QUOGUE, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Step inside the pages of Life with an Accent and you'll be on a child's gripping journey from Berlin to the Middle East to America. By highlighting the true story of one naturalized American citizen, author Marilyn Gottlieb reminds readers polarized by immigration problems that our nation has been built upon the success of many refugees. The book is an emotional dip into the 20th century and a must-read for those exploring their own roots.

We start with Frank Levy, a toddler feeding pigeons in Venice and learning the importance of family while the world turns chaotic in 1936. By the time he is 13 Frank is a pro at starting over. He shifts languages and cultures, even changes his name in a life molded by happenings beyond his control. Wherever he goes he is marked by his accent. Stunning details make readers want to reach out to help the young boy assimilate.
When Frank adjusts, fate intervenes. He must reinvent himself again as an adult. Along the way he wins an award for sustainable technology. Efforts evoke stories from former times and the possibility of friendship between those who were once enemies, proving the past matters.
"People of all backgrounds will identify with the universal themes," says Odette Heideman, Editor of Epiphany literary journal. "Once I read it I immediately wanted to share it with my mother and daughter."
Carsten Ruepke, Head of Cultural Affairs, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Washington, D.C. says, "Issues arising from having to adapt to changing circumstances bear great relevance in today's globalized world. Life with an Accent contributes to this important discussion. It is a tale full of optimism and inspirational to us all."
Marilyn Gottlieb was director of public relations for Lintas and Ogilvy & Mather advertising agencies. A past member of the Board of Advertising Women of New York, she taught Public Relations at Manhattan's New School and was a docent at the Museum of Tolerance. In 2012 she received an MFA in Writing and Literature.
Life with an Accent: One Immigrant's Quest to Belong is listed on the Jewish Virtual Library and is available in paperback on www.amazon.com for $12.99 and ekindle for $9.99.

MyEclipse: EJB 2.x redeployment error to WAS 7

EJB 2.x redeployment error to WAS 7
We have a ear with a ejb 3.0 and ejb2.x specificaiton. We are able to deploy the ear with only the ejb 3.0 without any errors. When the ear is deployed with the ejb 2.x a redeploy error is displayed and is not deployed properly. The error states that the server must be stopped or another program is using the file to be deleted. As this is not that a case due to the server be cycled before each deployment and the user has access to the file (read and write); is there a preferences setting that needs to be adjusted on ear before deployment when working with ejb 2.x?

It is true that Israel officially disengaged from the Gaza Strip in August 2005, withdrawing its ground troops and evacuating the Israeli settlements there. But despite the absence of a permanent ground presence, it has maintained a crushing control over Gaza from that moment until today. The testimonies of Israeli army veterans expose the truth of that "disengagement."

"Embracing 'screw-both-sides' nihilism and doing nothing else [about the Israel-Gaza conflict] is so tempting because it appears to provide relief from the burden of paying any further attention to the horrific violence or bearing responsibility for any of it," but it means ignoring the U.S. government's total support for Israeli aggression, Glenn Greenwald writes.
"The Palestinian people want to be free of the occupation," award-winning Israeli journalist Gideon Levy summed up this week. It is that simple.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Bashar Al Assad have an important thing in common: When a part of the populations under their control rise up against them, they do not negotiate or compromise; they bomb the rebel civilians.
Twenty-one people were hurt Wednesday when a bus exploded in Israel's commercial capital, Tel Aviv, the first such attack in the city in six and a half years.
Israeli strikes have killed at least 116 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the last seven days, the majority of them civilians, including 27 children. As U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives in the region Tuesday to broker talks between Israelis and Palestinians, Hamas has demanded an end to the Gaza blockade and international assurances that Israel will stop assassinations and military measures.

The Russian ambassador to the United Nations on Monday said an unnamed country ("I'm sure you can guess which") was engaged in a "filibuster attempt" to block a statement condemning the violence in Gaza.
The drama unfolding in Gaza seems numbingly familiar. This time, however, there's a big and potentially tragic difference: Not even the actors—Palestinians and Israelis—can possibly know how it will turn out.

Gaza is a window on our coming dystopia.
Health officials quoted by The Guardian said that of the 21 Gazans killed in Israeli airstrikes Sunday, nine were children and four were women. Haaretz reports meanwhile that "the Israel Defense Force is continuing its intensive preparations for the ground phase of Operation Pillar of Defense."
The president and Congress reaching a "grand bargain" would mean significant cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; some Republican senators believe Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique on American citizens; meanwhile, millions showed up to the largest coordinated strike Europe has ever seen. These discoveries and more after the jump.

LONDON (Reuters) - If Beijing had been a warning for the Japanese, London was the Olympics where they well and truly lost their judo crown with resurgent Russian and jubilant French teams taking over the mantle as the dominant forces on the mat.
The question now is whether Japan, birthplace of the martial art, can turn it around again in Brazil in 2016 or if the rest of the world has caught up with or even overtaken them.
The Brazilians, the hosts in four years, are among an ever-growing clutch of strong judo nations and will be one of those to beat in Rio after bringing home two golds from London, including the first for a Brazilian woman.
Despite an inexperienced team, Japan were tipped to win more than half the 14 golds up for grabs in the seven weight categories for men and women, improving on the four won in Beijing which had been only half as many as in Athens.
But, things started badly when top seed Tomoko Fukumi left empty handed from the women's -48kg division and did not improve much during seven days of competition, with only Kaori Matsumoto managing to win a gold.
It was the first time that Japan had failed to win a men's judo gold since it became an Olympic sport in 1964 and not even rule changes which banned certain moves and had been expected to help them made a difference.
Contrast that with the fortunes of the Russians who had failed to win a single medal in Beijing and not won a gold since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
One of the most memorable sights of the tournament was that of an ecstatic Russian President Vladimir Putin, himself a black belt judoka, embracing Tagir Khaibulaev after he won his country's third judo gold.
"Russia's turnaround from bottom of the medal table in Beijing to top here in London is phenomenal," said the International Judo Federation, the sport's governing body.
That success has been put down to Italian coach Ezio Gamba, a gold medalist himself in 1980, who overhauled Russia's judo set-up and introduced a centralized training regime. Their men will now be the team to beat in Brazil.
"He (Gamba) is the magician who achieved what nobody did before," said Alexander Mikhaylin, who won silver in the men's heavyweight section.
France, where judo has long been hugely popular, had not recorded a gold since 2000, but two titles in London and an overall haul of seven medals secured in front of massive French support at the ExCel arena bodes well for the future.
They also boast the world's most outstanding judoka and one of the greatest fighters of all time in heavyweight Teddy Riner, who won gold and has lost just once since 2008.
As Japan faltered, other nations took advantage. South Korea took two titles while the United States ended their long wait for judo gold when Kayla Harrison took the -100kg title, a triumphant outcome for the 22-year-old who had been sexually abused by her childhood coach.
They are hoping it will prove a springboard for greater U.S. interest in the sport and more success in Rio.
"I hope that it means a million little kids in the United States sign up for judo, and I hope that we have seven Olympic champions," Harrison said.
Perhaps, however, the biggest talking point for judo in London did not involve any of the judokas, but the officials who had been desperate to avoid the controversial mistakes which dogged previous Games.
For the first time ever, a reviewing jury using video replays, overturned the decision of the referee and his two judges to award a quarter-final bout between South Korea's Cho Jun-Ho and Japan's Masashi Ebinuma to Cho.
A chorus of boos greeted the decision before it was reversed, setting a precedent for the future. "We want to make sure that the right fighter has won," the IJF's Nicolas Messner told Reuters.

When I saw this post last week I knew I had to share it with my readers. Jessica from Making Home Sweeter was so kind join us today as my guest poster to share with us the benefits of extended breastfeeding. I hope you find this post as informative as I have.
Photo credit |
Because of the culture we live in, mothers tend to think that their milk is no longer good or needed past the first birthday. In fact, in our culture, breastfeeding for the entire first year is looked at as quite an extensive amount of time. And it is wonderful if a child is so fortunate to be breastfed for this length of time. But I'd like to just share the many benefits of breastfeeding past the first 12 months of babyhood for those mothers who are interested and would like to know what difference it would make.
The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that babies be breastfed for at least the first year and the American Academy of Family Physicians notes that children weaned before two years of age are at an increased risk of illness. Former Surgeon General, Dr. Antonia Novella, stated "It is the lucky baby, I feel, who continues to nurse until he is two." And the World Health Organization says "a modest increase in breastfeeding rates could prevent up to 10% of all deaths of children under five: Breastfeeding plays an essential and sometimes underestimated role in the treatment and prevention of childhood illness." So as you can see, even though in our culture it is the norm to think of breastfeeding duration in terms of months, our very own health advisers recommend thinking in terms of years.
The benefits of breastfeeding definitely do not stop at one year. At one year of age, a child's immune system is only functioning at 60% of an adult level. Many mothers who wean at one year find that their baby starts to catch more colds than before while receiving breast milk. Breast milk in the second year continues to be a major source of not only immunity, but protein, fat, calcium, and vitamins. And for the breastfeeding toddler who catches a cold and does not want to eat or drink, breastfeeding is the optimal way to keep him hydrated and on the receiving end of mommy's immunity cells. Nursing toddlers also have a shorter duration of illness than their non-breastfeeding peers. This chart breaks down what breastmilk provides during the second year:
In the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk provides:
- 29% of energy requirements
- 43% of protein requirements
- 36% of calcium requirements
- 75% of vitamin A requirements
- 76% of folate requirements
- 94% of vitamin B12 requirements
- 60% of vitamin C requirements
-- Dewey 2001
The healing properties of breast milk are quite astounding. What science is only beginning to scratch the surface of, mothers have known for centuries. What exactly are a few things that a little breast milk can't help clear up? Diaper rash, cradle cap, ear ache, pink eye, sty, acne, scratches, clogged tear ducts. For more uses, check out this list entitled "57 Medicinal, Cosmetic, and other Alternative Uses for Breastmilk".
Another very cool fact is that a mother's breast milk immunity has been shown to increase the older her baby gets and nurses less, so that when her baby does nurse, he is still receiving lots of immune factors. I think that's pretty amazing!
There is also the benefit of avoiding allergies. Studies have shown that the later cow's milk and other common allergens are introduced into a child's diet, the less chance there is of allergic reactions.
One little known fact is that extended breastfeeding is beneficial for the mother as well. Mothers who breastfeed past infancy reduce their risk of the following: breast, ovarian, uterine, and endometrial cancers, breastfeeding protects against osteoporosis, and reduces the risk of rheumatoid arthritis just to name a few.
Some mothers believe the myth that extended breastfeeding will make for a dependent child, but this is actually far from the truth. Dr. Sears stated:
"We have studied the long-term effects on thousands of children who had timely weanings and have observed that these children are more independent, gravitate to people more than things, are easier to discipline, experience less anger, radiate trust...[after] studying the long-term effects of long-term breastfeeding, the most secure... and happy children we have seen are those who have not been weaned before their time."
It's important to keep in mind the psychological benefits of nursing as well. Nursing with mommy is a way for babies and toddlers to reconnect with their home base. Many nursing mothers of toddlers state that there is no quicker way to help soothe and calm an upset toddler than offering the breast. It is what cultures the world over have done for centuries and still do today. Hopefully it will begin to make a bigger comeback in our own culture and can be normalized once again.

Posted 3:53 PM 11/5/2012 : Thieves caught stealing ATM in Oro Valley
ORO VALLEY, Arz. - Two men are behind bars, suspected of trying to steal an ATM from a Chase bank in Oro Valley. However, an alert patrol officer put the brakes on the heist.
Paul Cox and Levar Mariner are charged with theft, criminal damage and possession of burglary tools. Police say the men are suspected in several other crimes all across Maricopa county. The ATM weighs 2,500 lbs.
They say 35-year-old Mariner and 46-year-old Cox were on their way to lifting the ATM when they were stopped in their tracks. Donna Curran, a Chase customer, says, "Does that say something about their desperation or their intelligence? I don't know."
Curran was walking along the path near the Chase bank when she came across Oro Valley Police officers who had a piece of equipment with them. "I thought they were looking for snakes or something, I asked them, 'What are you doing? What are you looking for?' as they were looking over the edge of the railing," Curran said. "They were looking for evidence. They were talking about tire tracks."
Police say on November 1, they received a tip from the Gilbert police department to be on the lookout for the suspects who were headed to Oro Valley. While on patrol, an OVP officer became suspicious when he noticed ATM cameras were spray-painted. Lt. Kara Riley says, "He then exited his vehicle and began checking the area and located two suspects running across Oracle and jumping a fence."
The suspects will appear tonight in video court here in Pima County, but they still face multiple charges in Maricopa County.

Priceless act of compassion....Must support...
Let's not forget it was also one of Tommy Bolin's finest moments on record. The delay effect he does with the tape machine on Quadrant, for example, is just insane.
it is truly an honor to have studied with Mark at SSU. His commitment to teaching, passion for painting and dedication to critical discourse made a lasting impact on me as a young student and inspired me to be the artist I am today.
My $100 check was not cashed until I passed the drug a d alcohol test, the casino background check and then the background check the gaming commission conducted. I then did all the employment processing paperwork with HR, then they cashed my check.
The $100 is for a gaming license. Not the background check. Although you have to pass the background check to obtain the gaming license.
I am questioning a $100 background check fee for applicants. it seems exorbitant. is this being mandated to candidates who are really on the fringe of actually being hired - or an "oh by the way" you might not get the job (even if your BC comes back clean)? fees for a solid BC don't have to be so much. this appears to be marked-up pricing. I 'get' that a candidate is entitled to keep the info later and could use it for another job if needed, but this is a high cost. it should be reimbursed, at least partially if one is hired and mandated only when management is 'pretty sure' they want this person. Can the PD or the NBBJ investigate the legality?
TAPS is my favorite place in Petaluma. Good luck, Eric! We'll follow you wherever you end up. Too bad the landlord doesn't see the long term value in having the coolest spot in town be under his roof!
I moved to Sonoma County two years ago, partly due to the fact that it's the home of Bear Republic, Russian River, and especially Lagunitas. Now I'll have to seek out some HenHouse!

About Eliza Cook
Hi! I'm Eliza. I am a Geographer by profession, and am currently studying for a PhD in Geography at Swansea University. I will be investigating ice core records from Greenland pretty soon. But you don't want to hear about those.
On top of this, during a year out, I fell into working as an in-house model for Agent Provocateur. Strange but true! This experience heightened my appreciation of fashion - especially the eclectic and eccentric fashions of the races.
I've been a racing fan for two years. I love all racing, but a day at the jumps is where I really feel the most excitement. Having grown up in Gloucestershire, with two great racecourses on the doorstep - Cheltenham and Chepstow - it is a wonder that I didn't find racing sooner.
I've been privileged to be a part of some of the 'behind the scenes' elements of racing, from photographing frosty morning breeze-ups to attending the post Cheltenham Festival jockeys' celebration in the Weighing Room!
I am thrilled to be a 'Voice of the Races'. To me, the most striking feature of racing is the accessibility of participants - and the fact that everybody attending has a part to play. A day at the races has it all; wonderful horses, spectacle and fashion, in an adrenaline soaked atmosphere where people from all walks of life come together in mutual appreciation of the sport.
I can't wait to tell you all about my experiences at the races, the people I meet and the adventures I have, as well as the fashions I encounter and the stories I uncover.
I hope you enjoy it!

7:00am Monday 30th April 2012
A THEATRE company has delivered a powerful message to pupils at Ormiston Park Academy.
London-based Futures Theatre Company performed a short play, based around the theme of sexual bullying, before interacting with students through a workshop.
The company, whose tour of schools in Thurrock is being funded by Lakeside Shopping Centre, specialise in performing dramas and workshops that highlight issues within society.
The play, enjoyed by over 100 Year 8 pupils at Ormiston, told the story of a teenage boy and girl who are in a relationship, but neither of which are ready to have sex for the first time, despite pressure from their friends.
The play raised issues of sexism, peer pressure and bullying. Once the play was over, pupils were asked how they would have done things differently if they were in the characters' shoes.
Futures Theatre Company, which consults closely with schools and charities regarding prevalent social issues, has received acclaim from big charities such as Childline and Barnardo's.
The company then tours schools to deliver their messages.
Artistic director Caroline Bryant said: "An agency we work closely with was hearing a lot about sexual bullying in schools. So we started to work with students to get there ideas on what sort of thing is going on.
"This kind of theatre, Forum theatre, allows us to present the issues in a way that is fun and engaging."
Paul Lancaster, Lakeside general manager, who was at the performance, said: "When we knew we had the opportunity to do this, we jumped at it.
"We always knew it was going to be a powerful subject, but to see it in action was fantastic."

A rather inexplicable weekend, wasn't it? In a lot of ways
Well, that was some weekend, wasn't it?
Unexpected wins, good games, solid performances from unlikely sources and I don't really care what anyone says or thinks, winning games is far better than losing them.
And only five to go – four if you're a fellow who's going to chill in Miami today and wait for the lads to show up rather than sit through the nightcap of the two-day doubleheader.
So …
Yet another reason …
To like Dwane Casey.
Yes, he's a genuinely nice man and a very, very good basketball coach, of that there can be no question.
Yes, they should probably pick up his third-year option today after what's happened so far this year but that's a foregone conclusion and will unquestionably happen in the course of time.
But when the dude can come up with a baseball analogy discussing basketball strategy he goes way, way up, no?
We're talking about the Raptors zone and how it befuddled the Hawks as much as it befuddled the Celtics and how it's not something he thinks should be permanent.
"It's kind of disguised, sometimes teams don't know if it's a man-to-man or a zone and it helps. You can't win a championship with it but it's a good thing to have in our pocket."
This, lf course, after he dropped the baseball thing on us and I didn't scratch my head but I bet a few others did.
"It's an Eephus pitch."
(Off to google, young 'uns)
Welcome back
James Johnson was in control and not too fancy and entirely effective and back to what he was in the middle of the season; he made six of eight shots, didn't try to do too much and was solid defensively.
No, I have no idea why all of a sudden but he kind of summed up the weekend after the game.
"Our season has been up and down but we're not just going to lay down each night. We still have pride, we're still men, and this is our job."
Solid approach.
Wrestling time
Ed Davis is, frankly, physically over-matched most nights. That's not totally unexpected given his still-slight frame and his youth but saw something last night that may bode well for the future.
Yes, he was pushed around a wee bit by the bigger, stronger, far-less-fit Ivan Johnson of the Hawks but as the game went on, Davis's confidence went up and he gave as good as he got.
It didn't go unnoticed by his coach.
"They tried to put Ivan on him to body him up, Ed did a good job in the post of really being aggressive, paling with confidence, passing the ball and quarterbacking because his guy was going to trap."
More? There's always more.
Man, we missed a big day Sunday by not being here, didn't we?
Check this out:
On April 15 …
The Titanic sunk.
Abraham Lincoln died.
Jackie Robinson made his debut.
And …
Joey Ramone passed away.
And there's nothing like a little Ramones to get the week started, is there?
I remember way back in 2000, as part of our millennium package, I was given the assignment of writing an essay – and I'm talking about a four- or eight-page many thousands of works – about the 100 years in sports.
Yes, a daunting task and we decided to break it down into four significant turning points and type about them. We settled on, as I recall, the emergence of women athletes, the evolution of television, the globalization of athletics and …
Jackie Robinson.
That's how important and significant his arrival was, it totally changed the sporting landscape not only in North America but I would suggest the world, too.
And that's why one of the best things major league baseball has ever done is get its players to all wear No. 42 on April 15 each year, to keep alive the memory of Robinson and what he did for the game, and the world.
I know there are kids – and young adults – out there who don't know about Robinson, what he went through, what he did and the role he played in getting North American professional sports where it is today.
I'm hope some of them saw players wearing 42 yesterday and asked someone of a Certain Vintage what it was all about and that they learned something. That's what those days are supposed to be about and kudos to baseball for doing it.
There is no comparison to Robinson in any other sport, really, because he was the first. He led the way for basketball and football and hockey and golf and everything else.
No, things are not perfect today by any means; there remain issues of race and discrimination on the games we watch and the society we live in; but Robinson did something to change that when it was at its worst and that cannot ever be forgotten.
And this? This is perfect.
The WNBA draft is this afternoon and I haven't done a mock one yet.
How about the pucks, eh?
I have friends who only watch hockey during the Olympics and playoffs because that's when there's no fighting.
Now, I'm sure there's flack to be caught for this but Sunday – in particular the Flyers-Penguins game I saw a wee bit of in a hotel room – was despicable.
I'm not sure if the worst was the Philly dude who cross-checked the guy under the chin and then punched him in the back of the head while he was lying prone on the ice; or the various guys who got beaten on after delivering entirely clean hits.
It's a joke and why to very, very, very many people a prime reason the game will never truly catch on. It will be a nice regional sports league – Canada and the upper half of the United States – because the implicit tolerance of such ridiculousness by a league office that does nothing, really, to stem the tide of senseless violence sends a message that they don't care an awful lot about what some people think.

The Saint-Michel quarter is in the 5th and 6th arrondissements of Paris. It is close to many of the capital's other famous historic areas such as the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés with its abbey and literary cafés.
Place Saint-Michel and its monumental fountain is one of the parisians' favourite meeting places. It looks over the embankments of the Seine with its famous booksellers and offer lovely views over Notre-Dame to the east, the Palais de Justice just opposite and The Louvre to the west. The quarter is full of bars and clubs, popular among young people and students from the nearby universities. Its restaurants, bookshops and trendy shops are loved by parisians and tourists alike.
Boulevard Saint-Michel is one of the city's oldest thoroughfares; beginning at Port-Royal, it runs alongside the Luxembourg Gardens and the Sorbonne, crosses Boulevard Saint-Germain and ends at Place Saint-Michel.
If you stretch your journey as far as The Odéon you will see the famous "Le Procope", one of the oldest restaurants in Paris which opened in 1689 and was a meeting place for artists, intellectuals and revolutionaries. Down on the embankments the long façade of the Hôtel des Monnaies or Mint is right next to the domed Institut de France, famously the headquarters of the Académie Française and overlooking the Pont des Arts. There are quaint old narrow streets all around where you can wander and discover magnificent seventeenth and eighteenth century mansions.

It all began simply: A hand-scrawled sign on a lamp post that read, "Want to volunteer? Meet at City Hall at noon."
Then there was the Facebook page, which cobbled together 19 like-minded friends interested in helping victims of a unique weather system that meteorologists later dubbed Superstorm Sandy.
"Our initial idea was that people would find each other on this page and solve each other's problems," said Tiby Kantrowitz, a Jersey City resident who helped organize the effort.
And then it grew.
"From 19 people it turned into 50 in about an hour-and-a-half," she said.
Now, hundreds buzz in and out of a historic downtown mansion in Jersey City, where a neighboring church donated the building to be used as the group's improvised headquarters.
Born out of what many described as a scarcity of local information and services in the storm's immediate aftermath, the Barrow Mansion is now a hive of volunteer activity that federal agencies like FEMA have looked to for partners.
"We all came together and joined our efforts," said Candice Osborne, a local resident who helped organize relief after Sandy's October 29 landfall.
Coordinated virtually all by social media, the once fledgling effort has burgeoned into a full-scale relief operation that delivers more than 250 meals per day, as well as clothing and cleaning supplies to storm-battered residents. The group also cleans out flood-soaked apartments, while dispatching scout teams to check on the elderly and disabled.
"It's been pretty incredible," said Osborne.
Pulling an iPhone from her pocket, she then thumbed across its cracked screen and opened a Facebook app to give a sense of how the delivery process works.
A request flashed on screen.
Holed up in his stormed-battered home, a Facebook user had asked for dog food and towels "from the volunteer network you are coordinating, if that is possible."
"On it!" Osborne replied, dispatching volunteers to the man's address, while tallying the appeal and recording her volunteers' names in the group's growing database.
Moments later, he wrote again.
"I don't know how to thank you. 10 minutes after my request, I had what I need. An almost magical effort."
With government agencies stretched thin to reach those still reeling in Sandy's aftermath, a patchwork of volunteer efforts like those in Jersey City have cropped up in storm-affected communities across the Tri-State area.
Forged quickly and often with little formal structure, neighborhood groups -- like the Barrow Mansion volunteers -- often prove especially effective by way of their numbers, energy and local knowledge. And at times, they offer victims their only reprieve in disaster-stricken communities.
"It's just one those beautiful heartbreaks," said nurse Katie Vacante, referring to how neighbors help each other in the wake of the crisis.
Bounding up stairs to deliver food in local apartment buildings, Irene Barnaby shares that very sentiment.

Your backyard should be an outdoor oasis, perfect for relaxing, entertaining and more. From patio furniture to gas grills, find everything you need to create a successful outdoor barbecue or party this year. Look for bistro tables and complete dining sets for parties and outdoor dining. Accentuate your deck and patio with Fire Sense firepits and patio heaters, and illuminate the patio with decorative Garden Oasis lantern string lights. Whether you need Raid and Ortho pest control or enclosed gazebos, decorate your backyard with quality outdoor living accessories from Sears.
Patio umbrellas shield you from the sun and complement Ty Pennington casual seating sets. Garden Oasis round umbrellas and Simply Outdoors hardtop gazebos provide enough shade for a family to gather outside and enjoy the day. You can even extend your living room outdoors with a set of Country Living Roseville outdoor loveseats. With a few benches and a settee, you can create an inviting outdoor living space for friends and family in the comfort of your own backyard.
Regardless of whether it is spring or fall, outdoor living accessories can make you enjoy the season even more. Outdoor dining sets offer a place to sit and eat lunch or dinner any time of year. Paired with a Country Living dining set and a Kenmore 4-burner gas grill, you have everything you need to cook a large meal and enjoy it under the sun. Even during cooler evenings, you can still enjoy your patio space with Fire Sense patio heaters. When winter comes, store your seasonal outdoor gear inside your outdoor storage shed to keep your furniture in the best shape. From complete patio furniture sets to outdoor cooking accessories, get outside, and spend more time enjoying your outdoor living space.
Outdoor decor such as lawn ornaments and statues add an aesthetic touch to the outdoor living space. Garden Oasis lighthouse fountains and honey bear birdbaths transform a dull backyard space into a decorative extension of the home. Curved benches provide a place to stop and sit by the garden, and Country Living plant stands accentuate your outdoor potted flowers. Russco metal butterfly wind chimes create festive sounds for the spring, and Garden Oasis fountains enhance a garden and patio area with its trickling water and built-in ambient lighting.

With stylish patio furniture and a gas grill, create the ultimate vacation getaway spot right in your backyard.

How To Make Your Lips Look Bigger
Six Ways To Make Your Lips Look Fuller
You don't need to endure painful injections to have the look of bigger lips. You don't necessarily need a lip plumping product, either. Makeup artists rely on tried and true tips to help their clients pump up the volume, and I've got a few of them to share.
Applier beware. Plump lips are one of those mysterious subconscious biological signs of youthfulness and fertility.
(Editor's note: I cannot take responsibility for any additional attention (or children) that may follow as a result of these tips below.)
- Avoid dark lipsticks or glosses. They can make your lips look smaller. Instead, choose a lighter shade to give the illusion of fullness. Also, pick lipsticks with shinier finishes. Shiny reflects light, making lips look even bigger.
- Brush lips with a baby toothbrush and some lip balm, like the classic ChapStick ($1.90). It's a gentle way to exfoliate and it promotes circulation in the lips, causing a temporary plump.
- Sweep a tiny dab of light colored gloss only in the middle of your lips, both top and bottom. Try Benefit Her Glossiness in Didn't Hear It From Me ($18). You can also use a lighter glittery gloss such as Wet N Wild MegaBrilliance Lip Gloss in Shimmy Shimmer ($2) or a whitish shimmery powder like Benefit Lust Duster in Snow Bunny ($18) to achieve the same effect.
To move on to the more advanced techniques, read more.
- Apply a luminizer, white pencil, or a line of concealer a shade or two lighter than your skin tone to your cupid's bow only (the "m" shape right above your upper lip). Blend lightly. Try Wet N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in White ($1.50).
- Use just the slightest amount of soft brown eyeliner (yeah — weird, I know) right underneath your lower lip line. Just about 1/8th of an inch should do. This creates the illusion that your full lips are actually creating a "shadow." I like CoverGirl Perfect Blend Eye Pencil in Smoky Taupe ($2.70).
- Apply concealer to lip area to create a blank palette. Using a lip liner in a shade similar to your own lips (or 1-2 shades darker), line your entire lips, from just slightly outside your natural line, moving inward. Smudge any rough edges (no clowny looks, here) and apply lipstick or gloss or both.

Written By: Secret_Shadows
Sitting on my balcony under the stars. The light of Luna's moon shines down onto my books giving me the light I need. I look up and admire the stars, never has anypony seen such a more beautiful sight. The stars dance around in a magical pattern only that of magic could create. I sit and read under the stars at night, the light just strong enough for me to read the words written on the pages. The passage of time means nothing at this point in night.
The beautiful stars hanging in a pool of violet and black where the sun once was. The moon shines elegant rays of pure white light around and it swirls with the stars in the never ending dance that is my passion. I follow the light of the stars as they disappear into the heavens. My eyes follow the shades of violet around the sky as they seem to move with the wind. The leaves on my home sway in this wind, along with the strands of violet and blue in the sky.
On the mountain top Canterlot is visible only by a dark shadow that blots out the stars. The lights that can be seen make Canterlot in my mind look like it has found its perfect dancing partner in the darkness that is the sky. I can see the clouds that try to block the starlight only to be shrouded in the light of a thousand other stars. I get up from my books and go over to the railing, wishing I could reach up and take a star, feel its warmth in my hooves and then return it to its place. My horn flares with a dim violet aura of its own as I try to reach out to a star to no avail. My magic is not strong enough. With a sigh I turn and walk back to my books, books which happen to be about my passion, the stars, the moon and the night sky.
A book lay open to a page of constellations as I try to find them. The beauty of the stars makes the constellations disappear as I bask in the glory of the white lights that shine down on me, It makes me feel as though I am in the heavens with them. Like fireflies in the summer the stars shimmer on a glass like lake of water sparkling in the distant darkness that is the Everfree Forest. I sip my tea as I enjoy the sight and sounds.
As I watch a shooting star I remember a song my mother used to sing to me when I was young. We would stay up all night just to look for a shooting star. 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' The song dances in my head reminding me of the fun times I had when I was a filly with my mother, sometimes even my brother would join us when our father wasn't home as we watched the night sky, We enjoyed the peace together as a family. I miss sharing this with them, however I know we are all looking at the same stars all dancing together yet separately for each of us.
The streets deserted, the fields empty, animals and ponies alike retreat to their homes for they do not understand the beauty of night, but I do. Its something to bask at, you want so much to enjoy the day that the night is cast aside, but no matter, even if just one pony such as myself has to enjoy it so be it. I enjoy the sights and sounds of night, the wonderful parade of lights and sights in the sky.
I yawn, I am tired, I look up at the stars again to see the moon hanging above me, its midnight, most of the ponies in Ponyville are asleep, lights are out, its quiet. The tired ponies sleep in their homes as Luna generously gives them peace. The peace of night is subtle, only one who was quiet enough to listen would realize there are hundreds of calming sounds; The songs of hundreds of animals slumber and awake create a grand shroud of peace that makes up the night.
I lay down to read my books once more, the moon light all I need. I can hear spike breathing in the distance, peaceful slumber, even he contributes to the silence that is now Ponyville. My eyelids heavy, my head droops down. I rest, I fall asleep and enjoy the healing qualities of night.
The birds singing wakes me up from my peaceful slumber, I open my eyes, its not yet morning, the moon is hovering just over the mountain tops, the sky is still dark, on the opposite side of the sky I see pinks and yellows, the sun is coming up. I look at the moon once more and bid it farewell as we part ways for the day. Each star gets dimmer and dimmer until no longer visible. I see, one final star streak across the sky in what little violet still remains in the sky as if to wave goodbye. After the display of the stars they are gone, vanished, the moon is gone over the horizon leaving behind the wonderful pinks and yellows of the morning sky as they dance across the clouds.
I regret sleeping through the beautiful night, what had I missed in the night sky? The colors, the sounds, the make up of true harmony? I look at the sky in its present state already giving way to the light blue of day. The night is over and I must begin my day, but I remind myself yet again I will return tonight to enjoy it all over, and maybe catch a star.
As the sun gives way to the moon and the yellow and pink sky is parted by the elegant violets and blues I can only look at the moon and greet it, as it greets me as it always has, and always will.
