HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — A new web survey by AdamEve.com delved into the amount of time Americans admit spending viewing adult materials.
The survey was conducted by an independent third party company that canvassed more than 1,000 American adults age 18 and up to study sexual preferences and practices.
Adam & Eve said that while a significant number (33 percent) of American adults say they "never" view adult content and 20 percent say they only partake once or twice a year or less, 22 percent say they view it once or twice a month and 16 percent admit they enjoy it once or twice a week.
In addition, 6 percent of Americans polled said they view adult materials daily, 2 percent said they utilize it more than once a day, and 2 percent refused to answer.
When the same question was asked to Adam & Eve's Facebook followers, 53 percent said they viewed adult content every day. Thirty-two percent said they enjoy viewing the material once or twice a week, 5 percent chose more than once a day, 3 percent said they utilize it once or twice a month, and 3 percent said once or twice a year.
Adam & Eve said 4 percent of its Facebook followers said they never view explicit materials.
"We're all visual creatures and utilizing erotic movies can be a great way to explore our sexualities individually and as couples," said Dr. Kat Van Kirk, Adam & Eve's resident sex expert. "It can be a fantastic way to break the monotony in a relationship and even learn a few new tricks. Plus there are many full length DVD movies that have stellar production values, plot lines and acting, which can have a wider appeal to a female audience."
Adam & Eve director of marketing Chad Davis agreed.
"Adam & Eve sells millions of adult DVDs each year, as well as adult toys and novelties. Someone is definitely enjoying the materials we provide, even with the amount of free content available online," Davis said.

My point is,,If you ask a question and don't expect a "truthful" answer,,,then whats the point??>>>Dan
Don't take the "truthfully" thing to heart. Around here, ... it's just an expression.
It's getting crowded out there...
Personally, I think it's all a matter of mindset. If you can keep an open mind and remain willing to be flexible - RVing can still be a ball. If you're one of those folks who is a "fault finder" (parks are too cramped, neighbors are too _____ (noisy, nosy, untidy, disrespectful of "our" site boundaries - pick your favorite or add your own "issue"), traffic is too heavy, drivers around us drive too fast, too slow, etc. - and then dwell on any / every little thing that annoys you - RVing will certainly become less enjoyable. I'll venture to add that if you're one of those folks - your life is already and will remain miserable no matter how you choose to fill your days - but that would probably be off topic.
Same in our olde country. One time, when I was under oath in a court witness box and the prosecutor asked me a question, I replied "to be honest ...". The strange look from the prosecutor and the judge made me realize what I'd just said

One of the reasons for the decline of Russian opposition these days is that it's hard to look at what Russia is doing and still say it's on the road to ruin. Of course if one actually lives in Russia and travels about, you'd see the same kind of decay you could see a few years ago, but most people don't see that. What they see is Russian troops clad in their latest gear in the Crimea, and the territorial expansion of Russia, which may end up adding Eastern Ukraine as its latest neglected backwater region. All the hysteria of a new Cold War is once again fueling the delusion that Russia is this rising power which will once again oppose the West as the Soviet Union did. I'm terribly sorry, but this is bullshit, and this recent story about Lithuania getting Gazprom to slash its prices is proof.
By itself it might not mean much, but it is indicative of a much larger problem facing Russia as various countries find ways to free themselves from energy dependency and competition for oil and gas rises. This is also why the new Cold War claims are extremely foolish. Yes, Russia is acting like a superpower and it may seem like this will lead to a new Cold War, but Russia is not the Soviet Union and that Cold War is likely to be short, predictable, and bad for the peoples of Russia.
What the Russian intelligentsia totally miss in their efforts to rework the Soviet Union into a second Russian empire, is the fact that the Soviet Union's early successes against the worst odds were due to its internationalist, socialist ideology, something totally rejected by the typical pro-Kremlin ideologue these days. The Bolsheviks were a very small party who owed their success to their internal discipline and expertly crafted revolutionary theory and practice. Though not always successful, they reached out to oppressed peoples of the empire and if they could not secure their support, they could usually at least ensure that they would not support the Whites who wanted to restore imperial domination of their territories. What is more, those were the days of a massive, militant international workers movement, and that movement played a major role in preventing the remaining imperial powers from supporting the White movement during the civil war. During the Seattle general strike of 1919, dockworkers refused to load ships destined for Vladivostok to support the Whites. Similar strikes took place in Britain and France, forcing those countries to pull their intervention forces out as well.
The survival of the Soviet Union struck fear into the hearts of ruling classes everywhere. They would have liked to invade and destroy the country, but they realized that they'd have to rely on the workers in doing so, and the working class' sympathy was either with the USSR, or at least dead set against destroying it. During the interwar period, some Western politicians in Britain and France though it might be a lovely idea to encourage Adolf Hitler to expand eastward, turning Germany into a bulwark against Bolshevism which would inevitably get in a bloody conflict with its ideologically opposed neighbor thereafter. Of course that didn't pan out too well.
The Soviet Union also enjoyed widespread popularity after the Second World War, largely for its role in defeating European fascism. This was bolstered by the country's support for anti-colonial movements. While the USSR degenerated ideologically as the decades wore on, it still remained a symbol of anti-colonialism as it freely funded and supported people's liberation movements. Brave North Vietnam was juxtaposed with a corrupt, failing South Vietnam which was run by people totally out of touch with the masses and subservient to foreign governments. Angola, with Soviet weapons and Cuban assistance, struck a massive blow at apartheid by defeating the South African Republic in battle. Anti-colonialism and anti-racism were inextricably linked to the Soviet Union and the teeth-gnashing rants of right wing extremists from the Cold War era confirm this. In this case it makes no difference as to the realities of the Soviet regime or whether it eventually became a sort of empire itself. What matters is how it was perceived and the friendly attitudes it could count on abroad, because this was serious diplomatic capital.
Russia, on the other hand, does not have this. Russia really has little to "sell" besides oil and gas, two things it will not be able to rely on forever. There is a huge difference between the people who "support" Russia from abroad today and those who supported the USSR back in the interwar period. In those days, you had masses of organized people who actually wanted to overthrow their own oppressors and adopt a form of the Soviet system. These days support for Russia is rarely anything beyond the old "enemy of my enemy" principle, sometimes coupled with some bizarre romantic ideas about the country. The kind of ideology promoted by the Kremlin and its media is extremely caustic and negative, which is unfortunately because in the big cities you often see the same vibrant, casual, open-minded social life that you might see in any European city. In the political arena, however, it's all authoritarianism, obscurantism, and demands that the Russian people learn to submit and obey. In politics you can pretty much choose any side so long as it is right wing and reactionary. If some of these groups are against Putin, it is only because they see him as not authoritarian enough, and of course Russians need a strong leader to run their lives for them. While RT can easily find left-wing intellectuals to comment about the junta in Kyiv, few among them have any illusions that Russia is holding aloft the banner of anti-fascism. Many of those militants in Ukraine who express solidarity with Russia or a desire to join Russia clearly espouse fascist views. As I've said before, the program of Ukrainian extremist parties like Svoboda or Praviy Sektor would be quite popular among these people or many people in Russia if one simply changes the text relating to Ukraine and Ukrainians to references to Russia.
This also means that a lot of Russia's most enthusiastic support from outside the country tends to come from right-wing social losers who can't cope in their own society and thus look to Russia as a sort of promised land, one in which they might actually, some day, possibly get laid. The problem with attracting social rejects from the West, is that they aren't good for much in propaganda combat. Typically most of their countrymen readily grasp that these are in fact bitter losers, and therefore they aren't convinced by their arguments. What you want in a propaganda war are figures who are successful or at least very talented and articulate. The Soviet Union, for example, could count on support from Paul Robeson. What is more, in Robeson's day, the Soviet Union sincerely believed and promoted its internationalist ideology. There were a few African Americans who actually settled in the USSR and their descendants actually live in Russia today. Obviously attitudes changed dramatically over the decades and of course after the fall of the USSR, but in Soviet times it was possible for foreigners to live in the USSR and actually be treated as though they were a part of it. Today that's quite different, so American Mr. "My Great-Great-Grandfather-was-half-Czech-or-maybe-Polish-ergo-I-am-Slavic-ergo-Russian" moves to Russia and decides to take up the cause of Russia in the "information war," he's never really respected by his nationalist "comrades." They are people who routinely preach the importance of blood and your native land, the land where you were born. They have nothing but the deepest contempt for "traitors" of any kind. So our hypothetical American can tell us all about how he's "assimilated" and "practically Russian," but deep down his new friends see him as a traitor without any roots, good only for propaganda value. Ultimately, they are not embraced by their own countrymen back home, nor their new Russian masters. Dance, American traitor monkey! Dance!
What Russia needs is a diverse spectrum of successful people, both financially and socially, moving to Russia or spending time there. And I'm sorry but Stay Puft Marshmellow Man's stunt double, Gerard Depardieu, just doesn't cut it. It shouldn't just be washed-up celebrities and people with shit-tons of cash who can afford to live like Russian millionaires, i.e. totally isolated from the people. You want a thriving expat community like Prague, or what the British have got going in Costa Del Sol. That allows for cultural exchange, and not the typical government-approved propaganda which always calls to mind the image of some bearded man hysterically stamping his feet and bellowing, "Traditional values! Patriotism! Obey! Strong leader! Bleaaaaargh!!" This kind of shit has been the norm in Russia for over twenty years now, and not only is it not working out, but it's also not fooling anyone who actually lives in Russia. When people around the world see normal people routinely visiting Russia and spending time there, they are more likely to pay attention when these people say positive things about Russia. Unfortunately this situation does not currently exist, or at least most of us normies aren't visible in the Russian media.
Russia also has an economic disadvantage that distinguishes it from the USSR. Whereas in the USSR, particularly in the Stalin era, a lack of economic parity with the other industrial powers could be explained away by the backwardness from which the country started out. The economic achievements in the Soviet era may not seem like much to us today, but you have to realize that in the USSR you had engineers and scientists whose own parents were raised in dirt-floor huts. Deficiencies after the war could be explained by the war itself. Of course by the 70's and 80's the difference between the standards of living in the USSR and European states had few excuses left. Looking to more recent history, Russia suffered a major embarrassment over the Euromaidan movement, because when it initially appeared Russian propagandists could do little but scream about gay people. What could they offer Ukraine? Gas. The problem is that you have Ukrainians who have traveled through Europe and the US, perhaps even China, and then they also have seen Russia as well. Obviously the idea that an association agreement with the European Union would turn Ukraine into Germany is simply ridiculous, but at the very least it makes sense; it's coherent. Say it again if you don't believe me. What does Russia have to offer Ukraine? Gas. Hmmm…Isn't that the same shit Russia's been giving Ukraine for the past twenty years, with no measurable improvement in the country. Therefore we see how Russia couldn't even woo it's own "brother nation" because it has nothing to offer.
So with no positive ideology to garner international support and no real allies other than countries which either have no choice like Belarus or which have a beef with the US like Venezuela, Russia isn't holding even half the diplomatic capital the USSR had. What they have is oil and gas, and that's not going to be much leverage in the near future. This is the main problem with the Russian government, not that it's some kind of "totalitarian" dictatorship with its foot on everyone's neck, but rather that it is squandering the one thing which could totally transform Russia if properly invested. This is a goose that will stop laying its golden eggs one day, and unfortunately most of those eggs are going into the pockets of a few powerful individuals. This oil and gas wealth needs to be used properly to prepare the country for that time when it can no longer depend on those resources, and that time appears to be fast approaching.
What can explain the ridiculous overreaching of the Kremlin today? My biggest fear is that the government, and perhaps Putin, the "smartest man in the room", have come to believe their own propaganda. They may have convinced themselves that they have actually achieved the same state as the Soviet Union, obviously discarding the crucial ideological factor. All this means is that if there is to be another Cold War, it's going to be shorter than the last one and it will once again end badly for Russia. It basically amounts to fighting the last losing war with the same strategy, yet with none of the advantages the USSR possessed. They're going up against veteran diplomats and intelligence services who have already played this game before, or they can read the works of those who did. While it's obvious that economic investment in Russia has severely hobbled and embarrassed the West in this fight, they've got the economic foundation to play the long game, Russia does not. The best way for Putin to turn this around is to stop listening to pseudo-intellectual hacks who got their jobs due to nepotism. Vladimir, if you're reading this, stop listening to their sweet lies and embrace the bitter truth. Promoting right-wing populism is easy, and might seem effective, but when everything goes to shit, you want the populace to be full of progressive-minded people, with values like compassion, tolerance, etc. You especially want those values to be widespread if there's a chance you lose power to them one day. Moreover, that kind of society is attractive to the world, and presents a positive image. The more Russia tries to "kill the world with kindness", the more absurd the US and Europe will look for hysterically picking on her. Time is running short, so it might be a good idea to consider what Russia has going for it other than gas and oil.

Passing of Conal Hugh Keeney, Letterkenny
A stalwart from the business and entertainment community of old, Conal Hugh Keeney, has passed away in Letterkenny.
The late Mr. Keeney, who died peacefully at the age of 94 in Letterkenny General Hospital on Tuesday, was involved for many years along with his brothers in the running of the popular Fiesta Ballroom, a weekly haunt for hundreds of dance and music hungry patrons. In addition he helped run the Denver Ballroom in Rathmullan.
He also worked for H.B., selling ice cream, and in his day showed films the length and breadth of the county, images on screens that enthralled the local communities and provided hours of entertainment for those who might not otherwise have had an opportunity to see the stars of the era on celluloid.
A native of Ardara, the late Mr. Keeney was predeceased by his brothers, Charlie Joe, Leo and Phonsie, and sisters, Annie Kathleen and Suzanna.
The last of his generation, he is survived by his wife, Margaret (nee McAteer), sons Gerard (Gus), Castlereagh; Kieran, Sligo; Malachy and Leo, both Port Road; Christopher, Doon Glebe, New Mills; daughters, Pasqueline Blake, Stoney Arch, New Line Road; Pauline Doherty, Listillion; Siobhan Melvin, Meedarragh Park; daughters-in-law, Maria, Catriona, Sarah and Ann; sons-in-law, Pascal, Felix and Gearoid; grandchildren, great-grand children, other relatives, neighbours and friends to whom sincerest sympathy is extended.
His remains were being waked at his home at Port Road. Removal from there took place yesterday evening.
His funeral mass was held today at 11am after which he was laid to rest in Rathmullan cemetery.

Code for San Francisco Site Relaunch
Published on by Jesse Szwedko
If you are reading this post on codeforsanfrancisco.org, you may have noticed that it looks a bit different than it has for the past two years. For the curious, this post explains why and how we've migrated from the brigade-centric content management system (CMS), BrigadeHub, back to a static site generator, Jekyll hosted, for now, on Github Pages.
The end of an era
With BrigadeHub being retired late last year, we needed to find a path forward for hosting our site that would allow us to continue to make the changes we wanted to better convey to the world who we are and what we do. Our primary desires were to:
- Create additional static content describing the organization
- Create additional content for members such as an index of resources
- Have more control over the way events are displayed to make content, agendas and presentations, from each more discoverable
- Create an index for our newly formed open leadership councils
But we didn't want to lose the raison d'être of BrigadeHub, namely, allowing non-technical users to edit content easily.
The path forward
Starting with our first leadership council in October, it was decided that we would look at the current state of static site generators and headless CMSs to see if they could fit our needs. We felt that the static site generators would give us a simple to maintain architucture and that the proliferation of headless CMSs would allow us to maintain an interface for allowing non-technical users to help keep content on the site up-to-date.
We defined our goals as:
- Should be editable by non-technical users
- Should be simple in architecture to allow developers coming to the project to quickly contribute
- Should be extensible to allow things like the project matching app to be overlaid
- Should be open-source and free or cheap
We started by evaluating static site generators, eventually settling on Jekyll as:
- This is what we previously used for codeforsanfrancisco.org
- It is the one of the most popular static site generators meaning it has a well developed ecosystem and is a common target for headless CMSs
In advance of our February project demo night we officially launched the beta of the site to start collecting feedback.
Next steps
Now that we have a live beta of the website, our next steps are:
- collecting ideas and issues
- work with the UX research group to do some user research and ensure the site is meeting our organizational and member goals
- evaluating headless CMSs to identify which will best suit our goal of allowing non-technical users to edit content
Getting involved
Excited about this path forward and want to contribute? Or do you have questions, feedback or concerns? Drop into #website on our Slack (if you aren't on Slack, you can join via c4sf.me/slack) or drop us a line at email@example.com.
If you want to be involved in the organization of the brigade and decisions like this? Drop by our next monthly open leadership councils on February 21st or join us in #brigade on Slack.
Special thanks
I want to give special thanks to Oz Haven for his tireless efforts building and project managing BrigadeHub. We would not be here today without his vision for expanding the the ability for brigade members to contribute and curate content on our site. While BrigadeHub has been retired, this vision will carry on through our work.
Also thank you to Jason Lally for heavily contributing to this discussion and for the migration of projects to the new site.
Lastly, thank you to ChiHackNight for providing the initial template and site design which we shamelessly replicated.

As a parent it is our duty to teach our children right from wrong and instill in them our values with the aim of them having a fulfilling life.
However I never thought that my daughters would be the ones doing the teaching.
Being a mother has taught me more about life than I expected.
Love comes is many forms (the love of parent, a sibling, of a friend and of a spouse etc) but nothing prepared me for the love that my daughters gave me or the love that I felt for them.
The term "unconditional love" is something I never quite understood until I became a mother. The love I have for my kids is one without conditions, I simply love them for who they are, the fact that the are my children is sufficient. As for the kids, that is the first kind of love that they experience, the love of their parents.
Seeing how fast my children are growing up, I can't believe Hadeel is going to be 11 in Sept ma sha Allah and Dania is 8 1/2 makes me realize that every moment I spend with them is to be enjoyed. In a split second our lives can change forever, might as well enjoy the moments we have together because who knows how long we have each other for.
Beautiful moments were captured by Rosie Gabrielle Photography
My daughters taught me that there is no harm in being silly sometimes and having a little fun. Who says that adults cant have fun! I learned to let go of my inner child who simply wants to make silly faces or noises and join my kids in the fun!
It is common knowledge that children learn a lot from their parents to the extent that their personalities and lifestyle is highly affected by what they are exposed to as children. Knowing that I bare the responsibilities of shaping my childrens' future has made me want to become a better parent and a better person.
No matter what hardships I may face in life, having my children has made me realize how blessed I am to be a parent. I am who I am today because of them, alhamdulilah. The fact of the matter is that someone, somewhere is wishing for what you have. Our lives might not be perfect but the truth of the matter is life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful!

EL wire is a little tricky to work with. It is made of three wires, one large middle wire and two very thin 'corona' wires. In the closeup above, you can see the two thin wires wrapped around the core. These two sets of wires are the leads we must solder to. But first, we have to get to them!
You'll need the following tools and items:
- Wire strippers with a 20 AWG or 18 AWG slot
- Wire cutters (these can be part of the wire strippers)
- Soldering iron
- Solder
- Third hand tool
- Copper tape
- Heat shrink in 1/4" and 1/8" diameter, 1:2 or 1:3
- Wire to solder the EL to
- Heat shrinker, Heat gun, hair dryer, lighter, you can also just use the edge of your soldering iron
- Utility knife, hobby knife (x-acto), box-cutter, razor blade, etc
That's it! You're now ready to plug the El wire strand into an inverter.

Summer Beauty Trends You Must Check Out
Summer is busy frying us but it is impossible that we girls can forget about staying chic. Beauty trends keep changing throughout the year but some of them are timeless too. Summer is that time of the year when we do not want heavy layers of makeup and the new trends regarding makeup and beauty indicate just that. Here are the latest Summer Beauty Trends You Must Check Out-
Natural Is The Word
Natural look is not about a no-makeup look anymore. It means going makeup-free. You might have seen this in fashion magazines and on the ramps as well. An absolute bare face is the way to go. If you want to follow the trend but are not very comfortable about showcasing your spots then wear only concealer. No kohl and no lip color.
Eye Trends
Besides going au naturel you can try some other makeup looks that are going to be trendy. Pastel eye makeup is making its presence felt. Purple is the new favorite for eye makeup. You can try smoky eyes in shades like lavender and lilac.
For eyeliners, black is back and you can wear it in any style you like.
Lip Trends
The lovers of popping lips need not worry as red lips are quite hot this summer. Besides true reds, think red with the hues of pink or orange. Berry lips are In. You can wear red lips with a stain like effect or smudge them a little.
Hair Trends
The best thing about new hair trends is that they are simple and very everyday kind. A low ponytail which is one of the most common hairstyles is super trendy for summers. The slightly off-centre parting is really fashionable as it gives an easy going vibe. If you like to experiment with your hair, try woodstock curls. These are loose romantic curls which look pretty. Crimped hair is also coming back in trend.
And if you are too busy for these, just wash your hair and step out to flaunt the natural beauty of your hair.
Gold and silver are going to be the metal of choice this season. Think accessories and think of these colors. Whether you want flash tattoos or something to adorn hair, these basic metallic hues are the way to go.
What are your favorite Summer Beauty Trends?

The World is Our Playground
An awesome way to encourage the universe to dance abundance into our lives is to dream! And while we're dreaming, let's dream big!
The universe just wants us to play! If we get excited about playing, it will gladly give us the money to go, do and be! It wants to see what kind of adventures we will choose.
So go ahead and dream! What would you love to do? Where would you love to go? What would you like to create?
Use the Internet to explore and fuel your imagination. And then, let it run wild! The whole point is to get your excited, fun-loving juices flowing! It is those very juices that tell the universe 'this one would be exciting to invest in! It'll be such fun to see what he/she will do!'
The point isn't to wait for a specific 'thing' to manifest. The point is to gain access to the higher vibrations that will let you access the opportunities that feel better to your body. You aren't really looking for those specific things, anyway. You want to feel the way you think those things will make you feel.
You can feel that way, right now! Your body doesn't see any difference between getting excited about the dreams you are having, and actually having those dreams come true!
And the more time you spend in that excited, delighted space, the more familiar your system gets with that energy. And then, it begins to rewrite your DNA, and your experiences begin to match that higher vibrational energy.
You will literally be catapulting yourself into the Heaven on Earth that is already here!

Waiting On…Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy
"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine!
This week I'm waiting on…
Title Side Effects May Vary
Author Julie Murphy
Pages 304 Pages
Genre Young Adult, Contemporary, Realistic Fiction, Romance
Publisher HarperCollins, Balzer + Bray
To Be Published March 18th, 2014
Find It On Goodreads
What if you'd been living your life as if you were dying – only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs — however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, whom she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her arch nemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). But just when Alice's scores are settled, she goes into remission.
Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she's said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But has she done irreparable damage to the people around her, and to the one person who matters most?
Julie Murphy's Side Effects May Vary is a fearless and moving tour de force about love, life, and facing your own mortality.
I'll admit that I was initially skeptical when I first heard about this book. While the contemporary genre is by far my favourite, years spent reading the soul-crushing novels of Lurlene McDaniel as an adolescent, most of which centred around cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, have left me a little wary when I encounter the word 'leukemia' in a book's synopsis. But when Jessi Kirby, author of Moonglass, In Honor and Golden, and coincidentally one of my favourite authors of all time, recommended Side Effects May Vary (1, 2) in glowing, no uncertain terms, I knew I had to experience it for myself. I've always been drawn to stories which revolve around characters coming to terms with their own mortality (Six Feet Under comes immediately to mind) and I think this story will inspire a lot of reflection on what I would do if I learned I only had a certain amount of time left on this earth. Despite my initial reservations, this 2014 debut is at the very top of my to-be-read list!
Thankfully, Side Effects May Vary was recently made available on Edelweiss, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to download an advance reader copy. While the novel isn't set to be released until March, I don't know how long I'll be able to wait until I read it, although the review won't be posted until closer to the book's publication date. It sounds too amazing for words and like something that's right up my alley!

Oh man… You are so bad for my reading schedule!! I was avoiding this book because it just didn't scream "read me" at me, but to know that Jessi Kirby recommends it is a huge deal… I've only read Golden, but I've heard really good things about both Moonglass and In Honor… Dang it! I'm going to have to take a serious look at my reading schedule to see if I can make room for this one! =S Thanks a lot, Jen… 😉

I'm still on the fence about this one. It sounds and looks good, and it seems like it may be a lighter take on a morbid subject, but I'm still wary it might make me cry. And since 2013 had some soul-crushing, heart-wrenching books for me, I'm scared of reading them!

JEN!! I'm SO SO excited for this one as well! I think I might also have to read this one this month as well, since I just. Cannot. Wait! Thank goodness you got auto-approved recently. 😉 Wonderful pick!

That sounds interesting =)
It reminds me of a German book in which the main character wants to commit suicide and writes letters to everyone she knows telling them what she really thinks about them. But then she is found and has to deal with the situation…
I got to read an early copy of this one last year & after I finished, I felt the need to tell EVERYONE to put it on their TBR lists for 2014. Yes, it's a tough emotional subject, but Julie gives it an honest spin with humor and wit. Her writing is beautiful and so easy to get lost in. It's not "just another cancer book" either. The story is about a girl, a very cynical girl I might add, who thinks this is it, the end of her road. So she does things that have some major consequences, but she doesn't care because she believes she won't be there for the aftermath. But then… life has a funny way of turning the tables on her. I ADORED Harvey so, so much. I can't wait for you to meet him!! Anyway.. let me know when you start this one 🙂 I highly recommend reading it sooner, rather than later.

My W…W…W…
Waiting on the Side Effects sounds incredibly good, despite my initial skepticism towards the leukemia-centered plot. It sounds like a lighter take on an otherwise morbid tale and the Jessi Kirby recommendation doesn't hurt either (Loved, loved Golden). Totally adding this to my TBR list!

This wasn't really on my radar until recently, with everyone talking about it coming up on Edelweiss, but now I can't wait to read it. I'm always a bit wary about books that tackle life-threatening illness like cancer, but after reading The Fault in Our Stars which focused more on life than death, I'm on the lookout for lighter takes on the topic, that might avoid the emotional manipulation of heavier books. I'll look forward to your review, Jen! Congratulations on getting an ARC!

I was a little hesitant on this one, but if you're saying that you're looking forward to it, and Jessi Kirby said it was good. THEN I NEED IT.
Hope you end up enjoying it! (:

tired of the critics, tired of the online photographer
What got me started writing this piece was this sentence written by Mike Johnston in the post:
Some samples here (all the blown highlights appear to be the photographer's style, not evidence of some technical problem). emphasis mineWhen I read that sentence, it was as if a switch toggled in my mind. I'd read one off-handed criticism too many, and I decided to do something about it: criticise the critic, in this case Mike Johnston.
You're probably thinking that with all the problems in this world, such as Syria and the horrific surveillance state created by the NSA, that an apparently minor criticism made by a retired editor running a so-called "high-concept" photography blog shouldn't be that big an issue. In the grand scheme of things you're right. But this was the last straw as far as such off-handed "artistic" calls made by many in the photographic blog-o-sphere. It's been a steady rain over the years, and when someone of Mike Johnston's "stature" makes a comment such as this then Mike needs to be called out on it.
This is the kind of low comment (and worse) I've seen far too many times in the forums on DPreview and 43rumors, to name but two (and the worst of the lot). This is not the kind of critique I would have expected from Mike Johnston. I took the time to read Mullens' review and to really look at Mullen's photos that accompanied the review, individually and together. They are in my opinion excellent photos that formed a nice simple story arc, from his travels around Tokyo, to his trip back home and the final photo of his children racing to greet him. They might not win any specific awards, and certainly not Mr. Johnston's approval, but they are non-the-less excellent photography, "blown highlights" and all.
I then took the time to check out Keven Mullens' wedding photography and came to appreciate his style even further. Not only will you see more blown highlights, you'll see blown highlight's dark evil twin, blocked-up shadows. And yet, if you look at the central subject of every photo you'll see them well exposed, in focus, and full of life, telling an interesting and at times compelling story. What's most important, the subject is the subject, such that so-called blown highlights (which might also be called high-key) or blocked shadows (which might also be called low-key) are not distracting but add to the story the photograph is telling.
Over the last seven years, since my first "serious" digital camera, the Olympus E-300, my tastes, technique, and understanding have slowly devolved to the point where I no longer worship at the feet of the false gods of technique: ultra-high sharpness, ultra image quality, and bokeh. I've gone back to what I learned in art school back in the 1970s.
I learned in two years of art school that technique is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Technique can be all over the map; art and artistic creativity is a joyfully messy and wonderfully imprecise process that produces powerful Art with a capital 'A' if you let it. If all you can do is critique the image quality of a photograph (and questionable critiquing at that) then you've missed the whole point of photography, and that's the artful process of creating a momentary story in an image. And if you miss that you wind up killing any and all creative enjoyment and the joy of sharing your creativity.

Main Avenues for Foreign Workers Moving to the U.S.
Henry Goldbeck, President of global recruitment firm, Goldbeck Recruiting, speaks with Rick Hepp, Labor and Employment Attorney at Benesch Law, regarding foreign employees' visa applications and challenges.
Henry: If a Canadian citizen want to get a job in the U.S., what do they have to do and how difficult is it?
Rick: The first thing that I would say is that there is under NAFTA a very special relationship between the U.S. and Canada, and Mexico as well.
Under the TN Visa of NAFTA, it is a very easy process if the applicant qualifies and the reason that NAFTA is so beneficial is that even though the applicant cannot have the intent to move to the U.S. full-time, they get a visa for 3 years and they can renew it indefinitely. So, as long as they say that they plan to move back to Canada one day and can prove that intent, then you can continue to live in the U.S. so long as you have a job.
I would say the one thing about a TN Visa, and this qualifies for most or various visa types offered by the United States, is that you cannot be self-employed as a TN. You need to secure a job, you need to be able to provide the border agent with proof through a job offer letter. There are a fairly broad number of professional categories that qualify for a TN Visa and most require a bachelor degree; there are some occupations, for instance consulting management, where you can have 5 years of experience in lieu of. The categories are General, Medical, Scientist and Teacher.
It's kind of an interesting mix… there are a wide variety of options available for Canadians who do want to move to the United States as long as they secure employment, they qualify with the correct degree, and the job opening qualifies under the TN Visa status.
And the other reason I think this is a great avenue for Canadians is that you don't have to do much; it's a fairly simple application that you take to for example, Pearson International airport or wherever there's a border crossing and you can apply instantly. You should learn right there whether you are going to get the visa or not which is the opposite of nearly every other visa that's out there.
Henry: Do you have to have applied ahead of time or can you show up and your first application be at the border?
Rick: Correct. I wouldn't want to order the tickets on the airplane first. I'd go get the visa, and then order my tickets.
Henry: What is the next most common option outside of a NAFTA TN Visa?
Rick: Your next best option is to see if you qualify for an H-1B Visa which is for specialty occupations. H-1Bs are a little more difficult than a TN in that you have to have a bachelor degree or greater, and that bachelor degree has to be more or less synonymous with the profession that you are applying to work in. Whatever your degree is, say you are a chemist, you qualify to become a chemist, and that's a specialty occupation; therefore, you would be able to get a H-1B Visa.
Sales reps may be more difficult but if you are selling chemicals, for instance, and the job requires a chemist degree, then you can show that it's a specialty occupation because you are selling certain types of chemicals and have to have that background. This is a little more persuasive and I don't think I would have a problem applying for an H-1B Visa in this case.
Henry: We often have Canadian clients with sales representatives based in Canada but selling in the U.S. What are the rules surrounding this scenario?
Rick: One of the things to keep in mind is that if you work for a Canadian company and you are a sales rep wanting to sell into the U.S., and your product is manufactured in Canada or outside the U.S., you can come into the U.S. to do these sales calls using a B-1 Visitor Visa. It's fully permissible.
On a Business Visitor Visa, you are permitted to engage in commercial transactions such as negotiating contracts or consulting with clients, or consulting with your business associates. You simply cannot do any gainful employment type work. You cannot take away work from U.S. citizens or those who are in the United States. But you are allowed to enter into contracts which is not quite work. You are allowed to go to conventions. If you make a sale, for example, your company manufactures equipment in Canada and the sales rep comes down to make a sale, the Canadian company can send a supervisor to help supervise the installation of that equipment and help train the U.S. workers on how to operate the equipment under the B-1 Visa. They cannot, however, do the installation themselves.
The B-1 Visa option is a little bit narrow and you cannot actually do real work but it gives Canadian companies a great opportunity to expand their businesses into the U.S. at least.
Henry: But can you cross the border and start knocking on doors and making sales calls…. If I am based in Vancouver and my company says "let's go get some company accounts in Seattle" can I cross the border and start knocking on doors and asking or developing business.
Rick: Yes, it's totally permissible. You are allowed to sell things as long as the product will be completed in a foreign country and the money from the sale will go to your Canadian employer or somewhere overseas.
Henry: And what is process for getting the visa?
Rick: It's fairly easy. Most the time, you show up at the border, tell them what you are doing, and they will just let you through. For Canadians, you wouldn't have to apply ahead of time.
For other countries, you would apply … but it's also not that onerous.
Henry: What if you have a proprietary workshop, like a business sales training that you do in Canada, that you've developed in Canada, and you want to advertise in San Francisco and fly down and give a seminar to paid participants or companies in San Francisco or the U.S. Is that possible under the B-1 visa or is that different?
Rick: I think that's work. I would qualify that as work because you are getting paid to perform work in the United States. You are being paid a fee to appear. I don't think that's quite the same thing. If you were not getting paid, I think it would be ok.
Henry: And if a Canadian company opened a branch, if I opened a branch for Goldbeck Recruiting in Cleveland, could I transfer myself down there or one of my employees down there to work in the office or do I have to hire only American citizens?
Rick: Under the L-1 Visa, you are allowed to be a foreign company and get a visa for a manager or an executive to open a new office in the United States. There's a couple of things to keep in mind: the foreign company has to have a physical address, you have to be able to show that you have a lease or type of facility where business is being conducted, and that you are going to be developing legitimate business operations with the individuals that you have transferred. You need to show that there's intent that the U.S. operation would be able to support that executive or manager within a year. It needs to have some real revenue after the first year so that you can extend that L Visa even further.
Henry: Basically, you have to justify that this isn't just a way to place somebody in the U.S. … you have to show that it will have a legitimate revenue, business purpose office, etc.?
Rick: Right! And the person you are sending down has to have been employed by the Canadian parent company for at least a year in the last 3 years. There are certain other things that you have to qualify but if the intent is to open an office, I am sure you would be able to find someone who qualifies for that.
Henry: What are the restrictions or difficulties in hiring an American citizen in the U.S. to work for a foreign company?
Rick: I don't think there are many restrictions. You could hire an independent contractor and if you wanted to do it that way, you'd enter into a service agreement and pay the independent contractor whatever the fee is that you and the contractor had negotiated, and the contractor would have responsibility for paying any of the wage tax that he/she may owe.
Henry: What are the most common scenarios that you are working on for your corporate clients in terms of immigration issues for their employees?
Rick: I think we have talked about the three most likely suspects which are the TN, given that we are in the U.S. and have this special relationship with Canada and Mexico. Our first inquiry is who do we want to hire and which nationality. If the employee or first applicant is from Canada or Mexico, we first see if they qualify for the TN Visa and if they cannot, then it becomes more difficult.
The L-1 Visa is a much better avenue if you are looking to hire executives and managers, and to a certain extent you can also hire employees who have a specialized knowledge. Essentially, it means that the person you are hiring is not a manager but is the cream of the crop in their trade. In all of the L visas, you have to be able to show that the U.S. company has a relationship with the foreign company and that they are owned by a parent company or one of the branch of the other. So, they would have to have a qualifying relationship and the employee you want to get into the United States, as I said, has to have worked for one year out of the last three years for the foreign company, and you are seeking, under an L Visa, to transfer that employee from the foreign company to the United States.
The third visa that we are normally processing is the H-1B Visa. The problem with the H-1B Visa is that there are only so many. There are only some 60,000 H-1B Visas available per year for applicants who have a bachelor's degree and an additional 20,000 for applicants who have a master's degree.
it's a limited number and because of this number, what we are finding over the last couple of years, is that 2-3 times as many applicants apply for a H-1B as is available which means that within a week of H-1B applications being taken – which usually starts April 1st or the first business day after April 1st – they are all taken up and so you cannot get an H-1B Visa even if you want one and the person is qualified, unless you have applied within that one week in April.
Henry: Can you do H-1B in advance? In Canada, before they find the person, they are able to get the visa. We have what is called the Labour Market Opinion. They have to prove that they cannot find someone and then they get a visa without a name on it and they find the person and attach the name. Is that something you can do for your clients as well?
Rick: No, you cannot do a blank H-1B, unfortunately. Now, you can get a H-2Bs which are for non-agricultural temporary employees who are not being hired for professional work; they are being hired for more manual labor. For example, manufacturing on the line, landscaping, work at Disney World, etc. Once you get to show the need, then you just have to identify the people that are going to fill those H-2B visas. They still have to qualify but it's a little easier because you have already shown the need and the qualifications are minimal to meet the need.
Henry: Vancouver is a hotbed for English schools and there are hundreds of foreign language students in the street from around the world. For every year of post secondary education that a foreign student completes in Canada, they receive a percentage of time to work here in Canada under the Post Graduate Work Permit Program. Do they have a similar system for post-secondary students in the U.S.?
Rick: For college, yes, we do. If you are a foreign student in the United States, you come on what's called an F Visa a student visa, and you are able to work for 12 months while you are in school under a program called Optional Practical Training (OPT).
The job you want to take has to be specific to your degree. Although if you don't use your 12 months while you are studying and you graduate, you can use the full 12 months or however much time you didn't use after you graduate. This is fairly common and a really good resource for a lot of employers here in the U.S. If you go to get a bachelor degree, you have 12 months and if you go to get your Masters degree after that, you get an additional 12 months.
Now keep in mind that if you are in one of those stem programs: science, technology and math, you will receive, in addition to those 12 months, a second extension for up to 27 months which is a long time to convince your employer…you get a couple of bites to get your H-1B while you are working under your OPT.
The difference between working under a H-1B Visa, where you are a professional, is that an employer who is hiring under a H-1B is required to pay what they call a prevailing wage which is determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. The idea is that they are required to pay the base of what you can pay in that occupation, in that location, wherever the employee is working. Under OPT, the employer is not required to pay a prevailing wage. They usually do because it's competitive; however, they don't have to get a determination from the Department of Labor on how much you are going to pay that individual under OPT. So, it's a little easier in terms of regulations and it's easier in terms of application. The graduate student or the post graduate student actually gets the work authorization through the university.
Henry: Rick, thank you very much for your time and we hope you have a great day!
Rick: Thank you; you too.
