Synthetic turf is perfect for the thunder of tiny feet
Grounds maintenance at schools and kindergartens is intensive, made more so by drought conditions and water restrictions. The upkeep of grass for ovals and play areas requires immense time and effort. How do you prevent these areas becoming dust bowls? The answer more and more schools are turning to is synthetic turf.Synthetic turf for your school ovals and activity areas:
Being able to run around, climb all over equipment and be extremely physical are essential parts of daily life for children in child care and kindergarten. Synthetic turf is pretty much the perfect surface for outdoor and sheltered play areas. It will withstand all the bumps and falls, provides a softer, cushioned surface for tumbles and accidents and requires virtually no maintenance once it is installed.
Synthetic turf installation is fast, efficient and hassle free
Synthetic turf installation does not take long. Standard installation takes a day, maybe a bit longer if you have several ovals and areas. We can install on a regular school day - with minimal interruption to your students, a weekend, or of course, over school holidays.
Our synthetic turf products are 100% Australian made and owned and come with a 10 year warranty and expected 20 year lifespan. We come in and take care of absolutely everything, including:
All labour, materials and machinery are included.
We can also arrange supply only of synthetic turf if you prefer your own grounds and maintenance staff to take care of installation.
Artificial grass can transform high density and fast growth area schools
Recent statistics show that Melbourne's population is rapidly on the increase. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 93,500 people moved to Melbourne in 2008-09 - a record number. This trend is set to continue with estimates that Melbourne's population will reach 4 million by July 2010.
This is going to mean more students at schools and more schools opening. Whether your schools is inner city or in the outer suburbs, installing synthetic turf is a smart way to make sure your grounds are equipped to handle the increase in traffic.

Loron Bible Conference
Last Friday night, under the brightness of a full moon, around 300 Loron Christians from at least ten different villages gathered for a 3-day believers' conference.
The organizers did an excellent job in preparing an appropriate location for the meetings and hosting the many visitors who came. The believers had a feast of good Bible teaching and also great fellowship with other Loron Christians. About two dozen folks walked from a village 25 miles away to attend the conference.
Pastor Matthew (left) from Burkina Faso teaching on the origins, purpose, problems and blessings of marriage. Joel translated from French into Loron.
Yours truly with Hovare
The church was too small to hold all those who attended the conference, so the believers erected a large grass shelter specifically for the occasion. This is the ladies section.
Pastor Roger (right) from Ivory Coast teaching on giving. He spoke for two solid hours on the subject! An excellent Bible teacher.
Portions of Scripture and other Bible teaching material sold like hotcakes!
It was a thrill to see so many booklets being sold. This was the first opportunity for some of the believers to purchase the book of Acts and other materials we have recently printed.

Should have put on my chest waders before clicking the links, got very deep.
This is a discussion on Violence Policy Center (VPC) newest cooked stats... within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; a.k.a. lies in the guise of research. I predict these lies will be coming to a paper near you, soon, and be used by anti-gun-politicians ...
a.k.a. lies in the guise of research.
I predict these lies will be coming to a paper near you, soon, and be used by anti-gun-politicians to push their agenda.
Note: As I understand it the VPC lumps all death by gun into the "per capita gun death" -- e.g. LEO shooting a BG to save another life or a self defense shooting is equated to a BG killing a victim.
Numbers can be spun and spun, but there is nothing new in this presentation - been debunked before.
VPC - Press Release - (06/02/2009) - States with Higher Gun Ownership and Weak Gun Laws Lead Nation in Gun Death
VPC - State Firearm Death Rates, Ranked by Rate, 2007
Anyone guess why District of Columbia is where it is?
States with higher gun ownership rates and weak gun laws have the highest rates of overall gun death according to a new analysis by the Violence Policy Center (VPC) of just-released 2007 national data (the most recent available) from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Preventions National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
The VPC defined states with "weak" gun laws as those that add little or nothing to federal restrictions and have permissive laws governing the open or concealed carrying of firearms in public. States with "strong" gun laws were defined as those that add significant state regulation in addition to federal law, such as restricting access to particularly hazardous types of firearms (for example, assault weapons), setting minimum safety standards for firearms and/or requiring a permit to purchase a firearm, and restrictive laws governing the open and concealed carrying of firearms in public.

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
A 9MM MAY expand to .45 but a 45ACP will never shrink to 9MM.
VPC is a misnomer, as it should be the policy of every able bodied individual that if violence is presented the proper indicated response is enough violence to stop the violence that was initiated.
Maybe I should send them a letter stating so.
They should probably do an addendum for Illinois. It's been a busy year already. 39th, really? Undoubtedly they weight the ratings so that stupid laws points can hide firearm death points.

Wow, the BB's own website shows that the states with the strongest gun laws have the most gun related deaths, vs. the states with the weakest have the least.
All this contradictory info...I just don't know what to think anymore.

When organizations like Cease Fire makes statistics about how many kids die from gun violence each year, I would bet that half those youths killed are either criminals or gangbangers. I have no sympathy for the ones killed who fall in that category. That was the direction they chose and as a result, paid the price.
Lets look at the CDC (Center for Disease Control) statistics for 2007:
300,000,000 US Census
80,000,000 US Gun Owners
258,000,000 US Total Firearms
6,000,000 US CHP Holders (2% of population)
31,224 US Gun Related Deaths
17,352 US Suicides by gun (55.6% of gun deaths and 50% of suicides)
13,872 US Non-Suicide Gun Deaths
613 US Accidental gun deaths
351 US Law Enforcement involved gun deaths
276 US gun deaths undetermined intent
12,632 US Homicides with a gun (justifiable or not)
41 US CHP Holder Homicides in 2007 (.00068% of all CHP holders)
.00068% Percentage of US CHP Holders committed homicide
.00430% Percentage of US non-CHP holder committed homicide
*** The homicide rate for the 98% of the non-CHP holding population (294,000,000) is approximately 6.3 TIMES GREATER than the CHP holders. This is not age adjusted. Approximately 21,000,000 in that 98% were under the age of 5.
The accidental bicycle deaths for 2007 were 820. Higher than accidental gun deaths. In 2007, a person was 20 times more likely to die on a pedal bike than by a CCW.
In relation to the total population, total gun owners, etc. these percentages are very small indeed. Coincidentally, Motor Vehicle Deaths were over 44,000. Cars are statistically more deadly than guns. Removing the suicide deaths by guns drastically changes the percentages.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Here's another wrinkle they don't address: close to 10% of the adult population of CT has carry permits, yet they fall into the "low gun deaths" column. Have to wonder how VPC would spin that little nugget of information.

gun deaths.... does this mean they include criminal vs criminal, accidents and law enforcement?

Kevin Gates is currently serving a 30 month prison sentence on battery charges for kicking a fan in the summer of 2015 while he was performing on stage at an event in Lakeland, Florida. But that doesn't keep his team from releasing new music.
After several pre-album singles over the past few weeks, the brand new project ByAnyMeans2 has been released today in its entirety. The project's release is spearheaded by Kevin's wife Dreka Gates. PnB Rock serves as the only guest appearance on the album which is no surprise as even Gates' platinum selling debut album Islah had zero features.

I picked up this knit top in my favorite thrifting spot last week and wore it yesterday.
Several people said, "Hey that looks like the new Target stuff (e.g. Missoni.)"
I was surprised my non-fashionista friends were so up on designer Target lines (and besides I considered the pattern to be more Jonathan Adler than Missoni) until I found out that people in the city were killing each other to be first to grab Missoni at Target prices.
I wore my version with a thrifted orange scarf, thrifted teal shoes I found in my drawer at work, my DIY bangles and a white Talbot's skirt (to give the eye a break, natch.) Total cost: $27.
I don't think there is a color that does not go with this little top.
For those of you who did not make it to Target and aren't finding fabulous second-hand knit tops, there's a free tutorial for making your own Missoni-inspired throw.
Yet another reason to learn how to crochet.

A Prize for Helianthus
I won the Gold Award in the Book Category for "Helianthus" at the Images 35 competition - the exhibition is still up until tomorrow at the Bankside Gallery in London before it goes on a tour to some other places in the UK. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera to the opening night, but more pictures can be found on the AOI website.

text: Mike Kiser and Don Harvey made the long tow to Lawrenceburg and were not disappointed. Apparently Kiser packed the heavy duty shop broom in the hauler as he swept the entire weekend! Harvey was also impressive posting two top 8 finishes along the way. Stay tuned for more information from the Indiana Nationals program, just waiting to get the press.

Sunday has always been a big disappointment to me. Technically, it is a free day, to be used as a typical day off, but the day after takes away from the magic.
That being said, This Saturday is not so bad. Right now I am in my house up on the mountain not really doing anything, and it feels good! The breeze is sweeping through the open windows, and though I can not call it "refreshing" it still is a billion times better than being in the hot and humid environment of the city..
Feelin? pretty good right now. I just ran my 5th hash yesterday. I am proud to say that I came in with the front of the pack, after not exercising at all for over three weeks! I am feeling the burn of residual lactic acid, though.
The race this time was in southern Aso, and for once it was a beautiful day with no rain! Props to Ben for putting it on, and to everyone who showed up.
So yesterday, I was immortalized and given the name "Sonic" because of my righteous fro! I truly have sukebe hair, which seems to grow at the same rate as the grass of Kyushu during the Summer. Anyways, this nickname is not new at all. I was first called Sonic when the Sega Genesis, the badass 16 bit console of the day, was at its zenith of popularity. Then I grew out my hair and had it parted down the middle, losing the nickname until college rolled around. The nickname periodically has resurfaced, with everyone who bestows it on me believing themselves to be original in drawing a parallel between my hair and that of the Blue hedgehog. That being said, it is time to make a decision. I will either allow my mane to grow, allowing it to thrive past the point of any semblance of control, or take the scissors to it.
Sonic also happens to be the name of a really cool dog that lived with Justin about 10 years ago. Sonic is blended into my earlier impressions of Japan. Sonic ran faster than the wind, chasing bottle rockets (and I swear, almost catching them) through the rice paddies of Nara-Ken. Watching Sonic tear through the rice stalks was like watching a turbo-charged alien snake-worm in Tremors rip through the desert sands, but more fast and agile.

How can you give yourself a little bit of a break this week and take it easy on yourself?
Have you noticed that "Getting Healthy" means "cracking the whip", "getting it together", "working harder", "never giving up", the list goes on and on? I'm not a big fan of these motivation techniques when it comes to making healthy changes and choices. Why does it have to be so serious? Can't getting healthier be fun, enjoyable, and dare I say….easy?
Let's talk about this for a minute. Do you typically stick to things that you genuinely enjoy, that come easy to you, and that are fun? I definitely do. It's hard to make something a habit if it's not something you're enjoying. So, I'd like to take the seriousness out of getting fit, healthy, losing 10 pounds, what have you. And put the FUN and EASE back into it.
Let's make our lives a little less serious and give ourselves more room for play. We can do this pretty simply by giving ourselves a much needed break. We don't have to juice all of our vegetables and do a hardcore 7-day cleanse in order to get healthy. We can make it a little easier on ourselves and enjoy a simply made salad instead. We can have a dinner party for a few friends and serve a healthy dinner to make the process more enjoyable. Think about how much fun it would be to invite some friends over for a potluck and ask each person to bring a healthy dish to share? You could even turn it into a recipe swap! You're all getting healthy while enjoying yourselves and in great company. And there's nothing saying you can't serve those delicious dishes with a side of wine!
The foods you choose to eat don't have to be overly complicated either. One of my favorite and FAST go-to breakfasts or snacks is toast with smashed avocado. It takes all of 5 minutes to make and is healthy, filling, and so tasty! It doesn't have to be complicated with ingredients that cost a month's rent.
Don't get me wrong – I totally understand that sometimes in life we can't always do things we enjoy. Sometimes going to the gym for thirty minutes or an hour is just something we have to dig deep and do because we know that when we're done we'll be glad we did it. But does it have to be a workout that we don't enjoy doing? Does it have to be something that is so hard to do that we can't make it through the warm up? I don't believe it does. I don't think that sounds like all that much fun – doing so many burpees that you feel faint. Nor does it sound healthy. Part of living a healthy life is having balance in your life. There's an ebb and flow between times of exerted effort and times of relaxation. Sometimes it's a blast to have a pushup contest with a friend or push to beat your last running time. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the folks out there that are doing it all just in the name of getting healthy and not for the enjoyment of taking care of themselves. The one's that do it and get injured because they're not taking rest days. In the words of Frankie, I say RELAX.
I recently had a conversation with a client of mine, let's call her Sara, where she said that she needed to work out more. Maybe this was true. Sara wasn't as active as she would like to be. It's what brought her to come and start working with me. So, I suggested she start tracking her workouts in between our sessions, but I told her to include "non-traditional workouts" such as going for walks. What we found out is that she was actually A LOT more active than she thought. The truth was she had the idea in her mind that her activities had to be hardcore workout, sweat sessions. And she wasn't giving herself credit where credit was due. Sara was actually a very active person, but still she wanted more sweaty workouts in her life to feel more balanced. I get that. I like it too. I try to keep a healthy lifestyle in my day to day activity, but also enjoy really sweating it out. I told her the workout doesn't have to be a pain in the ass for it to be a workout. I consider walking my dog for 30 minutes workout time. Some might not agree with me, but I'm active, off the couch, and enjoying myself. To me, that meets all the workout requirements. And I do that almost daily. I might not hit the gym for an hour everyday, but when I do, I do workouts I enjoy. And now Sara does as well. Give yourself a break. It doesn't have to be so serious.
It can be…dare I say… Easy.

There is a recurring motif to most insurance claims. It echoes through all meetings, reverberates up and down the phone lines, and creeps into every email like a pompous academic's flashy notations. It has been transmitting through all of time and space, and underpins the entire industry.
The message: how much?
Indeed, this is what insurance is basically providing – the funds to repair, correct, replace and compensate for some form of damage suffered.
In many large and complex construction related claims (be they PI, contract works or similar) the issue is finding out exactly what was involved and how much it will take to fix it. Insurers, through their lawyers, often engage specialist quantity surveyors to provide expert opinions on the "how much?" question.
The vibe we hear around the Rialto is that there are a lot of displeased insurers out there who aren't getting what they thought from quantity surveyors. Apparently, even if they do receive an opinion on the "how much?", it takes a really long time and costs a substantial amount of money.
In other cases, the report is so qualified or has so many "coulds" and "maybes" that insurers feel that all they have received is a "definite maybe".
We understand that often there is not enough information to allow a more definite answer and that quantity surveyors are as mindful as the rest of us about being sued for professional negligence, but we wonder if using a QS in the first instance is what insurers really want.
Maybe a humble adjuster can provide enough information to allow a preliminary assessment of an amount for a reserve to be determined. This calls to mind the old saying "You wouldn't use Phar Lap to pull a milk cart".

Do Bloggers Need To Concern Themselves With SEO?
Millions of bloggers do not really concern themselves with any sort of internet marketing. In fact, there are new blogs being set up right now and there's no real concern as to whether or not anyone will read what is written. You may find yourself in a position where you're putting up a lot of thoughts and ideas into the marketing world and seeing no major shift in traffic.
If that's the case, you're going to end up losing out on what's available today for anyone to utilize in terms of getting attention online. If you want to reach a higher plateau of individuals, you're going to want to look into the many elements that are in place for you to work with in terms of marketing. One of the premier elements that you're going to hear about often is that of SEO and it's not going to change any time soon. This opportunity to market your site hinges on several branches, but it's very much a thing of premier implementation and strategy.To get the best site ranking solution Click Here.
Defining The Meaning of The Acronym
As with any acronym that you're going to run into in tech, it stands for something that has definitive meaning, and in this case it stands for search engine optimization. It means a lot of things to different people, but it's something that can help you build traffic and more with relative ease. The problem that you're going to face though, is not so much in terms of marketing, but the implementation process that can be arduous to say the least. What most people don't realize is that to work with this, is not to just push one button, you'll have to do a lot more than that.
In the past, there were simple measures that you had to work with in order to gain relevance overall, but today, you're going to have to do a lot more work to get the same kind of influence overall. For instance, you're going to have to look into optimization cycles in a number of different ways. The more you work within the parameters of this marketing solution, the higher you're going to end up moving into the right directions.
What Optimization Looks Like
The starting point for this type of work, especially for bloggers is with the template that is being used. If you're hosting your site with a legitimate web host, then you're going to find that you need to implement several cycles that are going to help you build credibility. That means that the template that you choose has to come equipped with SEO friendly coding, as well as searching for plugins that can help you gain market share as well. You aren't going to get very far if you unpack a blogging software and end up working within the parameters of something very limited. Things don't work well in that regard and you're going to gain a solution that will not give you any sort of leverage.
You will find that optimization from the stand point of blogging relies on template, coding, and plugins. From that point forward, you'll have to implement keywords, links, and more to your site to get a bit of a push forward with your content.
100% Great Content, No Visitors
Bloggers that ignore the rules and standards of SEO are still posting a lot of great content. Start looking online into the deep search results that you may find and you'll find a lot of great information overall. The problem with this however is simple, you're going to see a lot of content that gets ignored. If you are a great writer or you have content that deserves to be seen, you have to work on promoting it through any means necessary, and that means working with search engine optimization. If you don't, your content can't save you, and you'll end up seeing a drop in the audience that you have or may want. If you're not getting an audience pushing forward through your page, you're going to end up losing out in the long term of your site. You don't want to lose out on the influence that is out there, so you'll want to not only put up good content but also work with parameters that will get you attention on the web.
Bloggers Do Need SEO
There are some iconoclasts that do not need to concern themselves with this at all. You may be an iconoclast and you may have an audience that is well in place for your pages. If that's the case, then by all means keep moving forward, but be careful, because you'll find that as high you rise you will drop fast too. Search engines are not just indexing pages with relative ease any longer, they are working with parameters that could end up causing you a great deal of loss. Just look into algorithmic penalties and you'll see what is really going on in the world of marketing.
At the end of the day, you can either hire a professional company to do the SEO work you need, or you could end up losing out on the potential of millions of hits coming to your page.

Brian Jennings is the founder of RareSonance Media and EBC Music/Universal. A Georgia native, Jennings had the benefit of developing his musical ears as Atlanta began its burgeoning rise as the new Motown. Not satisfied simply being a fan, Jennings was a music student receiving several degrees and accolades. His studies include: Recording Workshop – Chillicothe, OH (Advanced Music Recording and Audio Production Program) Georgia State University – Atlanta, GA (Jazz Performance)Berklee College Of Music – Boston, MA (Master Certificate Music Business Program) Jennings is also a Certified Recording and Mixing engineer and Music Instructor.
As a freelance recording and mixing engineer Jennings worked with numerous artists, including: Sean Paul (Yungbloodz) Pastor Troy, Lil Scrappy, Keisha Jackson, Tango Redd, Q Parker (112), London (Universal Recording Artist), Don P (Trillville), Yung LA, CL Smooth, Ray Rush, Sammie, and Crystal Nicole (Interscope).
Prior to starting EBC and Rare, Jennings managed Grammy-award winning/platinum selling artist Q Parker (112) (Malaco), along with several up and coming producers and songwriters. He also served as Vice President at TMG Music Group, an Atlanta-based management company specializing in the development and management of independent talent from a myriad of musical genres and backgrounds. During Jennings four year stint with TMG the company experienced monumental growth, hosted four of the biggest independent showcases in the southeast, and became the southeastern talent scout for BET 106 & Park's Wild Out Wednesday. Jennings duality in serving in both creative and business aspects proved invaluable allowing him to guide and consult over 70 groups during his tenure.

These positions allow him the benefit of staying current with youth-driven trends and affords him the ability to predict trends and potential success.
Jennings is determined to continue to be a voice for the independent artist in an ever-changing entertainment scene. He knows that his ability to segue between the creative process, the engineering process, and the boardroom makes him an asset to those he manages and consults, but he insists his biggest asset is his dedication to music in its purest form. "RareSonance is a company that operates with integrity and on the true interest of the client. I believe that is the best way to ensure that good music and media are not compromised," Jennings states

What makes you happy?
When you discover that equation then I know you will get lots of compliments re: you're looking great! and I hope you can say "thanks!" – like I've been doing since I've been in the semi-public eye for 3 days since my return from fun-family vacationing and adventures in Europe.
What's different? I've been noticing all day today here in Long Island, NY that my work load is lighter (since I've given myself time to catch up) and that I'm not in a hurry to complete something or get somewhere. I've had extreme patience (for me) at MD's office's and bank business. That's really different…
I've not attended any evening events (due to jetlag). Jetlag is gone now (speeded up with acupuncture and light treatments:))
Sometimes as entrepreneurs/small biz owners we must be on overload, even when we do not realize it. This week has shown me, once again, how important it is to take an extended time off.
Just do it- it's good for you- and you'll look great!

12 Things You Need To Know Today (July 8)
1. "Jane the Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez talks about struggling to succeed in Hollywood due to a thyroid condition.
The award-winning Latina stunner was fired from a job after gaining weight, and shortly after was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder. She feared the disease might make her weight such an issue she wouldn't be able to get leading lady roles. One key element in her strategy for success? Positive self-talk. Rodriguez said. "For many years I had a daily conversation with myself about how I was going to help make that change... Because there is no way in this world things are only allotted to certain people because of their figure. There...is no way that's fair...no way that kind of limitation is going to help those that don't fit into that box." (People)
2. Don't know what your smartphone is made of? Don't worry—you're not alone.
It's nearly impossible to know exactly who made your smartphone and what materials they made it from—until now. A new startup called Fairphone is looking to demystify the industry with a $580 Android-powered phone made from responsibly sourced materials and labor. (WSJ)
3. Electric bikes could encourage more people to exercise.
Most people don't ever consider using bikes equipped with a motor. But a new study suggests it could actually offer surprising health benefits. Because it can assist with pedaling when needed, it makes riding for long distances seem less daunting and could lead to more people biking to work. (NYT)
4. America's pesticides are a major threat to organic honey.
Beehives in North Dakota, one of the last best places in North America to keep honeybees, are in danger of disappearing due to corn and soybean crops. "There's a direct relationship between honey per hive produced in North Dakota and the amount of grassland in relation to acres converted to row crops," says Clint Otto, research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center. (Civil Eats)
5. Scientists may have finally found the answer to staying full between breakfast and lunch.
According to a small new study, the key to staying full between breakfast and lunch is to drink a milkshake for breakfast. Researchers found that consuming a thick beverage creates a feeling of "phantom fullness," meaning the thickness of a drink makes people feel like they're consuming more calories than they actually are. On the milkshake note, though, you should probably opt for a thick, nutritious smoothie instead. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
6. Nearly every athlete is doing some form of yoga these days.
Whether it's hot yoga, Iyengar, or Gyrotonic, soccer players, tennis stars, and rugby players are all doing some form of the ancient practice—and it's making them better athletes. Yep, yoga is officially everywhere. (The Guardian)
7. The edible-insect industry just keeps on growing.
As back in May, the North American Edible Insect Coalition got together in Detroit to determine just how big the bugs-as-food industry had become. The answer? Really, really big. So many people are enjoying chowing down on crickets and other insects that the industry is getting ready to lobby in Washington. Grilled cockroaches for dinner, anyone? (Quartz)
8. New studies suggest porn may increase attraction between partners.
Contrary to the fear-mongery data swimming around on the topic, this study of 280 Idaho men showed that the ones who viewed pornography had higher sexual sensitivity—the opposite of erectile dysfunction. (Science Of Us)
9. Instagram is the new support group for those with weight-loss goals.
With popular hashtags like #Whole30, #FitFam, and #WeightWatchers, Instagram has become home to thousands of people looking for support while they work on reaching a healthy weight. Researchers say the social media platform has found particular success among dieters because it provides a sense of community while still offering some privacy. (NYT)
10. Could this test predict Alzheimer's in young adults?
A new study suggests that a simple genetic test could one day help people as young as 35 identify whether they might develop the disease. Researchers say this could encourage those at risk to make lifestyle changes early on. (The Telegraph)
11. Are Maine blueberries the new Maine lobster?
Residents in Maine are saying yes to the newest locavore trend, wild blueberry salad. Don't worry, though, this new offering won't turn you into a berry like the gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Instead, it'll add a tongue-dyeing crunch to a summer staple. (Eater)
12. New studies aim to discover why more black women die of breast cancer.
A $12 million grant from the National Cancer Institute will fund research of over 20,000 black women with breast cancer, comparing them to black women without the disease and to white women who suffer from breast cancer. (NYT)

I'm not really sure what aspect of jobs versus careers that you are interested in as this topic could be narrowed in many different ways. If my answer to your question does not answer a more specific research topic that you have developed then feel free to get back in touch with us here at the library.
I went into the business libguide at libguides.brenau.edu/business. From there I chose the articles tab and then I chose the database Business Source Complete. You will be asked to login using your six digit student ID number and the first part of your email address.
On the main search page I entered the search terms Jobs Versus Careers. I got seven results. Some had to do with having a career work ethic versus just having a job and another had to do with job versus career satisfaction. If you are not certain of what aspect of jobs versus careers you are interested in writing about you might consider reading some of these articles to gain ideas on the topic. You can then construct searches using keywords that will get you more information that is relevant to your narrowed topic.

I don't intend to do much prize-shadowing this year. I intend to continue with my #gapyeartravel reading. But when I saw the shortlist for the Costa Novel award (to be awarded later today) and realised I'd read most of it, what could I do but complete it and determine which novel would win, were I the sole judge?
If the usual rules hold true, the actual prize will probably go to the one I liked least. Well, that would be Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent, which I could not finish. It took far too long to slither anywhere, so at the half-way point I slithered elsewhere. I would, however, award the physical object, Dust Jacket of the Year. What a beauty!
Reading my review of O'Farrell's This Must Be The Place, I find I wasn't dazzled by it either, though memory tells me that I enjoyed it more than my review would suggest. Still I'm not going to overrule myself six months later.
Which leaves me to choose between Sebastian Barry's Days Without End and Rose Tremain's The Gustav Sonata. What a contest! Both authors have won the Costa Novel Award previously with Barry's The Secret Scripture going on to take the overall Book of The Year Award in 2008. That suggests that the competition for Lizzy's award is going to be a close-run thing. And it is. My decision will be reached as I write this post!
Let's take them in alphabetical sequence.
Who would have expected Sebastian Barry to have written a Western? Not me, for sure and so finding myself transported back to the Wild West was the biggest surprise on the shortlist for me. Barry is known for mining his family's history, and so Thomas McNulty, the great-uncle who was involved in the Indian wars, makes his appearance in Days Without End. Not much more is known about the real Thomas, so his tale of gradual transformation from Thomas to Thomasina, and his relationship with John Cole, is entirely fictional, written as a sympathetic response to the coming out of the author's son.
The historical backdrop, however is anything but fictional, and Barry's exploration of that ugly time is brutal and unflinching. Thomas and John find themselves fighting in both the Indian Wars and the American Civil War. Terms of engagement were different back then, and war crimes were frequent. Barry not afraid to show them. He also demonstrates where the white man could learn from the Native Indians in terms of generosity, compassion and a fluid understanding of gender issues.
Indeed it is the existence of the 19th century Native two spirits that lends credibility to the development of Thomasina. Yet Barry pushes the plot too far in defence of a 21st century agenda – same sex marriage, adoption by gay couples, opening himself up to a justified charge of anachronism.
That said, Barry's prose is in a class of its own. In places, rough around the edges – Thomas isn't an educated man; his narrative is at times matter-of-fact, at others full of unsentimental heartfelt emotion that brought tears to my eyes. Descriptions of landscape that you can smell and touch. Battles are related with an immediacy that have the reader standing sabre to sabre with him. Simply breathtaking.
And so to The Gustav Sonata and perhaps the saddest character in the quartet of shortlisted novels.
Not that Gustav Perle realises his own sadness. He suppresses it along with other needs contenting himself to empathise and cater for others. It's a pattern established from an early age by his widowed mother, embittered by the outcome of her marriage and the poverty of her widowhood, and his rich, Jewish and talented school friend, Anton Zwiebel, who wishes to become a concert pianist but is too highly-strung to perform well under pressure. In adulthood the pattern continues with Gustav becoming a hotellier, always catering for his guests, rather than developing a meaningful relationship of his own. It's not until late-middle age that Gustav finds a happy ending and becomes the person he always should have been. A bit of a spoiler there, but I was so happy for him. Never has a fictional character deserved it more.
A sonata is a musical structure consisting of three main movements: exposition, development and recapitulation. Tremain structures her novel thus. The first section describes Gustav's childhood in Matzlingen, Switzerland. The second explains his mother's embitterment, and, while it does nothing to endear her to the reader, it does explain why she impresses on Gustav the need "to be like Switzerland. You have to hold yourself together and be courageous, stay separate and strong. Then, you will have the right kind of life." The third section repeats many of the rifts of the previous sections though in different chords: the story of Gustav's father's heroism in helping refugee Jews from the viewpoint of his lover, Gustav's continuing generosity to those who need his emotional support, and, finally the recognition of his own nature with some payback from those who have previously taken so much from him.
This is a very smooth and, in places, subtle read. Tremain infers, frequently through repeated motifs, many drawn from the life and literature of Thomas Mann, who spent many years in exile in Switzerland on account of his Jewish wife. In addition, the novel taught me things about Swiss history that I did not know.
Can I fault it in anyway? Only in so far as the names of the main characters might be a subtlety too far. An English reader would naturally not pronounce the final syllable of Gustav's surname and would read it as Pearl. He is, of course, an absolute gem. Anton's surname means Onion. Correspondingly he is the cause of many tears and sorrows.
It's a minor quibble, and certainly doesn't stretch my credibility as far as some elements of Barry's novel. I'm sorry for that because Days Without End is the novel that bedazzled me while reading. The Gustav Sonata grew on me while reviewing. I think that its hidden depths will better reward further readings. This last consideration tips the balance in Tremain's favour. She would be the Costa 2016 novel winner if I were making the announcement tonight.

Mostly Biz: President Lee Myung-bak States South Korea Will Retaliate If Provoked Again
President of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak has stated that the country will retaliate if provoked once again by North Korea. China on the other hand, has asked the region to have talks over the ongoing tense situation. According to a speech, Lee stated "It's become clear that more patience and tolerance only leads to bigger provocations, North Korea will be made to pay for any further provocation no matter what."
Military movement on the island of Yeonpyeong has now doubled and as matters become a point of concern when the North Korean's positioned surface to air missiles on their border. An emergency meeting is scheduled sometime next month, which will include the top countries in the world like Russia, USA, Japan, China and Korea, who will be talking about the current situation.
Chinese spokesperson also stated that South will need to take into consideration China's proposal of talks, and this will be the best way to avoid making matters get even worse. The US Navy has sent its nuclear powered aircraft carrier, USS George Washington to the Korean waters to take part in the ongoing US Korea naval exercises.
North Korea earlier had issued warnings against US and South Korea regarding the naval exercise, it said that if they go ahead with it they would face unpredictable consequences. In addition to this the whole situation in a span of a week has been pushed the whole region to the brink of a war, and there is no one who is more credible to this situation except North Korea themselves.

|Another remarkable recording by the quirky Oregon composer/performer Richard Crandell, whose first delightful CD for Tzadik Mbira Magic hit several Best Ten lists for 2004. Adapting and retuning traditional Shona instruments, Crandell draws upon the work of Steve Reich, Terry Riley and John Fahey to create a hypnotic minimalist world through the use of repetition, variation and phasing. Charming and original, this is beautiful and subtle music from a recently rediscovered maverick composer out of the early days of west coast minimalism.

Last Fall, Eric C ran across a passage in The Moon is Down that captured his thoughts so well, he just posted it straight up. The conclusions of The Ugly American (you can read Monday's review here) made me feel the exact same way.
In The Ugly American, Ambassador to Sarkhan Gilbert MacWhite lays out six conditions he demands of every foreign service officer traveling to the fictional country of Sarkhan. Change some of the words from Sarkhan to Afghanistan, and you have what I believe would be six fantastic ideas for counter-insurgents abroad:
1. I request that every American (and his dependents) sent to Sarkhan be required to be able to both read and speak Sarkhanese. I am satisfied that if the motivation is high enough, any person can learn enough of the language in twelve weeks so that he can get along. This should be required of both military and civilian personnel.
2. I request that no American employee be allowed to bring his dependents to Sarkhan unless he is willing to serve here for at least two years. If he does bring his family, it should be with the understanding they will not be given luxurious quarters, but will live in housing which is normal to the area; their housing should certainly not be more luxurious than they are able to afford in America. They should also subsist on foods available in local stores--which are wholesome and ample.
3. I request that the American commissary and PX be withdrawn from Sarkhan, and that no American supplies be sold except for toilet articles, baby food, canned milk, coffee, and tobacco.
4. I request that Americans not be allowed to bring their private automobiles to this country. All of our official transportation should be done in official automobiles. Private transportation should be taxi, pedicab, or bicycle.
5. I request that all Americans serving in Sarkhan, regardless of their classification, be required to read books by Mao Tse-tung, Lenin, Chou En-lai, Marx, Engels, and leading Asian Communists. This reading should be done before arrival. [Editorial note: This is an anachronistic holdover between capitalism and communism, but they totally apply to knowing your enemy.]
6. I request that in our current recruiting program we make all of these conditions clear to any prospective government employee, so that he comes here with no illusions. It has been my experience that superior people are attracted only by challenge. By setting our standards low and making our life soft, we have, quite automatically and unconsciously, assured ourselves of mediocre people.
And now my thoughts:
Now, obviously some of these would only work metaphorically, and some would work literally. The important point is that at the time of printing, in 1958, these ideas were radical. They still are today.
For example, virtually every Soldier spends an hour each day conducting physical fitness. Soldiers are tested twice a year in the Army Physical Fitness Test, and their results are put in evaluation reports, and rewarded with medals in some cases. Yet virtually no unit studies languages regularly, and testing for languages is voluntary, even with units about to deploy.
Points 2, 3, and 4 don't apply directly, (no Soldiers or Marines bring their dependents to Afghanistan or Iraq) but the principle does. We deploy in relative luxury. We have access to DVDs, air conditioning, and some Super-FOBs have Burger King. Compared to the immense poverty of the surrounding countryside of Afghanistan, this is just insulting. If Afghan Soldiers can get away without AC, our Soldiers should. We should live like Afghans, the way insurgents, and good counter-insurgents, do.
Overall, the demand for luxury is a loss of focus on the mission. Much has been made of General Stanley McChrystal's spartan living habits in Afghanistan. I have a feeling this comes from an understanding that luxury like gourmet coffee, steak and shrimp dinners, basketball tournaments, and salsa night do not contribute to mission success.
Which rule would you like to see America implement for better COIN?

Grilling Peaches and Brats, with Sage Roasted Potatoes
My belly was very happy after a recent meal. Here's how it happened:
During a conference call I'd downloaded a ton of recipes from a batch of 30 scallop recipes. We'd made one and it was good. I had more scallops frozen. And, I'd not thought about the next few evenings dinners before that day so I kind of figured we'd try the scallops with chestnut sauce and maybe do tilapia sandwiches. Not planning a meal ahead is rare for me. I usually have all our meals planned out a week ahead. During the same conference call I'd also downloaded one called Milwaukee dogs. Brats with sauerkraut, Dijon mustard and Swiss cheese.
Then, fate interfered. My internet at my Greenwood office has always been lousy. On cloudy days the modem just doesn't work well. I'd left my modem in my Columbus office so figured I'd use my phone as a tether. Well, that only works if you actually have a card to support it in your computer. So, instead of spending the whole day in Greenwood, I did one meeting in there and drove back to Indy and did the rest via GoToMeeting. And, I called Connie and said, "Please solve this problem permanently." That meant that the next day he was in Greenwood with the folks to hook up real internet. It also meant that he was going to be near Claus' Haus - the German meat market. My mind immediately went to the Milwaukee dogs when he called and suggested that on the way home he'd stop and pick up anything I'd like. I'd like brats, please.
Now, on top of the brats, our friends Raquel and Steve had brought over some potatoes from their garden. Amazing potatoes. Lovely little reds. Creamy. Perfect. I'd found a recipe on the New York Times website for sage roasted potatoes. Connie adores fried sage. I adore potatoes. We were in business!
And, the peach truck had been here. I'd texted my brother John to let him know that we were planning on heading there that afternoon. He texted back that he was in line and was going to get me some. I asked for a box since our friends Deb and Ken wanted to split a box. Does John rock or what????
We had the makings of a perfect dinner. Milwaukee dogs. Sage roasted potatoes. Grilled peaches with blue cheese and honey. Connie tried the brats first. YUM! Then, he tried the potatoes. WOW! Now, since he's not fond of fruit, he saved the peaches for last. His eyes pretty much rolled back into his head. "Pretty good, huh," I said. "That's an understatement," he said. Then, he asked me to rate them. First place went to the peaches. Second to the potatoes. Third to the brats. But, seriously, if I had 100 points to distribute, they'd all be getting about 33! He tried to cheat the system and give the peaches a 7 on a scale of 1-5. LOL.
Here's a photo of the peaches, brats and buns coming off the grill:
Now, on to the recipes.
Milwaukee Dogs
Swiss cheese
Dijon mustard
Heat the sauerkraut. Grill the brats. Just as they get done, slice them in half, move them to the cool side of the grill and put slices of Swiss cheese on them. Toast the buns. Schmear with Dijon. Put the brats on the buns, top with sauerkraut and top with the other half.
Adapted from the Betty Crocker
Peaches with Blue Cheese and Honey
blue cheese
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Grill cut side down until softened. Flip and put a knob of blue cheese in each cavity. Grill until the blue cheese melts. Remove from the grill and plate. Drizzle with honey.
Roasted Potatoes with Sage
1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, cut in half
1/3 c flour
1 1/2 T olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (I accidentally omitted this)
1/4 c chopped fresh sage leaves
1 T unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
12 fresh sage leaves
1 T unsalted butter
Put a large cast iron skillet in your oven. Preheat your oven to 450F. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.
Put them in a saucepan of cold, salted water. Put the saucepan on high heat and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, lower the heat and simmer the potatoes for five minutes. Drain them and pat them dry. Sprinkle the flour on a plate and roll the potatoes in it. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour in the olive oil, making sure to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. Lay the potatoes in the skillet cut side down.
Roast them for 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and flip the potatoes. It was at this point that I added the chopped sage leaves and forgot about the garlic. You do NOT want to put the garlic now but you can add the chopped sage. Roast another ten minutes.
While the potatoes are finishing up in the oven, you need to fry the sage leaves. Put a tablespoon of butter in a very shallow skillet (an omelet pan works well) and let it melt and get bubbly and hot. Add the sage leaves in one layer. When the first side is a bit brown, flip them. They're easy to overcook so keep a good eye on them.
When you remove the skillet from the oven, quickly add the last tablespoon of butter and the garlic. Serve the potatoes topped with the sage leaves.

This was our second joint tyvek project. A 2 ½ by 1 ½ meters Edo.
Unfortunately I decided to use really expensive acrylic paint... The kind with a lot of pigment but hardly any glue :-( It looked really beautifull just after I had finished but then the flaking began. I've tried repairing it and putting it in the sun for numerous hours but it's no use, expensive paint sucks.
This is my first home build kite, a Sanyo Rokaku Hakaku. Which is basically a "double Sanyo Rokaku. Rokaku means 6 sided, hakaku means 8 sided. It was built by Aldo, painted by me. It depicts a "Dragon Ball Z" dragon holding a dragon ball (left claw). We used to love watching that show on Sunday mornings. 2 hours (!) of sweet mind numbing entertainment. Untill the cable company cancelled the Cartoon Network channel. Grrr...
Finally, finally I'm blogging, so lets keep going!
Ofcourse Pucca and Garu weren't my first kites. Although they were my first "experimental" kites. As in no traditional kite shape or building plan. They are my invention and they love showing this by flying... eh, enthousiastically energetic :-/. Let's just say they need a watchfull eye at all times.
As promised by Aldo a couple of days ago; the presentation of Garu "the kite". Pucca is finally reunited with her beloved. He usually isn't to happy when this happens but we are!
Here are Garu and Pucca, together at last :-) Garu isn't completely finished in this picture and Pucca isn't wearing all of her sticks. But who cares!

The Girls of Atomic City: by Denise Kiernan | Conversation Starters
A Brief Look Inside:
Many people are familiar with the famous image of Rosie the Riveter that circulated throughout the World War II era. In fact, today, Rosie the Riveter has become a bit of an icon for women. However, many people do not know the story of the woman behind the image. Denise Kiernan has set out to tell that story with her biographical novel, The Girls of Atomic City. The book tells the story of the women who worked on the Manhattan Project without knowing they were helping to supply uranium to create the first atomic bomb. In its first week of sales, The Girls of Atomic City became a New York Times bestseller.

Styrofoam egg cartons are good for holding eggs. They also excel at holding water, which you may not know, can be turned into ice. Put some water in your empty egg carton, and put that egg carton in the freezer. Soon you will have acquired ice cubes. If you did not wash out your egg carton beforehand, you may also have acquired frozen cubes of salmonella poisoning.

Window Blinds
Window blinds for the home come in all sorts of colors and designs, and they are generally placed on the inside of the window, normally hanging from the top of the window frame. Blinds are useful for letting the desired amount of sunlight into your home. Not unlike followers of Hari Krishna, sunlight is orange and tends to follow the leader. Without proper management, the light will just keep pouring in like an unending line of Hari Krishna's, until you've got no room for anything else.

Nine Lives of Newspaper
Newspaper has a thousand frugal uses beyond spreading the latest in horrible news. Once you are finished reading how the economy has crashed and you are now broke, put your newspaper to good use. Since you can no longer afford paper towel, having recently been bankrupted by bad news, use that newspaper to soak up that spot where the dog peed. Newspaper can also be used as gift wrap, if you have any money left to purchase one. In an emergency, newspaper can even be used as packing insulation. Get some mice to chew the newspaper up for you.

Mousetraps are a perfect way to trap a mouse. First, get yourself a mouse. Your local pet store should have some available for sale. If you have multiple mouse traps, you will need multiple mice. Get yourself a female mouse and a male mouse. Put them in your house, spill some food on the floor and wait about a week. Now that you have lots of mice running around, it's time to setup your mouse traps. Set the mouse trap on the floor. Put some peanut butter on there and set the trap. Now wait about a week.

Contrary to popular belief, matchbooks have no relation to actual books. They are two separate items entirely. A "match book" is a collection of matches, used for starting fires. These should be kept in a safe place, like not next to a stick of dynamite or an arsonist. A "book book", on the other hand, is a collection of words, which incidentally, can also be used to start fires if you are in an emergency or are a mother who is angry about the information presented in the book.

Carpet Cleaning
Keeping your carpeting clean is a big deal. Dirty carpeting is the leading cause of heart disease and has been known to cause six different types of cancer, mostly cancer of the foot and toes. The good news is keeping your carpet clean is simple everyday maintenance. Go ahead and buy a vacuum cleaner. Now go ahead and buy a maid to run that vacuum cleaner. Phew, health problems averted!

Measuring the energy efficiency of Non-residential buildings across the EU
RICS Data Services are working with the European Commission's Directorate General for Energy (DG ENER) to maintain and update the EU Building Stock Observatory (BSO)
The purpose of the BSO is to provide a snap-shot of the energy performance of the EU building stock, by providing high-quality data from all Member states in a consistent and comparable manner. The purpose of the survey is to provide representative data on non-residential buildings across the 28 Member States of the EU to inform preparation of an energy-use profile of the existing building stock across Europe. The survey consists of 30 questions with a completion time of just 15 minutes and will capture information pertaining to your buildings: location; type; size; age and energy performance. Results from the survey will be aggregated to provide a view of the total energy performance of the non-residential built stock across individual EU Member states and by extension the EU as a whole, any data collected will not be used/reported on an individual/building basis.
To complete the survey please follow the link:
Response are expected by Friday 29th June 2018, however RICS intend to keep the survey portal open until the beginning of 2020 to ensure regular and robust data is available on an ongoing basis.
Please note that individual building data are required rather than aggregated estate and/or portfolio data, please therefore complete a separate survey for each building.
Should you have any questions regarding the survey contact RICS at email@example.com.

Squash-Buckling Adventures, Part II
Well, I cooked the squash. My roommate said it looked like a vegetable massacre in the kitchen, after I was done slicing, peeling, seeding, roasting, smashing and pureeing.
To be honest, I had some reservations about the results of all this squash. Having so many different varieties to deal with (see last post for the particulars) made me realize that squash and other gourds can be intimidating. They have this hard, seemingly impenetrable exterior, with vibrant, sometimes wild streaks and blotches. From the outside, there is no indication of the flavor and texture of what lies within. And when you slice them open, the fibrous, fleshy pulp doesn't immediately smell or look appetizing. It takes long, slow cooking to coax out the buttery, earthy flavors. But I learned you just have to jump in, roast the suckers, and hope for the best. It was quite a day and I was exhausted at the end. But I did conquer my fear of the squash unknown. Following is an overview of the results of a pie, soup, roasted seeds and mashed squash.
But first, I cooked all the squash the same way. They were sliced, seeded, and roasted with a little butter until they were tender, and the skins had begun to collapse. Once cool, I scooped out the flesh and composted the skins. All the recipes begin from this point.
Pumpkin Pie with Brown Sugar-Walnut Topping (click here for recipe)
I forgot to take a picture of this baby, but it was good. It's really gratifying to make a pie completely from scratch — homemade crust, homemade pumpkin, homemade whipped cream. The best part was the topping. The nuts gave it a savory note to combat the sweet brown sugar. At least just try the topping sometime. Yum. I substituted one cup of fresh cooked pumpkin (from the cushaw and pie pumpkin) for the one cup of canned it calls for. For the record, there is nothing wrong with using canned pumpkin. I've read it's one of the best products you can buy canned, because it's just cooked pumpkin, without any of the hassle. But if you want to use fresh, just make sure you puree the cooked flesh (for a smoother-textured pie) and use cheese cloth or a couple of paper towels to squeeze out the excess water (so the pie doesn't get soggy). Even though I used cushaw squash and a pie pumpkin, the flavor was still earthy and pumpkin-y — just like mom used to make.
Gingery Squash Soup
This was a made-up recipe, that turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. I sauteed a chopped medium onion in olive oil until the onion was translucent, then added in a few cloves of minced garlic, just until the garlic was fragrant. Then I added about 3 cups of cooked squash, 4 cups of chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of ground ginger, 1.5 tablespoons ground cumin, and one tablespoon of cayenne. Then I scooped portions into a blender, added a dash of milk, and pureed it until fairly smooth, but still with texture. Then I added it back to the pot, added salt and pepper to taste, and let it barely simmer for an hour to meld the flavors. I ended up freezing about a third of it in individual plastic baggies and have been enjoying it in single-servings for lunch. Yum.
Roasted Squash Seeds
I mixed all the seeds from the various squash together for the roasted seeds. After doing some research, I learned that the key to good seeds is getting the seeds dry enough to ensure they brown. There are several ways to accomplish this. Some people rinse them to get the slime off, then leave them out to dry overnight. Others boiled the seeds in salted water for 10 minutes to season and clean them, then dried and roasted them. Still others just rinsed and dried and roasted them. I tried the latter of the two techniques (I have no patience for overnight drying!), first tossing the cleaned seeds with a tablespoon of unsalted butter and some table salt. The seeds that were boiled in salted water first had a better flavor than those that were just roasted.
Mashed Squash with Blue Cheese
I had a little squash left over from the cushaw and the acorn squash, so I mashed it up with a little milk, salt and pepper and sprinkled it with some gorgonzola and fresh parsley. It was good, the flavors worked, but it needed some fat or heavier cream instead of the milk. If I make it again, I'll add in a little butter during the mashing.

Winner Update! The winner of the ferm LIVING birdcage print pillow is: LUNA RAVEN!
Writers block. Not total writers block, just writers block for this one post. Which is crazy because I really enjoy rounding things up from around the web for you all, so try as I might I couldn't think of a decent theme for this post. I try to keep certain posts on certain days, Monday - Color Wheel, Tuesday - Furniture Terms, Wednesday - open for random, Thursday - DIY's and the like, Friday - Roundups, and Saturday - Weekly Deals. I don't always adhere perfectly to the schedule, and this week's Pinterest Challenge certainly threw off my schedule, but I try to keep it consistent. So, as Friday kept ticking closer and closer, I still hadn't started working on today's post (real time update it's now 10:17 am on Friday), then it came to me, clocks! Yep today's round up is all about time and clocks.
Just because it's summer doesn't mean you can't have an inviting glow about your house. With all these things I've rounded up you can have the glow without the added heat, because trust me, in Texas, we don't need any extra heat. Adding a candle or lantern to a room just adds another layer of comfort and warmth, or bring votives and lanterns outside for a beautiful evening glow on your patio. By this time of the year, the fireplace industry has hit a slump due to lack of demand for heating devices, but here's the good news they start really dropping prices when summer approaches. It's kind of like buying bathing suits in the winter, or Christmas lights in the spring; you always find the best deals when things are in their off-season. Anyways I digress, instead of trying to add a glow with real wood and flame, you can add a visual glow with an electric fireplace and leave the actual heat setting off.
Catch the pun there? I must be needing a latte fix...
Since you all have been sooo wonderful to my blog, participating in my kitchen contest, commenting on things you love, telling me when my posts stink and what not, I thought I'd reward everyone with some good deals. Here's some awesome furniture sites worth checking out and listed right in this post are the coupon codes you should use along with a recommendation or two of items to check out!

Chapter 1
THE story of a nation's literature ordinarily has its beginning far back in the remoter history of that nation,
obscured by the uncertainties of an age of which no trustworthy records have been preserved. The
earliest writings of a people are usually the first efforts at literary production of a race in its childhood; and
as these compositions develop they record the intellectual and artistic growth of the race. The conditions
which attended the development of literature in America, therefore, are peculiar. At the very time when
Sir Walter Raleigh -- a type of the great and splendid men of action who made such glorious history
for England in the days of Elizabeth -- was organizing the first futile efforts to colonize the new world,
English Literature, which is the joint possession of the whole English-speaking race, was rapidly developing.
Sir Philip Sidney had written his Arcadia, first of the great prose romances, and enriched English poetry
with his sonnets; Edmund Spenser had composed The Shepherd's Calendar; Christopher Marlowe
had established the drama upon heroic lines; and Shakespeare had just entered on the first flights of
his fancy. When, in 1606, King James granted to a company of London merchants the first charter of
Virginia, Sidney and Spenser and Marlowe were dead, Shakespeare had produced some of his greatest
plays, the name of Ben Jonson, along with other notable names, had been added to the list of our great
dramatists, and the philosopher, Francis Bacon, had published the first of his essays. These are the
familiar names which represent the climax of literary achievement in the Elizabethan age; and this brilliant
epoch had reached its full height when the first permanent English settlement in America was made at
Jamestown in 1607. On New Year's day, the little fleet commanded by Captain Newport sailed forth on
its venturesome and romantic enterprise, the significance of which was not altogether unsuspected by
those who saw it depart. Michael Drayton, one of the most popular poets of his day, later poet laureate
of the kingdom, sang in quaint, prophetic verses a cheery farewell: --
"You brave heroic minds,Worthy your country's name, That honor still pursue, Go and subdue,Whilst loitering
hindsLurk here at home with shame."And in regions farre,Such heroes bring ye forth As those from whom
we came; And plant our nameUnder that starNot known unto our north."And as there plenty growsOf
laurel everywhere, Apollo's sacred tree, You it may see,A poet's browsTo crown, that may sing there."
This little band of adventurers "in regions farre" disembarked from the ships Discovery, Good Speed, and
Susan Constant upon the site of a town yet to be built, fifty miles inland, on the shore of a stream as
yet unexplored, in the heart of a vast green wilderness the home of savage tribes who were none too
friendly. It was hardly to be expected that the ripe seeds of literary culture should be found in such a
company, or should germinate under such conditions in any notable luxuriance. The surprising fact,
however, is that in this group of gentlemen adventurers there was one man of some literary craft, who,
while leading the most strenuous life of all, efficiently protecting and heartening his less courageous
comrades in all manner of perilous experiences, compiled and wrote with much literary skill the picturesque
chronicles of the settlement.
Captain John Smith, the mainstay of the Jamestown colony in the critical period of its early existence,
was a true soldier of fortune, venturesome, resolute, self-reliant, resourceful; withal a man of great good
sense, and with the grasp on circumstances which belongs to the man of power. His life since leaving
his home on a Lincolnshire farm at sixteen years of age, had been replete with romantic adventure. He
had been a soldier in the French army and had served in that of Holland. He had wandered through
Italy and Greece into the countries of eastern Europe, and had lived for a year in Turkey and Tartary.

Offaly hold on to see off Wexford
Offaly advanced to the semi-final of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship with a win over Wexford but not before they gave their supporters some very nervous moments in O'Connor Park.
Leinster Senior HC Quarter-Final
Offaly 2-12
Wexford 1-13
Leading by 2-12 to 0-9 with 20 minutes to go, playing with the wind and playing the better hurling, Offaly should have cruised to victory but not for the first time they allowed Wexford back into a game.
Offaly didn't add to their total for the remainder of the game while Wexford clawed their way back into contention.
A goal from a 21 metre free from Jack Guiney was a vital score in the comeback and he nearly repeated the trick in injury-time but his well struck shot was blocked on the line.
Offaly fans were on the edge of their seat right to the end but thankfully only two minutes of injury-time was played (there would have been no complaints if there had been five) as the home side held on for the win.
