Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī, also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, and popularly known as Mowlānā but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi, (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and mystic.
He was born on September 30, 1207 in Balkh Province of Afghanistan. His father Baha' Walad was descended from the first caliph Abu Bakr and was influenced by the ideas of Ahmad Ghazali, brother of the famous philosopher. Baha' Walad's sermons were published and still exist as Divine Sciences (Ma'arif).
He fled the Mongols with his son in 1219, and it was reported that at Nishapur young Rumi met 'Attar, who gave him a copy of his Book of Mysteries (Asrar-nama).
After a pilgrimage to Mecca and other travels, the family went to Rum (Anatolia).
The general theme of Rumi's thought, like that of other mystic and Sufi poets is essentially that of the concept of tawhīd – union with his beloved (the primal root) from which/whom he has been cut off and become aloof – and his longing and desire to restore it.
The Masnavi weaves fables, scenes from everyday life, Qur'anic revelations and exegesis, and metaphysics into a vast and intricate tapestry.Rumi is considered an example of Insan-e Kamil — Perfect Man, the perfected or completed human being. In the East, it is said of him that he was "not a prophet — but surely, he has brought a scripture".
Rumi believed passionately in the use of music, poetry, and dance as a path for reaching God. For Rumi, music helped devotees to focus their whole being on the divine, and to do this so intensely that the soul was both destroyed and resurrected. It was from these ideas that the practice of "whirling" dervishes developed into a ritual form.
His teachings became the base for the order of the Mevlevi which his son Sultan Walad organized. Rumi encouraged samāʿ, listening to music and turning or doing the sacred dance. In the Mevlevi tradition, samāʿ represents a mystical journey of spiritual ascent through mind and love to the Perfect One. In this journey, the seeker symbolically turns towards the truth, grows through love, abandons the ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the Perfect.
The seeker then returns from this spiritual journey, with greater maturity, to love and to be of service to the whole of creation without discrimination with regard to beliefs, races, classes, and nations.
Rumi's poetry is often divided into various categories: the quatrains (rubayāt) and odes (ghazal) of the Divan, the six books of the Masnavi, The Discourses, The Letters, and the almost unknown Six Sermons.
Rumi's major work is the Maṭnawīye Ma'nawī (Spiritual Couplets; مثنوی معنوی), a six-volume poem regarded by some Sufis as the Persian-language Qur'an. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest works of mystical poetry. It contains approximately 27000 lines of Persian poetry.
Further information: Masnavi.
Rumi's other major work is the Dīwān-e Kabīr (Great Work) or Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi|Dīwān-e Shams-e Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz; دیوان شمس تبریزی named in honor of Rumi's master Shams.
"Become the sky.
Take an Axe to the prison wall.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.

Salmonella ser Typhi infections are widely recognized as a major cause of morbidity globally, with an estimated 21 million cases and between 200 000 and 600 000 deaths annually.1,2 The divergent estimates likely represent differences in methods used for assessing age-specific burden of typhoid and attributable mortality.3 In some parts of the world, notably South Asia,4 young children represent a subgroup with the highest burden of typhoid and also may have disproportionately high rates of morbidity and complications.5 The report by Lynch et al6 in this issue of JAMA summarizes current knowledge about cases of typhoid fever in the United States and highlights the role of international travel, the need for broader immunization practices, and concerns regarding increases in antibacterial resistance.

The third progress report on the implementation of the European Union Global Strategy, "The EU Global Strategy in Practice - Three years on, looking forward" looks at the progress achieved over the past three years, since the presentation of the Global Strategy in June 2016, in five priority areas - the security of the Union, state and social resilience to our east and south, an integrated approach to conflicts and crises, cooperative regional orders and global governance for the 21st century - and provides possible orientations for the way forward in the coming years.
As part of President Juncker's State of the Union proposals earlier this week the European Commission announced a new 'Africa - Europe Alliance for Sustainable Investment and Jobs'. The package builds on the commitments taken during the African Union – European Union Summit of last year in Abidjan where the two continents agreed to strengthen their partnership. The Alliance will lead to the creation of up to 10 million jobs in Africa in the next 5 years alone.

A.O. Scott, Alec Baldwin, David Mamet, Film, Glengarry Glen Ross, Images, James Foley, New York Times
How does one even begin to levy words for or against David Mamet's welding torch of a play Glengarry Glen Ross? It's such an expertly-worded piece of literature, any thing I could come up with in response would feel lifeless in comparison. So I'm going to back down. I'm going to let A.O. Scott, Chief Film Critic for the New York Times, speak instead. His assessment of the 1992 film-adaptation directed by James Foley says it all.
Also worth sharing is this eight minute clip, in which Alec Baldwin spits fire at his subordinates. Be warned, his language is very choice.
I should also mention that the image at the top of this post is by an artist named Sam Weber. More by him may be seen at Gallery Nucleus (http://www.gallerynucleus.com/detail/11479).
Best of luck to all as the term nears an end.

About us
Casa de São Francisco de Assis is a beneficent, philanthropic non-governamental Institution, registered at SANC - Social Assistance National Council and SAMC - Social Assistance Municipal Council, recognized as of State and Federal Public Utility, CARMC - Child's and Adolescent Rights Municipal Council; acting in the Third Section since its foundation in 1975. In this place at Rua Alice, 308 - Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro, people do social service, through the professionals' voluntary service, with the intention of giving social opportunity and dignity to all of those in need.
During all these years of existence we concluded that we needed more including social projects, that came to the encounter with the demand of the visitors of the institution. Those projects were being installed during those years through the arduous work of a group of associates that works, still today, for its maintenance.
We knew, for own experience, that all this community service should be without obligation for the people that is been assisted, or with a small financial collaboration so far as possible, for what we counted with the social helpers entrusted of evaluating all of the cases. As our purpose is to assist to a larger number of people with low income, we looked for partnerships and volunteers in the areas: doctor, dental, juridical and others. However we know that it is not still enough for the maintenance of the projects that are already in course, because our source of income is based on monthly fees, donations and events and a low helps from the government
Seeking the acceleration of the community work, we improved the Rua Alice's big house, our main location, and we created several sections of social insertion that goes since the distribution of food, medical services, dental services, psychological services, juridical services, also a place that attends 80 children, coming from families of low income of the neighborhood and nearby areas.

Never trust an Actress
Murakami, Ryu (translated by Ralph McCarthy)
Bloomsbury 2009
Let me state this right out front. I've never seen the movie that they made out of Audition, but I heard some really good things when it came out – it was shown here in a film festival a few years ago and provoked quite a wee storm of controversy (which is kind of what film festivals go for). So when I was perusing the shelves in the library (I was actually looking for Kafka by the Shore by the other famous Murakami, Haruki) and came across this book instead, I thought I'd give it a bash.
The story is basically that Aoyama, a 42 year old widower with a fifteen year old son, Shige, concocts the idea of auditioning a bunch of young lovelies for a bogus movie, when really, he's auditioning them for wife material. He owns a video production company, and his friend Yoshikawa (who is the one that comes up with the kind of morally ambiguous idea) is in films, so it's not outside the realms of possibility. The wanna-be actresses are all asked to submit a biographical essay, and it is this essay that causes Aoyama to fall head-over-heels in lurve with Yamasaki, a 24-year-old ex-ballerina (turned crazy-ass serial mutilator, but he doesn't know that yet). If I was a 42 year old man, I'd like to think that even a tiny part of my suddenly-testosterone-ravaged brain would be at least a little mistrustful of this demure, intense young woman hanging off my every word, which Yamasaki is frequently described as doing. But no, Aoyama follows the path beaten out for him, "in the received style, like any other spoony", in the words of Edward Rochester. But Edward Rochester he ain't, cublings.
The good bits first – it's short. The translated version that I got runs to 200 pages exactly. I think that I would have felt more than a little discouraged if a book that short couldn't be finished because it was just that terrible to read. Uh… other good bits? Isn't one enough for you? It's got a snazzy manga-esque cover. It's… short, did I already mention that? The family relationships are okay, I guess – Aoyama is sort of well written, if only he wasn't such an insufferable ignoramus, and Shige is a bit too perfect, and in fact becomes almost a cypher by the end of the book (though he does have an important part to play). I mean, for a boy who says flat out to his dad "Ever thought about getting married again?", he's a bit too respectful of the rest of his fathers business – never pushing to meet this girl who his dad is obviously mooning over in a big way, never even really asking questions about her. I guess all of that could be code for a bigger kind of metanarrative thing of how we're all so disconnected nowadays (which seems to be an idea that Japanese fiction returns to again and again), but I don't know. You could also read it in a way that when you're as obsessively in love with a person the way Aoyama becomes, everything else (and every one else) ceases to exist for you. But I just never really cared enough about any of the characters to find out or to even think that much about why they do what they do.
I guess that there can be a two-word summation of the bad parts of this novel: it's dull. I mean, I was expecting quite a lot, given the hoo-hah over the movie, but honestly. It's billed as a psychological thriller, and I was anything but thrilled. You really shouldn't be able to read a psychological thriller before bed, but I found myself drifting off, only able to read a page at a time. Now that is heavy dullness. Maybe I'm just jaded though; I am making my way very slowly through Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted, which is gross out of the highest order. I mean, that shit is amazingly disgusting – what made me want to read it was this review, which is quite hilarious, and useful because it gives us the helpful phrase 'Palahniuk Pass-out'. It's not the Japanese-ness of the text either; the reason that I was looking for Kafka on the Shore is that I wanted to re-read it because it's a great book; if you like that sort of thing (which I certainly do), you should try The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, and some of the short stories and novellas of Junichiro Tanizaki too.

New Delhi: In a fresh initiative for electronic toll collection (ETC), the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Friday operationalised one dedicated FASTag lane at all toll plazas on National Highways.
"Now FASTag enabled vehicles can cruise through the dedicated FASTag lane without stopping at toll plazas on National Highways," said a Road Transport and Highways Ministry statement.
The FASTag is an RFID tag available both online and offline through banks and common service centres. Two mobile applications, launched by NHAI on August 17 for ease of obtaining FASTags, have received tremendous response.
"Thousands of road users have downloaded the applications and purchased FASTags in less than two weeks. The penetration of FASTag has increased to 18 per cent as on August 31," the statement said.
The government has mandated that new vehicles being sold with effect from October 1 will be affixed with active FASTag.
The 'FASTag Partner App' will facilitate more than 6000 dealers in the country to access a single platform and activate the FASTag at the time of delivery of vehicle, it added.

NHAI has also launched massive awareness campaign to make road users aware of the FASTag and its benefits.
"NHAI officers have been tasked to visit toll plazas personally and ensure operationalisation of single dedicated electronic toll collection lane. NHAI plans that as penetration of FASTag increases, more and more lanes will be dedicated to ETC," according to the statement.

At the time, a trip across the world sounded magical, wonderful. With a baby still tucked safely inside my tummy, I had yet to realize how hard it would actually be to take this trip.
Pre-baby, Bryan and I traveled all the time. As a perk of Bryan's frequent travel schedule, we've been able to take very nice vacations on points and miles alone. This one included.
Since having Liam, obviously, our trips have scaled down just a bit. We've taken several trips with Liam, and just one without Liam. We went on 5-day trip to Florida in May to celebrate our anniversary without Liam. Like this trip, I was dreading it, but much to my amazement, we all survived every day we were away. Liam loved being spoiled by Gigi, and it was so wonderful to be able to reconnect and unwind with my husband. (Not to mention sleep in!) At the end of those five days, I was SO ready to see our baby. It literally felt like my arms were aching as we sulked through a 4-hour delay on our way home.
This trip we're taking is 10 days. DOUBLE the time. So for months now, I've had this week looming ahead of me. I use that word, "looming," purposefully. I'm excited, yet dreading it at the same time.
"No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future. It's impossible to be happy if you're constantly somewhere else, unable to fully embrace the reality (good or bad) of this very moment."This really hit home, especially as I wrote a few weeks ago about feeling "less than" lately. And even more so as I think about this trip.
This trip is happening, ready or not. So why am I wasting energy worrying about it? And what am I even worrying about? I know Liam will be in the best of hands with his grandparents and our nanny. They will all take the very best care of him. And once you have a baby, I feel like your mortality becomes so much more...real. In other words, if our plane crashes on the way to Peru, he loses both of his parents. I realize this is morbid. In the same vein of wasting energy worry about things that are going to happen anyway, it's also a waste of energy to worry about things that are out of our control.
I also feel guilty for leaving him, and I've been all kinds of stressed out thinking about whether or not to continue pumping while I'm gone, or to wean. I literally CRY when I talk about the trip. This is not, OK, people.
I'm not going to jail. I'm not going to the other end of the Earth. I'm not even going to be gone for two weeks. I'M GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA. This is exiting and amazing! We are going to Machu Picchu and South American wine country, for crying out loud. To say nothing of Buenos Aires.
Basically, I need to pull my shit together and change my perspective. I need to realize how many people would LOVE to trade places with me. I need to be grateful that we can afford such a trip, regardless of points or miles, and that we have grandparents who are willing to travel to our home, take time from their lives and allow us to do such a thing. Taking a luxurious vacation to South America most certainly is not something to cry over.
I've figured out a plan for the whole pumping scenario - one that works in such a way that I can do so on our trip without (hopefully) affecting my supply too much, but that also will not interfere with the trip.
Not to mention, the trip will be so good for me and my husband. Strengthening the bond with Bryan is also in Liam's best interest. Nothing bad can come of quality time with your significant other.
Whom, I really need to apologize to. He's planned our ENTIRE trip and literally has barely shared a detail with me because he doesn't want to upset me. I know he thinks I'm not excited. (Honey, if you're reading, I'M EXCITED! I promise, I am.) I am so grateful my wonderful husband. Trip planning is but one of his many talents and things I love about him. I haven't even thought about the fact that he is having a hard time leaving Liam for an extended period, as well. It's nice to know we'll have each other as support. (Along with some amazing Chilean wine to take our minds off it, ya know?)
So here's to seriously letting go, embracing reality and opportunity, and being thankful for this trip and all the good that will come out of it, for us, for Liam, for the grandparents.
I'll catch ya'll on the flip side!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (MS.N), Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) and three other banks agreed to pay a combined $111.2 million to settle U.S. litigation accusing them of rigging prices in the roughly $5 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market.
The preliminary settlements were detailed in filings late Friday in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, and require a judge's approval.
Fourteen of the 16 banks that were sued have settled, for a total payout of $2.12 billion, court papers show.
Friday's settlements include $50 million for Morgan Stanley, $15.5 million for RBC, $18 million for Societe Generale (SOGN.PA), $17.2 million for Standard Chartered Plc (STAN.L) and $10.5 million for Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (8306.T).
The banks denied wrongdoing. Their settlements were reached with help from Kenneth Feinberg, a mediation specialist who previously oversaw funds to compensate victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Investors accused banks of conspiring to manipulate key currency benchmark rates, including the WM/Reuters Closing Spot Rates, or the Fix, through the use of chat rooms with names such as "The Cartel" and "The Mafia," and such tactics as "front running," "banging the close" and "painting the screen."
Lawyers for the investors said Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN.S) and Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) have yet to settle. Deutsche Bank declined to comment. Credit Suisse was not immediately available for comment after market hours.
The litigation followed worldwide probes into currency manipulation that resulted in about $10 billion in fines for several large banks.
U.S. prosecutors have brought related criminal charges against six traders. One has pleaded guilty.
Other banks that have settled the investor litigation are Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS.
The case is In re: Foreign Exchange Benchmark Rates Antitrust Litigation, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 13-07789.

Technical Paper
NO Laser-Induced Fluorescence Imaging in the Combustion Chamber of a Spray-Guided Direct-Injection Gasoline Engine
In direct-injection gasoline (GDI) engines with charge stratification, minimizing engine-out nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission is crucial since exhaust-gas aftertreatment tolerates only limited amounts of NOx. Reduced NOx production directly lowers the frequency of energy-inefficient catalyst regeneration cycles. In this paper we investigate NO formation in a realistic GDI engine. Quantitative in-cylinder measurements of NO concentrations are carried out via laser-induced fluorescence imaging with excitation of NO (A-X(0,2) band at 248 nm), and subsequent fluorescence detection at 220-240 nm. Engine modifications were kept to a minimum in order to provide results that are representative of practical operating conditions. Optical access via a sapphire ring enabled identical engine geometry as a production line engine. The engine is operated with commercial gasoline ("Super-Plus", RON 98).

Some nutrients will help heal faster and more efficiently from injury.
Healthy Eating
According to Canada's Food Guide, the four food groups are: Vegetables and Fruit, Grain Products, Milk and Alternatives and Meat and Alternatives. A balanced meal is choosing at least three out of the four food groups.
- Excess fat stored in the body can increase inflammation in the body. Fats are essential so choose healthier fats and limit bad fats.
- There are three main types of fat: saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Saturated fat is bad because it is utilized in your body in a different manner than monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Good fats include: fish, hemp, flax and walnuts.
- Decrease the overall saturated fat in your meal plan by choosing lean cuts of meat, low fat milk and alternatives such as Essential Cheese (low fat cheese).
- Limit foods with refined sugars, such as foods with added sugar, baked goods, and sweetened beverages. Choose whole grains, such as steel cut oats, brown rice, quinoa, and barley most often. Have protein with each meal because it helps to slow digestion and is better for inflammation.
- Nutrients found in fruits (pineapple), vegetables (dark leafy greens and carrots), herbs and spices (cinnamon, ginger, turmeric) are anti-inflammatory.
- Vit C helps with wound healing and collagen production
- Brussels sprouts, papaya, citrus fruits, tomatoes, melons, berries, red peppers, broccoli
- Vit E
- Almonds, eggs, hazelnuts, peanut butter, wheat germ, dark green vegetables, whole grains, beans

TGIF, readers! For your viewing pleasure today, the trailer for Cocktail Cruises: The Collection. (Authors, check out Animoto to make free 30-second videos like this one. I love it!)

Writers' Wednesday: Spotlight on Featured Author Marianne Sciucco
Welcome Wednesday readers! It's time to feature another of the contributing authors from Cocktail Cruises: The Collection. This week's spotlight is on Marianne Sciucco, whose first novel Blue Hydrangeas has garnered almost 100 4+ stars on Amazon and is the story of a couple facing the challenge of Alzheimer's. Marianne's cocktail recipe in the Cocktail Cruises Collection is, fittingly, the Blue Hydrangea, a twist on the traditional Cape Codder. Tempting, right?
For more about Marianne and her work, read on:
Hi Allie. Thanks so much for sharing some space with me on your blog and letting me speak to your readers. I'm so excited about my latest book project, a YA novel called Swim Season, the story of high school swimmer Aerin Keane, the new girl on the team who challenges a longstanding school record.
I've been writing forever and indie-published my first novel, Blue Hydrangeas, last year. Like so many writers, I wear many hats, one of which is called "Swim Mom." I've shuttled my daughter to swim meets and swim practice for years, and now follow her across state lines during her college swimming career. All those hours sitting on cold, metal bleachers waiting to watch her swim for a minute or two gave me more than a sore you-know-what: It inspired me to write this book.
My goal was to write a story about the whole high school swimming experience, to show others who may not be as familiar with the sport how much fun it is and how hard these kids work. I started it four years ago and will soon have a completed manuscript. The plan is to publish in spring 2015.
In Swim Season, Aerin is determined to leave her troubles behind as she starts her senior year in her third high school. Senior year is supposed to be fun, right? Friends. Parties. Dating. She wants to be like every other girl at Two Rivers. Except Aerin has two secrets: Her mom is not a nurse serving in Afghanistan (a twist on the truth) and she is not an average varsity swimmer (an untruth of epic proportions.) Ready to give up her dreams of a college swimming scholarship and a shot at the Olympics, Aerin decides she doesn't want to win anymore, she wants to swim for fun, it's her "therapy." But when her desire to be just "one of the girls on the team" collides with her desire to be the best this school has ever seen, Aerin sacrifices her new friendships to challenge a longstanding school record attached to a $50,000 scholarship.
Here's a sneak peek:
As soon as classes ended for the day, the team gathered on the pool deck dressed in our warm up suits, swimsuits underneath. The chatter was at a feverish pitch as the girls assembled into their tiny groups, the newbies huddling together at the end of the bench, watching as Coach and a few members of the boys' team set up equipment for the meet. Some of the newbies looked terrified, including Charlie, who gave me a weak smile when I said hello. This was her first meet with the big girls, and she'd been talking about nothing else the last two days. She was petrified she'd make a mistake, be disqualified, or swim the wrong stroke. No matter how much Mel and I tried to convince her she had nothing to worry about she continued to bite her nails to the nubs and fear the worst.
The seniors staked out their own spot on the other end of the bench, joking amongst themselves, much more relaxed than the newbies. All of them had been on the team for several years, some as many as five. I was the only one who had never competed in this pool. I didn't think it would be any different from any other swim meet. I leaned against the wall with Mel and Erica, waiting for Coach to come over and give us our pre-meet pep talk and plan of action. Our opponent had not yet arrived.
Coach walked over with his clipboard in hand. "Over here, girls," he said, bringing us in close. "This is our first meet and we're lucky it's against the Hawks. We beat them most every time. This year they're pretty thin. They lost their powerhouse senior, and haven't replaced her with anyone as dynamic that we know of today. So, you can feel confident we'll win again, but don't feel too confident because I heard they've got a couple of foreign exchange students they're keeping under wraps. We don't know too much about them and they could surprise us. It's happened before. They swim distance and butterfly, so Tatiana and Erica, you need to pay attention to what's happening in the next lane, ok?"
He turned toward the newbies. "I want every one of you to take a few breaths." He demonstrated some relaxation breathing. "And relax," he said, smiling. "You're all going to do fine. You'll each swim one event, and some of you will swim two and a relay." He looked at Charlie. "Just get in the water and do what you know how to do."
They looked at him gratefully, an audible sigh of relief passing between them.
"Now, here's the lineup," Coach said. "I had to mix it up a little bit to cover all our bases." He went through the order of events, announcing who would compete in each one. There were a few moans and a couple of groans from swimmers unhappy with their events. No one liked to race out of her comfort zone and many preferred to do what she did best. Only a few girls excelled in more than one stroke. I was not one of them. Coach had me in the 200 and the 500 freestyles, plus on the "B" team for the 200 and 400 free relays. No surprises. I figured I'd pace myself to a third or fourth place finish, maybe fifth, which would still earn points for the team. No way would I come in last. That never happened.
"Now, everybody in the pool for warm up," Coach ordered.
We jumped into our assigned lanes and started easy laps, warming up our muscles, preparing ourselves for the impending races. I moved through the water languidly, stretching my arms and legs as far as possible, taking easy breaths on the third stroke. I shared my lane with four other swimmers and we stayed out of each other's way. I executed smooth flip turns, not losing any speed, and glided from wall to wall. After about twenty laps, I stopped in the shallow end to catch my breath. Mel was in the next lane.
"Here they are," she said, out of breath, her face red. I looked behind me and saw our opponents emerge from the visitors' locker room in their red and white warm up suits. In minutes, they had stripped to their swimsuits.
"Wow," I said. "They're pretty big."
"Not really," said Mel. "The biggest ones are seniors and they didn't do much last year, didn't even make the finals in championships. That small one with the long, blonde hair is their best swimmer. She almost beat Tati in the 200 and 500 free last year. Other than that, no real threat."
"If you girls are done with your warm up you can get out and head to the locker room for final instructions," Coach said from the sidelines. I hadn't noticed him sneak up on us.
Mel ducked under and headed for the ladder.
"You're looking good, Aerin," Coach said. "I hope to see something special from you today."
I nodded. This was the first time he'd given me any praise or laid any expectations on me. I felt a tiny thrill and then a huge sense of foreboding. Part of me was proud to be recognized, but another part of me longed to remain anonymous. My intention to stay under the radar this season was still top priority. Gaining Coach's attention threatened that, and made me a little uneasy.
"I'll do my best," I said.
Swim Season means so much to me - and to many of the swimmers and swim parents I've talked to - that I decided to do something different to ensure its success. I recently launched a campaign on Pubslush, a marketing platform that offers me a way to test the waters, build an audience, and provide start-up funds necessary to publish, distribute, and promote Swim Season. Please take a moment to check out my page where you can read the first chapter and watch a short video where I explain my project. Then please join my team. There are lots of great incentives, including free books. You don't even have to get wet!

An affair with an exotic cruise line dance instructor might be just the escape this single mother needs…
Andrea DeMarco is determined to merge a cruise ship career and single motherhood. But that leaves zero time for sex or love, so when she has a chance for a fling with a sexy cruise ship dancer, she goes for it.
Sebastian Vasquez enjoys a low-key life as the ship's dance instructor, a welcome change from his previous life in Argentina as the star of a hugely popular dance show. But when Andrea sweeps into his life, everything changes.
Will new love help him come to terms with his past, and convince her to find room in her life for another man?

Sebastian Vasquez enjoys a low-key life as the ship's dance instructor, a welcome change from his previous life in Argentina as the star of a hugely popular dance show. But when Andrea sweeps into his life, everything changes.
Will new love help him come to terms with his past, and convince her to find room in her life for another man?
Savvy Tip of the Day:
There is nothing wrong with having a no-strings-attached fling. As long as you're clear from the start about what you're looking for, getting naked with someone can be the perfect way to regain your mojo after a long dry spell.
Andrea DeMarco rested her chin in one hand and finished reading today's article on her favorite advice website, The Savvy Sex Goddess's Guide to Life, Love, and Getting What You Want. Dry spell? She had a whole Sahara Desert stretched out in her past. She couldn't remember the last time she'd gotten naked with someone. Well over a year. Maybe even pushing two. Ugh. Depressing thought. She shut down the computer and rooted around in her makeup bag for lip gloss. She was already running late, and she had a cruise ship to catch in less than six hours. Between now and then she had to get her son off to school, pack, and stop by corporate headquarters in Tampa before boarding the Spirit of the Sea.
The cruise ship. Now there was a place filled with possibility for a no-strings-attached fling. Cocktail Cruise Lines specialized in singles' cruises, which meant the ship was bound to be filled with men of all ages, types, heights and builds.
"Yeah, and I'm there to work," she muttered.
She zipped her suitcase and put her laptop into its case. Even though she worked in the cruise line's marketing department, she rarely stepped foot on any of the ships. She was sailing this time only because the CEO wanted someone from corporate to see the new itinerary. True, she wouldn't be chained to a desk or stuck inside an office the whole time. She could mingle. She was supposed to mingle, and get passengers' opinions, which meant she'd be talking to single men. But she wouldn't know the first thing about going from talking to actually having a fling.
Andrea pulled on a long-sleeved pink t-shirt and rolled up the cuffs. For just an instant, the ship's tall, sexy ballroom dance instructor flashed inside her mind's eye. Sebastian Vasquez had been working on the Spirit of the Sea for almost a year. She'd crossed paths with him twice before, and each time he'd pulled her onto the stage for a little two-step to please the crowd. But oh, it had definitely pleased her as well. She could still recall the way he'd spun her in circles and left her weak in the knees.
Now that would be someone to have a fling with. South American and sexy as hell, she bet Sebastian had women lined up to sleep with him. That body. That accent.
She bent over her makeup bag and peered inside. She had bought a new Funky Fuchsia lip gloss, hadn't she? She could have sworn she had. She pulled her long blonde hair off her neck and reminded herself to make an appointment for a cut when she returned, because –
Drew's screech echoed through the small, ranch-style house. Andrea dropped the makeup bag and stood straight up. Little tubes and pallets and brushes scattered across the bedroom floor.
She dashed for the living room, heart ratcheting out of her chest. Drew never screamed like that. Ever. She skidded down the hall on bare feet. He was conscious and breathing, if he was making noise, right? He shrieked again, and she prepared herself for blood or a femur sticking through the skin or worse.
"What, baby? What's wrong?"
Her tow-headed six-year old stood in the middle of the couch, eyes wide, pointing at the floor. "Mommy, look!" No blood. No broken bones. Her stomach righted itself.
At that moment, the house's resident mouse scuttled from under the coffee table to the baseboard heater. A smaller one followed. Andrea laced her hands over her eyes. There are two of them now?
"Mommy, did you see them? Did you see both of them?" Drew clutched his hands together in the gesture that normally made her smile. Today she marched over to the couch and grabbed him under both arms.
"Yes I did, but you scared me." She planted him on the floor and put one finger under his chin. "Do you understand? When you yelled like that, I thought you were hurt." Perspiration covered her face. Her heart still hadn't settled down.
Drew's bottom lip pushed out. "I wanted you to see them. You never see them."
Yes, I do, she almost answered. Calling the exterminator just wasn't near the top of her list of priorities. She wasn't hurting for money, but she was desperately short on time. She couldn't wait around during a four-hour window for someone from Rid-a-Rats to show up. She'd hoped that putting traps in the closets would have done the trick, but it looked as though these mice weren't hungry for peanut butter.
"Come on." She took him by the hand and led him back down the hall. "You need to finish packing."
"I don't wanna go to Uncle Toby's." Drew's walk turned to a sliding of feet along the hardwood. He pulled at her arm. "I wanna go with you."
"I know, baby, but you can't. Cruises are for very extra special occasions. You know Mommy is only going for work." She'd probably made a mistake bringing him along to Cozumel last year. It was all he could talk about now: meeting the captain, getting to ride the elevators, selecting from the endless meal choices on the buffet. She rubbed the top of his head, messing his feather-light blonde hair. She'd probably made a thousand mistakes in all these years of raising him alone, and was bound to make more.
They stopped in the doorway of his bedroom, and she dropped to her knees and hugged him. One thing she hadn't done wrong, though, and that was love him to the moon and back.
Do you know how hard it is, raising a kid on your own?
Ron will never be around. You'll have to sue him for child support.
There are other options, you know. Have you thought about adoption?
Unexpectedly pregnant one year out of high school, working a part-time job, she'd listened to her friends and family at first. She'd spent nights lying awake in tears, she'd made lists, she'd weighed her options, and then she'd ignored everyone's advice. From the moment she felt Drew move inside her belly, she'd loved him. When the doctor laid him in her arms, pink and wet and bawling his little lungs out, she'd loved him. Every scraped knee and nightmare and tantrum, every minute of letting go as he learned to walk and talk and dress himself and climb to the top of the jungle gym, she'd loved him. She hadn't known her heart could grow with the love that filled it, that every day and week and year her heart would get bigger as Drew did. It amazed her.
"Mommy, you're strangulating me," he said against her shoulder, and reluctantly she pulled back. His blue eyes met hers, and she knew in a minute he'd tug her in with that don't-leave-me look. In those moments he reminded her of his father, the way he could cajole and manipulate and twist her inside out. She stood and brushed the dust from her black jeans.
His father. Damn it to hell. After five years of moving around the country, of sending the occasional post card from a commune in New Mexico or a mountain top in California, the jackass had showed up in Florida last year and announced his intentions to get to know his son.
"Over my dead body," she said aloud.
Drew frowned. "What does that mean?"
"Nothing, baby," she said, and steered him into his room. "I was talking to myself." Toys lay scattered across the bed and floor. His denim knapsack sat open and empty on his bed. Much as she would have liked to bring him with her, snuggle into his skin at night, point out constellations from the Aloha Deck, and have the ship's cook make him Mickey Mouse pancakes, that simply wasn't an option this time.
"Uncle Toby will be here in an hour to take you to school. You need to be ready to go. Decide which toys are going with you and which are staying here."
Drew gave a dramatic sigh and launched himself onto his bed, where he began sorting his toys into piles.
Andrea's cell phone rang. "Please tell me you're not running late," she said as she answered on the first ring. Her brother had a tendency to do that, and today was not the day for –
"Late for what?" came the low, scratchy voice in response.
Oh, hell. Andrea stared at the phone, reading the number on the screen for the first time. "Ron? Why are you calling me at seven in the morning?"
"I'm going out of town for a few days."
"And not coming back?" she asked hopefully.
"And I'm hoping we can sit down when I get back and talk about working out some time for me to spend time with Drew. You didn't return my last couple of calls."
Her fingers drew into a ball. As much as she wanted to refuse to see him, or to let Drew see him, she had no legal grounds. Ron had left her three months after Drew was born, but he hadn't waived his rights. He'd always managed to send money. And in the last six months, he'd made her life miserable with threats about suing for joint custody.
"Is that going to be a problem?" he asked when she didn't answer. "We've been around and around about this. I'm tired of waiting. It's almost Christmas. I'd like to be able to see my son for the holidays."
My son. How dare Ron say those words so glibly? "We'll talk about it when you get back," she answered around the lump in her throat. Like he could take Drew to sit on Santa's lap and everything would be fine.
"I've already talked to my attorney about the hours you work," Ron said.
"You work twelve, fourteen hour days at the office. You told me that."
Her jaw tightened. She had, too, when she'd announced that she made a six-figure salary and provided well enough for Drew that they didn't need Ron's money. She'd thrown the words at him, proud that she'd worked her way up the corporate ladder and didn't rely on anyone to support her.
"A six year old needs his mother at home. Not at the office until nine o'clock at night."
"How dare you –" She stormed down the hall and into the half-bathroom by the front door. Seething, she spit the words through clenched teeth. "How dare you accuse me of neglecting my son. You think you know what a six year old needs from his mother? How about what he needs from his father? Oh, but wait. You wouldn't know anything about that. You don't have the first clue about raising a child, or you would've stuck around after he was born." She turned on the faucet to hide her trembling voice and prayed Drew wouldn't come looking for her.
Ron cleared his throat. "I'm talking about the present, Andrea. I've made mistakes in the past. I never said I didn't."
"I am not having this conversation with you right now."
"I just wanted to let you know that I'll be away until the middle of next week."
She didn't mention that she'd be out of town as well. Ron didn't need to know the details of her life. If he had an issue with her staying late at the office, what would he say if he knew she was leaving Drew in the hands of his uncle for six days? He'd turn that into some shit about maternal abandonment.
"Fine," she said and hung up. She pulled her hair back from her face and stared into the mirror. Two pink circles burned in her cheeks, and her mascara was smudged. She didn't imagine she'd be having any flings on board the Spirit of the Sea now, regardless of the opportunity or the Savvy Goddess's advice. The last thing she needed was Ron finding out and twisting the facts to suit his purpose.
Sometimes Andrea wished the Savvy Goddess had a section on her website for foolproof ways to get rid of unwanted exes and dispose of the bodies without getting caught. A small smile tugged at her lips. Or, at the very least, how to live as a single mother and not spend nights wondering if she was ever going to fall in love or feel attractive to a man again.

B & G Milky Way: A South Dakota Delight
In Eastern South Dakota, residents measure their calendar year by two dates: The day B & G Milky Way opens for business and the day B & G Milky Way closes. The former being the happiest day of the year as it marks the beginning of carefree summer days and ice cream laden sunsets, and the latter date one of the saddest as it marks the end of frozen treat season and the beginning of freezing, blustery temperatures.
A local mainstay with a cult-like following, B & G Milky Way has been serving up a flurry of frozen desserts and other summertime favorite snacks for over 60 sweet years. The first location was opened in 1954 on West 12th Street in Sioux Falls by owners Bertha and Guy Higgens — hence the name B & G. Today, the original building still stands largely unchanged as does the incessant line of hungry sweet-toothed patrons.
B & G Milky Way now serves the ever-growing Sioux Falls area with four separate locations as well as one location in neighboring Tea, South Dakota. Each location maintains the local, old fashioned drive-up feel with refreshing friendly service evoking a nostalgic, easy feel of simpler times. Their strawberry ice cream is the most popular item which is made in-house, is trademarked, and has a secret recipe. Other favorites include the sloppy joes, hot dogs, avalanches, slushwhips, and of course the timeless malts and sundaes. And for a true cherry on top, B & G's ice cream surprisingly packs a lower calorie and fat content than its competitors with a small vanilla cone clocking in at only 70 calories and 2.5 grams of fat!

Dear Family,
During this school year, the kindergarten, second and fourth grade classes will receive training in a personal safety program. This program teaches children skills that will help keep them safe from dangerous and abusive situations. They will understand that everyone has a right to protect his/her body. Children will learn to ask for help when they need it. The children will learn that there are safety rules about touching and that there are three kinds of touches:
- Safe touches. These are touches that keep you safe and are good for your body. They make you feel cared for, loved and important. Safe touches include hugging, holding hands, pats on the back, an arm around the shoulder, and a shot from the doctor.
- Unsafe touches. These are touches that are not good for your body and hurt your body or your feelings. (for example: hitting, pushing, pinching, kicking, and breaking the touching rule.)
- Unwanted touches. These may be safe touches, yet the child doesn't want to be touched in that way, by that person, or at that moment in time. It is okay for a child to say "No" to unwanted touches. Children can say "No" to any unwanted touch; even if the person touching them is someone they know. Help your child practice saying "No" in a strong yet polite voice. This will help children learn to set personal boundaries for keeping themselves safe.
In these lessons, the children will learn the Touching Rule: "A person should not touch your private body parts, except to keep you clean and healthy." They will learn that private body parts are "those parts covered by a swimsuit." It is recommended that you teach your child at home the correct anatomical names for private body parts so that, if necessary, he or she is able to communicate accurately about any touching questions or problems they may have. The children will learn the Safety Steps that will guide them to know what do if someone breaks the touching rule or is abusing them in any manner.
Safety Steps
- Listen to the "uh oh" feeling (Recognize)
- Say No (Resist)
- Go and tell a grown up. (Report)
Children need to be able to identify adults to talk to, both inside and outside the family, since you may not always be available. The children learn that it is not their fault if someone breaks the touching rule and that it is never too late to tell.
The fourth grade curriculum includes information about physical abuse, verbal abuse, neglect and sexual abuse. This gives students the vocabulary to tell an adult that they trust if they (or someone they know) are being abused.
Due to the sensitive topic, you are invited to review the material. You may contact me at 435-279-6783 or 279-8292 if you have any questions or would like to look at the material.

Artisan Yogurt Producer Choked Out of Business By Bureaucratic Red Tape
Photo: Mom the Barbarian
Just as it seems we may be moving back toward some sort of food culture in a nation plagued by the side effects of big Ag, red tape chokes another small producer out of business. Take the story of artisan yogurt producer Homa Dashtaki, recently written up in The Economist. Dashtaki makes the kind of artfully created yogurt that makes a foodie sing. But while Big Ag can dump endless supplies of pesticides on genetically modified produce, Dashtaki is called to shut down immediately or risk prosecution for making her artfully prepared yogurt.Homa Dashtaki started a tiny artisan yogurt business, named The White Moustache, for her father. According to The Economist, she had yet to make a profit, as she brought in $300 in revenue a week, before she was called to shut down.
[S]he encountered that other American tradition, red tape (after the red bands that used to hold bundles of bureaucratic papers together in the old days). For although she had spent a year getting the required permits from Orange County, she had, it turned out, yet to make the acquaintance of the "milk and dairy food safety branch" of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). On a Saturday morning in March, Ms Dashtaki got a call and was told to shut down or risk prosecution.
It's a keen example of pushing a start up down when it's what we need the most. Again, The Economist:
Her business, while it lasted, consisted of herself, making yogurt on the instructions of her father. Ms Dashtaki was renting space in the kitchen of an Egyptian restaurant where she and her father, "like elves before and after their working hours", lovingly cultured their yogurt under a blanket, then drained it through a certain kind of cheese cloth, then stirred it for hours, and so forth. For the taste to be divine, everything has to be just so. And, being artisans, they kept the volume tiny, about 20 gallons (76 litres) a week, for sale only at local farmers' markets.
Dashtaki was willing to comply with necessary regulations until she learned what they were. In fact, the out-of-date regulations, which had been enacted in 1947, required that all yogurt go through an elaborate pasteurization system. The only problem was that Dashtaki's yogurt wasn't starting from a raw product; the milk had already been pasteurized. The regulation required that her $300 per week business set up a Grade A dairy plant just as large manufacturers would do, an entirely ridiculous proposition. Even though the yogurt had already been pasturized, Dashtaki was unable to get a waiver.
Dashtaki is considering moving out of California to another state with more realistic laws, but for now she's in a holding pattern. It's time to take a step back and look at who's getting hurt by such antiquated and downright absurd laws.

I promise this will be my last post about author reviews for a while. Recently I re-blogged an article – You READ – but do you leave REVIEWS from Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog. This article stressed the importance of leaving reviews on Amazon on the books we have read. This goes double for indie authors.
Gail Kaufman left a comment on that re-blog that got me thinking and I'm going to quote her here –
Gail Kaufman
"If I like a book, I always leave a review but not if I don't like it. When I don't like a book, it's not necessarily because it's bad. Sometimes, it is simply not what I expected or not my style. For example, I don't enjoy graphic violence or books about sports. That's not a reflection on the writer; it's just not my thing. So I can't honestly leave a good review, but it wouldn't be fair to leave a bad review either; so I'm silent in those cases."
She's right you know. It's all a matter of opinion whether or not we like or enjoy what we read. Don't be hasty to leave a bad review if you dislike what you read. I know – I said before that all reviews count in numbers on Amazon, but do we really want to have our star rating pulled down when someone posted a bad review because they didn't enjoy the story? Probably not.
Yes, we all want to know what the readers think of our story. We want the honest review. But, remember – you can't please every reader out there. Maybe that displeased reader will contact you personally and let you know why he didn't like the story. It does happen!
No, I'm not writing this because I've gotten a sudden surge of bad reviews. Coffee-Drunk Or Blind has twenty-four reviews – all five-star, and Crossing the Line has seventeen positive reviews and one negative. Of course that one negative review irks me, but you can't engage. Never engage!
I would love more reviews because I know more have read, but as I've also said before, some people just don't review. Here's hoping they are enjoying what they are reading anyway, and I thank them for their purchase!
Now I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi, but I've read some to support some fellow authors. Also on my not-so-loved genre list is Paranormal – but there are some good ones out that have surprised me when I read them. Again, to support my fellow authors. My pick of the litter lately, is Historical Fiction. I'm hooked. The more I read, the more I want to write in that genre!
So to change the subject to something more pleasant than 'to review or not to review', – what are your favorite genre's to read?

2007 Inductee: Wilson Whineray
Wilson Whineray played with distinction for a number of New Zealand provinces and the national side in a sparkling rugby career.
IRB Hall of Fame - Induction No 4 - Sir Wilson James Whineray KNZM, OBE, MBA, BCom (1935-) New Zealand
Personal details
- Born: 10 July, 1935 at Auckland, New Zealand
- Parents – Bruce and Ida.
- Wilson is the 3rd of five boys. Brother Bruce (2nd in the family) was a NZ hockey representative, and for a period captained the national hockey team.
Education - Auckland Grammar School; Massey Agricultural College; Lincoln College. MBA in business management as a Harkness Fellow at Harvard University.
- Married to Elisabeth (nee Seymour). Children James (born just before the 3rd test at Bloemfontein in 1960, in Palmerston North), Kristen, Susan.
- Other sports: Boxing - NZ Universities heavyweight boxing champion in the 1970s
- Nickname: Noddy
- Awards: NZ Sportsman of the Year in 1965. OBE in 1962; knighted in June 1998 for services to sport and business. 2002 inducted in the NZ Business Hall of Fame; 2003 Elected patron of NZRU; 2007 Inducted to the IRB Hall of Fame
Rugby Career
- Main position - Loose-head prop, though he played occasionally at No.8 (in school he started at scrum-half under coach Jim Bracewell)
- Provincial rugby: Wairarapa (3 matches 1953), Mid Canterbury (9 matches 1954), Manawatu (7 matches in 1955), Canterbury (16 matches 1956-57), Waikato (7 matches 1958), Auckland (61 matches 1959-66), South Island (1957), North Island (6 matches 1958-65),
Note: His nomadic rugby career arose through the requirements of training as a farm appraiser.
- Representative rugby: NZ under-21s in tour of Ceylon 1955, NZ under-23s as captain in Japan in 1958, All Black trials (15 matches), NZ Universities (1956-57) and New Zealand. He also played for the Centurions club of NZ, the NZ Barbarians, in the 1964 South African Jubilee games and was captain of the South African Barbarians against Natal in 1960.
- He coached successfully Grammar School OB RFC (1970-73) and Onslow RFC in Wellington (1974).
Playing career highlights
- In 1956, at the age of 21, he was on winning sides for Canterbury and the NZ Universities against South Africa.
- He played for Auckland sides in their Ranfurly Shield reign of 1960-63.
- He also skippered the Auckland side that took the shield from Southland in 1959.
- Though first capped on the 1957 tour of Australia, a year later he led the under-23s and became New Zealand captain for the 1958 series against Australia when he was aged only 23, scoring two tries in his first match as skipper. He became the longest-serving captain and possibly, the greatest, in New Zealand.
- Arguably the high point of his career on the 1963-64 tour of Britain and France. "Willie Away" became the All Black call, coming from a lineout peel in which he was a principal component, running through from a scrum half position to set up attacks in midfield. His handling was so good that in the final game of tour, against the Barbarians at Cardiff, he raced away to score the last try with an outrageous dummy and was hoisted on Barbarian shoulders and carried from the field, applauded by players and spectators alike, who sang: "For he's a jolly good fellow."
Rugby statistics
- All Black debut - 18 May, 1957 v New South Wales at Sydney aged 21 years, 312 days.
- Test debut - 25 May, 1957 v Australia at Sydney aged 21 years, 319 days.

- The third New Zealander to reach 30 caps behind Don Clarke and Colin Meads.

Professional career
He became a successful businessman and chaired the board of one of the country's largest industries, Carter Holt Harvey. He served on the boards of several other companies, and was the managing director of NZ Wool Marketing Corporation in 1973-74. He was also chairman of the Hillary Commission, the body set up by the Government to oversee elite sport funding. From 1980 he was on the Eden Park Stadium board of control and after serving rugby in a number of advisory roles he became the New Zealand Rugby Union patron in 2003. He has now retired as Chairman of both the National Bank of New Zealand, Carter Holt Harvey and as a Director of Auckland International Airport Ltd but still serves as a Director on the APN News and Media Ltd and Nestle Ltd
What he said:
"The world will still go on, the sun will shine, if we get beaten."
"A question is whether leadership can be taught? Is it learned or hereditary? Clearly it's a combination of all those things. There have been some studies of military and business that show leadership can be taught, can improve leadership qualities without a doubt. In my case, I had a huge amount of help through my term as captain of the All Blacks team, which I did for about eight years. At the time I thought I was a pretty average kind of captain, but as you go on and learn from the experience, the mistakes, you learn from them and how to improve. By the time I finished I was a useful captain, largely because there was nothing that could happen on the field that I hadn't had to deal with in an earlier game." (Times Online interview)
"Sport at Grammar has much to be proud of. What other activity has done so much to cross social, cultural and racial divides so well with so little fuss. What other activity has engendered such a feeling of pride in our school community. Consider the contribution that sport has made to the development of character in our adolescent boys - a will to succeed, respect for the rules and ethos of the game, the mental and physical toughening that flows from bumps, bruises, a black eye, cut lip - when you know you must get up and push on. All this lies at the heart of the game as we know it and for these reasons we continue the love affair with sport that began when we were boys." (Address at the opening of the new pavilion at Auckland Grammar School in 2007)

€ 100

This new take on the classic sneaker by Scuderia Ferrari offers great wearability.
With their bold and modern look, the defining features of the new Future Cat Casual shoes are the white rubber and tone-on-tone stitching on the side that creates the wave-shaped stripe pattern. The side is embellished by the iconic yellow Ferrari Shield while the Puma logo sits on the tongue and is also printed on the sole of the shoe. These casual sneakers guarantee comfort, due to special mesh construction of the tongue, which ensures just the right amount of breathability.
