Review for Gustafson Brothers Service Center
Dianne G. on 01/10/2014
Dianne said they did a very good job and were very professional. Kathy was awesome with the follow-up and on top of things. The work looks great. Her vehicle took over a month. Beginning the work was delayed a week waiting for a claim to be filed. Her vehicle was then delayed another week waiting for the tow company to send an inspector for the damage they did.

Youngest children have better social skills thanks to their older brother or sister
Three-year-old children growing up with an older brother or sister are more socially developed than the eldest children of the family were at the same age. Sheila van Berkel has reached that conclusion after studying 390 different families. PhD defence 10 March.
Imitating their siblings
Younger children are more empathic, better at sharing and more obedient that their oldest siblings were at that same age. From the data gathered, Van Berkel concludes that siblings already start influencing each other's development at a very young age. 'Brothers and sisters are learning from each other whenever they are arguing or playing together. Younger children learn to imitate the social behaviour of their brothers and sisters. The interactions between their brother or sister and their parents also influences them, as it teaches the younger children what is and isn't acceptable at a faster rate.'
Parents have more experience
Another possible explanation for these differences in social progress could be found in the experience that parents have gained while raising their first child. Van Berkel speculates that parents are more capable of stimulating the social development of their younger children because they've already done it all before.
A study of 390 families
The notion that younger children imitate the behaviour of older brothers and sisters isn't new, but Van Berkel's research is one of the few large-scale studies that looks at various aspects of social development over a longer period of time. Over the past four years, she visited 390 different families at least once a year. Each of these families had at least two children; the oldest participating child was about three years old, while the youngest was just one.
Filming the interaction between parents and children
During these visits, various domestic situations were filmed to gain a better understanding of how fathers, mothers and children all interact with each other. Van Berkel and her Leiden colleagues filmed situations such as sharing a pack of raisins and children receiving instructions from mum and dad. The parents also filled in questionnaires about the behaviour of their children.
Young children tend to be more rebellious
From the results it has become apparent that the youngest children develop just one less-favourable social characteristic: they tend to be more rebellious and aggressive than their eldest sibling. 'That's probably because they feel the need to stand up to their brother or sister to get attention from their parents,' Van Berkel explains.
Only girls with an older brother show less impulsive behaviour than their older sibling
The study also revealed another interesting result: girls with an older brother form the only group of children exhibiting less impulsive behaviour than their eldest sibling. No such differences were seen in groups of two brothers, two sisters or even in families with a younger brother and an older sister. 'Boys typically show more impulsive behaviour. This could have something to do with conventions in sex-specific upbringing, as parents are more likely to correct impulsive behaviour in girls than they would in boys.'
More awareness is needed to improve social interaction within families
Van Berkel's research also revealed that differences in social behaviour patterns decrease as children grow up. Nonetheless, she still advocates more awareness about the effects of social interaction within a family. 'More attention should be given to the effects of brothers and sisters on the social/emotional development of children, both in academic studies and in counselling for parents.'

Flaherty Unveils Path to Surplus
By Paul Vieira
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was true to his word in predicting the government would record a sizable surplus in 2015, or around the same time his Conservative Party faces re-election in a national poll. And the plan hinges on further spending cuts, asset sales and an expectation bureaucrats won't spend all the cash allotted to them.
The Finance Department's annual fall update indicated an improved fiscal profile over the next three years, leading to an expected hefty surplus in 2015-16 of 3.7 billion Canadian dollars ($3.53 billion) or nearly five times what was anticipated in the 2013 budget, introduced just eight months ago.
The push toward a surplus in 2015 has taken on increased importance for the Conservative government, which has been dogged for nearly a year by a senate expense-claim controversy that's pushed their polling numbers down to their lowest level since coming to power in early 2006. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is keen, instead, to reinforce his government's competent stewardship of economic policy and the public purse.

Yield and P uptake were increased by increasing the water solubility or decreasing the granule size of the fertilizers. There was a water-solubility ✕ granule-size interaction but solubility had little influence on yields with the 40-mesh or smaller materials. The effectiveness of fertilizers having 47% or more solubility tended to be independent of size. The influence of solubility on yield and P uptake was reduced with successive cuttings or by incubating the soil-fertilizer system before cropping.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

MONTREAL - Chipper Jones said that it was imperative that the Braves win Wednesday and carry momentum into tonight's showdown against the Phillies.

Mission accomplished, thanks in large part to Russ Ortiz and a surging offense that produced 10 hits against Expos ace Livan Hernandez in a 6-1 victory, giving the Braves back-to-back series wins for the first time this season.
The Braves punished Hernandez and the Expos' bullpen, as Jones snapped a 1-all tie with a run-scoring single off the 6-foot-2, 240-pound right-hander in the fifth and home runs by Rafael Furcal and Mark DeRosa in the seventh and eighth put the game out of reach.
Furcal also had a pair of singles, a walk, and scored three runs, while Adam LaRoche had three hits, including a pair of doubles, and DeRosa had two hits and knocked in two runs, his first multi-hit, multi-RBI game since April 28.
In pitching his first complete game, Ortiz was dominant after surrendering a run on three hits in the first, allowing only two singles the rest of the way, none after the second.

He retired 22 of the final 23 Expos he faced, including the final 17 in a row, a walk in the fourth the only blemish during that stretch.
Bad defense cost Ortiz a run in the first, when first baseman LaRoche tossed away Endy Chavez's tapper, Jamey Carroll's bunt advanced Chavez to third, and Jose Vidro's line single to center made it 1-0.
Ortiz stranded runners on first and third the next inning, then retired the Expos' No. 7-8 hitters, Terrmel Sledge and Brian Schneider, with a runner in scoring position in the fourth.
Ortiz, a 2-0 winner over the Dodgers last Friday in his last start, had hardly been dominating against the Expos. The Braves' ace was 6-5 in 12 career starts against them, with a 3.89 ERA. In 78 2/3 innings, he had allowed 64 hits and 46 walks.
The Braves, 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position in Tuesday night's loss, scored a run in the second off Hernandez and would have had more if second baseman Vidro hadn't made a terrific stop on Nick Green's smash.
Andruw Jones rifled a double into the left field corner with one out and DeRosa, staring at his .199 average on the center field scoreboard, sent a double down the right field line to score Jones, just his second RBI since May 11.
The Braves loaded the bases with two out the next inning, but didn't score when Andruw Jones took a called third strike. During a subsequent argument with home plate umpire Bill Welke, manager Bobby Cox was tossed, his third ejection of the season.
Furcal's single led off the fifth and two outs later Chipper Jones' single gave Ortiz a 2-1 lead. Johnny Estrada followed with a run-scoring double off the wall in right-center, upping his team-leading RBI total to 28.
Hernandez, who came into the game having lost eight of 10 career decisions to the Braves, was tagged for another run in the seventh, when Furcal launched his 1 and 1 mistake over the right field wall, his second home run of the season.
Tempers flared in the seventh, when Hernandez hit Estrada in the right leg with a curve. On reaching first base, Estrada and Hernandez exchanged words, and when Estrada started toward the mound, both benches emptied. Umpires quickly restored order and the two teams returned to their dugouts without incident.

It is common practice that if a defendant to a criminal or regulatory prosecution indicates their intention to plead guilty to charges, they will attempt to gain insight in to the likely sentence prior to formally entering the plea. In this case, four recent decisions have re-defined the prosecutor's role in sentencing proceedings for both criminal and regulatory prosecutions. The practice of a criminal prosecutor offering submissions on sanction range at sentencing judge in this consideration, was redefined drastically in 2013 with the High Court of Australia's decision in Barbaro v The Queen; Zirilli v The Queen [2013] HCA 2. Since this time, Barbaro has been interpreted by R v Ogden [2014] QCA 89, CMB v Attorney General for New South Wales [2015] HCA 9 and Director, Fair Work Building Industry Inspectorate v Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union [2015] FCAFC 59, the latter of which has extended to applicability of Barbaro to regulatory prosecution practice.[1]
The practical consequence is that these decisions have restricted the ability of a prosecutor to engage in negotiation between prosecutor and defendant where the defendant seeks to gain insight in to their likely penalty upon sentence.
Following these cases, the sentencing courts in criminal or regulatory prosecutions will no longer request or accept a submission from the prosecutor of an available sentencing range. Where one is agreed between the prosecutor and defendant, it will likely go only to demonstration of remorse, and other relevant considerations discussed below. The indeterminacy of agreed sanctions likely means that prosecutors will be more reluctant to offer a sentence range to a defendant without informing them of the effect of these decisions.
However, it remains the duty of the prosecutor to assist the court. The prosecutor should therefore as far as they are able without offending their guiding principles, do the following:
- Agree to factual matters with the defendant and present them to the court; [2]
- Agree to, or make submissions on, the application of the law to these factual matters; [3]
- Supply comparable sentencing decision transcripts to the defendant and the court;[4]
- Make submissions regarding their factual similarity and seriousness in light of the agreed facts. [5]
The most significant practical repercussion of these cases is that a defendant may no longer confidently rely on an agreement following plea bargaining with the prosecution. These decisions will create uncertainty for defendants when intending to plead guilty to prosecution matters.
Weighing against this disadvantage to a defendant are the following principles as relevant to sentence:
- The determination of the appropriate sentence is one that rests solely with the court;[6]
- Any agreement or submissions on sentence by a prosecution (or as agreed between the prosecution and defence) is no more than an expression of opinion;[7]
- There is no reason to divert from this view in regard to regulatory prosecution proceedings;[8]
- The uncertainty created by these principles for defendants is an inevitable consequence of entrusting prosecutions to the judiciary.[9]
In reality, where comparative sentences are provided by the prosecution, the defendant will have some idea as to a sentence which may be imposed, however as previously noted there will be some degree of uncertainty. A defendant will then make submissions at sentence regarding the timing of their plea,[10] demonstrations of remorse[11] and/or any evidence of assistance offered or given to the authorities which is in some way deserving of leniency.[12] These submissions will be measured by the court against considerations of public interest and public perception of the judicial system.[13] None of which have been altered by the recent decisions.

How do we restore relationships when they find themselves in trouble? First I'd like to talk about some of the causes of relationship trouble. I believe this can be most simplified in two categories:
A. Lack of Relationship Integrity
Lack of relationship integrity is much like lack of personal integrity where we allow ourselves and our partner to let betrayal, lies, omissions and secrets become an acceptable part of the way we relate to one another. This includes the big things like affairs and addictions, as well as the small things like not keeping agreements made with one another and/or yourself.
B. Withholding Love
Withholding love includes acts of criticism, using hurtful and mean words/gestures, ignoring, being unwilling to recognize or solve problems, and physical abuse. Again withholding love can be very obvious – as in battery or physical violence; or it can be subtle such as contemptible looks or gestures.
For either of these categories you will have to decide if your relationship is healthy and fulfilling, or if you are content and satisfied. The range of 'healthy' is up to you. I often suggest that couples read books about healthy relationships to see if theirs has some of these qualities. Often times our experience in relationships and our models are distorted and we think this is just the way it is. I had a young man in my office recently describing his parent's relationship, and he said that they fight all the time and sleep in separate rooms, but this is just the way marriage is after 25+ years. Hmmm.
Read 3 Easy Steps to Open, Honest, & Effective Communication here.
#1 Surrender the Victory
Surrender the victory means to give up the 'right' fighting, you know, fighting to be right. If you are fighting to be right someone has to be wrong, and when this happens in your relationship the relationship losses. There is no true victory when you fight with your partner about who is right.
#2 Humble Yourself
A small dose of humility goes a long long way. By this I mean letting your partner and your relationship be your teacher. Be in your relationship as a curious child – learning with humble gratitude about yourself, your partner and the nature of relating in a healthy way. If you can't imagine humbling yourself to your partner, imagine humbling yourself to the power of love. Let the love between you both be the cliff in which you rise up to and then jump off of soaring to new heights fueled by this love. I know you can do it.
#3 Take Care of Your Emotions
Find alternative ways to identify and process your emotions. They are yours – your partner did not cause them. They are in you, and you have the responsibility to take care of your own feelings. Do not spew them on one another.
#4 Be Nice
This is so simple and it takes so little effort. To repeat an old cliché, practice random acts of kindness, but do it with your partner – without an agenda or an expectation. Just do it because you can and because you probably need to. We are often kinder to strangers than we are to our beloveds.
#5 Be Patient
Having said this I ask you to Be Patient. If we aren't used to our partner being nice to us, we may become suspicious. We also may have a difficult time receiving positive feedback or acts of kindness. Please do not let this discourage you from giving them. The energy of giving and receiving is the same, it is a circuit. Give, and give without an agenda.
#6 Walk Away From Conflict
If things get heated walk away, but you must also come back to it when the water has settled and calmly, respectfully, responsibly and lovingly talk about what happened. This is absolutely essential. Walking away includes coming back.
#7 Be Grateful
It is so very easy to dismiss your partner's role, support, help, encouragement, desires, etc. because of familiarity. Start looking for the positives, the everyday things that without them in your life, you'd miss them or suffer in some way. I have a great experiment for you to do right now. Stop reading and look around the room you are in – just take in whatever you happened to see. NOW, do it again, but think the color red. What happens? You now have a visual filter of red and the pinks, oranges, maroons, mauves all start to look red. Do you get it? You have the power to change your filter. You can intentionally put on a filter that sees love, support, encouragement, joy, beauty, etc. instead of what you have been seeing.
#8 Respect Boundaries
Practice respect in your relationships. If someone asks for some time or space to sort through their emotions and evaluate their actions, give it to them. Do not be demanding in this manner, you will not have a good outcome or elicit love and trust. Violation of boundaries is the number one cause of resentment in relationship. Therefore you are responsible for identifying, communicating and honoring boundaries.
#9 Take Intentional Time
Take planned and intentional time every week to immerse yourself in your relationship. Make your relationship a priority. Create sacredness and safety to talk, to love, to touch, to romance, to resolve, to restore, to rekindle, to just be with one another. In the end you will not look back and be happy you got the dishes done or watched that football game. However, your heart will be filled full if you can look back on your relationship and know you were present, you loved well, and you invested your heart and your time wisely. These are the dividends that pay off.
#10 Love
Remember The Vibration of Love Heals. It is only the vibration, the intention, the activation of love that heals – nothing else. When anything else is present it is based out of fear, and fear never heals. In a committed love relationship if one is hurting, the other is also hurting. Be the one to shift the fear to love. When we let fear lead we create more fear and then we've got a mess to climb out of. Einstein put it this way, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Commit to doing things differently, and allow love to grow and your relationships to heal. Let love, patience, and understanding lead the way, and watch your relationships become that which you always imagined real love to be.

The Dragon: A European Deity?
The Dragon is yes witnessed at european fairy tales. Connected always with ages of magic. And with wizards, usually opposed to them.
If you sit for a minute and think about it, how much do you personally consider the Dragon as a 'european deity'? I mean, yes it is used in Europe but in the far east it has much larger acceptance and is valued maybe much more and in different ways, up to this day. Maybe this is where its tradition came to the european lands in the first place?

Re: Dragon: A European deity?
If you go to any underground or even mainstream danceclubs in europe, especially the trance ones, what are you going to witness before your eyes?
Young people, european youths, "dancing" in way that imitates the 'dragon'!
In hip hop music too, negros move their body in the rythym, as if it was a dragon's body.
I dont know if you can understand what i m talking about, it has to do with symbolic movements, etc. that are inspired of course by the music.
However, in the european tales, we are told that the hero slayed the dragon, or the mighty wizard deafeated the evil dragon. Not that they danced like dragons!
I hope at least people here understand what i mean, i am not a (complete) idiot lol for discussing how people dance as dragons, all i am saying is that in the cultural mix on current european soil, and of course in america as well, all over the western world, the dragon as a symbol, even as a tatoo, or a t-shirt theme, has become largely accepted and even mainstream! Now, this could be argued that is a sign of the Chinese race slowly taking over the planet, and European markets of course!! lol
Someone else could argue that the dragon is as 'indigenous' in the west as it is in China. Who knows for certain?

The dragon is a feminine, chthonic and aquatic symbol.

Accusations against his books claimed 'many [children] will be too strongly sucked into Pullman's narrative to be able ever again to explore faith without a Pullman-esque bias' (Times, 18 October 2000).
Perhaps this is a compliment: the statement attributes to His Dark Materials an enormous amount of power in shaping the minds, identities and beliefs of child readers.
It is therefore ironic that Pullman is now apparently returning the compliment by fearing corruption in the form of a story. It seems to me that in the 21st century, democracy faces one of its greatest challenges in our views of child development. What democracy fears words and ideas?
Helen Davis
MA Children's Literature
University of Reading Oxfordshire
Of course Pullman hates the Narnia novels. The Christianity in Narnia is subtle (some people manage to miss it entirely, like most readers of Tolkien), whereas the anti-Christianity, and especially the anti-Catholicism, in Pullman's work is painfully and tediously obvious and obsessive. Pullman is wholly parasitic in relation to Christianity, and presupposes a high degree of familiarity with it, beyond what often exists in fact. Pullman's trilogy concludes with sexual intercourse between two children of about 12. Is it back to this that future generations are to look when recalling the formative books of childhood?
David Lindsay
County Durham
CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia are either devoid of Christian virtue with no trace of love and Christian charity or they represent a dangerous means of promulgating Christian teaching to the minds of impressionable children. Perhaps what really worries Pullman is that young people will abandon his form of postmodernist confusion in favour of children's literature, which has stood the test of time.
Professor Andrew Henley Llandre
Philip Pullman may object to The Chronicles of Narnia but the criticisms he levels at CS Lewis could be turned on his own writing. The His Dark Materials trilogy evangelistically promotes atheist and humanist views; could this not also be 'thinly veiled propaganda'? The books also reveal Pullman's own prejudice - against the Christian religion.

Sound Off: Nick Frost & Simon Pegg's 'Paul' - What Did You Think?
by Alex Billington
March 18, 2011
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Fugitive. Celebrity. Slacker. Joker. Paul. While Edgar Wright was off making Scott Pilgrim, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg teamed up to not only write the script but also star in Paul, directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland). The adventure begins at the San Diego Comic-Con and takes them to Area 51, where they pick up an actual talking alien named Paul, voiced by Seth Rogen. Was it actually funny? How is the comedy? Is Rogen amusing as the wacky alien or do Pegg and Frost run the show? If you've seen it, leave a comment below and let us know what you thought of Paul!
To fuel the fire, I enjoyed Paul, it's a lot of fun and packed full of tons of great geek references, from classic sci-fi films to Comic-Con and everything in-between. Pegg and Frost are awesome and I even enjoyed Rogen as Paul. In fact, he was my favorite character, as I thought Pegg and Frost tried a bit too hard to be too geeky (there's a weird thing with them being perceived as gay that gets a little old). I don't think it was as good as it could've been, and the script goes to some odd places. There's a lot of religious context that I liked hearing (especially from Paul), but it felt as if the bigger ideas were toned down to make room for more commercial humor, which I don't enjoy as much. I hate to use this cliche, but it works perfect here: good, but not great.
What did you think of Paul? Hilarious sci-fi-nerd-comedy smorgasbord or an unfunny mess?
We will remove any comments that indicate you have not seen the movie, as this area is meant to discuss the film only once you have seen it and can talk about your thoughts. Please keep the comments civilized!

Touch the ocean, Your Ocean! The award-winning Touch the Ocean: The Power of Our Collective Emotions, by celebrated craniosacral therapist, James Nemec, narrates compelling stories of heart centered presence and ocean healing. Journey again beyond traditional medicine with this volume of actual case histories performed on a massage table and now in the ocean. While listening to the moment-by-moment details of sessions with dolphins and clients, learn how to blend with nature and touch the ocean, wherever you are located. Discover the sounds within the sounds, and stories our bodies can tell! With oceanic music by Rusty Crutcher from his "Ocean Eclipse," and an Ivy League endorsement for Afterward, the Audio Book also draws on the sounds of same Florida ocean that Nemec's "CraniOcean" sessions are performed in. You are there. We are also asked a niggling question, just as our moods can be influenced by the weather, a bright day can make us cheerful, a stormy day sad, can we in turn, collectively, influence the weather and weather patterns? This question is based on clinical observations made by the Author while performing sessions in the ocean with colleagues– no one else would dare report it. These are nurturing, healing stories that organically arise, stories our bodies tell, uncovered through the work of craniosacral therapy and in the ocean. Non-surgical, non-intrusive, light touch, hands-on "craniosacral" therapy is safe for newborns and the elderly and is often considered a "last hope" by many for a healthy life. Nemec invites his readers to experience and receive the ancient wisdom that arises from their own bodies, through this therapy, to open the doors to a renewal of health and well-being. Perfect for warm Summer or cold Winter listening, why not find out for yourself? Even if you have read only this far, you are ready.
"Simple and magically beautiful. Miraculous." – (Blythe Stratton)
"This may be one of the best readings of all time.... I had a really good mental voice in my head for this book, but Nemec's own is MUCH better. This is a real work of art on every level.... The way I look at it is that James Nemec needs a team. He does not merely hit home runs. He only hits home runs, and only with bases loaded. Get on base and let him slug you home." (Newlpost, Amazon.com )
"A modern day Siddhartha" (Ashley Gasque)
"James Nemec has leapfrogged Jung, and has ridden chaos theory in the universe of the mind – the collective mind – the group think of society." (Roy Nuzzo, MD, Surgeon, Diplomat of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Rutgers, and former U.S. Naval Officer)
"Designed for patients of this nonintrusive, light-touch healing art." (Publishers Weekly Select)

Cavern Released!
My second foray into a writing collaboration with David Wood has resulted in Cavern, a Dane Maddock (Kindle Worlds) Adventure.
A deadly Enemy seeks an ancient power.
When an old journal falls into Dane Maddock's hands, he and Bones Bonebrake find themselves caught up in a search for a lost excavation site and the secret it hides. But the journal holds more than meets the eye.
Already at odds with dangerous local rivals, Maddock and Bones soon find themselves in another race with a clandestine organization called the Trident, who are bent on securing a lethal prize.
Can Maddock and Bones survive what lies deep within the CAVERN?
If you're interested or even curious, you can find where to get your copy and more here: Cavern
The Dane Maddock Series is a little like a modern Indiana Jones, with an old pulp novel feel. The first novel in the series I read was Quest. My personal favorite is Icefall. Consider jumping in on those, and more. You can learn more about David Wood, his writings (including the Dane Maddock Series) here: David Wood's Website

Brutus V
Here's a pic of Brutus V.
He replaces Brutus IV from last year, who went home with a student...a graduating senior who had fed him each morning. Reports as of September is that he is doing well.
Brutus V is a classroom 'donation' from a student, who saw that I was preparing my tank and had an extra Betta fish that she did not want.
He looked sort of unhealthy...but after a couple weeks in his new tank, Brutus looks to be thriving, including more color. :)

Influences: Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
Virtually every writer is influenced by what they learned and enjoyed growing up. The movie, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, really captured my attention as a youth.
Heck, if you've read Flank Hawk (and the other novels in the First Civilization's Legacy Series) and have seen this movie, you may recognize that the ogres in my novels are reminiscent of the troglodyte in the film.

Conan the Destroyer Theme (Orchestra View)
I came across this remake of the Conan the Destroyer theme music, and thought it was interesting to watch the director and musicians recreate the classic music.
Okay 'classic' is what I would call it, maybe not so many others. Still, it's one of my favorite movies--just fun action/adventure.
Unfortruantely, in the trailer, Malak (the thief that accompanies Conan, played by Tracey Walter) is not highlighted. Yet, I think his part adds a lot to the movie.

American Civil War, Hochenwalt Files, and Besieged
So, right now I am in the middle of listening to The American Civil War, one of the Great Courses. Pretty interesting. Reminds me a lot of what I'd learned back when I was an active Civil War Re-enactor. Plus, learning some new things.
Just finished Shades of Gray, the Hochenwalt Files by Addie J. King. A good read, especially if you enjoy urban fantasy with lycanthropes in the plot.
Waiting for Besieged to be released (tomorrow). The next installment of the Iron Druid Chronicles, by Kevin Hearne. I'll probably listen to the audiobook version, narrated by Luke Daniels, before I actually get to read the print version.

Current Listen: Why Evil Exists
Currently I am listening to Why Evil Exists. The objective is to expand my knowledge and understanding, both just for my own benefit, and to benefit my writing.
This one has many chapters/lectures that I found very riveting and challenging. Others, I have to admit, I kind of zoned out at parts.
Anyway, it covers views and perspectives of evil from ancient times up to modern, examined through various faiths, philosophies, histories, fiction and even poetry.

Follow Up from Westerville Presentation on World Building
Due to a large reception for a new director at the Westerville Public Library (scheduled long after I was scheduled to present) I presented in the Staff Lounge, which worked out perfect for the 14 that attended. Most were writers, but one attendee was a film maker and one enjoyed learning about new things and had attended my previous presentation at the library.

Speaking afterwards with Ms. Huffman, the Program and Community Engagement Director, we laid out a plan for a presentation engagement again next summer :)
It's an awesome library, and they have a lot going on for their patrons and the local community.

Efforts to Improve Knowledge and Skills for Writing
I listen to a lot of audiobooks, trying to make efficient use of time while driving or doing mundane work around the house.
Normally I listen to fictional tales, but sometimes I focus on nonfiction, mainly history related to World War II or the U.S. Civil War.
Recently, I've switched up and have been listening to these two titles:
|Obviously to assist with refresher on grammar rules and usage
|To provide insight and background information for my fantasy novels

An Interview with Author Kelsey C. Lewandowski
Welcome to Up Around the Corner, Kelsey. Could you tell us a little about yourself and what inspired you to become a writer?
Well, I am currently a high school student in the process of finishing up my junior year. I published my debut novel, Abyss, in March of my freshman year (2015) and published my second novel, Elders, this past November.
As a kid, I loved reading and was reading chapter books by first grade. I think it was around that time (so, very early on) that I found a passion for storytelling. I loved hearing about stories and reading them, and actually began to understand the immense amount of thought that went into them. When I was still in elementary school, I decided that someday I would write a book and have it published.
Please share with us, one book that you recently read that you think readers of this blog might enjoy.
I recently revisited Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I had read a few of his short stories before reading this book and decided to check it out. In this book, some of the fears of the Red Scare (which was occurring during the time Bradbury wrote the novel) are reflected in a 'backwards' futuristic society where firemen start fires and literature is not meant to be read. This idea of controlling thought and emotion to the point where freedom is just an illusion plays a huge role in this storyline. The thoughts of the characters who do decide to break the mold are truly engaging as well as thought-provoking.
Tell us a little about your most recent book, Elders.
Elders is a story about two characters living in a futuristic society in which youth can be bought. This defining factor shapes their society by creating extreme social and political divisions between those who can and cannot afford to buy their youth. My writing in this story follows the specific impact of this society's structure on the characters Cassius and Evangeline. The two are on opposite sides of this society, but still cross paths. By switching viewpoints, I hope that the reader is able to understand their vast differences in background, but ultimately the similarities that tie them together.
Stepping away from writing and books for a moment, what is one of the most interesting and/or exciting places you've had the opportunity to visit?
I enjoy traveling very much and am very grateful to have had the opportunity to travel to many different places. By far, my favorite trip was to the Hawaiian island of Maui. The nature there is stunning and the roads that wind up the mountains show incredible views.
|A View of the Honokalani Black Sand Beach
What events might you have coming up?
On April 29th, I will be attending a local book signing hosted by the Gathering Volumes bookstore (located by the shops at South Boundary in Perrsyburg) in support of Independent Bookstore Day. Many local authors will be attending this event in order to sign copies of their books, discuss their writing, and share their work with the community. However, this event is not solely dedicated to authors, so anyone that would like to come show their support can also check out local musicians and artists, as well as various other activities planned throughout the day. (See www.gatheringvolumes.com for more information!)
[There is a scheduled rain date of April 30th.]
As we're closing in on the end of the interview, Kelsey, is there anything else you'd like to add or share?
I would just like to thank you for taking the time to interview me and include me in your blog!
Where Kelsey's books can be obtained:
Abyss on Amazon and Barnes & Noble
Elders on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Interview with Denise Phillips, Owner of Gathering Volumes
Welcome to Up Around the Corner, Denise. Could you tell us a little about yourself and what inspired you to open a bookstore?
Thank you very much for having me. I am a wife, mother, and former IT professional. My husband grew up in Perrysburg, and we moved to Perrysburg in 2011. Growing up, my parents were avid readers, especially my father who was generally not without a book. After moving here, I was surprised to learn that there weren't any independent bookstores nearby. My family and I would drive up to Ann Arbor and there we could walk to multiple independent bookstores. After my father passed away in 2013 I decided that it was time for a change in my career. I wanted to do something that would make a positive impact in the community, a place to gather that wasn't a bar or restaurant and a place that was family friendly. I decided that for my family an independent bookstore would be an improvement to the community. It took me two years to put together a business plan and find the courage to move forward with Gathering Volumes.
What, as a bookstore owner, have you found to be your biggest challenge and what has been one of your most satisfying successes?
By far the biggest challenge for me has been learning about marketing. I am still learning about this aspect of business ownership and I seek out all the advice and help that I can get. The challenge is determining the best way to reach out to like-minded individuals, those interested in a brick and mortar bookstore and who want to shop local as well as how to convince individuals to stop in and give it a shot. Making mistakes is part of learning and I have made mistakes, but I am gaining experience from the mistakes that I have made. I am most proud when a customer returns for a second visit and has loved the book we helped them find previously and is excited to find another.
If there was one book you could have those customers who enter Gathering Volumes read, what would it be, and why would you recommend it?
Wow, that is a difficult question. My goal is always to help customers find a book that will give them what they need at that time. Whether they need peace, excitement, intrigue, or knowledge I strive to recommend a book that addresses that need. I often recommend "The Alchemist" to customers, particularly if they feel that they need a change in their life. Although it is already one of the bestselling books in history, there are still plenty of people that haven't read "The Alchemist" and for a fairly short book, it packs a lot of life lessons into less than 200 pages.
A common question(s) you probably get: How do you compete with Amazon? Why should readers choose to shop with you as opposed to the online behemoth?
I get that question quite often. There are a few reasons that I choose to shop at local brick and mortar stores. Local stores give back to the community in ways Amazon does not and cannot. Gathering Volumes has been open for less than 9 months and in that time, we have hosted 6 fundraising events for local schools, where a percentage of sales goes back to the schools, a food drive for a local food pantry, and a book drive. We host story times 3 times a week, author events nearly every week, book clubs for all ages, as well as activities for local organizations. We also showcase and sell local artists works in store. Our biggest event to date will be on April 29, Independent Bookstore Day, we will be hosting over 30 local authors, a local homebrew club, and providing children's activities.
Of course, there is also the experience of being in a book showroom versus the online shopping experience. We give customers the opportunity to see, touch, and smell the book prior to purchase. They can sit in a comfortable chair, open the book up to any page, and read some of the book. They also can discuss books, get recommendations, and spend time with other people that love books. This isn't just from me by the way; many customers offer suggestions to other customers. Of course, it is cheaper for Amazon to operate a book warehouse than to operate a book showroom and because of their size they can push for and get greater discounts and concessions. That is where we get into a discussion of price. It is impossible for Gathering Volumes to compete with Amazon solely in price and I don't delude myself into thinking otherwise. However, I believe that many of us are starting to realize that we can't make all our decisions based on price. Without getting too political I will say that there is a growing population that is discovering that they would prefer to keep their money local to sustain local culture, jobs, and taxes as well as to promote businesses that they can feel confident are doing the right thing.
You mentioned the Shop Local Movement, have you seen it in action at Gathering Volumes?
I have many customers come in and express that they prefer to shop locally. I also have customers come in asking me how I think I can compete with Amazon and the big box stores. I do not think that the Shop-Local Movement has caught on as strongly as is needed to keep Perrysburg real estate full and thriving with unique, local businesses. A number have closed recently and there are several open store fronts in town. I think as a theory most people understand and agree with the concept of shopping local, but I am not sure that the number of people that act on it throughout the year is high enough yet to save cities like Perrysburg from becoming full of generic real estate where we find the exact same stores and restaurants with no local flavor. I have heard of campaigns where people pledge to spend a certain amount or percentage of their monthly budget locally to ensure that they keep that money local and to "put their money where their mouth is." I am interested to see if this campaign takes off or not.
What events do you have coming up over the spring and summer at Gathering Volumes?
Right now, we are focused on our Independent Bookstore Day event. 450 Independent Bookstores nationwide will be participating in Independent Bookstore day on April 29, 2017 and Gathering Volumes is one of them. Gathering Volumes will host multiple authors both inside and outside of the store, children's activities such as make your own Little Golden Book, The Glass City Mashers will be offering samples of beer brewed locally, and Mom's Mobile Mission will be collecting non-perishable food. We will open an hour early, at 10 am, for a special Elephant & Piggie story time, coffee, tea, and doughnuts. The store will also stay open late for Harry Potter Trivia and snacks from 7 to 9 pm. Finally, the store will have special deals and giveaways all day long including a signed short story by Michael Chabon, a signed short story by Rainbow Rowell, an Elephant & Piggie onesie, A Literary Cocktail book that has authors favorite drink recipes and more.
In May we will be hosting Tracey Hecht, the author of the Nocturnals series for Middle Grade Readers for a virtual visit and will also be hosting a Nocturnals party where the kids will participate in games such as Free the Fox and Flashlight Reading as well as dinner and a treat. We will also be hosting Kim Dinan, author of the inspirational book "The Yellow Envelope" on May 20th. On May 6th, we will be hosting 40 young authors from Woodland Elementary School as well as Children's Book Author Holly L. Niner with her latest "The Day I Ran Away."
As we are approaching summer break we will also be bringing back our popular STEM classes for kids. Last year our Build Your Own Super Soaker class was extremely popular.
As we're closing in on the end of the interview, Denise, is there anything else you'd like to share or add?
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to share what we are all about at Gathering Volumes and to thank you for sharing your talent with us by allowing us to stock your books.
You're most welcome, Denise and thank you as well.

Trying to backup and restore a wordpress site on a subdirectory
I have a wordpress site running on http://abc.com
I want to move the site to abc.com/wp
So I installed wordpress on abc.com/wp. I used UpdraftPlus to backup everything from the old install and restore them onto the new install. On the new install, I changed admin->general-> both site addresses to point to abc.com/wp, so that I can do a quick sanity check before making it live. After that I could not go back to the new install's wordpress admin via abc.com/wp/wp-admin. After I enter user name and password, it will just pause for a few second and nothing will come up. Any ideas what is going on?

Fans of Middle-Earth might have disappointed to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey missing from the big Oscar categories this year. Although, it probably didn't come as a surprise to anyone who actually read the lukewarm reviews for 's first Hobbit movie. Anyway, the award season is not over yet! That's right, it's the big one! The Empire Awards! Wooo!
OK, so The Empire awards aren't exactly up there with the Oscars, but at least it's one of the more respectable movie magazine award ceremonies. The Hobbit is certainly being represented at Empire HQ, it's been nominated for the following categories:
- Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy
- Best Film
- Best Director – Peter Jackson
- The Art of 3D
- Best Actor – Martin Freeman
The big difference with the Empire Awards is that they are voted by you, the movie going public. As such, it features a few more of the big summer blockbusters in its list of nominees. The Hobbit will be going up against Django Unchained, The Avengers, Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises in this years Best Film category. Head over to here to vote for The Hobbit or your other favorite movies of 2012.
Did you think it was a travesty that The Hobbit wasn't nominated for the major Oscars? Let us all all about it below.

It's time for an audit of our slang.
Esquire and The Huffington Post both recently published lists of words, behaviors, and expressions that have run their course and need to come to an end. While I can't agree with every nomination, both lists highlight some intolerable language habits that desperately need to be put down. Among them:
At the End of the Day, It Is What It Is. "Across this great land, roughly 500,000 times a day, one person says this to another person, who nods in agreement, neither of them realizing that they've just participated in the emptiest experience two people can have. No more." [Esq.]
Calling Something the Best _____ Ever. "You can still do this as long as you only do it once in your life. Only one thing can be the best thing ever, so you'd better think long and hard about that scone before you open your mouth." [Esq.]
Cray (Or Cray-Cray ). Crazy just sounds better. Or one of the ten million synonyms for crazy. … When I hear you say "cray" I think you were going to talk about Crayola crayons and had a brain freeze or else Robert Cray, who happens to be a pretty badass blues guitarist. [Huffpo]
Feels. As in, "This story hit me right in the feels" or "oh my feels!" or "so many feels". You experienced an emotion. That photo session, the one where the guy's wife passed away and he recreated their wedding photos with his toddler daughter? WE ALL CRIED. I cried like a tired baby on my couch for a good half hour. They caused feelings, not feels. See also: "I eat my feelings" vs. "I eat my feels". Which one rolls off the tongue with more ease and less irony? No more feels. Please. [Huffpo]
Right Now As in, "Are you kidding me right now?" and "Are you serious right now?" A totally unnecessary utterance that takes time away from constantly saying "figuratively." [Esq.]
Basically, if you speak like James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowel in that hilarious Sprint commercial, you can't expect to be taken seriously.
I submit these words and phrases for retirement as well:
[Event happened], because of course it did. Like "it is what it is," this is a nothing statement that doesn't bear saying. If it was funny the first time, it's not anymore.
Everything you need to know about [subject]. Unless the topic is so inconsequential that it barely warrants attention, such titles should be reserved for tomes.
Because, (noun). Dear God. If there is one way to sound like a snarky, petulant fool, it's to debase the perfectly good conjunction "because" by following it with a single word rather than form a complete thought as dictated by grammar. I don't have to explain why this is grammatically incorrect. Do I?
#Hashtags as punchlines. "Looks like I'll have to settle for a standard black iPhone. #FirstWorldProblems" While we're at it, let's retire "first world problems" too.
Just Sayin'. Adding this statement to one's argument does little more than invalidate any previous claim. I'm still waiting for a Supreme Court justice to use this in a dissenting opinion.
Science says. No, science didn't say anything. Unless you magically have the entire field of science going on record to make an audible claim, say the actual source. (e.g. "Studies show that," or "new research suggests," or "scientists claim.") While new studies often challenge previous understanding, science itself is not so capricious as to change its mind each time new research is published.
STOP EVERYTHING and ... Again? I just resumed my life after heeding the order to drop what I was doing to read Kanye West's unintelligible rant, and watch a cat playing with a slinky before that. Enough.
Meta. As in, "The new Beyonce album is just so meta." This one is interesting in that it's used in an attempt to sound learned, but exposes the speaker as someone who doesn't read. "Meta" means "beyond" in Latin, and in English is predominantly used as a prefix, as in "metaphysics" or "metacarpal." Stop trying to make "meta" happen. It isn't going to happen.
Ratchet. This word is acceptable as a noun meaning a toothed bar or socket wrench, or as a verb meaning to move up or down by degrees. Unacceptable: As an adjective meaning of low quality. There are ample adjectives for this.
That is all. Previously, this was accomplished by a little dot known as a period.
The coolest cool to ever cool. Is your vocabulary that limited that you must resort to using variations of the same word three times? Can you not produce an actual verb or an adjective to modify the object? I know this hardly matters to the worst offenders, but such phrasing is rarely grammatically correct. You don't sound funny. You don't sound silly. You sound like the dumbest dummy to ever dumb.
THIS! Yes? What about it?
Turnt up. Perhaps the most annoying thing about this phrase is its user's insistence on inserting it into any situation that it might mean something. Whether it's intended to mean "drunk," "excited," or anything else, it doesn't really mean anything.
Yes, language evolves. Sometimes new words enter the lexicon and enrich our language. William Shakespeare invented countless words that are commonly used in everyday speech today. Even the new and admittedly annoying word "selfie" serves a definite purpose. Prior to the invention of smart phones with cameras, there was no need for such a word. Now we have one. "Selfie" serves a purpose.
But unlike "selfie" or Shakespeare's contributions, none of the slang words or phrases discussed above fulfill any need in our language. Feel free to continue using the above phrases in obvious jest. Otherwise, the joke's on you.
Enjoy watching two fine actors mock such language in the familiar commercial, and share your nominations for the slang chopping block in the comments below.

Nnabagereka of Buganda
The Nnabagereka is the official title of the Queen consort of the Kingdom of Buganda, a traditional kingdom in modern-day Uganda. The current Nnabagereka is Sylvia Nagginda, who married Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi II of Buganda on 27 August 1999.
This title is a relatively recent one, created in the 20th century. Previously, Buganda tradition had only the King's mother (the Nnamasole, "Queen mother") and one of his sisters (the Lubuga, or Queen sister) as nationally preeminent and powerful. The Nnamasole and the Lubuga each had their respective compounds in the Royal Palace, and the degree of political dominance and influence each held varied from reign to reign. The King's principal wife was meanwhile referred to as the Kaddulubaale, a title that was also held by the principal wife in any household in the kingdom.
King Chwa II (reigned 1899-1939) was the first king whose wife, Lady Irene Nnamaganda, was considered to be foremost among Buganda women. The title Nnabagereka—originally a girl's name from the Mushroom Clan—was chosen as the title of the most pre-eminent woman in the Kingdom.

Springer - Excel 2013 for Business Statistics
Excel 2013 for Business Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Business Problems is published by Springer on November 22, 2014. This book has 260 pages in English, ISBN-10 3319119818, ISBN-13 978-3319119816. PDF is available for download below.
Excel 2013 for Business Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Business Problems.
This is the first book to show the capabilities of Microsoft Excel to teach business statistics effectively. It is a step-by-step exercise-driven guide for students and practitioners who need to master Excel to solve practical business problems. If understanding statistics isn't your strongest suit, you are not especially mathematically-inclined, or if you are wary of computers, this is the right book for you.
Excel, a widely available computer program for students and managers, is also an effective teaching and learning tool for quantitative analyses in business courses. Its powerful computational ability and graphical functions make learning statistics much easier than in years past. However, Excel 2013 for Business Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems is the first book to capitalize on these improvements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel to statistical techniques necessary in their courses and work.
Each chapter explains statistical formulas and directs the reader to use Excel commands to solve specific, easy-to-understand business problems. Practice problems are provided at the end of each chapter with their solutions in an Appendix. Separately, there is a full Practice Test (with answers in an Appendix) that allows readers to test what they have learned.

SUNDANCE, Utah — In recent years, this posh mountain retreat has welcomed an entire constellation of stars -- including Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst, Eva Mendes -- for reasons that have nothing to do with its famous film festival.
They're here for Cirque Lodge, with its four-star dining, state-of-the-art recreation and stunning geography. But to get past the front door takes much more than deep pockets. It also requires a wicked addiction.
