All these apps are for iPhone, but many can be bought for iPad and Android. As apps are added to the iTunes store all the time, you may like to do a search to see what's new. Nothing here is over $10AU.
I have not tried most of these apps, so it's buyer beware and I am not responsible for the quality of your experience, or any problems you may have with your devices after installation and use; no I am not getting paid to promote any of these and I don't expect to etc. If the software vendor, Apple or Android are not kind, then I am very sorry, but I am unable to help you and I am not liable. I hate having to say all that! Any apps that looked totally awful haven't been listed.
P.S. Part two, which will be idea generating apps, writer's block smashers and writing prompts will be coming out at the end of this week. There are too many apps to list in one post and by no means, have I found them all! Have fun!
Getting Organised and Equipped to Write
Aspire Goals
"Aspire Goals is more than just a goal setting application. It has been said that the process of achieving your goals is 80% mental and only 20% activity. Yet most of the apps relating to goal setting focus on the 20% and ignore the most important component – the mental side of things. Aspire Goals focuses on the 80%. It looks not only at what your goals are, but also the reasons why you want to achieve them. Then it takes the next step and looks at what can be done mentally to increase your chances of achieving your goals. And one of those things is visualization." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/aspire-goals/id488685303?mt=8&ls=1
The Author Organizer
* track details about each book you are writing
* track details about each chapter you are writing
* records all dates on your iPhone calendar
* email notes for each chapter" http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/the-author-organizer/id422375467?mt=8&ls=1
If you want an personal or writing organizer, do a search for that word under "lifestyle" or "business." There are hundreds of time management and sticky notes apps. Some are great, some are basic. Try the free versions, if they have one, to see what suits you best. One app I do like for pulling together odd bits of information, e.g. ideas for stories or blog posts, is Idea Store by Spore Tools Ltd. http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/idea-store/id436275897?mt=8&ls=1
Bento by FileMaker, Inc
This is the database I use on my Mac and my iPad. You can also get an iPhone version. It syncs easily between my Mac and iPad by Wifi. It is so easy to use. You don't need to understand anything technical about databases to use it. I use it to track my articles and blog entries and where they've been used. It also comes with great templates to get your started. http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/bento/id314638461?mt=8
How to Write a Winning Business Plan
Your writing is a business and if you are selling books or articles in any form, you need a business plan. "This guide will help you prepare a realistic plan that will document your vision, goals and strategy. No business should be started or maintained without a plan." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/how-to-write-winning-business/id328153943?mt=8&ls=1
Proofreader by Operandi Limited
"ProofReader is the on-going project to create a visual guide to markup and copy correction marks." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/proofreader/id343815121?mt=8&ls=1
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
This is an essential tool. Available for iPhone, iPad, Android and in free or premium editions, which aren't expensive. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/merriam-webster-dictionary/id478126577?mt=8
Roget's II The New Thesaurus, Third Edition by Enfour Inc.
"Roget's II: The New Thesaurus combines the most useful features of a thesaurus and a dictionary; each entry contains a short definition as well as a comprehensive list of synonyms for the headword. This up-to-date database also features extensive, and useful, cross-references." http://itunes.apple.com/app/rogets-ii-new-thesaurus/id286861782?mt=8

Word Count Log By Tony Jansen
"Word Count Log is a simple productivity tool for writers. It is essentially a logbook for recording the word count on your writing projects." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/word-count-log/id400855560?mt=8&ls=1
NaNo Saga
If you participate in NaNoWriMo (November) "NaNo Saga is the fastest, most convenient way to compare your progress with your buddies' during NaNoWriMo – the National Novel Writing Month." This one is free. http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/nano-saga/id399211362?mt=8&ls=1
My Writing By 21×20 Media, Inc.
This app comes from Writing.com. "With some many venues online for writers, it's hard to keep track of where your works are showcased. Our "My Writing" app solves the problem by giving you a simple place to store the title and URL of your writings, giving you one tap access to each." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/my-writing/id418380810?mt=8&ls=1
Writing Tips By Rich Lowenberg
"Writing Tips is a fantastic resource for both budding and seasoned writers. Written by bestselling author Alice Kuipers, the application provides inspiration, tips, and more than three hundred exercises to suit any available time frame. Regular use of this app will improve the quality and confidence of your writing, and help you have more fun in the process." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/writing-tips/id387625993?mt=8&ls=1
The number of times I have seen bad formatting or spelling errors in an app description worries me. I know the developers are not necessarily the writers, but don't they proofread? I haven't tried this app, I don't know how good it is. There is a free version so you can see if it suits you. This blurb appears exactly as it is on site. I emailed them about their editing and the owner is contacting the developer to fix the problems! "BookMidwife app is for people who are sure they are ready to start their planning. In an easy and accessible format, authors can capture all the important information about their Plan, Notes and Progress. You will get a list of the KEY THINGS TO CONSIDER in your BOOK PLANNING. You will get help making a PROJECT TIMELINE with all of the KEY MILESTONES so you do everything in the right order and don't forget anyting important." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/bookmidwife/id474408137?mt=8&ls=1
Word Processors and Book Writing Apps
There is a rumour that Scrivener is coming out as an App and will sync with your PC or Mac. Please let that be so. Keep checking! http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
This is the only iPad/iPhone app that doesn't leave me screaming with frustration. You can move the cursor within words to make changes as it has more keys than the other keyboards. It is designed to be uncluttered so all you focus on is your writing, then you just email the document through to yourself. Plus on the iPad it's big and thus, less frustrating. Cheap, simple has excellent ratings. http://www.iawriter.com/
Quickoffice® Pro
If you use Microsoft Word files, this is the app I use. There are probably many others out there. Available for Android, iPad, iPhone & Symbian "Create, Edit, Access & Share Microsoft® Office files with the most connected office suite for on iPhone & iPod Touch. Includes fixes for iOS 5. NEW – PPT® Editor, Huddle & SugarSync access." http://itunes.apple.com/app/quickoffice-pro/id310723177?mt=8&quantity=1
Pages by Apple
If you are a Mac addict and use Apple's Pages, this very cheap but adequate version is essential. "Pages is the most beautiful word processor you've ever seen on a mobile device. This powerful app has been exclusively designed for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Create, edit, and view documents wherever you are. Pages works with iCloud, so your documents stay up to date on all your iOS devices — automatically" http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8&ls=1&v0=www-naus-ipad-appstore-apple-pages
WriteRoom By Hog Bay Software
This is more distraction free software, but doesn't seem to have the keyboard flexibility of iAWriter. But it does have: "Word Count, Extended Keyboard Row, Search for Files, Custom Line Height, Screen Brightness, TextExpander Support, Automatic & Manual Sync, iTunes Document Sharing, Clean Fullscreen Mode, Print & Email, Startup Passcode, Link Detection, Draggable Scroller, Autocorrect On/Off, Document & Folder Sorting." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/writeroom/id288751446?mt=8&ls=1
I Write A Book By DraganCats
The reason I've included this is, I haven't seen many apps where you can have multiple books being written at once. Many apps are one book only. Other than that, it's basic and distraction free. http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/i-write-a-book/id391119044?mt=8&ls=1
Manuscript By Black Mana Studios
Being a Scrivener user, I like having index cards where you can store the odd ideas and facts you need to put somewhere easy to get to. This gives you index cards. "Manuscript is a writing application that lets you outline, research, edit and export anywhere between a short story and an entire book – right on your iPhone! Manuscript is not limited to writing stories – you can use it for note-taking, project management, storyboard and much more.
• Create a manuscript from scratch or import from Dropbox.
• Outline your manuscript using multiple levels: Pitch – One sentence tagline.
Synopsis – A more elaborate description of the plot or article, covering major developments. Index cards – Serves as a repository for ideas, character development, reminders and more.
• On top of Pitch and Synopsis, each chapter can be outlined individually. You can create empty chapters, outline them, and then pour content into them in any order you like.
• Use Wikipedia, dictionary and thesaurus from within the app.
• Backup your work-in-progress or export your finished manuscript to Dropbox as an RTF, TXT or HTML file that can be read by both Mac and PC." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/manuscript/id339910826?mt=8&ls=1
My Writing Spot By PT Software Solutions
Another writing app with decent features. "My Writing Spot is also handy for keeping track of To-Do lists and notes. Struck with an idea while you're away from your computer? Capture it in My Writing Spot! Since you can have as many documents as you'd like, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/my-writing-spot/id332503036?mt=8&ls=1
Writers App By Thomas Sillmann
I like the use of predefined attributes. This could be handy for getting ideas together and getting details straight! Again though, their description editing is poor, but it's how you use the app that matters. "You're writing a new novel? You want to capture your ideas and thoughts organized, and from any location at any time? You want a comprehensive sticky note that provides templates by which you can define specific characteristics and attributes of the characters and places? That's exactly what the Writers App was developed for. It's no app for writing a novel, but to hold your ideas and thoughts and to structure your story.
The Writers App allows you to:
– Create and organize stories
– Write a synopsis, premise, plot and notes for your story
– Create chapters, characters and places
– Edit the predefined attributes such as age, personality and occupation of the character or appearance and environment of places." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/writers-app/id423122863?mt=8&ls=1
For Scriptwriters, but Useful Across Genres
Writer Aid By Redwind Software
"Writer Aid" is a first of a kind iPhone app developed to aid scriptwriters overcome the difficulties associated with crafting new and original material in an increasingly competitive market. Great descriptions can punch your story, article, or script off the page. This library of characters, Script Tips and Comment section enables writers to make notes, develop characters and co-write on the iPhone, iPad or iPod. The database works by categorizing the information according to gender, age, genre and variety. Alternatively just browse the descriptions that come Recommended from Hollywoods established writers. "Writer Aid" will help you craft new and inventive characters using the past as an index." http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/writer-aid/id345881105?mt=8&ls=1

Just a reminder: I have not tried most of these apps, so it's buyer beware and I am not responsible for the quality of your experience, or any problems you may have with your devices after installation and use; no I am not getting paid to promote any of these and I don't expect to etc. If the software vendor, Apple or Android are not kind, then I am very sorry, but I am unable to help you and I am not liable.

While it may be an unlikely bound on the gridiron, off the field, Seminoles' head coach Jimbo Fisher and his family are on the same team as the University of Minnesota.
Fisher's 8-year-old son, Ethan, who's never far from his dad or Heisman winner Jameis Winston during a game, suffers from a rare and serious blood disease called Fanconi anemia. He visits the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital every three months to get his blood drawn from one of the leading hospitals in the search for a cure.
Since being diagnosed with FA, Fisher and his family have raised close to $2 million to fund research and have used their public status to raise awareness about Ethan's condition — a genetic disease that affects one in 350,000 children.
This March will be three years since Ethan's diagnosis, but he doesn't understand the impact FA has on his life yet. He's just a kid who does well in school, likes to play sports and hang out with his friends.
Read more about Ethan here.

Sharpsville Container Corporation (SCC) is a process equipment manufacturer, providing integrated engineering solutions, primarily focused on fluid and gas handling containment. As an ISO 9001 company SCC offers a full range of stainless steel storage tanks, UN/DOT transport vessels, gas cylinders, fermenters and reactors. We proudly serve the Food, Dairy, Industrial, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, High Pressured Gas, Renewable Fuels and Beverage industries. SCC offers both standard and custom engineered solutions designed specifically to your needs.

Our products typically range in size from 1 to 25,000 gallon capacity and we often integrate them into complete modular systems that include piping's, pumps, specialty agitation and controls.
Founded in 1860, Sharpsville Container Corporation (SCC) was originally established as a boiler works manufacturer and operated under the name "Sharpsville Steel Fabrication". The business' early success was driven by the expansion of the iron and steel industries after the Civil War. Purchased in 1997 by the Reserve Group, and in partnership with its new sister company Spartanburg Stainless Products, production capability for specialty kegs and gas cylinder manufacturing was shifted to SCC. Today, SCC remains part of The Reserve Group, a privately owned portfolio of independent operating business' that shares a common philosophy "to strive for growth through relationships and shared accomplishments with its' customers". We are committed to the safety of our customers and our colleagues, the quality of your product, and continued improvement of our product offerings thru engineering and innovation.
In 1860, Sharpsville Steel Fabricators was another manufacturer pulled into the petroleum boom and the emerging petro-chemical business. Indeed, the company fabricated the first iron tank used by Colonel Drake of the oil industry.
The Civil War and the expansion of the iron and steel industry enabled the company to further diversify its products. In the Archives of the Sharpsville Historical Society, there is a picture of the facility taken during the Civil War. It shows draft horses pulling a wagon through the huge doors at the West end of the plant. Mounted on the wagon were metal fabrications that were actually components for fighting ships being built during the Civil War. The growth of the automobile industry required the fabrication of storage tanks for refineries, bulk and service stations, and tanks for transporting petroleum products. One of the company's early achievements of national prominence was the manufacture of the first motor driven meter pumps now found in all gasoline retail outlets.
In 1985, the business was re-christened, "Sharpsville Container," where the focus of the company was shifted to high quality stainless steel vessels and roto-molded plastic containers. Today, Sharpsville Container Corporation provides value added services and high quality products to a multitude of customers throughout North America and the World. We strive for success through relationships and accomplishments.

Praying with you and for your mom and family.
Forgiveness is tough! It is an act of our will, not a feeling, moment by moment... even sometimes. Not allowing any thoughts that are not of GOD enter in and take hold in our minds.. we boot them out and think on 'lovely' and good things. It is no easy task.. especially when we hurt so deeply inside. I pray for the LORD to heal your heart, to bind up your wounds and to minister to all of your needs. I ask Him to give you wisdom what to do about the illness you have going on presently and to heal every part of your being in His way and timing.. Keep choosing to forgive.. and one day.. you will find perhaps your 'feelings' line up with your choice... it takes a lot of time and prayer. Much Love in Christ.
Standing with you in prayer!
Praying GOD will order your steps one day at a time and fill your spirit, heart and mind with all you need as a balm to quiet and heal your heart and soul and guide your way. HUGS!
Hi Ray;
I got 'sacked' this year myself with neck, back and spine issues so I full well understand similarly where you are at. I also had a what seemed a 'cruel' taste of Sciatica pain that left me sleepless for the most part for 5 weeks. The need to work and the home duties too seem almost overwhelming at times when I am hurting or stiff.
I am going to pray with you and also ask GOD to give you wisdom about your path ahead, how to care for yourself at this time and to let go what you can, for Him to bring along others to aid you in your time of need,and for healing... just KNOW that GOD WILL PROVIDE for you.. HE never fails.
Standing in prayers with you for them all!
Praying with you for him!!!
Powerful Christmas story video indeed!
Leave it to children to tell the story the BEST!!
Dear father I am asking for your intervention for these folks. I ask that you step in and take care of their fiances, I ask that you extend your mercy to these people, and show them that their is light at the end of the tunnel. In Jesus name Amen
That was the most adorable version of the Christmas story on Earth. Luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
Dear Father I lift up Kimberley,s request to you. I ask that you show her direction, and keep the enemy out of her finances. I ask in Jesus name Amen
Great Christmas music especially the one played b/e focus on the family and the speaker(insight for living) It was a medley of songs sung by a big orchestra and voices. I would love to know who and the name so i could get it on itunes and play along with my horn. You r all doing a great job on your selection of Christmas songs this year as always. hugs and love to all you guys. Marco Here
Standing with you as a mom who had to do a similar thing. The thing I have and still am learning is that our kids are God's kids first. We are given them as a trust by God to love and raise.. then comes the 'letting go' part for us. I think that it is harder often times for us than it is for our kids. But when we do.. God takes over. Our kids will live as we do.. going through ups and downs and trials.. but that is how they will learn to look for God.. especially when we cannot fix it for them. They will grow, mature, and b e c o m e .. as we have and are still. God can handle our kids and their lives and will do as He thinks best to bring them around and to minister to them. I will pray with you about his depression.. as I pray for my own son with his anxiety. My son did see a doctor but then refused that help. My son does not want or think he needs God.. but he is learning through life that he cannot control things as he once thought. Although I hate to see him struggle with fear.. it may just be the thing my own son needs to look to God when he becomes too overwhelmed. Praying for both.
Dear lost girl.. you are NOT lost! You are touching GOD's heart! Let me share a story with you.
When I was in my 20's I used to stay up ALL night on PURPOSE trying to KEEP AWAKE to MEET with God. I used to sit outside on my our front porch and talk and listen.. and talk and listen.. only to meet with silence! I did this for some time. I got mad!
I felt like you.
I came inside one morning and pitched a fit at my kitchen table! I saidl "God! I love you.. but I can't do this on my own! I want to follow You and be with You but I QUIT! I give up! If you want me I'm here! I just can't make anything happen!"
and.. I did.
It was at THAT moment.. my life changed. GOD BEGAN to INITIATE our relationship. In other words.. HE led the DANCE.. and asked me to follow.
I think that GOD might.. be telling you the same thing. He Loves you and you are not lost by any means. The thing is is that you NEVER compare OTHER people's relationship with GOD's to your own. There IS NO comparison because everyone is UNIQUE. GOd speaks to people differently as well. Not all the same.
At first.. GOD used the Daily Bread to speak to me. Then.. He led me to His Word.. then.. other people.. then one day as I was reading the Psalms I said: "God, I'd like to have the same type of relationship with You that Kind David did.. and that I do with my own earthly dad.. just listening and talking intimately so.
He granted that.
But here is a gift I will give you.
Sing to HIM.. on your own.
Spend time with HIM in a place where it is quiet and it is just you and HE. Ask HIM what HE wants to say to you and wait.. have child like faith.. You learned to hear the voice of those who love you.. you will learn to hear Him too.. He is listening to you.. He's on the way.. Have faith.
Standing with you! Any updates to share for prayers?
Jesus... my heart aches hearing the needs here.. I know it is Your heart LORD feeling their pain and anguish, the grief.. and knowing the needs of this child and these that are ill and hurting. DO Your work LORD.. let them feel Your Presence.. and SEE YOU are NEAR in ALL. Thank YOU for being I AM. They need all of YOU and YOU are there being GOD.. I AM.
Standing with you in prayer and extending all the LOVE I can.. <3
I have worked as a chaplain. I will tell you that there have been times when I have spoken to them directly about God because God led me to. But I will also share with you that 'washing their feet' in the ways that they each needed was the best model for the love of God and it led to them asking about why I was different. When we love.. most times they will ask.. then.. there is no conflict with our place of 'employment' God bless you in your journey.. and in the heart and gifts He has given you!
My husband went through the same thing lately.. but one day GOD said to me.. "tell your husband that although I have made him the main provider for your family.. he cannot be that unless I provide for him first to provide for you all."
I had to stop and think about that.
GOD made my husband responsible for us.. yet GOD is responsible above my husband to care for us.
When I shared that with my husband it took all of the pressure off of him.. He felt better.. relieved.. and the best thing?... GOD began to take care of us in ways that were unexpected and always different. It became a time of waiting patiently and expectantly (and not trying to fix things or provide for ourselves) to watch GOD work.. and.. HE DID EVERY TIME!!!
God still has us in a place of faith.. where although my husband now has a new job it is not enough to meet our needs and GOD will not allow me to work though I have tried endless times. I really believe that GOD is preparing His kids to look to HIM alone because of the coming days.. and HE WILL NOT let us down! He cannot go against HIS WORD. Praying with you!
Standing with you in prayer.. continue to model so lovingly and on purpose as you have. God will do the rest. <3
The LORD says in His Word that 'every person has a 'day' of salvation. It's kind of like a seed when it is planted in the ground and has been watered and tended with care by GOD. The 'day' comes when the person must respond to all that GOD has done to let them know that He is there.. but GOD lets us all choose to come to Him or not. The WONDERFUL thing about GOD is that His Word also says that HE STRIVES with us.. 120 years.. that means that HE Continues as HE says in Revelation to KNOCK on the DOOR Of our hearts. GOD NEVER gives up until we take our last breath.. and HE certainly does not lose patience with us in that. Continue to pray for your ex-boyfriend and leave him in the Hands of GOD. GOD knows each of us and HOW to get through to us. All best! Be at peace.
I can completely relate to you on this. I have experienced in the past condemnation and unworthy of why am I happy. Yet, the words of God give me comfort. He loves you so much that sent His son that knew no sin become sin..for us. So that He can have you, delight in you and give you a new life. Not a life of remembering the past.Don't let the enemy remind you of the past and if you are already in those thoughts, start sining, praising God. If He forgave us, why shouldnt we forgive ourselves? You keep on hanging in there. I'll be praying for you. I know it can be overwhelming at times. Remember, God knew you even before you were born, therefore..He loves you no matter what. Praise God everytime you remember how great is His faithfulness :)

OK, I have a daughter so I understand taking children out, but this was insane. I was so excited to try this place (great atmosphere, great wine list, food looked great) but we had to leave because it was like an Italian McDonalds. Seriously, wall to wall LOUD children...which was strange since the menu boasts olives, prosciutto and great wine. Perhaps if we go later in the night it will be different, but I was let down...

My dinner at Otto was perfect...the waiter's recommendations, the delicious food, the cool atmosphere! Do not miss the olive oil gelato with blood oranges, even if you NEVER eat dessert or think fruit doesn't qualify! I want to go back NOW!
Posted by ChristopherGirl on 03/06/2005
I'm especially partial to the arugala salad, it's classic but they've done something to make it delicious. The pizza is good, without overdoing the toppings. Great wine list. I especially like the warm, woodsy decor... it's great for a cold winter night. Haven't tried the pasta yet, but I haven't heard good things about it.

Waiting 45 minutes for a table on a Wednesday night was a little daunting, but this place was worth the wait. 4 dishes and a bottle of wine for under $70 in Manhattan! Try the Baba A Rum dessert - Delicious.
Posted by grs on 03/01/2005
This is a great and, for NYC, inexpensive place for good Italian food (predominantly pizza) and excellent Italian wine.The wine list is outstanding, with probably thirty wines available by the quartino (1/3 of a bottle). The assorted seafood antipasto is outstanding, as are the vegetable dishes, and the pizzas are very good - thin crust and light on the toppings but delicious. The servers are quick and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it. Eating at the bar is also nice if you can get a seat.

Pizza was good, atmosphere is great, wine selection is amazing. Would definitely go again.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/14/2005
Too avoid a long wait, try going for lunch. The caprese is amazing and the offerings reminded me of Rome. Don't forget to leave room for Gelato...HEAVENLY! Tip: order a sample of two or three gelati instead of just one - plenty to share. The atmosphere is great, and the wine list is beyond extensive. I can't wait to go back again!

A developer who for years has nurtured plans to build on his spacious property in Greektown has asked the city for authority to put up a residential high-rise.
David Friedman, president of F&F Realty Ltd. in Skokie, has filed an application to rezone his property at the southeast corner of Madison and Halsted.
Friedman owns the Crowne Plaza Hotel on part of the site. But most of the nearly two acres consists of a parking lot.
His application calls for a 48-story building next to Interstate 94. Friedman and his attorney could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but the developer told the Sun-Times in 2009 that he wants to build rental housing.
The apartment market has shown life downtown, while condos remain in a glut. Friedman also said two years ago that he wanted the building's renters to have access to hotel services from his Crowne Plaza.
His zoning plan also calls for a new nine-story attachment to the hotel for banquets and conferences, and a parking garage at the corner of Madison and Halsted.
The site is across Halsted from another development that would bring a grocery and a 22-story building to the neighborhood. The high-rise, planned as a later phase of the deal, could be either a hotel or residences.
Friedman's zoning application starts a hearing process before city agencies that could take several months.
Residents on the Near West Side have fought developer plans that they believe emphasize height and threaten to turn the area into an extension of downtown. Friedman's planned building would be taller than the 39-story Skybridge condo project, which set a Greektown height precedent when it opened in 2002 at 1 N. Halsted.

When I first found this extension it had no reviews but I'm glad I took the chance and bought it.
The developer Thong was very helpful and responsive, assisting me with any troubleshooting such as getting the redirect syntax correct and fixing minor bugs.
So now it works perfectly and my link juice is saved. Massive redirects is extremely handy for migrating sites where the page urls are the same except for the suffix.
Especially with large sites it coudl save a lot of hassle by avoiding setting up individual 301s for each page.
It's working great in Joomla 3.2, give it a try!
bydr_octopod, February 15, 2011
EB is very intuitive and easy to use, has great features and the support is first rate. I submitted a support ticket to suggest an additional feature and within 2 days it was there, amazing. The only thing I can't get to work is the user integration where customers can log back in and check their order details. I think this will be getting fixed in the new version for Joomla 1.6 when it arrives.

Yes, I agree--this is needed. Sometimes I spend a long time searching the database to find just the right entry that matches that food for me. Then a month or two later if I eat the same food, it takes me forever to find it in my foods. I have to sort A to Z or Z to A, and then repeatedly scroll and hit Show More. How about at least adding a Show All option? Thanks.

Yes, yes, yes ,yes PLEASE!!!!!! We eat thousands of different kinds of foods, or brands. It is unfortunate that you either have to spend way too much time searching your own datebase, or enter the same food twice! I think a search in "MY Foods" would be an absolutely amazing addition to this website!!

My apologies I do not have an update for you.
Our team has currently been focusing on the the scalability and stability of the site's underpinnings. This may make it appear as though "user" requested features have been ignored. I assure you once they finish up with this project it will be on to improving the front facing piece of the program.
I will definitely pass your suggestion on.

Agreed. Also that you can only view it by that meal. Nothing is worse than making a homemade recipe, entering it in as dinner, and having it as lunch the next day and having to enter the entire recipe back in.

Can't you click on the button underneath the food database dialog box to toggle between 'Lunch' (for example) and 'All Meals', and once it is showing 'All Meals' then click on the 'Recent' Tab? That gives me the last 25 things I have added to my diary for all meals and I can easily select (for example) what I had for dinner yesterday onto lunch today.
Or have I misunderstood what you're asking?

Daily requirement standards for children suggests between three and six ounces of grains a day. For nutritious whole grain snacks, parents can give their children whole wheat muffins, breads and cereals. For a little pizzazz, mix berries or other fruits with grains to make something banana bread or cranberry muffins. Tortillas and pretzels are also good grain sources.
Good Snack Foods for Kids
Kids need to refuel more than three times a day. Snacking helps parents supplement meals to keep kids happy, healthy and on a nutritionally balanced diet. Prepackaged snack foods are often filled with empty calories and transfats, but nutrition-savvy parents can help gate-keep the good from the not-so-good snacks.
In place of chips, try baking sweet potato slices for homemade sweet potato chips. Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamin A, B6 and C. Broccoli and carrots are good dipped in low-fat ranch dressing or hummus, which is a spread made of mashed chickpeas and olive oil. Spread a healthy, all-natural peanut butter on celery to help kids get their one to two cups of vegetable servings a day.
Fruit presents a variety of options, from the classic apples and oranges to pineapple slices and raisins, which have fiber, potassium and vitamins. Unique fruits like cranberries and mangoes help keep kids interested. For the 1 to 1 1/2 cups of required fruit per day, dress up banana slices with peanut butter, or use fruit to spice up other snacks.
Kids should get two to three cups of dairy a day. From string to cubes, cheese is a good source of dairy. Parents can cut cheese into fun shapes with a cookie cutter, or serve it with tomatoes and a little bit of Italian dressing. Low-fat yogurt is a good option, especially with fruit or granola mixed in. For kids who crave ice cream, give them smoothies made with low-fat milk or yogurt, ice and a mix of fruit, like banana and strawberry.

Old Man Lifts Fridge Over His Head
Posted by mrbueller on May. 19, 2010
Posted by mrbueller on May. 19, 2010
You can hear hollow sheet metal when he sets in the truck it doesn't even have the foam left in it.what a pansy
After reading a few comments about the truck suspension not moving I watched the video for a second time and I am thoroughly convinced now that the refrigerator components were taken out. Kind of like in Worlds Strongest Men competitions with those little bug cars. The heaviest part of the vehicle was taken out. The motor as well as the seats ect. I've trained along side some of the strongest men in the country and I've trained in strongmen here and there and I can tell you that most of the lifts are m
If the components were in it, which they weren't, then it is no good now. I don't think the video was to make people think he was lifting a full fridge I think it just got twisted like that repost after repost. Still not bad for a 51 year old guy to pull a shell over his head like that I guess...
This is actually not really that hard to do. If you're a 25 year old powerlifter.
This is actually not really that hard to do. If you're a 25 year old powerlifter.
he would beat the shit out of chuck norris
Damn. Since when is 51 years old?!
51? Pretty fat and old looking. Refrigerators don't weigh that much anyhow.
 My granny could kick his ass!
This is fake. You can tell by the way he's walking and talking. That thing probably doesn't have anything in it and is just a piece of 20 pound aluminum.
And as others have noted, the truck doesn't lower at all when he drops it in. No matter how gently you set it down, any fridge is going to rock the suspension. If you scrap everything out of a fridge it only weighs about 20 pounds.
 "someone forgot to put the tailgate down", RGGGHGHH!!!!! AAAAAAA!! RGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! "next time put the tailgate down."
truck didn't move. if he hadn't put it in the truck, it would've been harder to tell it was fake.
a true dwarf.
 why is there a fridge in the middle of his lawn? and why would he ask where to put it when the truck is 5 feet in front of him. FAKE
So many posts this is fake .. Just because you weak ass people cant lift 150 pounds onto your shoulder doesnt mean some old farmer can't legitmately do it.
I'm a big strong dude (6'2" 265 lbs). I've had to move my fridge 3 times, and while I've moved large televisions, couches, tables, beds, and even clothes dryers single handedly I have never been able to lift a fridge without the help of at least one other person, if the fridge had all it's component parts. They are simply too heavy and not evenly balanced to even attempt to lift with just one person. I'm not saying at all that some dude out there COULDN'T do it, but I am saying, because of the truck susp
uh, fridges way alot more than 50 pounds
Its a full size truck that holds 1,500 pounds.. A 150-200 pound fridge wont make it move much.
those fridges weigh about 150 lbs.... its not that big of a deal, just proper balancing when he lifts it.
 epic beard man v2.0?
dude sounds like that big ugly alien from men in black.
Or Tourettes Guy.
 Its fake... the truck doesnt lower at all when he drops it in.. LOL! NICE TRY!1!!!
Still, awesome!!
 Are those noises weightlifting or sex?
 I'm scared :(
Rrrraaaawwwrrr....PUT THE TAILGATE DOWN YA OL' BITCH!
 Next Time Put The Tail Gate Down
Doin' what the old lady tell him
 he's only 51? I would have guessed at least 65, mix in a salad Bluto.
Crack is Whack...
 now go in the kitchen and bake me a pie!
don't you guys ever dare compare this guy to epic beard man!
 daaaamn strong grandpa
 GRRrRRrrRR!... GrRRRrrRR!
FAKE it's just the shell of the fridge, cooling unit has been removed without that a fridge is about 50lbs and if you look at how easy it moved when he first lifted it up and the fact that no liquid came out of the bottom when he tiped it like that proves it was just the shell.
what are you on about you can hear the water tip out
he could be in his forties, can't really tell when they have a beard
 Breaking new, 5 minutes after a zestful 50yr old man lifts fridge, dies from brain aneurysm.
 That's his lunch box.
 hmmm... whit out the motor and emty fridge i say 45 lbs.
 In Soviet Russia, fridge lifts you!!!!
 Thats easy...pice of cake
 I have a 51 year old uncle who cuts down trees for a living every day still spikes up 75+ foot tall trees, and takes them down limb by limb, and helps down to the rolling of the huge ass chunks of log up into the back of the truck.
Kewl? no one cares. make a video of it.

text: Is there anyone out there that has connections to or knows of a shop that can cut 1" thick carbon steel? The steel i am cutting is for a heavy siege crossbow. Total inches would be about 67" for the cut distance. The steel is 1" thick carbon type thats in annealed state. I can pre taper the limbs so it gets thinner as it moves out if it is easier for the shop. This piece unfortunately will eat anything i try and cut it with by hand and my torches/plasma cutter are not big enough to cut anything thicker then 1/2" on a severance cut. FYI, the cut can be a severance cut as long as i have enough material to grind to limits. I am also looking for someone that can put a drawing into CAD format so a waterjet or laser cutting machine can read it. Willing to front some money for the time.

The many people who enjoyed the movie The Prestige over the weekend, making it the most popular film in the country, might be interested to know that much of the film has a historical basis. Yes, it's adapted from the Christopher Priest 1995 novel. But the historical background can be found in Jim Steinmeyer's The Glorious Deception: The Double Life of William Robinson, aka Chung Ling Soo, the "Marvelous Chinese Conjurer". A long, destructive rivalry between two magicians, the idea that a magician would go so far as to cultivate a false identity even in his private life, and maintain it for years, and some of the specific 'illusions' themselves, like the deadly "bullet catch," are all factually grounded and can be found detailed in Mr. Steinmeyer's entertaining book. In something of an acknowledgment of this history (and to plant some of the plot points I just listed), Chung Ling Soo himself, or at least his character, makes an appearance towards the beginning of The Prestige.
And for those who have been entranced by that other magic-based movie, The Illusionist -- obviously, it's an adaptation of Stephen Milhauser's short story, "Eisenheim the Illusionist." But it, too, is grounded in actual magician performances. My former Dallas Morning News colleague, Chris Vognar, has pointed out how Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin's famous
"orange tree" illusion is used, for example.
But that's really dropped in just for display purposes. The film's "ghostly" illusions are central to its mystery, and they are clearly based on Mr. Steinmeyer's other fascinating history, Hiding the Elephant: How Magicians Invented the Impossible and Learned to Disappear.
For a more complete discussion of these books, and the recent trend in "magic histories," you can read my own DaMN story from last year. But you'll have to pay for it.
On the other hand, and typically enough, the DaMN archives do not contain the accompanying feature to that sidebar. You can read that after the jump:
Books: Now you see it ... a tricky world
By Jerome Weeks
In 1997, magicians Penn and Teller came to Dallas to show off a fun new trick. They shot each other in the face with revolvers.
Known as the "bullet catch," it's actually an old trick, more than 100 years old. Typically, Penn and Teller boosted the theatricality with .357 Colts, shooting at each other like duellists, "catching" the rounds in their teeth. Even so, the risks they took were real enough: Several magicians, in fact, have died performing the catch.
Most prominent among these was Chung Ling Soo in 1918. In a colorful new book, The Glorious Deception, Jim Steinmeyer tells us not only how the trick worked and how it failed disastrously, but also how Soo, once almost as famous as Harry Kellar, led a life of hidden identities and marriages -- secrets that unraveled with his death.
It's not true, as is commonly believed, that conjurers never tell their secrets. A little library research can quickly take anyone beyond the rabbit-in-a-hat guidebooks to such classic sources as Mulholland's Book of Magic
But in the past two years, books about magic have taken a smart new turn, splitting off from the biographies of Houdini or the how-to manuals that currently fill the shelves (not counting Ricky Jay's wonderfully quirky antiquarian volumes, such as Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women
The Glorious Deception and Hiding the Elephant, both by Mr. Steinmeyer, Petert Lamont's The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick and Karl Johnson's The Magician and the Cardsharp: Whatever else they do, these books track the development of a single piece of stagecraft. To varying degrees, they are about the meanings of magic.
And inevitably, the meanings of myth. With The Indian Rope Trick,British historian Peter Lamont traces the lineage of the famous illusion in this delightfully chatty, free-ranging book. You may know the rope trick from cartoons. A magician throws a rope into the air; it stands fast like a pole. The magician or his assistant climbs up -- and disappears.
The teensy problem here, Dr. Lamont notes, is that it's impossible. The rope trick never happened, not in full view. What his story follows is the confluence of several legends, the traditional tricks of Indian fakirs and -- the final spark -- an 1890 hoax during a Chicago newspaper war.
But like the nonexistent welfare queen driving her Cadillac, the nonexistent rope trick persisted as "real" for the public despite several debunkings. The appeal of Western fables about the "Mystic East" was too strong. To a degree, we want to believe there is a land where such magic exists.
Western delusions were also partly behind Chung Ling Soo's success. He was really a white American, William Robinson, and his stylish set melded "Oriental" stereotypes, borrowed tricks and gibberish (even his name, Chung Ling Soo, meant nothing). Yet it all made Robison (or rather, Soo) famous.
But what might seem like harmless if mildly racist entertainment had consequences. There was a real Chinese wizard named Ching Ling Foo, and in a would-be showdown in London, he was trumped by Robinson. Robinson didn't know a word of Chinese, but Foo was now the fake. He never toured England again.
While Deception concerns the conflicted interactions of East and West, of showmanship and secrecy, Mr, Steinmeyer's Hiding the Elephant follows an involved "arms race" between science and stagecraft. In the late 19th century, competing magicians slowly combined advances in optics with several mirror tricks that permitted "ghosts" to appear onstage -- to the awe of spiritualists. This ultimately led to the surprisingly simply mechanism that can "vanish" objects in front of an audience.
With these two books, particularly the fascinating Hiding the Elephant Mr. Steinmeyer has written what amount to rich, cultural histories of the Golden Age of magic. They both examine and evoke the feel of the period when the magic show as we know it grew out of vaudeville. But Mr. Steinmeyer, a professional designer of illusions, does use a wider frame as license to stuff in all sorts of anecdotes, tangents and profiles. Sometimes, as in Deception, to distraction.
It's Karl Johnson's The Magician and the Cardsharp,though, that suffers the most from such padding, perhaps because it began life as a magazine story. But it also has an appealingly hard-boiled locale for magic: Depression-era Kansas.
That's where Dai Vernon, an elegant card-trick artist hitting hard times, heard a jailhouse tail of a small-town gambler who could do the impossible. He dealt from the center of the deck. Perfectly.
If another player cuts the deck, the dealer can still pull a second or bottom card but he won't know what it is, after the deck has been cut. Dealing from the center means he can pluck just about any card he wants.
Much like the other three books, Cardsharp has a central narrative (Vernon's quest) that lets Mr. Johnson switch back and forth over a wider topic, in this case, the testy relations between sleight-of-hand artists and gamblers. Card conjurers are a bit of an elite in magic. Their tricks are, by nature, small-scale. They have to be done close-up, making them harder to pull off (Houdini's blunt fingers, for instance, made him notoriously bad with cards).
Yet clearly, these wizards share the same skills as the worst of low-life hustlers. Despite their mutual wariness, the two groups have influenced each other over the decades, and Mr. Johnson details many of the era's gritty cons and gambler's slang.
That's one reason, amid all of the wonders and trickery in these books, Cardsharp feels more down-to-earth. Not better, just different, almost noir-ish. Typically, the other three books sift through layer after historical layer of showbiz myth to find what truly happened (or never did).
Cardsharp tracks a legend -- and finds that it was true.

By Bob West I recently heard a presentation from noted content marketer Marcus Sheridan who summed up his corporate communications / marketing philosophy as, 'They ask. You answer.' He believes a company's blog should strive to answer any and all questions its customers have about its products and services.

3 Marketing Takeaways from AgCatalyst
by Bob West For the last two years, the agency folks at Adfarm have produced a two-day conference called AgCatalyst. You don't need to be an Adfarm client (or media company!) to attend — the event is open to anyone in ag marketing communications looking to advance their own marketing knowledge and efforts.

The Poster Child for Content Marketing Speaks & Ag Marketers Should Listen
by Bob West If you're heard or read much about content marketing, you've likely heard the story of Marcus Sheridan and his pool company, River Pools & Spas, in Richmond, Va. Attendees at the 2014 AgCatalyst Conference produced by ad agency Adfarm got to hear the story first hand from Sheridan, himself, and it's a story any marketer should hear. The Cliff Notes version: Sheridan's company was doing fine
Need Proof Mobile Matters More than Ever? Here you go.

No one doubts the growth of mobile web browsing at this point,

Digital Audiences Continue Growing in Ag
By Bob West Meister Media sold approximately 20% more enewsletter and website ads in the first half of 2014 than in the same period 2013, and this trend only will only continue as ag professionals rely more than ever on media enewsletters and websites for their information and marketers adjust their advertising plans accordingly.

5 Questions to Ask Yourself Regarding Your Website

In honor of a scintillating NBA Playoffs thus far, and since the 2008-09 NBA product season is all but over, we crashed the (Beckett.com) boards earlier this week to solicit feedback on the top hoops products of the year.
What follows is one particularly thoughtful response from Beckett.com member Josh Palmer (jpleazme805):
I like 2008-09 [Fleer] Hot Prospects, too. I only bought one box and pulled the "Rose," so I didn't buy any more. I fell in love with the design – basic but eye-catching. The card shop I bought the box at is in Santee, Calif. It just opened a few months ago. I forgot the name of it; I've only been there once.

Every once in awhile, we get an interesting email from a reader that stands out from the rest for one reason or another.
Here's a selection of a message from Debby Johnson of Gaithersburg, Md.:
"I'm hoping that you may be able to help me. I was watching the video of the 2009 Bowman box break that [Chris Olds] and Brian Fleischer had on May 12. I watched because I was curious to see the product and to see if by some miraculous chance, I would actually get to see my son's first Bowman card. My son is Tommy Johnson, a catcher with the Seattle Mariners organization.
"And miracles do happen! At about 10 minutes and 58 seconds into your video, Brian was opening a pack and he said something like "and here we have a nice Refractor card of Tommy Johnson " he turned the card to the camera and it was, indeed, my son Tommy. We will be getting base cards only from Topps, but I would love to get one of whatever is available. I know there will be a Chrome … didn't know about the Refractor and certainly don't know what others may be available in the set."
I answered her questions about which cards he will appear on in the set, offering some details about scarcity of the various parallels and Refractors.
Then I offered her a trade — the Refractor for a few answers about the hobby and her son, perhaps a different look at someone who many collectors will find in their packs of 2009 Bowman.

Topps' first football product of the new season, 2009 Bowman Draft, won't be available nationwide until Wednesday (May 20). So imagine my surprise when I trudged upstairs this afternoon following my lunchtime workout to find two boxes of the product sitting on my floor.
I ripped through the 24 packs of one box quickly in an effort to provide those football collectors chomping at the bit with some early results. We're going to save the other box for an episode of Box Busters that will air on Beckett.com early next week.

We recently busted a box of the new KISS Ikons cards from Press Pass, noting that the Blood parallels — which have a layer of red gloss on the cards — were impressive.
Apparently some KISS fans agree as a 90-card set of the cards found one in every four packs sold on eBay for $352.87 on Thursday.
Not bad. The sale certainly backs up the fact that Press Pass has a genuine hit on its hands so far.
Oh, and here's a tip — if you can't find it at your typical card spots (and based on many reports, you probably can't) try looking at Best Buy.
Chris Olds has collected sports cards and memorabilia since 1987. Before coming to Beckett Media, he wrote about the hobby for the Orlando Sentinel on his blog, SportsStuff, and for the San Antonio Express-News and The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News.

In case you missed it (and I'm almost certain you did), former Arena Football League star Troy Bergeron signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons earlier this week.
The speedy Columbus, Ga., native burst onto the AFL scene with the Georgia Force in 2005 and earned Rookie of the Year honors that season on the strength of 105 receptions, 1,372 yards and 31 receiving touchdowns. He sat out the 2006 season while attempting to land with an NFL team and had brief stints with the Falcons (training camp) and Buffalo Bills (practice squad).
He returned to the AFL in 2007 and 2008 and boasts a downright gaudy three-year stat line: 329 catches, 4,375 yards and 97 total touchdowns.
It's worth noting that the Force – idle this season with the rest of the AFL as the league attempts to reorganize and return in 2010 – is owned by Arthur Blank, the same man who owns the Falcons.
Why do you care about any of this? Here's why: If Bergeron – 6-2, 195 – gets a legitimate chance in camp with an ideal situation like the Falcons have (great, young QB . . . power running game . . . talent and experience in the receiving department with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez) and you're the kind of football collector who's into super sleepers, I think Bergeron's your guy.
I'm just sayin'.
In case you're wondering (and even if you're not, I'm giving you this information anyway), Bergeron appeared on 16 different Upper Deck trading cards in 2005 and 2006, nine from UD's 2005 and 2006 AFL sets and seven more from 2006 NFL products Hot Prospects, Sweet Spot and Rookie Debut. His Hot Prospects (#133) and Sweet Spot (#136) RCs are valued at $6 apiece.
But it can be argued that Bergeron's two certified autograph cards – 2006 Arenagraphs ($30) and 2006 Arenagraphs Duals with former Georgia Force teammate Derek Lee ($60) – are his most desirable cards.
There, take that.

We've cracked the first boxes of 2009 Topps Series 2 baseball cards and it's easy to say that the strong points of Series 1 — stunning and unique photography as well as a wide range of cards and variety in each box — are back.
While most of one other box's contents (tragically, we ran out of tape roughly 30 packs in) will be revealed on Box Busters here on Thursday, here's a sampling of what was found in a second hobby box. (For a little more background on the set, click here.)
There are key rookies to be found, veterans in their new threads, several insert sets — including a selection of World Baseball Classic releases — as well as some great photos that highlighted the first release earlier this year. (Not so great is Shawn Marcum's photo unless you're into Jay Johnstone-style goofiness — but check out that baseball-inspired tattoo.)

The second series of 2009 Topps baseball cards are less than a week away from their official release date and we've got a sneak peek at 10 of the Sketch Cards that will be found in packs.
New Jersey-based artist Paul Lempa, who we profiled in Beckett Baseball issue No. 42 in April, has graciously shared all of his miniature painting cards that are just 2.5 by 3.5 inches in size.
(We hate calling these miniature masterpieces sketches as they are intricately detailed paintings the size of baseball cards that literally take hours to produce. Scans of these cards really don't do them justice, either, as the texture and subtle shades of color in nearly every region of Lempa's cards are fascinating.)
And you'll note we said all of his cards as each artist for Series 2 has reportedly only produced 10 Sketch Cards apiece for the product — expect an official announcement from Topps on that before the product's release on Wednesday — meaning they just might be some of the best Sketch Cards ever seen.
See them all after the jump.

Steiner Sports announced its Yankee Stadium sales items on Tuesday with seats and, get this, authentic turf among the offerings.
Want to own the sod with the Yankees logo from behind home plate as seen above? That'll cost you $50,000 for the 20-foot by 20-foot section and comes "complete with a bag of peat moss, grass seed, and a flag stating its origin: Yankee Stadium"
But that's not all … you'll also receive a 16×20 photo of the final game, "a Joe DiMaggio Diary page along with instructions on how to properly care and maintain the sod, the official interlocking NY logo stencil and white paint."
The sod will be delivered — and installed — free if you live within a 25-mile radius of the stadium, if not you have to pay a fee of $7 per mile. (Darn shipping will get you every time.)
Also available are 4×80-foot patches between each base — $6,000 a pop — or patches from the outfield a 20×20 square for $10,000.
Single square feet are also available for $120 apiece if you can't swing for the fences.
If that doesn't do it for you, you can opt for the $80 3-inch square of freeze-dried grass that can be displayed proudly — and you never have to water it. It comes in a display case as seen above.
If horticulture isn't your thing, stadium seats also are available — single seats for $749, seat pairs for $1,499 or your specific season ticket seats for $1,999.
If you're more of a bleacher creature, never fear as those will be cut into segments as well for $399 and up.
Countless other items from the stadium can be found at auction through Steiner by clicking here. A mini fridge? $2,000. A section of stadium facade? $50,000. There's apparently something for everyone as long as they love them pinstripes.
Obviously the demand for Yankee Stadium memorabilia is there as they have one of the richest traditions in all of sports, but it probably takes a pretty dedicated fanatic to want the sod installed in the backyard.

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was a prolific author. In a writing career of thirty-five years, he wrote forty-seven novels, seven non-fiction books, dozens of short stories, two plays, and an autobiography.Trollope's narrative style is distinctive. He tells you what his characters do and say, what they are thinking, and what he thinks about what they are doing and thinking. Call it "third-person omniscient and chatty".The typical Trollope novel is at least six hundred pages long and contains three or more plotlines. One plot is always a love plot. Within the first hundred pages, a young man and a young woman fall in love. But there's always something in the way. Sometimes the girl has a case of Wrong Guy First. Sometimes the boy has a previous engagement. Sometimes the couple has no money to live on. Sometimes there's a Parental Marriage Veto, perhaps caused by the lack of money. Don't worry; Trollope's love plots almost always have happy endings.The other plots can be about anything; a perjury trial (Orley Farm), the collapse of a marriage (He Knew He Was Right), a clergyman accused of theft (The Last Chronicle of Barset), life in the British Civil Service (The Three Clerks), a massive stock swindle (The Way We Live Now), or British parliamentary politics (Phineas Finn, Phineas Redux, and The Prime Minister). These plots can have bittersweet or even downer endings.
Trollope's most important books are:
Tropes found in Trollope's works include:


text: We have 5 children so laundry in itself is a full time job. One way I have made sorting clean laundry easier is by purchasing different brands of underwear for my three boys. I also purchase 3 different kinds of socks (no-see, anklet, and crew). When folding clean laundry I can easily put the clothes in their right piles just by looking at the brand of underwear or type of sock. It also helps by sight to tell the correct child to get their dirty socks out of the bathroom/family room ;) The girls' laundry is a little easier because their socks/underwear are colored in "girlie" colors. Their age difference is a big gap, so they are easily sorted by size.
