Lindsay Boxer is a San Francisco
homicide detective. She is on the trail
of a serial killer who kills teenage boys when a car chase ends with her
shooting two teenagers. She kills one
and paralyzes the other. She was
off-duty and had alcohol in her bloodstream, over the legal limit. The children's father sues her. Her career could be ruined. She takes time off from work and goes to
stay at her sister's house. But she
can't stop doing detective work, especially because there are other serial
killings going on. Boxer meets a series
of weird and unsavory characters, but is one of them a psychopathic murderer?
I listened to this as an unabridged
audiobook, and found it compulsive listening yet utterly devoid of insight into
crime, detecting, or living. It takes
about 8 or so hours to listen to, and there are about 150 chapters, which means
they are very short. Often chapters
will break in the middle of a scene purely for dramatic effect, although it is
more annoying than dramatic. Indeed,
the plot is massively implausible and the characterizations are thin. It is fast-moving formula with no depth, on
a par with Law and Order TV shows.
It is entertaining and keeps your curiosity up, even if Boxer is not a
particularly interesting heroine.
The audiobook is performed by
Carolyn McCormick, who does the text justice in helping the keep the characters
separate and with consistent accents throughout the book. It is an easy listen.

Aer Lingus cabin crew call off strikes next week
Move follows eight hours of talks.A formal recommendation will be issued today.
Cabin crew at Aer Lingus have called off strikes planned for next Monday and Wednesday.
Cabin crew at Aer Lingus have called off strikes planned for next Monday and Wednesday.
The move followed around 8 hours of talks at the Labour Court.
It was estimated that 35,000 people each day would have been affected had the strikes gone ahead.
The trade union Impact indicated that sufficient progress had been made to allow for the work stoppages to be called off.
The Labour Court is expected to issue a recommendation tomorrow on the row between cabin crew and management at the airline over roster s.
A strike late last month by cabin crew distrupted the travel plans of 28,000 passengers and cost Aer Lingus an estimated €10 million.
Informed sources said that the Labour Court recommendation was likely to include provision for the introduction on a trial basis of the fixed roster involving five days on duty followed by three days off.
In a statement the union said: "The cabin crew branch of Impact has agreed to defer next week's strike action at Aer Lingus following progress during a Labour Court engagement today."
In a bulletin notice to members , cabin crew branch chair Angela McNeela said that its executive had agreed, following a request from the Labour Court, that the strike action planned next week would be deferred to allow consideration of an interim recommendation.
The union said that the branch committee's decision was based on an assessment that sufficient progress had been made today during the engagement with the Labour Court.
Cabin crew at the airline had contended that existing rosters were erratic, exhausting and caused with their family lives.
Earlier yesterday Aer Lingus had called on the union to call off the planned strikes and said that its customers did not deserve to be held to ransom.
At the weekend Aer Lingus chief executive Christoph Mueller warned staff that their job security and working conditions were being damaged every day the company is hit by strike action.
In a letter sent to the airline's 4,000 employees in the wake of the announcement of two 24-hour work stoppages planned for next week, he said they enjoyed some of the best working conditions and employment security in Ireland and in the aviation industry internationally. He said staff should understand "the irrevocable consequences of another strike".
He said there was potential to create a further 150 new jobs at the airline for next year if there was industrial peace and certainty around resource planning.

NO, I am NOT actually going to kill two birds with one stone. I don't even think I could do that. Anyway, what I mean is, I'm going to get these two blog contest entries over with in one!
First one is for The Magic Attic's Once Upon a Time Giveaway.
What is my favorite Steampunk novel?Okay, I admit it, I had no clue what Steampunk books were. Then I looked it up and found out they are novels with futurtisic stuff set in the past. And I will go with Girl in the Steal Corset. :D
What are your thoughts on steampunk in general?Different type of book. Unique, and they sound great.
Are there any authors you would like to see try their hand at writing steampunk?
Julie Kagawa definiately. And Lauren Kate and Becca Fitzpatrick. I love them!
Are there any steampunk books being released that you're especially excited about?
The Clockwork Prince. I have yet to read the Clockwork Angel, but my friend has it and I hope to borrow it sometime (after i get through all the books I have to read right now). :D
The Clockwork Prince. I have yet to read the Clockwork Angel, but my friend has it and I hope to borrow it sometime (after i get through all the books I have to read right now). :D
Second one is for the Book Breather (Note for you: your banner is kinda creepy. Just saying). Anyway, on to the questions!
Who is your favorite contemporary author?I've only read a few contemporary novels, but my favorite author is Susane Colasanti.
What is your favorite contemporary book?
Susane Colasanti's novel Waiting for You.
Who is your favorite contemporary character?
Hmm....this one is kinda hard. Marisa from Waiting for You. I just can't recall any other character except her. :D
What do you love most about contemporary books?
That they are about real life situations that could happen, and that in the end, the girl usually gets her guy. :D
Now, I suggest you head over to both of their sites, enter their giveaways (T.M.A.'s ends in 3 days!), and answer the questions yourself.

Teak coffee tables are, quite simply, the best.
This is a well-known fact, as with any timber,
Its dense, oily nature means it has a very low moisture uptake
over time the teak will age and assume that silver-grey patina
there is nothing like the look and feel of a brand new hand crafted teak dining set
or bench with that beautiful honey coloured lustre and smoothed appeal.
Availability date:
The richmond teak side table is ideal to match with the full range of kingdom teak garden benches, comes with a bottom shelf for extra storage
Teak Side Table dimensions:
Width: 50cm
Length: 50cm
Height: 45cm
The teak square coffee table is an ideal partner for our teak bench chairs & benches. This table has legs that can be removed easily for convenient storage.
• Our tabletops incorporate narrow slats, which complement the vertical slats of our chairs, benches and loungers
• Versatile, can be used in conjunction with other teak garden furniture
• Solid brass, flush fittings
• This table has removable legs for easy storage
• All square coffee tables are polished to a smooth finish
• Timeless design
• Structural joints are dowelled and glued with furniture adhesive for a lifetime of vigorous outdoor wear.

Rural Landscapes: Society, Environment, History is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to landscape research and interdisciplinary communication. Rural Landscapes aims to be a leading academic forum for the blending, contrasting and bridging of contemporary and historical landscape studies that engage with environmental and societal perspectives on rural landscapes in all parts of the world.
The journal accepts contributions from a broad range of research fields, such as historical ecology, political ecology, rural development, landscape ecology, palaeo-ecology, archaeology, anthropology, sociology, history, agriculture, forestry and geography.
Later this year, on 27th November 2019, we celebrate five years of communicating landscape research across disciplines. I like to thank all who have contributed as editors, reviewers and authors since the launch of the journal. I am particularly happy with the quality of the peer-review comments that we have received on submitted manuscripts. Many authors have specifically highlighted the value of the dedicated and insightful peer-review they received. I am also glad to see that the articles we have published are gaining attention and citations.
Proposals for themed collections of articles (special issues) are also very welcome. Should you have a suggested theme, conference proceedings, or existing collection of research output, then please get in touch. Themes can have a wide or narrow focus, and an advantage with publishing themed collections with us is that they can include articles from different disciplines (using different writing styles) as long as they fit with the focus and scope of the journal.

Help with English if it isn't your first language
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
The Community Learning and Home School Partnership offer a range of learning opportunities for adults and families whose first language is not English, to help build the skills and confidence necessary to enable them to lead a full and independent life in the UK.
ESOL classes
All the learners have their own learning goals and programmes are designed to help with a range of everyday challenges from shopping; basic conversation to supporting their child's learning or helping with their job.
Initially a member of the Community Learning team will meet individually with the learner to look at the individuals needs in terms of both learning goals (what they want to achieve) and accessibility to decide which class provides the best fit for the individual.
Classes are free of charge, open to people who are living in South Lanarkshire and take place across the area both during the daytime and in the evening.
ESOL clubs
The ESOL clubs provide learners with additional, social opportunities in which to enhance and practice their English language skills.
The clubs meet monthly. A planned programme of speakers and topics allow learners to find out how to access local services and activities and promotes their independence in the community.
To find out if there is a club operating in your area contact your local office at the numbers below.
ESOL Family Project
The ESOL Family Project is a special programme that aims to support families whose first language is not English.
Mums and Dads of new primary one children are invited along with their children to take part in a range of fun, activities that help support what the children are learning at school. This holistic approach has proved highly successful in supporting families and making them more confident in communicating with their children's school.
Currently the family project runs in the Hamilton and Cambuslang / Rutherglen areas. To find out what's on in your area visit our website or contact your local team.The Community Learning Service offers English courses for people from other countries.

Every year, over a million students drop out of high school. They may complete their graduate equivalency degrees, but then they discover they're still struggling to get good jobs. For some in Indianapolis, there's another option: a night school program that will get them their full high school diploma - if they can complete a tough curriculum that includes algebra and biology. NIGHT SCHOOL is an intimate look at a year in the lives of three students: a single father trying to make abetter life for his young daughter, an older woman looking to complete the schooling she abandoned almost 40 years before, and a young woman who needs her diploma to enroll in nursing school.

Lamborghini Wins the Innovation Award at the JEC Composites 2016
The award recognized the new carbon fiber package created for theLamborghini Huracán. The award was handed to Luciano de Oto, Head of theACRC Department, for the "Combination of C-SMC and the patented applicationfor Automotive A-class Components". The Carbon Package, available as anoption to Lamborghini Huracán clients, features many components made inforged composite, such as handles, air intakes, central tunnel cladding, and someother details of the cockpit.
Forged composite is a material developed thanks to a technology named C-SMC(Carbon-Sheet Moulded Compound), which allows Lamborghini to obtain A-classsurfaces out of C-SMC materials through a patented process. Among the manyadvantages is its suitability for high volume production, lower manufacturingcosts, and more freedom in geometries than traditional technologies.
Developed in 2010 for the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento project, the forgedcomposite then was limited to structural application; now it will be extended tointernal applications for its innovative aesthetical appearance. Lamborghini'sconstant striving for innovation has overcome the textural limitations of moretraditional carbon fiber weaving, which is already widely employed in automotivecomponents.
The carbon package is available on demand for clients acquiring the Lamborghini Huracán.

Baton Rouge will have a new source for digital and print news this fall as NOLA Media Group will open a new bureau in downtown Baton Rouge, the company announced Thursday. With this move, NOLA Media Group seeks to expand and improve news, sports and entertainment coverage in the Baton Rouge area.
A customized Baton Rouge version of the NOLA.com website and a Baton Rouge edition of The Times-Picayune, as well as targeted home delivery in the Baton Rouge metro area will be in place by the end of the year, said Ricky Mathews, NOLA Media Group president. The company will also make available for purchase in Baton Rouge the new "Black and Gold Extra" publication to be printed after Saints games on days The Times-Picayune doesn't publish a print edition. The Black and Gold Extra launches Oct. 1 with complete coverage of the Saints game against the Green Bay Packers and other NFL coverage.
"In areas of state politics and LSU sports, we have a long-established media presence in Baton Rouge," Mathews said. "Many in Baton Rouge also follow our award-winning coverage of the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Hornets. And since Hurricane Katrina, the cultural and commercial connections between our sister cities have grown even stronger."
"With this commitment, we are hiring Baton Rouge-based reporters in the areas of politics, entertainment, local news and high school and college sports," said Times-Picayune Editor Jim Amoss. " NOLA.com is the number one news site in Louisiana. We are determined to enhance our coverage for the benefit of Baton Rouge and New Orleans area readers, online and in print, and for many more digital readers around the state."
Carlos Sanchez will head up the news team in Baton Rouge as managing editor. Sanchez is a 30-year veteran of newspaper and online journalism, including four years as political editor for the Austin American-Statesman, and 10 years as the executive editor of the Waco Tribune-Herald.
Andrew Perry will manage a new sales team in Baton Rouge. He previously served as online director for the Louisiana Press Association, the trade organization for the state's newspapers and their companion web sites. Perry helped newspapers develop their digital presence, and handled marketing and branding strategies for member papers. He is a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge and a graduate of LSU.
"We know that Andrew has the sales experience, the in-depth knowledge of the Baton Rouge market and the vision to lead a successful sales effort in the market," said Mark Rose, vice president of digital solutions for NOLA Media Group. "We look forward to working with Baton Rouge businesses to innovate their digital efforts, and target a local audience with their advertising messages."
With this new long-term commitment, the NOLA Media Group will dedicate a substantial team to news and advertising sales in the Baton Rouge area, with 16 based in the downtown Baton Rouge office.
In addition, Baton Rouge readers will find a customized homepage and online experience at NOLA.com, with a home page branded for Baton Rouge and content tailored to the city and its interests. Baton Rouge businesses and advertisers also will have a new, targeted way to reach consumers online and in print.
"Baton Rouge is a significant market for us,'' Mathews said. "Even as we redouble our commitment to be the most comprehensive, in-depth, real-time news operation in the greater New Orleans area, we are reaching out to improve our offerings in Baton Rouge and beyond. Increasing coverage of state government and our elected leaders as well as sports and entertainment demonstrates our passion for providing news and information in the areas that are integral to the lives of people in our state, no matter where they live."
NOLA Media Group is a new company launching on Oct. 1, 2012, combining the reach and journalistic resources of The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com into a single digitally-focused media company.

Title: Sparrow
Author: L.J. Shen
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Mafia
Release Date: March 8, 2016
Troy Brennan.
Every southie in Boston knows that name. The son of a dead mobster. The heartthrob with steel blue eyes. "The Fixer" who can make or break you in this city.
Oh, and my new husband.
Sparrow Raynes.
No one seemed to remember my name up until he barged into my life. And me? All I ever wanted was to get a decent job and to run away from the damn neighborhood Brennan and I grew up in. Run away from him and his likes.
I have dreams, big ones, but I doubt he'd ever let me chase them. I have no idea why Brennan, practically Bostonian royalty, decided to kidnap me, marry me and cage me in his beautiful penthouse.
But I do know this: pissing off this man will not do me any good. At all.
Warning: This book contains graphic violence and adult situations some may find offensive.
Julia's Thoughts
This Is the first book I have read by the author and I really enjoyed it. I am a huge fan of organized crime/ mafia romance, and I have to say I am going to check out the authors other books, that's for sure. So the book starts out where Sparrow and Troy are getting married. But it's not your typical wedding, you see it's an arranged one. Out of the blue Troy walks in and demands her hand, while sparrow on the other hand thinks why her? He doesn't love her, and when they knew each other as kids he would not give her a second glance. She knows something is up. Troy I had a hard time liking. He was the typical lone wolf, being the son of a mobster. After his fathers death, he makes a list of who was involved in his dad's murder. But the way he treated Sparrow in the beginning was a hard pill to swallow. But little by little he slowly fell in love, and that scared him. Troy is the type of guy that doesn't know how to love or wants it. But when Sparrow walks into his life his world changes on its axis. I really liked Sparrow's character. She was tough as nails, and that's how I found this story really unique. She has been through so much, her childhood was a mess. A dad who is drunk all the time and a mom who left them at age three. But she stood up and kept her head held high. The chemistry these two had was off the walls. Between there love/ hate banter the sexy scenes were very steamy. So many twists and turns. Who can Sparrow Trust? Why did Troy ask for her hand in marriage? And most of all will Troy and Sparrow have a happy ending, or will their marriage go down in flames? Read to find out! *Recieved an arc, in exchange for an honest review.*

Slow Runners, Take HeartRunning at slower speeds, even five minutes daily, may extend life.
If your running pace just isn't what it used to be — or you have always been a snail's pace runner — don't beat yourself up.
Running at a somewhat leisurely pace — and even less than an hour a week — appears to add years to your life, according to a study just published in the "Journal of the American College of Cardiology".
The findings can be put to practical use by most people, the researchers say, even those with heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation.
Current U.S. guidelines for physical activity advise a minimum of 75 minutes a week of running or other vigorous intensity workout. That, or 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, on most days of the week.
"We found benefits even below that recommendation," says D.C. (Duck-chul) Lee, PhD, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Iowa State University, who led the study.
"Thirty to 60 minutes a week might be good enough for reducing the risk of death," he says. That translates to just five or 10 minutes a day. Running just one to two times a week or less than six miles was enough to boost longevity, compared to not running.
Running the Numbers
Even better, you don't have to break speed records. The study followed more than 55,000 adults (some runners, some not) ages 18 to 100 over a 15-year period. Those who ran at speeds less than six miles an hour (a 10-minute mile) still had lower rates of death from any cause and from stroke or heart disease than the non-runners.
Other findings:
- 30 percent lower risk of death from any cause for runners compared to non-runners.
- 45 percent lower risk of death from stroke or heart disease for runners compared to non-runners.
- Three years gain in life expectancy for runners over non-runners.
- Among runners, no substantial differences in longevity were found regardless of mileage, speed or frequency.
- Longevity benefits held for runners compared to non-runners even after Lee factored in being overweight, smoking, drinking habits and having health problems.
Persistence paid added benefits, Lee found. Those who had run an average of about six years had the best longevity benefit. They reduced their risk of death from all causes about the same as all runners — 29 percent — but slashed their risk of death from stroke or heart disease by 50 percent, compared to non-runners.
The data comes from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. Those enrolled completed questionnaires about their running habits. About one in four were runners. During the follow up, 3,413 people died, and 1,217 of those deaths were linked to cardiovascular causes.
RELATED: Dr. Dean Ornish: Turn Back the Clock on Heart Disease
The researchers found a link, not cause and effect, between running and longevity. So they can't say for sure it was the running. However, the runners had 30 percent higher cardio-respiratory fitness than non-runners — and better heart and lung function predicts a longer life.
Of course, Lee says, there's a possibility that healthy people may be more likely to run. But the life expectancy benefits were found in both healthy and not-as-healthy runners, such as the overweight runners.
Take-Home Points on Running for Your Heart's Health
"I think it's surprising to see that reduction," says Michael Emery, MD, a cardiologist in Greenville, S.C., and co-chair of the American College of Cardiology Sports and Exercise Cardiology Section. He reviewed the findings.
It's important, he says, to remember that the study refers to running, not walking, at least at a moderate pace, to reap the benefits.
While the study did not focus on those with heart issues, and in fact excluded those who had had heart attacks or strokes, the findings are still useful for them, says Carl (Chip) Lavie, MD. He is a study co-author and medical director of cardiac rehabilitation and preventive cardiology at the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute, Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans.
For runners with atrial fibrillation, which boosts stroke risk, the study findings suggest that ''running less would be better than running more," he says. Other studies have found that high-intensity exercise increases the risk of atrial fibrillation two times or more, he says.
Having atrial fibrillation doesn't rule out fast walking or slow running, he says, as long as the condition is under control and the patient's doctor gives the go-ahead.
The study findings may also motivate those with heart problems who aren't active, but should be, Lavie says.
Among the unanswered questions, Lee says, is the ''sweet spot,'' the optimal threshold if you're running to add years to your life. "We don't know yet."
If it's longevity you're after, however, the study does suggest that getting in a run is much more important than fretting about speed, frequency or mileage. Run at a comfortable pace, a convenient time, and choose a distance you have time to squeeze into your day.


text: A strong, thoughtful first novel that hews to time-honored fiction traditions, rooting a voyage of personal discovery in beautifully rendered particulars of character and place. We don—t know exactly what kind of trouble 20-year-old Harley Altmyer is in when the story begins with him being interrogated by police officers, but we quickly learn that he's seen plenty of bad times already. It's been two years since his mother went to jail for shooting his father, and two now dead-end jobs are barely enough to support Harley and his three younger sisters in a dying western Pennsylvania town poisoned and abandoned by the coal industry. Sixteen-year-old Amber screws every guy in sight, daring Harley to do anything about it. Twelve-year-old Misty, favorite of their deceased father—which means he beat her more than he did the other three'seems not to care about anything. Six-year-old Jody writes notes to herself (—FEED DINUSORS/ EAT BREKFIST—) and keeps secrets she's not quite aware she possesses. Harley keeps his court-mandated appointments with a psychiatrist, but resists her efforts to make him open up. Smart and sharply funny though he is—hardly anyone catches his irony—Harley is trapped in the man's role he knows is a crock but can—t let go. O—Dell does an impressive job of getting inside the head of a member of the opposite sex, creating a first-person narration of painful veracity as Harley rants against his mother and defends his father (—He didn—t like his job, but he went to it every day . . . . He was a flesh-and-blood man who couldn—t stand it if you spilled something—). The dysfunctional dynamics of a family scarred by domestic violence and incestuous longings lead to some luridly melodramatic twists, but the author's compassion and love for her characters shine throughout. When O—Dell's plotting achieves the maturity of her character development, she's going to write a really extraordinary novel. This one is pretty darn good. (Book-of-the-Month Club main selection)

What is catheter embolization?
Embolization therapy is a minimally invasive (non-surgical) treatment that occludes or blocks one or more blood vessels or vascular channels of malformations (abnormalities) such as:
During a catheter embolization procedure, an embolic material (often composed of tiny particles or beads made from a biomedical polymer) is injected into selected vessels to block the blood flow feeding the tumor or malformation, causing it to shrink over time. Embolization is commonly used to treat a number of conditions, including:
What are the benefits of embolization therapy?
Embolization therapy is carried out by an interventional radiologist and can offer many benefits over traditional surgical treatments, including:
How should I prepare for the procedure?
Before your embolization procedure, you will probably have a sample of blood taken either at the hospital or at a local clinic. Your blood will be tested to check that it clots normally and that there are no problems with your kidneys. At this stage, you should also make sure you tell your doctor about:
Your doctor will also answer any queries you have regarding the procedure and tell you about any special preparations you need to make, such as changes to your medications. You will probably also be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the procedure. When you arrive at the hospital, you will be examined by your interventional radiologist before the procedure begins.
How does embolization work?
The interventional radiologist uses specialist X-ray equipment that allows him/her to see very clear images of your blood vessels on a monitor. The vessels are made more visible by injecting a special liquid, called contrast, which shows up very clearly on the X-ray images. The interventional radiologist inserts a catheter (a long, thin, hollow flexible plastic tube) inside the vessel that leads to the area to be treated. Once the catheter is in the correct location, the embolic material is injected through it until the vessels feeding or making up the malformation are blocked.
How is embolization procedure performed?
The procedure usually takes place in a special room in the hospital called an interventional radiology suite. Sometimes, it is performed in an operating room. In either case, the specialist imaging equipment and monitors will be in the room. Before the procedure, you are placed on the examining table and may be connected to equipment that will monitor your vital signs (pulse, heart rate, blood pressure) during the embolization. Your interventional radiologist may also want to obtain some X-ray images before the procedure starts. A flexible tube called an intravenous (IV) line is inserted into a vein in your arm or your hand. This is used to deliver the drugs which will sedate you during the procedure so that you don't feel any pain, or you may have a general anesthetic.
The catheter is usually inserted in the groin area and fed through the vessels to the area to be treated. The insertion site will be shaved and sterilized and covered with a drape before a very small cut is made to allow the catheter to be passed into your body. Using the special imaging equipment to view the route through your vessels to the area to be treated, the interventional radiologist advances the catheter to the correct location. One end of the catheter always remains outside the body. The contrast medium is then injected through the catheter and detailed images are taken to give the interventional radiologist a very clear picture of the area to be treated and the position and shape of the vessels feeding the malformation.
The embolic material is then injected through the catheter to the target area. When the interventional radiologist believes the embolization is complete, more contrast medium will be injected and images taken to check the blood flow to the malformation has been effectively blocked. The catheter is removed and pressure is applied to the catheter entry site to stop it bleeding before a small dressing is applied. It is such a small cut that it does not require any stitches. Your intravenous line will be removed, but the site where it was connected in your hand or arm may be left accessible with a short tube in case it is required for medication during your recovery.
You will be moved from the suite or operating room to a recovery area, where your vital signs will continue to be monitored.
What will I experience after the procedure?
The most common side-effect of embolization is a condition called 'post-embolization syndrome' or PES. Patients may feel nauseous and most feel some degree of pain in the area that has been embolized. These symptoms are very normal and can be managed by medication which will be given to you orally (by mouth) or intravenously (through an IV line into your hand or arm). Your doctor will want to make sure you are comfortable before you leave the hospital. Most patients feel well enough to go home within 24 hours of the procedure and are able to resume their normal day-to-day activities within 7-10 days.

United Nations Bans Female Genital Mutilation
United Nations Bans Female Genital Mutilation
The United Nations General Assembly today passed unanimously a resolution banning the practice of Female Genital Mutilation. This significant milestone towards the ending of harmful practices and violations that constitute serious threat to the health of women and girls was taken by the 194 UN Member States, who approved five General Assembly resolutions today on advancing women's rights, including one on intensifying global efforts for the elimination of female genital mutilations (FGM).
Female Genital Mutilation affects about 100-140 million women and girls worldwide, and each year it is estimated that an additional three million girls are at risk of being subjected to the practice globally.
"This is a very important step to bringing about cultural and attitudinal change. Just as important though, is working on the ground with governments, communities and other partners to end FGM. UN Women's experience in Burkina Faso, Benin and other countries shows that while efforts to criminalize FGM are vital, they need to be backed up with services for victims, engaging key influencers and supporting community-based activities to change social norms, as well as practical actions to bring perpetrators to justice," said John Hendra, UN Women Assistant-Secretary General and Deputy Executive Director.

A finely hewn portrait of the wizard Merlin from the 12th to the 16th centuries, when, in the eyes of the times, he was very much a real historical personage.
In the early years of the 12th century, Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote a book known as the History of the Kings of Britain. It was a hoax, but it was a book very much of its time, a huge best-seller, writes Lawrence-Mathers (Medieval History/Univ. of Reading) in this deeply satisfying survey of the famed magician. The author discusses Geoffrey and the other contemporary or near-contemporary historians at work, and she notes that one of the things that gave Geoffrey's book such instant popularity was the fact that the emerging political entity known as Britain needed a history with substance, lineage and heroes, something to shore up its many dynastic insecurities. Merlin was just the man to deliver: an omniscient magician yet fallible and vulnerable, reader of the stars and the flights of birds, and, most of all, a prophet. Yet Merlin was a figment of Geoffrey's imagination. He was not a figure at court, but arrived when needed; there is no intimation he was bedecked in pointed cap and astrological robes, but lived simply in near hermitlike circumstances deep in the woods. Thanks to Geoffrey's book, Merlin became a fixture in the popular, theological, political and romantic imagination. He was the right man in the right place, and other historians tapped into his popularity to buttress their work; his deeds didn't stop with Geoffrey, but were embellished for another 400 years. Out of Merlin and his many gifts and prophesies, Geoffrey et al. made a history of a place, and there also emerged a dangerous theological and political edge comprised of fusing the magical tradition of the ancient world, the early Christian Church and the Celtic past. Lawrence-Mathers nimbly brings readers into the Middle Ages, during which most people believed in prophecy and magic as real, active things, when the Merlins of the world surely walked the land and saw what most did not.
Sharp and enchanting.

Users stand by NetApp -- For now
Users say their view of NetApp and its products hasn't been affected by news of a revenue shortfall, but some say the clock is ticking on new product features they'd like to see.
In the wake of a report by Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) yesterday that it will miss its financial goals for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2008 by a significant amount, users say they're not ready to make any judgments about the company long term. However, they said NetApp could increase its business by getting new products and features delivered faster or bundled differently.
According to NetApp officials in a conference call yesterday, the company has been focused on relatively few large enterprise accounts in the U.S. and Europe, and those accounts showed spending slowdowns in the April through June quarter. CEO Dan Warmenhoven said the company would be working to expand its customer base, but also said that higher storage capacities per unit with newer products mean storage purchases are happening less often among the company's existing customers.
This analysis jibes with several large enterprise NetApp customers, though each gave different reasons for their spending slowdowns.
According to Peter Amstutz, chief of network design for Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), which manages contracts for the U.S. Department of Defense, his business has similar patterns. "We tend to hold capital equipment money in case of labor shortfalls and spend it if it's available in the last quarter of the fiscal year," he said.
This matches another point made by NetApp, which was that it mistakenly took record bookings in April, around the end of the fiscal year, for a sign that spending was rebounding.
However, users also said the way they're managing their storage is having an effect on spending patterns. "We're getting much more aggressive about reclaiming allocated but unused capacity," Israel said. Perhaps ironically, the company is tracking its storage utilization with internal NetApp tools.
This also echoes what some 680 storage managers said in Storage magazine's most recent Purchasing Intentions survey done in March, 2007. According the respondents, storage buyers are adding the same amount of capacity this year as last year, the first time in five years that no increase was seen, and focusing more on building out existing arrays with more drives than on buying new frames.
The nature of newer storage products in general is also hurting NetApp's ability to sell one application service provider in the Midwest whose director of operations asked to remain unnamed because of legal policies prohibiting him from being named in the press.
"Two years ago we were buying 24 terabyte [TB] units," he said. "The last one we bought was a 156 TB unit. With a product that size, we're probably not going to need to purchase more capacity until the first [calendar] quarter of next year."
Users urge speed with development of new products, features
According to a storage manager for a large financial company, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak with the press, his company and other large enterprise counterparts he's compared notes with have been waiting on the delivery of new midrange storage systems from NetApp, a product he said has been dubbed the 2000 series that will be a replacement for the FAS270.
"People might be waiting for those products, which have big advantages over the 270 for remote and branch offices in large companies," the user said.
The user has received test units of the new products that include a 2020 and 2050 model. The product is more compact than the 270, at 2U for the 2050 and 4U for the 2050. It also has updated Intel 86 processors, more memory and faster drives than the 270, as well as remote management built in, which has been a "big issue" with managing the 270 at remote sites, he said.
NetApp would neither confirm nor deny that the product is in existence. "It's already shipping, they released it beginning in July," according to the user.
He added that he'd like to see NetApp hurry up its delivery of SAS disk shelves for its arrays.
According to Amstutz, NetApp "has about a year to get it right" with data deduplication for some 384 TB of disk-based backup his agency has in place. He is strongly opposed to post-process data deduplication, saying it won't be a cost savings if he still has to lay every piece of data down on disk before deduping. "We have enough capacity to get by without it right now since we're on a three-year technology cycle," he said. "But it's going to be a big factor at our contract renewal."
Finally, the director of operations for the Midwestern application service provider said he'd like to see a different delivery pattern for NetApp's products altogether. "They want to be a software company, but that means that with every little piece of functionality, they want to charge a hefty amount of money for it. I might be more interested if they packaged or embedded more functionality into their products rather than buying it onesie twosie -- they could even jack up the base price a little bit. I'd be willing to pay a little more to have more features included."
Users will watch market share
Generally, users said they aren't ready to make any adjustments to their outlook about the company just yet. "[Financial reports] don't particularly concern me unless it's a continuous trend and I see them losing market share," according to Amstutz.
Market share was the metric for evaluation cited by most of the users who said they would become concerned if it seemed like NetApp was acquiring a bad reputation in the industry and losing accounts. So far, according to NetApp's report, that has not been the case.
As for the long view, the jury remains out. Some Wall Street analysts reacting to the earnings outlook did express concern that these problems could be a long-term issue for the company, citing the fact that spending slowdowns did not seem to effect rivals EMC Corp. and IBM. Shares in the company were down from $28.71 at the close of the market Thursday night to $23.02 in trading on Friday.
Storage analysts, meanwhile, are less concerned. "EMC's storage growth was 12% year over year in the same period that NetApp just reported, 1% above NetApp," pointed out Brian Babineau, analyst for the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) in an email to SearchStorage.com.

As I mentioned in last week's blog I planned to get away for a few days and that's exactly what I did. I'd mulled over going up to Islay in the Inner Hebrides for the week. However, I decided that in the end it was too far to go for the time I had available and that possibly the week's weather forecast wasn't favourable for north west Scotland.
In the end I decided to go up to Northumberland and I have to say it turned out to be a good choice. Although very windy at times it was bright and sunny for the week. Superb. I seemed to pack quite a bit in, so writing this seems as though it's much more than a week ago since I did my last blog.
I stayed at Rock Farmhouse B&B in the little village of Rock just north of Alnwick. It proved a perfect base. I arrived Monday night, so Tuesday was my first full day which I used to visit Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle. So I did get to go to an island in the end. Holy Island is reached by a road causeway which is only passable at low tide and I made sure I was over well before the 10:45am cut off for that morning as I had a picture in mind that I wanted to get. I'd seen a few pictures of Lindisfarne Castle, one of which was on the front of my OS map that inspired me to try for a similar shot.
The particular shot was taken at low tide but was either taken late afternoon or early evening. Anyway, I had the rich autumn morning light which was perfect and just made the picture view point with enough tide time to get my shots along with some competition from a group of photographers who were there on an organised photography holiday.
Lindisfarne Castle
Of course, once you are on the island at high tide you are there for the day, so I got to have a good wander around taking in the landscape and wildlife on this wild exposed Northumbrian coast. I particularly enjoyed getting up close to a group of Eider ducks taking shelter below the harbour wall opposite the castle. These sea ducks are known for being quite tame birds which allowed me to get some shots from the harbour side. The male birds have stunning plumage made all the better in the sunlight. For some tech info on the duck pictures I used my 1.7x converter on my 80-200 zoom. That on my D2xs gives me around a 500mm lens.
Eider ducks
Wednesday, I came down the coast a bit to take in Bamburgh Castle and the fantastic beach it over looks. Another beautiful morning, fantastic light and a strong off shore winds made for an invigorating day along the shoreline. The beach is superb to walk along and reached after passing through the maraam grass clad dunes that characterise this area. It's just wild open space under big skies.
The Farne Islands can be clearly seen from the beach here. They are famed for their birdlife, particularly the Puffins and Turns that nest there during the summer. I'm sure you have seen many a TV wildlife presenter getting dive bombed and pecked by the Turns as they protect their territories.
Drove a short way up the coast in the afternoon to take a walk along another superb section of beach. Had it to myself with views to Bamburgh to the south and Holy Island to the north. If anything this beach was even better than the beach I experienced in the morning.
Bamburgh Castle
Thursday I decided to have a look at Craster, a small fishing village famed for its kippers. The smoke house is just above the harbour and you can look in to see how it's all done. The fresh kippers by the way are excellent. Just as I arrived in Craster there was a short heavy rain shower that produced a superb rainbow over the village.
Just managed to get round the harbour wall to grab a couple of shots before the rainbow faded and I had to take shelter. The rain didn't last long and for the rest of the day I was back under the big blue skies I'd had all week. Took a walk from the village along to the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle about a mile or so up the coast. Watched Eider ducks diving just off shore and Oystercatcher and Redshank feeding along the shore line.
In the afternoon I drove down to Warkworth and took a few shots of it's castle from the inlet that runs up from Amble. The light was superb once again. It's was also an area I was trying to work out where the coastal caravan site was where we'd had a couple of family holidays when I was younger. Must have been nearly 30 years ago. Frightening! Didn't quite figure it out so will have to ask mum and dad for a bit more info there.
Friday and time to start heading back home. Another beautiful morning and decided to head towards Carlisle along the A69. It was my intention to try and have a look at the Solway coastline but I saw the signs for Hadrian's Wall and my plans changed. I'd always wanted to see the section of Hadrian's Wall that's always used on the postcards and in the tourist information leaflets. You know the one where the wall snakes and undulates over the rugged Northumbrian landscape as far as you can see.
I couldn't remember the section name so I thought I'd find an information point just off my route and see how close I was to getting to my desired location. As luck would have it I saw the signs for the Northumberland National Park Information Centre so turned off the A69 and headed up the two miles or so of narrow lane to ask there. The centre was closed, but fortunately there were a couple of people in the rangers' building who I was able to ask.
I couldn't believe how close I was. "Straight up to the junction here, straight across the dogleg junction and up the hill to the car park at Steel Rigg. You will get fantastic views from there." I was told. It was a mile and a half max. Brilliant. I parked up and got my cameras together and headed east along the footpath that runs by the Wall. It had been cold over night and there was still frost and frozen puddles along the footpath. At first I thought perhaps I was still not along the right section but after about a mile the picture I was after came in to view.
Hadrian's Wall
The Wall dipped and rose over the craggy escarpment and the ruins of Milecastle 39 lay in the dip. Superb. It's incredible to imagine how the Wall would have been constructed with it's Forts and Milecastles in this wild open landscape. It's definitely worth the walk to see. I continue further and if anything you get an even better appreciation of this Roman construction marvel.
Drove towards Carlisle and picked up the M6 to get on the way back home. Dropped in to Sizurgh Barn near Kendal on the way back. You can watch the cows being milked while you sit in the tea rooms above the milking parlour.
Saturday I ventured out on the bike, and put in 53 miles. Weather was a bit damp and drizzly at times. Sunday I met up with Simon, Steve and Mark for a run out to Hartington. Did a different route from last weekend which added another few miles. 65 miles in total. The weather was kind and after a few spits of rain early on it improved as the morning went on. A nice finish to a memorable week.
Back to it now. I've got a few things to get done this week including a Rides story to complete and I'll go to Revolution 18 at the weekend.
That's it for now. Catch up in a week.

Perfectly said Es! I love you and will definitely see you around!!! Sending positive virtual vibes and best wishes your way!!!! <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for being there for me Dani. You have been such a great friend:)Delete
:[ I know a lot of bloggers feel/felt the same way, myself included. Hope to see you around and your posts when things get better for your polish passion! I'll be thinking of you <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. Great job pushing through those feelings and continuing to blog. It takes a lot of effort! Thanks again:)Delete
I think we all have hit that "overwhelmed" point somewhere along the line. I'm there right now as well. It's all about doing what makes you happy :) Hugs!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for understanding. I am glad I'm not alone!Delete
Essie, I will miss your posts, but I totally understand how pressure to get out perfect swatches quickly can make nail blogging feel like more of a job! At the end of the day, you don't want to lose your passion for nails as a hobby, so you are doing the right thing!ReplyDelete
Hope to see you around, and all the best wishes! <3 CaitReplies
Oh you will sure see me around your blog. I continue to be amazed by your skills:) Thanks for being a friend!Delete
nooo :( I really love your posts :( sad to see you go! goodluck in your decisions xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the support! I may be back ;)Delete
As so many have already said I think we all get that feeling from time to time. For what it's worth I've loved your blog and even more so getting to know a little of you. I'm glad you're able to do what's best for you and I hope to see you around when/if it gets fun again. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for reading my blog. I truly appreciate it! I painted my nails last night FOR FUN and it was awesome ;)Delete
I'm so sorry that you're feeling so much pressure hun! Will still be here to support you!!! I hope your break will help you get some R&R and you will come back refreshed and excited as before! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for being there for me:) I am hoping this break will help too!Delete
aww :( I am so sad to see you take a break. But i understand if you need it! Being overwhelmed and pressured is no fun. I do hope you return with a more laid back take on it. Do it at your leisure and pace and just have fun with it! I know it's hard to accept but if it isn't perfect then just say what the hey, and post it anyway! Trust me the people that care don't matter because there will be plenty of people that enjoy hearing from you and looking at your manis regardless if they are not "perfect"!! I promise!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I shall try....but that is very hard for me :( Thanks for the advice though! Take care.Delete
Love you sweet girl! <3 And see you later. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for everything Melissa. I've LOVED getting to know you. Give your puppies a little pat for me ;)Delete
I know the feels and bravo to being brave enough to take care of yourself!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It was a very tough decision. It took a while to finally pull the trigger. I felt like I quit a job! Thanks for reading.Delete
That's too bad Essie! But if it doesn't give you joy anymore don't force yourself - who knows maybe in a few weeks you have found new energy and can't wait to blog again! Thanks for the fun posts :).ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for reading my blog! I hope to find the passion I once had for both polish and blogging. Talk to you soon :)Delete
I will definitely miss seeing your beautiful nails and reading your posts, but I'm so happy that you've made the decision to do what's best for you. Polish should be fun for us, and once that fun stops, you know something must be wrong. I hope you find your passion again or maybe even find another passion that's fresh and exciting. I'm so glad that I've been able to *meet* you through this awesome crazy nail blogging world we're a part of. I truly hope that all the stress is lifted from you! You're the best, Essie! Don't forget that =)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot. I am happy to have met you too. See you around!Delete
Will miss you when your on this break but I hope you'll figure things out! <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lisa. You are such a supportive person in this blogging world. Keep it up!Delete
Essie you are an inspiration!! I will miss seeing your beautiful pics and posts but like the others have said, I totally understand why you need to do this. I have also had a rough time recently where I feel overwhelmed with reality and trying to keep up with my blog, I have taken a more relaxed approach and gave myself some time to refuel. I wish you every happiness in whatever you decide to do...enjoy your break and we will be waiting for your hobby self to come back! xxxxxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks and I am happy you understand. I'm sure most bloggers have points in time where they need to re-evaluate and take a breather. Great job taking a more relaxed approach. I hope I can do that some day too. Have a great day!Delete
love and hugs. I will miss you, but I respect your decision. We ALL feel like that from time to time, sometimes for longer than we'd like to, but usually something eventually makes us go Ooooooh again. I hope you find your Oooooh xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I sure do hope that I find my Oooooh again ;) You'll see me on your blog so..."see ya later" ;)Delete
Essie, when I started out a few months ago, you were there offering me a helpful hand with quite a lot of topics & I am ever so grateful.. I am where you where once feeling frustrated and inferior as I try my hardest to get followers to my blog, but.. Seeing as how you are now where you are 'burned out', perhaps I will just keep it to a hobby as you said you would like to.. I do enjoy doing my nails and getting compliments on them even though right now they are few & far between, I don't want the enjoyment to run out for me.. I still have SOOOO many polishes to try yet & I have not even gotten in to the Indie brands yet. To sum up what I am saying is that you will be missed & the words you told me will continue on in my future posts. Always thankful to you.. <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, thank you so much. I am glad I was able to help and perhaps this post helped you as well. Just remember why you started and try to stay true to that. I somehow got lost along the way. Take care and good luck with your blog ;)Delete
Hi Essie!!!! Cudos to you!!! Am so proud to have met you and become friends!!! This post and your decision reflect exactly what I always felt with you: warmhearted and considerate openness and authenticy!!! While I certainly will miss you I am still loaded with inspiration you gave me and you sustainibly formed my style in painting my nails and blogging!!!! Thank you for everything and see you round <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Christine....for everything! You have been such a great friend and I have loved getting to know you. I hope we can continue to talk through email and remain friends. Obviously, you will still see me comment on your blog:) Keep up the great work and I will talk to you soon.Delete
I totally get it and you should definitely take a break if that's what you want. This should be something fun that you do for yourself, not another obligation. We'll miss you but hope to see you back again.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for understanding and commenting - it means a lot. <3Delete
I'm proud of you, girlie :) This took some guts. I was just thinking about your introductory blog post in PaA... You're an amazing lady and I'm so happy and thankful we became friends through this hobby. You are truly a light in this community and I'm really glad you'll still be around... This just would not be the same without you :) :) ttyl :)ReplyDeleteReplies
You know, one of the hardest parts was thinking I was letting people down...especially you. You have done such an awesome job building your blog into what it is. You know I am your #1 fan and always will be. Talk to you soon...BBF ;)Delete
Essie this makes me sad :( You were the first blogger I ever got to know. But as my blog grows and I get busier I totally understand how you feel. Sometimes it does feel like work. And if blogging is a hobby that isn't how you want it to feel. I hope you decided to come back to it at some point.ReplyDeleteReplies
Awww. Thank you. You have done such an awesome job with your blog. I just saw an email this morning from Bloom.com with your mani on it! Congrats on your success...you deserve it. Thanks for your support and friendship. Talk to you soon!Delete
Oh no Essie! I love your blog posts and I remember that you were my very first comment ever on my blog. I won't ever forget how nice you were to me :) I completely understand the pressure to blog and the most important thing is to do what is right for you. If you don't enjoy it, then it's important to find something that you do enjoy. I hope you decide to come back but in the mean time, take care of yourself!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I just love your blog and your nail art is amazing. You are so talented. I only wish I could be half as good as you:) Take care!Delete
Aww Essie, I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to become friends because of blogging. I totally understand being overwhelmed. Hope you get some much needed R&R and you rediscover your love for nail polish. And you never know... one day we may see you back again on this blog. In the meantime, keep in touch! *hugs* <3ReplyDelete
~ YunReplies
Oh you haven't heard the last from me:) Thanks so much for listening to my whiny emails...it's nice to have someone to listen that knows exactly what I am going through. I honestly look up to you so much. You have such a successful blog and I know how much work you put into it....PLUS, your day job is stressful. You are an inspiration. Thanks for your friendship Yun!Delete
Thank you for those kind words, Essie. <3 Ha, I better not have heard the last from you. :P I expect to see you around often, my friend. :DDelete
I'm sad you're taking a break, but you've definitely hit a transition stage and it makes sense to back off and figure out what you want to do and where you want to go with your blog! I think most bloggers go through this at some point. Just know that you will be missed and that your readers hope you come back in some way, shape or form!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you:) You are right about hitting the transition stage. I know lots of bloggers do make this into a job and make money doing it...I am just not looking for that. I truly do want it to be an enjoyable hobby and I need to figure out how to get back to that. Thanks for understanding and commenting :)Delete
Essie, I love and support you no matter what you do. I hope that you get back to what makes you happy, blog or no blog! I look forward to talking to you in the future. I know I'll see you around!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I have enjoyed getting to know you. You are so talented with your frankens and I love seeing what you come up with. Thanks for your support! Talk to you soon.Delete
Totally understandable! Just know us readers will miss you! I hope you find your peace of mind!! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you very much. Your comment is appreciated :)Delete
Completely understand. I went through something similar recently where blogging just wasnt fun anymore. I took a month off, focused on my life and family. I completely stepped away from the nail polish community and then one day I missed it. I wrote up a quick post and found a new passion for it. I hope what ever decisions you make down the road are whats right for you and you are happy. You will be missed by many. I myself looked up to you and appreciated every piece of advice or helpful tip you gave me.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm glad you were able to find your passion again. I hope that happens for me. Blogging almost starts to consume your thoughts and life. I would love for it to be more casual. We shall see! Thanks for your comment, it means a lot.Delete
I love your pictures, so I will miss your blogging, but I completely understand. Not much fun if a hobby turns out to be work. I hope it won't take long until polishing your nails make you happy again (I'm just talking about the polish itself for now, feeling the urge to blog again will probably take a while, I guess).ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for the compliment on my pictures! I hope to find my love for it again. In the meantime, I can enjoy everyone else's blogs. Take care!Delete
Awww, Essie...it's sad to see you go! I always enjoy your posts and manis, even if I'm not one to comment very often...I really hope you find that passion back and come back. I will be waiting! ;)ReplyDelete
Best of luck to you! <3Replies
Thanks! It's awesome to know that you read my blog:) I see that people are reading the posts; but if they don't comment, I have no idea who they are:) I'll continue to enjoy your blog:)Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 11, 2013 at 8:42 AM
Good for you ! Your happiness is most important :)ReplyDelete
I hope to see you back soon, but if not, that's all good tooReplies
Thanks for understanding and for taking the time to comment! It really means a lot. Take care.Delete
I will miss your really pretty nail designs. Hopefully you will find some peace soon in body and mind..if it's meant to be and blogging helps you down the road, we will see you hear again. The little income checks most get from blogging always are nice.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I never saw any income, but I feel like that would make it feel even more like a job! While that is where some people want their blogs to be..not I:) I hope to find my place in the blogging world again. I am sure I will miss the support from all of you:) Thanks for your comment.Delete
I completely understand. You need to find you again. Sometimes we get lost in all the blogging and forget to keep us alive and well. We will miss you and your gorgeous manis! But we will also be here for you if you decide to come back. (Oh I hope you do!)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for your comment:) Have a great day!Delete
I totally understand how you feel! I also experienced blogger burn-out... Enjoy your free time, and if you come back to it, great! Maybe stick to only one platform (like Instagram) and see how that feels? Best of luck, xoxoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, perhaps I can ease back in with one platform. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your comment!Delete
Oh no, Essie... I mean I totally understand... the pressure is getting to me too, but I'm trying to go through 'good weeks' and 'bad weeks'... I will so miss your posts!!! I hope when you come back (I know you will!!!), it will be completely on your terms.. that's what blogging should be about to begin with, just fun for you, not an obligation. Will miss you, girlie!!! And your wonderful cakes!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Gosia:) I agree, it needs to be fun and it wasn't anymore. I hope I can get that back. Talk to you soon!Delete
Lovely log! I'm your new follower. I would like ou to follow me! KissesReplyDelete
Hi Essie. I've commented on your blog a few times when you used to post cakes and I think I commented on some nail posts too. Even though I'm not much of a blogger, I kind of know how you feel. I got so burnt out on Facebook that I deleted it 2 years ago and never looked back. It was sooooo "freeing" - I imagine that's probably how you're feeling right now. Hopefully, you'll get your nail polishing mojo back and just polish for you & maybe share with your friends sometime. :-) Enjoy your time off from blogging. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I know exactly how you feel about Facebook. I actually deleted my personal one in April of last year and I haven't looked back either. it was very freeing and felt kindof like this:) Thanks for understanding!Delete
Sending happy vibes your way! You've got to do what's right for you...I hope you find your happy place soon =)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. It means a lot :)Delete
Wishing you the best. Nothing worse than something you love becoming a chore. I hope your passion is rekindled and better than ever.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Take care.Delete
See you soon Es! You're definitely a big inspiration to me, and I was so excited when you shared one of my posts on your Facebook page! I hope you find your love for blogging again.. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. Your work is beautiful and I was happy to share it. Keep up the great work, I will be watching!Delete
I just realized that when I read this my comment didn't go through...stupid mobile! I'm so glad to still see you around, whenever I see your name I get a little smile going. I'll miss your lovely nail poses & hope to see them again when you're ready to come back! XOXOReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Stephanie. In the mean time, I'll visit your blog often!Delete
Just want to say that I totally understand what you are going through because I sometimes experience the same thing. Nevertheless, I do hope you come back soon, I love your swatches and nail art posts! ^^ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much! It's nice to know people understand. Take care!Delete

Miss you beautiful Essie! You are so talented and it was always fun reading your blog posts. It's great to focus on what you know in your heart is right. I wish you all the best and hope to see your awesome work again once you are ready. XOXO - bellagee :)ReplyDelete
I was so sad to read this but completely understand. I only wish I would have discovered your blog sooner but nevertheless am glad to have found you. I've enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your pics. Thank you for all the dedication and effort you put into your blog and for sharing that with us. Have a great weekend! XX, PReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for stopping by. I will continue to watch and comment on Youtube - I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do what you do!Delete
Beautiful Essie, I am so proud of you for following your heart! There's nothing like the feeling of doing something because you truly want to. What an unbelievable and amazing journey you've been on; we were the lucky ones to watch you bloom into an amazing nail blogger. I secretly hope that your passion returns, but I know that whatever you decide to put your heart into, it will be brilliant! All of the best and we hope that you'll pop in, time-to-time on Bellashoot:) Biggest hugs! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, what a nice comment. Thank you so much. I enjoyed contributing to your site and will still enjoy it even though I'm not posting. Thanks again!Delete
Take as long as a break as you need. I love your blog and if you decide to come back, I will be very happy! Decide what's best for you first!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for understanding:) Take care.Delete
I understand not wanting to continue a blog when it becomes more like a job than a hobby. Been there with my main blog...I hope you do come back to this hobby, though! ♥ Enjoy yourself!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I have been enjoying just wearing nail polish for fun and not stressing over the look of my nails and cuticles.Delete
I miss you! <3ReplyDelete
Sending happy vibes your way! You've got to do what's right for you...I hope you find your happy place soon :)ReplyDelete

Foodborne Illnesses
- Published:
- October 3, 2014
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year foodborne diseases cause an estimated 48 million illnesses every year in the United States. This includes 9.4 million caused by known pathogens.It is estimated that 55,961 hospitalizations and 1,351 deaths occur annually in the United States from foodborne illnesses, and that 31 major pathogens are primarily responsible. Those most affected are very young, elderly, immunocompromised, and underserved (as it relates to racial and ethnic populations) populations. New foodborne diseases are emerging, and increased global travel and trade broaden the opportunities and deepen the risks of contracting and spreading foodborne illness.
