Parcel delivery here is awesome, sadly not so the small parcels from the postman which we often have to collect from the post office because they have left a 'you were out' notice when we had been at home all day.
Parcel delivery problems
If you check out the 'Visitor Posts' on the Australia Post Facebook page, you will see lots of people complaining about cards being left when they were home. Australia Post often replies with the reasons this happens e.g. postie on bike doesn't actually have parcel on board due to size, they're also not allowed to leave their bikes.
Funny that. Too big to deliver on a bicycle so they find that an adequate excuse not to do their job. Brilliant.
This is a common experience for me. We were working from home for quite some time and would regularly find these cards on the door step! They drive me insane. I know sometimes it's the condition placed by the seller (requires a signature) but I also feel that the forms are already filled in once they have come to the door.
I live in Ballarat. Both the letter and parcel deliverymen are wonderful. If the letter is too large the postie will bring to the door and ring the bell and the parcel delivery people make an effort to deliver every parcel. The only complaint I have is with the organization itself. One parcel recently, was sent from Adelaide to Sunshine then to Clayton, back to Sunshine to finally arrive in Ballarat 3 days later.
I agree. I live in an acreage area, and many houses have long easements. AP postmen cannot drive onto private property. I have a wonderful postman, who beeps his horn many times if he suspects I am at home. He told me they have not had an increase in the amount they are paid for four years- nothing at all. He had to get a little van, to carry all the parcels he gets now, and believe me, when I looked into it, it was full of parcels. The job of the postie has changed dramatically in the last four or five years, and it seems to me that AP has not changed their business model quickly enough to cope with it. Don't blame the messenger, all of these guys are running as fast as they can, to get things delivered, and hopefully, make a living. We want things instantly, and are very unforgiving. My AP parcel service is great, within the constraints described, but the management of AP need to take a good hard look at how they can do business better, QUICKLY. Personally I also suspect that the current mob are hoping this government agency will find itself unable to cope, which gives them the perfect excuse to "privatise", or shift to the private sector, this business.
I've been home when a parcel has been delivered. No knock at the door - I just found a card in the letterbox from the courier driver the next day. The last time I managed to bolt out the door when I saw the delivery van pull up. The driver didn't even bother coming into the gate and was just about to pop the card into the letterbox when she saw me. She didn't look happy and had to go back to the van to get the parcel. I asked her why she didn't knock on my door and said that she saw on my gate that I had dogs and said she wasn't going to enter the property. The sign isn't for a dangerous dog so I think this is a poor excuse.
I object to a parcel just being thrown on the door mat. Which leaves the parcel in full view of passersby,
There are several spots near the front door that are hidden from the street, but it seems to hard for the delivery person to walk 2 more steps. I also have had a 'parcel unable to deliver" notice when we have been home all day, when we are home to front door is open and we have a fully functioning doorbell. To lazy to walk up the drive I guess, just drop the notice in the letterbox and get the client to do the work.
A couple of years ago we completed a form to say whether we wanted parcels left at the door, or pick up undelivered items at the local PO. (This doesn't include registered items which have to be signed for).
We have received great service from Aust Post deliveries, they are always left in one of several secluded spots by they front door, where we can see them when returning home, but remain unseen by by passing street traffic.
Public servants for the most part, except for pollies themselves and their inner circles, have not had $0.01 increase in about 4 years, which is why Immigration/Border Protection, the BOM, and others are striking. Government treats its workers with the utmost disdain imaginable.
One thing I like now with AP is you get the option to have them 'safe drop' it for you so even if its something that would have required a signature in the past you can opt to have it left outside in a few preset locations.
I used to cringe everytime something was delivered via Auspost vs another courier (as the couriers would normally leave small packages and not require a signature etc) as since I was always at work and never at home I'd have to figure out a way to get to the local post office which of course was the one which was only open during business hours :(.
It always grated that they had to send it to the closest one even though there are 2 close by that are open on a Saturday morning etc.
Oh I don't get it sent to work because we work 2 minutes away from a major depot and they deliver to us first and get there so early most of us would still be eating breakfast so we get a card and then have to go to a depot (which has no office/desk/staff for pickups) and sorta look like a fish out of water until someone (warehouse staff/courier) notices and tries and finds the package.
Hi Gordon, I know your pain. I also live out of town. I can site many instances of private delivery companies that refuse to deliver of contact me.Luckily I work in town and I get all me parcels sent to my work address. Aust Post is the only people who actually deliver to bush addresses but very few use them??
I'm product testing a smart parcel delivery box system being implemented by Australia Post where couriers (not just Aust Post couriers) can leave parcels in a locked parcel box near your front door, even those parcels that require signatures. Without going into details as this is a testing phase, couriers can look up your delivery instructions via an app/QR code, and an email is sent to you when the parcel box has been opened by a courier. They are also testing a video doorbell which rings on your phone, whether you are home or not, so that you can talk to couriers. There is lots happening behind the scenes at Australia Post with technology solutions to these parcel issues, and training of the parcel contractors, so I'm confident the service will improve.
Oh, you're not wrong and I love your description!!! The number of times I know someone has been at home, and then we get the "not at home" card and the parcel goes to our "in area" post office, but certainly not the most convenient to pick up from. I talked to a postie once and he asked my opinion on a few things, such as would I like to nominate where I'd pick up from, including from a business centre with long hours (i.e. without even trying to deliver at home, makes sense for them not to have a wasted trip either), I like those ideas, as long as it's no extra cost to me. How many people can be waiting at home for a parcel!!?
In Perth it always happened- a card was left, no one knocked, even when I'd been sitting at the kitchen table at the time it was supposedly delivered. However, the package was then taken to the post office and I could pick it up which wasn't so bad.
However, now that I live in Sydney, my monthly skin care order gets delivered by 'couriers please' who, if you don't immediately answer the door (they knock, wait three seconds and then leave), leave a card for you to book re delivery in 3 business days. But they give NO time frames- so you are expected to wait around all day long to get the parcel. They won't take it to a post office and you can't pick it up from them. When I complain to the company I order products from, their only solution is to pay double the cost of postage to get it delivered to a parcel locker. That's $168 in postage yearly!
I have not had a problem with parcel delivery. I recently received a parcel whilst I was at home. There was a knock on the door, and the delivery person waited for me to answer it. No problems. The other couple of times I have received a slip were when I was out. Annoying to have to drive to the PO etc, but better than having the parcel stolen at the front door.
Why are you looking at just the negative side? Try to give a balanced view rather than just propagating a popular story line. Of course there will be negative stories, but there are probably more positive ones that don't get a reaction
I haven't had much to do with Couriers Please Emma but some of the other carriers ,Toll being one will let you sign a declaration that the parcel can be left without a signature at the place of your choosing , behind gate , security door etc .Try bringing this up with Couriers please . I work from home and have parcels arriving all the time from different companies . A parcel must be signed for if it's registered , usually Auspost . Apart from that the others will leave the parcel as long as you give them written permission in advance without a signature . Explain your situation to Couriers Please and if no luck there ask the sender if they would use Toll Ipec as they leave without signature . I use them alot . I reiterate you must advise them to leave the parcel by a declaration . With Toll you can download the form sign it and scan it to your computer and email it back . Also Toll Ipec and TNT will drop "no homes " at local newsagencies . Wish you luck with Couriers Please
A security camera is trained on the front entry-way, so I know whether a courier or postie has allowed enough time for the door to be answered. Australia Post parcel delivery service is excellent and consignments are delivered by a friendly professional or are available for collection at my local post office. This is very convenient indeed, and I prefer to deal with companies that use Australia Post for delivery. For other couriers, it's usually possible to arrange an authority-to-leave, which is a good option for low-value items. I have had no problems with the vast majority of deliveries, including a wall oven, iron, vacuum cleaner, fragile items and other purchases. The only issue was one occasion on which the courier dropped a parcel containing a new DVD player as he was trying to ring the doorbell. He did not mention it but it was known at the time by virtue of the security cam (though not raised with the courier). The player has been operating fine so I did not initiate a complaint. The last time there was a serious problem with a courier was in 2012 and the courier was Couriers Please, so I have always since avoided dealing with any company using that carrier.
I live in Canberra and receive on average one parcel per week. In the past six months I have had repeated problems with parcel delivery, with non-delivery cards being left when I have been home. I have also paid for parcels to be delivered on specific days and had them delivered on a different day. If it was delivered after the agreed time it would potentially be understandable, but it has always been delivered the previous day. Luckily I have been home on some of these days.
My main difficulty, other than the frustration, is that I have a disability. I use a wheelchair, can't drive and live on my own. I buy online to avoid having to carry large parcels myself. Having to collect them from the PO when there is very little capacity to carry medium or large parcels is very difficult. When I have paid, effectively twice, for delivery to happpen when I am home only for it to be ignored seems a breach of service standards.
My local PO has seemed frustrated when I've mentioned the problems, but I know there is nothing they can do about it. They don't know what they are going to be able to do when a parcel that is simply impossible for me to collect is either "not deliverable" when I am home or delivered on a different day to that arranged (paid) for and I am not home.
Hopefully things will improve - or at least I will continue to be lucky that so far the very large parcels have been succesfully delivered even if not when I expected/paid for them to be delivered.
I live in an outer suburban metro area with a "safe front door" for leaving parcels so have it easy. When ordering I always include a note to seller "OK to leave by front door if house unattended". I have only found one who would not do that with their "reasoning" that "the delivery drivers don't read labels anyway." They were correct - the label showed signature required but it was left at my door anyway. I have not had anything go missing in 14 years at the address.
Sometimes I forget. With the tracking number in hand, for some courier companies it only takes a phone call (and some time on hold!), some have a download authorisation form to leave for the driver, Auspost has facilities on their "my" website that is curiously inconsistent when it will or will not work, and a few will take a letter pinned to your door if it is big enough and obvious enough and has all the necessary information, with the caveat some drivers are not the most conscientious workers and are oblivious to anything on your door for them.

Dukan Diet
Balanced Diet
These diets contain more than the government's recommendation that between 10 to 35 percent of daily calories come from protein.
Pros Cons
- All-you-can-eat
- Filling
- Lots of rules
- Could fall short nutritionally
The aim: Weight loss.
The claim: You'll lose up to 10 pounds within the first week, and continue at a clip of 2 to 4 pounds a week until you reach your goal weight – all while eating as much as you want (of the approved foods, of course). If you follow the rules to the letter, you'll never regain.
The theory: Counting calories isn't the key to weight loss; protein is. It's a weight-loss powerhouse – it's filling, takes time and work to digest, and has very few calories for each gram of food compared to carb-heavy foods. When protein supplies the majority of a diet. and fats and carbs are all but squeezed out, fast weight loss ensues. (Limiting carbs, the body's preferred energy source, forces the body to turn to an alternative fuel – stored fat.) That's motivation enough for dieters to follow a strict plan that rewards the faithful by slowly adding back the bread, cheese and fruit they so dearly missed.
Dukan Diet ranked #37 in Best Diets Overall. 38 diets were evaluated with input from a panel of health experts. See how we rank diets here.
Dukan Diet is ranked:
Dos Don'ts
Prepare for lots of rules. All four phases of the Dukan Diet – named for former French physician Pierre Dukan, its creator – are heavy on do's and don'ts, and even the slightest slip-up is considered destructive. You'll move from the all-you-can-eat, pure protein "Attack" phase to "Cruise," which allows selected vegetables on selected days. In the third phase, "Consolidation," you'll add more foods that, by now, you're longing for, such as cheese and bread. By the last phase, "Permanent Stabilization," you're relatively free. With just a few (very crucial and very specific) parting rules, you're permitted to eat anything you want.
Attack: A gourmand's dream diet, this phase is all-you-can-eat, portion-wise. Any of the following is fair game: lean beef, veal, pork and venison; organ meat including liver and tongue; fish; shellfish; poultry; low-fat ham, turkey and chicken; eggs; vegetable protein such as tofu and seitan; nonfat dairy; water and other no-calorie drinks (yes, even diet soda); and 1 1/2 tablespoons of oat bran. Spices and herbs are encouraged to avoid monotony. Craving something else? Too bad – cheating is expressly forbidden. "[S]uccumbing to any other foods, as small as the lapse may be, will be like puncturing a balloon with a needle," warns Dukan.
The Attack phase lasts between one to 10 days, depending on how much weight you have to lose. For the majority of dieters – those with 20 to 40 pounds to shed – Attack is typically five days and weight loss is usually 4 to 7 pounds, according to Dukan.
Cruise: In this phase, you'll add back certain all-you-can-eat vegetables (the nonstarchy ones, such as cucumbers, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers and salad greens). Still, Dukan recommends alternating one day of the "pure-protein" Attack phase with one day of protein plus vegetables. (A five-day protein then five-day protein-plus-vegetables plan is also an option). The oat bran recommendation rises slightly to 2 tablespoons.
You should lose at a rate of about 2 to 4 pounds per week, according to Dukan. You'll continue alternating until you reach your goal weight.
Consolidation: Now, the name of the game is keeping the pounds off. You're very vulnerable to weight regain, says Dukan, and the only option is a transition phase that lasts five days for every pound you've lost. That means dieters who've lost 20 to 40 pounds will stay in Consolidation between 100 to 200 days. The proteins and vegetables from the previous phases are still all-you-can-eat, but you can now mix them together as you please. Each day, you also get a serving of fruit, two slices of whole-grain bread and 1 1/2 ounces of cheese. Each week, you're also allowed two servings of starchy foods like pasta or quinoa, three specific protein indulgences (leg of lamb, roast pork and cooked ham), and one or two "celebration meals" where you can eat anything you want, provided you don't binge or have them back-to-back. The daily 2-tablespoon oat bran requirement stays.
You're still required to revert to the "pure-protein" Attack phase once per week.
Permanent Stabilization: Freedom! (Well, sort of.) You can now eat whatever you want six days out of the week, provided you don't abandon what you learned during Consolidation. And 3 daily tablespoons of oat bran is now a must. The seventh day is a purest-of-pure protein day that mirrors the Attack phase but restricts even more the acceptable foods list. As its name suggests, this phase is meant to last a lifetime.
In 2014, diet creator Pierre Dukan was removed from the French medical register for promoting the plan commercially, as reported by the Guardian.

How much does it cost?
Animal protein, vegetables and dairy products are pricey, especially if you're eating a lot of them – which you will be.
You can buy books like "The Dukan Diet" and "The Dukan Diet Made Easy." Plus, coaching is available for $29.95 per month.
Will you lose weight?
It's hard to say. No clinical trials have evaluated the Dukan Diet. An online survey of 1,525 people in 2010 reported that dieters lost, on average, 15 7/10 pounds after the first two phases.
How easy is it to follow?
How much do you like rules? If you want to be told exactly what to do – no matter the difficulty of the request – you'll appreciate the Dukan Diet's many guidelines. And while the restrictive phases are short, they are very restrictive, so don't underestimate the willpower you'll need.
Convenience: Recipes are abundant and simple. Eating out is allowed, but alcohol is banned during early phases of the diet. Some online support is offered. And ShopDukanDiet.com offers resources such as packaged food and supplements. An 8-ounce serving of Goji berries, for example, is $16.99.
Eating out: No problem, as long as you order from your approved-foods list. If you're in Attack, try steak with a side of shrimp. During Cruise, throw in some steamed veggies. Just make sure the chef doesn't add any oil – or worse – butter. If you're tempted by dessert, Dukan suggests ordering coffee or keeping a yogurt on hand to end your meal on a sweet note.
Alcohol: Off-limits until you reach the Consolidation phase when you can have a glass of wine or bottle of beer with your celebration meal.
Timesavers: None, unless you hire somebody to plan your meals, shop for them and prepare them.
Extras: Online forums and live chats connect you with other dieters and Dukan nutritionists. And for a fee, which varies based on your plan, you can get a personalized program and online weight-loss coaching. Prepackaged Dukan food that conforms to the diet is available online.
Fullness: Nutrition experts emphasize the importance of satiety, the satisfied feeling that you've had enough. You won't go hungry on Dukan. Protein is filling, and you don't have a calorie limit.
Taste: You're making everything, so if something doesn't taste good, you know who to blame. In the absence of many traditional condiments and oils, you'll want to make full use of the approved herbs and spices to enliven your meals.
Health Nutrition
If you want a healthy diet, look elsewhere, our panel concluded. The high amount of protein could lead to long-term health problems, and shutting out entire food groups poses a risk of nutritional deficiencies. Possible side effects include lethargy, bad breath and constipation.
What is the role of exercise?
It's required. Brisk walking is Dukan's exercise of choice – 20 minutes a day in Attack, 30 to 60 minutes in Cruise, 25 minutes in Consolidation and 20 minutes in Permanent Stabilization. Dukan also offers instruction on toning your stomach, thighs, arms and butt.

She thought it would be awesome to style me for the blog. I was surprised with the look, because I would never choose something that loose to wear for myself. The rule is: loose clothing make you look larger..right? But where's the fun in that? Jessie had a awesome vision: do you like the piece? Yes, well than you should wear it...simple as that!

Challenge for Gianna
Recently, after I mentioned the title of a book I had enjoyed ( One Day the Ice Will Reveal All Its Dead" by Clare Dudman), my friend Gianna said that she'd never heard of it. In fact, she insisted, she'd never heard of ANY of the books I talked about, and she accused me of making them up. So I thought I'd create a little challenge. I'm going to post a bunch of descriptions. Most will be of books that I've enjoyed (all released in the US, most from major publishers). One will not. Can you spot the thing that's not like the others? No fair Googling!
1. In an alternate, steampunk Victorian England, an opium-addicted special agent must help his assistant and the Queen's chief investigator to find a killer.
2. A secret service agent in love with a married woman gets involved with a covert baseball game between the Secret Service and the CIA, and falls into disfavor when he fails to stop the White House chef from serving Spam to the President and an honored guest.
3. Raleigh Hayes, an upstanding citizen of Thermopylae, N.C., and Mingo Sheffield, his needy next-door neighbor are on a two-week odyssey. They encounter a bizarre cast of characters during their adventures, including Raleigh's criminal half-brother Gates, his prison buddy Weeper Berg, and aging jazzman Toutant Kingstree. Their quest is to recapture Hayes's ailing father, who has escaped from the hospital with a young black woman in a recently-purchased Cadillac convertible, and who has left Raleigh a strange set of tasks to fulfill before a planned rendezvous in New Orleans.
4. Frank has built an elaborate device in a giant clock wherein a different death awaits the wasp put into it behind each number. He believes the death 'chosen' by the wasp predicts something about the future. He kills other animals as well, and uses their bodies to "protect" his territory. He occupies himself with his rituals and an array of weapons to control the island and occasionally gets drunk with his dwarf friend Jamie in the local pub. Frank's older brother Eric is in an insane asylum. He escapes and rings Frank from phone boxes informing him he is coming to visit.
5. A scientist in a surrealist society kidnaps children to steal their dreams, hoping that they slow his aging process. When his little brother is kidnapped, a strongman joins forces with a young girl to rescue the children.
6. A pilot for a cosmetics company crashes the company plane while having sex. This event causes him to be blacklisted from flying in the United States, so he accepts a lucrative offer from a doctor-missionary on a remote Micronesian island to transport cargo to and from the island and Japan. He moves to the island, along with a male Filipino transvestite navigator and a talking fruit bat.
7. When their traveling circus begins to fail, a couple devise an idea to breed their own freak show, using various drugs and radioactive material to alter the genes of their children. The results are a boy with flippers for hands and feet; Siamese twins; a hunchbacked albino dwarf; and the normal-looking baby of the family who has telekinetic powers.
8. Doug Hoover never liked work and he changed jobs and women frequently. Dissatisfied with his current life, he hooks up with Sue Jean and takes off. When he comes to the end of his journey, a wonderful town where everything costs a nickel, he realizes he has died and must decide whether or not to go back in another form. Some of the people he discusses this with are Billy the Kid, the Red Baron, and assorted Wild West and World War I aces. The heaven they are in has cars, dogs, cats, ribs, saloons, and sex.
9. Since the death of his young daughter, a successful children's book author has begun seeing the fantastical creatures from his book come to life. He's also being stalked by a lunatic who claims to be his biggest fan.
10. The president agrees to appear in a series of dangerous illusions for a magician. All seems well, but when the president dies mysteriously hours later, the magician has to flee the country. Pursued by hapless of FBI agents, he falls in love with a beautiful blind woman and confronts an old nemesis bent on destroying him.
11. Recovering from the death of his wife, Jack, an engineer living in Austin, Texas, meets and falls in love with Lily, a perfect beauty except, perhaps, for her wings and clawed bird-feet. Lily is the goddess of the moon and can meet Jack only when the moon is full, and then only if he awaits her outside, stark naked. When this requirement leads to his being arrested for indecent exposure, a motley crew of friends comes to his aid.
12. In the hospital recuperating from an attack by a rabid squirrel, Hap wonders why his best friend hasn't been by to visit. Turns out that Leonard, upset by his boyfriend leaving him, goes to the biker bar and beats Raul's new man up.When the biker turns up dead later that night, it doesn't take long to guess who the primary suspect is--especially with Leonard nowhere to be found. After Hap checks himself out of the hospital and finds Leonard hiding in his bed, they stumble onto a conspiracy involving gaybasher pornography and Leonard's ready to exact some vigilante justice.
13. A split-brained data processor is summoned by a deranged scientist and his granddaughter and told that the scientist has devised a perfect secret code by operating on the brains of selected computer workers. Alternating between these encounters with the scientist, the scientist's granddaughter, Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, and various thugs, librarians, subterranean monsters and bully-boys bent on finding out what he knows, there is the story of the ancient walled town at the end of the world.
14. In a near-future city, there's a private dick in a world where asking questions is taboo,leaving memory as his sole resource. Government-distributed mind-altering drugs are everywhere, and each citizen carries to keep track of his or her karma points. Most of the menial work is done by genetically engineered English-speaking, bipedal "evolved" animals, and a kangaroo is gunning for the detective.
15. A highly unorthodox detective and a conjurer by profession whose act has fallen on hard times has cracked some of the city's most notorious murders. Now, he's leading the investigation into a shadowy religious group aiming to overtake London and do away with its oppressive, bourgeois tendencies. His partner—a giant, milk-swigging mute—doesn't appear to be human at all, yet serves as the detective's moral as well as intellectual compass.
I'll post the book list after everyone has had a chance to guess.

July Reads
Summer is in full blast now (or should I say blast furnace), and any time spent outside causes me to wilt like the delicate flower that I am (shut up, Klaw). In times like this, the only thing that makes sense is to stay indoors and get to reading. 27 books make this month's list, ranging from silly, gross schoolday tales to true stories of some extraordinary women. Both The Tin Ticket and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks should not be missed and Margaret Atwood's In Other Worlds was a sheer pleasure to read. Fictionally, it's safe to say that I'm completely hooked on George Mann and can't wait to get my hands on The Osiris Ritual. For those keeping count, I think this brings my total to 173 books read since January. That's a lot of books!
Anderson, M.T. The Game of Sunken Places
Called to visit an eccentric uncle, 2 boys find themselves competing in a game that no one can (or will) explain. Some adventure, and a couple of likeable characters, but overall an unpleasant bunch of folks to spend time with.
Atwood, Margaret In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination
In this collection of essays and reviews about science fiction, Atwood proves herself to be an savvy writer, a deep reader, and a charming companion. Elegant and wide-ranging, insightful and humorous—it's a delight to spend time in Ms. Atwood's company.
Black, Holly & Justine Larbalestier Zombies vs. Unicorns
Back in 2007, Black and her co-editor Justine Larbalestier began an argument over the relative merits of unicorns (Black) and zombies (Larbalestier). This anthology is the culmination of that argument. The stories are good, but the joy of this anthology is the continual sniping between the editrixes before each story. Favorites include Naomi Novik's "Purity Test," Scott Westerfield's "Inoculata," Meg Cabot's "Princess Prettypants," and Libba Bray's "Prom Night."
Buford, Kate Native American Son: the Life and Sporting Legend of Jim Thorpe
Buford takes an in-depth look at the life of Jim Thorpe. She wades admirably through the layers of myth and legend and gives us a portrait of a greatly gifted man who was victimized by others, but who also caused or worsened many of his problems through his own behavior. Buford also gives a detailed portrait of Native American life at the turn of the century and the government and society's attitudes toward Native Americans.
Cremer, Andrea Nightshade
Teen werewolves, along with some other supernatural elements. It's a new spin on werewolves, and there's some interesting story going on. What there wasn't was any indication that this was "book 1 of some indeterminate number," so the complete non-ending was intensely irritating.
Durham, David Anthony The Sacred Band: Acacia, the War With the Mein 3
You know, until the little "The Story So Far" introduction, I had forgotten just how many plot threads were left dangling at the non-end of book 2. Re-connecting to the multitudinous characters and plot threads without a re-read is not easy, but the characters are so well done and the plot threads are so intriguing that you get all caught up in them anyway. I would have thought that it would take a much bigger book to bring things to a satisfying conclusion, but Durham manages very well. The story moves so fast it fairly sings, and the conclusion is extremely satisfying.
Irwin, Stephen M. The Dead Path
The first flat-out horror book that I've read in a while, The Dead Path really keeps you hooked. It's fast-moving and admirably creepy (and the book cover glows disturbingly in the dark). After a short stint in London, the bulk of the book takes place in Australia, and Irwin is adept at putting a plot that involves the highly British legends of the Green Man into the more rough-and-tumble Aussie language and setting. One thing—if you have a problem with spiders, you might want to give this one a pass. Seriously.
Kakalios, James The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics
It's no secret what drew me to this book: the subtitle is A Math-Free Exploration of the Science That Made Our World. Math-free? That's for me. Sadly, as Kakalios admits in his introduction, it's not really math-free, merely math-simple (as defined by a physicist). Still and all, it's an enjoyable read. Kakalios is a self-admitted nerd and geek, and he draws his examples and illustrations from comic books. He's got a very accessible, conversational style, and he's not above a bad pun or two. Do I understand quantum mechanics now? No. Am I closer to understanding quantum mechanics? Definitely.
Kinney, Jeff Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
Greg Heffley is back, and his problems haven't gotten any better. Greg's jokes all backfire, his schemes come apart, Rowley is more popular (especially with the girls), and his older brother Rodrick gets away with everything, including making Greg's life miserable. Do you think Greg will ever realize that 98% of the problems he faces are his own fault? Nah, probably not.
Knowlton, Nancy Citizens of the Sea
A compact compendium of facts about the ocean and its critters chock full of gorgeous photos and fascinating tales. Awesome!
Lockhart, E. The Boy Book
School has started up again, and Ruby Oliver is still a pariah. None of her former friends are speaking with her, she has no boyfriend, the whole school thinks she's a slut, and she's still seeing a shrink. When Kim (her former best friend) goes to Japan for a semester abroad, Jackson (Ruby's ex, who Kim stole) starts to get friendly again. Ruby tries to regain her friends, sort out her feelings for Jackson (and Angelo, and Noel) and get some kind of handle on her life. Ruby's not perfect, but she is funny and a delight to spend time with.
Mann, George The Affinty Bridge
Damn you, George Mann! Zombies & steampunk in the same book, and he makes me like it. The man has some kind of infenal powers. The inaugural adventures of Sir Maurice Newbury and Veronica Hobbes is an excellent introduction to the series. A series of murders in Whitechapel may or may not have supernatural origins, so Newbury is called in to investigate. In the middle of this case, the Queen calls him to the scene of a mysterious airship crash which has taken the life of a Dutch cousin. Things are odd at the crash site, with the pilot missing and the passengers perishing while tied to their seats. Is there a connection between the two cases? Zombies, automatons, a smattering of the occult, laudanum addiction, and the revelation that, unbeknownst to Newbury, Hobbes is also an agent of the Queen, hired to keep an eye on Newbury and his addictions.
Perez-Reverte, Arturo The Sun Over Breda
We finally see Captain Alatriste at war, as Spain tries to hold onto its martial glory in Flanders. Despite his worship of Alatriste and a boy's excitement about war, glory, and honor, Inigo learns that there is no glory in war, and honor only in those who fight unflinchingly, because that's what they said they would do.
Raskin, Ellen The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues
Mini-mysteries set inside a larger mystery. Lots of silliness and wordplay, but very dated.
Russell, Thaddeus A Renegade History of the United States
A very interesting way of looking at American history, and some truly fascinating information. But my interests do not coincide with Russell's, and where he spent pages I would have preferred paragraphs, and where he had a few paragraphs, I would have preferred pages. The radical notion that Russell proposes is that democracy isn't about freedom; in fact, it's often more repressive than other systems of government, but the repression comes from the individuals rather than the government. He also takes pains to point out the freedoms we enjoy today that would not have been possible without prostitutes, drunkards, and organized crime. Fascinating stuff.
Sachar, Louis There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom
Bradley Chalkers is the boy everyone avoids, students and teachers alike. He's weird, he's mean, he doesn't do homework, and he doesn't have friends. But then he meets the school counselor, Carla, and discovers what it's like to not be judged and to not have to hate all the time. It's a quick read, with a lot of humor, and Bradley Chalkers will charm your socks off and break your heart.
Schroder, Monika Saraswati's Way
Akash has a gift for math, but his family is in debt and cannot afford to continue his schooling. When his father dies, his grandmother gives him to the man who holds their debt, who forces Akash to work at his quarry. When the first payday comes, Akash's abilities allow him to see that he will never be able to work off the debt, so he runs away. Falling in with a gang of street kids, Akash finds himself challenged: exactly how far is he willing to go to earn the money for tutoring? Fast-moving, and Akash is certainly likeable, although you never really get the sense that he won't succeed.
Skloot, Rebecca The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
When Henrietta Lacks, poor and black, went to the doctor because of pain, a doctor took a sample of her cancer cells without asking her (or even telling her). Henrietta died, quickly and in great pain, and for her family, that was the end of it. For doctors, however, the story was only beginning, because Henrietta's cells lived on, becoming the first strain of cells hardy enough for testing and experiments. Doctors, hospitals, and labs around the world made great breakthroughs (and, not incidentally, a ton of money), while Henrietta's family couldn't even afford health insurance. Skloot covers issues of privacy and ownership and scientific gain, but the heart of this story is Henrietta's family, cut off and wounded, and their rediscovery of their mother.
Starr, Douglas The Killer of Little Shepherds
Although certainly not the first serial killer, Joseph Vacher was the first to be caught using what we would think of as the modern tools of criminal investigation: careful autopsy, scientific testing, profiling, and correlation of data from different areas. Vacher was an odd and interesting killer, but the real fascinating stuff here is the birth of modern forensics and the personalities involved in it. Good read!
Stine, R.L. Rotten School 4: Lose, Team Lose
Early chapter book for kids with no supernatural bits and no horror (except for the gross-out factor of frequent hurling or a gassy bulldog). Bernie tries to turn around the football team's losing season and ends up having to spend time with Jennifer Ecch, who's totally, horribly in love with him. Light and funny with some terrible puns (i.e., Coach Manly Bunz).
Stine, R.L. Rotten School 5: Shake, Rattle, and Hurl
Bernie schemes to win the school talent show by using Chipmunk, the shyest kid in school. Fast-moving shenannigans and a hero who just won't quit.
Stine, R.L. Rotten School 6: The Heinie Prize
Bernie's slave, er, friend Belzer gets a letter telling him his parents are tired of hearing about Bernie, so they're going to pull him out of school. Unwilling to loses a well-trained slave, Bernie pulls out all the stops to make sure Belzer wins the Heinie Prize for outstanding student.
Swiss, Deborah J. The Tin Ticket
Just prior to the reign of Queen Victoria, the British government attempted to solve two of its problems (the threat of losing its Australian colonies due to a lack of colonists and a massive underclass of working poor forced to steal simply to survive) by transporting its prisoners to the far-flung colonies and forcing them to serve their time there. Some 25,000 of these transportees were women (their dependent children were often transported, too), most convicted of petty theft. Their lives in Britain were miserable and cruel, prison was worse, the transport itself was dangerous, and the life awaiting them was no improvement. Swiss uses the stories of a few women to illustrate the whole situation, and does a remarkable job. It's impossible to read about these women's lives and not be moved by their sheer stubborn survival. Awesome book.
Thomas, Scarlett Our Tragic Universe
Intricate character detail and some heady science and philosophy about heaven, hell, and the nature of existence weakened by an insistence that, if a novel has a plot, it is generic and somehow inherently less (artistic, literary, worthy) than one solely concerned with ideas.
Tolan, Stephanie S. Surviving the Applewhites
Jake Semple has been thrown out of every school he's been put into, the last time, it's rumored, for burning the school down. As a last ditch effort, he's sent to the Applewhites, a disgustingly creative family (mom's a writer, dad's a director, the kids are dancers, sculptors, etc.) whose kids are given free reign over their own education. E.D., the only non-artistic Applewhite, is also the only Applewhite who cares about schedules, organization, school, & she & Jake clash from the start. There's a lot of humor in the Applewhite's chaotic household, but there are a lot of jerks, too. Everyone is selfish, forgetful, and neglectful, and dad's an outright jackass. Sure, they all pull together to put on a show out in the barn, but you never get a sense that they have any idea just how awful they've been to Jake, to E.D., and especially to 4-year old Destiny.
Trevino, Elizabeth Borton de I, Juan de Pareja
Juan de Pareja was born a slave in 17th century Spain. When his mistress died, he was sent with the rest of her goods to her nephew, the painter Diego Velasquez. Despite their differences in station, the two men become friends, and eventually Juan becomes an artist in his own right, despite it being illegal to teach a slave any of the arts. Very interesting story, with a lot of detail about life in Spain and Italy during that time.
Yovanoff, Brenda The Replacement
Mackie Doyle is an outcast at school—too pale, eyes too dark, sickly, faints at the sight of blood. He hates being different, but the thing is, he IS different. Mackie Doyle isn't really Mackie Doyle at all—he's a replacement, left behind when the real Mackie was taken away, never to be seen again. Kids have always gone missing in Gentry, but now it's the little sister of a girl Mackie likes and he's determined to get her back. Along the way he meets his own people and discovers the dark secret that links his people and the town of Gentry.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (July 18, 2017) -- The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay is happy to announce the 2017 Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl Grant Award Winners. The diocese is a co-sponsor of the annual CRS Rice Bowl collection held every year during Lent.
"Through our parishioner's prayers, generosity, and sacrifice, we are able to provide assistance through literacy programs, translation services, and emergency relief within our diocese and throughout the world," said Eric Weydt, Catholic Social Justice Coordinator for the Diocese of Green Bay and diocesan program coordinator of CRS Rice Bowl.
This year's recipients are:
CRS Rice Bowl is a program of prayer, fasting, learning, and giving to help address the challenges of hunger and poverty around the world. Twenty-five percent of the money collected through diocesan parishes is reserved for local use. This year, $13,000 was awarded to agencies at the local level to meet the basic material needs of immigrant and refugee people in northeastern Wisconsin.
The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay works to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ by helping people in need and by providing academic, leadership and spiritual formation opportunities to parish and school leaders. Established in 1868, the Diocese is composed of 324,000 Catholics in 16 counties: Brown, Calumet, Door, Florence, Forest, Kewaunee, Langlade, Manitowoc, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Outagamie, Shawano, Waupaca, Waushara and Winnebago.

Lots of posts to write (the parkfield earthquake, the early evolution of tenure, science in the national parks, self censurship), but tonight I think I will take on a realtive short one - Road Kill.
In driving around Westchester County these days, my completely unscientific monitoring indicates that road kill is up by a bunch. I am pretty sure I saw a coyote (not wylie enough) by the Taconic on Saturday as well as a hawk (rather ruffled) further up the road. Mostly though it has been an increase in the number of racoons (big ones) and squirrels. (I hit a possum a week or so ago, my first known kill.) Haven't seen many dead skunks in the middle of the road or elsewhere for that matter.
So the question is - Why the increase? Is it seasonal? (I think yes). My guess (yes it is a guess, not an estimate) is that it has to do with increased foraging activity in preparation for the coming winter. It would be easy to explain my not having observed this before because I didn't have a girlfriend that lived in the country before this year. (well that depends on how you count - I was working on having one last year at this time, but we hadn't gotten to the point where I could make observatons about road kill).
A few other observations on the megafauna upstate. There are a lot of deer! They are bold, but 9-14 year old girls don't like me to throw rocks at them to send them out of the yard; however, they will volunteer to chase them. There are reports of black bears - they have definitely returned to Black Rock Forest. I expect it was wolves that kept the deer in check and they are definitely not prowling the backyards of Westchester County. I have heard coyotes in the dusk.
I don't really know what to think about what would amount to the predator / prey relations of an ecosystem such as Westchester, especially the lands surrounding the reservior system. It certainly looks to me like automobiles are a postive factor with respect to controlling the vermin population. I doubt that they are enough of a factor to replace whatever other predators might have done, but I really don't know. With respect to the deer, a top predator is definitely needed. Humans could be that too, but the 9-14yo girl factor is a real problem.
Zora is completely saturated with my scientific lessons (although she was intrigued when I suggested I could show her how to make up data; but then lost interest when I started adding error to our invented points) - so I am having to really bite my tonge with respect to her assigned evaporation experiment. I haven't discussed road kill with her.

Information & Inspection Powers: Information notices: Identification notice: Conditions
An authorised officer must check whether four conditions are satisfied before they can issue an identification notice to a third party.
Condition A
The information must be reasonably required by the officer for the purpose of checking the tax position of the person, and that tax position must be for a tax to which Schedule 36 applies, see CH21540. The officer must therefore know what tax is being checked even if the tax position that is being checked is only a risk.
See CH21620 for guidance on what we mean by 'reasonably required'. Additionally, where an overseas tax authority has requested information and told us the tax position they are investigating, that is normally enough to make the information reasonably required.
Condition B
The officer
- does not know the identity of the person, but
- holds information that can be used to identify the person.
Condition C
The officer must have reason to believe that
- the third party will be able to ascertain the person's identity from the information held by the officer, and
- the third party obtained the relevant information about the person in the course of carrying on a business.
Condition D
The person's identity cannot be readily ascertained by other means from information that is held by the officer.
See CH227500 for operational guidance on identification notices. If you wish to issue an identification notice to obtain the identity of more than one person, or a class of persons, you must refer the case to Tax Administration, Litigation and Advice (TALA) before you issue the notice.

One person was killed and four injured on January 11 as Toyota Rav4 moving from the Sughd province to Dushanbe fell into a 150-meter precipice in the Varzob district, according to the Interior Ministry's official website.
The accident reportedly took place on the 72nd kilometer of the Dushanbe-Khujand-Chanak highway at 12 o'clock in the noon.
The driver and his four passengers sustained serious injuries and were taken to a hospital. One of the passengers – 68-yer-old woman from the Panjakent district – died in the hospital from the injuries she sustained in the accident.

Anyone who has suffered through a mental illness knows all too well that it is not something you just "get over" or "snap out" of. Mental illness is real and tangible suffering.
Need proof? Here is a link to a very excellent science blog that lists hundreds of recent studies, tests and trials that scientists are working on around the world: The Neuroscience of Borderline Personality Disorder.
The more research that is done on BPD and other psychiatric conditions, the more that science is unfolding the physiological structures of the brain that contribute to their symptoms.
From the bits and pieces I've read so far, when it comes to BPD symptoms, the overwhelming trends are prefrontal cortex and amygdala dysfunction relating to structure and reactivity.
When we talk about balancing Emotion Mind with our Reasonable Mind - in order to use both and be in our Wise Mind - it's possible to understand the regions of the brain that affect each.
Studies are able to show BPDs often have a smaller and hyperreactive amygdala. This is the organ in the brain that plays a crucial role in emotional learning, memory and responses.
It's even been demonstrated that the larger your amygdala, the larger and more complex your social circle is likely to be. This doesn't mean that BPDs are unpopular, but rather that we are more likely to struggle with emotional activities like intense social interactions, and so perhaps do them less.
The prefrontal cortex of the brain (essentially the forehead part) is responsible for the type of executive-level thinking that makes us humans as opposed to just cavemen by giving us the ability to visualise what is not physically visible - for example, the future consequences of making a decision. This means you need this part of the brain to work well in order for decision making, planning, moderating social and emotional behaviours, impulse control and goal setting.
Research in this area has shown that BPDs often demonstrate difficulty in getting parts of the prefrontal cortex to coordinate with other parts of the brain, especially the amygdala.
Generally speaking, this means it's possible to see on MRI scans the physical aspect of the struggle between Emotion Mind and Reasonable Mind when someone with BPD is emotionally triggered.
While it might be some time before we fully understand the neuropathophysiologic (yes, that's a word apparently!) basis of BPD, there is no doubt as to its existence, and no one should ever be made to feel that their mental health is any less "real" that their physical health.

|Signing of the Constition
by Thomas Rossiter c. 1860
Just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump. Donald J. Trump - rally in Toledo, OH, 10/27/2016
This was something of a German shepherd whistle, a dog whistle, to sort of the, a certain group in the United States... Al Franken, CNN State of the Union (minute 2:53)11/06/2016
And for the record, James Comey should be fired. He violated the Hatch Act. Didn't matter which candidate was being skewered. He violated the Hatch Act. And he knew he was violating the Hatch Act because any lawyer in Washington would've advised him that he was about to violate the Hatch Act. The bullshit was lobbed over the wall and whether or not there was a gram of truth in it (there was not) the damage was done. That was intentional. And that was a clear violation of the Hatch Act.
Are we all clear on that now?
G-d bless America. We need it.

These 2 AL West rivals have already met this season with the Mariners taking 2 of 3 from the Rangers in Texas in the season opening series.
While the Mariners took the opening series they are coming off being swept by the Oakland A's in their last series.
Texas had won 2 straight before losing their last game.
In their last games the Rangers lost to the L.A. Angels 3-1 and the Mariners lost to the Oakland A's 2-1.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers were decimated by injuries last season and that has continued this season with Shin-Soo Choo out for around a month and Robinson Chirinos will be out over 2 months.
2015 Minor League Player of the Year Nomar Mazra will get his chance to start with the injury to Choo and in his Major League debut in the 3-1 loss to the Angels he was 3-4 and accounted for the only run with a HR.
Colby Lewis (0-0 4.50) gets the 2nd start against the Mariners this season and in the first one he gave up 3 runs in 6 innings of work in a 9-5. He has not had much success against Seattle going 1-4 with an ERA of 5.00 and giving up 10 HR in his last 7 starts facing them.
The Rangers have lost 12 of their last 17 games facing a team with a losing record with Lewis on the hill.
The Rangers are 2-2 on the road this season.
Seattle Mariners
After blowing up for 19 runs in the 2 games after the season opener the Mariners' bats struggled in being swept by the A's only scoring a total of 4 runs in the 3 game series.
Robinson Cano hit 4 HR in the opening series against the Rangers, but in the Oakland series he was only 2/12 with 1 extra base hit. Still, he has hit in 11 straight games facing the Rangers where he is batting .341.
Hisashi Iwakuma gets the start tonight and in his first start of the season facing the Mariners he did not get a decision after going 5 innings and giving up 2 runs in a 10-2 win. Before that game he had won 6 straight against Texas and in his last 12 starts facing them he is 8-1 with an ERA of 2.87.
Seattle has won 5 of their last 6 home games facing the Rangers with Iwakuma on the hill.
Both of these teams are tied for 13th in the Majors in runs scored. However, 19 of the 25 runs the Mariners have scored this season came in 2 games in the season opening series against the Mariners.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Rangers are 3-7 in their last 10 overall.
- Rangers are 1-4 in their last 5 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.
- Rangers have an Over record of 8-2 in their last 10 games after a loss.

The Mariners did get swept in their last series, but they will get back in the W column as Iwakuma will continue to pitch well against Texas and he will lead Seattle to the win.

Sony is hoping to entice more users to take advantage of its PlayStation Mobile platform today by offering 6 weeks of free games from its PlayStation Store. Every 7 days for the next 6 weeks Sony will make one game from its PlayStation Store available for download free of charge, hoping that once the promotion ends more users will stick around and use its store. This promotion is only available in select countries -- Japan, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Australia to be exact -- leaving U.S. users out in the cold for now, but this at least shows that Sony is willing to put some marketing behind its storefront.
This offer will only be useful if you have a PlayStation Certified device, which unfortunately doesn't encompass that many phones at this point. There's a full list of compatible devices at the second source link below, but it's primarily just a listing of Sony phones with a few recent HTC models thrown in. If you're interested in the first game that will be offered, Samurai Beatdown, you can see its game trailer after the break.

Publisher Blurb:
A Game of Steampunk Adventure
Brass & Steel is a hybrid paper and pencil RPG, which blends elements of tabletop and LARP play, and can be used exclusively for either style of gaming, as a given group chooses. The game is set in a version of our own Earth where technology works a bit strangely, and where certain paranormal powers operate as well. Arcanists command elemental forces through willpower and dangerous chemical concoctions, while airships cruise the skies powered by ferociously energetic Hotaether and held aloft by the power of Slack (another technological marvel!) and lucid dreamers explore the mysteries of the dream realms, where they can pluck secrets from the shadows of other's daydreams and imaginations.
The game world itself features a tense geopolitical tussle between two major power blocks, as well as the final and most dangerous phases of European imperialism. Player characters can adventure in the capitals of the great powers, or in cities at the edges of empire, where powers clash and intrigue is never more than a whispered conversation or stolen secret away. Our initial focus is on the city of Constantinople, where the two great alliances jostle for position, and Greeks and Turks alike harbor ambitions and resentments. Also, there are attractive people in goggles.

Patriarch Delly in France
Patriarch Dally III, Chaldean Patriarch of Babylon
Posted by Hello
After meeting with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI and visiting Italy and Germany, on His first European tour since his patriarchal ordination, our beloved patriarch His Beatitude Mar Emmanuel III Delly, the Chaldean Patriarch of Babylon has arrived to Paris as his third European station.
He was received by the President of France: Mr. Jack Chirac, along with his staff:
- Bishop Shlemoon Warduni (Auxiliary bishop for the diocese of Baghdad),
- Msgr. Phillip Najim (The Patriarchal Procurator for the Holy See), and
- Msgr. Petrus Yousif (The Patriarchal Procurator in France).
After finishing his first European "Pastoral Visit," his beatitude Mar Emmanuel will be heading to America to visit the Chaldean community of America. This community is the second largest Chaldean community in the world after the mother country Iraq. Chaldeans of America has two dioceses: St. Tomas (for the eastern states) and of St. Peter (for the western once). The approximate number of Chaldeans living in America is around 200,000. After His visit to America, His Beatitude will terminate his tour by visiting Australia and New Zealand.

Removing stain from fiberglass shower pan / There's even a trick to keeping it clean
Q:I hope you can suggest something that will remove a stubborn stain from my fiberglass shower pan. I have used a product called Zap, X14 and a few others to no avail. Can you help me? Thank you.
A: Fiberglass -- a plastic resin reinforced with glass fibers used today in everything from shower pans like yours to skylights -- is, as you've surely noticed, easily scratched. So we'll need to be careful cleaning here.
Once scratched, fiberglass becomes harder to clean, as you've clearly found in attempting to get rid of your shower pan's stubborn stain. Your best cleaning bet is a neutral (generally a pH between 7 and 9) cleaner, such as liquid dishwashing detergent, applied with a white, nylon-back scrub sponge. Add hot water and a bit of elbow grease and the stains should be lifted in no time.
Finally, to prevent future stains from grabbing a toehold, lightly wax the fiberglass with car wax. Really. This sealant will close surface pores that allow stains to set in fiberglass and will make buff-shine like new. Be sure to use a rubber bath math so you won't go slip-sliding away in your newly stain-free shower.

I just about had it with politicians of all stripes (and I mean all stripes) wittering on about how all we need is some new kind of capitalism: "caring", "moral", "responsible". And how, on those occasions when blame is actually being doled out to neo-liberal capitalism, all of the problems are somehow down to the "casino" or "crony" varieties.
The implication, usually unstated but sometimes overt, is that with the right degree of moral fibre, capitalism can right itself and sail us all into a bright future. Even now after all that's happened in the world, the suggestion that it might perhaps need regulation, or some other form of oversight, is quickly dismissed, even by those politicians ostensibly in favour of "big government" (or painted as such).
Which, isn't perhaps entirely unrealistic given that it wasn't just a failure of the markets that got us to where we are today, but a wider failure of mechanisms that were in place - or were believed to be in place - to protect us. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to baulk before installing new control mechanisms, since the last set comprehensively failed to do what they were supposed to.
Arguably - and, boy, has it been argued by those at the lunatic end of the neo-liberal spectrum - the very intervention of government regulation in the markets makes them unstable by disrupting "natural" checks and balances that should otherwise allow plain sailing with nary a hand on the economic tiller. Wide-eyed, they baldly harangue that if only the markets had been left alone, none of this would have happened.
This line is superficially seductive, since it appeals to the idea of corporations being prudent - and therefore self-correcting - when there's no-one waiting to bail them out. But the necessary drive for constant (cancerous) growth constantly shoals vision to immediate, short-term gain at the expense of longer-term wisdom. And the propensity for businesses to conglomerate towards monopolies acts to destroy competition. Leaving businesses entirely to their own devices is simply not plausible.
More importantly - "caring", "moral", "responsible" - these are terms that don't even faintly match either the reality of business, or traits that are likely to prove successful in business. Businesses that adopt these will simply lose out to those businesses that don't. People can high-mindedly argue that the moral consumer will choose better behaved businesses, but the importance of the bottom line, especially in our currently stretched times, is difficult to overstate. How much more would you pay for the same service from a (more) moral corporation?
All of which is a round-about way of getting back to where I originally intended to come in here. Namely, businesses need regulation, if not to keep them in line then to keep their less scrupulous rivals in check. Obviously, such regulation needs careful tuning to avoid becoming needlessly onerous, and it should perpetually be open to revision, but its absence, or its trimming back, doesn't come cost-free.
The idea that it can be any other way, that we can rely on business having a moral sense that is aligned with our personal moral compasses, is flatly ridiculous. But this is the vision currently being articulated by the leaderships of our three main parties. Sure, they have their differences, but they're just subtle variants of the same message: business knows best. And while business does know best in many aspects of its operation, we should not be lulled into thinking that, if we really do wish morality and justice to be the outcome of its actions, that business can provide us with the solution.

C. Pedemonte | Northern VA | 08/14/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This novela is one of the best for teenagers who enjoy them. I am sure you will be satisfied and get hooked just like I have. If you like this product then I definitely recommend Rebelde (1a,2nda, and 3ra temporada!)."
(1 out of 5 stars)
"i got really excited when i sad the dvds on sale i purchased both of the movies but it came to my surprise that the novela was incomplete there's four seasons and only the first two are available the rest i guess they won't be making them anymore or i don't think they were created in the first place that's a really turn down so i recommend not to buy them."
Telenovela summary
Germangel Andino | El Salvador | 03/20/2009

"This is a great summary of and actual Telenovela, with over 14 hours of video, its not the full thing, but a good summary, that follows the main story lines and the main characters"
What is the difference?

"What is the difference between this novela(segunda temporada) and the other one that is the same segunda temporada? They both say the same title but different cover?"

A course will be given on how to build an outdoor Acadian Bread Oven by Arnold Smith at the Farmers' Bank of Rustico (2188 Church Road Rustico) on Saturday June 8th starting at 9:00 am.
The session will feature a hands on demonstration and participation in building a full sized bread oven which will replace the one now existing at the Doucet House. As well, a lunch which will be cooked in the traditional way in the stone fireplace of the Doucet House will be served to participants.
Admission: $50.00 per person - $80.00 per couple.
Book your ticket at email@example.com or call Theresa Gallant at 963-2997.

They have conducted considerable research into 17th and 18th-Century Acadian building techniques.
First you mix sand, brick clay, marsh grass and water and shape them in to cobs, once they have rested for a bit then you can start to shape the bread oven.
The first fire to bake the clay - then its ready to make bread.

Over the next few days I'm going to be posting some of my favorite reviews for the Angels of the night series.
Take a few minutes and visit vampireromancebooks.com for some other wonderful reviews! Thanks Rhonda!!
Angels of the Night: Discovery is an amazing debut book in the Angels of the Night series. Kennedy draws you in with brilliant characters and the mysterious world of Free Masons and Vampires. The story was intriguing from the very beginning and at no point became predictable. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the author would surprise me with a new twist in the story. Even though this book is tagged as a Young Adult, I wouldn't suggest it for someone under the age of 17. While there are no completed sexual encounters, there are scenes that get pretty steamy and there are emotional aspects to the story that are more suitable to an adult's perspective. The conversations and interactions between Allison Webber and the sexy vampire twins, Darcy and Thane Wallace, are a key element and bring you into the story making it easy to put yourself into their shoes. Or maybe that was just me wanting to be in Allison's shoes.
Angels of the Night will appeal to any vampire romance lover no matter if you normally read in the Adult genre or Young Adult genre. This book will stay with you long after the last page and have you waiting anxiously for the next installment in the Angels of the Night series.

Why You Could Be Shopping for Your Next Mattress on a Boat
Forget shopping for a mattress in a showroom… Why not test one out on a boat? This weekend, sleep startup Casper is eschewing the traditional gimmicky sales we usually see over Labour Day weekend and taking potential customers on a Labour Day sail instead. That's right: Across North America—in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Toronto—Casper is inviting consumers to spend Monday afternoon on a sailboat in their city's waters with an open bar, passed hors d'oeuvres, and, of course, a cushy memory and latex foam mattress to test out while they enjoy the cruise.
This is just one of the unique ways the direct-to-consumer brand—which is funded by Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Levine, Tobey Maguire, and Ashton Kutcher—is reaching the mattress-seeking market. Its Los Angeles "showroom" is a sleek modern house in the Hollywood Hills with 180-degree views of the city that one could only describe as "baller."
Next year, how about we try aeroplanes, Casper?
Tickers for the sail are $30 and available at Casper.com.
What kind of mattress do you like to sleep on? Tell us below.
