Richardson's phone has also been busy so far during the May evaluation period. "I've gotten a lot of calls over the last few days. Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Tennessee and Northwestern are some of the schools that have called. It's been sort of hectic, and those are just some of the schools that I've been able to talk to on the phone over the last few days."
Could national co-champions USC be the next to offer Richardson? "According to my head coach (Ron Muhitch) Lane Kiffin from USC was able to watch my junior tape, and Coach Kiffin told my coach that he was very impressed with my tape, and that he was going to pass my tape along to the offensive line coach at USC.

"Ahem! Pay attention as I explain how genetic mutation occurs and affects the carrier." It's only been three weeks and already school is proving to be the worst part of my life next to the fact that I'm barely a normal human being. Mrs. Dumbleberg just goes on and on about genetics and other science stuff I already know, that she's putting me to sleep. I wonder if she'd notice if I slipped off for a bit… "MR. RYUU, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I INFORM YOU THAT SLEEPING IS NOT LEARNING?!" Mrs. Dumbleberg slapped her hand on my desk so hard, the whole school could've heard it. Apparently she noticed.
"Approximately six times ma'am, but I already know science and I feel that it's insensible for me to endure this." I never spared even a second to glance at others around me, but the burning gaze of being watched sizzled atop my skin. The new kid, with the sea foam hair stared blankly at me from the back corner of the classroom.
"Well if you think you're so smart, then name three cases of genetic mutation or change, Okami." The teacher spat out my nickname with legitimate hatred, something that never seemed to bother me.
"Ok, hereditary, somatic and polymorphisms." I announced with pride. I remember reading an article on this before--the internet never lies. Mrs. Dumbleberg was about to explode into a million words, but class was over and she retired to her chair. I felt her snake eyes on the back of my neck as class filed out the door. It almost felt like stumbling across a sacred treasure just walking out of there, but I remembered that this is real life and, most likely, nobody cared.
"Come on Kai, we have lunch right after science!" Ross bolted towards the cafeteria chasing his stomach. "Hurry up!" He called from far ahead.
The lunchroom was huge, probably the largest room in the whole school. Everyone knew where to sit, who to sit with and what to eat. "Hey, have you seen the new kid?" Ross glanced around and smiled at me. We turned towards the Haunted Table. Nobody dared to even sit near it ever since little Gregory's brother choked and almost died. Its surface hasn't been eaten upon in years and now the new kid sits alone at the foreboding table.
"Something about him isn't right." I whispered with narrowed eyes. Ross looked like he was going to say something, but Ali quickly cut in.
"What are you guys talking about?" She searched our faces carefully.
"Nothing, just boring guy stuff." I didn't feel like talking about the sea foam-haired boy under the flickering light, but Ross decided to just blurt out our private conversation to the world.
"Oh, we were just talking about the new guy over there." Ross even pointed at him and to my relief, he didn't notice.
"Strange kid, eh?" Ali carefully examined him from a distance, something she picked up from living on the streets as a pickpocket. Somehow she managed to make slumping down next to Ross seem graceful in a way. I always wondered what she did before I fell out of the sky onto her little cobble backstreet. Did she get good grades at that Hogwarts place? Maybe she trained in magic? Does she prefer brains or brawn in a man? I got so caught up in my own thoughts, I didn't realize I was staring into her sea blue eyes so dreamily. "Ahem, I would appreciate it if I could eat my lunch without any unnecessary attention." Ali raised an eyebrow and tilted her head towards a shoulder. I hastily sat up in my seat and removed my hand from my cheek, turning bright red again.
"Oooooh, Kai's love-struck!" Ross cracked up at his own words.
"Nrgh, no I'm not!" My voice sounded way too whiney for a fifteen-year-old and I glanced around in case anybody heard. I wanted to get up and push Ross over, but Ali beat me to it. Satisfied, she returned to poking around in some kind of soupy mush.
"You know, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with any common sense around here. I mean, come on, does one really have to point out every flaw in their classmates?!" Ali flung her hands into the air for extra emphasis. "Oh Kai, my friends were checking you out today . . . again." Ali seemed disappointed.
"Flattering." I grumbled while turning my head to look over my shoulder. Jessica, McKenzie, Olivia and the Gemini sisters, Lia and Kaley, were already turned towards me and giggling like the little schoolgirls they were. All of them except McKenzie, but she's a little quiet. I smiled at her, guessing that's enough reward for not fantasizing over me. She gave me a shy smile back and I twisted around to face my friends again. "Remind me to lock the door at night." Ross made a little note in his head, I could tell by his concentration face. Brr . . . The cafeteria was really cold today and I kept shivering, but, nonetheless, I still felt the flames that forever linger inside of me.
"I can't wait to get back home, I love talking to the villagers!" Ali had been looking forward to this weekend forever.
"It's kind of strange sleeping at school during the week, don't you think?" Ross questioned Ali and me. "Well, maybe not for you two. You guys finally get a chance to sneak out at night. Mrs. Ryuu would be all over you guys if you did that back in the castle." Ross pretended to kiss his hand. "That never happened!" Ali smacked him in the back of the head. I wish I could agree, but there was that one incident two years ago . . . it doesn't count if I never agreed to it right? I shook the memory from my head, despite arguing with myself that I never declined her offer and didn't fight back when she leaned in . . . The loud bellow of the lunch lady thundered threw the room and interrupted every conversation.
"Get outta here, worms!" She held her ladle in the air and wagged it at everyone like a machete. Students immediately ran out the doors, fearing that they might get turned into next week's mystery meat.
"Suppose we should head out ourselves." Ross got up from the table with a grunt and walked outside with Ali trailing behind him. I was busy washing the mess off the seating areas, when the sea foam-haired kid walked up to me. He was shorter than I expected, but he took each step with rising elegance.
"You, tall Asian one, are you ever intrigued by the fantastical dragons of myth?" I was shocked by his question, but what shocked me the most was that I was the only person he has at least attempted to communicate with ever since the morning bell rung. Before I could answer, he jerked his head to his left. "Your friends are waiting, I'm Gehl by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you." I shook his hand and, rather quickly, walked out the door.
"Hey, what was that all about?" Ross instantly stuck to my side. I'm positive there's a magnet in us somewhere.
"Nothing, just small talk." I kept pondering Gehl's question. He looked at me with narrowed eyes and slight hostility, but his voice was calm, sort of like deep velvet. Like a pool of blood.
I didn't sleep that night. My golden eyes stared into the ceiling as if I could see the stars above. I don't know what's worse, sleeping in a cold castle or in a room with Ross and his disgusting feet. The hard mat I slept on felt like the rock underneath. Sighing, probably, the deepest sigh in history, I got up and brushed pass the punching bag that hung from a steel stand. The darkness felt good on my bare skin, like a comforting hug from somebody you've known your whole life. I decided to relax a bit, just breathe and enjoy the still black corridors. A small gust blew through my black hair as I stepped onto the deck of the northernmost tower. The stars shone bright tonight, complementing the lunar lighting. I could see the whole town beneath me, the barren wastelands that surround our establishment and the windy peaks of mountains that I scaled with my bare hands a few years ago. Dark. Lonely. Quiet. Perfect. I'd love to just close my eyes and fall for eternity in these conditions, but I can't cut myself off from the world yet. No, there's a few things I have to do first. I turned and silently returned to the depths of the castle, stopping at both Ali and Ross's rooms. You can never be so sure of your friend's safety these days. I'd take a bullet for them, but then we'd all die because they'd take a bullet for me as well. With the night drawing to a close, I hauled myself back to my room. Nudging the decayed wooden door open with the sharp edges of my shoulder blades, I mindlessly wandered into my acrid dwelling.
"Nrgh, uh." I woke up stiff and aching, rubbing my head and back inefficiently. The pale dawn created the illusion of a glistening castle, but look closely and you can still see the blood stains on the floor, the wall, even the tapestries.
"Hey Kai, Ali and I were going to go down to the stables and help the serfs and farmhands. Want to come?"
"No, I-I have some . . . training to do, and stuff." My friends seemed a little heartbroken, but they quickly recovered.
"Hah, I'll tell you all about how Ross cried like a babe over manual labor." Ali shot Ross a smirk and he came back with:
"Hey now, no need for rivalry. Competition isn't the best motive for this situation." Pained, I watched my friends walk off playfully shoving each other into the stone corridors. I sighed and positioned myself in front of a training dummy, raising my fists. The dummy wobbled violently to the left and the right.
"Hrrraah!" A swift kick to the rib area missed and hit a rack of weapons I primarily use as decoration. The whole thing came crashing down and it resonated throughout the castle.
"Kai, no smashing holes in the walls!" My mom yelled from her studies. Ever since we took the kingdom from my Aunt, my mom has been studying the books she left behind. I barely ever see anybody these days. My friends are busy helping the townsfolk, school doesn't do anything but pay sad excuses for qualified human beings, my mom always has her face buried in some dusty old book and I still have no idea where my crazy aunt or my deadbeat dad is. The weight of these words were starting to tire me. I let them push me to the ground, holding me there in the fetal position. My eyelids closed and for a brisk moment, the world was beautiful. I listened to the wind, the trees, the grass, solitary company they were. The earth tickled my feet and the leaves playfully drifted into my hair. For once, I felt connected to life. For once, my sorrows had bled away, but I suddenly jolted awake and was hit with a bleak reminder as I stared into the dim room around me: This world is cruel.
Small murmurs rose from the table every now and then, thus rendering the dinner hall fairly quiet. We all pretended to eat our more-or-less decent dinner on one end of the large banquet table. The candles from the chandelier flickered high above. I could smell the citrus juice from Ali's fish, her gaze staring into the breaded white meat. Ross had the worst table manners out of all of us, slurping his ramen like a madman, before spitting it out again. My mom tapped her furry, wolf-like feet against the floor, occasionally brushing my toes with her soft fur. Of course, it was only overgrown hair, but I loved it anyways. I grew up in it to be honest.
"Milady, a formal invitation has been issued to Your Majesty." A man ran into the room. He was one of our messengers, intended for our peaceful kingdom only and not scouting out enemy activity. I believe his name was Hermathius, after the god Hermes and he was somewhere in his forties. "Please, no more formalities Herman, hand it over." I watched my mother pluck the letter from the kneeling man's hands.
"Well, what's it say?" Ross yelled through a mouthful of noodles.
"Ahem, the letter reads:
Dearest Kingdom of Atrapax, we humbly invite you to partake in signing a treaty between our kingdoms. Afterwards, you are welcome to join us in a feast, honoring the peace the treaty shall bring forth.
Thank you for your valuable time,
The Royal Vampiric Family."
"A treaty?" I asked, skepticism curling my tongue.
"Free food! I'm in!" Ross sat back in his chair, almost falling over. He quickly regained the little bit of regality he held in his possession.
"Vampires? Heck yeah!" Ali through her fists into the air. I growled quietly under my breath.
"Ross go take a shower and comb your hair, the rest of us will dress our finest and ready ourselves for King Bloodharow." I got up, watching my mom jot down a response to the invitation and hand it to Hermathius.
It was dusk by the time we arrived. The great spiked city gates slowly creaked open and the four of us rode through them silently. The city was quite busy during this odd hour. Vampires of all different shapes and sizes ran through the market. A local band played by the giant fountain in the middle of the circuit. Children played among the rims, a few daring to splash inside. The water glowed an eerie orange from the setting sun. Our small troop paused briefly for a quick chat with the castle gate guard.
"Ah, you must be Atrapax royalty. I can see it in your eyes. You're here for the great feast aren't you? Right this way, if you please." The guard bowed and gestured towards the opening gate. As I rode by, he stopped me behind Ross, Ali and my mom. "This whole thing was the king's son's idea. He's quite fond of you, you know." The gate guard gave me a sly look, which made me usher my horse into a canter to catch up with my friends and mother. Approaching the castle doors, we dismounted and tied the equestrians up in the stables. Taking the steps two at a time, we reached the door in under a minute. The doors swung open and there standing in the entrance, in all his regal glory, was Prince Bloodharow. Gehl Bloodharow.
"Good evening, friends." He bowed, "Ross, you look well."
"Hah, you too!" Ross smiled from ear to ear. Dropping to his knee, the vampire took Ali by the hand. "Allison." Gehl gingerly kissed her wrist and shot me a glowing purple glance as he rose.
"Sup, Gehl. Nice to meet finally meet 'ya" Ali seemed bursting with excitement, in spite of her cool exterior.
"And of course, Mistress Faoiltiama." My mother curtseyed, her false tail swaying slowly. I watched as the Vampiric prince led the way into his fancy, snooty rich-kid domain, with a glare right into me. I pushed back with my own intimidating glare and he turned sharply on his skinny heels. The whole castle was dimly lit, like ours, but the entire place was decorated completely. Statues, busts, chandeliers, candelabras, expensive fabrics--everywhere I look I was surrounded by décor just screaming 'I'm better than you'. "Welcome to the throne room." Halfheartedly explaining each room, Gehl finally stopped us in a long room with a huge throne in the back. King Bloodharow took a small bell from the folds of his regal cape and rang it. Gehl instantly popped up beside the giant bedazzled chair.
"Recite the thing, boy." The disgusting, ragged voice of the Vampiric king whispered to his tiny son.
"Yes father, ahem, The Royal King of all that the Night Touches wishes to propose a treaty to the Kingdom of Atrapax, allying our nations for millennia. If you will be so kind to join the Vampiric Family for a late dinner to discuss the details, we shall welcome you with open arms." Gehl finished by carefully rolling the scroll he was reading.
"I believe my forgetful, no-good son has yet to mention an engagement ceremony involving your female Syren." The king looked down his nose at Gehl.
"Err, F-father, that wasn't part of the treaty!"
"Hush boy, it will unite our kingdoms even more." The king barked at his son and rang the glistening silver bell.
"That won't be necessary, Dark Lord of All." I rolled my eyes. "Our 'female Syren' isn't interested and surely can find a better match." I growled out my Rs. Ali was surprised by my aggressive reaction. What's gotten into him? She thought. No, it can't possibly be that!
"It's quite late, and the kids have school tomorrow. I've decided to stay and discuss the treaty over dinner and send the children home." My mother announced, already pushing us out of the room rather quickly. We began making our way back to the stables, but night had fallen and it was difficult to see. I groped around in the darkness, until I felt wood and heard horses bickering with each other. "Hey girl, how've you been?" I ran my hand down the pinto mare's flank and rubbed her neck. She jolted back, almost rearing. Strange, did I spook her? Can't she smell me? I steadied her, untied the rope that keeps the mare from running off, and mounted, gently prodding her sides to leave for Castle Atrapax. The entire ride I wondered what my pinto was afraid of. She never gets spooked, not by predators, not by fire, nothing. In fact, she responded to my touch, my presence, it was haunting. I shook the thoughts from my mind, but they'd soon return. Very soon.
躁鬱 (Soutsu)
The loud bell rang through my ears. I looked up at the school, its flag waving in the soft breeze. It felt weird to be in a school uniform, but at least it wasn't anything special. Just the normal black, white, blue, plaid, blazer, tie, skirt and optional low cut leggings for the girls, basically the normal prep school outfit. I was content with it anyways, I looked like a character from an anime which was and always will be an undeniable life goal of mine. I stumbled forward, my foot instinctively reinforcing my balance. I completely zoned out and didn't see the students running to class behind my stone-still body.
"Hey Ryuu, see anything interesting?" An eighth grader sneered at me.
"Maybe he saw a unicorn or a fairy." A girl I recognized from P.E. narrowed her eyes with a smirk.
"Older kids are so weird!" A sixth grader, the lowest grade in the school, glared at the group of kids around me. She walked off with her friends.
"How about some magic? Can you do magic, Okami?" The student used one of the nicknames I earned in earlier years. The ring of taunts grew larger and louder. The space between me and all the other students grew smaller and smaller with every passing second. Claustrophobia closing in, all too eager to get its claws on me. Suddenly, the crowd split into two and fell into an eerie silence.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to show his face for once." Tommy Fredricks, a largely built boy with a face like an elephant with butt warts, blocked any means of escape. I could probably beat him up, but I promised myself two years ago that I'd never use the powers that came with being the monster I am. A movement in the distance caught my eye. I wrenched my head away from the foul breath of Tommy. A short, skinny boy with sea foam hair and space purple eyes stared at me with a blank expression. He hid it well, but I could tell he took interest in me.
"Hey, look at me when I'm talking!" Tommy shoved me down on to the unforgiving pavement, scraping my right elbow. Rage immediately jolted awake and chomped on the bit. Just breathe, I told myself. Calm down and everything will be fine, use your words, not your fists. I sat up, eyes half closed in a trance and accepted the daily beatings. I deserve this for what I've done, the pain and suffering I caused over the past two years and before. Eventually the crowd dispersed, whipping away Tommy and his followers. I slowly pushed myself up and limped towards my dorm that for some reason we need. Fumbling for my copy of the key, I stood in front of the secretive door. I could just barely hear a few faint sounds from within. My roommate must have arrived already. The door quietly clicked and I couldn't believe who was bouncing on the bed to the left.
"Hey Kai! How 'ya doing buddy!" Ross smiled at me with his giant smile that just recently began to make my insides shrivel in pain. His large green eyes shone like emeralds in contrast to his brown hair. I'm still not used to seeing his hair in the morning. It takes Ross from half an hour to all morning to gel up his hair into that signature dull spike of his, but without all the grimy substance, his hair lays flat and normal. Maybe it was a change of mind, maybe he finally hit puberty, but he defiantly seemed more mature than when I met him (give-or-take) 8 years ago. "Isn't it exciting? We're roommates!" Ross laughed and fell off his bed. A deep sigh flowed from my jaws, eyes fixed on the floor.
"Yay. I get to spend 200 days locked in a room with my best friend. I'm super ecstatic." My gaze fell upon Ross frowning at me.
"UGH, why're you so boring now? All you ever do is sit alone in a dark corner and cry!" Ross wailed, followed by his famous moan that I'm all to use to hearing. "Seriously, you used to beat up everybody! You were soooo cool! I remember you dying your hair, applying scary eyeshadow, wearing black and dark colors, colored contacts." I hid myself in a face palm as Ross continued on with the list. "You pierced one of your ears too. Not to mention that stupid choker-collar-necklace-thing." Ross suddenly seemed still, but after a small silence, quickly burst into laughter. Another, annoyingly perky, side effect of being Ross Wretchedson.
"So piercings and dyed hair Ryuu, was your childhood really that horrible?" I suddenly realized why Ross was laughing so hard. Hastily, I twisted around to see a teasing face. My cheeks reddened with embarrassment and maybe a little bit of something else. Ali Aquatica--an angel with a bite--stood behind me with her hand on her hip. She chuckled and sat down on the other, Ross-free bed. "Well I'm settled in so I guess I'll just hang out around here with you guys." Ali pulled out her iPod and lie down listening to music. The room was plunged into silence as everyone did their own thing, yet as I unpack my bags, I can't help thinking about the new kid. He's already rubbing me the wrong way.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was written in play script form so it would say, for example:
Harry: I miss Hogwarts.
Ron: I do too.
This was tricky to read because I never knew at the beginning of a sentence if it was the person who was saying the sentence or if it was just the person who was being talked to in the sentence. Instead of chapters, each section was labeled as an act and scene. I did not realize it was written in this format so it was a surprise to me.
The story tells of Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione 19 years after the battle of Hogwarts. They're all still friends and their children are friends too. The story follows mainly the characters' travels and adventures at and around Hogwarts. Another one of the characters in the story is Professor McGonagall. She is a Headmistress of Hogwarts!
You'll never believe where Hermione and Harry ended up. I really like how they made mistakes and then they had to go face the consequences of those mistakes. James, Albus and Lily all make an appearance in this book.
I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. I give it 7 out of 10 Time Turners. Sit back with a cup of butter beer and enjoy this new Tale in the Harry Potter story.
We are the Ants is the first book I've read by Shaun David Hutchinson and it did not disappoint. Henry has a lot going on in his life: his mom is struggling, his grandmother is sick, his brother got his girlfriend pregnant, his boyfriend committed suicide and he was abducted by aliens. Could it get much worse for Henry? Short answer, yes. Long answer, no. He has been informed by the aliens that the world is coming to an end, but he has the option to stop it from happening. Henry is seriously debating whether or not to prevent the end of all mankind or to just to let it all end. You'll have to read the book yourself to find out what decision Henry made. You can expect a dark read with moments of humor and over the top situations. But somehow it all was down to earth. I rate the book 5/5. Read it.
Book Basics: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Favorite Quote: "...it matters not who you love, but only the quality of such a love… a flower is no less beautiful because it does not bloom in the expected form. Because it lasts an hour and not days."
It's been a long time since I've read an adventure novel. And Passenger is just that- a good, wholesome adventure story, with a healthy helping of romance and history on the side. Passenger follows the story of 17-year-old Etta Spencer, a violin prodigy whose only concern is her upcoming debut and what to do with her future. But then a mysterious sound leads her to a passage that takes her to a ship headed towards 1776 New York City. There, Etta is thrown into a family of time travelers, ruled by a power-hungry old man named Cyrus Ironwood and discovers that she too possess the ability to time travel. Ironwood blackmails Etta into finding a special device called an astrolabe, which Etta must find using clues her mother left her and the help of Nicholas Carter, an 18th century privateer.
It took a couple chapters for the book to get going, but once Etta woke up on the ship the plot picked up quickly. The pacing was a little off throughout the entire book, but it wasn't a major problem. There were some parts that I had to power through because I knew that the story would get better. Other than the pacing, the plot was nicely developed, with a good balance between romance and adventure. (If you don't like romance interfering with your adventure then this book isn't for you. The romance wasn't overpowering, but it did take up a fair chunk of the story.)
Nicholas and Etta's romance was very nicely written and I really liked the added complexity of race as an issue within their relationship (Nicholas is black, and Etta is white). It's obviously a major issue during Nicholas's time, but Etta does acknowledge that while people would be much more accepting of an interracial relationship in our time, the present day is still far from free of racism. Sexism was also an issue dealt with in the novel, but wasn't as heavy as racism. I loved how these issues were repeated and dealt with across the various time periods that Nicholas and Etta traveled to.
The character development was great and Etta was absolutely perfect as an independent, badass heroine.
Aside from some minor issues, I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, adventurous story with complex characters and relationships. And after the ending (spoiler alert: it's a major cliffhanger) I'm definitely going to read the next book. Anyone who's a fan of adventure, historical fiction, or both will enjoy this story.

Curley's Wife and Mayella Ewell from the books Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird may seem like different characters at first, but share more commonalities than meets the eye. While one speaks at the trial of a black man and the other dies at the hands of a mentally handicapped man, these characters play essential roles in bringing about the authors' purposes in addressing social standpoints. Both young ladies portray the objectifying and stereotyping of women through their physical appearances, isolation, and interactions with other characters.
Curley's Wife plays the role of a woman who focuses almost entirely on her physical appearance, how unfair it is that she must remain cooped up all day, and how everybody simply views her as a tart. First off, the appearance of this character displays her as very child-like, as shown with "She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers" (Steinbeck, pg 31). Wearing excessive amounts of makeup certainly reminds the reader of how little girls often play with their mother's makeup, covering themselves with it. As well as this, the clothing choices of Curley's Wife also reflect her child-like qualities, making her appear to be much like a child's doll toy. Her curled sausages of hair also seem reminiscent of the locks of an innocent little girl. Moving on to the position of isolation that Curley's Wife finds herself in, "'I get lonely,' she said. 'You can talk to people, but I can't talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad. How'd you like not to talk to anybody?'" (Steinbeck, pg 87) paints a scene of Curley's Wife showing some emotion to another character, Lennie. Due to being a married woman, Curley's Wife, as per the standards of society, has limitations on what she can do with her time. Speaking with men other than her husband certainly does not abide with the rules laid out for her to follow. However, as she said, loneliness often overtakes Curley's Wife, which explains her reasoning for visiting the bunkhouses to speak with other men. The basis of this dilemma can simply be accounted for by the isolation of becoming the wife of a working man. As such, Curley's Wife can no longer have a good time with her life without being looked down upon. Lastly, discrimination of gender and self presentation also plays a role when "But Candy said excitedly, 'We oughtta let 'im get away. You don't know that Curley. Curley gon'ta wanta get 'im lynched. Curley'll get 'im killed.'" (Steinbeck, pg 94) takes place after Lennie accidentally ends the life of Curley's Wife. Thanks to her flirtatious ways, Curley's Wife became known as a tart. Needless to say, her value didn't match that of any of the other characters. However, Lennie's murder of her brings up the idea that, even though she had the flirty qualities of a tart and nobody liked her much, the blame for her murder still landed on Lennie. This incident shows that her position as the wife of Curley accounted for Lennie's conviction of her murder. Henceforth, despite being a woman and a tart, Curley's Wife stands superior to Lennie, entirely thanks to her position as the wife of Curley. A child-like appearance, the quality of being isolated, and only an aspect of marriage account for the entirety of Curley's Wife, yet this character still brings forth social issues of discrimination from gender and behavior.
Mayella Ewell of To Kill a Mockingbird plays a very similar role to Curley's Wife in terms of objectifying women, such as having certain physical characteristics that change the way other view her, being isolated from the rest of society, and interacting with other characters in ways that determine how she appears to other members of the story. Starting off with physical appearance, "Mayella stared at him and burst into tears. She covered her mouth with her hands and sobbed," (Lee, pg 205) shows Mayella as child-like and weak. Although it would be natural to be anxious or nervous when on stand, the act of out-right crying makes Mayella appear to be a weak child. Much like Curley's Wife, Mayella portrays herself as sensitive or weak, making her seem much like a young child with emotional qualities. Moving on to Mayella's own personal form of social isolation, "Mayella looked as if she tried to keep clean, and I was reminded of the row of red geraniums in the Ewell yard," (Lee, pg 204) refers to how Mayella tries to grow geraniums in order to seem more cleanly than her family. Throughout this novel, the fact that the Ewell family represents social outcasts sings out loud and clear. However, since Scout states that Mayella attempted to make herself look good, it can be inferred that although she may be isolated from the rest of society due to family and economic status, Mayella Ewell still tries very hard to fit in. Geraniums, a pretty red flower that grow fairly easily, fit in well with the same red tone of the lips and shoes of Curley's Wife. Bringing up the ideas of social discrimination, "'Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty…'" (Lee, pg 241) refers to how Tom Robinson, a black man, "lost" in his trial. Despite being a dirty, child-like, and generally disliked social outcast, Mayella Ewell's value outweighed that of Tom for the sole reasoning of her being white and him being black. This incident goes to show that, at the root of it all, Harper Lee managed to cram it into her masterpiece that racial discrimination will always outweigh social segregation. Much like how John Steinbeck imposed that Curley's Wife's position as the wife of the boss's son held her above Lennie. A run-down, unliked white woman who behaves more like a child than not, Mayella Ewell certainly brings out the segregation and discrimination found within society.
Both of these ladies come from the masterpieces of John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men and Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird. Although these characters may have some subtle differences, it cannot be denied that each show their child-like habits and isolation from the rest of their community, yet play vital roles in laying out social implications of female objectifying and the stereotyping of women.
Real talk: it's Valentine's Day, and I still like books more than people. I have unrealistically high expectations because I've read so many romance novels. I'm waiting for my Park Sheridan, Augustus Waters, Étienne St. Clair… *sighs* Anyway, in honor of Single Awareness Day (a.k.a. Valentine's Day), I've compiled a list of my favorite romance novels. Don't forget to check out my blog for more YA book reviews and recommendations and follow me on Instagram for updates every time I post!
My Favorite YA Romance Novels (In No Particular Order):
1. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
2. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
3. Anna and the French Kiss (series) by Stephanie Perkins
4. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
5. My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
6. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
7. The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough
8. The Selection (series) by Kierra Cass
9. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
10. Delirium (trilogy) by Lauren Oliver
Book Basics: The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough
Published: April 2015, Arthur A. Levine Books
Genre: YA, romance, historical fiction
Page Count: 336 (hardcover)
Recommended For/If You Liked: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern or The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
This review is basically going to be me freaking out about how much I loved this book. You've been warned.
Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra… the fate of any pair of star-crossed lovers you can think of throughout history has been influenced by Love and Death as they play their Game, one that inevitably ends with Death taking both players. Now, in 1927 Seattle, the players are Henry, a white orphan with a talent for music and Flora, a black orphan, talented jazz singer, and pilot. Can Henry and Flora beat the odds and let Love claim a victory, or will Death win, as per usual? Only the strength of their love will determine the winner.
I loved how Martha Brockenbrough wrote the characters of Love and Death. There was this excellent mix of human emotions that they showed and their seemingly divine interventions in the Game that made them not quite human, but not quite gods either. (This element is what makes the book similar to The Book Thief or The Night Circus, but though the idea wasn't original, the author took the idea in an entirely new direction). Also, Love was written as male and Death as female, so their characters destroyed gender stereotypes, which made them even more awesome. The other characters were also stunningly written, but I enjoyed the development of Love and Death the most.
The book's setting (rainy Seattle, 1927) contributed beautifully to the plot and mood as the characters struggled with issues of racism, sexism, homophobia, and poverty. These external struggles further complicated the characters' internal struggles of love and loyalty and staying true to oneself. Martha Brockenbrough did a fantastic job writing these tough issues in a way that made the reader thoughtful and reflective. The writing in the book was very good and it flowed nicely and was very suspenseful: I read the book in one weekend and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days on end. There were, however, some scenes that felt unnecessary and the romance wasn't written quite as well as it could have been- I didn't love Henry and Flora's romance as much as I wanted to. (Honestly, I enjoyed the romance between two of the supporting characters ((no spoilers!)) more than that of Henry and Flora.)
In the end, this was a fantastic book- one that I would definitely reread and am absolutely going to buy at my next trip to the bookstore. Despite a few minor complaints, this book was heart-achingly written and I would absolutely recommend it.

Chris Crutcher's Staying Fat for Sarah Bynes was dedicated to "All those who finally stand up for themselves," and is an incredible story of pain, fear, trying to do your best, and friendship.
Eric "Moby" Calhoune and Sarah Byrnes have been friends for a long time, and are bonded by their deformities: Sarah has horrible burn scars over her face, neck, arms, and hands from a childhood incident involving boiling water, and Moby is incredibly overweight. They are inseparable as friends, so when Moby joins the school's swim team and begins to shed some pounds, he frantically tries to eat more to maintain the friendship he treasures and Sarah's respect. However, as soon as Sarah gets wind of this, she demands he stop.
When Sarah is hospitalized and stops speaking entirely, Moby stays by her side to help her recover and get back on her feet. When she reveals to him the horrible secrets of her past, he sticks with her. With the aide of his swim coach, he even manages to get her back to a safe place.
This book is extremely suspenseful, and encompasses fierce religious debates, attempted suicide, buried secrets, shady characters, intense dialogue, and knife wounds. Though the language gets a bit confusing at times, this novel is a must read. Not only a touching story of friendship, it also addresses a lot of issues that teens wrestle with today, about their beliefs and trying to do what is right, when you don't know what that looks like. This book really makes you look at what you believe, what kind of person you are, and what you would do stuck in the character's shoes. Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes should definitely be added to your reading list!
Genre: Sci-Fi
Would I Recommend: Yes
Series Number: 3 books
A book whose post-apocalypse plot is not only detailed and descriptive, but a distinct twist on the end of the world as we know it, Partials, by Dan Wells, gives a hectic glimpse into our future. Well written with a unique plot, though slow and dry in portions, this novel passes the time and offers an alternate reality whose characteristics are not far from improbable. If patient, reading the novel pays off with unseen changes and an ending that leaves you asking unanswered questions and running to the sequel.
If your into an action-packed sci-fi novel with a hint of romance and mystery, try Partials.
Check out the Partials Series.

Opinion: Why thalidomide apology is not enough
So, after a mere half-century, German pharmaceutical firm Gruenenthal has decided to apologize for the devastating effects its drug, thalidomide, had on thousands of babies and their families around the world, myself included. Is this a reason to celebrate? Is it even a reason for cautious optimism, or is it simply a piece of news management designed to salvage what is left of its corporate reputation?

text: This could lead into some political disagreements, but I felt it would be nice to shake things up a bit since the issue with taxes is a sticky one when it comes to Christian practice. I do think it's a pretty important issue. The scriptures are clear about "rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's" (Matthew 22:21), but what about those who tax? What are your thoughts on Luke 3:12-13? Because the collectors often took more than they were authorized, could this be 1) regarding obeying authority and 2) respecting the fruits of one's labor? What about those in the highest places of authority? When they tax, are they violating Exodus 20:15? Do you believe taxation supports the meaning of Proverbs 19:17 (or maybe more appropriately, 2 Corinthians 9:7) or does it undermine it? Where does charity end and taxation begin? I suppose we could get into the Denarius (the coin with Caesar's portrait), whether fiat money is evil or not, etc. etc., but that might be getting into way too much all at once. Happy discussing PS, I found THIS ARTICLE <--- from Lew Rockwell to be very fascinating.

A Shot of Coffee
I haven't been spacing out my music-making enough lately.
This week, I practiced using suspended chords (Thanks to this video by Michael Putluk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n5HSERGvAQ).
Will try to utilize this more over the weeks and make it ingrained.
As I mentioned, a few weeks ago I managed to acquire more gear, which meant that I needed more gear to support my gear (funny how that works). I've been spending a lot of time trying to incorporate new stuff in to the music as well as just getting used to changes in workflow.
Wednesday, Aug 10. 20:55 - 22:10. I got a new audio interface, so this might change my workflow a bit. As a result, I think I'm going to just kind of wing the song and see how the new workflow goes.
Thursday, Aug 11. 20:40 - 21:00. Fixing some of my synth sounds, but I still don't really know what I want this song to be. I'm thinking something intense and bass heavy here.
Saturday, Aug 13. 17:20 - 17:50.
Sunday, Aug 14, 10:30 - 12:30. I'm really behind this week. I haven't had a chance to really lay out a track and it's the end of the week. I watched a video recently on suspended chords so now I want to play with them. I didn't have much of a song before this so starting sections over may not be the worst thing.
13:40 - 15:20. Finish. DIdn't feel like doing a second verse since I'm low on time.
Total time: 5h 40m, most of the time was spent on it today.

Sandro Cleuzo is an animator from Brazil who has worked on many major animated features. This is his first children's picture book, set in the Brazilian jungle and featuring the indigenous people and animals.
"Some people are asking me how I drew and painted my new book. I like to do it mostly traditional, with markers, pencil and pen and then I scan and do some finishing touches in Photoshop. But the drawings and most of the color are traditional."
Here is Sandro's autobiographical sketch:
I started working in animation at the age 15 as an inbetweener. I learned on the job, working on TV commercials from 1985 to 1990. In the summer of 1990 I went to Ireland and applied to work at the Don Bluth's studio and was hired as an Animator. I worked there for four years until Don Bluth and the crew relocated to Phoenix, Arizona to start Fox Animation Studios. I re-joined them there and worked on "Anastasia" for two years. After that I applied to Disney Feature Animation in Burbank and was hired to work on "Fantasia 2000", animating the "Sprite" running away from the "Firebird". After that I worked as a Lead Animator on "The Emperor's New Groove", helped a little on "Tarzan" and became a Supervising Animator on "Home on the Range". During the production of Home on the Range I moved to Disney Florida to work on the, now shelved, production of "My People's". I moved back to Brazil and spent the next four years working as a freelancer Animator on projects such as Disney's "Enchanted", "Axterix and the Vikings", "Proud Family" and "Curious George". In 2008 I was hired to work on The Secret of the Furious Five and as an Animator on Disney's "The Princess and the Frog".

Innovative research is pursued by the Human Ecology Department's textile science and apparel design faculty to enhance human comfort and protection through clothing and textile solutions for items ranging from protective gear, uniforms, and sportswear to clothing for disabled persons. This research reflects the critical function textiles and apparel have as our nearest physical environment. Researchers in the department have distinguished themselves in the fields of fiber science with a focus on areas such as material response under various thermal hazards, combustion of textile materials, odour transfer, standards development and functional apparel design.
Research Area: Textile Science and Textile Archaeology
Dr. Dolez's research focuses on nanotechnologies as applied to textiles, and includes testing of smart textiles, natural fibres, and recycled materials in occupational safety and health and personal protective equipment contexts.
Rachel McQueen's primary research focus relates to the development and retention of odour in textiles. This involves the development of methods to examine the growth of skin microflora within textiles, interaction of odorous molecules with textile fibres and sensory detection of body odour emanating from fabrics
Prof. Torvi and his students conduct numerical and experimental research aimed at improving the knowledge of heat transfer in materials under high heat flux conditions. His research has been funded by NSERC, CFI and the Canadian Space Agency.

It is now clear that Wall Street's failures have spread throughout the American economy. Our country is now faced with the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Years of Republican mismanagement and deregulation have eroded our economic strength and imperiled our national security. When President Clinton left office, America was on track to post record surpluses and had begun paying down the national debt. The Bush administration, and its Republican enablers in Congress, destroyed that opportunity. Instead, they spent billions waging a misguided war in Iraq, allowed Wall Street to gamble with the money of hard-working Americans, continued to send billions to the Middle East for oil instead of investing in American renewable energy, and allowed millions of jobs to move overseas.
The time has come to reverse this damage. With a Democratic White House and a strong Democratic Congress, we can begin the process of rebuilding our nation's prosperity. On the path to economic security and growth, we must take the following steps:
* Reinforce our failing financial and credit markets;
* Provide sensible relief to struggling homeowners;
* Protect the hard-earned retirement savings and benefits of senior citizens;
* Cut taxes for middle-class Americans;
* Invest in our nation's infrastructure;
* Introduce sensible regulations and safeguards into our financial sector;
* Help companies keep jobs in America with directed incentives and tax breaks; and
* Spur renewable energy development and green-collar jobs with tax incentives.
We have a hard road ahead of us, but, together, we can prevail. With hard
work and determination, we can return to the prosperity of the Clinton era, build a strong and stable economy, pay down our debt, and invest in our children's future.

Glenn was unbeaten at Sunderland last season — forcing a 2-2 draw with Southampton before masterminding an amazing 3-2 win after we trailed 2-0 at half-time in April.
He looks back fondly on that result, recalling: "We were 2-0 down at half-time, it was early doors in my time here and it was difficult to get stuck into players when you're not really sure of their character and how they would react.
"But it was a case of that being the right thing on the day and I blew my top at half-time, really got into them.
"It shook them up a bit but we said we needed to show character and we didn't want to come in at the end three or four down. We wanted to turn it around and they did it.
"Sunderland are not having the best of times, they are not in great form but they are hard side to beat at home.
"We did it last season and, in fact, I went there twice last season and got a 2-2 draw with Southampton when we should have won.
"Away from home we have to get it right tactically and get a good performance. The boys are up for it."
Glenn insisted the players had been 'bright' in training on Monday and Tuesday despite the disappointment of Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Chelsea.
It was suggested he must have been wondering 'why us' after a key decision went against us again.
He said: "You scratch your head but there is a time to scratch your head and that was into the early hours of Monday morning watching the tape at home.
"In the end you come back in and the boys were bright.
"I said to the lads that there is nothing wrong with the way we're performing. Things are going against us a little, decisions, but they will come back our way over the course of the season.
"There is a lot of belief here. We've only really let ourselves down once this season, away at Blackburn and we've learnt from that.
"The way we're playing has been good and there is more to come on that.
"But where I thought if I had my squad and two or three injuries at most, the system we worked in pre-season could have flourished more.
"We haven't had the chance to do that. We've had to change our shape on occasions and it's making it difficult."
Spurs are 33/1 to repeat last season's 3-2 victory - click for details.

SD: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
EJ: I knew I wanted to be a writer as a teenager in high school but was fearful of rejection. I reasoned with myself that I probably wasn't supposed to be a writer. I let that fear hold me back for years. I missed all the signs though. I never get rid of books. I usually have more books than space to put them. I love to read, for hours at a time. I loved to talk about books and I'd be so excited about it. One day, I started writing down the same stories I would have verbally shared with friends and they thought it was funny, intriguing, and that it showed skill. A little encouragement goes a long way. It gave me the confidence to try.
SD: Is writing a hobby or your life's work?
EJ: I don't know that I would say it's a hobby. More so I would say it's an aspiration.
SD: How did you come up with the concept for Better Than 8?
EJ: I've dated online and have had profiles on various dating sites but I had a friend refer me to a dating site called http://7orbetter.com. A site like betterthan8.com exists. I thought it would be fun to explore dating "large" men and fictional stories from a woman's perspective.
SD: Who's your favorite author? Why?
EJ: Favorite. Wow. I've got more than one. I love Kallysten. She's an indie author who tells great stories about relationships. I find bits of myself in her characters. I love Shiloh Walker because her characters are pretty kick ass and the women aren't wall flowers. I love that about her characters. Oohh and the men she writes about... Malachi...if you weren't already taken.. I love Patricia Cornwell. She's a writer from my hometown of Richmond, Virginia and a lot of her early stories featured areas around the city. That was fun to ride by a place she had described in detail. Her murder mysteries are always cleverly cloaked and leave you in complete suspense.
SD: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
EJ: In 10 years, I hope to have quite a catalog of work from erotic romance to paranormal romance, romantic suspense, and maybe if I'm lucky, a fan base that appreciate different genre's from one author.
Thank you so much for stopping by Erin, it's so inspiring to meet people who are actually making their dreams come true!
Amara Simmons has always fantasized about having two lovers but believes it is just that: a fantasy. She likes her men "gifted", if you know what I mean. At the suggestion of a friend she registers for an online dating website for well-endowed men called betterthan8.com. She believes nothing will come of her site membership but after months of flirting online via email and instant messaging, she's shocked to discover that she's fallen for a gorgeous Latin man that has the potential to be her everything – except he never calls and she has no idea why. Nursing a broken heart she is totally unprepared to meet her would-be Latin lover in person much less at the negotiation table of a multi million-dollar real estate deal. In Puerto Rico, passion ignites. Promises are finally fulfilled and the lines of reality blur when her fantasy finally blooms to life. Can Amara have it all: the deal, the man, and the fantasy?
Amara Simmons has been single for four years. After the guy she thought was her "man" married another woman, she was less than enthusiastic about returning to the dating scene. When one of her friends suggests that she check out www.betterthan8.com a dating website for men with "generous" packages, she takes a curious look. What she finds is more than she could have ever imagined.
Better than 8 is a great read! A very tastefully written erotic romance novel. Amara Simmons, like many women, craves connection and satisfaction. I liked the fact that she didn't rebound right away after her heartbreak, even more than that she remained friends with her ex (which can be difficult for most, especially under these circumstances). I was completely shocked by the outcome of the story, to be honest I was annoyed at first and had to stop reading for a spell. Then I realized that I was projecting, see Amara did not do what I would have done, but this wasn't about me...remember? LOL Now that I've had a chance to digest, I can see the true dynamics of Amara's character. She is a take charge woman, who thinks completely out-of-the-box; which is precisely what made her character likable.
Erin Jamison is a great writer; the fact that I had to ponder the book after finishing it, is proof of that! I can't wait to read more of the Better than 8 series. I'm sure there is more to come...much, much more.
I give this book:
You can purchase the Better Than 8 as an eBook at: All Romance, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon for $0.99.
I received these ebook free from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Honest Tea puts a healthy twist on an old Favorite: Half & Half
Bethesda, MD (March 4, 2010) – Honest Tea, maker of the nation's top-selling organic bottled tea launches its latest variety, Half & Half, blending two of America's favorite summer beverages, tea and lemonade.
Offering a healthier approach to the iconic Half & Half, Honest Tea uses USDA certified organic black tea from India and blends it with lightly sweetened lemonade for a perfect balance between sweet and tart. The new variety brings the antioxidant benefits of black tea, combined with organic lemonade and just a touch of organic cane sugar, creating a refreshingly smooth finish, reminiscent of summer and available year round. The drink has 12g of sugar and 48 calories per 8-oz serving.
"We've been working a long time to find the right balance between tea and juice, and based on the strong response to our new Half & Half, I think we've honestly found it," said Seth Goldman, president and TeaEO of Honest Tea.
Half & Half is the latest edition of Fair Trade Certified(TM) beverages to join Honest Tea's PET line of innovative teas and thirst quenchers. The Half & Half variety will be available across the country, including all CVS stores March 2010 for a suggested retail price of $1.49 – $1.79.
About Honest Tea

Microformats: embedding information in webpages the right way
Armijn Hemel,
April 14, 2009,
6138 views.
Tags: browser, Firefox, internet, microformats, semantic web, webdesign, webdevelopment
Markup and content on webpages are often not very well separated resulting in that the same type of information, like address information, is represented in a lot of different ways on different sites. This is annoying, because you need to look in different places every time for the same type of information and it is never where you expect it to be.
With minimal effort you can make this information available to people who want quick access to the information, without having to make dramatic changes to your website. The solution is called 'microformats'.
Microformats are implemented using a minimal extension to HTML, with which you can indicate that information in some HTML tags should be treated in a special way. These specially marked tags can be recognized easily by the browser, or a search engine, who can treat the information in the tag in whatever way they like. For example, a browser can be instructed to export contact information to a vCard, to use geo information to lookup locations on Google Maps or Yahoo! Maps, and so on. Search engines can better extract information from your page and improve search results (at least, that is what you want).
Various microformats have been invented. Support for these microformats varies per browser and search engine. All microformats in this article can be viewed with the Operator extension for Firefox.
Microformats are used in more and more sites, like Wikipedia (contacts and geo information), LinkedIn (contacts) and Yahoo! (reviews).
Contact information
On a company's webpage you can often find various e-mail addresses, phone numbers and addresses of people and departments. You could of course manually copy and paste these contacts into the contact list of your PIM program (like Evolution), but this is often quite a bit of work.
It is even unnecessary, if the website would use the hCard microformat, because the information would be already in a ready to use format on the page:

Example Inc.

Tel: 555-5555555

e-mail:  firstname.lastname@example.com

The Operator extension would recognize this information and turn it into vCards (hCard was heavily influenced by vCard). Most PIM programs can read vCard files.
Geo information
Websites such as Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps are very popular. It is incredibly easy to use and navigate maps and to look up geographical coordinates. These coordinates can be caught in a microformat too. Flickr (owned by Yahoo!) allows geotagging of photographs. Microformats are used for this. The Operator extension can perform lookups on Google Maps or Yahoo! Maps using coordinates extracted from a page that uses microformats.
A geocode consists of two components: longitute ("lon") and latitude ("lat"). In the geo microformat these can be represented in various ways. One common format is to concatenate the coordinates:
Als ik bovenop sta
or to seperate specify lat and lon:

 52.090529 5.121134

Browser support
Support in Firefox is pretty good if you install the Operator extension. It was originally planned for Firefox 3 to have integrated microformats, but there was no agreement on how they should be presented to the end user, so it was decided that if you want to use microformats in Firefox 3 a seperate extension, like Operator, would be the best choice. At Mix'06 Bill Gates said that Internet Explorer 8 would support microformats.
More information
Two recommended resources are the Microformats website and the book Microformats - empowering your markup for Web 2.0.

All the best: Actor Marty Maguire's favourite things
The 50-year-old actor will be appearing in Crazy at the Mac in Belfast from May 26. He lives in Belfast with his partner Jo Donnelly and has two sons - Dylan (22) and Brandon (18).
My best moment
That was when my kids were born. I lived out in Los Angeles for 20 years and the boys still live out there. They were the best thing that ever happened to me.
My best song
It's the Tennessee Waltz, which I sing in the show. There's no particular reason, it's just a song I like. The version by Tom Jones is the best.
My best way to relax
Sitting in front of the telly watching trashy TV with my partner Jo. We like American shows like NCIS.
My best job
Other than being an actor, I've had a few jobs. I used to work in Topman on Donegall Place before it closed but my best job was in a bar in Los Angeles. I worked there for about 20 years on and off. I went back and forth in between acting jobs and the kids. It was called Ireland's 32 and they gave me the freedom to come and go and do plays and auditions as I wished. It's a great bar and it's still there.
My best bit of advice
That was from my mum. She said to me: "You've got two ears but only one mouth. No-one learned anything from talking all the time. Learn to listen." That's one that has stayed with me.
My best gift
When I was 16, my grandmother gave me a Claddagh ring — I still wear it today and I've managed to wear it in lots of films and programmes. When my two sons turned 16, I made sure that they got one as well. It's become a wee family link for us. Now every time I look at the ring on my hand, I know that even though they're 6,000 miles away, the boys are wearing the same one.
My best achievement
To still be doing this — acting — after more than 30 years. I still love what I do and if I won the lottery and didn't have to work I would still want to do this.
My best buy
Driving lessons back when I lived in America. It gave me a whole new lease of life because in Los Angeles you really need to be able to drive. I used to drive 50 miles to work each night and 50 miles home again so learning to drive was really worth it.
My best book
I'm not a big reader at all and the best things I read are my play scripts. My best book though is called A Man Walks Into A Bar (right) — it's a book with 6,000 jokes in it and it makes me laugh.
My best film
My favourite film of all time is The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. I was lucky enough to work with one of the last surviving actors who was in the film. His name was Sean McClory and he was with the Abbey Theatre in Dublin but he went over to the States in 1947 and ended up in The Quiet Man. We were in a radio drama together before he died and he had some amazing stories to tell me.
- Crazy will be on stage at the Mac in Belfast until June 14. For tickets and information go to www.themaclive.co.uk

S400-30 with black tip.
A handy person from USA says:
April 12, 2016
I am trying to replace my S400-30 in balance with a black tip but I see only green and red tips on your website. Can you get a black tip?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
April 13, 2016
Are you sure you have the S400-30? This balance's outer tube has a diameter of 3/8", which is a size that does not use Black Tips. I would double check the diameter of your outer tube just to be sure.

Sounds like a two part question. My response for part one: I think most religions try to help people cope and deal with fear. Some religions also seem to instill fear when they talk about our character defects and concept of "sin". In my Hub about Miracles, I talk about how we can overcome pain, suffering, trauma, and other adversity by embracing the power of the positive over all that is negative.
Part two: Some religious people are closed minded. They believe their religious path is the only "way". Others are more open-minded. I believe we can find our own spiritual connection and that there are many pathways to choose for healing, recovery, and transformation.
Peace and Light: Gary.

I know I will not win friends by telling it like it is but I for one will tell the truth. I was the religious before I discovered the law of grace by the blood sacrifice of Jesus the Christ. Now my life and my thinking are different, but the best part is I didn't bring about this change. I tried to live by the law and couldn't and this led to guilt and more frustration and more religious thinking. But when I Discovered Jesus he changed my thinking and my life and I discovered that I had suddenly gained love for those around me. So my answer to the question is this;
Because the religious know they are wrong and they are accountable to the law. Those who chose love do so because they know the grace of God contrary to religion, (and/or those who have no law because their know their own intent is wrong). World peace is not possible until the global individual gains peace on an inner level and this is not possible as long as the global people are accountable to the law. Thus Jesus is the only way to bring true world peace. I'll bet the religious have a lot to say about this, especially the dogmatic evolutionist and artiest! lol I chose to attach a picture that shows the dark mysterious side of a most beautiful sunrise. I took this at skagway lake Colorado on the day my son was murdered 8/17/2011. My testimony to him and his life is this; I forgave the one who did it and this is what my son would want because my son knew love.

Your question paints religious people with a very broad brush. Religious people are not all the same any more than other groups of people. Isn't this the kind of bias we fight against in the modern world--lumping all people of one belief, color, religion, political party etc. as being of one mind and sharing all characteristics?
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Fear makes us stay away from certain things or activities because we suspect they may harm us while religion makes us abstain from certain things or activities because we know they may not be conducive for us to indulge in them, well they may harm us. Both have the same effect but the cause to reach the effect is diagonally opposite. Fear breeds negativity while religion intends to make us positive. I might want to steal some precious object. But I would rather not do it out of fear of being caught by others and thay might punish me or I may not get caught by other people but God is watching and He will punish me. Both fear and religion are deterrents.
Religious people prefer discipline over love. I think discipline is the very purpose of religion. The manifestation of one's religiousness in activities of religion requires a certain discipline. Discipline is something we choose for our own growth and elevation while love gives us a feeling of contentment. In my opinion only the strong want to be disciplined, love we all want. We choose to be religious, discipline comes automatically.

mikeb72, I'm truly sorry to hear such tragic new about your son and I send peace to you and your family. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question with a heavy heart! I believe as you do that the law is more attractive to a man's ego than his hear. Love requires us to see others as we would consider ourselves in the circumstances were the same in the same frame of mind where grace becomes applicable! Discipline requires fear not love or desire that is the power of love unlike fear which is an undoing or lacking substance! Religion demand discipline or else but if a relationship is built on such a condition of fear then fear is required to remain to solidify the relationship, that is why discipline is limited but love is sustainable! Thank you mikeb72!
Okay duffsmom, why do some choose discipline over love?

Are you better off...

One of the big questions of this political season has been, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" It's not a bad question to ask, even when it has nothing to do with politics. Each of us should periodically take stalk of where we are now versus some point in the past and ask, "Am I (or are we) better off?"
Conducting such an exercise for your plant, for example, could be a quick way to get a grasp on how much progress you're making. You don't need to compile a bunch of data, or anything like that. Although, you may need to consult a few numbers you're not certain about. Most of the questions you might ask yourself can probably be answered with a simple yes or no.
Of course, you could ask dozens, even hundreds, of questions depending on how far you want to go with this premise. Here are some key ones I would ask:
Is our plant safer than it was X years ago?
Have we reduced our emissions?
Have we reduced waste materials?
Have we increased recycling?
Is our emergency preparedness better?
Have we reduced energy consumption?
Are our workers better trained and more skilled?
Is our uptime up or our downtime down?
Have we reduced emergency work?
Are we better at planning and scheduling?
Is our plant generally in better condition?
Has our schedule compliance improved?
Have we increased inventory turns on our MRO stores?
Have supplier relations been improved?
Are we doing more predictive maintenance?
Have we improved our customer satisfaction?
Do we complete capital projects on time and within budget?
Can we show how we have contributed to overall plant productivity?
Can we document savings that resulted directly from plant engineering/maintenance projects?
Is all of our regulation and code compliance thorough and up to date?
Have we earned any certifications, awards, or honors?
In general, is our plant running more efficiently and effectively?
If you can answer most of these questions with a yes, then you are probably better off than you were X years ago. If you answered all of them with a yes, you should get a nice raise or a big bonus! Be sure your management is aware of the progress you've made.
On the other hand, if it doesn't look like you've made much progress, now would be a good time to ask yourself why. Was it totally due to business conditions? Do you have some personnel issues? Have you been so bogged down in details that you've lost track of some of the larger issues? Are you burned out?
Whatever the case, an occasional look back with the question, "Am I better off now than I was?" is a worthwhile exercise.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Xavier College was named after St Francis Xavier, one of the closest friends of St Ignatius of Loyola. Together with five other companions, they founded the Jesuit order in 1540. Jesuit principles of education emphasise the centrality of the Catholic faith, pursuit of excellence, development of the whole person, care of each individual (Cura Personalis), and service to others. These principles define all aspects of life at Xavier. We are part of a world-wide network of Jesuit schools that collectively educate nearly two million students.
We understand the crucial importance of laying the foundation for the future of your son and daughter. From skills, passion and work ethic to self-image and place in the community, the journey begins here.
At Xavier we educate students from Early Years (3 year olds) to VCE.
We have three campuses: Kostka Hall, Brighton (3 year olds to Year 8, co-education to Year 4); Burke Hall, Kew (3 year olds to Year 8, co-education to Year 4) and the Senior Campus, Kew (Year 9 to 12, all boys including boarding).
We aim to develop students who will become men and women of conscience, competence and compassion, who are able to bring about a more peaceful and just society by example and deeds.
Beyond mere bricks and mortar, the facilities at Xavier support both the guidance and nurturing of our girls and boys with, as a priority, an active, safe and secure learning environment.
Recognising the time demands placed upon parents, and in keeping with our commitment to all aspects of a child's welfare, we offer an out-of-school-hours care program at both Burke Hall and Kostka Hall for Early Years students.

A very classy bus to Cedeira!
Cedeira Travel Blog› entry 3 of 27 › view all entries
We caught the first metro into the city. We had to switch lines only once to get to the station where the bus departs. We took up a big chunk of space on the metro with all our bags and at one point this lady who worked there yelled at us in Spanish. It was pretty funny but Alex and Lauro got scared for some reason?? lol. We arrived to the station and headed to the Asla ticket booth to buy our tickets. The tickets were €57 each on the Supra class. At the time we didn't know this would be an amazing bus. We could have taken a later bus that was cheaper but then we wouldn't have arrived into Cederia until later at night. We had a little confusion as to which platform the bus was actually leaving from (there were 60!) but eventually we found it and we got our bags on the bus just about 5 minutes before we were to depart.
Now this bus...holy cow!! The BEST bus EVER!! The seats were MASSIVE and leaned back with tons of leg room. And there were a whole bunch of tv's scattered around so you don't have to look all the way to the front for the tiny little one. There was also a "host" on the bus and she came around and brought us sandwhiches, coke, juice, and snacks. Turns out you could have as much as you wanted to as well cause I kept on seeing other people asking for more and she would bring it. They played 3 movies in Spanish so we couldn't really watch them but there was radio you could listen to and I slept lots and had my MP3 player. The bus was a really enjoyable ride and we all got a memorable Russel Crow DVD in Spanish as a souvenier. How weird is that? We didn't really know what to do with ourselves when the host started handing out DVD's.
The Supra class Asla bus only took us as far as La Corunna. From there we caught another bus to Ferrol. Now the ticket for this one was only 6 euro. OBVIOUSLY not a Supra class and it sucked to be travelling on regular bus again haha. The bus ride in was about 35 minutes and it was a really gorgeous drive. When we arrived into Ferrol Pablo came to meet us and his father Manolo arrived shortly after. Hannah, Ruby, and Alex went with Pablo while Ben, Lauro and I went with Manolo. Now, Manolo is really nice and I appreciate the ride he gave us but I was pretty scared for my life for that 30 minutes into Cedeira. Everytime someone talked to him he would look at that person and not at the road and then had to slam his foot on the break lol.
In Cederia we were staying at Pablo's parents house. They have such a beautiful house as well, all hardwood floor and decorate beautifully. I loved it instantly. They even had 2 bedrooms for us...1 for the girls, and 1 for the smelly boys. After we dropped off our bag we headed down to the grocery store as we were all starving. We went a little crazy on the crisps but we did also buy a lot of stuff to make a big pasta. Back at the house Hannah and I were the cooks as everyone else proved to be pretty useless right off the bat lol. And Lauro had to make his noodles and couldn't wait for our delicious pasta and salad! Pablo's mom (Lucia) is so sweet and came in and got mad at us when we were trying to do our dishes from the mess we made.
After dinner we took a walk through the town and went to the beach. We went to a small beach not too far away from Pablo's house. I guess it was the harbour or port as there were alot of boats there. Pablo impressed us all by jumping in right away and Ben following and a run (kicking sand up at me in the process!). He took a nose dive (litteratly) and scraped his nose on something, we don't know what though. But we all ended up in the water (Ruby was forced as Alex threw her in) except for Hannah who sat this one out.
From the beach we walked up some hills and saw the amazing views of the ocean. Pablo also showed us the "secret" beach which is gorgeous. We stopped off at the "hut" which is more like a little cottage.
On our way back down to the house we took a little detour and stopped at a pub for a nice refreshing beer. Then we went back to the house an got dressed to go out! We went to the "Saloon Bar" and played quite a few rounds of pool, which I lost to amazingly. Corona's are only 2 euro and 10 cents. Everything is so cheap, it's awesome! We were out pretty late for not going to bed the night before. Us girls were smart and slept in the house while Alex, Ben, and Lauro went out and slept in the hut.

Details of the latest Anteros Coupe and Roadster models, both of which are patterned after the 2009 Corvette and first shown at the LA International Auto Show last year, have been made available by the specialty auto builder n2a Motors.
They highlight Italian motivated framework made from lightweight carbon fiber. On one hand the Anteros coupe is patterned after the Corvette Z06 with an LS7 7.0-liter V8 powerplant that comes with a Lingenfelter performance pack that raises engine yield from 505 hp to 630hp.
The Anteros roadster, on the other hand, is based on the standard Corvette and comes with the original LS3 V8 powerplant that generates 430hp and 424lb-ft of torque.
These new versions come with amalgamated carbon body, a bespoke cat back exhaust, three-piece aluminum rims, and a high-end interior that highlights hand-crafted leather.
The good news is that all these revisions do not invalidate Chevrolet's 100k mile powertrain warranty and these modified versions can be serviced at any Chevy dealership.
The standard coupe comes with a $149,500 price tag, while the convertible come with $154,500, and the range-topping Z06-patterned Anteros comes with $176,500. Also available are a range of performance kits that will help squeeze between 525hp to over 1000hp from the engine.
