I Wrote a Christian E-BookSubmitted by wraiththirteen on Fri, 09/20/2013 - 20:56
I wrote a Christian E-book. Its called "What the Bible Says About Dating". http://www.amazon.com/What-Bible-About-Dating-ebook/dp/B00EP...
I wrote the book for several reasons. First of all because I am single and wanted to study what the Bible had to say about the subject (note I define dating as finding a spouse). Second because I really love the Bible. Third because everyone kept saying the Bible didn't say anything about dating, and it ticked me off cause finding a spouse is pretty important. Fourth because I have questions, and not only is no one answering some of the questions that I had they were confused when I asked them. Finally because several of the people who talked about the subject ticked me off, cause they said it was a Bible discussion and then contradicted the Bible.
I do not know if this is a Bible study just for me or others but if you are a Christian single and you read it I trust you will get some meat from it. If you are a Christian parent I trust you will appreciate the perspective of a christian single who just wants to honor God. What I wrote is not shallow. If you put it on microsoft word its about 92 pages long at 14 single space font (should I have made it double space, and yes I just thought about that). For those who have been in the dp community for a while and have pointed out that I normally have poor grammer worry not I had someone else fix my grammar. Especially after a sixth grader made fun of my run on sentences.
I dont know if posting this is considered spamming or not if it is go ahead and delete this post. The only reason why I started a new forum topic is I used my E-book in another thread and noticed that it popped up on the front page with a link to both the book and the post where I listed it, and I want to explain what and why I did to those in the DP community who are also Christians.

Congratulations !!. I just
Congratulations !!. I just want to point out that many other religions would share Christian values on dating/marriage. Case in point Islam. Another example - Ghandi who stressed the value of Chastity and was opposed to birth control. The values of Chastity and Purity are universal. Judaism may also fall into this category.
I agree with those concepts
but the Bible goes a lot deeper than that. For instance the two greatest commandments is to Love God, and to love your neighbor, the Bible defines what love is in a very long definition in I Corinthians 13, and I make the argument that if you can love your neighbor and learn to love your enemy (another concept the Bible promotes) as a single person then one day when you get married you will be practiced in love. Heck if you can love your enemy you should have no problem loving your wife.
Good for you.
Nice to hear of a young person who (presumably)understands what his/her Creator's plans are for marriage and family.
I have taught my kids similarly.
PS. There are two publications I read monthly that may be interested in what you have put together. Both of these publications care greatly about the youth today and their eternal salvation.
Here are the links:

will look into the berean call website, already have the book what love is this.
I dont know if I would say I understand Gods plan. A lot of what I wrote is intended for singles who are like me older, and completly single, and how the Bible clearly shows how basic Christianity prepares us for marriage. You could say I believe to find the one you have to be the one, cant remember if that phrase is in the book but the concept is.
Chapter one (which you can read for free) deals with the fact that Biblical love is not romance, and how we are to practice it, and how that clearly leads to a good marriage one day. Chapter 3 deals with the basic will of God (things God's word always says is God's will). From faith to meekness, to honor, to a slightly different thought on bitterness (Didnt deal with the bitter people but the object of their bitterness and what the Bible shows), and how Genesis 24 deals with how this leads to finding "the one". Again the Bible does a really neat job of this, I personally think this book is for any unmarried person not in a relationship, but its focus is older singles.
9 chapters are clear teaching directly from genisis 24, and 3 of the chapters more or less deal with my critisism of some "christian" ideas that contradict the Bible, or are said to be the Bible but are not.
I wrote what I wrote because every other book that I know of on the subject talked like you were already in a relationship, and my attitude on that is when someone is in a relationship their eyes gloss over and they listen to no one, best deal with building god biblical foundations. if you let me compare it to a boxing match, its like everyone tells you your whole life that you will be in a boxing match sometime, and you dont know when, but its going to happen, so you watch other boxing matches to prepare, and all you do is watch, and when the day comes for you to finally box lets just say its ugly. If you know you got a boxing match coming up you should be hitting the bags, and learning to move, and jumping rope. Sure none of these things are boxing per se but it gets you ready for the match. I see Christian dating as such, we spend all our lives looking at how everybody else does their relationships, and when we get into the relationship we have no real practice, at love, or faith, or meekness, or temperance, especially this generation, we have little concept of how we are supposed to treat people, and we are marrying somebody just like us. We know about sex though, that is so important we have classes in school about it.
note my grammar was thoroughly checked by a relative of mine who is a teacher so it is fixed in the book.
Not for me, but I admire your
Not for me, but I admire your entrepreneurial style. More people should take a chance and do the same (if they are so inclined).
One thing you might consider
It may be well, to just give this e-book away with no cost, to anyone seeking more of what you wrote.
"Freely ye have received, freely give"
" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~
Why give it away if the
Why give it away if the author can make money on it? Because it involves a religious point of view? Perhaps this person will eventually be able to make a living writing. That would be great for them.
I remember reading a survey that showed the results of stolen MP3 music files over downloading networks and one of the larger types stolen was religious music! Deadbeats! :)
In all honesty
the easiest way for me to distribute this book was kindle and kindle charges. If I was running a website I probably would have left it free but I dont, so I leave it up to kindle.
May many be blessed by the truth that was given you!
" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~
one more thing
kindle allows you to loan the book to other people electronically.
I'm looking into eBooks as well
is there any cost in publishing it? I was looking at Lulu.com today and it seems to be "free" to publish while they make 20% off of each sale.
Would love some insight :)

no cost
but amazon makes a percentage of every sale. Although now I would suggest you go through createspace.com first cause they have better tools than the kindle direct publishing. And they allow people to buy your book in printed format with out any upfront cost.
Thank you!
So how do these ePub services, like createspace, make money? Does Amazon kick back some of that percentage?

amazon owns createspace.
I personally think amazon is trying to put the old established companies out of business by making it a lot easier for new authors to get published independently. If they get all the new talent the old publishing companies are going to have to rethink the way they have been doing business the last century. It will be interesting to see how the free market works this out.
Ahhh ok.
Seems that there are many things that focus on the SELF part these days. So many resources at your disposal.
Thank you for your insights and best of success with your book as well.

Wish all the best to you and your book!
Although, it's not really my cup of tea.
How can I get a hard copy?
I would like to reward you for your effort and other things I like about your book. Would you please contact me so it can be arranged.
I don't do "cloud" anything.
I especially appreciate that (as far as I could tell from what I saw on Amazon) you use the Authorized version in all your Scripture quotes. I never buy books that quote other (per)versions.
I also like your approach to the subject, that it is based on the idea of loving and pleasing God first.
I look forward to reading the rest of the book.

I now have hard copies, through createspace. http://www.amazon.com/What-Bible-Says-about-Dating-ebook/dp/...
Thanks, Wraith,
I followed the link and was in the process of placing an order when I noticed that they were charging me sales tax. So I cancelled the order until I could find out where the book is originating from. (The Constitution prohibits sales taxes on products shipped across state lines.)
So what state are you from and also what state is createspace headquartered in?
I will re-order once I ensure no unlawful taxes are being extorted from me by Amazon.

Are you familiar with the
Are you familiar with the pressures the states put on Amazon to record taxes not so long ago? The states, in as rough shape as they've ever been, put the screws to Amazon to charge taxes to their customers in all the states since people typically will not report their purchases on their tax forms. Amazon was given some kind of deal with the IRS and they in turn are building out fulfillment centers in many states now.
Amazon's Fulfillment Centers
Hi, VU, would you mind explaining why Amazon is building fulfillment centers in states? It has something to do with taxes, I see, but what about taxes I don't understand.
Some day I might write a book or two, and I want to understand publishing far better than I do. So, on the way to publishing I pick up what information I can to choose what I should do when the time comes to publish.
Thanks, VU.

oh yes
I think it shows how bad sales tax is for business.
One would think that the author would not even be charged, and especially not taxed for his own book!
This is why I am a big proponent of writing your own contracts and agreements, or at least modifying the ones presented to you by others.
When we accept, sign and endorse a contract that has points with which we do not agree, we perpetuate that point or practice. Though small in its immediate impact, the principle that we acquiesce to something to which we do not agree leads to a habit of capitulating. That is the essence of how we got to the point we now find ourselves in this country. One hundred and fifty years of consent to little infringements against our wishes leads to no respect whatever for the will of the people.
"It's a Republic, Ma'am, if you can keep it," comes to mind. We have not kept it.
Well, there I go again...
Wish you well in your sales.
If we could connect somehow, I would be glad to send you a money order for the full asking price on Amazon of a hard copy, in exchange for a .pdf file.
That way you the author could reap the benefits of your labor instead of sharing it with some corporate spin-off.
I work at not enlarging the purses of corporations.

We're talking about a digital product until it is printed, so it would make sense to use the printers nearest you to save on fuel costs. I'd assume the product is printed and bound in your state. As I've learned from the IRS, a digital file delivered is not taxable, while a physical object delivered is.
at this time
I cant afford to print in a hard copy other wise I would have. I have a few buddies that have expressed this too. its just right now unless a publisher decides they like it I can not afford the few thousand dollars it would take to print a few thousand prints of the book.
Use Createspace
Use Amazon's on demand self-publishing company, createspace.
That's how my brother and I self-published our book: America's Youth vs Big Government http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Youth-vs-Big-Government/dp/09...
They print on demand and take the cut on the sale, so there is really very little out of pocket on your behalf.

Thanks to the combined efforts of manga translator kransom, ANN Astro Toy reviewer Dave, and especially the very dangerous wah, I finally have in my hands the Japanese Genshiken Nidaime (aka Genshiken Second Season, aka Genshiken II). While it's been a while since the show came out, I'm still quite happy to add it to my collection. Now I just need to get the English-language release from NIS America, whenever that's coming out.
Now why would I buy Japanese blurays at exorbitant prices instead of waiting for a more reasonably priced US release? It's because, at the end of the day, I am the Ogiue Maniax.
Above the bluray discs themselves you can see both a signboard from Kio Shimoku and an illustration collection. Both of these items are included because I had preordered all four volumes at Toranoana. This was available at multiple anime shops in Japan, and I chose Toranoana because it came with the Ogiue and Sue signboard, as well as an illustration collection with the two on the cover as well. Those of you who have shopped or have tried to shop from Toranoana are probably aware that they only ship within Japan, and it's thanks to wah's generosity that I was able to give them a temporary home first, while the other two helped traffic it over. Again, thanks to all of you, next meal's on me.
Since the last chapter, Madarame has been mulling over Hato's Valentine's chocolate. Feeling a sense of happiness over receiving them yet also confused and alarmed by this very reaction, he seeks the advice of Kugayama, who is the only other guy out of the old Genshiken crew to not have a significant other and thus won't spill the beans to the girls. As the two get increasingly drunk over some barbecue, Madarame reveals where he believes the confusion lies: to him, Hato is a man and therefore someone Madarame can relate to, whereas women are so foreign to him that he doesn't know how to even begin dealing with their affections. Kugayama suggests going to a soapland to help him get over his fear of women, but realizing that it's probably too big a jump for either of them they consider instead going to a cabaret club, more specifically Keiko's.
For a chapter basically consisting of two scenes and a brief look into Yajima's attempt to improve her figure drawing with the help of Yoshitake, there's actually a whole lot to unpack. At this point, it's something I expect from Genshiken even putting aside my own tendency to analyze the series in depth, but the more I thought about the simple events and topics of this chapter, the more complex the exploration of otaku sexuality and its perception in the otaku mind becomes.
Although I've had to re-assess the manga's messages when it comes to attraction and sexuality a number of times, at this point one thing continues to be certain: Genshiken presents the idea that one's "2D" and "3D" preferences neither overlap entirely nor are they truly separate. It wasn't that Hato was in denial when he originally said his preference for BL existed purely in the realm of doujinshi and the like, but that he honestly felt that way. However, as we've learned, even the distinction between "2D" and "3D" is tenuous, as the characters of Genshiken ship real people (or at least imaginary approximations of real people). I would argue that BL was not Hato's realization of homosexuality, but something which made the idea a distinct possibility in his mind that helped him to clarify his feelings for Madarame.
While I don't think Madarame is having the same thing happen to him, I do think his actions in this chapter reflect a similar semi-disconnect between his 2D and 3D desires. Consider the fact that one of Madarame's warning signals was that he began re-playing his otoko no ko eroge. One would expect the situation to be that ever since Madarame received the chocolates that he began to look into those games, but he in fact had them for a while. While Madarame maintained is self-identity as heterosexual, he was playing those types of games the whole time, and as implied in the chapters where he first discusses his experience with those games, it's less about being into guys 2D or 3D and more about the use of sexual expression coded generally as "female" in otaku media that appeals to him. Hato, who similarly performs "femininity" looks to be hitting the same triggers in Madarame, and the very fact that this deliberateness in the end positions Hato to be male is also what makes Madarame feel as if he can relate to Hato better than any woman.
The female sex is something Madarame has viewed his entire life as a realm of distant fantasy, only barely entering his purview of reality when Kasukabe suggested that maybe they could've had something if circumstances had been different. This, I think, is why Madarame has trouble deciding what he feels in reaction to Sue and Angela (via Ohno) giving him romantic chocolates as well. Madarame has expressed interest in 2D characters similar to Sue, and there's no doubt that he finds Angela attractive on some level, but they're a foreign existence, both figuratively and literally. In that sense the anime girl and the real girl are equally "farfetched." This is also what makes the Chekhov's gun that is Keiko's heavily photoshopped business card so powerful. Not only is it the case that Madarame's refusal to visit the cabaret club back in Chapter 59 potentially overturned the next chapter, and not only is Keiko one of the other girls into Madarame, but Keiko herself plays a "character" at her workplace. Even firmly within the realm of "3D," the line between fantasy and reality blurs.
Another thing I find interesting about this whole notion that Hato's feelings are easier to respond to because Madarame can relate to them as a fellow guy is how this somewhat mirrors one of the reasonings touted for why people get into BL of shounen manga. Traditionally, female characters and love interests in battle/sports/competition manga have been on the sidelines, and most of the displays of fiery passion consist of male rivals and enemies confronting and antagonizing each other, which leads to more time and effort to devoted to those relationships than the ones between the hero and his would-be girlfriend. While this isn't quite the same as what Madarame and Hato have, what is similar is this concept of guys being able to understand each other on some deeper level (or with girls in yuri), whether it's intrinsic or something that's developed over time. In the case of Madarame, it's perhaps an inevitability given his inexperience with women. In a way, Kugayama's solution of breaking the "mystique" of the opposite sex through the use of a "professional," while extremely typical in various cultures (there was even a King of the Hill episode on the subject) is itself also a breakthrough for the otaku-minded, as it involves a desire to get away from the ideal of sexual purity and enter "reality," though even that conception of the world is fueled by a fantasy. There's a more I could say about Kugayama as well, but I'll leave it alone for now except to say that Kugayama in some ways occupies Yajima's position.
As for the scene with Yajima, Yoshitake, Hato, and Sue, although it's fairly short, it is notable that Yajima is actually trying to improve her drawing despite being previously resigned to suck at it forever, and Hato's mention that he's been drawing manga lately is likely going to mean that he's gotten past his previous dilemma of only being able to draw BL when dressed as a girl and a rather bizarre style when as a boy. The "disappearance" of the two voices that accompanied Hato (his other self and the other Kaminaga) were likely a prelude to this development. I suspect we'll see more in the next chapter.
Also, Ogiue does not appear in this chapter but is at least mentioned twice, once when Madarame believes Sasahara would definitely tell her if Madarame were to divulge his secret struggle, and once when Yoshitake states that it was Ogiue's suggestion for Yajima to do some rough sketches.
I can't say I'm entirely surprised that a Genshken hug pillow would exist some day. Kio Shimoku once drew a fake Ogiue hug pillow, and it's not even that farfetched for the pillow to be Sue of all characters. When I think about it, though, isn't Sue pretty much the polar opposite of the typical "hug pillow" character? She's not just an awkward otaku, she's an awkward otaku who actively makes others feel awkward, as opposed to some ideally flawed character. Or has the popularity of Tomoko from Watamote changed the dynamic and now this sort of girl is "in?"
I'm honestly curious as to who's going to end up buying this. I get the feeling it'll require a very specific and special type of fan.
After being absent for many chapters, Yoshitake Risa makes her return. Having given up a potentially successful career in basketball to take the entrance exam for Shiiou University, she and her older sister Rika have a heart to heart talk the night before, which quickly turns extremely otaku. At the same time, Yajima, Hato, and Sue have their own conversation about the younger Yoshitake, based around the fact that part of her inspiration for trying to get into their university is Hato and his crossdressing. Despite waking up late, a freak snowstorm delays the test, and Risa manages to make it there on time and pass the test.
The title of this chapter, "Little Sister Entrance Exam II," is a reference to when Sasahara's sister Keiko tried to get into Shiiou University herself. She failed, though Risa appears to be a good deal sharper academically, which changes the result.
This month's Genshiken, despite having a clear general focus on Risa and her test, is still surprisingly complex to the extent that I'm not sure if I can cover everything, though to be honest I rarely every do despite my attempts. There are three areas which I think are especially interesting, though, so I'll focus on those. The first would be Risa's relationship with Hato, or more specifically her image of him. An unabashed shotacon, Hato's naked body is what made Risa realize that her interests could be fulfilled in the adult world. However, the fact that she sees Hato as a kind of real life version of her ideal male fantasy (she asks him to wear legs-exposing short pants if she passes, which over the course of the chapter degenerates into some kind of reverse-gender take on zettai ryouiki), clashes in an intriguing way with the developments we've seen Hato go through all this time. He's gone through a period where he refused to wear women's clothing, and then come back around as he's accepted his own feelings for Madarame, and here Risa is projecting her own interests onto him. What was already a complicated situation continues to grow, and that's not even mentioning Risa's own gender-bending actions.
The second area would be the start of Hato's "harem." Recently, the focus of Genshiken has been the number of people interested in Madarame, which the series has been using to explore the idea of the harem manga by way of the otaku sensibilities of the Genshiken characters. In this chapter, we not only see once again that Yajima has feelings for Hato, but that there might also be something with Sue, and Risa expresses her own interests in Hato (even if they're mixed up with her otaku fantasies). Then there's also Konno the googly-eyed goddess, who doesn't appear in this chapter. Suddenly the series isn't about one man's "harem" (even though the term is kind of bad for describing when two or more people like you), but two intersecting ones. Granted, Yajima's fear of Sue seems fairly unfounded, and I think it's meant to show more her concern over potentially being outclassed, as well as her realization that it's getting harder for her to deny her own feelings for Hato when she references her and Risa as "rivals." I also find it notable that Risa is the only one to state some sort of interest in Hato to him, instead of only confessing to friends.
The third area is of course the subject of the entrance exam itself. Rika's advice to her little sister is this mix of big sister attitude and fellow understanding as an otaku. In particular, Risa struggles with whether it was okay to walk away from basketball on a whim, to which Rika essentially responds that being an otaku means living by your passions even if it means making seeming unreasonable choices. The idea is that otaku aren't as able to stifle their interests in the hopes of integrating with the rest of the world, and Risa already has done a relatively bang-up job what with her successful high school life. Something about this really strikes a chord with me, probably because I know others who'd probably give the same advice, and it's something I'd encourage as well. On the other hand, this advice can also be abused such that one might refuse to better oneself, but that's the kind of risk that exists with this sort of philosophy.
One last note: Sue's snow shenanigans at Madarame's place make me think of her as a kindred spirit to Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. Now that's some crossover fanart I'd be interested in.
Sue's moved in next to Hato and the awkwardness is palpable. The rest of the Genshiken girls pick their horses in the Madarame race: Yoshitake believes in Keiko x Mada, Yajima is for Hato x Mada, Ogiue supports Sue x Mada, and Ohno picks Angela x Mada. Meanwhile, Sue and Hato visit Madarame to take care of him while he's still recovering from his illness. There, the harem-like scenario prompts Hato to make his intentions clear and obvious.
I find the discussion between the girls about who they think would work best with Madarame fascinating for a couple of reasons. First, you can tell that each girl's pick has different degrees of idealism and pragmatism. Yajima and Ohno are kind of longshots because of gender and distance respectively, while Ogiue for example thinks Sue and Madarame are a good match and Yoshitake's preference for Keiko, as she's explained before, has to do with trying to keep all her friends. Second, I find that it calls back to one of the basic questions of Nidaime, which is what would this club be like if it were mostly girls? Here, we can see how the act of pairing common to female otaku extends beyond simply the realm of BL and into the possibility of heterosexual relationships as well. It's also interesting seeing them blur that fantasy/reality line, especially with Yajima who digs Hato but is a sucker for the Hato x Mada pairing.
The main topic of the chapter, however, is the rivalry between Hato and Sue. Hato's begun to make some serious moves, like learning how to cook better so that he doesn't disappoint Madarame, dropping as many lines as he possibly can to make his feelings all but crystal clear ("I'd like to cook for you again, Madarame, but without Sue around"), and outright mentioning the "harem" atmosphere. Yet, Hato finds that he doesn't mind being a part of this harem, something which I can only attribute to the very staticness that is at the core of harem manga as a genre. In this state, Hato gets to express his feelings without there being any commitment one way or another, allowing him to participate without the consequences of having "winners and losers." In other words, Hato probably thinks this is the closest he'll ever get to really being with Madarame.
If there's one thing about this chapter that really stands out visually, it's the intensity of the blushing. Sue, Hato, and Madarame seem to have this reciprocal relationship where when one person's face turns red, the other's goes one step further, like they're having an arms race using their cheeks. The blushing possesses an almost three-dimensional quality, like it fills the very room I'm sitting in, and I can't tell whether or not I should be blushing as well. I think the key to this is how Kio successfully communicates the escalating sense of embarrassment that the characters, especially Hato, experience in this chapter.
Seeing Sue go wide-eyed over Hato's soup, for a brief moment, I thought Sue might actually start to fall in love with him instead. Of course, that's not what happens, and instead you get this sort of grudging respect from Sue for Hato. As stated in the chapter, Sue mainly only eats convenience store bentou (I think the reference she makes in this episode is actually to Ben-To!), and while those things tend to be quite tasty (seriously, they're really good), it doesn't match up to the level of a proper home-cooked meal. As Sue becomes increasingly prominent in the manga, I wonder if she'll begin to express self-doubts similar to Yajima's to go with her perpetual shyness around Madarame.
Probably the most interesting topic in this chapter for me is the way Madarame feels that he simply cannot rely on harem anime and manga to navigate this situation. His reason is not simply that it's unrealistic, but that the tendency for harems in shows to keep everyone at arms' length so that everybody can be happy and the protagonist can have fun without any real repercussions doesn't work when it comes to real people. Even indecisiveness has its consequences, and as we've seen already, it's a topic where Madarame is surprisingly thoughtful.
Next chapter is the return of Yoshitake's basketball-playing little sister of questionable tastes, Risa. I'm actually pretty excited, as I've been hoping for Kio to do more with her, especially because she had a few plot threads left from last time. There's no telling if any of them will get resolved, but I'm just curious how she might factor into this whole complex relationship web, given that she also may or may not be interested in Hato.
One last thing: I can't believe how good Ogiue looks in this chapter. I feel like Kio over the course of Nidaime has been working with somewhat unfamiliar territory when it comes to Ogiue's character design. It's substantially different from her old look, and I feel like he's been gradually getting more comfortable with expressing Ogiue's character as she currentlyexists in a way which properly captures where she's been in the past and how she's overcome all of that. In a way, she almost gives off a Kasukabe vibe, but in a way which is unmistakably Ogiue. The hoodie/dress shirt combination doesn't hurt, either.
Chapter 97 of Genshiken II has quite a few significant developments, but they appear almost when you least expect them.
Yoshitake and Yajima decide to check out Hato's new apartment, which is closer to the university. As they relax together, Yoshitake persists in trying to get Yajima to make a move on Hato or at least do something. The conversation goes to the topic of Madarame (who's been looking for a new job), who then turns out to have a cold, prompting a visit.
While Hato uses his spare key to check up on Madarame and returns it, Yoshitake finally gets Yajima to admit that she has some feelings for Hato. As they discuss the fact that there's actually an open apartment in Madarame's building, Sue pulls up in a moving truck revealing that she will be living next to Hato (edit: not Madarame like I previously thought) from now on.
I find this chapter fairly difficult to process because it progresses so deceptively. What appears to start out as a Hato-centric chapter slowly reveals itself to be actually more of a Yajima and Yoshitake story, while the idle chit chat of the beginning eventually transforms into probably the most serious conversation about sexual orientation seen thus far in Genshiken. This unusual pacing makes it so that when Yajima finally quietly and grudgingly admits that she has some feelings for Hato ("…I don't not like him"), it's so subtle yet upfront that at least for me personally it feels like there's a delayed response, like I've been hit by Kenshiro and am just waiting for my head to explode once it fully processes all of the implications.
Yajima's moment plays out in the page below, and just the juxtaposition between her face and Yoshitake's delightfully beaming face over getting her friend to finally come out with what Yoshitake herself has known all along is probably the highlight of the chapter. I know that manga sometimes gets ragged on for focusing too much on faces and not trying to draw more anatomically realistic characters or backgrounds, and then that the common response is to whip out something with really nice rendered art like Berserk. However, I think it's important to appreciate skillfull use of faces in terms of creating a strong sense of flow and composition, even when it's just two panels.
There's also this sense of a narrative passing of the baton as while Hato has come to accept his feelings for Madarame, now it's Yajima's turn for conflict and confusion. In Yajima's case it has nothing to do with her own sexual orientation. Instead, as far as I can interpret things, it has a lot to do with her own poor self-image mixed with some guilt over how she's treated Hato and the realization that Hato feels something for Madarame. More than her appearance or her fondness for Shounen Jump analogues, it's moments like these, where Yajima diminishes the value of her own romantic affections in favor of what's already where, that makes Yajima feel really and truly like an awkward otaku.
As an aside, as much as I like Kinnikuman myself, I'm always a little surprised to see it referenced so readily in anime and manga, a reminder of how popular and beloved it really is. In this case, it's Yajima using the Hell's Guillotine, a signature move of the villain Akuma Shogun when she retaliates against Yoshitake's antics.
When Yoshitake discusses sexuality, she mentions the idea that the fujoshi fantasy world of BL pairings is far different from the reality of a homosexual relationship and that there are (social) challenges awaiting anyone who accepts being part of a sexual minority. Not only is this rather poignant and serious, but together with the fact that she considers the likely reality that someone is going to get hurt in this no matter what, this chapter really highlights the fact that Yoshitake really thinks a lot of her friends. That said, she also kind of brushes aside her high school friends in a comment to Yajima and Hato, thought I take that as her having different types of friendships with different people. Even her friendships with Yajima and Hato individually aren't quite the same.
As for Sue, the comedy potential for her living next to Hato is obvious, but it casts an interesting context in retrospect on Sue's appearance in Chapter 95. While Sue being surrounded by mountains of merchandise epitomizes her as a mighty otaku, it also gives off this stark image of loneliness and isolation, which might explain in part the decision to move.
The last thing I want to do is go back to the faces, because this chapter has some of the best I've ever seen in Genshiken. You can already see in the Yajima-Yoshitake image above. The series has always been pretty good with the expressions, especially with the old Ogiue's intense glares and Yoshitake's general aloofness, but I feel like they're on a whole other level here.
Seeing this Ogiue face below fills me with a strange kind of glee. In it, she's basically refusing to get anywhere near a beauty salon. It's interesting but also completely in character for her to be especially uncomfortable going to that sort of place even though she's become much more fashionable over time.
Volume 15 of the Genshiken II manga came out in Japan recently, and with it a limited edition featuring an OVA (or OAD as they call it) where they animate a couple of chapters from the original Genshiken. Covering Sue's stay over at Ogiue's apartment and the group's new year's shrine visit, it's a part of the story that should be completely familiar territory to Genshiken fans, and watching it has made me want to both consider its role or purpose as the first Nidaime OAD and think a little about the story itself.
When you think about it, this OAD didn't have to be the new year's shrine visit, but it is in many ways the most appropriate given Nidaime. Ogiue's trauma and the trip to Karuizawa would have been too long and arguably too heavy for this. The graduation in the last chapter of the original Genshiken would have been nice but is of course more of a finale than anything else. The no-dialogue chapter would have been an interesting part to adapt, but that would negate the entire new set of voice actors they've brought in. With the new year's shrine visit, however, you get various threads which lead directly into Nidaime, particularly what's been covered by the anime. Ogiue shows her softer side, which plays into her role in the second series. Sue expresses her desire to study in Japan, thus setting the stage for her increased prominence. The forlorn romance of Madarame is in full swing here, expressed almost painfully in its silence. Though Genshiken is in a sense full of turning points, this is a pretty major one in hindsight.
In terms of adaptation from manga to anime, I find it interesting that the characters were made to look like in the original series. It seems like a no-brainer but they had to do things like switch to older hairstyles and even styles of dress in order to capture the visual sense of how different the club was back then. In fact the entire mellowness of the OAD really stands out, and I imagine for anyone who watches it after having only experienced Nidaime, they would notice first and foremost the relative lack of bombastic energy. Even the references are from a different period of otakudom ("Sit, Nekoyasha!").
One minor but noticeable change has to do with the fact that Ogiue has her default Series 1 hairstyle in the OAD, which is subtly different from the hair she wore to the shrine in the manga. There, instead of having the horizontal "antennae" on the sides of her head, Ogiue has more pronounced tufts of hair over her ears, and most likely creating another set of character design sheet just for this one-off Ogiue hair would have been too difficult or time-consuming. What's important is that this specific hairstyle was not a fluke or a shift in judgment in the manga, as Kio Shimoku specifically drew Ogiue with that hair on the the limited edition cover of Genshiken Volume 15. Given her dress-up for Sasahara's graduation a few chapters later, I feel like the purpose of this hairstyle was to show Ogiue trying to pretty herself up a bit (which in turn extends from a longer trend of her getting more fashionable after talking to Kasukabe).
If there's one thing I really took away from watching this, however, it would be a case of self-reflection, so I hope you'll forgive me as I indulge in some introspection.
When Ogiue is drying Sue's hair, she talks about how she'd like to be more like Sue, who isn't afraid to be an otaku and to just be herself, which Ogiue has been trying to learn. This process Ogiue undergoes in the series is part of why she's my favorite character, and it's something I've tried to live by as well, to my benefite even, but as I get older I increasingly feel this pressure to not display my otaku-ness so openly. It's not something I try to hide, but I realize that it's important to know that sometimes other people won't quite understand, and explaining who you are and why you love the things you do requires a certain sociability and deftness with words which often escape me. On some level, I worry that the essential advice of "be yourself" is something I've begun to creep away from even though it's been so important to me.
Also, because I've managed to become more social and more comfortable over the years, I think what I basically am afraid of is becoming the very person I swore I never would, that person who passes judgment on others for being weird or socially awkward, not because I want to but because I might have lost touch with that feeling. That said, if I'm actively concerned about this, then that's maybe for the best because it means I haven't forgotten that idealism even if it doesn't work out, well, ideally.
As Yoshitake and Yajima discuss the Madarame "harem," Hato shows that he is more accepting of all the complex facets which make up who he is. Given the issue of romance in the air, however, Yoshitake worries that it could end up breaking Genshiken apart.
One of the manga volume extras has Tanaka and Kugayama discussing the idea that romantic feelings can often destroy otaku groups, and to see that "aside" brought to the forefront in the main manga is interesting, to say the least. It's an aspect of "nerd friendship" that has been left unexplored in Genshiken so far, for better or worse. Madarame had his thing with Saki, of course, but that was defined more by Madarame's silence, and now that their particular subplot finished with everything out in the open, the potential drama of the current situation acts as perhaps an extension of that. It's like every time I look at Genshiken another new arc or period is starting.
Of course, the fact that when Tanaka and Kugayama talked about otaku groups falling apart they had in mind the lone girl whom all of the male otaku fawn after, which is completely flipped with Madarame here. I think I wouldn't be a fan of too big a swing into "club drama" in the venomous sense, as I think it might get way too far from the core of Genshiken (I'd hate to see friendships fall apart), but given where the series has been and my sense of how Kio Shimoku has advanced the story of the new generation so far, I strongly doubt that's where it's headed. Even if it does, I think the man has enough skill to execute it well and make it an opportunity for contemplation nevertheless.
This chapter shows once and for all that the projections have been manifestations of various conflicts in Hato. With the other Hato it's about how he has tried to maintain this dual mental identity such that his "male" self and his "female" self are two separate entities when in fact they are, as the other Hato put it, the same person. When it comes to the Kaminaga stand, however, given what we know now it's clear that she represents Hato's repressed feelings for Madarame. As I've stated many times before, I find it interesting that these are two separate aspects. Seeing Hato accept and "absorb" them is probably the highlight of the chapter, as it show perhaps more than any other scene with Hato in the entire of the manga a kind of resolution, or should I say resolve? There's something powerful about seeing those semi-subconscious facets of Hato disappear from the page, almost like the last time we see Madoka in the original Madoka Magica TV series. I find it also significant that Hato now wants to find an apartment closer to the school so that he doesn't have to change at Madarame's place. The idea is obviously that Hato's own feelings for him make that scenario incredibly uncomfortable for Hato.
A first for Genshiken is that we get to see Sue by herself this chapter. Usually she's with Ohno, or Ogiue, or Angela, but here Genshiken presents the lone Susanna Hopkins, and though there's nothing surprising about her lifestyle (or the fact that her dorm is a mess!), there's an almost melancholy feel to seeing Sue without others to bounce off of, for her actions to collide with the sensibilities of others. If it weren't for the stuff with Hato mentioned above, I would say Sue in her dorm room would have been the most powerful image in this chapter. Also, though it's hard to tell I think Sue lives in an on-campus dorm specifically devoted to foreign students. My clues are the bits of unreadable English (or other roman alphabet text) on a couple of plaques and the fact that the two other dorm residents portrayed are speaking something unintelligible for Sue.
I also feel the need to talk a bit about Yoshitake, if only because, as much as the old Genshiken characters were into some pretty hardcore stuff, they never spoke so openly and candidly about topics like sex. Of course, Yoshitake's exclamations come from a place of otaku fantasy and not personal experience, so it's not that different, but she's a far cry from everyone else outside of maybe Angela who's more forward and is more sexually active than Yoshitake is. I think Yoshitake's decision to title the whiteboard list of Madarame's faults as "Rame-senpai no koko ga ramee," which makes it sound like a line from a porn manga, says it all. As an aside, Yoshitake makes a reference to Kamijou Touma (I'll break that illusion apart"), which I'm sure will please at least a few.
Sadly we did not get to see Ogiue in her hometown, which I was really hoping for. That said, though this may just be my own wishful thinking, I believe that Ogiue could play an important role in all of this because she understands the emotional and relationship damage that can happen when people refuse to communicate with each other, which I think is the biggest "threat" when it comes to a club like Genshiken falling apart.
Hato is back home in order to try and sort out his feelings. Kaminaga and Hato's brother Yuuichirou are there too, and though Kaminaga (who now insists of being called "sister") does her best to give advice to Hato about Madarame, her fujoshi brain interferes with her words and intent quite a bit. Eventually, thanks to a meeting with Konno and Fuji, Hato realizes that his feelings for Madarame mean he doesn't want to leave Genshiken, and resolves to head back to Tokyo.
Chapter 94 is the first time in Genshiken that we've actually seen a character's hometown life elaborated upon to this extent. Sure, there have been flashbacks, like Ogiue in junior high or Madarame discovering doujinshi for the first time, but ask yourself this: how many of the characters' parents have we seen? The answer is just Hato's.
Hato's thought process shows that part of his turmoil is his desire to try and justify his own feelings, to try and compartmentalize everything internal into a consistent emotional map. It doesn't appear to be a matter of latent homophobia, and if I had to venture a guess it might have more to do with trying to defy his past reputation when gossip spread about him reading yaoi and his classmates constantly made reference to how gay he is. It reminds me of a documentary I watched recently where a girl raised by two gay men talked about how she spent most of her life strongly insisting she was 100% heterosexual as a way of fighting back against the people who assumed that gay men would inevitably raise gay children, but eventually realized she was bisexual. Of course, I don't know if Hato's situation is quite the same, but I sense similarities. Kaminaga's advice to essentially not sweat the small stuff, albeit filtered through her fujoshi self, is perhaps the moral of this chapter.
Kaminaga has grown on me more with this chapter. Her new hairstyle (did she dye it or un-dye it?) gives her a real "classical Japanese beauty" look reinforced by panels like the one above, which then clashes heavily with her ever-"rotten" personality. It's an interesting contrast, and when I think more about it, the fact that Kaminaga is the way she is but has married (or is about to marry? it's not entirely clear) a super normal guy in Yuuichirou speaks to something a bit different from the other relationships in Genshiken, even Kohsaka and Kasukabe's. I think it's because Yuuichirou and Kasukabe are different kinds of "normal." One is a straight and narrow type, the other is socially successful, and it speaks to how "normal" is a kind of spectrum in itself.
Being Konno is suffering. Her own feelings for Hato turn this into a kind of love triangle, but Hato doesn't even realize she likes him, and the fact that her advice of "if it's causing you so much suffering, why not leave the club?" actually helps Hato realize that, yes, he does like Madarame after all. Not too long ago I wrote that a common form of moe we see is a normal life filled with a series of tiny tragedies, and I think that describes Konno's situation quite well. I can only imagine how Konno would slide further into despair if she knew the person Hato likes is a guy. After all, when Konno originally learned about Hato's crossdressing, she assumed that her responsibility as the root of all the gossip that had spread about Hato in high school had actually turned him gay, in turn sabotaging her own chances at romance. Of course, this isn't resolved yet and Hato x Konno might actually become a thing in the end.
The best moment of the chapter in my opinion comes at the very end. We find Kaminaga drunkenly watching Yuuichirou and his old judo club buddies grapple each other under the influence of alcohol, clearly enjoying the fantasies inspired by reality. It's unclear to what extent the redness of her face is due to alcohol versus perversion. Juxtaposed on the page next to a reference to a Whisper of the Heart reference (for Hato) and a Samurai Troopers reference (for Kaminaga's own entertainment), it encapsulates her character pretty much perfectly, the manga panel equivalent of a bumper sticker saying "801 Fujoshi 4 Life."
For any enterprising business folk, that one's for free.
Speaking of business, Kio's comments this month are about how Sue is a DLC skin for Akihabara's Trip, a game where you search through Akiba and find witches by stripping them. Questionable qualities of the game aside, Sue is somehow incredibly appropriate for this, and would probably make the proper Those Who Hunt Elves and Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! references to boot.
When it comes to the adaptation process of Genshiken Second Season as an anime, most of the time the changes ranged from minor to medium at best. Here at the very end though, we're presented with an actual 100% original anime episode to wrap things up. As such, for the first time I'm going to be applying the level of detailed analysis I usually reserve only for the Genshiken manga to the anime.
In the previous episode, Madarame revealed that he had decided to quit his job, and Hato has ended up blaming himself for this turn of events. Seeing that Hato has been avoiding Genshiken for weeks, the club invites Hato and Madarame to a hot springs so that they can relax and Hato can move forward, much in the way that Ogiue was able to have her own breakthrough. Hato, originally planning to stop crossdressing due to the perceived troubles it's caused, gets some advice from Madarame: basically, just do whatever you want until you don't want to, stop, then start up again if you feel like it. It's no big deal. Hato decides to continue his ways.
On some level I think that this final episode is an attempt to finally get the Karuizawa arc (the point in the manga Ogiue finally learns to accept herself) into the anime. At this point, Ogiue is no longer really the focus of Genshiken, so it wouldn't fit quite right to have them just devote around three or four episodes flashing back to the pre-Nidaime days, but it's also such a significant part of Genshiken's story that its absence has been felt rather strongly both among fans and just in that something was missing from the anime the whole time. After all, for those who've stuck strictly to the anime adaptations, Ogiue somehow went from a frustrated and antagonistic individual to a somewhat gentle but still easily flustered mentor, and there was no explanation, at least until now. Even if it's just a few brief glimpses, I'm glad to see part of Ogiue's breakthrough animated.
With Ogiue's desire to help Hato the same way that she was helped back then, not only do I see Episode 13 as a place for the Karuizawa storyline to make a "cameo appearance," but I consider it to be a spiritual successor of sorts as well. In particular, Madarame's advice to Hato resembles Sasahara's words to Ogiue, that you can't help what you like, only tailored to a less traumatic and dramatic situation. There's no realization of love here, only the comfort of acceptance., andMadarame's reached his own turning point in life, so he can look back and reflect for Hato. In addition, the discussions of collaborating on the next "Mebaetame" clearly point to the idea that Genshiken the club is a family of sorts, and a place for people to change through interacting with people both like-minded and otherwise.
Yoshitake's presence in this episode is notable, as I think that as much as the show put Hato into the spotlight, Yoshitake (or should I say her voice actor Uesaka Sumire) has still ended up being a mascot of sorts for Nidaime. She's that nerd you put out there to show how fashionable nerds can be, and I think just having a couple of scenes primarily of her geeking out over history from a fujoshi perspective is a part of the character's position.
This is the first time that a Genshiken anime has seen fit to wrap things up with original content, though it makes sense because previously they had sort-of-okay stopping points and this time around if they had continued to just follow the manga, there would be no proper wrap-up for the series. The only thing viewers would get is more questions and perhaps the worst case of "READ THE MANGA" ever. Thankfully this isn't the case, and even if I'm aware of the fact that there's so much more material out there, this is a respectable bookend. Also, in what I'm sure is an intentional move, both the final episode of the anime and the latest chapter of the manga involve public baths, but the two are actually completely different in terms of narrative development and content outside of a more general theme of honestly expressing oneself, and so a comparison between them isn't that useful.
This episode is also apparently a place for the people who made it to go wild with the references. A lot of the legwork was already done by the blogger Orezui, so I have to give 'em thanks.
1) "She's not here! There's no Hato-kun here!" is apparently a Patlabor: The Movie reference.
2) "Let's go to the roof. I haven't felt this angry in a long time," is a line from the manga Salaryman Chintarou.
3) "But I can't go [out] with a guy" is a direct reference to a line from Ogiue during the Karuizawa arc, also parodying the fact that Sue did something similar in Episode 1.
4) Sue's obsession with taking pictures of everything related to the city of Tachikawa mirrors Yui and Mio's initial reaction to London in the K-On! movie.
5) Kuchiki's creepy run comes from Attack on Titan (that video above is highly recommended).
6) Sue's followup attacks are taken directly from Super Turbo-era Chun-Li from Street Fighter II. Specifically, the moves shown are Kikouken -> Jumping fierce -> Close standing fierce -> Senretsukyaku -> Tenshoukyaku.
7) Sue makes a Tomoko from Watamote face.
Obviously I know that this isn't truly the end of Genshiken, and I hope those who've watched it are interested in following the manga to find out what happens next. In retrospect, the anime's had its fair share of ups and downs, though mostly from the perspective of someone who notices subtle differences in tone and narrative timing, and I think that there's something about the way Kio Shimoku frames each of his chapters and laces it with bits of characterization that I think gets increasingly lost as he continues to improve these already strong aspects of his work. At the same time, I think the anime generally captures what the new Genshiken is about, which includes an otaku generation gap, the complexities of gender and sexuality within the otaku framework, as well as the on-going process of change, development, and at least a bit of maturity that is college life. So if you're still interested, stick around.
Besides, we still have that limited edition anime packaged with Volume 15 of the manga.

This product tastes wonderful in just about everything. I even put it in my pancake batter.
Title says it all. The soy protein mixes only decently, often with a little clump here and there. Keep in mind I only use shakers, Im sure a blender will do the trick. Strawberry flavor is FAR from the greatest, but taste isnt everything for me, so it wont keep me from buying more of this product, albeit in flavors other than strawberry. Great price for the amount of protein and the quality! I especially love the fact that they use Stevia in their Natural versions. If you havent bought from this brand before, I would definitely recommend it.
I am a 76 yr old woman. Used this product with frozen strawberries and sometimes 1/2 of a banana twice a day and have lost over 20 lbs so far. I intend to use it daily to keep my weight where it should be.
vanilla has a wonderful taste! i have a lot of digestion issues and allergies and this settled very well with me. Going to buy another one in a different flavor :) I use it in a shaker and have no problem with it being clumpy
excellent product.

Phone scam making its way around Baton Rouge
POSTED: Friday, July 13, 2012 - 5:28pm
UPDATED: Monday, July 16, 2012 - 5:45pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — The Better Business Bureau says a phone scam is targeting people in Baton Rouge and more than 100 people have been called so far.
Here's how it works.
The victim gets a call from someone claiming they have a government grant to help pay with utility bills. That's when the victim gives the thieves banking information and is told up to a thousand dollars is on the way.
Though the money shows up in the victim's accounts, it is taken back very quickly. But by then the victim's checking account is already overdrawn.
"If you get a call from somebody you don't know personally who they are and can not verify who they are, the bottom line is never give personal information," Jim Stalls, Better Business Bureau, said.
Comments News Comments
Certainly a scam! Unlike products telemarketers call you about, grants and financial assistance are things you apply for. And it's highly impossible to just get picked and receive money from the government. Clearly, it's a ploy designed to tempt you into giving them what they'll ask for.
There's been a lot of this scam being reported at http://www.callercenter.com already and I think, with continuous updates about them, scammers don't stand a chance anymore.

(2009) A physiologically realistic in vitro model of microvascular networks. Biomedical Microdevices, 11 (5). pp. 1051-1057.
Existing microfluidic devices, e.g:parallel plate flow chambers, do not accurately depict the geometry of microvascular networks in vivo. We have developed a synthetic microvascular network (SMN) on a polydime-thalsiloxane (PDMS) chip that can serve as an in vitro. model of the bifurcations, tortuosities, and cross-sectional changes found in microvascular networks in vivo. Micro-vascular networks from a cremaster muscle were mapped using a modified Geographical Information System, and then used to manufacture the SMNs on a PDMS chip. The networks were cultured with bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC), which reached confluency 3–4 days after seeding. Propidium iodide staining indicated viable and healthy cells showing normal behavior in these networks. Anti-ICAM-1 conjugated 2-μm microspheres adhered to BAEC cells

MISS RON PAUL? Don't Fret, RON PAUL IS LAUNCHING HIS OWN TV CHANNEL!
In the short amount of time that former Congressman Ron Paul has been out of office, his work in the private sector has been just as focused and productive as when he was working for the American people in Washington.┬Ā Since leaving office last November, Paul has dedicated his time in creating a new home school curriculum, establishing a school where the teaching of classical education can once again return to the classroom, and coming sometime this summer, the former Texas Representative is building his biggest endeavor yet…The Ron Paul Channel.
Coming Soon.┬Ā Ron Paul takes the fight from Washington, and brings it to you through the powerful world of digital media.┬Ā The Revolution is on… this is the Ron Paul Channel.
An innovate new interactive channel from America's visionary voice of liberty.
With breaking news stories, interviews with influential headliners, and hard hitting reporting.┬Ā For televisions, tablets, and smart phones.┬Ā – Ron Paul Channel
The move to digital broadcasting has revolutionized the alternative media.┬Ā Beginning with┬ĀAlex Jones, one of the godfather's of internet broadcasting, the expansion of technology and the ability for news to break instantly┬Āfrom anyone with a smart phone has led many organizations such as Glen Beck and Russia Today to become some of the fastest growing sources for news in the world.
With the world headed towards a new paradigm of political, economic, and social chaos and change, the ability to find accurate and relative information to help people make good decisions is more vital than ever.┬Ā And proven commodities like Ron Paul are the catalysts through which the American people can actually have a voice to speak out in a time when speech, actions, and choices can easily be perceived┬Āand prosecuted as┬Ācriminal.
Whether the Ron Paul Channel┬Āwill be┬Āsuccessful remains to be seen, but the underlying movement of his revolution is far from over.┬Ā Like the birth of the Tea Party just a few years ago, to the near miss primaries that almost saw Ron Paul win the chance to┬Āvie for the Presidency, having the opportunity to move away from the old paradigm of main stream media propaganda, and towards an open forum of discussion and revealing of truth,┬Ācan┬Ānever┬Ābe criticized for its intent, and is a powerful foundation┬Āin the battle for returning America back to the┬Āprinciples it was founded upon.
Kenneth Schortgen Jr┬Āis┬Āa writer for┬ĀSecretsofthefed.com, Examiner.com, and hosts┬Āthe popular┬Āweb blog, The Daily Economist.┬ĀKen can also┬Ābe heard Friday evenings giving an weekly economic report on the Angel Clark radio show.

Wall Painting Techniques
January 29, 2014
To create a look of texture without the use of expensive paints or the use of a professional painter there are several techniques, applications and products to use in wall painting. Use this guide to matching your wall painting techniques with your home accessories and decor.
Faux Plaster
Creating the look of aged plaster is simple and less messy than using a joint compound blaster. To do this project you will need tissue paper-the kind you get in the gift wrapping section-enough latex satin paint to cover the walls, masking tape, drop cloths, a two inch brush and nap roller, disposable paint trays, and acrylic glazing. Tape off all baseboard and crown molding as well as door and window trim. After removing all furniture's from the area, wipe down walls with mild soap and water and dry with clean soft cloth.

Flower Garden Layouts
November 14, 2013
The home flower garden is one of the best ways to spruce up your home and to lend it a bit of "curb appeal" It is used by those who dress up homes for sale.

Glass Doors For Exterior Home Decor

Before you opt for reconstructing or restructure of the exterior home decor with the glass door you need to do a proper researching about all the types of the glass doors its advantages and the disadvantages, materials.
PVCu are considered to be the most popular choices when it comes for the replacement for the home doors. Because it reduces many things like maintenance and improve efficiency.

And also it will affect your cooling systems.

Good Tips For Your Home Improvement Project
March 18, 2014
Your home's structure is oftentimes altered by your home improvement jobs. It can also involve your yard and landscape, as well as any outdoor structures. This article is filled with wonderful home improvement tips that will leave your home looking amazing and be more functional for you to live in.
Start the process of winterizing your home in the fall, before winter hits. Adhesive products such as weatherstripping will adhere much better while the weather is still dry and it will be easier for you to insulate your pipes before freezing temperatures.
You want to make sure that you call and check up to see any contractors or companies you do work with to make sure they're insured. It's not uncommon for some contracting companies to flash outdated insurance paperwork at customers in the hopes that customers won't notice the company is no longer insured.
Before you begin a home improvement venture, get rid of junk you no longer use. Aside from removing excess debris, you'll have more room to work. Life is just easier when you have less stuff.
One of the most popular types of decks for homeowners nowadays is vinyl. A vinyl deck is easily cleaned and maintained, although it must be washed two times per year. Fall and spring are both good seasons to give your vinyl deck a sweep.
Flooring should be replaced. Replacing your old floors can be a costly undertaking, but the payoff in appearance and added value is more than enough to justify the decision. Replace carpet and linoleum with hardwood or tile, and you can increase the value of your home.
Avoid contractors who offer bonuses for cash payments, as they are involved in illegal acts. Paying with cash is risky. If you must pay with cash you can protect yourself by getting a signed copy of the contract prior to any work or payment and of course, get a written receipt for any cash you do give them.
If you are in a rush to get home improvement work done, you should be prepared for the high costs involved. Communicating with your contractor will make them more likely to work harder on your home. As long as you are willing to pay more, they will be willing to do the work. You will usually always pay a higher price for a job you want rushed.
We all have to do some type of home improvement project at some point in our lives. Whether we are doing it for fun, or added value, the end result motivates us all. No matter if you are doing it to increase value or to look good, you can enjoy yourself with home improvement.
Feng Shui And The White House
March 18, 2014
By Kartar Diamond
The original White House in Washington, D.C. was built in 1792. It burned down and was re-built in 1815. Houses are built within 20 year construction cycles that repeat every 180 years. In this regard, the "energy" of the re-built White House is similar to structures that were built 180 years later (1995).
These south-facing "Period 7″ houses have both positive and negative features that not only affect the First Family living there, but also make a general statement about our country's "feng shui," (i.e.health, prosperity, or reputation as a nation.) In the same way that Chinese Feng Shui Masters make predictions about the Chinese Stock Market, based on the building where the stocks are traded, we can make correlations about the White House's feng shui symbolizing how American are doing.
The energy at the center of the White House is a 3-2 Flying Star pattern. ***The Flying Star School of Feng Shui takes into account the age of the building and the precise compass alignment. These numbers are code for UNSEEN influences, in the same way that H2O stands for "water." When this 3-2 energy pattern is in the very center of a house, it means there is greater potential for gossip, arguments, and legal conflicts. Legal problems is not necessarily bad for a government building (that's the nature of what a government building deals with), but the "3″ energy also implies scandal.
Mud-slinging between political parties is an American tradition and the levels of scandal and deception continue to rise. A feng shui consultant did an evaluation of the White House in the mid-1990′s, which was published in an article in Newsweek magazine, where she predicted a sexual scandal long before the Clinton/Lewinsky story broke.
Can Feng Shui predict who will win the election? With enough information, it is possible to make a guesstimate. In the 2000 Election, some astrologers were not able to announce who would win because they were only looking at the positioning of the stars on that very Election Day. It was very indecisive energy that day for both candidates. As we all know, weeks later when we found out the results. If an astrologer had looked into each man's personal chart, not just on Election Day, but months down the road, then it would have been more obvious who would take over as President.
With analysis of the White House alone, not considering the specific people living inside, the predictions would have to be more general. One thing is for sure, this south-facing building, with a south door, has the annual "9 fire" energy at the entrance this year. This 9 energy is highly volatile.In fact, it often predicts fire accidents and explosions. (Every building has annual cycles that change from year to year, like having a guest stay with you for that whole time.) In a general sense, the occupants in this house will have a very intense year. This can also extend to the American people. By the way, the very center of every structure this year has some very aggravated energy which can contribute to arguments. Lots of otherwise happy people may find themselves more agitated and argumentative with family members or co-workers this year.
For those of you who are new to feng shui, you may have found this article surprising in its commonality to astrology. Authentic Feng Shui factors in both timing and direction of a building, just like astrology requires a birth place and time to create a chart and make predictions.
