No Budget Marketing
In the fascinating worlds of low life pimping and high finance, there is a saying… more of a mantra. "Scared money don't make money." Basically, one must accept risk in order to reap rewards. But what if you don't have any money? Luckily for you, it's also commonly held that time equals money, and unless your dead and reading this from the beyond, you have some time. Using the transient property, we can conclude that spending your time being complacent or afraid is not a good use of time or a way to acquire wealth. Continue reading

Published 10 January 2013 | Standard notes SN02959
Authors: Sally Lipscombe
Topic: Crime, Crimes of violence, Criminal law
A householder who confronts and kills an intruder may be liable to a charge of murder or manslaughter. If the intruder is only injured, the householder could face charges such as assault, wounding or even attempted murder. However, the householder has a complete defence (and will therefore be acquitted) if the force he used was reasonable and was exercised either in defence of himself or another, or in the prevention of crime.
Over the last ten years there have been repeated calls from a number of Conservative backbenchers for the current test of "reasonable force" to be replaced with a test under which householders would not be prosecuted unless their actions were "grossly disproportionate". Critics have argued that a change to "grossly disproportionate" could encourage vigilantism and would effectively sanction extrajudicial punishment.
The Government is now proposing to legislate (via the Crime and Courts Bill) to introduce a new "grossly disproportionate" test in relation to cases involving householder who use force to defend themselves or others against intruders. Justice minister Lord McNally said that "householders should be given the benefit of any doubt" and that so long as householders did "only what they believed was reasonable in the circumstances, it should not matter if those actions were disproportionate when viewed with the benefit of hindsight". Shadow justice minister Lord Beecham, however, argued that the change would only introduce uncertainty into the existing law, as the distinction between "disproportionate" and "grossly disproportionate" was unclear.

The Independence of the Bank of England
As the Governor of the Bank tried to stand against moral hazard, inflationary spread of the results of unnecessarily acquired risk, and market-warping interference from political agendas, the Labour regime required the Bank of England to underwrite 10 years of Brown's personal mismanagement of the British economy.
We will all contribute to paying the depositors of Northern Rock their savings. We will pay a higher and longer-running debt in the impoverishment of all our lives by the uncomprehending refusal of these peripheral socialists and their hangers- on to accept that their utopia was a realised nightmare overthrown by its own long -sedated victims, not an ideological dream's subversion by the economic efficiencies imposed by the capitalist world.
The Bank of England is not independent and the best service its wholly proper and estimable Governor can offer now is to underline its subservience to the Brown regime and resign.

HG - Interesting article in the Spectator - http://tinyurl.com/29w3ks - on the new "political class" (our dear friends of ZaNuLab. My ex has worked for the DWP and predecessors for 15 year; she says THEY all knew Brown was an incompetent arsehole from way back (tax credits for starters). Hoping to get some recent propaganda (you may have seen some old stuff on Lilith's blog) from her (they get loads - glossy expensive brochures about how wonderful it is to work for the DWP. Look like they cost a fortune. Meanwhile, they get another under-inflation pay settlement whilst the fat cats sit back and purr.
It makes me mad.

Hello Elby, I read the post at Lilith's, and Sackerson noted it too. Just as the constitution is irreversibly wrecked so too is any sense of public service or an ethic of even-handedness towards all when operating state-derived powers.
Reading the Northern Rock Foundation self satisfied self-description with its plethora of outreach, goals, fundamental aims, tackling inequality (self-defined), its making-people feel- better -about -themselves, when feeling ashamed of themselves for reducing working people to poverty via unforgiveably high tax and redistribution rates would be a better focus, is an unpleasant reminder of just how far hauntingly horrible fascist authoritarianism posing as social concern has become
the mindset of the welfare and welfare -wages population.
And now we have not just the home-grown lot and their wimmin, but the sucking in of hundreds of thousands of welfare seekers whose source has been cut off in their own countries.
A friend who was hurriedly removing their savings from what had been assumed to be a bank, not a Labour front organisation for extending welfare status to the world and his wife in north-east England, was told by city friends not to bother because never and then never would such a heartland Labour institution be allowed to face the consequences of its behaviour.

The BoE has now completely thrown in the towel and told all comers they can come and get some cash as long as they have some mortgage collateral to flash in their faces. Which is something Mervyn King has said the BoE would never do unless we were so deeply in the shit that things couldn't actually get any worse.

Elby, there are many people who are untouched by hoods like `Brown and his repellent regime and hangers on and supporters. Lives are certainly affected insofar as they do not take the course they might have done - but they are completely impervious to the kind of thought and actions followed by these kinds of people; behaving properly isn't something 'Labour' begins to understand; it's a very old dilemma, as you know, for authoritarians, how to sell themselves as decent when they are obviously disgusting and decent people keep showing them up.

Ohio State anticipates the return of Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Miller on Saturday to conclude the non-conference portion of its schedule. Sidelined with a sprained knee ligament, Miller expects to get the kinks out on Saturday afternoon as the third-ranked Buckeyes tune up for Big Ten play by hosting FCS representative Florida A&M. Senior quarterback Kenny Guiton didn't miss a beat last week as he threw for four touchdowns - including a school-record 90-yard scoring strike to Devin Smith on the team's second offensive play - in Ohio State's 52-34 triumph over California last week.
With Miller expected back at quarterback, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer did his best to insert some intrigue to this likely one-sided affair by creatively dancing around Guiton's potential participation on Saturday. "If (Kenny) is one of the best 11, you have an obligation to get him on the field a bit," Meyer said. Florida A&M enters this daunting matchup on the heels of consecutive losses - including a 27-20 setback to Samford last week.
TV: Noon ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: None.
ABOUT FLORIDA A&M (1-2): The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference representatives will be hard-pressed to keep pace with the explosive Buckeyes after mustering just nine first downs and 219 yards of total offense last week. Junior Damien Fleming has struggled mightily, throwing five interceptions while rolling up only 383 yards this season. Florida A&M has scored 54 points combined in its three games this season, which sits just nine better than Ohio State's average.
ABOUT OHIO STATE (3-0): While the passing game garners headlines, running back Jordan Hall sits just three yards shy of his career-best total of 405 - which was set in 2011. The senior rolled up 168 yards last week and doubled his touchdown total by scoring three times. Guiton has chipped in with 181 on the ground as Ohio State has averaged 285.3 rushing yards, which sits 13th-best in the nation.
1. Ohio State's 15-game winning streak is the longest in major college football. Its last loss came against Florida in the 2012 Gator Bowl.
2. Should Florida A&M pull off the substantial upset, it will mark the second time that it has defeated an FBS team. The Rattlers posted a 16-13 triumph over Miami in 1979.
3. Smith continues to make every catch a damaging one for the opposition. The junior is averaging a whopping 19.7 yards per reception - which actually sits as a career low.
PREDICTION: Ohio State 59, Florida A&M 7

Morton's The Steakhouse - King of Prussia
Online Reservations
We received what we wanted, nice specials and very good food.
Came for special dinner offer. It was terrific. Friendly service. Will come back to Morton's again.
Our first encounter with Morton's steakhouse was the aroma wafting through the mall. I knew I wanted to dine there. When our anniversary rolled around I thought to myself perfect timing. Service, quality of food and selection were far more than I had expected. Thank you for making our night even better and more special than orginally planned!
Ya know, every time I go here we have a good meal but would I say that 3 people should eat for 320.00 ( including tip) No, not quite worth it I'm afraid. I could order a filet at white dog that would be just as good if not better for much less Still think it is the best of the overpriced steak houses
Morton's is still the best of the "steak chains"for us. We wanted a casual bite, not a big meal -so we decided to have salads & burgers at Morton's. The salads remain large, fresh, & pretty - my tomato & onion with crumbled bleu cheese was excellent & my wife's chopped salad was equally fine. The burgers were smaller than we remembered them to be, although we haven't had them in quite a while. They're tasty & came with a large pile of fresh lettuce, tomato & onion. The mixed berries are always delicious for dessert, & their espresso's better than passable (unusual at any large restaurant or chain, in our experience). And the staff continue to be warm, welcoming, accommodating & caring. It's not haute cuisine, but sometimes that's good.
Very Nice atmosphere. Great for that special occasion.
Put so much time and care into our experience! Made my father a personalized happy birthday menu with his name on it, gave him a dessert, and took $15 off the bill for 'special occasion.' Steak was very good.
We are regulars at Morton's because they treat us like kings...even know what we prefer...and give us ultimate service. Yes, it is a little pricy, but the food and the attention and every meal a memorable event. .
The tuna tower's fine, the crab cakes even better, the salads are great, & the new sides are already staples. Of course, the beef is the essence of a Morton's dinner & it's still mighty fine. Add the best staff in the industry (at least the large scale, corporate-run restaurant business) & you get an excellent meal every time. But Morton's also offers the flexibility of a local place - they made plain grilled chicken for one of our party who wasn't feeling so great, & it was as beautiful & well presented as our off-the-rack dishes. We always feel at home & we never leave unsatisfied (except for the continuing saga of the background music, which this time included an alternatingly annoying & soporific mix of elevator, disco, & pop covers).
The staff at his location is excellent..Carly, Hostess, was very pleasant; she has great personality for being a hostess. I always like to dine at the bar, I found Brittany & Joe, Bartenders, to be very professional, helpful, and friendly. Christoper, Manager, came over to welcome me and say hello. Ordered the Summer Menu; it was fabulous; 5 cheese onion soup was great; I love the Morton's salad; the romaine was very fresh & I loved the bleu cheese chunks & dressing; my filet came out exactly the way I wanted...rare....it melted in my mouth; my raspberry souffle was very good; Brittany offered me a few raspberries to add to it; it was a very nice touch. If I didn't live in NJ, I would definitely frequent this Morton's a few times a week!
Went for my Mom's 91st birthday. Staff was excellent telling her Happy Birthday by name. Spent extra time with her and made us all feel great
They helped to make a celebration for our niece a big deal. The staff was wonderful and the food perfect!
Every time we dine at Morton's it is excellent!! Service was exceptional as usual. The food always is outstanding. It was our daughters birthday dinner and everyone went way above making it so special for her. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Excellent service. They were prompt and very accommodating. Made our special day great. Food was good and reasonably priced for comparable restaurants.
What a fantastic dinner! I went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and everyone was very welcoming and congratulated us. Service was beyond fantastic and we hardly waited for anything. The servers thoroughly explained our personalized menu to us and the ambiance was very quiet and romantic. A perfect place for a special evening! It was a little pricey, but definitely worth it. The food was to die for!!
As long as Morton's remains this good, we don't even think about other steakhouse chains. We eat here at least once or twice a month because we know what we'll get & we love it. What distinguishes the top tier from the rest is consistency in quality - they do it well every single time (actually, they do it medium rare, but you get my point). We vacillate between 4 & 5 overall stars because we know this isn't haute cuisine & it doesn't reflect the depth of knowledge, skill & experience in the world's top restaurants. So we feel a bit silly giving well shucked oysters, simple salads & a great steak as high a rating as we give top chefs' places. But Morton's is as close to fine dining as steak gets & we often prefer it to "finer" meals @ 2x$.
The service was very attentive but, not intrusive. The filets were prepared and served to order. The salad and side dishes were a perfect accompaniment. There is a high noise level but, it is bearable. All attendants were most efficient and gracious. The delicious dessert was complimentary for our special anniversary occasion.
Service was excellent, food was very good as expected. The resturaunt staff knew it was our anniversary and helped make it a special occassion. A little pricey for us to make it a regular dinner spot.
Morton's, or similar steakhouses are just to expensive for day to day dining, but for a special occasion its fantastic! I booked on open table and listed my occasion as "anniversery"...they gave us a private table away from the families and even printed Happy Anniversery on the menu for us. Nice touch! Morton's also comped us one of the desserts...
Met some friends here for dinner after work; fantastic experience. Food was delicious, service was prompt and friendly, and atmosphere was enticing, not loud but just loud enough. Would gladly go again!
This was an excellent value for Morton's. Everything was delicious and the menu choices were great.
While the food was very delicious and well presented we thought the service could have been better and a bit more attentive to the table
I have been to all the major players in the category and this one always me feel as if I have been ripped off the least. Everything is delicious and you really feel like a VIP. However, it really is an extravagance from an expense standpoint.
My husband wanted a great steak and lobster and great is what he got!!! Although Morton's is very $$$$, it was all worth it...the only downside, it's an hour drive away....I asked for a quiet table and got it..our menu was printed up with Happy Birthday Scott at the top..and we got a complimentary DELISH! chocolate cake dessert!!! Wonderful night out!!! Joanne from Lancaster, pa
We chose the baked seafood assortment and it was delicious. The dressed baked potato was huge even though we shared. The vegetable entrée was just right. Service was terrific and beverages were refilled in a timely manner. Extensive wine offerings. Recommended for adults. Great place to celebrate a special occasion or have a quiet dinner.
A little hard to find the restaurant on the outskirts of a huge shopping mall. Once found, very quiet inside. Friendly but not over bearing staff. Food was outstanding, however pricey. The steak was exactly as I wanted it!
I was disappointed by the fact that I had to ask twice to have my My water filled. Even tho several ppl came to our table one I believe was matre d and other maybe a manager. At one point I even took my boyfriends. There was a group of 25-30 ppl and everyone was more foxused on them.
this was our first time at Morton's and definitely not our last. Our son's birthday was memorable, from a personalized menu of delicious food to a family photo by our wonderful servers. I highly recommend dining at Morton's
Great food and ambience. A celebration dinner for my busband's birthday and as always a great evening with delicious cuisine and wines. Excellent service by John as always,
We started with the seafood app for two. Quality was good, portions were small. We both had filet mignon. Mine was the weirdest shape I ever had, it was kidney shaped. I have had better Steaks at the other steak houses. Advantages: parking great at King of Prussia.
Morton's in K of P is a terrific restaurant -- especially if you've won the Powerball jackpot. Even among primo steakhouses, this place is really pricey. Twelve bucks for each side dish ... $12.50 for carrot cake ... fifteen bucks for a cocktail ... $57 for a steak. Ouch! Look, the food is delicious (except my wife found her lamb chops tough). The service is wonderful. But unless you just inherited a fortune or struck it rich in the lottery, you might do better dining at one of the other, equally first-rate steakhouses in the area.
Overall the food was great but not flawless. The crab cocktail was delicious, the steaks were perfectly cooked, and potatoes were yummy. But the $12 broccoli was a huge, barely cooked tree and the chocolate mousse was a little grainy and lumpy. I wouldn't be so picky at all if it wasn't so expensive. But even with a $100 gift card we still had to put $150 in! 2 people shared appetizer, shared dessert, got 1 drink a piece. Next time I would probably choose to use that same amt of money and go out to eat two or three different times.
I took my daughter out to dinner as sort of a belated birthday present on saturday 10-12-13. We were very excited as neither of us had been there before. We ordered the Ahi Tuna Tower appetizer which was delicious and just the right size for sharing before a meal. The meal was very good, but to be honest I have had great meals before at other restaurants for much less $$. The layout of the dining area was much like that of an Outback or Longhorn Steakhouse with the lights turned down low, which in my opinion detracted fromt the ambience. Although I am not a wine drinker the wine list looked to be impressive. Our service was very good although the waitress forgot to pick up my second drink from the bar. Overall, a bucket list stop for me.
Always a great meal and experience, and the people are so friendly.
My girlfriend and I went to Morton's to celebrate our Anniversary and it was an amazing experience. The good was delicious and the service was outstanding. Never disappointed with Morton's.
We had an excellent dining experience celebrating our daughter passing he PA & NJ Bar Exam. Warmly greeted, great service. Lost count of the number of staff who came over to the table to congradulate her on on this huge accomplishment.
It was so nice how they made us feel so special when we walked in. They greeted us with a "Happy Anniversary" and they had menus printed that said, "Happy Anniversary!" They sat us in a booth which is our favorite place to sit there. We love Mortom's and love how they made us feel so special!
Service wonderful, food amazing, great parking, Wonderful atmosphere.
We went for something nice before Friday-date-night at the movies. Burger was Amazing, appetizers and happy hour special at the bar are a wonderful deal to eat some good food in an area where there really isn't much else but cheap chain restaurants and mall food.
We chose Morton's for our anniversary dinner. We thought this restaurant had a good reputation and decided to give it a try. Every aspect of the dining experience exceeded our expectations! The server, hostess, and Maitre d' each wished us a happy anniversary which was a lovely personal touch. We both thought our appetizers were outstanding. Our entrees were perfect, as were the side dishes, desserts, and special drinks that we tried. I would recommend Morton's for a special night out. You will not be disappointed.
We were there for a special anniversary dinner and Morton's went above and beyond to make it special! Food was outstanding!
Despite our continuing fears that Landrys will undo what Arnie Morton & his organization spent decades building, Morton's is still Morton's & we're still loving it. The staples remain as good as ever - the filet is as good a steak as you'll get short of truly high end specialty meats like Sanda beef, which runs 10 times the price of Morton's steaks. We cautiously tried some of the new menu items, & they're actually great - the beet salad is excellent & the wild mushroom mix is wonderful. As always, the staff are without peer. We enjoy visiting with them as much as we do having dinner there.
Steaks great. Loved the mac &cheese. Lindseys service was great.
Food was excellent, service was even better. Had the steak and lobster special and enjoyed every bite. Our server, Nicole, was terrific -- very friendly, attentive, and helpful. She is among the top servers we have ever had. The young gentleman with the water also deserves mention; he is probably under recognized for his role but he did an excellent job keeping our drinks topped off. Overall, our experience was a 10, as most of our Morton's experiences have been.
We went to Morton's as we usually do to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Everything, was perfect! Thnaks !
We travel each Christmas with our friends to the King of Prussia Mall and spend the week-end shopping for the holidays and always eat at Morton's ...and always a wonderful meal, service and atmosphere ....and will continue to do so....thank you, Dianne Stultz....this year our friends were not able to come but we still enjoyed the experience....
Morton's does a great job in making you feel special on your special day. They personalize the menu, offer you a free dessert and take your picture as a momento from the night. The food is excellent - best steak I have ever had. Definitely a splurge as far as proving, but worth it for a nice dinner or celebrating an occasion.
Went there again this year for Thanksgiving and if you like steak this is the place to go. Earl took care of us and it was a great evening
This was the first time we decided not to cook for Thanksgiving and the experience was great! Our server was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us.
superb food and service0tough to beat-Waiter Earl was great

Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
It will be at least a day before three people can go back home after a fire early this morning.
The fire broke out at a Duplex on West End Avenue. That's on the west side of the Springs.
Firefighters tell 11 News the fire started in the chimney after the residents were burning trash in the fireplace. Investigators tell us the fire started in a pipe and quickly spread up the chimney. It is unclear if the embers reignighted or if the fire was left unattended.
The chimney had not been inspected in over two years, and the fire department recommends having a chimney inspection annually.
Three adults who live in the Duplex were able to get out.
One firefighter was hurt when part of a wall fell on her. She is expected to recover.
Firefighters are still assessing a damage estimate, however, they say the fire was contained to the chimney.

Review: Reading the Bible Through New Covenant Eyes by Alan Bondar
Alan Bondar's first book is a good primer volume that presents the full Preterist interpretation of New Testament prophecy. For those not familiar with the position, it asserts that all of the prophecies of the New Testament (and a good portion of those in the Old) were fulfilled in the first century (preterist, basically being the Latin term for "past"). For the full preterist, these prophecies include what is commonly called the Second Coming of Christ, which they claim was fulfilled "invisibly" or "symbolically" in the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple in A.D. 70. For them, there is no more "second coming" in our future. We are in the full Messianic Era, the New Heavens and Earth, now!
Bondar did not come to this position easily. In fact, according to his acknowledgements, he was converted to this position during the course of writing this book.
The first three chapters of this book were the contents of that original, incomplete manuscript. My intention was to help people learn to read the Bible in context. I had a totally different direction in mind for the rest of the book. But as I began to put my own words into practice, I realized that my intended conclusions for the rest of the book were not being drawn from my prescribed method of reading the Bible
That change in direction is the strength and weakness of the book. As a strength, it has helped in create a good and fairly non-technical introduction to the arguments in favor of this Eschatology. But the weakness remains that these first three chapters need some expansion, as I think they are critical to Bondar's position. It appears that Bondar rushed past them to get to the "good stuff" of presenting and defending Full Preterism. For the record, these three propositions are:
• The Bible was written to a particular audience
• The Bible was written in a particular time
• The Bible was written for our joy
I agree wholeheartedly with these three statements. But they are not drawn out nearly as much as I think they should be. If they are the base of his methodology, then they deserve more than the few pages they are given. For example, since, as Bondar claims—and I agree—most readers assume that he Bible was written directly to them, some of the techniques for breaking this engrained mental pattern should be presented. Accordingly, it is imperative when reading Paul to identify to whom his pronouns apply. Sometimes "we" may be the Apostles, sometimes it is Paul and his companions, sometimes it is the Jews, sometimes it is the entire church. If we assume "we" (pun intended) is always all Christians at all times, a misunderstanding of Paul is going to be the inevitable result. Indeed, Bondar uses this process in pages 213-218 when discussing 2 Corinthians 3 and 4. But it comes out of the blue. Though perhaps natural to Bondar, this methodology should have been explained in the first chapter. After all, it helps define exactly who is "the particular audience."
Second, though the methodology of Bondar's three statements led him to full Preterism, it is not clearly explained how! I think a new section transitioning to his defense of full Preterism is in order. I assume the time references to all the prophecies (soon, about to come, etc.) when combined with recognizing the first century audience receiving these words was a first century audience would make Bondar's case. Indeed, Alan may even say this is obvious. I would say, to the audience intended for this book—those not familiar with the position—this transition needs better clarification. I would put such a defense between the first three chapters and Bondar's later expounding of Full Preterism. In short, take the reader by the hand and help him learn the basic strokes before pushing them headfirst into the Preterist pool.
All that said, I think Bondar's book fills a much need gap for those who wish to discuss full Preterism, or at least explore the position. It is, as I said, a good introduction to the position that still gives some pretty weighty exposition and exegesis of the Scriptures should the reader wish to go deeper. Certainly it is much more "newbie" friendly than, say the works of Don Preston and some others in the Preterist camp.
In terms of its convincing ability, I cannot say as I am pretty much a full Preterist myself. My only hesitations are the more common Preterist interpretations of the Millenium of Revelation 20, their assertion that the New Covenant Age—and therefore the planet Earth—will last for eternity, and some measure of Gnostic rejection of the value of the physical creation over the a spiritualized existence in heaven. Nor are these explicit requirements of this eschatology, as Sam Frost—another full preterist—has noted them himself.
Overall, with these few criticisms aside, this is an excellent book. Its defense appears cogent and complete. Also, Bondar writes without the rancor one often finds in this camp against "the futurists." He is a gracious as well as a persuasive writer. Those looking to investigate Full Preterism could not find a better introductory volume. It is readable and enjoyable. I look forward to his next book.
Reading the Bible Through New Covenant Eyes can be ordered here. Note that the price varies as sometimes the publisher offers deals without notice. Also be aware that the book may take some time to be shipped—almost six weeks in my case—as it appears the publisher does a printing based on demand rather than doing a full run up front.
However, it is worth the wait. Well worth the wait.

From the back cover
In this brilliantly original story collection,
Rachel Sherman evokes the wonders and horrors of a young womans life,
from girl to teenager to adult, through crushes, sex, family, and the
agonies and ecstasies of finding ones way. The
First Hurt heralds the arrival of a singularly fresh and remarkably
assured new voice.
Sherman's beautifully direct and deceptively simple prose produces accessible,
shockingly real narratives that combine a disarming sexual edge with
great sensitivity and humor. From a high-school girl's crush on her
female teacher, to a family's serenity threatened by a sexy Danish au
pair, to a girl's sexually outrageous soldier penpal, all the way to
a young couple's horrifying yet life-affirming experience of learning
to love their brain-injured newborn twins, this collection wends its
way around the deepest of struggles with unusual frankness and wisdom.
Rachel Shermans stories are real wondersbrave,
dangerous fictions full of heart and wit. She gets to the creepy, despairing,
hilarious core of adolescence like few writers Ive read. This is an
amazing debut.
Sam Lipsyte
Rachel Sherman writes stories like splinters:
they get under your skin and stay with you long after youve closed
the book. These haunting stories are both wonderfully, deeply weird
and unsettlingly familiar.
Judy Budnitz
In this excellent first collection, the human
body is a promise of future happiness and a source of present embarrassment.
The prose is another matter: polished, poised, sure of itself. Its
a very grown-up way of recording the queasy intimacies, the frighteningly
raw perceptions, and the almost cosmic desolation of a suburban adolescence.
Benjamin Kunkel
"[Sherman's] pared-down yet oddly poetic prose
has the delicacyand the potential painof a dentist's glittering probe.
Even though her touch is light, when she hits the nerve, you flinch.
[These stories are] sharp, smart, and able to deftly limn the subtle,
shifting outlines of alienation and sorrow."
Yona Zeldis McDonough, Bookforum
"A startling debut collection...As in A. M. Homess
The Safety of Objects, the angst here
is set in well-groomed placesdevelopments, summer houses, manicured
streets...Shermans straightforward prose provides a contrast to her
characters unsettling behavior."
Lara Tupper, The Believer
here for full review)
Laser-cut narratives . . . Full of great, quirky
lines, the book would be a good read even if it did condescend to its
flawed characters, but it doesnt. Instead, it takes the constraints
of its context seriously, wondering not how its characters will escapetheir
bodies, their boring neighborhoods, their unreciprocated lustbut how
theyll behave when they cant.
Michael Miller, Time Out New
(click here for full review)
"If Sherman were a photographer, she'd be a paparazzo
exposing people's most desperately concealed flaws. But unlike a cold
soul with a zoom lens, the author renders her subjects clearly and empathetically,
and her airy, poetic prose is a perfect match for the brittle environments
she describes . . .The mood of the book is downcast, but Sherman's prose
never becomes melodramatically glum or tedious . . . Her melodic style,
rife with dream imagery, gives these stories a lifther deceptively
revealing dialogue and direct sentences lay her characters bare but
never pummel them."
"In a highly promising debut collection of stories,
Sherman writes of alienated lower-end white suburbia in a manner that
shifts perspectives with an effortlessness that mitigates her characters'
sad stuckness . . . By the time one reaches the last story . . . one
has given up any resistance to Sherman's grotesques and settled all
the way in to a very uncomfortable place."
Publishers Weekly
"[Sherman] seamlessly protrays the world of adolescent
girls who, on the brink of sexual experience, find themselves surrounded
by adults who cavort like teenagesrs. Sherman's writing is so refined;
it is a pleasure to find that her characters are not...Anyone who can
remember the stirrings caused by shoulders rubbing in homeroom, or the
agonies of squandered teenage love with find a companion in The
First Hurt."
Caroline Seklir, The Brooklyn
"Hilarious and disturbing . . . Sherman deals
with sexuality on candid terms, depicting the fine line between what
we want and what we know with precision. The simplicity of Sherman's
prose allows the reader speedy entry into the painfully familiar world
of adolescence and young adulthood. There are few fireworks here, but
no less bang."
Elizabeth Crane, Time Out Chicago
"Sherman's writing is sharp, hard, and honest;
there's a fearlessness in her work, an I'm-not-afraid-to-say-this quality.
Becasue she knows that most of us have thought the same but didn't have
the guts to say it."
Nina Maclaughlin, Boston Phoenix
"Rather than a mountain-steep line that stops
abruptly in adolescence, the learning curve of the human body is gradual
and endless. Each age offers its own set of embarrassments and obsessions;
the characters in Rachel Sherman's debut short-story collection are
no exception...Thankfully, these unsettling stories avoid florid descriptions
and tidy resolutions. Like her characters' own self-assessment, Sherman's
spare, detatched style yields a somewhat cold take on sexuality, reminiscent
of A.M. Homes and Mary Gaitskill."

A primary care physician is usually the first line of care an individual seeks for medical treatment.
Georgia currently ranks 41st in the nation of primary care physicians per 100,000 people, which is something Pheobe Putney's Dr. Doug Patten say's isn't good, "evidence shows that if you have good access to primary care physicians whether its pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, or OBGYN, if you have good access to primary care the overall health of the region is improved."
The South Georgia Medical Education and Research Consortium plans to bring more primary care physicians to southwest Georgia.
The Consortiums director, Jessica Rivenbark, explained how, "the way we're going to accomplish that goal is by developing physicians. Allowing them to do their graduate medical education training here, knowing that the majority of physicians stay in the area where they do clinical training to practice."
It's not every day you see the CEO's from 5 competing hospitals recognize a problem then come together to find a solution, but this is a joint venture between, Tift regional, South Georgia Medical Center, Archbold Memorial Hospital, Colquitt Regional, and Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
Patten says, "we all have this need in common, we all need more physicians and we're all community based hospitals that serve the needs of our communities and we all recognize that all our communities need more primary care."
Southwest Georgia currently only has 18 medical residency positions available, if all goes as planned that number could increase to 150 over the next 5-10 years alleviating the doctor shortage in Southwest Georgia.

The question is if you want to cut the lily when it covers only half of the pond, what day would it be?
The answer is it will be the twenty-ninth day: you will have only one day to save the pond -- and all life forms that depend on it.
The analogy is often invoked to illustrate the effects of population growth. However, I think it's an apt one for Map Ta Phut industrial estate too.
As the lily pond story illustrates, the way our ecology works is that you don't notice when resources are being depleted until the threshold to collapse is near. On the twenty-ninth day, half of the pond remains uncovered. There seems to be a lot of open water left when indeed the lily plants are choking the system and resources are being used up.
If we take this ecology approach and apply it to Map Ta Phut, we might see that the effects that we have seen can be but a tip of the iceberg _ a small lily plant that seems to pose no threat. If allowed to go on unchecked, however, the seemingly innocuous effects could choke the area's support system and probably overshoot it in such a short time it would be impossible for us come up with any mitigation measures.
The Map Ta Phut industrial estate was open in 1988. It has been home to heavy industries -- cement, petrochemical, iron and metals as well as refineries for two decades. There is no question that these industries have caused pollution. According to the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand's website itself, pollution problems have been registered since 2000. These include disturbing smell, drought and water shortage brought about a competition for water resources between the community and the industrial sector, shallow-well water contamination and health problems.
According to a column by Chang Noi, the impact of pollution on local people began to go out of control by that time.
``The incidence of leukaemia is five times the national average. Ten carcinogenic compounds are present in the atmosphere in high concentrations. An unusually large number of genetic defects are found among children born in the area. The National Cancer Institute documented high rates of respiratory disease and lung cancer. A 2006 report found that the accumulation of heavy metals in the local environment far exceeded safety levels-cadmium by six times, manganese by 34 times, lead by 47 times, iron by 151 times.''
As the government and business groups are trying to get around with the court's injunction which bars 76 industrial projects from operating in the 20,000-rai estate, they may have thought that there is still ``a lot of empty space'' and that they can probably wait a little longer before they start to cut back on the industrial growth. But a good environmental management student could have told them about the lily pond story. And they might figure out that they can't wait until half the pond is covered because then they will only have one day to save the industrial estate and all living things in the area.

Nijo Castle on a Lazy Sunday
"I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again." - Arthur Freed
It was a rainy Sunday in Tokyo. I couldn't nestle in my own fluffy bed and do Sunday things. No, I was far away from home, from my comfortable nest. I decided to do something easy and quick, alone: get on board the Shinkansen, the bullet train to Kyoto from Shinagawa Station.
Although I missed seeing the view of Mount Fuji (usually one can view it from the train for over an hour, but on this day it was draped with pouring rain), I was in Kyoto after a simple three-hour ride. The scent of wet cypress trees and cedar branches confirmed my arrival: I was so happy to be returning to Kyoto.
My Sunday stroll turned into a quick and minimized taxi ride straight from the train station to Nijo Castle. There, an efficient and well-maintained, white cotton slipcovered interior greeted me. Tokugawa Shogunate first built Nijo Castle in 1601. It was a home for Tokugawa Shoguns. During this period, Edo was the capital city, but Kyoto remained the home of the Imperial Court, which is located northeast of Nijo Castle (in later days, I finally visited the Katsura Imperial Palace by confirming a reservation).
Nijo Castle, like many other ancient castles, was destroyed and damaged throughout history. From 1788 to 1893 the castle stood empty and then became a prince's residence in 1893. Finally, in 1939, the palace was donated to the city of Kyoto and opened to the public in 1940.
The beautiful grounds of the castle felt appropriate for the rainy day, as I enjoyed being enveloped in an umbrella, alone. I can still hear the fine gravel making sounds as I took each step.
First, I reached the outer edges of the Ninomaru Palace where low-ranking visitors were received. Thereafter, I reached the more subtle inner chambers, which welcomed high-ranking visitors back in its glory. Visitors will first note the minimalism of the castle's design, which expressed intimidation and power to the Edo-period visitors. One of the most striking features of Ninomaru is the "nightingale floors" in the corridors. To protect the occupants from sneak attacks and assassins, the builders constructed the floors to squeak when one walks on them.
Because of the weather, the interiors were dark. I could only hear the visitors' footsteps, and raindrops hitting the pebbles out in the garden, soothing and melancholy. My Sunday visit to Nijo Castle was relaxing and memorable, and occasionally when I read my Sunday newspaper, I wish to have more of such inspiration on lazy Sundays.
