Best Teen Books of 2013: Kirkus Reviews.
Books on their list that I've read:
Being Henry David, by Cal Armistead:
Being Henry David is one of those frustrating stories in which the protagonist could save himself pages and pages of torment and confusion if he'd just, you know, ask someone for help. But Armistead makes Hank's reasons for avoiding the authorities emotionally believable and logically plausible, so it's not really an issue. It is, as evidenced by my one-sitting read, an extremely compelling book, and the Thoreau quotes are woven in quite nicely: I can easily imagine this book inspiring younger readers to go and look him up.
The Sin Eater's Confession, by Ilsa J. Bick: This one, I haven't written about. It's EXCELLENT, in a punch-you-in-the-face kind of way.
Rapture Practice, by Aaron Hartzler:
There's plenty of humor—the official Kirkus review called it "hilarious," though I found it more subdued than that—but I had a lump in my throat for almost the entire 400 pages. It's written with such emotional honesty that it's impossible not to empathize with Hartzler's young self: regardless of whether he's writing about his Big Questions about God and religion or getting caught in a lie about buying the Pretty Woman soundtrack.
Dark Triumph, by Robin LeFevers:
Because Sybella is so damaged, so emotionally scarred, it's hard to engage with her at first. For the first third or so of the book, everything she feels—or at least everything she admits to feeling—towards others is either dark and violent, or tinged with self-loathing and fear. She hates and fears her family; she distrusts her abbess; she fears that if Ismae knew her true self, that she would lose their friendship. Once she starts to embrace herself, to forgive herself, and to realize that she HASN'T DONE ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES FORGIVENESS, she becomes much easier to engage with, and her fierce joy in fighting, in righting wrongs, and in Beast himself is just... profound.
Like, I felt it in my head, my heart, my gut, my toes.
September Girls, by Bennett Madison: I haven't written about this one either. Here's my nutshell reaction: It's a book that takes a lot of work and requires a lot of thought on the part of the reader, and I mean both of those things in the best possible way. It took some heat for being supposedly "anti-feminist", but I didn't read it like that AT ALL: it struck me as EXTREMELY feminist, in that it explores different aspects and pressures and issues—from commentary on broad cultural trends to more personal one-on-one to even more personal internal stuff—of the Female Condition, as it were. It's about the boxes that we put other people in, and the boxes that other people put us in, and the boxes that we put OURSELVES in. Good stuff.
A Corner of White, by Jaclyn Moriarty: Yeesh, I haven't written about this one EITHER, and I loved it! Moriarty is so fantastic at creating multiple distinct voices within one story, and this book is no exception. Also, I loved the stuff with the colors.
Midwinterblood, by Marcus Sedgwick:
And I have no idea how to write about it.
Out of the Easy, by Ruta Sepeyts:
Oh, I loved this book. As it's got the same combination of fantastically-rendered historical atmosphere—the dialogue is TO DIE FOR—and mystery elements, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it to fans of Judy Blundell's What I Saw and How I Lied.
All Our Yesterdays, by Cristin Terrill:
Terrill does a great job of writing two versions of the same characters: Future Em and Past Marina, Finn's selves and, to a lesser degree, James' past and future selves are all clearly the same people with the same personalities, but they are vastly different in terms of maturity and perspective. Which is extremely cool. Some readers are BOUND to have difficulty with the contrast between Em and Marina—Marina's everyday does-he-like-me and will-this-food-make-me-fat woes could easily come off as self-absorbed and somewhat obnoxious when compared to the high stakes Save The World backdrop of the story—but in context of story and character, Marina's issues work: she hasn't been through everything Em has, she doesn't have that perspective, and she hasn't yet developed a Steely Core.
Palace of Spies, by Sarah Zettel:
Lines like, "There is nothing so much noticed or so long remembered as a girl's gown, especially by those who are not her friends" are bound to draw comparisons to Jane Austen, but its romp-y nature puts it more in line with Georgette Heyer's Regency romances. I have no doubt whatsoever that Heyer fans—especially those who prefer her more hijinks-heavy stories—will find it similarly witty and fun and just…HAPPY MAKING.
Erin Bow's Sorrow's Knot is on the list, too, and I'm PLANNING on reading it. But I've been avoiding because I still haven't quite recovered from Plain Kate. Anyway, be sure to click on through for the whole thing, because there are a whole bunch of NON-USUAL SUSPECT titles, which is SO PLEASANT!

Right to Privacy and Tenancy Rights/
Vojnovic v Croatia, UN Doc CCPR/C/95/D/1510/2006 (28 April 2009) The Human Rights Committee held that a lawful termination of tenancy rights under Croatian law amounted to an arbitrary interference with the right to home and violated art 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The termination of the tenancy was held to be arbitrary as it was exercised in an unfair and discriminatory way.
From 1986 to 1992, Mr Vojnovic ('the author') and his wife and son occupied a State owned apartment in Zagreb, Croatia. Under Croatian legislation, their tenancy rights in most aspects amounted to ownership. The government could only terminate those rights in certain circumstances, for example, if the tenant ceased occupying the premises for period of more than six months.
In June 1991, the author and his son moved to Serbia after receiving death threats. The author's wife remained in the apartment until October 1992, when she also fled to Serbia. The author and his family escaped to Serbia as they feared for their lives as Croatian Serbs during the period leading up to the Bosnian War. The author claimed that he did not inform the authorities of the threats and intimidation he, and his family, experienced as other tenants in the apartment building who had reported such threats to the police had been forcibly evicted.
In 1995, the Zagreb Municipal Court held that the author and his wife were no longer entitled to their tenancy rights as they had not used the apartment for longer than six months and did not provide 'justified reasons' for their absence from the property. However, the author and his wife were not given adequate opportunity to provide reasons for their absence. Although the authorities had knowledge of the author's temporary residence in Belgrade, they did not summons the author and his wife to participate in the proceeding. Instead, the author and his wife were represented at the hearing by an appointed trustee.
Following the conclusion of the Bosnian War, the author and his family sought to return to Croatia and the apartment where they had previously lived. Between 1998 and 2005 the author and his family were involved in court action to regain their tenancy rights, which had been extinguished by the 1995 decision of the Zagreb Municipal Court. In a review hearing, which was initiated in 1998, the author's key witnesses were refused an opportunity to be heard by the Court. In 2004, the Court upheld its previous decision that the author's tenancy rights were terminated. The author was unsuccessful in subsequent complaints brought before the Croatian Courts.
In 2006, after exhausting all domestic avenues available to him, the author made a complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Committee under the ICCPR against the Croatian government regarding its treatment of him and his family.
The Committee held that the author's complaint was admissible in so far as the factual circumstances raised issues under:
- art 2(1) - right to equality and non-discrimination;
- art 14(1) - right to a fair hearing;
- art 17 - right not to have one's privacy, home and family unlawfully or arbitrarily interfered with; and
- art 26 - right to equality before the law and equal protection of the law.
The Committee held that the State party was in breach of the author's rights under arts 14(1) and 2(1) for two reasons. First, the Committee considered that the decision of the Court not to hear from the author's witnesses was arbitrary and violated the principles of a fair trial and equality before the courts. Secondly, the Committee considered that the review proceedings (initiated in 1998 and decided in 2004) were not conducted expeditiously, and the overall length of the proceedings of almost 7 years could not be justified by the State party. In this regard, the Committee held that 'in light of the author's diligent conduct and of the negative effects the delay has on the author's and his family's return to Croatia, as well in the absence of an explanation by the State party justifying the delay, the overall length in the proceedings for the determination of the author's specially protected tenancy was unreasonable and in breach' of arts 14(1) and 2(1).
Finally, the Committee considered whether the termination of the author's specially protected tenancy constituted a violation of art 17, which requires that any interference with the home be lawful and not arbitrary. As the termination of the author's tenancy was in accordance with Croatian law, the issue before the Committee was whether the termination was arbitrary. The Committee emphasised that the concept of arbitrariness under art 17 is intended to ensure 'that even interference provided for by law should be in accordance with the provisions, aims and objects of the ICCPR and should be, in any event, reasonable in the particular circumstances.'
On the basis of the threats and intimidation experienced by the author and his family by virtue of belonging to the Serb minority, and having regard to the armed conflict occurring in and around Croatia during the relevant period of time, the Committee formed the view that the departure of the author and his family from Croatia 'was caused by duress and related to discrimination.' The Committee concluded that in these circumstances the deprivation of the author's tenancy rights was arbitrary and amounted to a violation of art 17. The Committee did not consider the question of a separate violation of art 26.
Relevance to the Victorian Charter
While the findings of the Committee in this Communication are specific to the unique facts and social context within which the complaint arose, the Committee's comments regarding the 'concept of arbitrariness' may be particularly helpful for lawyers considering the scope and application of the rights under s 13(a) of the Victorian Charter.
A person's right not to have their home unlawfully or arbitrarily interfered with is protected under section 13(a) of the Charter. This decision of the Committee highlights very clearly that any interference with the home must not only be 'lawful', but must also not be arbitrary. For an interference to satisfy the requirement that it not be arbitrary, it should accord with the provisions, aims and objects of the Victorian Charter (including respect for human dignity) and be reasonable in the particular circumstances.

Garage Cinema In Diseworth Leicestershire
Mr and Mrs Holt felt that the time had come for them to reinvent their 60 year-old home in Diseworth, Leicestershire, to better suit their needs. When asked about the reasons for the project, Mrs Holt said, "It's a man thing! The cinema room is an answer to my husband's midlife crisis! It was that, or a sports car, and at least this way we all benefit!"
Extremely keen film buffs, they decided that their single garage was better suited to being a cinema room to feed their habit, rather than a place to store their car! By converting the garage, set away from the rest of the house, the couple gained an entrance hall and a multi-media complex with high-tech equipment, the provision of the latter was not part of the Blackstone project! The larger entrance hall has made the Holt home more welcoming.
The decision was also made to convert the playroom into two rooms. A smaller playroom was kept for use by their children, aged four and seven, and a study was also created. The project took three months and was completed in November 2007.
Commenting on the new purpose of their garage, Mrs Holt said, "We love our home and wanted to reinvent it in some way, reusing the space we have to best address our needs now. Blackstone delivered in a timely, cost-effective manner and were available to discuss any aspect of the project as it progressed. Reliable and professional we could not have asked for anymore and are thrilled with the result."

The Arts-Angels Have Arrived!Posted: September 29, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Amy, Archangels, Arts-Angels, Doctor Who, Rory, St. Michael, The Doctor Leave a comment
Today is the book birthday of book one in the Arts-Angels series: DRAWN TO YOU. Since this series centers around music, I call each book a "track" instead. 🙂 I guess you can say the book "drops" today!
When Gina Santiago, a thirteen-year-old "Nuyorican" with rock star dreams, is accepted into the New York Academy of Arts and Talents for art instead of music, she's crushed. To make matters worse, the student body is divided into "schollies" (students on scholarship, like her) and "dollies" (rich kids with "dollars").
But Gina discovers that there is one thing that brings schollies and dollies–and dancers, singers, actors, and musicians–together: music! Maybe she can make her dreams come true after all…
You can order a copy online on Amazon or Barnes and Noble:
In other news, this is a very "angelic" day in other ways! It's "Michelmas" or the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel (as well as St. Gabriel and Raphael–also Archangels)!
And oddly enough, tonight's episode of Doctor Who also features angels: The Weeping Angels. Unlike St. Michael, these are bad–very bad angels. And they will mark the departure of the Doctor's trusty companions, Rory and Amy. 😦 But I can't wait to see it!
Angels galore today!

Lately I have been thinking a lot about plant diversity. Sure, the early days of plant exploration are long behind us, however, there are still plenty of botanical mysteries yet to be discovered. This goes so much deeper than simple fame and glory too. How can we protect species that we don't even know exist? That is where people like Dr. John Clark come in. Dr. Clark has made a career out of discovering and describing plant species new to science. As you will here, this doesn't always mean finding small plants tucked away in the hard to reach corners of the world. Even large and dominant trees have avoided our attention. Join us for an inspiring conversation about plant systematics. This episode was produced in part by Mark, Allen, Maz, Beccah, Desiree, Sienna, Laura, Margie, Troy, and Bryan.

Holiday season is just around the corner and during this season many people travel to meet their family, friends or to explore a new location. If you are also planning a travel then here is something to brighten up your holiday travel prospects. Airports and airplanes are important gathering places for germs from across the globe. Nothing spoils a tour more than spending it in bed with a germ you picked up at the time of travel. And nothing can spread it more than packing a lot of people in a small area.
So be careful and take measures to stay well. The first preventive measure is to carry alcohol wipes and hand sanitizer. Then, know the favorite places of microbes where they like to linger. Here we are listing a few of them.
- The airport/ airplane toilet: The washrooms on airport and in airplane are the germiest place on a trip. As a result, the surfaces of these washrooms hub E. coli and other infections agents. The door handles, sink and the soap and paper dispenser have germs. These devices are hardly cleaned properly between flights, especially continuing flights.
Tip: Avoid using the restrooms when travelling. If necessary or travelling on a long route, make sure that you use paper towels to open and close the door and turn faucets on and off. Before flushing close the lid of the toilet. Carry sanitizing wipes and use them when you are done.
- Onboard magazines: Travelers touch airplane magazines with dirty hands and sometimes they even spill their drinks and food on the magazines.
Tip: Carry your own reading material and touch nothing except the emergency evacuation instructions from the things kept on the back of the seat. Use the alcohol wipes.
- Water fountains: Public drinking fountains can have as many as 2.7 million bacteria per square inch of the faucet.
Tip: Avoid drinking water from fountains. Carry your own water bottles. Or buy water bottles from the vendors present at the airport. In the plane, ask for bottles water from the attenders because on-board tap water can harbor germs.
- The airline blankets and pillows: Out of 100 blankets and pillows on an airplane, 5 will contaminated with virus of cold and flu from drool, sneezes or coughs.
Tip: Instead of using pillow and blankets of your airplane service, bring your own pillow and blanket. Or if you have forgotten to bring them along, then use your coat as blanket and use that sweater as pillow by balling it up.
So, if you are planning to travel in this holiday break then do keep the above mentioned tips in mind and avoid falling ill during your vacations.

|Bug catching
I've not had the greatest week, a lot of stress over the kitty situation and hardly seeing McCheeky. He came today and we had a good petting time. I tested to see if it would be possible for me to pick him up. I lifted him up a teensy bit, and then decided it would be good to try. My neighbor lady thinks he's not doing well, and I hadn't seen him for a few days. I worried he had died outside. So I got the carrier, but as soon as he heard the door clink he was off.
So I haven't been feeling the best, and the anger I have towards the people who put McCheeky in the situation he's in just bubbled over. I started crying. I just can't believe that he will likely die without any dignity or feeling loved. I was ready and would've called the clinic right after shutting the carrier door-to take him in to have him put down. He sounds very congested, he tried to purr but had a hard time doing so. He's stiff, he's probably loaded with stuff.
I just wanted to do something right by him. He makes me think of Bella Mae so much, and it cuts open my heart a little bit. He deserves so much more than what he was given in this life.
So I'm right in that this will have to be a two-part deal. I'd have to go over and love him up while Bill got the carrier ready...and try to manage to keep a hold on McCheeky until I got him into the carrier. Likely easier said than done.
Today has been a good day so far...the girls seem to be becoming comfortable. Phoebe isn't running away so much-but still hisses.
I hope I have time for a nap today.

Culture Trip: You've travelled extensively, working in projects from Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean. Which areas have you found most inspirational and what cultural influences have filtered into your work?
Brian Woulfe: There is no one place that has inspired me the most, but working on projects in different countries allows me to incorporate different geographical influences into my design. For example, I recently worked on a project in Mallorca. In the towns and villages, the beautiful stonework and colours that are heightened by the Mediterranean sun are such a strong theme and I was keen to introduce some of these into the project. In Southeast Asia, typical design can be quite stark and simple. I tried to adhere to this, while injecting a bit of frivolity through artwork and soft furnishings. It is hugely important, however, to remain sensitive to the cultures of these places.
CT: You're clearly not afraid to use colour, texture or pattern in your schemes – what would your advice be to someone looking to introduce these elements into a room?
BW: Be as bold as you dare! Colour is everywhere at the moment. Complimentary and contrasting colours both work well and so there is an array to choose from. I often hear people say that they don't like to use bright tones in their homes, but there are so many hues to choose from it is important to try and to experiment. You may surprise yourself. If you do not fancy your entire sitting room in powder pink but like the colour, why not try a few scatter cushions or lamps to bring this element of fun to your space? It can be a gradual introduction – I have a very good friend who lives their life in monochrome (so last year!) and it's been difficult persuading him to inject some colour, but I managed to get him to start with one rug and the difference it has made to the room's atmosphere is incredible.
CT: There appear to be influences of Art Deco and mid-century style in your schemes – what particularly draws you to these design eras and are there any particular designers you admire?
BW: Mid-century modern furniture and accessories have seen a huge rise in popularity lately. It is such a versatile style to work with and can be slotted into any space. A beautiful 1950s Italian sofa can work well next to an antique piece of furniture. It's this that I love; a mix of styles within a room is so important. I draw inspiration from so many designers, craftsmen and artists. I like people who are not afraid to take risks but who do not compromise on quality at any stage in the design process. Collector Ken Bolan, founder of Talisman London, has become a source of inspiration for many of my recent projects. It's without a doubt one of the go-to emporiums for those in search of exceptional design from the last three centuries.
CT: You work predominantly in the luxury market – what's the secret to achieving that look on a more modest budget?
BW: I think it is that age old saying: 'quality not quantity'. For me, it is far more important to invest in a couple of key pieces and build the room around it. Interior design is becoming far more accessible these days and many high-street stores have some amazing accessories that can easily and affordably dress a room.
CT: What tips would you give to a millennial who's currently renting to make their property more homely and personal?
BW: I think lighting is key here. Often in rented spaces, you have that one bulb hanging from the centre of a room. Switch it off! Invest in some lamps and floor-standing lights and you will automatically transform the room. De-clutter too. It's easy when renting to feel that you have to store everything with you as it's not your forever home. I disagree, if you have the money, or even better, a friend who has the space, move out all your clutter so that you can concentrate on your interiors. It can be difficult to decorate walls in rented spaces, so accessories are also key. Some nice soft furnishings can add colourful accents to what might be otherwise a bare room.
CT: Space is often at a premium in modern flats – how can you maximise every square inch of space available?
BW: As above, first de-clutter! We collect so much over our lives and it is hard not to be sentimental. However, my rule is if I haven't used/worn/looked at something for a year, it goes in storage/to the charity shop! When space is at a premium, think about your living style – if there are only two of you in a flat, do you really need a sofa and three chairs? Perhaps consider some creative options, some stylish folding chairs that can be brought out when guests come. Furniture designers are constantly trying to evolve pieces of furniture so that they can be multifunctional. The days of an ugly sofa bed are gone and there are now some amazing options out there.
CT: You're based in St John's Wood – what drew you to London in particular?
BW: It's just brilliant, isn't it? Everything is in London. For design, it really is one of the key hubs. For the culture lover, the museums here are a dream. And for foodies and wine lovers (like me), the choice of restaurants and bars is just vast. From an interior design point of view, I have loved working on London-based projects as the clients tend to be a little more daring. I love that. London is so multicultural that you can bring in influences from all over the world and they do not look out of place.
CT: Where are your go-to spots in London to source furniture and objects for clients – and yourself?
BW: I love going to places like the Chelsea Design Centre for one big hit. There are so many options under one roof! I love places like Alfies Antiques in Marylebone and I try to get to as many of the design fairs as I can. Masterpiece is a brilliant fair for seeing high-end design, while Battersea Decorative Fair is great for decorating pieces. I love going to auctions in London also, as they are brilliant fun and sometimes you can pick up a real bargain!
CT: Are there any institutions or public spaces in London that you find especially inspirational?
BW: I have always loved the Great Court at the British Museum. It's just such a fantastic space and I love the way it changes over the seasons, with the different light streaming through the glass roof. I am also a sucker for Sir John Soane's Museum. The yellow of the drawing room has stuck with me since my first visit and I think that's where I get my love of colour from.
CT: What would be your trend forecast for 2018?
BW: Designers will be focusing on intense textures and using new materials. Velvets are standing the test of time, and we are seeing an influx of faux-fur and sustainably sourced feathers. The tactile dimension to design adds a new level to our interiors, incorporating not just sight but touch as well. Giving your home textural elements provides an inviting atmosphere, and shows a real intelligence in design. Combine this with 2018's most-wanted colours for the ultimate modern home, such as Pantone's Colour of the Year, Ultra Violet.
CT: What's your plan for the year ahead?
BW: I would obviously be happy to travel anywhere for my work, but next year I would really like to concentrate on London projects. London is very exciting in the design world at the moment and it's great to be a part of it. It's going to be a challenging year, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

V S, Harrow
We had two sets of school fees to pay for the summer term, and did not want to sell my 22ct wedding jewellery, we just needed a short term loan. Jonathan Thank you, the £7000 that you have loaned us against our gold has solved our problems.
P C, Hampstead
I had my Rolex Daytona sitting in my draw and was very short of funds (short term), and the £4000 has got me out of my short term problem. Gerry, thanks for your professional service, and I will recommend you and definitely use you again if needed.
J B, Bridlington
Dear Pawndirect, My husband had been made redundant, and we were very short of money. On sending you my husband's 100g 9ct ID bracelet, I was able to get £700 from you into my account within 1 hour of you receiving my goods, a massive thanks.
R H, Middlesbrough
It was my daughter's 21st birthday and my husband had been made redundant. I had my mother's 2ct 3 stone diamond ring and thanks to Pawndirect I was able to make a 21st party and buy my daughter a lovely present for her 21st birthday. They loaned me £1500. Now my husband has got his job back, I have redeemed my ring and all it cost me was £76. A big thank you.

And while the web site's design may be passable to excellent, I find this slip-shod approach to pursuing online business very unwise and marketing inept. It is an automatic signal to any experienced Internet user that there is a lack of commitment to the commercial endeavor.
Offering a product and/or service this way does not help establish name recognition, brand awareness, or make it easy to attract the target audience. These services also appear to experience a higher rate of bandwidth and server problems due to high traffic loads, which include the abundant amount of personal web sites that are also being hosted free. Visitors may leave before the first page downloads or never come back when they cannot even access the site. Talk about one foot in the marketing grave.
The time for your company's domain name is at the very start. That is doing it right! Whether you are an entrepreneur, partnership, or a corporation, registering for an appropriate domain name and selecting a service provider for your web site should be done when you have committed to use the Internet as a commercial tool.
Quite frankly . . . If you cannot afford the relatively inexpensive fee for domain name registration and the monthly service provider fee, then it is probably not advisable to pursue a commercial venture on the Internet. It definitely makes online marketing very difficult.
Maximize your business' potential by registering a domain name that fits and select a service provider that is technically sound. You will then be able to measure results properly.
Of course, the next step is making the target audience aware of your business. However, for this information you need to read other articles, including some of mine.

I'm in the process of abandoning my Low Sec home. (A process that is taking an age due to a lack of suitable wormholes to exit via.)
When I first moved in Easily Excited was the main pirate group in the area. While they would actively hunt you and salt systems by always leaving someone AFK in them day after day, it was quiet enough at times to undock and do something.
Lately they have been replaced by Surely You're Joking. Reading chatter and trolling in local it appears as if there is some current bad blood between them. (Apparently in part around a corporation moving from EE to SYJ.) SYJ tends to be more numerous in my time zone, and while they still hunt and post scouts, they also often run sites or mine ice. As a result I wasn't finding many opportunities to do anything.
I haven't given up on the Low Sec notion. I enjoy the stories and image portrayed by The Nosy Gamer too much for that. The reality is however as a solo player I have to adapt and fit around what other players are doing.
So I am back to the drawing board looking for a different place where I can fairly regularly get 10 minutes at a time to undock unmolested in Low Sec.
I think I'll give Genesis a miss this time round, and Faction Warfare space is just too busy. I do like Molden Heath – from its quiet statistics in Dotlan, to how it has been when I have occasionally visited. It just really isn't useful if I want to store my Capitals there as well.
At the moment I am thinking Kor-Azor. It links to multiple regions and has multiple entrance points. My initial scouting suggests it is under the sway of Easily Excited. They seem to camp the more obvious entrance systems heavily, but some of the systems off the main pipes seem extra quiet. (Probably because of the camping.)
It might also work as a place to store my capitals. I can reach Syndicate after the capital nerf in 3 or 4 jumps in one direction and Providence in 3 or 4 jumps in another direction. I'm not sure why that is particularly important, but since I have lived in both it seems comforting to think I can return.
The problem with Kor-Azor, particularly with the camping, is that there doesn't seem to be a cluster of quiet systems to work in and around, instead just a couple here and there.
More research is required.

West Lindsey District councillor Giles McNeil, who was also waiting for the 12.03pm train on Saturday, has slammed the service as "disgusting" - and is demanding a meeting with transport bosses and MP Sir Edward Leigh.
Coun McNeil - who is also a constituency aide for Sir Edward - posted a message on Twitter stating: "Disgusting service from @EMTrains at Market Rasen 12:03.
"57 passengers turned away due to lack of capacity: Without any warning!"
East Midlands Train responded by saying: "We are sorry for this Giles, regrettably all our carriages are being used to their maximum capacity."
But Coun McNeil retaliated, saying: "And what alternative did you offer?
"What announcement was made on platform?
"What apology offer by the train crew? None."
East Midlands Trains then said: "Compensation. Our apologies."
And Coun McNeil then had the final word, saying: "I will be, don't worry about that.
"I will be seeking a meeting with @transportgovuk ministers and Sir @EdwardLeigh MP."
Coun McNeil said all kinds of people were waiting for the busy train, including elderly and disabled people and young children.

Whoa, we can't believe that 2014 has nearly come to its end! Since we have started TFE last July we have been developing the website, in constant search for good music and delicious recipes and we are far from finished! It has been a really fun process of creativity, collaboration and most importantly fun and laughter. Thank you so much for following us!
As usual at the end of the month we post our playlist, and this is one to end the year with a bang, because there ain't no party without some great music! This is as well our last post of the year, so along with these fine tunes we at The Fresh Edit would like to wish you a very Healthy, Happy and FRESH 2015!!
1) The Winter Blues Blocker Smoothie Song: The Avener – Fade Out Lines
Fade Out Lines was suddenly everywhere and what a song from The Avener it is! The track reached a number one position in the German Itunes chart and after that it went global. As the artist describes the song: "Fade Out Lines is hard to define. It's blues with jazz, folk and funk influences, and electronic instruments. It has feelings, emotions and nostalgia, but a lot of energy too." We couldn't say it better and it's just what we need to fight the Monday morning blues. Keep an eye/ear out for his new album The Wanderings of the Avener, which will be released January 19, 2015.
2) The Winter Essence Smoothie Song: The Cool Quest – Funkin' Badass
If you feel like dancing, you have to listen to The Cool Quest's debut album Funkin' Badass. They have been crowned Radio 6 Soul & Jazz Talent and received a lot of attention performing at a wide range of festivals with their mix of Jazz and Hip Hop sounds. Funkin' Badass is the first single they released and one of our favorite tracks from their debut album. Groovy Monday is here!
3) The Sunshine Smoothie Song: Tove Lo – Not on Drugs
You might know the Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo from her success with a remix of hip hop producers Hippie Sabotage titled Stay High and she has written several songs for Icona Pop and other artists. Now Tove Lo is back and released her debut album last September, named Queen of the Clouds. Loving her style and we chose Not on Drugs as a nice sample of her cool vibe. Happy Friday!
4) The Cheesecake Smoothie Song: Song: James Bay – Hold Back The River
He toured with Hozier last Fall and that is a big deal! James Bay's latest single is called Hold Back the River and all we can say is: WOW! The singer from the UK is currently receiving a lot airplay and too bad we have to wait until the end of march until his album Chaos and the Calm will be released, because we want to hear more!
5) The Oreo Smoothie Song: Bear's Den – Above The Clouds
You might have noticed Bear's Den in the 2014 documentary "Austin to Boston" by James Marcus Haney where he followed the band on their first tour through the states in 2012 accompanied by Ben Howard among others. Now this UK folk band released their debut album Islands last October, including the track Above The Clouds. At the moment they are on tour performing in the Netherlands this weekend and will continue in February 2015, with one more gig in Melkweg, Amsterdam, on February 23rd. Tickets are still available!
6) The Gingerbread Smoothie Song: Bastille – Bite Down (Bastille VS. HAIM)
Bastille is great, Haim is awesome, a collab between those two is probably not what you would expect, but whoa, does this work! What a great way to just zone out from all the Christmas songs on the radio (if you're not into that at all or not ready to hear them just yet) and just something you need if you feel like the whole world is on holiday already and you still need to go to work on Monday…Bite down! A couple of days to go!!
7) The Candy Cane Smoothie Song: Kodaline – Unclear
When Kodaline releases music we can't wait to have a first listen and it has to be said that these guys do not disappoint. Their new LP Coming Up For Air with the songs Honest and Unclear are just plain beautiful. You might have already fallen in love with the song All I Want which was released as part of the soundtrack for the film The Fault in Our Stars, but this is another great album to bring along into 2015.

Ironic isn't it?
So, the only other thing I can come up with is because Bill smokes a lot-even with the window down-being in the car 2 1/2-3 hours (to and from) and then counting all the city driving and cigarettes smoked...that I have a delayed sinus infection from THAT. Window down doesn't mean anything for me anymore.
Otherwise, I just caught a bug of sorts. Just my head feels like it's caught in a vice, I'm draining something terrible, and my neti-pot is being used more now than ever. (I will have you know too, I have used the neti-pot twice a day, every day, since my being sick. Along with my allergy sinus spray...so being 'sick' is a bit of a kick in the metaphorical nuts.) Unexpected, unwanted, and I really have no choice other than to deal with it.
I can't help but wonder if my IUD is contributing to this. I've been having crazy health and crazy periods, and increasing hormonal breakdowns (crying for absolutely nothing)
I'm getting over being mad at Bill. He didn't call me, his sister didn't call me (as it was late). I believe I have firmly etched in the minds of all that I see that as an excuse that I will no longer accept as an answer. I found out Bill's location on FB yesterday a.m. and one should know after finding out about a cousin's accident on FB and the death of an aunt on FB...I have a growing hate of FB as a 'communication highway'.
Sometime after I found out from Rachel-Bill text me. Which I informed him I knew already because of FB. I tried to not talk to him at all about my feelings-but after not finding his shirt in the closet (for family pictures; he had taken it with him) I ended up spilling everything. He had drank a goodly amount, calling me pretty much slipped his mind. I was irate. I told him that it wasn't just that, but the fact he FORGOT about me. One thing, one simple request and he goes and drinks himself stupid and doesn't even think. He's talking about a cousin of mine and how his future wife can stand it (how?) and that it's 'too much'. What does Bill think he's doing?
I'm trying a supplement I bought for Bella Mae vs. the antibiotic. Seriously, her reactions to the antibiotic aren't fun. She hates it, and it does not seem to help her much at all. You'd think she'd be feeling better? She's walking around looking grumpy and wanting to stay away from excitement. She seems to have issues with finding something appetizing to eat (I'm trying to get her off Blue Buffalo Wilderness and onto the Orijen foods-mainly I want her on the fish one but she likes chicken better. I think she has sensitivities to chicken.)
Cordelia Joy looks like a lion on the perch. Her winter floof...is so floofy.
I've been hinted to several times that people think I'm allergic to my cats. This is not the case. I do not have other symptoms-I can snorgle kitty bellies and not die from sneezing, hacking, etc. I really have no issues of sneezing/coughing in the apartment. Mainly I have issues outside (cold and humidity) and at work. Wood-heat houses or cigarette smoke. (I never smoked a lot anyways-so I'm not missing much.) Perhaps I have some sinus issues because of the heat in the apartment. (electric) I wonder if a humidifier would help. (ponders) At least in the bedroom.
I received my most expensive dr. bill that I've been waiting for. I'll go to the bank tomorrow and get money situated to pay for it. Bless my savings account and the HRA plan at work. I can pay it off right away and then next week sometime I'll get a check back for it.
And hooray for Wed.!!! My last reimbursed massage (dreamy sigh) I just hope I'm not feeling worse by then. More C more C!!!
Time to end my early morning ramble...I should get dressed in 'real' clothes. Long day today, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Life's fun, isn't it? (Sarcasm)ReplyDelete
I have year-round allergies and have lost my sense of smell because of them, but I just shrug and carry on. I take an allergy pill on the days it gets too bad and that's about it.
So no advice or suggestions from me, just universal Light and thanks -- thanks for wishing my Annie a happy birthday! :-)
Thanks much :) Love and Light is a great enough response!ReplyDelete
I've just started developing allergies over this past year; fail.
I've gotten generic flonaze-allergy pills of any kind make me tired or loopy. And when I work during busy hours at the Co-Op, I can hardly muster up the 'muchness' to take one. Otherwise I'm finding things to consume to try and keep me awake. >.<
Hope you have a great day :)
Josie, so sorry to hear things aren't so great over there but I hope it will be better soon.ReplyDelete
I've been hinted several times about my "cats" - you see I get fungal infection very easily due to suppressed immune system and every time, people tend to point to my cats when I tell them. Sigh!
Well, I offer you {{hugs}}
and my kitties ... extra purrs to auntie Josie!
Hang in there! Things will be better soon!

I, Bret Wayne Bourg, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God……..
The American servicemen who boarded an aging CHINOOK on the 6th of August, 2011, had each taken that oath, not thinking twice about it. They had endured the pain and agony of their training just so they could be a part of a team, a family dedicated to one another and the country they served. The best in their fields, the elite…. Just three months before, this team was involved in an operation of historical proportions, one the world would have never known they had participated, if not for the loose lips of a Vice President. These men, sworn to defend the ideals of a document written over two hundred years ago, were now the most hunted men in Afghanistan. What they were thinking as they boarded will never be known. Were they questioning the use of an aircraft not suited for the mission at hand? Did they know there would be no supporting fire before reaching the LZ? Did they have any inkling they would be flying into a full blown, thoroughly prepared ambush? Probably not, but someone did.
The ceremony to send the fallen home in the aftermath of their betrayed mission was sullied by the words of one of Satan's Imams, condemning the souls of these men to hell for eternity…. How can anyone with a heart and half a brain just sit back and do nothing ? So many Americans did that when the news first broke,and are still doing so…Despicable…just…despicable.
Fast forward…Sept 11, 2012. Again a situation where people in charge KNEW that a dangerous , deadly scenario was unfolding days in advance, yet when the axe fell, orders were given to "stand down". Regardless of the reasons for the ambassador and his aide being there, this administration watched in real time as Stevens and three others were being murdered and rescue assets were forced to stay put. For weeks the lies flew as Obama's minions did everything they could to protect his card playing ass. Denying the terrorist aspect of the attack, flying to Vegas the next day to party and "fund raise", putting a man in prison for a poor quality video that few had ever seen, all in a sophomoric attempt to keep Obummer's hands clean. The lies and obstructions continue, almost a year after the event. Survivors have been spread all over the country, their names allegedly changed, families most likely threatened if they dare talk. And still Americans sit and do nothing, the vast majority falling for Obama's weak excuse of "phony scandals".
These are just two of the most egregious betrayals thrust upon us by this administration. It didn't start with Obama, but "Mr. Transparency" has been anything but. To all you fence sitters out there…GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND PAY ATTENTION. Your country is being stolen out from under you! Your government cares nothing for your well being, whether you have a job, health care…. You are nothing more than a human asset to be used, then tossed aside when your utility no longer serves their purpose. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR ANYTHING, LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELVES. Take off the blinders and pull yourselves away from the television and other forms of mainstream media. Forget Honey Boo Boo or the frigging Royal Baby, the Kardashians…American Idol. Bread and Circuses. History is repeating itself, only now those in charge have the means to vaporize each and every one of us if we don't stand together NOW and TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I am excited to announce that I have fully revamped my blog to turn it into a Special Needs Online Community! Beyond Basic Play is now an online community with forums that are focused on families with children with special needs as well as pediatric therapists!

Boggess History – some basic info
The first volume of the Boggess Books, lists the patriarch of our extended family to be Robert Boggus. It was believed that he was an emigrant from England and it is not known when he arrived in the new world. The research of some has him arriving from Wales. It is believed that Mary was his wife but there is no proof that she was his wife nor is there any information that she emigrated with Robert.
A deed dated April 1, 1644 names Robert Boggus of Nansemond County Virginia a planter. Another document dated November 17, 1650 mentions a deposition of Robte Boggas. On December 15, 1656 Richard Wheeler was granted 300 acres for transporting Robert Boggis, Mary Boggis, John Boggis and others. On the 20th of October 1662 men witnessed the last will and testament of Robert Boggis. Another last will and testament of Robert Baggus was dated August 30, 1661. Do these documents refer to the same Robert Boggus?
The will dated August 1661 names his son John, son Henry, son Andrew, and daughter Nell and wife Meare (Mary). Therefore the first Boggess book shows the date of death for Robert Boggus as 1661/1662 with wife Mary and four children, John, Henry, Andrew and Nell.
Apparently there is no evidence that John and Andrew had any children but we know that Henry first married Katherine (unknown) and second married Ruth (unknown). Henry was the father of Katherine, Henry, and Ruth. His son Henry married Mary Bennett and fathered nine children, five of which were sons. Therefore we believe that any Boggess today is a descendent of Bennett, Henry, Robert, Thomas or John Boggess.
Our research indicates that many Boggess' (if not all) can be traced to the children of Henry and Mary Bennett Boggess. These children are: Henry, Bennett, Robert, Thomas, John and Elizabeth. The following is a list of people who we have attached to the above children:

China is expected to receive remittances from overseas Chinese worth $66 billion, according to the World Bank. (Photo : Reuters)
As part of his historic appearance at the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting this week, China's Premier Li Keqiang sealed an agreement with the Swiss government.
Under the new deal, the eastern Asian nation will provide Bern with an $8-billion investment quota as part of China's Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor initiative.
The news from the WEF event is in accordance with the Chinese government's foremost priorities in 2015, which include RMB internationalization and exchange rate reform, as well as the strict supervision and control of local-government debt.
Furthermore, in line with Thursday's comments from Liu Zhiqin, senior fellow at Renmin University of China, the move shows that China is open to further international investments that will improve the economic conditions of other countries.
According to experts, RMB internationalization consists of a three-stage process: The first two stages are trade and investment, respectively, followed by the use of the RMB as a reserve currency in the longer term. The conditions are presently ripe for China, as its expansive development has led to the ongoing rise of the currency's cross-border settlement.
The data shows that the volume reached $1.3 trillion in the first 10 months of 2014. Additionally, the RMB is now ranked as the seventh payments currency in the world, after a 21 position in 2011.
The Swiss agreement forms part of RMB internationalization strategy that continues steadily, and has been described by the government as "crossing the river by feeling the stones."
At the time of publishing, 12 cities, including London and Sydney, have established offshore RMB offices. Benefits of the process include the provision of a strategic opportunity for Chinese banks, as they further develop their international payments clearing businesses; the capacity of Chinese companies to use the RMB for cross-border trade; and the facilitation of smoother, more profitable business relations between foreign companies and Chinese enterprises.
However, even though the world was reportedly looking to China to rejuvenate global conditions at the WEF, Premier Li informed his foreign counterparts that China does not pride itself upon a "lone hero" status.
Although the Chinese leader presented signals that reinforce China's position as the world's main economic driver, which contributed 27.8 percent to the global GDP last year, he implored the WEF gathering to participate in "unified, joint" efforts so that there are more "heroes" working in partnership with China.

Kansas City Business Security
A security system is at the backbone of any life safety system. While they can be basic, technology advancements have lead to additional functionality and cost. What do you really need? When is it best to save your money? Assurance Security will walk you through these decisions.
Wireless Security Solutions
Old school security alarms communicate to the central station via your landline telephone. This telephone line has historically been the weak point in most security systems. Phone lines are vulnerable to many types of failure including:
- Intentional line cuts
- Maintenance issues
- Vandalism
- Floods
- Blackouts
Don't trust your business to an outdated Security alarm transmission system that is slow, can fail or be disarmed by a perpetrator when they are needed most. Many old systems communicate with the central station by phone line—which can be cut in a matter of seconds by a skilled thief and a pair of pliers. With no lines to cut, an updated system guarantees a secure and reliable alarm. New technology notifies fire and police faster than ever.
Your security system checks in with the central station regularly to ensure that the communication is working seamlessly. If it detects an issue, you will be notified immediately.
Security Alarm Scams
It's our goal to educate our potential customers, so they can make the very best decision possible about security equipment. Quality electronic equipment is not cheap. Be wary of systems that are low priced. Either the equipment is not high quality, or the company might be pulling a bait-and-switch. Many companies sell security equipment at a loss. How do they stay in business?? They use tricky sales tactics to rope in cost-minded business owners into expensive, long term contracts with hidden fees and clauses.
Be wary of proprietary equipment. Many security companies use proprietary equipment to trap their customer. Because proprietary equipment is only sold to a small number of companies in an area, replacement parts can only be purchased by the company that installed the system. Owners of a system are left with little recourse in the event that they are not receiving quality service. They have few (if any) options to shop around for the best price.

A hobby farmer near Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. made a surprising discovery last week when he went to collect his chicken's eggs.
One of Dennis Goslow's hens has laid an egg that is 180 grams. That's heavier than a major league baseball and the size of a large apple.
"[The egg] seems to be a little bit warped," Goslow said from his home in Echo Bay, Ont. "You can imagine, the poor thing coming out. It looks like an egg, but it's a little rough."
"It was warm when I picked it up," he said.
A large sized chicken egg usually weighs between 50 and 58 grams. Goslow's hen's egg is more than three times that weight. (Dennis Goslow)
Goslow told CBC News he's never seen a chicken egg this big in his life.
In 2009, a chicken in the Ottawa area made news when it laid an egg that was 143 grams. At 180 grams, Goslow's egg might be the heaviest on Canadian record.
Unfortunately, there's no World Record title in the cards.
The record for the heaviest chicken egg in the world was reportedly laid by a hen in New Jersey, USA in 1956. That egg was 454 grams.

The Latest: US says 42 were arrested in border confrontation
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Latest on the Trump administration's position on the migrant caravans (all times local):
2:30 p.m.
U.S. authorities say they made 42 arrests during a confrontation with migrants at the border separating San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico.
That number is lower than initially reported. Rodney Scott, chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector, said Tuesday that an initial count of 69 arrests included some in Mexico by Mexican authorities.
The 42 arrests in the U.S. included 27 men, with the rest being women and children.
Scott says hundreds more illegally entered the U.S. but agents could not safely arrest them and they returned to Mexico.
Scott is defending the firing of tear gas into Mexico because agents were being assaulted with what he calls "a hail of rocks."
Mexican authorities say they made 39 arrests in Sunday's march associated with a caravan of Central American migrants.
9:55 a.m.
President Donald Trump's counselor Kellyanne Conway says she feels for the mothers and children seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border but the idea that everyone in migrant caravans is "peacefully seeking asylum" is a misnomer.
The U.S. has used tear gas at the Mexican border to repel a crowd of migrants that included angry rock-throwers but also barefoot, crying children.
Conway on Tuesday denounced smugglers who have taken migrants' money with guarantees of asylum. She wonders aloud why there weren't people helping the migrants seek asylum legally.
Conway says violence at the border shows Trump critics who accused the president of playing politics with the issue are being proven wrong.
Trump has portrayed migrants at the San Diego-Tijuana border crossing as a threat to U.S. national security. Critics insist he's exaggerating to stoke fears and achieve his political goals.
12:05 a.m.
President Donald Trump is defending the use of what he calls "very safe" tear gas by border agents to repel a crowd of Central American migrants that included rock-throwers but also crying children.
Critics denounced the border agents' action Sunday as overkill, but Trump kept to a hard line.
Trump said Monday that the agents had been "rushed by some very tough people."
But at a Mississippi roundtable later Monday, the president seemed to acknowledge that children were affected, asking, "Why is a parent running up into an area where they know the tear gas is forming and it's going to be formed and they were running up with a child?"
He said it was "a very minor form of the tear gas itself" that he assured was "very safe."

=====Cristiano Ronaldo can look forward to a return to Old Trafford in the Champions League this season after his new team Juventus came out in the same group as Manchester United in Thursday's draw in Monaco.
Ronaldo, who was not in Monaco despite being nominated for an individual award, spent six years at United, winning the Champions League in 2008, before moving to Real Madrid in 2009.
He will come up against his compatriot Jose Mourinho, under whom he played during his time at Real, while United Midfielder, Paul Pogba, can also look forward to facing his old team.


text: Atlas calls itself 'the first fitness tracker' which isn't strictly true. But its maker believes that it deserves this moniker as it identifies what workout you are doing, evaluates your form and will even count your reps for you. It's like having a personal trainer without the massive inferiority complex that inevitably goes along with this. Oh, and it will also measure heart rate as well as working with many a fitness app that's out there too. And, looks wise, it definitely gets our vote.
