I was paging through a website I follow regularly today, looking for a post I'd seen some time in the past, but without a clear sense of where or what it was. In brief: pretty randomly browsing. And over the course of my clicks, I came to know one blogger a whole lot better than I had previously.
Now, get your dirty minds out of the gutter. I'm not talking about anything salacious, but I did discover some more details about her politics and beliefs and deeply-held truths to cast some aspersions (in my own mind, at least) on what I've liked of her work before.
Has this ever happened to you? You read an author's book and love it on whatever level, and then you find out something more about the author, or what the book is reported to be ABOUT, and suddenly, you can't help but look at the work differently.
Or can you help it? Are you able to separate an author's personality and politics from their prose? Do you even want to? Do you care? Do you think it ADDS to their work?
In this world of celebrity connections on Twitter, once you know what someone's thinking about at 3am in the morning, can you still enjoy their art?

One decent example of that would be the YA author, John Green. He, of course, has the popular vlog channel on youtube (the vlogbrothers). Even after watching his videos for over a year, I can separate him from his work. I still enjoy his books just as I would if he didn't vlog, but I don't enjoy his books any more because he does. Of course, it doesn't always work out like that. For instance, Graceling by Kristin Cashore. It's a wonderful book, but after checking out her blog and discovering that she's a feminist, I appreciated her main character twofold. I suppose it could go both ways, but knowing the author's political views doesn't impact my opinion of their work in a negative way. Usually, it makes no difference.

It's often hard for me to seperate what I know personally about an author from their work, which is why I rarely seek out information about authors of books I really love. I prefer that they be unseen forces behind their work. I'll refrain from referencing specific examples, but my opinion of a few well known books has changed as I've "gotten to know" the authors. It's harder now to remain in the dark since I'm exploring more blogs and have become more active on Twitter, but I still try to let my favorite books live in their own little bubbles.

there are times when i have made a decision to stop purchasing (or not purchase) books from a certain author because of things i know about them as a person.
in both cases i am thinking of, i have never actually read one of their books, but formed my opinion of them from their online presence (blog, twitter, etc.). in one case, i knew the author was involved in an online scandal where before the book series was published/even sold, there was a huge issue of plagiarism and incredibly rude internet behavior followed by a "well since I'm A Published Author I Can Do No Wrong" sentiment.
(to be fair, the book series probably wouldn't have interested me even if i didn't know what i did about the author.)
the second case was a very well reputed author who recently got called out for treating her fans . . . not well. again, i've never read the books, but this pretty much cemented that i never would.
so, yeah. if the author turns out to be a very condescending, rude, and in some cases, seemingly really crazy, i will turn to other things. i'd rather support authors that respect their readers and see what they do as a gift, not a right.

I once went to hear mystery writer J.A. Jance speak at a local bookstore. I loved her books but I was stunned at how many disparaging comments she made about younger women. I felt she came off very snarky (and not in a good way!) It colored how I interpreted her writing and I eventually stopped reading her novels.

I say yes, absolutely. There are authors I liked more before I learned more about them as people. Actors and musicians, too. I can think of several wonderful actors who I can't stand when I see them in interviews and can't bear to watch act because I can't separate the person from the role. There are musicians–and, just as important–music videos that have completely turned me off music I loved. Then there are some whose personalities don't affect the "art." I can watch/read/listen without their personal lives affecting me.
On the flip side, there are authors that, the more I learn, the more I love. Ones I'm delighted to share interests with, or whose personal politics or sacrifices make me love them even more.
The trick is that you can't know which way it's going to go before you learn the "extra" stuff. You can't stuff the genie back in the bottle.

If I like the author's online persona–say, if I admire their stance on certain issues, agree with their politics or philosophy, or just really dig their sense of humor–that deepens my enjoyment of their writing. If I find out something I STRONGLY disagree with, it's hard for me to get past that.

I went to a writer's conference and one of the speakers, who also teaches classes on writing, was so obviously and flamboyantly gay, but he kept referring to his wife. Don't get me wrong. I'm totally all for same sex relationships and marriage, but what bothered me was that I suspected the reason he's living a huge lie is because of his religion, which he also made clear. Then he was rude on top of that. Any time someone threw out an idea, he would respond with "that's boring." Of course he was trying to be funny, but I left there with a really bad impression of this man and will most likely never pick up anything he writes.

I think it depends on various factors, like who they are, what they write, and what it is I find out. I recently read an exchange on her website by an author I would have counted amongst my "auto-buys." After reading her opinions of some of her fans, I was so turned off, I'm not sure I want to read the two of her books I've already paid for, that are on my TBR pile. Ick!
OTOH, maybe if it's not someone I "loved" (i.e., if it's someone in whom I have less emotional investment), I might care less. It's a tricky, and very public, world we live in now. Be who you are, and say what you feel, etc., but be aware that the world IS watching (and consciously or not, judging) you. If you're okay with that, great. If not, you may want to rethink your public persona. Just sayin'.

Typically, it doesn't bother me. But if they're radical to an almost-hateful level, that bothers me. So, like Becky, I won't be reading Orson Scott Card's work any longer. I would buy from someone I don't agree with politically, but not when they're position on something is hate-fueled.

Orson Scott Card is homophobic? SIGH. Guess who is never recommending Ender's Game to anyone ever again?
JJ Says:

Oh, poor Orson Scott Card. It's not his fault his religion is wackadoo! (I say this with the utmost love, as I grew up with Mormons and my extended family–and there are a lot of them!–is Mormon.)
However, he is an example of a writer whom I adore despite the fact that I don't agree with many of his views. ENDER'S GAME, but especially SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD killed me. Yes, I might not agree with him on many accounts, but how can anyone read SONGMASTER and not think he had the utmost empathy and sympathy for humankind, even with homophobic views? It doesn't stop him from being a phenomenal writer.
There are things Margaret Atwood has said that I don't agree with, but it doesn't stop her from being an amazing writer either. (And uh, recently, Neil Gaiman has said some things that rub me the wrong way. But I adore him and his writing!) I think in the end, the writing will speak for itself.
However, that being said, I will be turned off potential writers if I go online and find their online personas to be rude, obnoxious, or even *gulp* whiny. Of course, if they happen to be the next Michael Chabon, I'll probably buy their book anyway, but if their writing is good, but I can still be persuaded, then personality/beliefs will go a long way in making me decide. Do I want to work with a diva? No, I don't. However, if I get the next Jane Austen in my hands, I'll grit my teeth and do it, no matter how distasteful they are.

This is something that bothers me more than I would like it to.
As an avid reader, I'm always looking for something new to read but now, because of the internet, I always do a little research before picking up a book. For the most part, this is good, I can see what the book is really about, read reviews, get a general idea of whether or not the book is something I'll enjoy before I actually go out and spend money on it.
But there is a negative aspect to that research and that is that often times I will find out things I didn't really want to know about the authors. Things that-whether I like it or not-often ruin books for me.
A great example of this is one that lots of other commenters seemed to be talking about: Orson Scott Card's, "Enders Game". People have recommended it to me time and time again, and honestly the book looks very good but… I've been protesting Prop 8 and other homophobic actions for years now. I donate my money to charities that fight for homosexual rights and I do everything I can to fight for equality for all. I have so many friends who are homosexual and I can't, in good heart, pick up a book-whether it's brilliantly written or not- that was written by someone who is homophobic. If I did, I would spend all of my time reading the book focused on thinking, "Why is that person so hateful?" instead of focusing on reading. I know that this is really my own fault for not being able to see past it but I don't think I'll ever get around to reading "Ender's Game".

It's true that Orson Scott Card doesn't support homosexuality, either as a personal practice or a social norm. (Here's an article he wrote on the topic, if you're interested in reading the account firsthand: http://www.nauvoo.com/library/card-hypocrites.htm… However, I think it's unfair to call him homophobic and hateful, just as it would be unfair to call people who support homosexuality heterophobic and hateful (of heterosexuals).

I think beliefs/views/etc. come out in the work, usually I'm not surprised by what I find out about the author.
My opinion of agents change when I read through their blogs, because before they are just a name–and although they may or may not post their views on politics or other things, you can often guess. The types of books they represent says a lot about their views on life. For me horribly profane language is a huge turn off on agent blogs, it's so unprofessional.
Reading agent's blogs has narrowed my query list, but if I don't like their blog/views/reading choices they probably won't like mine–and it wouldn't work out anyway.
I find it interesting that Kate asked: "Has this happened to you?" and NOT "What author or Who…?" Bashing authors isn't what I want to come up when someone Google's me…

It's funny, I was going to say I can't remember eschewing someone's books because of political views in particular, but Orson Scott Card is a good example of someone whose books I decided not to read when I heard about his homophobia. But it wasn't even a conscious decision like that. It just would never occur to me TO read a novel written by a known, contemporary homophobe. And no, there's no gray area here. I have a precious few dealbreakers that I consider uncontroversial and not up for discussion. Equality is one of them.
There are other, less emotionally charged reasons why an author's online presence could affect my enjoyment of their books, though. Then you make a sacrifice one way or another.
Anabelle brings up John Green. After following his videos, I can't say I enjoy his books LESS, but there were times reading Paper Towns where there'd be some detail that made me think "oh yeah I remember when he talked about that on the vlog" and I guess you could say it took me out of the story a bit. But I guess I enjoy the videos enough that I'm OK with that.
There is another, life-long favorite author. When I first started reading author blogs, I put hers on my RSS feed. The blog showed me that she's just a rich old curmudgeon. Had to stop following so I could still love the books.
Then there are other authors that I just don't think use the medium well. If someone's too negative or complainy on their blog or twitter that will definitely dissuade me from picking up the book. Then there are others, like Justine Larbalestier, whose blog I enjoyed long before I read any of her books.

Tricky topic! I like the author websites/blogs that give me information about upcoming books and insights into the industry or what inspired them to write their book. I hate to admit it, but when an author gets preachy, rude, whiny, or seems down on everything, I may hesitate to pick up their next book.
I don't really care about political or religious views, but I think it might be in an author's best interests to keep those to themselves unless there's specific prodding from an outside source. They're in the business to sell books, and you can alienate a big portion of the population with one simple statement.

I also stopped reading Orson Scott Card. It's not about him being homophobic in general, or about belonging to a religion that believes being gay is a sin, it's about him publishing essays about how gay people shouldn't have civil rights (like gay marriage). It seems extremely unreasonable for me to support (through book purchases and book recs) an author who advocates AGAINST my civil rights. If OSC had just kept that opinion to himself, I would still be buying his books and recommending them widely.
Brandon Sanderson and John C. Wright have similar anti-gay-rights screeds online (Wright's is much, much nastier than Sanderson's), and I won't read their work anymore either. Am I missing out on good books? Maybe. But if I tried to read their work, underneath every sentence I would be seeing "this author hates me and doesn't want me to be happy". So no.

I, too, am wondering why a religious belief that states that homosexuality is wrong means that you hate them, in people's minds. At least, it appears that way from some of these posts.
If I can love someone who lies (which most of us agree is wrong)…if I can believe drug users have a wrong lifestyle, but I can still love them… if I can love the man who visits our church and just got out of prison…then why can't I believe that homosexuals have a wrong lifestyle and love them? My uncle would disagree with you all. He knows that many of us believe homosexuality is wrong…yet he also knows and sees that we love him and are more than willing to include him in every family activity and get-together, etc.
So am I homophobic? Or not?
And if it is homophobic to believe he is wrong, even while I'm enjoying his company and having him in my family…then is it divorc-a-phobic to believe that my aunt was wrong to run out and cheat on my uncle, while I am enjoying her company and having her in my family?
I simply don't get this…
Heather Zenzen Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 4:59 am
Anon, I don't have a problem with others beliefs conflicting with mine, as long as their respectful about it. If you believe homosexuality is wrong, but you don't wish to persecute people for it, I respect your opinion. However, Card was much more radical in his essays. He was hateful. He wanted gays persecuted. He wanted the government taken down if gay marriage was approved. He wants laws against homosexuality to be enforced, "to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens within that society." That's not respectful, in my opinion. That's not love. That's just hate. I would still read his work if he respectfully said that he does not believe in gay marriage and he does not support homosexuality. It's the fact that he brought it to this next level, this radical level, that causes me to shun him.

Thank you for your reply. It is good to know that there are others, like me, who believe that we can hold to different beliefs and still live in harmony with each other. 🙂
This whole conversation does make me realize that I would need to be very careful how I state my beliefs, however. There might be a price to pay. I suppose that is true for all of us, though, isn't it? I won't deny that those who believe as I do often don't ACT as I think we all should.
It's a messed up world…and people DO seem to connect more with the author of books they love than they do with the inventor of the Kleenex they use or the owner of the McDonalds down the road.
I guess each of us, as authors, has to make a choice and think carefully before we do, because there will be no second chance to change that choice!
Becky Mahoney Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 5:16 am
Thanks, Heather! You articulated exactly what I wanted to say.
Anon, I don't have a problem with Card's religious beliefs. I was raised Catholic myself, and I know many devout people who can separate their religious beliefs from the way they treat homosexual people in day-to-day life. I was simply saying that Card's words on the matter have made me uncomfortable, and that colors my opinion of his work.
Eeek, I didn't mean to steer the conversation in this serious direction!
Sarah H. Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 6:00 am
Anon: everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs. And I would feel much more comfortable with reading their work if OSC and the other authors mentioned truly had a "love the sinner" type of attitude. When they argue that those beliefs should be LEGISLATED, specifically to take away my rights, is when I have a problem. Why should his religious beliefs trump my own?
For example, (I think) OSC's religious beliefs include not drinking coffee or beer. And yet he has no online screeds about the wrongness of coffee and beer. He hasn't stated a belief that the government should outlaw beer and coffee. Why, do you suppose? Why doesn't he have a public anti-coffee-drinker opinion? Why doesn't he want to stop the sinful consumption of coffee?
If you don't like gay marriage, don't have one. If you want to stop me from having one, I can't help but think that you hate me.
Anon Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 6:30 am
I do understand what you all are saying, and I appreciate your kindness and courtesy in expressing it. Hopefully more people like you and I can overwhelm those who hate on both sides of the issue.
Krista V. Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 6:36 am
I appreciate the discussion going on here. It is possible to disagree and still be respectful. And it's possible not to support homosexuality and yet not be hateful toward those who do.
To Sarah: In that spirit of mutual respect, then, I just wanted to point out that both sides are trying to pass legislation to force the other to accept their claims. In states that have already legalized gay marriage, pro-heterosexual people must recognize marriages that they believe to be morally wrong. For example, if a homosexual couple asks a pro-heterosexual preacher to marry them, he doesn't have the right to refuse to perform that wedding – which, technically, is a violation of his first-amendment right to freedom of religion.
So it's a tough situation, an impasse, for both sides. But again, just because I don't support homosexuality – and support laws to curtail it – doesn't make me hateful. Just like you're not hateful toward me even though you support legislation that I consider to be morally wrong.
Sarah H. Says:
May 11th, 2010 at 6:46 am
Krista: You are incorrect in your statement that an anti-gay religious leader is required by law to marry a same-sex couple. This is not true anywhere in the US. It's a common misconception put forth by anti-gay marriage activists. In reality, if a religious leader does not wish to perform a same-sex marriage due to his religious beliefs, he does not have to. His rights to choose whom to marry are not infringed at all. See http://www.marriageequality.org/religious-vs-civi…

A feature of the debate about whether Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God is the specter one-sided ecumenism. There are Christian ecumenists (I used the label advisedly) who unquestioningly assume that if you deny that Jews and Christians or Muslims and Christians worship and/or believe in the same God, then that's "bigoted" and demeaning to the other religions.
This is a typical conceit of people who presume to speak on behalf of other groups, rather than stepping aside and letting them speak for themselves. It doesn't even occur to these Christian ecumenists that the religious groups on whose behalf they presume to speak might disagree, indeed, might resent Christians who take it upon themselves to lasso other religions into the same corral on the question of common worship or a common object of faith. For instance:
As a former full time missionary to Muslims, Muslims, conservative, orthodox or radicalized, do not hold to the belief that we worship the same God. In fact they firmly believe that Christians worshipping a triune God is blasphemous and idolatrous.
Yes to your first question, Roy. I have had a number of Jewish scholars tell me "we don't worship the same God."
Now, my point is not to claim that all Muslims or Jews take that position. Likewise, the philosophical question can't be settled by opinion polling.
Nevertheless, it demonstrates how blinkered and presumptuous these Christian ecumenists are. And here's a truly extreme statement:
Roy E. Ciampa
And it cuts both ways. Jesus says the Jews/Judeans (and not just he) DO know what/who they worship. I'm reminded of your whole argument about whether or not Jesus preached the gospel or if, as others suggest, the gospel was only preached post Easter and by Paul, etc. So does Jesus worship and teach us to worship a different God from the Jews? Isn't that the road of (drum roll...) Marcionism (and the holocaust)?
Ciampa is a NT scholar (former Gordon-Conwell prof.) who coauthored a fine commentary on 1 Corinthians. But the "Holocaust" bit is just outlandish.
If I deny that Christians, Hindus, folk Buddhists, Falun Gongers, or Raëlians worship the same God or believe in the same God, is that the road to a new holocaust? Must Christians affirm that they worship the same God to avoid a new holocaust? Are Chinese and Indian restaurants at risk of an American Kristallnacht unless we affirm that they worship the Christian Deity?

Rizzuto and Santos scored the final two goals of the half as the Bears trailed 4-3 heading into halftime.
The Camels scored their final nine goals of the game to take the 13-3 final.
Sophomore goalie Mary Budri made 11 saves in her first half of play and classmate Rebecca Dolan had four saves in the second half for the Bears. Nina Fazio made eight saves for the Camels in the victory.
Coast Guard held the advantage in draw controls, 9-8 but the Camels outshot the Bears, 37-14.

A three-year-old girl released after spending her entire life locked up in an Australian immigration detention center is suffering mental health problems, a psychiatrist who examined her said yesterday.
Malaysian national Virginia Leong and her daughter, Naomi, were released from Sydney's Villawood detention center on Monday after a meeting between their lawyer and immigration department officials, department spokeswoman Sarah Crichton said.
"She's had considerable emotional distress and certainly has developed mental problems," psychiatrist Louise Newman said.
Naomi was born in Villawood on May 5, 2002. The pair were freed after the government granted them temporary visas. Naomi is believed to currently have no citizenship in any country.
Leong, walking out of the detention center on Monday night, appeared delighted to be free and stunned by the crowd of media waiting outside for her release.
The mother and daughter yesterday reveled in their new freedom, playing together in a park in western Sydney.
"It's a dream come true," Leong said. "It's very hard in there. I can't explain it to you unless you're in there."
The Labor Party yesterday said that the government only granted the pair visas after pressure from Malaysian news reports.
"It does look suspiciously like the Malaysian media in this particular instance has embarrassed the government into doing the right thing and getting kids out of detention," Labor leader Kim Beazley said. "Kids don't belong in detention, full stop."

text: The island from Lost seemed like a mysterious, interesting and adventurous place to go if, you know, you were on your way to the big cheese. Gilligan's Island had perfect climate, palm trees and two beautiful but very different women to spend time with. Tom Hanks had a volleyball named Wilson. However, the island that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was lost on for five years did not seem like a bunch of laughs. Arrow, yes a CW show, is quite possibly the most riveting show on television. I didn't say it was the best but not since 24 has a show been so frustratingly quick after forty-four minutes. Continue reading

A Little Praise Goes a Long Way
Every night before the kids go to bed, Nelson prays over them. "Lord
Jesus, bless _. May he/she sleep well. May he/she grow to be an incredible
man/woman of God, always doing the right thing, loving above all else and
putting others before him/herself."
Today when I picked Max up from his catechism class, his catechist told me that he had done something really wonderful today.
"Little _ was having trouble moving his chair and without being asked, Max walked over, picked his chair up for him and asked the boy where he would like him to put it," she told me with such a sweet smile.
I quickly knelt down so I could be at eye level with Max. If I've learned anything in my 12 years of parenting, it's that when kids do something worthy of praise, you praise them - right at that very moment. These moments can sometimes be hard to find, so when they come, you jump and jump quickly.
"Max," I said in my proudest mommy voice, "I'm so proud of you! That was kind and thoughtful. You put someone else before yourself, which is what Daddy prays over you every night. Good job!" I gave him a big squeeze and a smile and off we went.
I did not go overboard. I took pause, acknowledged what he did, told him why I thought it was so great, and that I loved him. I also told Nelson when we saw him and I may even share the story with his older siblings because it's good for them to see his example and also gives them a chance to congratulate him on his good choice.
In parenting there are sometimes hundreds of times a day I have to correct someone. It's hard, tedious and exhausting. I have to remind myself that children are not small adults. They have to be trained and we, as their parents, have to do it.
I'm finding though, that if I focus and look hard enough, I can also find reasons to praise them. Simple choices like practicing the piano without being asked or complaining will garner a, "Good job son. I'm proud of you for remembering to do that." Hundreds on tests get a high five, remembering to do a chore gets a, "Thank you," and moments like today that go a little above and beyond get praise and the occasional, "Guess what Max did today."
It's so easy to let this side of parenting slide. We get so focused on all the stuff they do wrong that we miss it when they do something right. To me, this is every bit as important as the correction. It's a chance to encourage as well as drive home the reason for that encouragement.
If you choose wisely and look closely, there will be moments you find praiseworthy. Praise them when you do. Don't save it for later. Don't file it away hoping they'll do it again. Praise them when you see it happen. Tell them why you're praising them.
This simple act, regardless if it causes your shy child to stare at the floor or your self-confident one to walk a little taller, can have lasting, positive effects.
Then pray like crazy...every - single - day...that they remember that moment. Pray that they make good choices. Pray they become incredible men and women of God. Pray, pray, pray.
One day, God willing, they will be adults, self-confident enough to make good choices even when no one else is watching, even if nobody ever praises them. They will do it because they will know that you love them. They will know God loves them.
And that? That will be enough.

Japan Insider – Niigata Prefecture – Naeba Ski Area
Mountainwatch | Richie Carroll
So you're thinking of heading to Japan? At first, most Southern Hemisphere powder hunters think Hokkaido, located on the North Island of Japan. However, the South Island, in particular the Niigata Prefecture, boasts a wide variety of terrain, just as much snow, better weather conditions and…less crowds! Got your attention? Keep reading to get the inside on Japan.
Japan is becoming a global hotspot for all skiers and boarders looking to get their fix of the white stuff during the Northern Hemisphere winter. We want to give you the heads up that there are tons of resorts located within Japan and the South Island which, in our eyes, are the place to be this Northern Winter.
Naeba Ski Resort
The Naeba Ski Resort is a hidden gem amongst all the Japanese ski resorts. Mt Naeba is conveniently linked to another ski resort called Kagura, which is the powder hunter's heaven with numerous off-piste options and easy backcountry access and, don't worry, there's no painstaking bus transfer you have to endure to hop across as the two resorts are connected by a comfy Gondola! Naeba & Kagura boasts 169 hectares of skiable terrain and has 45 lifts to get you up and down the mountain in no time.
Naeba Ski Resort is located roughly around 3 hours drive northwest of Tokyo in the Niigata prefecture. The closest main town to the resort is Yuzawa, which is about a 30 minute drive.
How To Get There
Transport in Japan is the one thing that instils fear in all international visitors, don't worry though as it's pretty easy to get to Naeba and is quite an enjoyable trip. Don't bother renting a car and dealing with the stress of driving in a foreign country. The train network in Japan is beyond world class and is the best option to get around. From Haneda or Narita Airport, you will have to hop onto another JR train (Shinkansen) in Tokyo to Echigo-Yuzawa station. From station, please take free shuttle bus (No reservation needed), which takes approximately half an hour to reach Naeba Ski Resort. Be sure to check the bus schedule. Alternatively, you may take the Naeba White Snow Shuttle from Shinagawa Prince Hotel. The bus ride takes approximately 4 hours stopping in between for rest. It cost JPY3,600/pax/way. Reservation is necessary through Travel Agents.
Where To Stay
The Naeba Prince Hotel is the place to stay! It is conveniently located right smack-bang in the middle of the ski resort offering ski-in ski-out luxury. It has a lot rooms, so no worries with late bookings. When you can barely make it to your room, due to your daily dose of mad pow disease, there are over 20 restaurants within the hotel to choose from. On top of this, the Prince Hotel has so many activities and entertainment on offer from day spas to karaoke!
Where To Eat
Almost everybody visiting Japan is stumped with the life-ending problem of the need for a semi-decent coffee. Well, Snowman Café & Restaurant located in the Prince Hotel, whips up a bloody decent coffee to get you back in your groove before a day unleashing in the powder. The food is also a great option for a post ski or board feed to get you back on your feet in the morning for another day of action.

Apple has released the first official trailer for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and if you enjoyed the first two Underworld films, then you're in for a treat!
Rise of the Lycans is the third Underworld film in the franchise but is a precursor to the last two installments representing an origins story leading up to the events of the first Underworld.
It'll be a slight adjustment to see an Underworld film without the stars of old; Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman as Selene and Corvin, respectively. Replacing the butt-kicking female leader we now have Rhona Mitra who plays Sonja, the vampire who fell in love with a lycan. Other than the two leads, the film is loaded with all the familar faces of the prior two installments.
If you remember from the first Underworld, it was that relationship and what it resulted in that led to the centuries-long war between the vampires and lycans. Mitra made her mark and pumped up her profile with her role as the lead in Doomsday, where similar to this, she plays a one-woman army. She was also the focus of the latest Batman 3 rumor where she was said to be a possibility to portray Catwoman.
Here's the trailer. Check it out and see what you think:
Well, I'm in! This looks pretty bad-ass to me. Although it's a little extreme on the blue overlay, I dig it and it worked for the other two. I'm a pretty big fan of the first Underworld, not so much the second. This one brings back a lot of the awesome secondary and tertiary characters of the first film, namely Michael Sheen as Lucian, the leader of the Lycans (my personal favourite) and Bill Nighy.
What do you think of the trailer? Do you like the idea of it being prequel?
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans hits theaters January 23rd, 2009.

The Art of Cleansing
How many times a day should we really be washing our face? Twice a day as per what is says on the back of most facial cleansers? Or would one cleanse a day suffice?
It's an age old beauty question that, up to this day, is still up for debate. In this post, we clear things up. Well… almost. You see, as it is with skincare, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. What works for Customer A might not necessarily work for Customer B, so we've done all the research to help you find which cleansing method is best for you.
Cleanse once a day if you…
If you have sensitive skin that is dry and prone to irritation, cleansing once a day might just be the ticket for you. This is because over-washing might do more harm than good for your skin by stripping away your skin's natural oils. There are two important factors for you to note: the type of cleanser you use and when you actually do it. Typically, it is best to cleanse at night to remove the impurities of the day and to cleanse with a gentle yet potent cleanser like our Sensitive Skin Foaming Cleanser ($15).
Cleanse twice a day if you…
If you have combination and oily skin that is prone to acne and clogged pores, stick to the perennial favourite of cleansing twice a day. The oils build-up overnight necessitates a quick morning cleanse. This gives your skin a clean slate and prevents overly oily skin so makeup sits comfortably during the day. At the end of the day, a night cleanse with the Hydra Cleanser ($15) clears the impurities and oils from the day allowing your skin to truly absorb the goodness of your night treatment creams.
Identify the cleansing method that works best for your skin type. As it turns out, washing less can actually be better for your skin than the typical twice-a-day most people gravitate towards. Are you a once-a-day or twice-a-day type of gal?

- Description
Since its introduction back in the 1950s, the Tele' has never wavered in popularity, thanks to its adoption by some of the most celebrated musical luminaries, including: Albert Lee, Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, Joe Strummer, Chris Shiflett, and John 5 to name but a few - thanks to the Telecaster's comfortable playability, wide ranging tonal palette, and highly versatile control setup. The Fender Classic Series 50s Telecaster Lacquer electric guitar exudes the sophisticated charm of the 1950s Tele'. The team at Fender have pored over every detail to ensure that this model has the looks, the tones, and the feel that evokes the vibe that made the original such a beloved guitar.
The body has been crafted using ash, a dense tonewood that has a delightfully timbre, producing complex tones that are filled to the brim with warmth. The body has been completed in a white blonde finish, which has been treated to a coating of gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that adheres to the original '50s finish for total authenticity. Fitted to the body is a 3-saddle American Vintage strings-through-body Tele' bridge with chrome barrel saddles. The saddles make intonation control very simple, enabling you to adjust and modify the action and intonation with the greatest of ease.
Fitted to the body using a bolt-on construction and made from a Fender favourite, is a delightful maple neck. Shaped to a "C"-shape profile, the neck provides a substantial yet comfortable feel in the hand, whilst the back of the neck has been given a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish - again adhering to the original spec, but also to prevent tackiness from affecting the playability of the neck. Paired with the neck is a 21 vintage-style fret maple fingerboard, adorned with black dot position inlays to aid in your navigation.
The Fender Classic Series '50s Telecaster Lacquer is equipped with a vintage-style single-coil Tele' pickups in the neck and bridge positions. This pair is provides the quintessential twang and tones that Telecaster's are renowned for. Control comes in the form of master volume and master tone pots, and a 3-way pickup selector switch. The setup may be simple but the range of tones from this beauty makes it great for many musical styles from country to hard rock.
The Fender Classic Series 50s Telecaster Lacquer electric guitar in white blonde is a gorgeous guitar that brings the original model to life. If you've been looking to get your hands on a classic model – but don't fancy the price tag that comes with it - then this is the one for you.
- Specification
Manufacturer Fender Model Classic Series 50s Tele Lacquer Electric Guitar Body Material Ash Neck Material Maple Fingerboard Material Maple Pickup Configuration SS Bridge Hard Tail Neck Profile "C" No. of Frets 21 Position Inlays Black Dot Pickguard 1-Ply White Bridge/Tailpiece 3-Saddle American Vintage Strings-Through-Body Tele with Chrome Barrel Saddles Active/Passive Passive Tuners Vintage-Style Pickups Neck and Bridge: Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele Controls Master Volume, Master Tone Pickup Switching 3-Position Blade: Position 1.

Radio Happy Hour Episode #5 w/Craig Finn & Tad Kubler (of The Hold Steady), and Chuck Klosterman
MNartists & Kanye West Love Radio Happy Hour
It's true. Two of the world's foremost taste-makers are giving Radio Happy Hour the thumbs up.
Over at MNartists writer David Doody says, "murder has never sounded so funny." Which may sound odd out of context, but I assure you, it's a compliment. You can read the full article here.
As if that wasn't a big enough endorsement, Kanye West is also saying some great things about Radio Happy Hour. In a recent appearance on Mtv he can be heard saying, "Imma [watch every episode of Radio Happy Hour to the] finish. [That show is] one of the best [shows] of all time."
We're currently trying to reach Kanye for some more praise, but he's not returning my calls anymore. Not sure what that's about. Kanye? What gives?

Home for Good Dog Rescue (HFGDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Berkeley Heights, NJ. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters in the South, transport them to our rescue, and give them a second chance at life. As a uniquely 100-percent foster-based rescue, we place each dog into a loving foster home until adoption, and since our inception, we have rescued over 7,200 dogs and given them loving homes for good.
Our story began in 2010. At that time, a group of eight local New Jersey volunteers quite literally launched our rescue efforts out of a living room in Summit, NJ.
At that time, our co-founders decided to focus their attention on areas throughout South Carolina and Georgia—namely in locales that demonstrated considerable populations of unwanted dogs, high rates of euthanasia, and significant need for animal rescue respite.
On our first ever trip to the South that year, we created the 'five-to-ten rule,' wherein we agreed to only bring north as many dogs as we reasonably thought we could adopt out, a manageable number between five and ten. However, that first trip ultimately saw the transport of 30 rescued dogs to New Jersey, and every single one found a family that weekend. Eight years later, we now save an average of 900 lives a year.
Our volunteer base has grown from our eight original members to an astounding 150, and we boast between 75 and 100 active foster families who allow us to continue doing the work we do. And while we now operate out of an office, grooming, and retail space in Berkeley Heights, famous on Springfield Avenue for our signature blue front doors, our unprecedented fostering program remains the cornerstone of our mission.
Our dogs do not live in a shelter or kennel, but rather in a loving, volunteer home, right up to the point of adoption.

Happy Thanksgiving 2012
It is that time of year again to make cranberries. Like turkey, I really only make cranberry sauce once a year. As a kid we all grew up with the gel cranberry in the can that so beautifully and predictably took on the shape, with ridges and all, from the enamel can interior. My brothers used to love to make it jiggle.
Well now that I am all grown up and have learned to appreciate good cooking, of course I no longer eat the gelled variety. While preparing Thanksgiving dinners over the years the cranberry has played a more major role in the meal.
I have tried different combinations of ingredients to enhance the cranberries.
Most of the recipes I have made involve orange peel, sugar or sweetener, and some vinegar for a kick.
Whole cranberries are so beautiful to me. I have not been to a bog to see them in their element but it is definitely on my bucket list. My mother says there are bogs in Wisconsin. This surprised me. I only thought of Massachusetts when thinking cranberries.
However, according to the website cranberries.org they are grown in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New jersey, Oregon, Washington, and Canada.
They are grown on a trailing vine such as strawberries. The vines thrive on special combinations of soils and water properties found in wetlands.
In Massachusetts they are grown in bogs. Nature made bogs from deposits left by glaciers more than 10,000 years ago.
In the 1800's a name named Henry Hall of Dennis Massachusetts , noticed that sand blown in from nearby dunes helped the vines grow faster. Today growers still use his idea and spread an inch or two of sand on their bogs every three years. The sand in addition to speeding growth also prevents growth of weeds and insects.
A good cranberry sauce will compliment any Thanksgiving table. The tang of the berry is a great compliment for turkey whose flavor is not so robust. This year I am making the recipe with fresh thyme, dijon mustard, brown sugar and of course fresh orange peel.
I always make the cranberry sauce the day before. The flavors develop overnight and right before serving I do warm it over so slightly to serve warm.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my followers and their families. May you make good food together and share it with those you love.
12 oz bag cranberries, remove any bad ones
1 tsp dijon mustard
peel from one orange
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
pinch salt
fresh thyme sprigs
Place all ingredients together in saucepan and bring to boil. Cranberries will start to pop. Turn heat down and simmer for about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate.

|pop in here now and then, it's normally good enough for a few jars and maybe catch a game or the live music but last time I was there the place reeked of vomit - truly rank and runied what would have otherwise been a pleasant stay
Wookiee - 20 Sep 2011 14:19
|This place is rubbish. The staff could not possibly care any less, their cask beer is flat vinegar and the rest is all overpriced. I could not fathom for the life of me why this place had more people in it than the Temperance across the road, which is a far more civilised venue, with better beer at a better price, and much better staff.
SamBebb99 - 10 Oct 2010 16:29
|I've just been reading the old reviews on here. This place is now called The Kings Arms and my girlfriend and i went on boat race Saturday. The bar was packed and the place had a really fun atmosphere. There was a hog roast happening in the back courtyard which was really good value and the bar staff were pretty quick on drinks. The only downside was the screen was hard to watch the race on because of the glare from outside.
DavidGAdnerson - 12 Apr 2010 10:21
|The Larrik was great when it first opened but after the honeymoon period it started to go steadily down hill and any hope that it may have gotten better has been dashed. What a waste of a lovely site. Didn't try the food but what I saw on another table didn't entice me, and those change plates are pretentious and like a formal way of begging.
Not returning till it changes hands again.
Jeff2425 - 18 Apr 2009 16:20
|Dear lolwood32 ,
the excited new barman on 'opening day' misinformed you, we will indeed be showing the rugby.
Change served on a dish is commonplace as a means for getting change to customers faster. Rather than an interrupt a customer who is chatting, or placing it on the bar top we use a tray. It is not to meant to upset customers, our apologies.

Are you still wondering whether the
It's time to shed some light on how farmers with very different backgrounds can benefit from the product.
In our FieldBee in the fields series, we are sharing the stories of our proud users in their own words in order to show how the system works in practice.
It is really interesting to see farmers all around the world working with FieldBee. The system assists farmers in their field operations in several different countries and on very different types of farms.
Find out more about the FieldBee >>
Organic farming in South-Africa
FieldBee even found its way to the North West province of South Africa. Pieter Hölscher uses our navigation system on his organic farm in Ottosdal. He came across the system online and he chose FieldBee because of the affordable price and the good quality.
Pieter's farm is located in Ottosdal, Northwest province, South Africa. He plants yearly maize, sunflower
The reason for choosing the FieldBee tractor navigation system
Pieter needed a navigation system to get higher accuracy and collect more precise data during every field operation. In the future, he would like to increase accuracy even further by upgrading it with automatic steering.
"I have found eFarmer via searching on Google. I purchased the product because of the idea you had and the price. I expected a good quality product and that is so far what it is. I hope to solve autosteer for the future and to get more precise data every season, from planting up to harvesting."
eFarmer Remote Support
We offer remote support the help set up the FieldBee tractor navigation system and to solve any issues our customers might encounter.
Pieter faced some challenges when setting up the system which he could overcome with the help of our support team:
"It looked
One benefit of the FieldBee is that we are constantly improving its performance with new software updates as well as improving the setup process, to make it really easy-to-use.
Are you wondering if your device is compatible with the eFarmer app?
Get more information about the recommended devices
Record keeping with the eFarmer app
Pieter uses FieldBee to navigate in his fields with higher accuracy and he would like to equip his tractor with automatic steering in the future. Moreover, he emphasized the importance of recording and analyzing data to make field operations more efficient:
"the hectares planted, cultivated and for the future when I harvest. This gives me more details on fuel used, man hours spent to do work, fertilizer input etc. I would like to use the same gps to do spraying for me, when harvesting to give me details on the dryness of the crop and what tons per hectare I am getting."
The eFarmer app can be used for more than just navigation. It offers features such as record keeping and crop history.
You can automatically add the type of operation, area covered and materials used automatically to the field report from the GPS tracking. Moreover, you can also create geotagged notes in the fields. As a result, you will be able to view your field report and export it to PDF.
Finally, Pieter told us that in the future he would welcome
"a drone tractor system for the future to send the tractor to the field to do the work itself."
I'm sure most of you would agree:)
And we are happy that the FieldBee navigation and autosteer system will be able to drive with such remote control as it already has a built-in LORA module.

With analysts predicting a 25% annual growth of cloud computing services between 2013 and 2017, there is every indication that it is the bandwagon the Middle East's channel community should be jumping on.
One of the biggest challenges for distributors and resellers entering the cloud arena is adapting to new revenue models. Out go traditional margin measurements and in comes a greater reliance on regular,recurring service billing and proactive
software bundling, writes Piers Ford.

We (finally!) have one night trained child. G has been in knickers at night for about six weeks now and although we're still dream-weeing her, she's adapted really well to not wearing a pull-up at night. R has really struggled with it and is currently back in pull-ups. After a grand total of six dry nights out of a possible twenty-one (when G had managed eighteen in the same period), Dh and I made the decision to stop trying to night train her for a bit. She's clearly not ready and it isn't fair to force her. I don't want her to end up in therapy! Plus we were starting to get really sleep-deprived and crabby and there's nothing worse than changing yet another set of pissy sheets at 3am for the fifth night on the trot. Every cloud though – we can both change a single bed in less than two minutes now, under sheet and all.
On one occasion, after changing a wet bed and putting a very confused and sleepy G back to bed I went downstairs and got slightly hysterical as I loaded up the washing machine with soiled sheets and bedding. 'I CAN'T DO THIS ANY MORE. THE SMELL! THE SMELL!' I shouted as dh looked on in horror (which, to be fair, is his usual response to most things). Reader, I TURNED on Dh and told him it was ALL HIS FAULT that G had wet the bed as he hadn't made her go to the toilet the requisite 37 times before she went to bed. If she drinks anything after 6pm she becomes a Gremlin and we ALL know what happens to them when they get wet. The whole turning on Dh thing didn't go down too well, unsurprisingly and he went to bed in A MOOD so I had to do some profuse apologising. Serves me right.
Apparently we don't have to worry about R until she's 7 so it's not the end of the world that she isn't night trained yet. It would just be nice for her – and for us – to leave her last bit of babyhood behind before she starts school.

Choices ...
Even the terminology is clinical - doctors, nurses, and patients.
Under these conditions, people simply lose the will to live. Organs simply stop working, and healthy people become unhealthy. (Living in a cramped environment that bacteria loves doesn't help much, either.)
There are a few doctors working on alternative medicine systems that are different, but one common theme is choice. Build communities of houses, with six people or so to a house, and let our senior citizens walk from place to place as they please. Let them cook their own meals and decide for themselves what and when to eat, and include vegetables from their own garden if they want to. The theme is to restore dignity and choice, thus restoring meaning for life - thus restoring life.
Now thing for a moment about the typical Dilbert-like office environment. HR tells you where to sit and when to sit there. Appeals to management to change the environment are typically met with sighs of hopelessness - even though the furniture is a one-time four-figure expense, and staff costs in the upper five-figures annually.
Methodology standards tells us what documents to produce, and when to produce them. Requirements and specifications tell us exactly what to build, eliminating the chance that a do-er would implement anything else - even if he had a technical innovation that would take 30 minutes to code that could save millions. Architecture standards tell us what technologies to use; coding standards tell us how to code with those technologies. Thanks to SAS 70 and Sarbanes-Oxley, Auditing standards tells us all kinds of things about how we should do our job.
At one point, I gave this rant to a peer in one organization, and said "It's getting tot he point where all you get to do is decide to use a FOR loop or a WHILE loop."
He replied that "Yeah, we really should document the pros and cons of a FOR loop verses a WHILE loop, so we can created a repeatable way to decide which to use."
I'm not kidding. He wanted the process to determine which kind of loop to use.
Now, you have to have an HR department, and standards can be very helpful, but when they rob us of choice, something dies inside. If you've ever seen someone burned out and sleeping through a career, you known what I mean - it's not just a waste of a salary, it's a waste of a life.
I am not advocating that we go charge the HR department, or that we throw our carefully considered policies out the window. Instead, I am suggesting reframing those "rules" as guides, and living with a little bit of uncertainty.
Your mileage may vary, but I've been doing that for my entire career, and I seem to be doing all right ...

This is what I hate about most "best practices" and detailed processes. High-level process is good. Process (and automation) is good for things that require consistent repeatability. Process can be good with large and/or inexperienced teams.
However, processes that micro-manage can be laughable when proposed and ridiculous -- even dangerous -- when implemented.
Process should help us be more productive and improve quality. We need to be flexible enough to bend the process when it doesn't apply. ... but first we'll have to go through the process bending process. :)
I have encountered a number of people that require a defined process to be productive. It is a challenge to get some people to think without a process to guide them.

The destructive weather experienced in the Poconos over the last several years has resulted in more than just a few downed trees.
The destructive weather experienced in the Poconos over the last several years has resulted in more than just a few downed trees.
For many, this mangled debris can be quite an eyesore, but the expense of having these trees hauled away, and the stumps ground down, can be beyond the financial resources of the average homeowner. So what can be done with these remaining stumps and logs? Incorporating them into the landscape by including them in an existing garden, or creating a separate stump garden or stumpery might be an inexpensive solution.
Stump gardens, or stumperies, gained popularity in the Great Britain during the Victorian Age. It seems the popularity of these gardens is once again on the rise.
A stumpery consists of a number of stumps of various sizes (roots included), in various stages of decay, often turned upside down, or sideways, and arranged and planted in a way that mimics a natural forest setting.
A stump garden can be created on even the smallest scale, with just one or two stumps. Stumps with roots intact are best, and the more gnarly, the better. Arrange the stumps in a well-shaded corner, add soil, a dash of moss, a sprinkling of woodland flowers, a few well-placed boulders and a heaping helping of ferns, and you have a recipe for a magical element or centerpiece in the garden.
Another twist on using large root-laden stumps is to invert them, partially bury them in the ground for stability, and then dress the exposed roots with moss and hanging planters. The Glacier Gardens Rainforest in Juneau Alaska includes such a display.
If it's the smaller logs and rootless stumps that need recycling, there are plenty of options; they can be used as pedestals for bird baths, feeders and sundials, or, with a bit of carving, they can be turned into dramatic planters. If you're handy, seating and tables can be made from stumps and branches.
There are an endless number of possibilities for using nature's debris — from creating rustic fencing and furniture, to including it as a unique garden element. Who knows, if this trend catches on, folks may be paying Pocono property owners for the privilege of hauling away some of these local assets.

A Bush Hog rotary mower attaches to the three-point hitch on a compact utility tractor and is designed to mow in heavy areas where the grass is overgrown and cannot be cut by a riding lawnmower. The floating top link is on the three-point hitch of the utility tractor, which allows the front of the Bush Hog to be raised and lowered to get an even cutting swath. Adjusting the link is done easily and takes about five minutes to do.
Step 1
Park the tractor and Bush Hog on a hard, level surface. Pull the three-point hitch lever beside the operator seat on the right; raise the Bush Hog to the "mowing" height.
Step 2
Set the parking brake and turn the key to the "Off" position. Loosen the top nut on the top link with a crescent wrench.
Step 3
Rotate the floating top link by turning the handle clockwise to lower the front of the Bush Hog and counterclockwise to raise the front of the mower until the Bush Hog is level. Tighten the nut on top of the top link with the crescent wrench.

Lego Star Wars games
One of the things that our son has recently taken noticed to is everything to do with star wars. It's great because all the old movies are new to him so we get to watch everything all over again. For his birthday he received two star wars Lego kit. Thank goodness they have a step by step book for assembly it makes it so much easier but it is amazing how much Lego kits cost these days. Expensive.

A family with a two-week-old baby are living with no heating, hot water or cooker after their gas system was condemned.
Colin Sellers, 34, his partner Sam, 20, his son Jordan, five, and 14-day-old Katelyn, sleep in the same room to keep warm.
Letting agents Gorham & Co, of Old Durham Road, Gateshead, gave Mr Sellers an industrial microwave and just £50 to buy two new heaters. One broke and caught fire.
Mr Sellers, of Shipcote Terrace, Gateshead, said: "It has been unbearable. Sam has only just come out of hospital from having our baby.
"We have been having to boil the kettle to be able to give Katelyn a bath.
"It's disgraceful and nobody seems to be doing anything about it.
"I have been on to the landlord and he keeps saying it will get sorted but nothing has happened. The baby is sick because of the cold."
The gas was disconnected by Transco on Monday, January 28, after fitters condemned the system.
Mr Sellers, who receives disability benefit for epilepsy and asthma, added: "We were given some money to buy a couple of heaters but, in the middle of the night, one of them began to spark and then set on fire. We were scared to use the other one after that.
"We have been going round to Sam's mum's house and she has been really good to us but it is ridiculous we are in that position.
"We are all getting colds and Sam is coming down with flu."
Under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1984 the landlord must keep water, gas and electricity in proper working order and repair as well as produce a gas safety certificate.
Landlords must ensure any relevant gas fitting is maintained in safe condition and must arrange safety checks at least once a year.
A Gateshead Council spokesman said: "We have been trying to help Mr Sellers because we realise he is in a difficult situation.
"We have advised him to seek legal advice and said he should contact the DSS to get a crisis loan. We offered the family temporary accommodation but Mr Sellers was adamant he didn't want to move out of his home.
"It is up to the landlord to put things right and it is his responsibility to provide heating and hot water. There is very little we can do in this situation but if it gets worse we can help the family take their landlord to court."
