Friendly punk pop not found much in music today
Scott Marceau | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | 01/20/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Peach Tree is a fine punk pop cd with tons of vocal and musical hooks. The cd will remind many of the days when the Descendents rulled punk rock, and is worth noting that Bill Stevenson and Stephan Egerton produced and mixed it in the Blastin Room. This album will definatley bring joy to those that are looking for great pop and an alternative to stale alternative music."
Peach Tree is the best album I've ever heard
Scott Marceau | 08/24/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Peach Tree by Pollen is the best album I have ever heard. Peach Tree is a mood making album. It can cheer you up when you need it, pump you up for a big day, or lull you to sleep. It's intense lyrics can be hard to follow unless you listen to the album endlessly, but there is something about it's mysterious words that pull you in and wrap you up in the music. Peach Tree is the only ablum I have ever been able to listen to non-stop. I never tire of it."

SuperSport United Bidvest Wits PSL Absa Premiership match report
Posted: 29 November 2016 Time: 18:12
SuperSport United extended their unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions with a 2-0 league victory over title rivals Bidvest Wits at Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday night.
Bafana Bafana defender Clayton Daniels and in-form striker Thabo Mnyamane both struck in the second half in Nelspruit.
United consequently joined Wits on 20 points - a point behind log leaders Cape Town City, who drew 1-1 with ten-man Kaizer Chiefs on the same evening.
Wits winger Daine Klate threatened 10 minutes in, flashing a shot wide against his former team after being set up by fellow ex-Matsatsantsa ace Elias Pelembe.
At the other end, Mnyamane tested goalkeeper Darren Keet with a half-volley on the half-hour mark following a cross by Aubrey Modiba.
The Students nearly stole ahead in the 35th minute, but Eleazar Rodgers' looping header was kept out by Reyaad Pieterse after a floated setpiece from Klate.
SuperSport mentor Stuart Baxter made a change at the break, bringing on industrious midfielder Michael Morton for Reneilwe Letsholonyane, while Wits counterpart Gavin Hunt kept things as is.
The visitors had an early chance in the second period, but Hellings Mhango drilled his shot straight at a grateful Pieterse.
Pelembe tried his luck soon after as he skied an effort for the Clever Boys.
Daniels then drew first blood in the 64th minute following a goalmouth scramble.
Ben Motshwari threatened a swift equaliser as his 66th minute strike triggered a stop from the alert Pieterse.
However, Mnyamane doubled Matsatsantsa's advantage four minutes later from a free-kick for his fourth league goal of the season.
Both sides had chances in the latter stages through the likes of Mnyamane, Wits debutant Siboniso Gaxa and Students attacker Mogakolodi Ngele.

A unique twist to the mundane wedge is perfectly exhibited here by the ultimate heel mastermind, Giuseppe Zanotti, of course. Containing all of the staple Zanotti features such as a) a very high heel, b) signature wedge style, and c) glamour in every shape and form! What I love about this shoe is the versatility and ability to style these for day or evening wear. For instance, Kim K. looks absolutely fantastic in these wedges. Whether she wears them with a casual pair of distressed jeans or flowy dresses she looks very polished and chic. Though the must-haves are sold out, fear not because we found an identical pair to match these!

Honestly, I can't spot much of a difference; however, the price variation is extremely distinguishable. In terms of color, these are a bit darker than the Woven Raffia wedges and are also available in nude and leopard print. As for details, I absolutely love the zipper detail on the back! Don't miss out on these beautiful shoes!

For those who couldn't make the festival, or who didn't get around to reading this year's awesome program, here's a re-print of my article.
Ever since Sex, Lies and Videotape, scored a big distribution deal at Robert Redford's little pet project in Park City in 1989, the term "Industry," when related to film festivals, has come to mean one thing – distribution. Yes, there is currently an argument that distributors aren't as important as they used to be, given online video on demand, etc. etc., blah, blah, blah.
I would never make that argument. One need only see the thousands of unfiltered submissions to Dances With Films to know that gatekeepers play a vital role in the arts. You as the audience do not want to be exposed to the dirt from which the gems are uncovered, believe me!
But something is lost when "The Industry" only includes distributors. At Dances With Films we know that not every movie screened here is ready for a wide, commercial distribution, but there is something about each movie – be it the direction, the cast, the photography, the script, the production value, something about each of these films that stands out above the rest.
When you watch Less and you realize that actors Zak Barnett and Rebecca Noon have you believing in an impossible love, and that Gabriel Diamond's words are pitch-perfect, then you'll know what I'm talking about. When you discover Jeff Gill, Adam Soule and actor-techie Gary Henoch in The Aristocrat – which also as fantastic dialogue – then you'll feel pride in the discovery you made.
When you see Charlie Anderson's photography in Close-Up you'll want to hire him for your next film. When you see the kids Caitlin Kinnunen and Joseph Montes in Sweet Little Lies, you won't be able to stop grinning. Evald Johnson's agile comedy in Stan will have you pulling for the everyman.
The cast and script of The Corridor. The comedy of Hopelessly in June. The smokin' hot intellectual erotica of Mortem, along with the talent of their cast. The "OMG, I just saw what kids'll be into in the next two years" feeling of Night of the Alien.
Rachel Boston.
Zack Parker's twists and turns in Scalene. Jamie Greenberg's mastery of comedy in Stags. The warmth of Love's Kitchen. The camp of Millennium Bug.
And that's just SOME of the features. Never mind the heart wrenching importance of docs like Certain Proof, or the cavalcade of talent in the shorts programs. I could go on and on.
For those of us in this business, the point is not so much to hit it big with one movie, but to keep working. In order for that to happen, casting directors, development executives, below-the-line agents, production houses, production executives, and yes, distributors of narratives and documentaries need to see our work. A discovery festival like DWF is a great place for that to happen. So, let's get away from this idea that The Industry means distributors alone. Let's remember; success can be a Director of Photography getting a job that pays, or a writer being hired to punch up some dialogue, or an actor that gets a more visible role.
Giant steps are great, but they come once a decade or so. If we take human-sized steps, we can cover that ground just as fast.

This barn wood porch swing was a birthday gift for my mom. Colleen and I worked on this project together.
Once again starting out at my lumber stash. Bench was made out of 4×4's on each corner with 2×4's connecting everything.
Each joint is a mortise and tenon, once again no screws or nails were used in this build.
Once all the joints were cut and fitted it was time for the glue-up. Lots of clamps and an extra set of hands were used to get it all locked down before the glue started to dry.
Plywood was installed for the base.
Next, I spent months searching for two matching pullings used in barns. We hung the bench with hemp rope as shown in the picture above.
Then we hung the swing in the patio and colleen finished it off with the perfect touch; sewing all of the pillows. It was a rewarding process getting to work together on a project. We look forward to many more to come

Common Guidance for the Identification of HCV
Over the past couple of years FSC has been working with others to provide Guidance on the High Conservation Value (HCV) concept with a focus on forests. With the help of the HCV Resource Network and others we produced a draft set of guidance, which was available as of June 2012.
Since then Proforest (Ellen Brown), on behalf of the HCV Resource Network, has been working on an updated guidance document for HCV identification across different ecosystems and land uses (not just forests and related ecosystems). This draft was sent out for a final round of consultation.
As a member of the HCV Network and the originator of the HCV concept, FSC was assisting this consultation by reaching out to networks, and in particular HCV practitioners – people who are conducting HCV assessments and who need to make decisions on what is or is not an HCV, based on best available data and stakeholder consultation.
After the consultation period, a final draft of the guidance has been approved and can be now consulted following this link.
Please note that this guidance is only focused on identification of HCVs and not on the broader issues of management to maintain and enhance HCVs. Guidance on management will be produced specific to FSC requirements and will be further refined and consulted in due course.

Fire in the Office.. Run.. Run.. Run..
I work in a corporate organization where we have a fire drill conducted once in six months. The alarms would ring and we all would aimlessly walk out of the emergency exits. Most of us are happy that we won't have to do work for at least an hour. The funniest bit was that they would inform the physically challenged employees earlier and get them out before the drills starts. I'm curious to know what these people are going to do when an actual fire occurs in the building.
Originally uploaded by superlocal

We all assemble outside and the drill sergeant would ramble on and on about the importance of safety and what all precautions we should take. I don't think anyone listens.
It is really funny to see new employees accidently open the emergency doors and the alarm would blare. At that point they all wish they could just melt away. The expression on their faces are priceless.
An incident happened to me where it all started with a flicker. The tube light above me was flickering . I was contemplating whether to call the admin and report the matter but I sort of got used to it and felt very trance like. After some time the tube fused out but the filament was a bright orange. Soon I started smelling smoke and I look up to find out the filament was on fire and it was slowly spreading. By this time everyone sitting in and around me noticed the fire and were all hyperventilating. People started unplugging laptops and moving away. Couple of people ran to get the fire extinguishers to put it out. In the mean time the electrician had reached the scene, he climbed up my desk, stood on his toes and went 'Phooo' and put the fire out. The people who had come with the extinguishers felt so stupid ( I guess they were thinking 'WTF!!!'). The so called fire was put off in a way like how someone would blow off birthday candles.
News of the so called fire had spread in the office and people were coming up to me to asking whether anyone got hurt and was there any serious damages. I was so tempted to embellish the incident like how was rescued by the cute hunk of a fire fighter but I came to my senses and realized that it is India and there aren't cute firemen.

One of my favorite places to visit in the fall is my parent's house. My mom is a modern Martha Stewart and she always decorates the house for Halloween and fall. I love her style-she has such a great eye for detail. I always feel like I'm walking into a cozy photo shoot where I simply want to sit down with a cup of tea-and luckily, I actually do get to do this. There's something so wonderful about coming home, no matter how old you are.
Here are a couple of the decorations she currently has up: I hope they provide you with some fall/Halloween decoration inspiration! :)
Have a great rest of the weekend lovelies!
PS. How adorable is my "little" brother and his girlfriend? I couldn't help but throw a couple pics of them in...

The LCH programme took off in early 2003 when the IAF 'verbally' pledged three billion rupees to HAL for designing and developing the helicopter over a 24-month period. The 5.5-tonne, twin-engined LCH at that time was conceptualised as being optimised for all-weather observation and counter-insurgency operations at high altitudes. It would also be armed and equipped with weapons and nose-mounted mission sensors to intercept unmanned aerial vehicles, escort heliborne special operations forces, provide offensive firepower for ground operations urban terrain/built-up areas and for combat search-and-rescue operations, and undertake anti-armour operations. The airframe was to feature a narrow fuselage housing a pilot and a gunner/co-pilot in tandem configuration. The glass cockpit and windshield was required to have armour protection against 12.7mm armour-piercing rounds. Optronic sensors, including a FLIR/thermal imager and laser rangefinder/designator, were to be installed inside a nose-mounted gimballed payload assembly developed by the DRDO's Dehra Dun-based IRDE facility. The electronic warfare suite was to include a DRDO-developed radar warning receiver, plus chaff/flare dispensers and a missile approach warning system. Things began to move in October 2006 when the MoD released initial R&D funds to HAL and authorised the IAF's projected procurement request for 65 LCHs. As per present plans, HAL is due to roll out the first of three LCH prototypes this October, with initial operational clearance being granted by March 2010, and full certification of airworthiness being granted by January 2011, 25 months after the LCH's first flight.
Though the LCH is derived from the 'Dhruv' and will carry the same weapons package now being qualified on board the armed 'Dhruv' (that have been ordered by the Army for its projected Combat Aviation Brigade), the IAF has specified a top speed 25kph higher to allow it to run down and kill snooping UAVs if necessary. To make the LCH a survivable platform, HAL is following Nato's MIL-STD-1290 crashworthiness standard, is designing its own impact absorbing landing gear and will improve on the Dhruv's ballistic tolerance with up to 100kg of composite-/ceramics-based modular armour, whose positioning is based on an IAF study of the areas most likely to suffer bullet damage. The tandem-seat cockpits will each have twin side-by-side AMLCDs, will be NVG-compatible, will provide NBC protection to the crew, and will have a helmet-mounted targeting system co-developed by HAL and Israel's Elbit Systems. The LCH will be capable of operating at heights of up to 6,000 metres or 18,000 feet, and will be powered by twin Ardiden 1H (1,200shp TM333-2C2 Shakti) engines co-developed by HAL and Turbomecca. The main and tail rotor blades will be of all-composite construction, with the main rotor blade tips featuring BERP-style sections for increased cruise speed. The LCH's armaments suite will comprise a THL-20 chin-mounted turret containing a 20mm Nexter Systems-built M-621 gun firing at a rate of 800 rounds per minute, stub-wing-mounted Forges de Zeebrugge-built LAU-FZ-231 launchers carrying 2.75-inch rockets, MBDA-built Mistral ATAM air-to-air missiles, or the DRDO-developed Nag anti-armour guided-missiles, which will have a maximum engagement range of 6km and will use a nose-mounted millimeter-wave radar for target acquisition-sum-homing. The LCH's four-axis auto-hover and digital automatic flight control system have been developed in-house, while the Bangalore-based DARE is developing along with EADS the defensive aids suite. DARE has also developed in-house the digital mission computer and pylon interface boxes. The flight control actuator system has been co-developed by HAL and the UK-based APPH.
For the LOH requirements of the Army and IAF, HAL recently proposed a lighter LCH-derived platform that will feature a roof-mounted stabilised optronic turret housing an integrated long-range observation system comprising a thermal imager, laser rangefinder and daylight TV. This variant of the LCH will bear a strong resemblance to Japan's Kawasaki OH-1 Ninja armed LOH.

FIARA 2000, Senegal s international fair for agriculture and animal resources was held in Dakar over 11 days in mid-December 1999
FIARA 2000, Senegal s international fair for agriculture and animal resources was held in Dakar over 11 days in mid-December 1999. It came close to meeting its targets of attracting more than 20,000 visitors each day. Designed to be a meeting place for various farmers organisations and for direct contacts between producers and urban consumers, FIARA 2000 was organised by the national council for rural cooperation CNCR and the association of rural council presidents APCR. Expanding opportunities were highlighted both in regional trade and among the renowned Senegalese diaspora in Europe, southern Africa, and the Americas.

Oh yes. You've went to the dinner party where you're the only dude that showed up. You cleaning up everything and vacuuming, washing dishes and whatnot. And now my reward, the wife and child are going out of town for an entire week and I have the city to myself. I was originally supposed to be offshore, but they kicked me off b/c they ran out of bunk space. Oh it's true, it's damn true.
And you know the only thing better than this... is two of the boys' wives are ALSO going to be out of town. We've lined up a visit to Two Rows to watch some NBA on Thursday and sample some beer at another "Oil & Gas Boys Happy Hour". The golf clubs are going to put to use a few times. I'm emptying out our session beer cabinet in the house to take with me to various house parties. I've already got 1 game night, 1 house party, and a WEEKEND LONG POOL PARTY lined up and ready to go. And a friend of mine suggested we hit his new house in the Heights for some Sierra Nevada on tap and poker. I'll be hanging out at Gingerman, of course the Saucer, and if it weren't for some new laws, we'd probably end up at the HK.
The Misses plans on writing out a menu of food to cook for the rest of the week so I can eat and not die.
As you can guess, this could get real ugly real fast. I'm halfway considering getting a hotel room somewhere downtown so I don't get tempted to drive home to the 'burbs in a less than sober state, but I plan on pacing myself, and locking up a designated driver here and there. I'm still recovering from the Margarita Monday we had yesterday with some friends.
And I just locked down the hotel rooms in MUNICH for Oktoberfest. We'll be staying at a hotel (all the hostels were waaaaaaaay booked up) about 4 subway stops from Oktoberfest. We'll spend the last weekend of Oktoberfest in Munich. This is a guys only trip as well. The only reason we won't be spending more time in Munich is b/c we've set up a warmup trip to Amsterdam. Oh it's real. There's some brewpubs, probably some decent Trappists, some fresh Heineken... aw hell we're staying at the Bulldog Hostel. Oh it's real, it's damn real. If you're wondering how it goes down in Amsterdam, I'm lining up a "different" review of the Heineken faux-brewery for "The Session" post in June. Should be fun.
The beauty of it all, is the wife knows I like to party it up so I get the green light. Plus, she knows I'm stupid enough to post everything I do. Not to mention she has about 4000 friends in the city that always pop up wherever we are. There's probably a few readers of this blog that would sell me out and slap me up on Facebook first chance they got.

text: Speeder & Weeder At approximately 2:02 this morning, an officer observed a motor vehicle leave a parking lot at a high rate of speed. The officer pulled the vehicle over at Talbot & Welles Avenues in Dorchester. When the driver gave the officer his license, his name wasn't on the registration and the driver claimed that the car belonged to his sister. When asked for her name so the officer could match it with the registration in his hand, the driver gave his "sisters" first name but could not remember her last name. The officer also recovered a bag of green vegetable matter on the suspect's person. Gerome Adams, 28, of Mattapan, was arrested for Using a Motor Vehicle Without Authority, Speeding, and Possession of Class D Drugs. He will be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Monday. OUI Robert Wilson, 43, of Quincy was arrested last night for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol, Operating after License Revocation/Suspension, and Leaving the Scene after Personal Injury. Officers responded to a radio call at approximately 7:45pm for a four car accident at 200 Columbia Road in Roxbury. A witness claimed that he observed Wilson weaving in and out of traffic on Columbia Road, striking the rear of a double-parked car, which pushed that vehicle into another parked car. While leaving the scene of the accident Wilson struck a third vehicle, then traveled over the grass median on Columbia Road, striking a fourth vehicle and coming to a stop after crashing into a fence at Devon Street & Vaugh Avenue. Three victims from the first vehicle were taken to a local hospital and treated & released for non-life threatening injuries. The occupants of two other vehicles refused medical attention at the scene. Wilson will be arraigned on Monday in Roxbury District Court.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and eight followers were jailed by federal marshals Monday after his two chartered Learjets landed here in what the government said was an effort by the Indian guru to flee his strife-torn Oregon commune for Bermuda to avoid prosecution in the United States.
The surprise arrest came hours before a federal grand jury in Oregon unsealed a 35-count indictment charging the bhagwan and his followers with conspiracy and false statements in connection with a scheme to bring illegal immigrants into the United States.
In a hearing late Monday in Charlotte, the bhagwan, 53, was also charged with illegal flight to avoid prosecution. Six others, apparently followers of the guru, were taken off the two jets and charged with aiding the bhagwan's escape and concealing him from federal officers.
Two Charlotte residents who, the government alleged, had planned to meet the retinue with fresh pilots and planes for the final leg of the trip, also were arrested but later were released.

Day 2 Preview:
Since there will be no repeat winner at this year's PGA Tournament, there will be a chance for a relative unknown to break through and turn some heads.
Through the first round, Lee Westwood, Kevin Chappell and Ryan Palmer are tied at -6. Palmer has only won three times on the PGA Tour in his career, and doesn't have a victory since 2010. The 28-year-old Chappell has missed six cuts in the 14 previous events he has entered this year.
This afternoon, all eyes will be on Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Phil Mickelson, as they they will playing catch up in efforts to make it to the weekend. Woods, who hasn't won a major in six years, insists his back is sturdy enough to make it through, despite leaving in heap last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

What Tori Spelling wore when pitching a comedy series last pilot season was rather out there, even by the loosey-goosey standards of TV. She walked into offices at the six major networks carrying her 13-pound pug, Mimi LaRue, and wearing a T-shirt bearing the words:
"No, I don't live at the mansion."
"No, I don't hate Shannen Doherty."
"No, I haven't had my ribs removed."
"Yes, I do dress up my pug," was written across her narrow back, in bold pink letters.
No matter what you've heard, the dog, whom Spelling routinely clothes in chiffon and pearls, was not sporting a matching tee.
If reality television has taught us anything, it's that viewers tune in to see people they like as well as those they, oh, "hate" is such a strong word, but you get the point. Spelling, "Beverly Hills, 90210" alumna, tabloid regular, gay icon and plucky Hollywood heiress, has her fans, but in the 16 years she's been working as an actress, the 32-year-old has been subjected to what even the most poisonous observer of pop culture would have to admit is more than her fair share of vitriol and ridicule.

|Nicholas Winton's statue at Prague rail station
While doing research for a book I am writing, I came across the extraordinary story of Nicholas George Winton, an ordinary man who proved himself to be a true hero at an extremely dangerous time in history. I cannot but share it here. The Photograph is from Wikipedia and the information is from Wikipedia and a few other sources.
In 1939, just days before the Second World War began, Nicholas Winton risked his life to save 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in an operation later known as the Czech Kindertransport (German for "child transportation"). He ensured their safe passage to Britain. They would have been dead otherwise. And some of the children saved by Winton grew up to become mathematician, paediatric geneticist, film maker, parliamentarian, and so on.
If Winton's feat was incredible, what followed was even more so.
Like a true hero, he never publicised his efforts. Neither did he try to profit from it. Fifty years later, his wife found a scrapbook in their attic that contained the names, pictures, and documents of the children he had saved.
And the world came to know his humongous exploits much later, through an episode of the BBC television programme That's Life! in 1988. BBC invited Winton to the programme as a member of the audience. During the programme, the host of the programme, Esther Rantzen showed Winton's scrapbook and narrated his achievements. Then she asked if anybody in the audience owed their live to Winton, and if so, to stand up. More than two dozen people sitting around Winton and his wife rose and applauded.
Sir Nicholas was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 and received the highest Czech honour, the Order of the White Lion in 2014. He died on 1 July 2015, aged 106.
Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in Hampstead, London. His parents were German Jews who had relocated to London two years before. The family name was Wertheim, but they changed it to Winton in an effort at integration. They also converted to Christianity, and Winton was baptised.
In 1923, Winton entered school, but left without qualifications. He attended night school while volunteering at the Midland Bank. He then moved to Hamburg, Berlin, and Paris, working for different banks. He also earned a banking qualification in France. Returning to London, he became a broker at the London Stock Exchange.
Shortly before Christmas 1938, Winton was planning to travel to Switzerland for a skiing holiday. But he decided instead to visit Prague and help the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, then in the process of being occupied by Germany.
Winton single-handedly established an organization to aid children from Jewish families at risk from the Nazis. He set up his office at a dining room table in his Prague hotel.
In the night of 9-10 November 1938, paramilitary forces and German civilians killed Jews throughout Nazi Germany, while the German authorities looked on. The pogrom was known as the Night of Broken Glass. The name comes from shards of broken glass that littered the streets of German cities after windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed.
After the Night of the broken glass, the British Parliament allowed the entry into Britain of refugees younger than 17, provided they had a place to stay and a warranty of £50 was deposited for their eventual return to their own country.
However, the Dutch government refused Jewish refugees to enter the Netherlands, and the children were to board a ferry from there. The Dutch border guards sent the refugees back to Germany, despite the horrors being well known.
Winton was able to overcome the impediment thanks to guarantees he had obtained from Britain. After the first train, the process of crossing the Netherlands went smoothly. Winton ultimately found homes in Britain for 669 children, many of whose parents would later perish in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Throughout the summer of 1939, he, with the help of his mother, placed photographs of the children in Picture Post seeking families to adopt them. He also wrote to US politicians such as Roosevelt, asking them to take in more children.
Winton later said that two thousand more might have been saved if they had helped, but only Sweden accepted some refugee children, besides Britain.
The last group of 250, scheduled to leave Prague on 1 September 1939, was unable to depart as Hitler invaded Poland on the same day, and the Second World War had begun. Of the children due to leave by that train, only two survived the war.
Sadly, 2017 looks disturbingly like 1938. As I write this, millions of refugees are living in terrible camps unprotected from cold, rain, and snow. And borders are being sealed. People who could have had the same fate as the Syrian refugees if history had moved in a different direction, are trying their best to throw out starving children from their doors.
The world needs lots of Nichlas George Wintons today.

Again, I apologize for posting my reading questions late.
Jones makes a good case for pornographic manga, but I think that "bad girls who like to look" are, in the end, (in the words of Catherine MacKinnon) still vicariously working out the fantasies of men. Just because the ladies' comics provide a venue for women to express and experiment with various sexual desires doesn't mean that some (or most) of these desires are autonomously conceived. If, indeed, manga and anime are so integral to the shaping of gender identification and relations between the sexes (as Napier suggests), then wouldn't it be irresponsible of Jones to neglect the informative aspect of anime and manga? As with any mass medium, shouldn't we consider the influence of the representation (on the subject) as well as what is reflected (from the subject) in the representation? In other words, don't social constructions create our identities as much as we create social constructions? If such a construction perpetuates a motif of explicit abuse, is it "ethically" okay to identify with it upon awareness of its effects? And this makes me wonder: what is the mentality of the gang rapists mentioned in the anecdotes of ladies' comics readers? To link this train of thought to our class today, I ask yet another question: to what extent are the "male" actresses in Takarazuka even more directly living the vicarious life of the masculine fantasy?

Speaking of that, those nonfiction text features have a huge part in the comprehension of advanced texts, don't they?
Well, not so much maybe.
My 5th graders know them all by name, they know their various purposes within a text. But were they always utilizing nonfiction text features for information?
I wasn't so sure after a recent benchmark assessment.
Student after student read fluently through the running record book...but completely gliding past numerous charts, diagrams, and captions, all carefully designed to support their comprehension.
So I decided to turn to our science text which is chock-full of important text feature visuals...especially in the section on ecosystems.
I then asked my students our Essential Question for the lesson:
(nothing better than the combination of Reading and Science, right?)
After a quick discussion of what we already knew about this question, I handed my students the text-less (new word for you!) chapter selection along with a graphic organizer.
I asked the students to find as many facts from the nonfiction text features as they could and record them in the organizer.
My 5th graders got to work, highlighting and recording all those facts. I watched them study the pictures and captions very closely, sharing out what they discovered with their teammates.
We then took some time to reflect on the experience and what it meant to us as readers.
And, as an added bonus, it turned out to be a wonderful frontloading activity for Science, as we hadn't even read the chapter yet!
In our reading groups, my students now take the time to look all over the page at the various features, remarking on their findings before reading a particular selection.
And to help continue this practice of utilizing features for information and comprehension, we continue to examine and identify our learning from text features across all subject areas.
I designed the graphic organizer used with my students to be pretty general, in hopes some of you may be able to use this as well.
Before I dash off to plan for the week (don't be impressed, I'm bound to get distracted by something more pressing!) I did want to say I've been making a concentrated effort to share happenings in our classroom on Facebook, since I've been such a intermittent blogger this year. I would love to see you there if you would like to follow!! :)

My front garden is very young with all new fresh plants. What a pleasure it is to watch new vines and branches sprout. Now the ultimate waiting game begins - hoping leaves and flowers will sprout with an abundance of color dancing through my garden. My expectations are even greater for next year . . .
. . . . yet simple pleasures are found in a fleeting moment as a bright and happy little finch visits my favorite Harry Lauder Walking Stick Tree.
Sewing is sometimes like gardening - starting simple, sometimes getting help and building upon your ideas - and along the way sharing. Read my next blog on sharing.

The Birth of VR Fashion
Buzz about virtual reality is everywhere these days and various business 'gurus' have called 2016 'The year of Virtual Reality'. However, VR in the fashion industry has been slow to take off. In healthcare, education, architecture and interior design, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are already gaining great popularity. So when is fashion getting its start?
The short answer is – now!
The Oculus Rift got the ball rolling and now VR headset manufacturers are popping up everywhere. The Rift, HTC Vive and Samsung Gear VR are the leading lot of high-end VR headsets and these products will cost a cool several hundred dollars apiece once available. For the everyman, though, smartphone manufacturers have started providing low cost VR viewers with their products, and the Google Cardboard VR viewer has become almost ubiquitous in the tech fraternity. Slowly, VR is seeping into the lives of the average person, opening up fantastic opportunities in various industries including fashion. Even though VR technology is still evolving and is yet to be perfected, in the past year alone several fashion giants have turned to VR to grab eyeballs and wow their customers.
In 2014, Topshop filmed its fall '14 runway show in 3D and offered the VR experience to the public. Also in 2014, Elle magazine captured its cover shoot in VR, making it available for Android smartphones and viewable using Google Cardboard. American shoe brand Converse created an app in early 2015 to let its customers view a video of their shoes in virtual action and 7 For All Mankind, a denim brand, showcased its 2015 spring collection in VR. Luxury fashion house Dior released a VR headset of their own centered around make-up and the preparations of models before runway shows. Rebecca Minkoff released a video as well as customized Cardboard viewers to entertain and invite their customers to their 2016 shows. The Cardboard viewers sold out on their website within hours. Celebrities haven't been shy of virtual reality either. Drew Barrymore's cover shoot for InStyle magazine was released as a 3D video which made waves. The magazine distributed VR headsets to several of its subscribers specially to enjoy the viewing experience. In late 2015, Tommy Hilfiger brought VR to several of its flagship stores across the US.
So far, fashion brands have ventured into using VR to showcase their fashion shows and selected products using 3D video. More and more brands are venturing into the use of VR for marketing and promotion. But where is VR for fashion headed in 2016? Well, this year marks the advent of VR dressing rooms and shopping experiences that will redefine the way brands interact with their customers and vice-versa. This is the year when in-store engagement is boosted by the use of VR and AR technology, and customers who shop online can try-and-buy using virtual models of themselves. VR in fashion is poised to change shopping from mere transactions to journeys that leave delighted customers with stories to share, all the while building brands' stories within the immersive environments.
It has never been done before and the possibilities are boundless, the enthusiasm is infectious, and the timing is just right. 2016 is just the beginning for VR fashion.

- 2016. Microbial community structure and nutrient dynamics in forest soils colonized by bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) PeerJ Preprints 4:e1863v1 https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.1863v1
Bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) is one of the most successful plant colonizers of soils in temperate regions; however, its effects on microbial community structure and activity and nutrient dynamics remain poorly understood. We studied whether colonization of forest soil by bracken fern modifies the structure and function of the soil microbial communities and considered the implications for ecosystem functioning. For this purpose, we analyzed microbial community structure (PLFAs) and activity (basal respiration, metabolic quotient), litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics (C, N and P) in monospecific oak (Quercus robur L.), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) and maritime pine forests (Pinus pinaster Aiton) colonized by bracken fern. Colonization of forest soil by bracken fern led to a reduction in differences in microbial community structure, as revealed by principal component and cluster analysis, although samples from oak forests were grouped separately. According to this, bracken litter decomposed to a greater extent than native tree litter in pine forest soils, whereas the opposite was found in oak forest soils. Such differences were not observed in eucalyptus forest soils. Colonization by bracken fern affected C mineralization, with no difference between the different types of forest; however, both N and P mineralization were higher in oak than in the other types of forest. In conclusion, colonization by bracken fern homogenizes soil microbial community structure. Differences in the decomposability of bracken litter in the different forest systems suggest a high degree of metabolic specialization of soil microorganisms. Thus, the soil microorganisms associated with bracken are continuously driven to decompose the bracken litter. In the long-term this will alter nutrient cycling, slowing decomposition and enhancing sequestering of nutrients by bracken ferns.

It's a strenuous time to be a campus snowflake. For a University of Notre Dame snowflake, doubly so.
As colleges near graduation season, liberals at Notre Dame are launching a campaign to protest Vice President Mike Pence from delivering this year's commencement address using the hashtag #NotMyCommencementSpeaker.
Seniors Imanne Mondane and Jourdyhn Williams, who launched the campaign, told the Observer that Pence's scheduled visit and speech is silencing certain minorities on campus.
"For me personally, [Pence] represents the larger Trump administration," Mondane said to the Observer. "His administration represents something, and for many people on our campus, it makes them feel unsafe to have someone who openly is offensive but also demeaning of their humanity and of their life and of their identity."
The #NotMyCommencementSpeaker campaign involves students getting their photo taken "holding a white board in [their] hands with direct quotes from Pence that are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, offensive, or ostracizing to members of our community."
Here's a sample collage from Mondane:
Williams believes that the campaign's been successful in a large part to its visual aspect of using white boards.
"It's hard getting out there to get people to discussions that you want to be there," Williams said to the Observer. "A lot of times they don't come until you show them 'this is my face, this is how it's affecting me,' and so we wanted to make sure it was something that impacted everyone, and not just those who are interested in coming to these things."
Normally, Notre Dame invites the President of the United States to deliver the commencement speech in the first year of their presidency. However, due to the stiff resistance against Donald Trump, college administrators invited Pence instead.
Williams continued. "I feel that is offensive to such a large population here at Notre Dame, and I also believe it goes against certain Catholic Social Teaching, which is something the University likes to broadcast that it stands behind, but it picks and chooses when it wants to stand behind them."
On the bright side for Pence, some Notre Dame students protested the 2009 commencement when then-President Obama in his first year delivered an address. Perhaps they're just a tough crowd.

Manicurist Madeline Poole recently debuted a set of surfboard nail files on her beauty-friendly Instagram account. These kitschy manicure tools are perfect for nail care in the sun.
After many inquiries on these nifty nail files, Poole spoke to Vogue and explained that these tasteful tools are a Hawaiian export. The three nail files are shaped like miniature surfboards and display images of a well-built man, a surfer riding a wave and sea turtles under the water, are stocked in an ABC store located in Hawaii. It has been reported that the ABC store in question is The Store With Aloha, which stocks many surfboard nail files as well as regular nail files with eccentric Hawaiian graphics.
In addition to being quirky and cool, these nail files are great for shaping.

Benefit: Save Your Back with a Raised Garden Bed
Raised-bed vegetable gardening can reduce back strain because you won't have to bend over as far to reach the plants. With easier access and less pain potential, you're better able to enjoy the labor involved in planting, tending, and harvesting your raised vegetable garden.
Raised garden bed tip: Build your raised garden beds so they're at least 12 inches tall. If the walls are slightly below waist level, you can sit on edges to work the soil and harvest your bounty without having to bend over at all.
Benefit: Grow Longer in Raised Garden Beds
The soil in raised vegetable garden beds typically warms earlier in spring than the surrounding earth. It also tends to dry faster, so you can get cool-season crops planted sooner, extending the growing season and your vegetable crop choices just by using raised gardens.
Test Garden Tip: To extend the gardening season for your raised garden beds, fashion hoops like these and then drape plastic over them. The makeshift cold frame will help you gain a few extra growing weeks in spring and autumn.
Benefit: Keep Clean with Raised Vegetable Gardens
Spread mulch over the paths between your raised vegetable garden beds and your feet will stay clean, no matter how wet the weather. Because you won't walk on the raised garden beds, you'll be able to run out to grab a handful of fresh basil for dinner without worrying about compacting the soil.
Benefit: Overcome Bad Soil with a Raised Vegetable Garden
Raised vegetable gardens are the answer if you have sandy or clay soil. Instead of struggling with poor topsoil, all you need to do is fill your raised garden beds with high-quality topsoil and start gardening. Nutrient-rich soil means fewer struggles for plants and less frustration for the gardener. To keep the soil in raised vegetable gardens healthy, continue to feed it with compost and other organic matter.
Benefit: Reduce Weeds with Raised Bed Gardening
Once your raised raised vegetable garden beds are filled with fresh soil, cover the surface with an inch or two of mulch. This reduces weed competition and preserves soil moisture in your raised garden beds.
Benefit: Stop Grass from Invading with Raised Gardens
Lawn grasses, which have spreading root systems, often infiltrate a standard vegetable garden and become a serious weed. But when you practice raised vegetable gardening, nearby turf won't be able to spread into your vegetable crops.
Benefit: Stop Pests with Raised Vegetable Gardens
Even with raised bed vegetable gardening, critters such as rabbits or moles can make a mess of your vegetables. One way to thwart them is with tall raised garden beds. Design and build raised garden beds that are at least 4 feet tall to discourage these invaders.
Benefit: Make Your Garden More Attractive with Raised Gardens
Set up a series of small raised vegetable garden beds in tidy rows or a pattern and you'll end up with the most visually appealing vegetable garden on your block.
Benefit: Never Till Again with Raised Garden Beds
Raised vegetable garden beds provide a healthier environment for beneficial microorganisms and earthworms because there's no foot traffic to compact the soil. And you avoid the time and expense of tilling with raised gardening beds.
Design Tip: Keep Raised Vegetable Garden Beds Narrow
Wondering how to make a raised garden bed? Build your raised vegetable garden beds so you can easily reach the middle from both sides. Most raised gardens are 4 feet across because the average person can easily reach about 2 feet.
Design Tip: Space Raised Garden Beds Correctly
In your raised vegetable gardening plans, leave enough space between the beds to easily maneuver a wheelbarrow for adding soil, harvesting, spreading mulch, or other activities. Similarly, if you have grass paths between your raised vegetable garden beds, make sure you build your raised garden bed with enough space to comfortably run your lawn mower.
Design Tip: Use Long-Lasting Materials for a Raised Vegetable Garden
When selecting materials for your DIY raised garden beds, choose rot-resistant lumber such as cedar or redwood. Or look for other materials, such as brick, stone, or concrete, to create build raised beds you won't need to rebuild. Get the wood look when making a raised garden bed with composite materials.
Design Tip: Add Decorative Elements to Raised Gardens
Raised vegetable gardening bed designs can be attractive landscape features. Dress them up with details that add style to their utilitarian form. For example, give corner posts in a raised garden a cap or paint the wood frames to match your house.
Test Garden Tip: A wide variety of premade post caps is available at your local hardware store or home improvement center. Post caps for raised garden beds come in materials including wood, copper, and glass. Some even have solar lights incorporated, adding highlights to your raised garden bed.
Design Tip: Come Up with a Pattern for Your Raised Garden Beds
Raised vegetable garden beds are often set up as squares or rectangles that run parallel to one another. But you can add some fun to your raised-bed gardening landscape by arranging the raised garden beds in different geometric shapes or patterns. For example, mimic the lines of an architectural feature on your home. Whatever shape you design, remember to allow yourself room to reach into the raised garden beds and to move between them.
Design Tip: Grow Up with Vines in Raised Garden Beds
Include trellises, obelisks, or tuteurs in your raised-bed vegetable gardening plans. Buy or build one or two to grow vining crops such as peas, beans, cucumbers, and even tomatoes. The extra height of these raised vegetable gardens brings visual drama to your plantings, especially if most of what you grow is relatively short.

About Me
I've been doing the house up as a Mad Lab for about 10 years. It takes 6 to 8 weeks to transform the 1st floor of my home into my Laboratory. All props and displays are made by me from stuff found at yardsales, flea markets and auctions. Most halloween props offered in stores and websites are boring and dissapointing to me. However, I may find an element (such as a severed head) that brings my creativity to life. In this instance the prop is created around that element and becomes a unique addition to my Lab and my portfolio.

Hey dockter! Looks like it is back on, and the static prop SEI is foam and the animated SEI is a wiper motor. You have to do a tutorial when you submit your entry. Looking forward to it!
Well, I look forward to whatever you post here. I am sure I am not the only one who would like to see how you made some of the stuff in your lab. Maybe you can create some tutorials.
Hey Maddokter! Aren't you the guy who hacked a Resuscitation Annie? I am also aspiring to build a lab, albeit a more modest one on my back porch.

The FAA (and Congress) offer a crashable program in diversity
Weeks ago, it seemed common sense -- and the Constitution -- might prevail when Congress indicated it would veto a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plan to abandon its decades-old, race-neutral process of hiring the most motivated, best prepared, and most highly-skilled air traffic controllers (ATCs) to keep American travelers safe in the skies.
No such luck. Fearful of a presidential veto if it stopped the FAA's race-based hiring scheme, Congress on July 13 cut a deal allowing the FAA to hire half of all new controllers based on race. President Obama signed the legislation on July 15.
Soon the rest of us will find out how these rookie ATCs fare in guiding 87,000 flights a day carrying tens of millions of passengers across the U.S.
I have battled Congress's willingness to disperse funds, grant contracts, and award licenses on the basis of race for more than 25 years, and the struggle is ongoing.
In 1995, a case I brought on behalf of a small Colorado business that was denied highway construction subcontracts because of a racial preference reached the U.S. Supreme Court; it resulted in a landmark ruling (Adarand Constructors, Inc. v, Peña) that the Constitution's equal protection guarantee applies to Congress.
The late Justice Antonin Scalia concurred in that decision, "In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American." With its ruling, the Court also overturned two of its earlier decisions holding that Congress could set aside public works funds for minority businesses (Fullilove v. Klutznick, 1980) and award radio and television broadcast licenses based on race (Metro Broadcasting, Inc. v. FCC, 1990).
We're not there now. Racial preferences flooded back into almost every major legislative act in Barack Obama's first term.
Then, early in Obama's second term, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta announced plans to "transform the [FAA] into a more diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects, understands, and relates to the diverse customers we serve."
First, the FAA killed a successful agency program that established accredited aviation degree curricula in 36 colleges and universities in 23 States and Puerto Rico to prepare future ATCs on a color-blind basis for training at the FAA Academy at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City.
Following that sweeping measure, 2,000 to 3,500 ready-to-hire, highly qualified graduates of those programs got "Dear Applicant" emails advising them that the FAA's hiring process had changed and they must reapply. An FAA official later reported that their names had been "purged" from FAA job application files.
Finally, the FAA announced it would hire via a General Public Announcement--commonly referred to as "off the street"--U.S. citizens with high school diplomas, who speak English, and pass a 62-question "Biographical Questionnaire" (BQ), which includes such questions as, "The number of high school sports I participated in was?" "How would you describe your ideal job?" "What has been the major cause of your failures?" "More classmates would remember me as humble or dominant?"
Late last year, my legal foundation filed a class action lawsuit in Arizona federal district court on behalf of an Arizona State University double major graduate who scored 100 percent on the FAA's long-standing, demanding, eight-hour computer-based Air Traffic Control Selection and Training exam. His name had been purged from eligibility for hiring regardless. Incidentally, he along with most of the other ready-to-hire graduates "failed" the BQ test.
Our lawsuit relies in its reasoning on my 1995 victory and on a 2009 Supreme Court decision that struck down New Haven, Connecticut's decision to abandon the race-neutral hiring of firefighters to increase racial diversity. Anticipating congressional action, the case was stayed in early June, to begin again this month.
But the FAA had pressed forward, with disastrous results. Because the FAA slowed, froze, and then changed the hiring process, unfilled vacancies among air traffic controllers are at a 26-year high, and more could come quickly. For example, every ATC in one Alaska international flight sector could retire tomorrow.
Meantime, the FAA's Oklahoma City training center is laden with raw trainees unskilled in English, unable to obtain security clearances for DUIs among other reasons, and lacking the discipline for the arduous 17-week training syllabus—the dropout rate is wreaking havoc with class size and schedules.
Congress bemoaned the gap in hiring but did little else aside from the partial killing of the preposterous BQ "test." And then, somewhere in the back rooms, it caved in.
When the bill finally emerged it contained a typical legislative-style compromise. It said that, after giving preferential consideration to veterans with air traffic control experience, half of all new air traffic controllers must come from the college degree program, which Congress sensibly and legislatively reinstated. But the other half will be hired "off the street," apparently to satisfy the FAA's pursuit of racial diversity.
This scheme fails for several reasons. First, it reaches only half of those "purged" from job application lists. It is not a remedy for those adversely affected—they remain at the back of the line, uncertain as to how to "reapply."
It also does not prevent the FAA from doing the same thing again, and, worse yet, it gives congressional approval to a 50 per cent racial quota—after the Supreme Court in 1995 sharply criticized what was, at worst, a 15 per cent preference.
One other result: Congress's belated splitting of the difference came too late to save three of the ATC schools that were set up to train everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed. One of the three schools that failed to survive was the most racially diverse of all, the Inter American University of Puerto Rico.
Fasten your safety belts as we see what happens next.

Tai Lue manuscript for reading practiceJust spotted a Tai Lue script manuscript that could be used for reading practice.
Linguist John Hartmann of Northern Illinois University has put it online at his Tai Lue site together with a copy of his dissertation on the Tai Lue language.
I personally have many reasons to delve deeper into the Tai Lue script and language. 1) I've been wanting to have more meaningful conversations with my Ta Lue mother-in-law, 2) We have a lot of Tai Lue rock music videos with Tai Lue subtitles at home (long historical folk ballads too), 3) I also have a Tai Lue historical chronicle I want to read, 4) and a book of witty Tai Lue sayings and folk wisdom.
It appears that one can really kill three birds with one stone by learning how to read Tai Lue. The script is a lot like that of Tai Khuen and Tai Yuan (Lanna). Living in Chiang Rai delving deeper into Tai Yuan texts would be a logical thing to do, also the French scholar Anatole Roger Peltier has deposited a wonderful collection of Tai Khuen manuscripts in the Lanna Room (4th floor) of the Chiang Mai University's central library. My friend Peter Koret has probably delved into these. Must contact him.

For a while I thought it was just the fact that there is much less stress in my life at the moment and surely that will have been one factor but another, more interesting point I've noticed is that I stopped worrying about the negative people in my life so much. I'm not gonna lie about it, I've spent the past months surrounded by some really egocentric and narcissistic people and I'm pretty sure them being out of my life is one of the reason for me feeling so much better. . .
"Human beings are social creatures. We are social not just in the trivial sense that we like company and not just in the obvious sense that we each depend on others. We are social in a more elemental way: simply to exist as a normal human being requires interaction with other people." - Atul Gawande
Is a relationship of any kind filled with negativity or does it trigger you in some way?
If, then you should consider to let this relationship go.
Try, if possible, to be honest with the other person. If there is something that really bothers you about them but you suspect they might be doing it unintentionally, just tell them about it.
Positive influences can make it easier to let go of the negative ones. So if you have just decided to distance yourself from a friend who had a negative impact on an area of your life, try spending more time with people that make you feel better.
|I believe life is a journey and we are going to encounter all sorts of people on our way but in order to be perfectly happy we need to ensure that only the positive ones stay in our lives!

In the Sydney, Australia domestic terminal
Posted by sonya worthy at Sunday, January 03, 2016
After interviewing over 1,200 readers, I've discovered the beauty and rarity of a given book being read at a given time, instead of, say, packed away in a box somewhere. I've also discovered that I've not only been chronicling the popularity of books, but also the diversity of individuals. What goes on inside our minds is evidenced by and influenced by what we are reading, have read, and the inner dialogs we have with authors.

That would be to use 3 embellishments, 2 pieces of patterned paper and 1 photo.
And it's easier than it looks at first glance.
I have to admit that I had a bit of an advantage here because I'm in the middle of LOAD and every day this month has been challenging us to stretch our creativity and one of the days' prompts was also 3-2-1 so I'd had some practice :-) {here}
And even though I've made quite a few layouts from my May kit Whisper already, there seemed to be plenty of choice in there to make this a relatively fast process.
|Completely out of order in my uploading of layouts but this is layout #8 from my May kit, Whispers
With my full, cluttered style the starting point to any challenge like this is to choose double sided papers which gives me 4 designs in effect. And this MME papers, with its ready printed clusters and extra details is also great as it provides embellishments there and then. I also reach for border punches to add extra elements and fussy-cut as much as possible. I "stole" a bit of the background paper from behind the photo and used that with the heart punch as well as the "Follow Your Heart" element from the manufacturer strip at the bottom of the paper. The only tiny bit of cheating I did, and not deliberately, was that small strip of green/white plaid there next to the Follow Your Heart banner. It's also from the manufacturer slip at the bottom of the paper but from another sheet and I didn't realise until I had glued it down :-( Oh well.
My three embellishments are the pearls, one of the pennants I made for the kit, and the washi tape. The photo speaks for itself!
Another thing I love about these MME papers is that there are usually some words included in the printed cluster and I like to try to incorporate those into my title, saving on letters while giving me a longer phrase.
Pretty papers, a cute photo and a few words. It doesn't get much better than that :-)

Named a top book of 2014 at My Full Bookshelf and Words of Mystery.You really need to read this book.
Playing with Matches is a coming of age comedy about an 11th grade student who becomes an inadvertent and anonymous Internet matchmaker within the traditional Jewish community. As she juggles her double life as student by day and matchmaker by night, her life spirals out of control with some hilarious and moving results.
Here are some highlights from a review at My Full Bookshelf.
Warning: I gush in this review. A lot. (What can I say? I had some serious love for this book.)
Have you ever read a book that made you laugh so much you cried and then made you cry just because it was so touching the very next moment? Very few stories I've read have fit that description. But I can add Playing With Matches to that short list now, because that is exactly what this book did to me.
The first thing you need to know about Playing With Matches is that is is extremely, extremely, extremely funny. Usually when people go, "this book is so funny" in reviews, I don't take it to heart, because I seldom find humor in books as funny as everyone else. But TRUST me; this book is hilarious. The predicaments Raina gets herself into are outrageous.
Raina is an awesome main character. Her sense of humor is great. I could relate to her emotionally, because, while being a really fun character, she is also really emotionally fleshed out. And, hello, she's a matchmaker, which is a) totally unexplored ground in YA literature and b.) is actually really, really interesting!
I usually do not think the romance in YA is the best part of a book…but in this case it definitely was! Probably because it wasn't with the main character and some random hottie. Also, it wasn't focused on just one relationship…it was a bunch of relationships where the reader had no idea if they would work out or not, which made it even better.
In fact, there were a lot of themes in here that I wouldn't have expected from a book like this. When it starts, it does seem like it will be kind of fluffy. A good sort of fluffy, but still fluffy. But it ended up being so much more than that; the end was extremely touching (I cried) and I think that's what truly makes this book so awesome.
Playing With Matches was amazingness in book form. If you need any more proof that I liked it, I have read 213 books this year. This is only the twelfth book that I have rated 5 stars. So basically, you should read it.

As background to the sea cucumber fishery in Tonga, the fishery started early on in the 1980s. In 1990, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community conducted a survey with the objective "to assess the potential for bech-de-mer fishery..." in Tonga. The 1990 survey found that "there were substantial stocks of sea cucumber that could support a small fishery" in Tonga. Thus, the fishery took off commercially in the early 1990s. In 1996, another survey was conducted which clearly showed "stock depleting". In turn, his Majesty's Cabinet closed the sea cucumber fishery in Tonga for 10 years, effective from 31st December 1997. Later survey in 2004 found that "there appears to be potential for re-opening the fishery" and as a result the sea cucumber fishery was reopened in 2008 upon completion of the 10 years closure.
To promote economic development as well as achieving other core functions of the Ministry such as conservation, management and sustainable utilization of sea cucumber, the Ministry put management regimes in place to achieve these objectives. Such initiatives included the adoption of the Tonga National Sea Cucumber Fishery Management and Development Plan and the Fisheries Management (Conservation) Regulations 2008. Management measures including closing season (1 Oct - 31 March) as this is the spawning season for sea cucumber, limited quotas allocated to each Island groups, size limits, ban use of scuba diving and limited number of license.
Latest survey (Nov 2010-Mar 2011) concluded that there is a sign of stock depletion especially those sea cucumber (white teatfish & black teatfish) with high commercial value whereas low value species such as lollyfish and snakefish are still in average level of healthy stock densities. Trend of export data supports this, indicating a shift from high value species to low value species, showing target subsistence species (such as snakefish - te'epupulu) increasingly becoming dominant as an export species.
The Ministry would like to inform the public that there is overall sign of depletion but not over exploited of sea cucumber in Tonga. For 2011, small quota of about 100 tonnes of sea cucumber is allocated for commercial purposes which is a declined from 312 tonnes in 2010.
It is also vital to remind that illegal fishing and export of sea cucumber hinders economic development of Tonga because it places the sustainability of sea cucumber stocks at risk. Data from overseas market indicated trading of sea cucumber from Tonga during the moratorium period (1997-2007). Between 2008 -2010 Fisheries Division received T$114,140.13 from selling of confiscated sea cucumber from known illegal fishing. It is evident that without the support of Customs, Police and the Tonga Defence Services the Fisheries Division is unable to combat illegal harvesting and export of sea cucumber. Border control plays an important role in combating illegal export of sea cucumber.
Sea cucumber fishery plays an important role in terms of supporting economic development for Tonga but if all the enforcement ministries fail to combat illegal harvesting and export of sea cucumber then this very important fishery will, very soon, collapse.
