise money for upcoming walks.

Amsterdam to Barcelona » Review by Explorer1246799
This was my first contiki trip and I had an AMAZING time travelling from the Netherlands to Barcelona. Our driver and tour director were great. We had some long drives during our trip - but it was all good for me. When you go in with and open mind and absolutely no expectations i think it makes the trip that much better - you haven't limited yourself in anyway and are open and receptive to the experiences that come your way. My favorite stop on this trip I would say was Nice, simply because I took the free time to have a day to myself in this amazing city. A majority of folks headed off to the beach and i got a late start and headed out to the Contemporary Art Gallery instead, stopping at a park along the way to orient myself (which turned out to be right behind the Gallery). I then made my way toward the Promenade de Anglais in search of Le Chateaux. When i did find it, I never made my way to the very top, having done a lot of walking prior and had completely exhausted myself. Not to mention I had already gotten the photographs I was seeking before getting that point.
I would love to go back and visit. Paris and Barcelona are also on my list because I just got a little taste of these cities and would love to have more time to explore. Some of the hotels (and meals) left more to be desired, but won't knit-pick on this particular subject. Bottom line is I enjoyed myself and would do this again. Additionally met some great folks along the way.

Last week, I received news that the United Nations Special Repporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on freedom of religion or belief, Asma Jahangir, published a report expressing serious concerns about apparently new developments regarding the treatment of Baha'is in Iran. I've sat on this since then, debating with myself whether or not I should post something here on an issue that strikes so very close to home with me.
Today, someone forwarded a link to Ruth Gledhill's post yesterday on the subject, and I find the parallels she points out to the historical treatment of Jews to be rather compelling. I can't remain silent, so forgive me for sharing this very off-topic issue here.
Ruth Gledhill's post is excellent, with plenty of links for background information. I don't have much to add except for an anecdote that I think speaks much about the character of the Baha'is in Iran. In 1992, the Baha'is held a world-wide congress in New York. Baha'is from all over the world attended this gathering, except, of course, the Baha'is in Iran. Due to the policies of the Iranian Government, they were unable to attend. In lieu of their attendance, the Baha'is of Iran sent flowers. Not just a handful of flowers, but dozens upon dozens of roses in rather large arrangements.
I'm not asking people to do anything about this. I just want you all to know. Whatever your heart moves you to do about it, even if that's nothing, is fine with me.

text: I just finished reading Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. By John Perkins. This is a (mostly) first hand account of how government, corporations and international banks have created a global empire on the backs of the third world. I always felt there was something pretty sinister about how these three entities – and ultimately us – achieve what they do while the third world continues to suffer in poverty while their own property and resources are taken from them. This isn't a story about physical invasion or armstrong politics. That is a thing of the past…or at least a last resort.

That got a little crazy for a minute there, didn't it?
The English Premier League's late-December schedule is notorious for packing in a whole lot of games in an ever-so-brief span. This year – or last year, technically – we saw Liverpool take over the EPL lead one weekend and then fall back six points the next. Arsenal remained top, while Chelsea and Manchester City asserted their title credentials.
But more on all that another time. Honestly, it's too chaotic right now to go jumping to any conclusions.
Instead, let's take a look at the January transfer window and some of the biggest questions we might see sorted out.

I am so glad that I got to work on the binding. got one side done. got home tonight and looked at the front and have to take out a section and redue it. the binding didn't catch part of the top when i sewed it. bummer but that is okay. not that hard to fix it. will post pics soon.

Q. I got into some chiggers and was in misery, so after everything else failed I decided to try some hydrogen peroxide. To my surprise the itch stopped immediately and never came back.
A. Dermatologists say chigger bites itch because of a reaction to the digestive enzymes chiggers leave behind. Perhaps hydrogen peroxide degrades these enzymes, but we haven't seen any studies that support this.

And so began the idea for a children's march through downtown. Thousands of kids — baby boomers all — wanted to take part, and Chris and Maxine McNair's daughter Denise was no exception.
"She wanted to go and march," Chris McNair recalls. "And her mother and another lady told her that, 'You are too small to march.' And she immediately looked at them and said, 'Hey, you're not little. Why aren't you marching?'"

There is no doubt that "cap-and-trade" has joined "liberal" on the list of terms conservatives have effectively tar-and-feathered. It's also clear that a market-based system is the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The term needs political rehabilitation, for the planet's sake. But how?
A recent study by NYU Law School's Institute for Policy Integrity shows how a different take on cap-and-trade, known as "cap-and-rebate" or "cap-and-dividend," could be the answer.
The study is actually an analysis of the CLEAR Act, ghg reduction legislation introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) last year which has, at least right now, taken a back seat to the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman bill due out April 26.
But that bill, known as KGL in lobbyist circles, will probably incorporate a version of the cap-and-dividend plan that is in the CLEAR Act. And if it doesn't, it should. Here's why.
The problem with cap-and-trade systems is that, by putting a price on emissions, they raise the cost of energy — there's simply no getting around that fact. What's worse, because the less well-off spend a greater percentage of their income on energy, they end up getting hit hardest by an increase in cost.
But in a cap-and-dividend system, when permits to pollute are auctioned off, a portion of the revenue from those auctions — 75 percent in the CLEAR Act — is redistributed to the public on a per capita basis. The rest is used to fund renewable energy.
The result is that "65-80 percent" of Americans would have a net financial benefit from cap-and-dividend, according to Michael Livermore, co-author of the NYU study. "When you set up a cap and dividend system the vast majority of Americans come out ahead," he said.
"For people on lower income side of spectrum the cap effects them more in terms of direct energy cost, but for people on the higher end the cap is affecting them more in terms of indirect costs of consumption, the energy used in the manufacturing of things," said Livermore. Richer people spend more money, and thus accumulate more costs associated with energy use.
Of course this formulation brings up another politically loaded term: "income redistribution." Interestingly, demonizing that topic has not gotten as much traction as "cap-and-tax." Americans seem more receptive to progressive taxation; most resistance to the healthcare overhaul, for instance, did not focus on the increased taxes on the wealthy in the bill.

Google Chrome OS: A Free Alternative To Windows 7
Google has just announced the launching of a new operating system based on Google Chrome browser and Linux kernel: Google Chrome OS. It is targeted to to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. Google Chrome OS is a free alternative for Windows 7, having a faster boot time and more Internet browsing flexibility.
Read The Entire Article: Google Chrome OS: A Free Alternative To Windows 7
Chrome OS is in no way designed as a alternative to Windows 7, or any other "traditional" OS for that matter. It is basically a bootable web browser, very little is done on the local machine.
And a comment from the article: "Everyone, examine what you can do with Google Gears (offline apps) and modern Javascript (including the objects Javascript uses: canvas, xml http request, video and audio tag, all the other DOM objects, etc.)
Theres less and less of a need to develop for the fat client. In fact, you can transfer the fat client into Javascript. Youre only missing a proper development environment. Something, however, tells me that this will be resolved in the nearby future as well."
Google Chrome OS: A Free Alternative To Windows 7
There is one thing i don't understand, they are talking about an "all" web OS, while most internet connections are no more then 2.5 mega.
The external server cant be as fast as a harddisk.
how are they going to solve the speed problem?
Google Chrome OS: A Free Alternative To Windows 7
Some of the Google apps will work in your browser offline. Both Gmail and Google Docs will work in Firefox with Google Gears already, it probably won't take Google long to get other online apps to work offline as well.
Ubuntu : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
Fedora : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
Debian : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
Slackware : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
White Box : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
FreeBSD : A FREE ALTERNATIVE TO WINDOWS 7
Why does google have the headlines for something that is not an alternative, just a web browsing shell ? Quoting from the article does not prove anything other than the articles bias. All the ones I listed are a free alternative, Chrome OS is not. Unless you regard a refrigerator as an alternative to an operating system. Or a kiosk. Or a hammer.
Google's advantage, name recognition everyone has heard of Google. Not everyone has heard of linux.
Can you download it for free?
Actually, the Google OS is a good thing ... not because it will be good, because it probably won't be, but because it's free advertising for Linux.
Google Chrome OS Could Be Pivotal in the Cloud Revolution
Google Chrome OS is arriving just in time to take advantage of the perfect storm of cloud services, cheap hardware, and a new generation of platform-agnostic users. Unlike other Linux-based OSs, Chrome has brand recognition that even the biggest neophyte could get comfortable with.
Larry Ellison of Oracle was touting the benefits of the network computer back in 1996. He was ahead of his time. People werent ready for the network computer, and the network certainly wasnt ready for the people.
Fast forward to 2009, when many people view computers as mere tools to connect to the Net. Typical uses for computers involve streaming media, social networking, managing photos and information consumption. When the typical home user uses a PC predominantly for communication and entertainment, the offline computer is nearly useless.

It amazes me how fast they inserted the word "cloud" into everything. It just means internet-based doesn't it ? It sounds stupid. I'm not using it.

Judge Denise Casper upheld a decision by the case's previous judge, who was removed because of a potential conflict of interest.
Judge Casper ruled "any alleged immunity agreement ... is a bar to prosecution to be determined by the court and not a defence to the crimes charged".
Bulger's lawyers argued they should be able to present a trial defence claiming that a now-dead law enforcement official gave Bulger immunity from prosecution.
US District Judge Richard Stearns was removed from the case in March after defence lawyers cited a possible conflict of interest due his role as a federal prosecutor during the 1980s - the same time Bulger was working as an FBI Mafia informant while allegedly committing crimes - including murder.
Bulger, 83, is scheduled to go on trial next month for his connection to 19 slayings. He has pleaded not guilty.
The reputed gangster fled Boston in 1994 and was on the FBI's most wanted list until he was captured in Southern California in 2011.

And 5 cups flour must make a big batch or so?
Quoting SweetLuci:
Yes. This would make about 5-8 dozen cookies, depending on the size of the cutters and how thin you roll out the dough. You could easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller amount, or freeze half for use later.
Quoting delanna6two:
And 5 cups flour must make a big batch or so?Quoting SweetLuci:
Sounds yummy! I've been baking sugar cookies for about two hours, I swear I've made at least 8 dozen! Then I'm making salt dough gingerbread men for the boys to give as Christmas gifts!

Great theme. I have one quick question.
I would like to take the .featured-box-hover effect and have it do the same thing on .project-box.
When a user hovers from a .project-box in my portfolio I would like the .featured-box-hover to become .project-box-hover so that I can fill details about the portfolio item.
I hope my message is clear. Please email back.
Create the box with the following format

Featured Box Content on Hover

and add the following css
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
position: absolute;
height: 100%;

I tried the above code and added the CSS mark up to my stylesheet. When you hover or a project-box nothing happens. Can you please email me once more and I will provide you with the links to see for yourself. I noticed if you set opacity to "1" it does display in the manner you suggest but it does not do so when you roll over.
Please provide us the links via our profile page So i can look into it.
Best Regards,
Hi! Thanks for the template. I am building a "About" page and would like to use internal links to navigate through chapters. I placed links to internal anchors " href="#chapterN" on the left-side bar "Custom Menu" to chapters on the page. When I use the link it makes content above the chapter to disappear. I guess it has to do with script files but I couldn't figure out what do I need to change. Can you please help me out?
We are very sorry for a support delay. We are moving all of our support to the dedicated forum, so please leave a question on here. Thank you very much!
First of all: great design and lovely template. Even though I tried to register for thge support section I can´t login and didn´t get any activation mail or stuff like that so I have to try here.
I would love to be able to browse through categories flipping in and out on the portfolio-listing.html like it is almost standard on other templates. Do you think you could implement this?
Thanks in advance, Michael
Hey bodohmen, it is scheculed to be impemented. Stay tuned!
i wanted to add a search-box. Its there is css, but action says searchbox.php which is not there. can you help me with it??
Thanks alot for your purchase!
For the searchbox to work on the HTML template you would need a php script to handle the search which is not included in the template.
Best Regards,

hey iv sent a forum post. http://support.themesgravity.com/forums/topic/heya-i-need-help/
Great theme, thank you! I posted this question on your Gravity forum page but didn't get a response. I have modified the main menu and it's quite long. Is there a way to force it to use the mobile navigation toggle when viewed on an iPad so the menu doesn't wrap to 2 lines. view sample page www.pulsecredit.com.au
I apologize for the delay somehow we missed the post, however it has been replied to.
Simple and very nice! Good work!;
Thank you very much!
Hi There,
Great Theme
Is there an easy way to turn off the media queries kicking in so early. I.e. on an ipad at 1024 (portrait) I dont want the site to be adjusted from the desktop version.
Just wondering if this is a straight forward fix?
It is shown in the visual on theme forest on an ipad portrait the way I want my site ( without mobile nav, enlarged fonts etc)
Thank you so much for your kind words
Yes you can modify the values you'd like to change in the media queries in the style.css page, Just scroll down at the bottom you should see media queries and the values to change there itself.
Should you need a detailed explanation please contact out support via the contact form here and we will get back to you ASAP
Hi, Any update on the ie8 fix? I've tried uploading repond.js to make the media queries work, but i've found out that repond.js don't work with css referenced via @import. "Respond.js doesn't parse CSS referenced via @import, nor does it work with media queries within style elements, as those styles can't be re-requested for parsing."
Since the file style.css call via @import the file ('assets/css/style.css'), and this file call bootstrap.min.css and other css file via @import, I think it might be one of our problem.
Umm we don't really support IE8 anymore however Contact us via our support email at support[at]themesgravity.com we might need the theme files to inspect further.
Any updates for this theme. The bootstrap has evolved!
I have downloaded the zip file but, it will not install as it tells me it is missing the style.css stylesheet?

The University of Texas at Arlington School of Nursing has received more than $1 million in funding for a project—partnering with Texas Health Resources (THR)—to help meet the nursing demand by providing a hospital-based accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
A three-year $556,291 grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will be added to THR's in-kind donation, which is realized through THR's employment benefits. The $664,848 helps with the payment of tuition, fees, and student (employee) support/salary.
The project, titled "LEARN (Leveraging Existing Academic Resources in Nursing)" is aimed at increasing enrollment, maximizing graduation rates, and improving readiness to practice of graduate nurses by leveraging existing faculty and hospital-based resources.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a need for more than one million new and replacement registered nurses by 2012. While significant progress has been made, it is estimated that Texas nursing schools will have to increase the number of initial RN licensure graduates by 50 percent by 2010 to meet the demands of the population in 2020.
"We will not be able to meet that demand using the traditional educational approaches we have in place today," said Dr. Beth Mancini, professor and associate dean for undergraduate nursing programs and administrator of the School of Nursing's Smart Hospital, who will provide direction, coordination and oversight to the LEARN project. "That's why innovative educational strategies such as this partnership with Texas Health Resources are so vital."
The program will be administered through the UT Arlington School of Nursing, and will be compressed to 15-months in duration by using the summer session to provide a full semester's worth of courses. The first cohort of students will begin Junior 1 course work in May 2008 and graduate in August 2009. This compares to the School of Nursing's current initial RN-licensure program, which requires 21 to 24 months to complete depending on whether the student is admitted in the fall or spring semester. The target group for this program will be current THR employees and second-degree students willing to commit to two years employment with THR. LEARN students will complete their courses and be eligible for licensure in 29 to 37 percent less time than the traditional program.
"THR is proud to continue to partner with academic communities in order to support an adequate nursing workforce for the future," said David Eubanks, MSN, RN administrative director for clinical learning for Texas Health Resources. "It's another way we are improving the health of the communities we serve."
Texas Health Resources is one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health care delivery systems in theUnited States. The system serves more than 6.3 million people living in 16 counties in north central Texas. THR has 13 hospitals with more than 3,300 licensed hospital beds, employs more than 18,250 people and counts more than 3,700 physicians with active staff privileges at its hospitals.
The School of Nursing is one of the 20 largest schools of nursing in the United States, offering the full range of educational degrees including BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, Post Masters, BSN-Ph.D. and doctorate programs to more than 1,000 students. Visit www.uta.edu/nursing for more information.

The agony of a grand father! Even the police that came to rescue and separate Luisa Fernanda from the desperate grips of Don Fernando, admitted that she resembled the old man. That was why they tend to believe the anguish cries of the old man that Luisa was his daughter. But believe must be based on facts, so, in an effort to match their names, they asked him what his name was, alas! Amnesia has erazed his name from his memory: he doesn't know his name. To produce the fact of his identity, they also asked for his particulars, he searched feverishly for his purse which contained his identity, even Luisa helped him too to search his pockets, alas! Amnesia has snatched his purse from him and thrown it into the bush, it could not be found. This is what led the police to think that, if a man doesn't know his name, how could he possibly know who his daughter is? so they took him and dragged him to their car...as they were dragging him, he cried out aloud with anguish in his voice to his daughter saying: "...Honey, don't let them take me..you are my daughter,...Honey, please heeelp meeee..., don't let her go, she is my daughter...".
Don was eventually found and brought home from the police station. When asked what happened and where was his car? He couldn't remember anything that happened! Heriberto was more concerned for the car that was missing than being relieved for his father-in-law that has been found. All the police could tell them was that, he was found by a young girl who handed him over to them. Don excused the crowd of sympathetic undertakers- Consuela and her husband. After they left, he crawled to the foot of the Cross of Calvary in his room...he held on to the foot of Jesus weeping and praying. Would the Saviour intervene in his calamity? Would the God of salvation bring Don to his desired haven, and shame all his enemies, including Amnesia? The unfolding episodes would tell.
Back on the cruise, Vanessa told Carlos that today being the last day of the the cruise she wanted to celebrate it together with him in his cabin. Carlos disengaged himself from her exploring hands and told her that, he was not in mood for that, and he went straight to his cabin. In his cabin, he felt bad that he had not told Luisa by his own mouth about Jenny.He wondered that Luisa would hate him by now, and rightly so. Knock on his cabin door: it was vanessa again, this time with food and wine, satying that she brough t him something to eat for dinner since she didn't see him at the restaurant. He warned Vanessa that she was looking for trouble. that she should leave him alone as he doesn't want to talk about his problem with anybody.
His Kisses Were A Lie!
Back home, Luisa faced scolding from Amelia for taking her boyfriend along for the cruise, thereby breaking the school rules. Luisa just ignored her, and went to lock up herself in her room. Weeping and talking to herself saying: "...so everything was a lie: his kisses, his romance and his promises?" At that point, Pedro came in to commune with her, and she poured out her heart to him about how Carlos betrayed her, because she heard that he had another girlfriend.
Next day as Pedro and Amelia were tackling each other, in their usual tradition of strife, she blurted out that: "...I can't wait to sign my divorce papers and getting away from you!" Luisa Fernanda heard it and she came into their room asking them. "What did you say, mother, you want to get a divorce?"...they were silent for a while, but when Pedro wanted to lie by denying it, Amelia interrupted him saying, it is true and had been long in the pipeline, they were only waiting for her to finish her final exams; and that it was for her good.
Luisa was heart-broken with this news but amelia and Pedro told are that it was inevitable. After Amelia left for work, Luisa came to pedro and told him: "...daddy, between us there are no secrets, tell me what happened. Pedro told her only half truths, never told her that they were never, for the 19-year sex-less marriage lived once, as husband and wife. He however told her the truth that he had loved and adored Amelia all his life, but Amelia has not reciprocate his love. He admitted that LOVE HAS TO BE MUTUAL and not one-sided.
Jennifer stormed Marissa's house just as Carlos was arriving from the Cruise. As Jenny was accussing him of not caring for her, he stopped her with his accusation of spoiling his cruise by conspiring and sending Augusto to do her dirty job of telling Luisa Fernanda of everything about their former relationship and the pregnancy. Jennifer was surprised and denied it. In the midst of their arguement, an emergency phonecall from Consuela came for Carlos, that his darling patient, Don Fernando is suffering from Amnesia. He had to leave in a hurry to attend to Don.
The Fashion show was a big success...a big side-attraction was Leopoldo and Andreina. It seems Andreina is gradually becoming fond of Leopoldo. Marissa had to organise for the couple to go for a vacation on a Carribean Island. Leopoldo was excited and sees Andreina as an angel sent his way by Marissa. L.A. is angry and not happy about the developing love-affair between Andreina and Leopoldo his best friend.
Next day, L.A. in a surprising move, told Marissa that he would follow her to work to take coffee there. Marissa was naively happy. When they got to Marissa's office, she intoduced him to her efficient secretary, Amelia. After Marissa left him to attend to other matters, he stood before Amelia and refused to leave until Amelia agreed to a lunch date with him at one of his hide-outs later in the afternoon. He scribbled the address down for her and left.

Episode 27: I Know You, You Are My Daughter
The battles in the life of Don Alcantara offered him an unusual trophy in tonite's episode. The trophy contained a strange wine, the wine of amnesia. Victory in this battle was a must for him, but drink, he must, of the wine of a debilitating dieseas of amnesia (memory-loss).
His desperation for victory in battle propelled him to pay the price, the heavy price of drinking the wine of memory-loss. From now on, Consuela Alcantara ceases to be the the greatest enemy of Don. The new "enemy-in-charge" is AMNESIA. And in his mortal combat with this enemy, as he strives to come out of the stupor, induced by this strange wine, he would have to come to terms with his soulish desire to meet Luisa Fernanda, his grand daughter whom he has left all his fortune to in his will. She may as well ignite his memory and recovery by leading him out of this incapacitating stupour. Out of the cloud, he located the secret that had been carefully hidden from him, throughout his ordeal with his wicked daughter, Consuelo Alcantara: he found his 'heiress-to-be' of his fortune. He found AMELUISA.
Who is Ameluisa? She is the young beautiful 18-year old daughter of Don Fernando Alcantara, the apple of his eyes, but that was some 19 years ago, before she became impregnated by Luis Alejandro Montero, before she was excommunicated and disowned by Don. That was when he last set his eyes on her. Tonite, 19 years afterwards, Luisa the daughter of Amelia has taken the exact image and replica of her mom: beautiful and tender. Her appearance by the street to rescue a Don that is alreday lost in the cloud of amnesia. Luisa's face was a resurrection of Amelia's face of 19 years ago. That was why Don called Luisa Fernanda "My daughter" when Luisa came to rescue him by the side street near the garden tonite. He saw Amelia, his daughter, as he touched the face of Luisa, his grand daughter. Would the effect of this wine of Amnesia wore off? Would he come back to regain his full memory? would he be consigned into a home for the sick or psychiatric cases? Only time and the next few episodes would tell?
*************end of act1 scene 2*************
*************back to act 1 scene 1************
Pedro, catching Amelia in the act, made her to admit that she was truly talking to L.A. on phone and he was the 'stranger' that bumped into her on the street by the house. A row broke out between them as Amelia insisted that L.A. has a right to know the whereabouts of his daughter Luisa Fernanda. Pedro disagreed with her saying, L.A. was a jerk, a deserter and a coward who has no right to claim Luisa as his daughter. Moreover, Luisa's name, he claimed, was registered in his(Pedro Perez's) name as the father. LUISA FERNANDA PEREZ! If L.A. wants to fight it out he should be ready to meet him (Pedro) in court.
Amelia, at work the next day, told Lupe about her encounter with L.A., how he recognized her and how Pedro resisted her, and told her not talk to, or see L.A. She concluded her story by saying that: "...if even Pedro dies of a heart-attack, I am going to meet Luis Alejandro".
Luisa Fernanda received the shock of her life while on the cruise and was chatting with "Basket-Mouth" Augusto. He was trying to win the confidence of Luisa, so he told her a well-kept secret and begged her not to reveal it to Vanessa, because she would be hurt. Luisa urged him on, promising not to say anything to Vanessa. Augusto told her that Carlos is so distraught during this cruise because he had a load of burden on his mind. He told her that Carlos has a girl friend whom he has been dating for some few months now, and they're going to marry very soon. Luisa was shocked and asked him further, who is the girl? Augusto replied: "...her name is JENNIFER de LA VEGA, a georgeous model in town, please don't tell Vanessa!"
Luisa Fernanda lost her balance, she asked Augusto which Jennifer, is it the lawyer? Augusto replied that Jennifer was not a lawyer, but a former Miss Universe. L.F. was mad with anger, calling Carlos a cheating liar and ran away to her cabin. Augusto misunderstood her expression... thinking that she was being jealous for her best friend Vanessa, and he was afraid that she would go and reveal the news to Vanessa.
In her cabin, tears of pain and betrayal flowed freely like a river from her eyes, in-between
her cracking sobs, she asked: "...how could he do this to me?...how could he deceive me?...how could he make a fool of me?" She made her decision to leave immediately for home, there was no point to pretend to still be in he same boat with a supposed 'traitor'. She came to the LOVE BOAT with hope and joy; but she left it as a HATE BOAT with disappointment and anger. Not even the pleadings by Sister Smiley and Vanessa could stop her from leaving.
Luis Alejandro is a black-spotted leopard, that won't let go his cunning spots after 19 years. He called Don at home on a Sunday, to tell him that he has not found Amelia and that Mrs. Alvare Torres, the phony 'witness' who was supposed to have had the last contact with Amelia has disappeared into thin air. Why is L.A. lying and deceiving the old man? Surely, it must be because he wanted to first negotiate with Amelia, to put him in the scheme of things, before presenting her as a trophy to Don, so that Don can see him as a saviour and not a villain.
Fire on the mountain! Consuela run, run and ran to Amelia's house, to work out another evil scheme that would not put her at a disadvantage....Amelia told her to go and wait for her at a near-by joint, because Pedro was at home. As she dressed up to go out, Pero locked her in, because he suspected that she wanted to go to a meeting with that"Bast..."! Consuela waited in vain as Amelia could not come.
Augusto called his friend, Carlos aside, to confess his mistake of telling Luisa about Jenny, and that was the reason for Luisa being upset. Carlos flew off the handle and for the first time came out openly that Luisa was his girlfriend, accusing Augusto of being : "...a jealous opportunist did that, to separate her from me!" Augusto's confusion was magnified and multiplied beyond measure, it took him a while before comprehending the anger and outburst of Carlos, and when he uderstood, he angrily retorted that Carlos has betrayed him, Vanessa, and Jenniffer. that was the end of their love boat dream and perhaps, friendship. He walked away angrily. Carlos later realised through Sister Smiley that Luisa Fernanda has left the yatch and gone home since morning!

You are not taking anything too personally at all. I don't what that particular dentist was thinking. It certainly has nothing to do with your medications. In fact we will often put people on 40 mg of prednisone when they have thier teeth extracted to lessen the swelling following the procedure. Canasa has nothing to do with it. In the end I would definitely find another dentist. No hesitation on calling this one.
My only other input is that it's not true that you will 100% need an antibiotic. It's true that 70-80% of the time one will get put on one but it's rare that one will HAVE to have one at all. The best treatment is to have the root canal. I often do not put patients on abs if I can avoid it because the best treatment in the end is to directly drain and clean the source of the infection, hence the root canal procedure itself. If you do need to go on one Z pack works nicely on the gut. You can also shorten the duration, instead of 10 or 7 days one can usually get away with 5 days. I also highly recommend a probiotic while you on the antibioitic anyways.

1:00pm Saturday 28th June 2014
By Ian Ross
LOSTOCK Gralam C of E Primary School pupil Ebony Steen will be the star of the show at a village fete and fun day.
The 10-year-old is to be crowned the Lostock Gralam Rose Queen at Lostock Gralam Community Centre by last year's queen Eleanor Hardy.
The crowning will be the highlight of a community celebration on August 24, which begins at midday with a procession through the village to the community centre.
Entertainment will include dancers, children's rides, a bouncy castle, land train and numerous stalls, and organiser Emma Beasant is also hoping to book a birds of prey display.
About 30 children attended the choosing of the retinue by Clr Peter Kelly and his wife Lynda, and each child has been given a role at the fete.
The fairy queen is Roxy Johnson, Kelsie Bowyer is the rose bud, and the princess and prince are Keeley-Jo Crawford and Alfie Tabbitt respectively.
Lewis Doyle is the crown bearer, the sword bearer is Jack Birtles, Callum Wilding is the sash bearer and the bouquet bearer is Joseph Blake.
The other children will be fairies, flower girls, ladies in waiting, train bearers, knights and page boys.
A number of events are being organised to raise money for the fete, and a family bingo evening at the community centre raised £413. A quiz night is being planned in the next few weeks, as well as a car boot sale.

I'm Danielle Orner, And This Is How I Yoga
A writer, actress, and teacher, Danielle seeks to explore the difficult questions about identity, sexuality, and recovery. Her first feature screenplay, Exposure, placed as a semi-finalist in the Francis Ford Coppola American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest.
Name: Danielle Orner
Occupation: Writer, Actress, Teacher
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Favorite yoga style: Vinyasa
Favorite yoga pose: I love inversions because I can feel how strong my body has become as I watch my feet float off the mat.
Yoga is… a conversation between body and spirit.
What Do You Love Most About Yoga?
Yoga teaches peace even during moments of exertion. You may be shaking and dripping with sweat but the breath still flows. As a writer and actress, I deal with a lot of rejection, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Yoga taught me to find a place of calm even as I continued to work and dream.
How Has Yoga Changed Your Life, Personality and Physique?
Before I started practicing, I was ashamed of my body. I wore pants to cover my prosthetic leg and tried desperately to pass for "normal." I also had four recurrences of cancer in my lungs, so I saw my body as the enemy. I spent the time between scans fearing that my whole life would be derailed again. I felt detached from my body because I felt I had no say in my health.
Yoga broke down my self-imposed limits. Flowing through the poses gave me strength and grace. I also began to listen to what I needed in order to heal. I regained a sense of celebration, joy, and possibility. I stopped denying who I was and began to see my experiences as a gift.
What Everyday Thing Did You Get Better At Because Of Yoga?
Physically, my doctors are surprised the cancer hasn't returned. I was supposed to need treatments on and off for the rest of my life. Now, I have been cancer-free since 2008. They also can't believe that I don't have back pain from being an amputee for twelve years. Emotionally, I have been able to make major life changes because I now spend time in contemplation asking what I really need and what I can let go of because it no longer serves me.
How Do You Keep Your Yoga Practice Interesting and Challenging?
I never say "I can't." When I watch advanced yogis practice, I stop myself from thinking "oh, I'll never be able to do that." I once believed that I'd never be able to practice yoga and I was so wrong. Now, I work little by little to build up to more challenging poses.
I've also been offered a scholarship to begin teacher training in the Spring. Yoga started as just something I did to get back in shape and now it has become a calling. I am also planning body image workshops as well as a second mini-documentary.
What Book, Website or Person Inspires You?
Kris Carr's books first inspired me to change my diet and lifestyle as a way to heal my body. I am so grateful to her for presenting a plant-based diet and a yoga practice in a sassy, accessible way.
What Do You Listen To While You Do Yoga?
If I am feeling frustrated and powerless, I practice a power flow to Florence and the Machine.
What's The Best Advice You've Ever Received?
You must ground down into the earth to be able to reach up to the sky. One of my yoga teachers speaks often about the dichotomy of the poses. We can hold two oppositions at once. We can be in the present moment while working toward change.
Is There Anything Else You'd Like To Share With Our Readers?
Yoga is for everyone. I've heard all the excuses in the book. The key is that everyone's practice should be personal. Don't worry about what the person on the mat next to you looks like. You're on your own journey, in this body, in this moment.

Miley Cyrus Pregnancy Rumors False: Singer, Juicy J Not Expecting Child
Miley Cyrus found herself at the center of pregnancy rumors recently, after unconfirmed reports claimed the pop star made an announcement at the eighth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.
On Saturday CreamBMP.com, which is a satirical news site, claimed Cyrus, 19, attended the event with her father Billy Ray Cyrus. Sources claimed the "Wrecking Ball" singer announced that she is expecting a child with rapper Juicy J, real name Jordan Michael Houston, however this report is said to be false.
"I assure you she's been doing a lot more than twerking" CreamBMP quoted Juicy J as telling the audience before Cyrus allegedly made the pregnancy revelation.
The website claims the audience initially laughed off Cyrus' pregnancy announcement, prompting her to insist 'No, I'm really pregnant," which then drew applause. The rumor is reportedly 100 percent false, according to Rollingout.com.
In recent months Cyrus made headlines over her widely criticized MTV VMAs performance and more recently, her split from actor Liam Hemsworth, 23. The former Disney star was linked to music producer Mike WiLL along with Juicy J in the wake of her split from Hemsworth and the latter recently gushed about collaborating with the singer on "23."
"I never thought I would collaborate with Miley Cyrus, but I am so glad it happened," Juicy said according to E! News. "It's like not even real to me! I have to pinch myself. It's almost like a dream come true 'cause she is super talented. We made a lot of great records together."
Cyrus was in good spirits on Sunday despite being subject to bizarre pregnancy rumors just one day prior. The pop star characteristically took to social networking site Twitter to express her joy despite the ongoing drama surrounding her personal life.
"I'm so happy," Cyrus tweeted to her 14 million Twitter followers Sunday just days before posting "I'm exhausted from being so f------ happy. In bed at 9:45 & it feels so good. #booksinbed."

This is the gazillionth book in the Discworld series, and if you don't know what that is this review is going to sound pretty weird. In brief: many years ago Terry Pratchett dreamed up an alternate world which is flat and carried through space on the back of four gigantic elephants standing on the shell of an even more gigantic turtle. In this world, magic is real, Death truly is a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black robe, and a census would have to include troll, dwarf, vampire, golem, and werewolf--among other creatures--in its "ethnicity" box. Within this structure Pratchett explores our society, myths, and institutions, taking them to wherever they might go in a world where pretty much anything is possible.
Confusingly, my picture of the cover of Making Money shows the British version, while the Amazon link shows the American edition. Yes, this is another import from that little island the other side of the pond, where it has achieved huge fame and been made into a TV series. Being a Brit myself, I often find myself wondering how Americans react to Pratchett's very British humor, which is of the deadpan-hilarious variety. I've never read the American editions, so I can't tell you whether they've been altered in any way - I hate it when American publishers do that, as if you Americans can't get your heads round a slightly different culture. I have a much higher opinion of your brainpower.
But I digress. Making Money is set in Ankh-Morpork, the Discworld's largest, most diverse, and most dangerous city, particularly if you eat the sausages. Our hero is Moist von Lipwig who, having saved the Post Office in Going Postal, is beginning to find his life a little too routine. He is rescued from committing crimes to make things more interesting by Lord Vetinari, the city's Patrician/tyrant, who puts Moist in charge of the moribund Bank. Things then get very interesting, as Moist has to deal with Mr. Fusspot, the Lavish family, strange things happening in the basement, golems, a very dead wizard, and an extremely nasty finger.
Having read my way through the Discworld series over the last twenty or so years, I can pretty much tell where these books are going from about page 5. After the first few books, Pratchett settled on a formula and pretty much stuck to it. And yet I keep reading them. Why is this? Possibly because my husband keeps buying them (he's a huge fan) but also, I think, because there's something irresistible about Pratchett's gentle mockery of all we hold dear. He's never cruel, but he has a talent for dissecting all our pretentions and ambitions and holding them up to us in an "oh dear, look at this" kind of way. And he has these throwaway lines that are just a delight to read.
Terry Pratchett now has Alzheimer's, so we may be seeing the last of the Discworld novels soon. If you've never read any of them and want to start, my suggestion would be to go back to the early days, starting with The Color of Magic. By the time you've read enough books to get to the more formulaic later ones, you'll be so fond of this strange universe that you won't mind.
I've classified Making Money as a beach read because the phoned-in plot keeps it out of the "good" category in my opinion. It's still a pleasant way to pass a few hours, and well worth a look if you're after some light humor to pep up your day.

New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells suggests the same in his recent review of this east Memphis hotspot. He experiences the joy of eating high on the hog in Memphis, with nary a dry-rubbed BBQ rib in sight.
Wells piles on (and praises!) a selection of Hog and Hominy's eclectic, Southern-meets-Italian items: spicy fried sweetbreads, a beef and cheddar hotdog, and a piece of peanut butter pie. He even suggests that this younger sibling of Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman's first restaurant, has surpassed its older brother.
I was helping myself to a slice — okay, several slices — of the Red Eye pizza the night the Times photographer came in to document this year-old golden child of Memphis' dining scene. I sidled up to Ticer, pointed to the cameraman set up in a corner of the restaurant, surrounded by so many perfectly plated wedges of pie, and asked who he was shooting for.
"The New York Times," Ticer said softly. "A critic was in last week."
Both Ticer and Hudman seemed too nervous to admit the review might be a good one. That night, the entire restaurant was tense with the knowledge that something important was happening, or perhaps wishing they'd worn a better outfit for the mystery cameraman's photo session.
Now, with this glowing review behind them, the pair can breathe a little easier. But only for a moment. They've got a surge of business ahead of them, no doubt. Let's just hope there will still be room for us locals.
