This is definitely a tip to tip type of road trip. You can either start in Seattle and finish in San Diego or go in reverse, only dependent on your preference. There are several different routes you can take but the bulk of your journey will exist on some legendary roads such as US Route 101, known as the 101 and different portions of the Pacific Coast Highway such as Highway 1 in California. In our case, let's start South in San Diego and make our way north up into Seattle to finish out the journey.

If you want to journey into the heart of San Francisco you'll have plenty of options of things to do such as Fisherman's Wharf, the Exploratorium and the zigging and zagging of Lombard St. If you're a little overwhelmed with choices, you can try taking a guided city tour on foot, in a mini cooper and several other ways. Remember to take a minute just to relax by the Bay.
Pit Stop: Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
Fourth Stop: Crescent City, CA
Where to Stay in Crescent City: Redwoods RV Resort

You also have a brand new playground, pet washing area and dog park and campground games such as horseshoes.

Journey through this incredible land by foot or vehicle to get a glimpse at some of the largest living organisms on Earth. Popular spots in Redwood National and State Park include Howland Hill Road, Crescent Beach Overlook, and the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. If you plan on staying a while you can also venture into Klamath National Forest.
Fifth Stop: Port Orford, Ore.

Pit Stop: Portland, Oregon to help keep things weird.
Sixth Stop: Cannon Beach, Ore.
Where to Stay in Cannon Beach: Cannon Beach RV Resort
What better way to explore the United States than to be near some of the most famous spots of Lewis and Clark's western expedition like Cannon Beach.

Cannon Beach RV Resort also houses laundry and bath facilities, indoor pool and spa, game room, gift shop, camp store and more.
What to Do in Cannon Beach
Cannon Beach is all about the coastline and its significance. Your first stop should be at Ecola State Park to explore the beaches all the way up to Seaside Oregon. You can set your sights Tillamook Head, the exact spot where remarked that the view was, "The grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed." Other great areas of Cannon Beach to explore can be found at Haystack Rock, Hug Point State Park, and Oswald West State Park. If you're looking for something different, try gazing at the artwork at Icefire Glassworks or sampling some spirits at the Cannon Beach Distillery.
Seventh Stop: The Seattle Area
Where to Stay in the Seattle Area: Elwha Dam RV Park in Port Angeles or Mounthaven Resort in Ashford
The last (or first) stop on your Pacific coast road trip takes you through the Seattle area and the surrounding bounty of outdoors hot spots. We've provided you with two choices for RV parks. Elwha Dam RV Park lies west of Seattle and if the perfect spot to start on exploring one of the most biodiverse regions in the world at Olympic National Park. Mounthaven Resort is found east of Seattle and is a great starting spot if you want to focus on Mount Rainier National Park. Both RV parks are packed with great features and amenities for your Seattle adventures.
Then there is Seattle, Washington itself, a great destination for outdoor and traveling minds. There is plenty to do in Seattle. Favorite attractions include the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Museum of Flight, and the amazing Chihuly Garden and Glass. If you'd rather just hang out why not grab a cup of coffee and relax on the Puget Sound.
When to Go
Any time of year is fantastic for Southern California though there will be more haphazard weather conditions the longer you head north up the coast. June and July are great months to take on this trip though you can go in late spring or early fall if you want to avoid some crowds.

Laid off. Living paycheck-to-paycheck. What should you do?
With over 70% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, this situation happens more often than you might imagine!
You see, when you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, bills go past due THE INSTANT that you miss ONE paycheck.
So what should you do if you encounter this situation? I have prepared a list of things that I would do IMMEDIATELY if I were living paycheck-to-paycheck and lost my job.
- PRAY!!! It really does work!
- Call every single creditor you owe and inform them of your situation. Humbly ask them to help you. Ask them if they would please lower the interest rate to 0%, charge no fees, and give you three months of no payments. Most of them will work with you!!! Communication person-to-person works so well!!!
- File for unemployment.
- Immediately cut out all non-essential expenses. Get rid of the cable, internet, home telephone (keep the cell phone), gym membership, etc.
- Go get a job that earns something to help bridge the gap between full-time positions.
- Apply for new jobs on monster.com, hotjobs.com, and the newspapers.
- Spend all of your money on paper BEFORE you actually receive the money. In other words, start PLANNING your spending! Free tools are available by clicking on "Tools" at the top of the page!
By the way, if you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, but still have a job – consider yourself warned!!! TODAY it might happen to you. What would your family have to do if you lost your job today? Why not make today THE DAY that you change your family's entire financial future?

You forgot: Donate blood. just kidding, or am I?
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to know not to do it again.
This is another reason why you should strive to have an emergency cash cushion or keep a simple lifestyle. Regardless of how much my income increases we ten to keep the same lifestyle. The only thing we need is a house, food, electric, water and gas. Those bills are constant. As for the rest it's an added bonus.
When you have a emergency fund and/or debt-free, you do not have to worry about calling any creditors. The less stress you have.
"if you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, but still have a job – consider yourself warned!!! "
I agree. If you have debt and barely making ends meet. Concentrate on making more money or cutting your lifestyle.

Why can't I update or root?
bladebuddy replied to dulpit's topic in Vodafone Smart ultra 6This worked for anyone, flashed the stock rom, didn't sign in, tried 4 different kingroot versions & mobilego root option, phone rebooted but root failed. Drivers installed e.t.c. Would like to know if folks with write protection managed to get root as I must be doing something wrong. Bought the device last Friday so I am guessing its write protected.
FAQ about the Smart Ultra 6
bladebuddy replied to Frankish's topic in Vodafone Smart ultra 6Long time since I have visited this site but picking this phone up on Friday. One thing I remeber, chainfire updated supersu one time, the update broke chrome, the fix was to turn off data saver in the chrome settings before installing su, might be something similar thats breaking chrome for some people. Just thought it was worth mentioning .
That's a shame as I like to pop in and see what bargains are about , and people's reviews and thoughts. Maybe as its Paul's forum he might like to plug his own phones may it helps with the cost ? Who knows. Anyway you could always start a new one.

No need to wipe just flash gapps again also try freeing up some system space by getting rid of unwanted wallpapers e.t.c from the system or increase its size with a tpt image if you want a larger system space to install apks.
[STOCK ROM] REPACK B199 Android 4.1.1 G510/Y300
bladebuddy replied to ShockeyCzT's topic in Huawei Ascend G510 DevelopmentJust thought you might be interested in Nova launcher ( beta)download and enabled in settings Nova settings. Brings the transparent navigation and status bar back. Pic is on a nexus but should work with you're phone running kk.
What's your favorite Nexus 4 ROM?
bladebuddy replied to a topic in Google / LG Nexus 4There's soooo many roms that anyone would be hard pressed to choose. As you know its not like modaco on XDA you have to flash and try for yourself. Best thing is to decide what you would like from a rom read the opening post and try a few roms with the options you like. Most official roms from the likes of cyanogen mod, miui, paranoid android e.t.c are there also very good independent roms . I don't think anyone could give better info then this . Some of my favorites are PSX (NO LONGER BEING PUBLISHED) have the rom if you want to try it. Also cataclysm (my personal favorite) but they are my choices and your own personal requirements might be different. You could always try and make a stock/ custom rom to you're liking with xposed framework app + modules. The choice is yours so try a few . Just remember you're nandroid backup and all is good.
ART is android run time. Normally when opening apps e.t.c information is written in the dalvic cache , which uses more processing power and time. As a result things don't run as smooth as they could. ART is now released on 4.4 as an early development option and does away with that . If you Google it you will get more info. If you run into problems using ART as some have you can flash the moto dalvic patch instead which optimizes dalvic to run just as fast , but I personally think ART has the edge. Sounds complicated but its no different from flashing a patch through recovery ( for motor patch only) . ART is found in the developer options on your phone, switch to it and your phone reboots and takes a while as it optimizes your apps. After you choose one of the above your phone should be as smooth as an iPhone or windows phone. Just Google and you will get it as there is loads of info on the subject who can explain it better then me. Hope this helps. J:D
Also a nexus 4 user and to be truthful I wasn't overly impressed with stock 4.4 cannot stand hangouts and miss the network indicators on the signal strength bar. Installed cataclysm custom rom and my mind changed , super smooth running ART and hellscore kernel, battery good and my indicators are back. Also changed hangouts for 8mms apk l, like stock messaging app! Wouldn't go back now. Fastest phone ever.Try a custom .
Happy Birthday Kyan!

ZTE Blade V JellyBean kernel(3.4.x) source code
bladebuddy replied to KonstaT's topic in ZTE Blade VI don't personally think the phone needs a over clocking kernel. Undevolting and core stability maybe. Similar to what's happening with the nexus 4. There's nothing this phone hasn't run smoothly without the need of reduction in battery life. Will flash it still out of curiosity, and to throw in a good antutu score though and to see if it works. I also think it might be a good idea to all owners of the blade v to though a few quid Konstas way so he can get a blade v. Probably the best dev on modaco and certainly a Dev we need onboard to help get this phone more popular as I personally think its a bargain and has the potential of being the next big thing like the original blade.

Buy MK-677(Ibutamoren)Powder
Product Detail
Ibutamoren (developmental code names MK-677, MK-0677, L-163,191) is a non-peptidic, potent, long-acting, orally-active, and selective agonist of the ghrelin receptor and a growth hormone secretagogue,mimicking the growth hormone (GH)-stimulating action of the endogenous hormone ghrelin.It has been demonstrated to increase the release of, and produces sustained increases in plasma levels of several hormones including GH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), but without affecting cortisol levels.It is currently under development as a potential treatment for reduced levels of these hormones, such as in children or elderly adults with growth hormone deficiency,and human studies have shown it to increase both muscle mass and bone mineral density,making it a promising therapy for the treatment of frailty in the elderly.It also alters metabolism of body fat and so may have application in the treatment of obesity.
How It Work
Nutrobal works by increasing the release of several hormones in the body, including growth hormone and IGF-1, and it does this without affecting cortisol levels. Subsequently, the increase in IGF-1 and growth hormone comes with a host of benefits which we will discuss in this article. Furthermore, it fights also obesity by altering the metabolism of body fat.
Athletic Use
Nutrobal will cause a rise in IGF-1 and growth hormone even in a diet induced nitrogen wasting state. This means that even without making any serious effort in the kitchen or the gym it is almost impossible not to gain muscle mass and lose body fat with nutrobal. Therefore, athletes can benefit in several ways from Nutrobal:
1. Fat loss
2. Muscle gain
3. Injury healing and bone strengthening
Moreover, it will also aid in such things as endurance, mood, sleep, and general health. Hence, nutrobal Mk-677 gives the athletes all the benefits of growth hormone and IGF-1 increase without the high financial cost and side effects of the HGH.
Ibutamoren Stacking
1. Endurance: Many endurance athletes have been pinched over the years for human growth hormone, so naturally, we can deduce that nutrobal would work beautifully for this purpose. Stack it with 20 milligrams (mg) a day of cardarine for a lethal endurance stack, and blow away your competition on your next bicycle/road race.
2. Fat loss: Nutrobal is so good at preventing fat gain and fighting obesity, that it is almost impossible to gain body fat on it. However, you can take these effects even further - stack it with andarine and cardarine to get a lethal fat burning triple stack.
3. Mass gain: Being able to gain mass without the fear of spiking your body fat measurement is something we all wish for, but unless you have tremendous genetics, it is very difficult to accomplish. Nutrobal evens the playing field when stacked with LGD and anabolic steroids.
4. Overall health: Nutrobal can give an improved mood, sleep, cholesterol levels, injury healing, and immune system boosting. Stack it with N2guard, Ostarine and HCGenerate ES to get a perfect stack for those who have let their bodies go due to injury, or who are in between cycles and looking to improve their overall health without risking anabolic steroid use and having a setback.
Ibutamoren Dosage
Just like with other SARMs, the half life of nutrobal is a robust 24 hours, so once a day dosing is all that is needed.
It is recommended taking nutrobal upon waking up, on an empty stomach before you eat breakfast, and 25 milligrams (mg) a day is the bread and butter dosage.
Some users will go as low as 5mg, or as high as 50mg.

Zambia Nutrition PROFILES 2017 estimates were developed using a participatory and consultative approach with a multisectoral group of participants, including representatives of Government of the Republic of Zambia Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Local Government and Housing, General Education, Development Planning, Fisheries and Livestock, Water and Sanitation and Information and Broadcasting; cooperating partners; and nutrition implementers/researchers. Specific thanks are due to the National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC), Zambia Ministry of Health (MOH), CARE SUN Fund Management Unit, UNICEF, World Food Programme (WFP), Indaba Agricultural Policy Research Institute (IAPRI), Nutrition Association of Zambia, Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition (CSO-SUN) Initiative, Zambia Institute of Policy Analysis and Research Central Statistics Office (ZIPAR), USAID/Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project, Thrive Project, University of Zambia, and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN).
The Republic of Zambia is a landlocked country in South-central Africa with a mild tropical climate. It is sparsely populated compared to some of the neighbouring countries. The population is young and predominantly rural. Zambia is severely affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which compromises social and economic gains the country is striving to attain. Mostly as a result of pandemic, life expectancy at birth has dropped sharply.
Zambia's economy has been traditionally dominated by the copper mining industry. However, following a sharp decline in copper earnings, the contribution of the agricultural sector to GDP has increased. Zambia has a huge agricultural potential, still largely untapped. The majority of the population is engaged in rain-fed subsistence farming. Reduced state support in the 1990s has led to a shift in crop production from maize, the staple food crop, to other crops (cassava and cash crops), but maize is still largely predominant. Livestock production remains far below its potential, notably due to recurrent drought and outbreaks of diseases.

Agricultural animals
If there's one trait that distinguishes humans from animals, it's the ability to grow food.
But you might be surprised to learn that humans were not the first farmers. A number of astonishing animals discovered agriculture long before humans evolved as a species. There are insects that practice husbandry, fish that farm, and even a jellyfish horticulturalist.
Farming was once believed to be a feat reserved only for big-brained hairless apes, but it turns out that animals don't need a central nervous system to tend crops. Here's our list of seven amazing animal agriculturalists. (Text: Bryan Nelson)

Interview: Chelsea Pitcher, Author of the S-Word!
Hello again, lovelies! Please say hello to our guest today, the ever-cool Chelsea Pitcher, author of the forthcoming The S-Word, and one of my own agent-sisters. Before we dive in, here's a little bit about the book.
But one week after Lizzie kills herself, SUICIDE SLUT replaces it—in Lizzie's looping scrawl.
Lizzie's reputation is destroyed when she's caught in bed with her best friend's boyfriend on prom night. With the whole school turned against her, and Angie not speaking to her, Lizzie takes her own life. But someone isn't letting her go quietly. As graffiti and photocopies of Lizzie' sdiary plaster the school, Angie begins a relentless investigation into who, exactly, made Lizzie feel she didn't deserve to keep living. And while sheclaims she simply wants to punish Lizzie's tormentors, Angie's own anguish over abandoning her best friend will drive her deep into the dark, twisted side of Verity High—and she might not be able to pull herself back out.
And here we go!
Okay, icebreaker question: who is your favorite superhero?
I've always been a fan of Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman. She's witty, feisty, and just the right amount of wicked. Maybe not a traditional "hero," but I much prefer characters that walk the line between good and evil. Anybody who's 100% good or 100% evil will have a hard time keeping my attention.
First off, congratulations on selling your book! I'm sure this is a question that makes you cringe everytime you hear it, but where did the idea for The S-Word originate?
Well thank you! And don't worry, since we're pretty early in the process, I'm far from being sick of the question. Also, since so many things coalesced to inspire this novel, my plan is to give a different (but true) answer for as long as I can manage it.
So for you, my answer is . . .
I feel like we live in a society obsessed with vigilantes. From Batman to Dexter, Veronica Mars to Revenge, we deal with our disappointments in the justice system by hoping someone cool, clever and kick-ass will step in and save us. But what does this over-reliance on heroes say about our society as a whole? And how does the quest for justice affect the vigilante herself?
And just like that, Angie was born—an amateur vigilante hell-bent on taking a stand against the bullies at her school, but wholly unaware of how easily morality can shift in the quest for justice, or how quickly the hero can slide into villain territory.
Wow- sounds like a grey area I can't wait to explore! Can you tell us about how you signed with our fabulous Sandy Lu?
Sandy picked me the old-fashioned way—out of the slushpile!!
I started querying for THE S-WORD in early 2011, using sites like AgentQuery.com tofind agents who represented my genres. (THE S-WORD is realistic, but I also write urban fantasy, so I wanted to find someone who might be interested in representing my career as a whole, rather than just one book.) Sandy seemed to fit the bill, and I loved what she had to say in an interview on GuideToLiteraryAgents.com. I queried her, along with a few others, and she requested within a few days (she was the first!)
A few months later, she called to offer representation. Wegot along instantly, and after she compared my book favorably to Veronica Mars, I was hooked! I signed with her that week, and I'm so happy that I did!
So are we! Now, everyone has their little quirks and habits that affect what they do. What is a perfect day of writing like for you?
I like to do long stretches of writing. Getting a thousandwords in here and there is fine, but I find I work best when I can devote several hours in a day to getting some serious work done. On my best days, I've done around 7,000 words (this is rare), and I feel like writing without interruption gets the best flow going.
Also, if I could be outdoors, in the sun, somewhere peacefuland quiet, that would be fantastic (and also rare!)
I'm the same way- I like to camp out and let the whole day pass by with my mind in my own little world. Is there anything you have to have while you're writing? Lucky pen, lucky drink, lucky weather?
I prefer to be heavily caffeinated. If I can get just the right amount (triple soy caramel latte, anyone?) I find my subconscious takes over and I don't even think about what I'm writing. It's pretty much as close to automatic writing as I can get, and it tends to yield the best fruit.
Mmmm, caffeine…
What about a writer's life has surprised you most since you got your book deal?
Publishing is an interesting business, because for a longtime things are moving at a snail's pace, and you're just writing, rewriting, editing, querying,checking your email obsessively, er . . . a usual amount of times. And then suddenly
It takes some getting used to, and you really have to be self-motivated—promoting your book online, working on new projects, etc.— when things are happening behind the scenes, because you don't want to be fooled by a false sense of downtime!
So then what about a writer's life has been the most gratifying?
The fact that my favorite thing to do and my career can actually be the same thing. It's kind of amazing.
I think that's the dream for most of us, right there. But, writers are also readers (usually voracious ones). What book or books most influenced you as a reader or writer?
So many books!!! But you were expecting that, weren't you?So I'll pick out a few:
James Howe's BUNNICULA for hilarious character development and the creation of the Original Vegetarian Vampire.
Lloyd Alexander's THE CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN for adventure, self-actualization, and a hilarious heroine.
Francesca Lia Block's DANGEROUS ANGELS and Holly Black's MODERN FAERIE TALES for being game-changers in the fields of magical realism and urban fantasy.
You get to corral a gaggle of fellow YA authors into a single space: what's the space, and what do you do?
I'd take everybody to one of the islands where they filmed Mama Mia. No, seriously, have you seen that movie? Those islands are GORGEOUS, and I've always wanted to go to Greece. So we go there, do some swimming, writing, celebrating. Everybody's happy, and telling all kinds of interesting stories. Win-win.
Oh, that sounds amazing. Greek islands and stories? Sign me up! We'd need something to read on the flight, though. What is your most anticipated read of 2012?
I'm really excited to read Francesca Lia Block's THE ELEMENTALS and Michael Underwood's GEEKOMANCY. I'm a long-time fan ofFrancesca's, and GEEKOMANCY was pitched as Clerks meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer—how could you go wrong?
Okay, laaaaaast question: what was it like, that moment when you found out your book had sold?
Pure, unadulterated shock.
I was at my parents' house when Sandy called, and I went into their laundry room to get some privacy. Sandy had just gotten back into town after being on leave, so I told myself she might just be calling to check in with her clients. And even after she started to tell me about THE S-WORD climbing the chain at Gallery Books, I kept expecting her to stop at some point and say, "So now it's doing to second reads/acquisitions/etc."
Eventually it dawned on me that the book had made it all the way to the top, and from there the shock transformed into joy. And that's pretty much how it's been ever since: moments of shock and disbelief, broken up intermittently by giddiness!
Thank you so much for having me!
Chelsea Pitcher
Thanks for dropping by, Chelsea, and congratulations again!
And keep an eye out for The S-Word, out in stores January 2013.
Until next time~
Book Review: For Darkness Shows the Stars, by Diana Peterfreund
Four years ago, Elliot North's world turned upside down when her best friend Kai left to find his fortunes elsewhere. Left behind to care for her family's crumbling estates, Elliot's life is a daily battle against her cruel, feckless father and self-indulgent older sister as she struggles to grow enough food to keep them solvent and feed all their tenants. The Luddite lords, scornful of the genetic experiments and technology that led to much of the human race being broken to the mental level of six-year-olds, care for the Reduced, but a new generation is breaking free of those restraints into a society that doesn't know how to define them. When Kai suddenly returns as the rich, successful Captain Malakai Wentforth, the Cloud Fleet is a way for Elliot to save her tenants and her lands- if he doesn't finish shattering her heart first.
I adore Jane Austen in a way that I never expected to when I was younger. In middle school and most of high school, I thought she was synonymous with everything that could possibly be wrong with required reading, something that had to be deathly dull and uninteresting and of absolutely no relevance to anything. Senior year, we had to read Pride and Prejudice over winter break, and I fell in love. (Colin Firth in tight pants didn't hurt) That started my Jane Austen kick, and when I got to Persuasion, I fell hard for this slow, poignant unfolding of a love gone horribly wrong and the painful, stuttering chance for redemption.
When I found out about a YA retelling, I was both giddy and terrified.
After reading, I can say the verdict came down fully on the side of giddy.
It's rich and atmospheric, with a beautifully claustrophobic setting that brings the pain and desperation of this shattered relationship into sharp relief. Within any story the setting would be amazing. The history of the Reduction and the gradual evolution away from that wholesale devestation creates a three-part society filled with conflict and responsibility. The delicate compromises made by the Luddites in order to keep their farms and lands functioning serve as stark contrast to the Posts' willingness to adapt or invent technologies, but also show how finite their resources are, which makes extravagance painful to see. The nature of a society in such a severe rate of change is gorgeous.
Elliot is an amazing character, strong and resourceful, someone who genuinely cares about so much more than herself. I'm not sure if she's more indicative or symptomatic of the changing times and sensibilities, but she's caught between the Luddite Protocols by which she's been raised- the same Protocols that instruct her to care for those who whose bloodlines have been devestated by the Reduction- and the drive to try new things in order to better care for those same people. She's hard-working, willing (and able) to put the needs of others ahead of her own desires, and having made the decision to do just that four years ago, she faces the painful consequences every single day. Part of what makes her so fascinating- and so eminently likable- is how strong those conflicts are within her. She tries to take the high road- doesn't always succeed- and tries desperately to reconcile the constant pain of Kai's departure and his return as the very different Malakai with the knowledge of just how much she's needed on the North estates. She made the right decision but that doesn't make it easier to live with the consequences. She's placed in the not-so-unique position faced by every teen when the tough choices come due. Elliot is a hero for a generation.
Kai is a little more problematic. His bitterness upon his return is completely understandable. His rage, his hurt, they make sense, but the way he constantly insults Elliot, the way he consistently and purposefully stomps on her when she's down, it makes it hard to even like him, much less swoon for him. Except- oh, except- the chapters are interspersed with years of letters between Kai and Elliot as children, full of beautiful innocence and friendship that gradually evolves not only into a true friendship, but also shows how quickly and completely children can lose than innocence in a society so patently unequal. Kai becomes likable- even lovable- through the letters, and in the quieter moments when he's startled or his guard is down, the moments where he genuinely sees Elliot, rather than the monster he's created through four years of bitterness and hurt feelings. In those moments, he's amazing. (and changing his name from Wentworth to Wentforth makes me geekily happy more than it probably should)
Most of the side characters are beautifully realized, given life and breath outside of the originals. In a retelling, there's a difference between faithful and slavish, and this definitely comes out to the better of that line. Elliot's older sister Tatiana is a wonderful amalgam of the oldest and youngest Elliot sisters from the original, with the additional virtue of having a few moments of genuine sympathy. She's not a likable character- nor is she ever truly meant to be- but that we feel for her at any point is a superb bit of writing. The Posts are as richly varied as the Luddites, and with varying degrees of innovation (no pun intended) and daring. Most of them aren't the first generation of Posts, but that gives many of them a sense of recklessness that goes hand in hand with the daring experiments carried out by their ancestors. Andromeda is cautious and prickly and protective- in some ways a more extreme version of Elliot's own protectiveness- while her brother is gloomy and sorrow-burdened at times, at other times almost manic. The Innovations are a wonderful blend of Austen's Crofts and, in the case of Mrs. Innovation, something new and terrifying and reassuring. Ro, a Reduced girl born the same day as Kai and Elliot, is sweet and sincere, with remarkable leaps of understanding that mark her as special without making her less than (or more than) Reduced. It gives her grace without taking away the reality of what she is. Dee, a Post woman who serves as the North's foreman, is practical and compassionate, a wonderful mother figure for the motherless Elliot without ever feeling like she's trying to replace anyone. She's willing to give Elliot the hard truths, to puncture comforting illusions or beliefs in the name of helping Elliot become a stronger and better person. The neighbors are lively and intelligent, a good example of moderation in both Post and Luddite thinking. The wholly original character of the Boatwright, Elliot's maternal grandfather, was gorgeous and moving.
The only side character I truly found problematic was Elliot's father, Baron North. He's cruel and menacing, but given that we never actually see him carry through any of his horrible threats- nor are even told of times previous to that, other than the burning, that he did so- the menace becomes almost comical in nature, like a punch clown who just snaps back up into place without a true reaction.
Within this shifting society, the setting poses more questions than it answers, but that's actually okay- most of those questions are things we haven't figured out for ourselves yet, so it seems like cheating to create a falsely simple solution and feed it through the characters. They're not simple questions, and they're ones that have been plaguing us for a long time. I really like that those questions- some practical, some ethical, some a little more esoteric- are explored without being sacrificed in the name of tidiness.
On its own or as a retelling, this is an amazing book with all the wonder, pain, and fragile hope of the original while taking a brave new world and a distinctly YA cast that makes this, in a word, unforgettable.
For Darkness Shows the Stars, by Diana Peterfreund, absolutely not to be missed.
Until next time~
Scary New Project
I finally found all the shreds of my courage, got it together, and dove headfirst into Scary New Project. It's still terrifying and so strange to write, but I'm loving it.
So I'm spending all day buried in it up to my neck.
BUT- I am going to leave you with these clues about Scary New Project. It includes the following:
…okay, one of those is a lie.
But only one of them.
What inspires you?
Until next time~
Half-Year Recap- Favorites So Far!
So we're about halfway done with 2012 and there have been SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS come out already this year, with so many more good ones to come. I was looking over my Goodreads list (oh hai! I'm on Goodreads- you can friend me, if you like!) and some of them just stick out so much in my mind, and I thought I'd share with you my list of Favorites So Far.
Code Name Verity, Code Name Verity, Code Name Verity
If you have not read this book yet, it is a problem. Remedy it. It's funny and shattering and gorgeous and one of the most spectacular examples of distinctive voice, flawlessly researched, and utterly absorbing. This is a book that, once you open it, you CANNOT put down. This is one of those books that everyone needs to read. Elizabeth Wein is one of my new idols.
And speaking of shattering, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. I haven't reviewed this book for the simple reason that even now, five full months after reading it, I still can't speak about it coherently. It's rich and funny and tragic and glorious, heart-breaking and healing and one of the most beautifully, bizarrely hopeful books I've ever read. I laughed and cried in the same gulping breaths and it is SO HARD to tell people what this book is about. This is a book that doesn't only change your life, it redefines it. If you read only one book this year (gah, what a terrifying thought!) make it this one.
Jennifer E. Smith's The Statistical Probablity of Love at First Sight was a book that blew me away. It was completely out of my comfort zone in so many ways. It's a contemp romance- not really my thing- and a very significant foundation of this story is parental divorce and remarriage- also not really my thing- and the combination of tense and perspective weirded me out the entire time. And I LOVED it. The characters were raw and real and wonderful, and it's amazing how much can happen in twenty-four hours. It's sweet and sad and silly and thought-provoking and doesn't try to give everything easy answers. This was the book I was curious about but never expected to like, and to an extent that's true. I didn't like it- I loved it.
Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone was simply magical (and send congratulations her way- she just debuted at #8 on the NYT Bestsellers List!). It was rich and dark and atmospheric and a fantastic example of how strong you can make a setting without drowning in it. The world of the Grishas stepped outside of playing Russian and became something extraordinary, where the language was just alien enough that it melded with the familiar social heirarchies and human dramas that it became something both comfortable and exciting. It built just enough off of what we could recognize that it didn't have to rely solely on those pieces anymore. It creates so many wonderful mysteries and opens up this huge world within a small space. This was not one to put down. In fact, I might have handed it to one of my co-workers and told her to buy it without actually telling her anything about it.
Want to laugh yourself into abdominal cramps? Then check out Christopher Healy's The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, a look at what happens after the Happily Ever After for four princes who can't quite manage to make the bards care about them. After all, the princesses are so much more interesting, and who wants to try to remember a prince's name? Just call him Charming and be done with it. This book is a roaring adventure- and at least half of that roaring is laughter- full of dragons and giants and clever little sisters and boorish brothers and so much adventure. Do NOT read this while drinking or eating, or if you have liquids near your computer. Read it aloud, ogle the illustrations, and just enjoy this wonderful, fun-loving frolick.
Anyone who knows me knows I love faeries and faerie tales and faerie telling retellings. LOVE them. And Alethea Kontis' Enchanted was everything I could have asked for. The sly references (and the sheer number of them!) to various stories was totally made of win, and the characters were unique and vibrant and richly flawed. It's a world that, for all its magic and mystery, never quite steps apart from our own. It's like walking down the street of your own town and suddenly discovering a wisp of wonder. It's gorgeously written and it was physically painful to put down, with everything I love not just in a fairy tale but in a story.
What are some of your favorites so far of 2012?
Until next time~
A Chance to Look Sideways
As writers, we invest a lot in our manuscripts.
We're only a little bit kidding when we call them our babies. We invest a lot of time, imagination, and work into finding the right words- and even more challenging, stringing the words into the right order. We fret over the characters like they really are our children, worrying every step of their progress, putting them through unimaginable pains and torments in the name of story. We weave the setting out of whole cloth and we dance our children through their journey like marionettes. We throw ourselves completely into this alternate reality, losing ourselves for hours at a time, and even when we withdraw back into the mundane world, our constructs linger within our minds, almost obsessively at points.
This can be a wonderful thing, but it also presents problems- well, not problems, let's call them difficulties- down the road, mainly when it comes time for edits.
Edits are this amazing opportunity to take a sideways look at things, to discover the 'why' behind all the glorious accidents that happen during drafting. The thing is, writers very rarely have the ability to step back from their manuscripts enough to do the thorough editing that needs to be done.
I know I can't.
We're too invested in what we've created, so the idea of cutting or changing things would be like putting one of our children into plastic surgery. All of the flaws and problems and inconsistencies get glossed over as adorable and charming. We read through the manuscript and our brains just skip over all the things that we would notice in someone else's.
If we're lucky, and if we're a little thick-skinned and pragmatic, we find someone who does have the necessary distance, someone who can go through it with a critical eye and- best of all- a passion to make your manuscript the best it can possibly be.
Would now be a good time to say that I have an amazing editor?
Going through all the notes, the comments, the questions forces me to look at every line- seriously, every line– and evaluate exactly what it does. I can't gloss over something or pretend it doesn't exist- every note needs to be thought about, addressed. And I love it. I may be one of the only people in the world who loves doing edits because of that sideways look at things.
It goes back to high school English classes. Teachers would tell us to analyze "what the author meant to do" and I hated it HATED IT because I pretty much figured English teachers on the whole were buying into a load of bull. (No offense, English teachers). The author meant to- no, no, the author just wrote the frickin sentence. The fact that it makes a vague allusion to something completely unconnected to the story that may or may not actually reinforce any of the themes is probably just an accident. As a reader I might have been willing to give into the theory, but as a writer? I didn't believe it for a minute.
And working through my manuscript line by line, I'm still not sure I believe it.
What it did do was make me recognize all the accidents layered through the pages. Accidents I love, yes, but accidents nonetheless. Allusions I hadn't realized I'd included, words that made unexpected parallels and resonances through the chapters.
Most of that is due to Andrew's attention to detail. He notices things that I've become so used to reading that it doesn't even occur to me. He questions even the small things, but addressing them makes such a better book. I'm getting to see entirely new sides of my characters, getting to know so much more about them, and it's not because of anything I'm doing. It's because of the questions Andrew asks, the challenges he makes.
It can be terrifying to give your story to someone else, to put it out there in the cold, hard world for someone to pick apart, but don't be afraid.
Take a deep breath.
And prepare yourself for that sideways look, where your manuscript comes alive in totally new ways.
Until next time~
Book Review: Shadow and Bone, by Leigh Bardugo
Alina Starkov came from nowhere, an orphan on the wars raised on the charity of a duke's estate and trained as an army cartographer. The only thing that makes her anything, at least in her mind, is her friendship with Mal, skilled tracker and ladies' man extraordinaire. Until the Fold, until the attack, until the blaze of light that comes from her and marks her as a rare form of Grisha. Then she's whisked away, the hope of an entire nation, and taught to use her unfamiliar magic, lost within a world of luxury and beauty every bit as dangerous as the Fold, for where there's hope, there's also despair and expectation, and there are always those who try to use power to their own advantage. Alina will not only have to learn to use her strange new skills, but decide who she can trust.
Being the hope of all of Ravka? Kind of sucks.
Oh, guys. GUYS. This is such an amazing book. It immediately transports you into a world that's alien and familiar at once, a pseudo-Russian setting that comes alive around you in so many ways. Clothing, architecture, language, food, it all wraps around you and just immerses you in this rich, atmospheric land. It's detailed but not a slavish reproduction; it's an homage that's accessible and relatable and recognizable, but also stands easily on its own. It's a Russia that's still steeped in magic, but it's also a time of significant change, as the old ways are fading before the new.
I love Alina. She's a fantastic character, strong and achingly vulnerable, prickly and passionate, fiercely loyal to people who are often less than loyal to her in return. She's got this deep well of inner strength that gives her the fortitude to weather deep pains, as well as the courage to face them again. This is a girl accustomed to being abandoned, but who faces that with minimal bitterness. Minimal- she's too intelligent to forget the wrongs done her, too practical to hold a grudge, and too sharp not to make at least a few withering comments about it. She knows her place, has had it reinforced over and over and over again in her life, but she's not discontent in that- it's comforting in a way, because at least that one thing is a reliable foundation. She's sometimes a little passive, letting others pull her this way and that, but it's never in a way that's disconcerting or irritating. It always fits the circumstances. And I mean, come on, if we were under those conditions- overwhelmed, hunted, confused, and with minimal training, how well would any of us do?
I think what I may love best about Alina is her stubbornness. She has to be dragged kicking and screaming into anything she doesn't want to do, but once she's in there, she'll do her best to stay afloat. She doesn't forgive easily and she's not above taking a certain petty satisfaction in the discomfort of those who give her trouble. Which, let's face it, is really appealing to me. I like a certain amount of snarly.
The Darkling, the uber-powerful and uber-attractive head of the Grisha is a a supremely interesting character. I frickin' love him. He's complex and contradictory, he's menacing even at his most open and relaxed, and consistently enigmatic. He understands people very, very well and doesn't hesitate to use that knowledge, and despite how alluring he can be, despite the draw of his power and physical beauty, there's never a moment when we don't know he's dangerous. He is the ultimate mystery in a world that Alina doesn't fully understand. That danger, that edge of the unknown, underscores everything he does. We never learn his name and his history, while vital, comes to us in tiny increments that don't so much illuminate as obfuscate.
The Grisha are the magic-users, born not made, and they come from every class of Ravka society. Once they're tested and found, however, they become something else entirely, separated from their well-compensated families. Grisha are a rank apart from the rest of society, but they have their own heirarchy. At its head is the Darkling, as good as a king within his own domain, but things break down from there into several broad categories, broken down further into specifics. They're regarded with a high degree of superstition by the common folk, so Alina starts out knowing very little about the realities of the Grisha. She has to learn the truth and their history along the way, which lets us learn it at the same time without either her or the audience looking like idiots. They're a fascinating group and there was a part of me that was desperate to know more- to know about their history and all the details of the different subsets and the way they work within the heirarchy- but I was also very grateful that it wasn't there because this story was so well-paced that I didn't want to worry about the distractions. (maybe a compendium? maybe? maybe?- this is me begging, if it's not obvious)
This story get such a fantastic balance of danger in the midst of luxury, ugliness as an inherent part of beauty, and mercy in the midst of savagery. Some of these dangers sometimes seem a little underdeveloped and uneven, but there are two other installments to follow- while many of the threads come closer to resolution, some have to stay open for the future books. I love that very frequently, luxury and beauty feel like an active threat, a danger. It seems like it should be something everyone wants, but to those accustomed to a certain starkness (starkness? Starkov? Ha! I see what you did there!) it's every bit as unsettling as the sudden lack would be to anyone else.
And if you get hooked on this one (fabulous book- you will), keep an eye out for Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising.
Until next time~
Cover Love: June Edition
It's been a little while since I did one of these, but there have been some FANTASTIC covers recently that I just have to gush over.
This one was just revealed today, and oh my God I'm in love. It's gorgeous! It's also thoroughly eerie and creepy, and inviting and intriguing and everything you want a book cover to be. The blues are soft and mysterious, colors of secrets and sadness and somehow also calm and deep, like the bottom of a lake. The key, because it's bright and a very different color than the rest of the background, stands out, but it's not just a symbol of secrets- keys are also authority and things that should be kept away, and also things that are about to emerge. Funny thing about keys is that they have a way of getting used. The girl's face emerges from the smoke and fog of the key, like she's shrouded in mystery, like her entire life is birthed from the mysteries of that key and everything it can stand for. Behind her stretches walls with what looks like names- which calls to mind the Vietnam Memorial and it's lists of the dead- but the walls also seem to close in behind her, both protective and claustrophobic. This is a cover I could happily study for hours at a time, and it leads so beautifully into the description. The Archived by Victoria Schwab- can't wait.
I love Rick Riordan covers. The artwork is fantastic and if I'm honest, I love the fact that he's the only author I know that can successfully get pre-adolescent and adolescent boys to read books with pink covers. Throne of Fire anyone? And now he's released the cover for Mark of Athena and I love it like cake (even though I hate the color pink). Obviously the most immediately striking things about the cover is the owl's face, specifically its eyes. They're piercing and direct, and being the totem of Athena, and given that Athena isn't too fond of Percy, it's hard to tell if that's meant to be menacing or protective. Then your eye goes down and you notice the two boys on horses apparently about to kill each other. Um…problem? Even there it's distinct, with different shirts, different hair colors, even different types of magical horses. You really want to hope the boys are actually working together against a common enemy, but…well, the Greeks and Romans don't really get along, do they? Expect LOTS of conflict in this one, especially as it's the middle book of the series.
It's no seccret that I love this book. I can gush about this book for WEEKS. I'm fairly sure all my co-workers are fairly sick of hearing me talk about it. But my God even the cover is fantastic! The background is black- stark, unforgiving, and entirely devoid of comfort. But because of the way the eye travels, at first we only see it as a background for the left image: arms reaching from opposite directions, bound with twine at the wrists, clasping each other. It's hard to know which piece makes the strong impact. The way they're holding each other isn't casual- clasping at the wrist is a rescue hold, a support hold. It offers more strength, does less damage- and is a lot less likely to be pulled apart. They're holding each other, so the bonds are voluntary. Yet there's the twine. Twine is an interesting material, coarse and uncomfortable, easy to find but leaves a lasting impact with fabric splinters and rashes and scratches. They've chosen to hold each other but external forces also bind them. This may be hard to see in the photo, but there's actually writing superimposed on the skin. We hold our secrets so close to the surface; scratch the skin and the emerge. It's a gorgeous cover that draws out the
fiercest elements of the story. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.
Another recent cover reveal was for Laini Taylor's Days of Blood and Starlight, sequel to last year's Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It closely parallels the original cover, focusing on the eyes and the space around it. The mask- in this case the patterns painted around them- are striking and draw the attention in on an otherwise grey-scale cover. The first cover was blue- relaxing, bright, reminscent of Karou's hair and her easy manner- but here the focus has shifted. Here we have flames and blood and the deep menace associated with that color, BUT, if you look through the letters, you can also see just a slight hint of a smile. Not much of one, and not a very nice smile, but it's there, and it makes you remember that red is also a color of seduction and of passion. They're exotic markings, and it's only when comparing it to the first cover (and the first story) that you start to wonder if they're actually painted on or if they're somehow more inherent than that.
Any covers that you're looking forward to?
Until next time~

Next is the Data Tools section. The first button is Text to Columns. This button will separate words into 2 columns. To try this type you first and last name in one cell. Then click the Text to Columns button. It will open the Convert Text to Columns Wizard.
The first step of the wizard has you tell Excel how your words are separated in the cell. I need to click Fixed width because I just used a space. Then click next. In the next window lets you set the column widths. You can adjust the widths by moving the arrows. When finished click next for the third window. The third window has you set the type of cell format, ie: text, currency, etc. make your selection and click finish. It will return you to your spreadsheet with all of the selected cells separated into 2 cells.
The next button is Remove Duplicates. If you have columns in your spreadsheet that may have duplicate data you can click the Remove Duplicates button and the Remove Duplicates window will open.
In the Remove Duplicates window check the boxes next to the columns you would like the duplicate data removed. Then click OK and all duplicates will be deleted from the spreadsheet.
The next button in Data Tools is Data Validation. The Data Validation button prevents invalid data from being entered in cells. Click the down arrow on the Data Validation button to see the options then click on the Data Validation option. This will open the Data Validation window to the settings tab. In this tab you can customize the data that you will allow to be entered into the cells you have selected. The down arrow under Allow will let you make your selections. Some examples are decimal, whole numbers, date, time, text or you can customize. After making a selection The Data selections will no longer be grayed out. Use the drop down arrow to select the type of data allowed. Depending on the selection made will depend on the variables you will be allowed to enter. I selected between. This gave me a minimum and maximum text box to fill in. I typed 3.2 in the mininum and 5.7 in the maximum.
Now click on the Input Message tab. If the check box is marked it will let you customize a message that will appear when the cell with data validation is selected. The message will appear like a note. The title will be bold at the top and the message will appear below. If the check box is not marked there will be no message displayed to tell the user of the data valitation for the cell.
Click on the Error Alert tab. I would recommend always checking the box to show an error when invalid data is entered. It this box is not checked the user will not know why the data will not show up in the cell. Once the box is checked use the drop down arrow in the style section to choose the icon that will appear in a pop up window when invalid data is entered. Then type the title and message in the text boxes. Click Ok once you have entered the title and message. Now type a number that is invalid and press enter. You should get a window similar to this.
If you choose not to have an error alert to prevent invalid data from being entered you can have the data circled. Click the down arrow on the data Validation button in the drop down menu click the Circle invalid data option. You will need to go back and change you settings in the data validation window to allow invalid data to be entered. When the invalid data is entered a red circle will be placed around the cell. To clear the circles use the last option Clear Validation Circles.
The next button is Consolidate. This button is used to merge spreadsheets. In order for the consolidate button to work the data being consolidated needs to be in identical order in the two worksheets. When the data is in the same order click the consolidate button this will open the Consolidate window. In this window use the drop down menu in the Function section. Select the function you would like preformed when the data is merged. In the Reference section you have the option to click the table button just to the right of the text box to select a section of cells in the current workbook or click the Browse button to open a different work book to make you selection. After the selection is made click the add button to add the cells to the All references section of the Consolidate window. Check either top row or left column to tell Excel where your labels are located in the spreadsheets you are going to merge. Click OK when you are finished. The will take all of the data in each selected worksheet and perform the selected function and place the answer in the selected cells on the active worksheet.
The What-If Analysis tool in Microsoft Excel 2007 gives you the option to use different values in one or more formula to view the results. There are three options to choose from. We will go through each one individually.
Click the down arrow on the What-If Analysis button and select Scenario Manager. This will open the Scenario Manager window. Once scenarios have been entered they will appear in the scenarios section of the window.
I am using a simple spreadsheet to calculate a mortgage payment and comparing interest rates to see how it will affect the payment.
If a scenario has not already been created click the add button. This will open the Add Scenario window. Type a name for your scenario in the Scenario name field. In my example I am using the percentage for the name. I typed 4.25% for the first scenario I created then created two more using 5.5% and 6.75%. In the Changing cells field type the cell or cells name(s) that you would like to see how changing them will affect your formula. I changed cell A3 in my example. You can also click the graph icon to the right of the Changing cells text box to select the cells. By clicking the icon the Excel spreadsheet will be activated for you to select any cells you wish without having to type the cell reference. The comment box allows you to type a comment for your reference when making changes to the scenarios. Once you have entered all of the information click OK and the Scenario Values window will open.
In the Scenario values window type the number you would like to replace the current value in the selected cell. Click OK to return to the Scenario manager window. Add a couple more scenarios then click Summary.
The Scenario Summary window will open. In this window select the way you would like your scenarios to be displayed and click OK.
This will open a new tab spreadsheet titled scenario summary. It will look something like this.
The next option in the What if Analysis is Goal Seek. If you know the result that you want from a formula, but are not sure what input value the formula needs to get that result you use the Goal Seek option in the What if Analysis button.
First we need to set up the spreadsheet to use the goal seek option. In your Excel spreadsheet enter the formula you would use to calculate a loan payment. In Cell A1 type Loan Amount, Cell A2 type Term in Months in Cell A3 type Interest Rate and in cell A4 type Payment. In cell B1 type the amount that you want to borrow. In cell B2 type the term you want to pay off the loan. In cell B4 type =PMT(B3/12,B2,B1) Now set the B3 cell to a percentage by clicking % button in the number section of the Home tab.
Click on the down arrow of the What if Analysis button and select Goal Seek. This will open the Goal Seek window. In the Set cell text box enter cell B4. In the To Value text box type the amount that you would like your payment to be. Type this amount as a negative number since it is a payment. In the By changing cell text box type B3. Click the OK button to return to your spreadsheet and see what your interest rate will be on the loan.
The last option in the What If Analysis button is Data Table. A data table is a range of cells that shows how changing one or two variables in your formulas will affect the results of those formulas. It helps you explore a set of possible outcomes in a worksheet. It lets you look at a range of possibilities easily. A data table can only accommodate 2 variables. The rows or columns that the variable data is entered in is important when using the Data Table feature.
As an example I put together a table using a loan calculation formula. For the data table it will calculate the payments for the different interest rates. I entered the interest rates I would like calculated in column C. Highlight the column with the variable data along with the cell that the formula is entered into and the cells adjacent to the variables as shown. Click on the What-If-Analysis button and select Data Table. It will bring up the Data Table window. This is a Column based data table. In the example I would enter cell B3 by either typing it in the Column input cell or clicking on the table button next to the text box and selecting the cell from the worksheet. Once you have selected or entered the cell Click the OK button and you will return to your Excel workbook with the payments for the additional interest rates calculated in the D column.
The next section in the Data tab is Outline. Click the next arrow to continue to the Outline section.

I am a single 37-year-old female living in Maine. I recently lived in Massachusetts, working from home as a medical transcriptionist. I loved the area, 15 mins from the ocean and close to family. What I didn't love was living in an apartment with paper-thin walls. In 2012, I began struggling to stay awake during the day and saw several specialists for it. With prescription stimulants and frequent naps, I was still fighting sleep and my work production declined. In 2013, I stumbled upon the tiny house movement and initially thought it was a cute novelty. Then, as my neighbors got louder and I started losing money at work, it became an attractive option. I found a trailer on Craigslist and moved back in with my parents to save money for the build. That year I also decided to go back to school for medical coding because, obviously, I didn't have enough on my plate… The sleepiness continued to worsen and eventually I had to resign from my job.
I have been diagnosed with 5 sleep disorders (still whittling them down). Luckily, I have been put on a med that helps considerably and I have been able to continue with school. So, with a small inheritance from my grandmother and a Home Depot Project Loan, I have decided to push forward with the tiny house dream. I should be finished with school this fall and hope to find a job soon after. I still have bad days but I've set up a good routine that's flexible and I can work around them.
On a more personal note, I am an avid crafter (sewing and knitting). I enjoy playing guitar, building computers, and reading. I have had pet bunnies and hope to have another in the future. …bunny or child, whichever comes first… though a bunny seems like better odds at this point. I value God and family above all.

Himalayan Salt Lamps
I highly recommend getting Himalayan Salt Lamps for ones bedroom and home. Himalayan salt purifies ones room by drawing water molecules from the air to the surface of the salt lamp. The salt is warmed by the bulb and a gentle chemical reaction takes place. Healthy negative ions are released into the air, counteracting the positive ions from electrical equipment such as TVs, phones and computers. The air is purified which means airborne bacteria, mould, viruses, allergens as well as respiratory irritants and asthma triggers cannot survive in the negatively charged environment. Having a purified environment one feels less susceptible to mood swings and negativity creating a serene environment. Himalayan Salt also Enhances meditation and clears the heart chakra
Chakra- Heart, Higher Heart

Profiles in networking: Puneet Mehta
A series of occasional profiles on networking professionals who stand out from the pack continues with security systems architect Puneet Mehta, who advises networking professionals to never have a false sense of security.
|Puneet Mehta
Name: Puneet Mehta
Lives: Norwalk, Conn.
Title: Security architect for enterprise security systems provider SBG Corp.
Age: 26
Education: BA in business studies, University of Delhi; master's in management information systems, University of Delhi.
Got started in the business when: I began as a system administrator working on enterprise networks, and from there gradually began to learn more about security and soon I became immersed in it.
Toughest networking crisis: One company had hired us to break into their network from the outside. But not everyone knew that we were trying to do this. So we were all in a nearby hotel, when there was a knock on the door. It was the local police. The system people had traced us back to the hotel and the police wanted to know what we were up to. Luckily, we had all the authorization papers with us so no one went to jail.
Favorite piece of hardware or software: I love to sniff a lot. To me the underlying technology is more important than the box. I like to know what is happening and how. That gets me motivated to learn.
Non-computer job experience: I've never had a job that wasn't related to computers.
Hobbies: As much as it is a hobby, working with Internet security organizations.
Favorite song: Anything by Pearl Jam
Favorite movie: "The Saint"
Favorite book: "Crypto: How the Code Rebels Beat the Government Saving Privacy in the Digital Age," by Steven Levy
Networking mentor: Jayesh Laad. I met him at my first job, and though he was more senior than me, he always treated me as an equal. He taught me about networks and always encouraged me to learn. To this day, if I face a problem I go to him for advice.
Advice for new networking administrators: Never have a false sense of security. People think that because things are behind a firewall they are safe, but the statistics show that most hacks come from within the company itself. You have to keep your eyes open all the time.
What do you like best about your career: It keeps you on your toes and it brings out the best in you. It is really about how open you are to things and how aware you are of everything you need to know.
What do you like the least: This is a thankless job. People just don't appreciate what you've done at the end of the day because you are preventing something from happening.

Automatron equipment can now use ballistic weave
My mod now works with another mod that allows you to wear equipment under certain helmets, go check it out here: remember to load their mod last if you want them to work together.
I love the Mechanist constume, but I find it annoying how the helmet cannot have ballistic weave on it. Also I wanted my companion to wear the eyebot helmet I had, but it also had the same problem. Well, I fixed that. Now these three items can have ballistic weave on them:
Eyebot helmet
Sentry bot helmet
Mechanist's helmet
Assaultron helmet
Have anything else from Automatron DLC than you want to have ballistic weave on? Comment, I might do it!
This should work with all other mods, all I do is add some attributes to the helmets to make them have ballistic weave.

In this post we will focus on IELTS Writing Task 2, and we will look at four areas: facts and figures you need to know about this part of the IELTS Writing test; common topics that you can expect to see; how to go about writing your essay; and finally, we will look at a sample essay question for you to answer.
Category: Writing
IELTS Writing: Make every word count
Read this post to learn how to make every word counts in IELTS Writing.
IELTS Writing: How important is spelling?
In this post I will focus on two areas where it is easy to lose marks in both General Training and Academic Writing. The first is the word count, and the second is spelling and punctuation.
IELTS Writing: The 4 keys to success
Whether you are taking IELTS Academic or General Training, you will need to write a 250 word essay in the Writing Part 2. You will perform much better if you understand what the examiner is looking for — and then deliver it.
IELTS Writing: Boost your score by reading
'Reading and writing cannot be separated from each other: the more in-depth reading you do, the more in-depth writing you will eventually do.' The University of Washington points to a clear link between reading and writing. Reading exposes you to different styles; it shows you how grammar is used correctly; and it helps you to build vocabulary and use it accurately. But to get the maximum benefit for your IELTS Writing test, you need to use reading as a source for focused writing activities. Read on for an example of how you can do this.
IELTS Writing: The problems with too many words
For some candidates, it's very tempting to write as much as they can in the one hour given in the Writing section — they want to really showcase their range of vocabulary and their ability to write long sentences. But do long essays really get you a better band score?
IELTS Writing: The most difficult paper?
It's difficult to go seriously wrong with the Reading and Listening tests in IELTS. Even if you have trouble understanding the text or the audio, the question paper gives you a pretty clear idea of what you need to write. And if you're not sure, you can always guess. With the Speaking test, you'll answer a series of questions, so even if you make a mistake with one of them, you'll get another chance with the next question. Writing Task 2 is different — If you fail to understand the question, and go off on the wrong track, you could score no marks at all. And that could mean missing the band score you need.
Let's start by looking at a sample Writing Task 2 question.
IELTS Writing: The easiest way to fail
The easiest way to fail to get the band score you need is to go into the test without fully understanding what is required of you.
IELTS Writing: Writing overview sentences
"In Academic Writing Task 1, it is very important to start by providing an overview of the data. If you don't do this, you will lose points." — Simon Cockell, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman
In this post we will look at what this means, and how you can use your data overview to get your IELTS Writing test off to a flying start.
