Self-identity. Peer pressure. And sex. Yikes! These are three weighty issues. Are you sure you don't want to talk about something fun like monkeys or hamsters? But I do address these thing in I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU SOMEONE ELSE, so, okay, I can write about them here.
Self-identity: Find it
Peer pressure: Don't give in to it.
Sex: Ah, geez. It's such a hyper-sexualized world anymore, and that's just sad.
Am I done? No? More?
Let me tell you about Bronwen. She is seventeen at the start of the novel's action, twenty or twenty-one – don't you love how I don't remember – at its end. These aren't Magic Years of self-discovery. But they're crucial. I just don't want anyone thinking that you hit twenty-one and somehow – poof – become endowed overnight with a fully formed adult identity. You don't. No one does.
It is formed over long years by experience, and experience is a mix of success and failure, trial and error, learning and application, practice and refinement. And Bronwen is at the beginning of this process, which is, she discovers, learn as you go.
The one advantage she has, that some girls do, some girls don't, is that she takes into the process of self-discovery some depth of understanding about herself already. Some. She knows a few things that are right for her – including no sex before marriage. She has started this process already – whether she is wholly aware of it or not. And much of it comes from the very good emotional and moral foundation laid by her father and reinforced, initially, by her step-father. So no matter how battered she gets by heartache and loss or by the errors that are unavoidable as we all grow, she always has this foundation to return to and to build on.
So – now can we talk monkeys and hamsters?
Thank you Erin for stopping by today. Oh, and just in case haven't already read or heard about her debut novel I Now Pronounce You Someone Else, then all I can say is you do not want to miss adding this to your must read list, and I am going to help you do just that by giving away to one lucky reader a copy of Erin's new book. More about that later. First, here is my review of I Now Prounounce You Someone Else.
Although I Now Pronounce You Someone Else is a fun, light read that had me laughing and giggling and wishing I had been more like Browen when I was in high school, it is also a book that deals with some important teen issues such as self-identity, peer (and parental) pressures, and teen sex.
Eighteen-year-old Bronwen Oliver has a secret: She's really Phoebe, the lost daughter of the loving Lilywhite family. That's the only way to explain her image-obsessed mother; a kind but distant stepfather; and a brother with a small personality complex. Bronwen knows she must have been switched at birth, and she can't wait to get away from her "family" for good.
Then she meets Jared Sondervan. He's sweet, funny, everything she wants — and he has the family Bronwen has always wanted too. She falls head over heels in love, and when he
proposes marriage, she joyfully accepts. But is Jared truly what she needs? And if he's not, she has to ask: What would Phoebe Lilywhite do? (Publisher's summary from Powell's Books)
I adored Browen. She is strongly committed to not having sex until she is married. And I applauded her decision. While she stays true to her belief, she also has some deep seeded issue with her mother, which unfortunately caused her to feel like she doesn't belong. In some ways, it is Browen's whole switched at birth mentality that has her deciding in her senior year to marry Jarred, a college senior.
Browen's decision to marry Jarred changed the tone of the book for me and had me worried up until the end. Don't get me wrong I really liked Jarred, he was the perfect guy: attentive, sweet, and always the perfect gentleman. And although I felt that Browen and Jarred really did love each other, I am afraid my own mother instincts kicked in and I felt that Browen's decision was based too much on her need to be a part of a family that was the exact opposite of the one she had.
The true strength of the novel is Erin's writing. The originality of the plot and Erin's marvelous characterization was stunning. The fact that I wanted to have a long talk with Browen about her marriage plans proves that Browen was a very believable character. I also really disliked Browen mother and completely understood why Browen felt disengaged in her own family. None of these feeling would have surfaced in me if Erin's writing had been anything less than perfect.
Unfortunately, I feel that I have not even come close to adequately explaining just how much I enjoyed this book. Therefore, I really hope you will read this book for yourself because I am positive you not be disappointed.

One of our Leeds correspondents, @stevenswift, on his home town favourites, Hookworms.
Pearl Mystic - Hookworms
My album of the year by some distance . Even in an exceptional 12 months that's left me daunted by the sheer quantity and quality of LPs to get through and process Pearl Mystic has stood out as the collection that most bravely challenged and invented.
A disclaimer first. I'm from Leeds and Hookworms are a Leeds band. They are also the fulcrum of a thriving local music scene that has finally put this historically under achieving city on the music map. They have members in other ascending bands (Cowtown, Menace Beach) and have broken out of their back yard with live shows that have wagged tongues from Liverpool to New York to Brighton.
None of this could have happened without Pearl Mystic. Comprising six epic soundscapes and stitched together by three sonic interludes it's an album that defies the dreaded shuffle. Listened to at random it loses the carefully crafted subtlety that bleeds between the tracks. There is a structure to the LP which squares the circle – an opaque journey that touches on the themes of frustration, personal responsibility and loss – big issues dressed in sprawling, hypnotic arrangements.
The album opener Away/Towards is typical – echo-drenched vocals, detonating drums, pulsing bass and a near nine-minute frag that ends in a Hawkwind daze. The spatial desolation of In Our Time reminds me of second album Suicide - whilst the album's centrepiece – Since We Had Changed – refuses to emerge from its pulsing cocoon serving only to amplify the disorientation of Preservation's incoming drums.
The production is joyously drum-heavy against a transcendental wash of keyboard effects and guitars, the voice frequently emerging from the mix to take the songs to that next level. Form And Function starts with a church organ, call and response vocals and ends - like their live shows – in a dissonant cacophony and fuzz.
This debut is, it seems, set to be followed quite soon by a successor. The competing dynamics of Hookworms mean that this is unlikely to be a consolidation. Pearl Mystic is a precisely configured yet passionate statement from a band with frightening potential. No other LP has touched so many bases. Album of the year from a Leeds band? Well I never.

WWU Alumni
Jason Fox, Mongolia (97-99)
Although most people think of Peace Corps volunteers as people who are devoted lifelong to altruism and word travel, I never left the country before 1997. I was by profession a backwater nurse in Central Florida with a recently earnedBA in history. There wasn't a lot of soul searching, but rather a somber decision that as I got older and more entrenched in my everyday life, options such as Peace Corps would become less possible and more unrealistic. In retrospect, it wouldn't be fair to say that deciding to join Peace Corps was a difficult decision to make at the time. One of the most anxious moments of my life was awaiting a call from my placement officer telling me where I would be for the next two years of my life. It was intensified when I thought of all of the exciting places that Peace Corps sent people in the world. Visages of Chile and Nepal swirled through my head. I was told that it would be in the Asian region, but at first there were no specifics. Then the call came one afternoon. "How does Mongolia sound?" he asked. "Um pardon me, where?" "There is a strong need for a TEFL/ Health teacher there. Are you interested?" "What? Where?" "Mongolia." "I guess it sounds as good as anyplace," I said. We talked for a few more minutes. After our conversation I paged through my atlas to see where Mongolia was. I honestly thought that I was being sent to Africa for a minute. Then, I remembered. For some reason I thought all Asian countries were supposed to be hot. All I could think of at the time was the opening sequence at Ice planet Hoth from Star Wars. Still sounded better to me than Lake Helen, Florida. The next part was easy and expectable. I ran down to my nearest Burlington Coat factory and bought the coldest arctic gear a person could find in sunny Florida. Then I left my nursing job and traveled around the country by train for a month. It's something I highly recommend to anyone planning on entering the Peace Corps. We all met for staging in San Francisco, and then we were whisked to Beijing where we spent the night. In the morning of June 17th, 1997 all 26 of us landed in the Capitol of Mongolia, Ulaanbataar. To my surprise, everything was lush and green. The people there are highly fashion conscious and suddenly, I felt a little raggedy. Training was intense, but it wasn't a deselection process by any means. We lived with Mongolian families who knew from the Peace Corps staff that Americans had to have their own space at times. For most of us there weren't any problems. It was more like a highly structured summer camp for me. To be completely honest, my Mongolian language was terrible after completing training. I was stationed in a small provincial town to the north called Bulgan. Living in ger, or yurt was romantic, but difficult at first. It was also a little hard as nobody in my hospital, and very few people in town spoke anything other than Mongolian or maybe some Russian. I taught health and English in my local health center. I also helped to build a medical library. In my last year, I worked closely with the local hospital After I got acclimated to my job I made a lot of friends. My ability to speak Mongolian also improved. In time, the homesickness lessened. I realized that this was one of the best times of my life and soon it would be over. Returning home, believe it or not, was a little harder for me than going there. In retrospect, describing my Peace Corps experience to other people is akin to describing colors to a blind man or emotions to a computer. Every Peace Corps volunteer has a different adventure. For me, almost certainly I would have made more money to not leave America, but money comes and goes. Time is another thing altogether, but for that short time I spent in Mongolia, it seemed to stop (if only for a short while).

There's no other word for it. That's precisely the word that deserves to be used for what Dakota Access has done.
It is bad enough indeed that the living Indian-rights protesters of Dakota Access have been attacked with dogs (a treatment which apparently hasn't gone out of fashion since the 1960's). But the deliberate bulldozing of an area where the dead of the Sioux nation are buried is a direct outrage against tradition, a mortal insult to the memories of the dead, and, from a personalist point of view, an assault on human dignity itself. For we Orthodox Christians and Latin Christians especially, who treat the bodies of the dead with utmost respect and who recognise only the commitment of the dead to the earth as befitting the image of God in which people were fashioned, this act of disturbing earth which has been hallowed by the presence of the buried Sioux ought to be considered all the more dire. In addition, the fact that Dakota Access conscripted its bulldozer operators to commit this ghoulish act of desecration on Labour Day weekend is a gross and deliberate affront to the dignity and the consciences of working men and women. This is not a radical-left concern only; this is a traditionalist concern, as the slogan 'defend the sacred' bears witness. When the graves of the dead cannot be held as sacred and worthy of our respect and honour, then nothing can be.
That Dakota Access would do this out of ordinary, simple greed and out of utilitarian concerns is bad enough. But the fact that the company went out of its way, on a nationally-honoured day of rest, to destroy sites sacred to the Sioux who are protesting against them, speaks to a far more demonic influence behind these events – the same manner of demonic influence which has led Daesh to destroy Christian communities and sites sacred to the Christians of the Holy Land. And it is happening now. In the next state over.
Pray for the Standing Rock Sioux. Stand with the Standing Rock Sioux. Dakota Access's barbarities will not go unmarked in the hereafter, and they should not go unmarked now.

Not only does this occur in the USA. Foreign corporations, supported by corrupt government and military, are doing the same to the indigenous in Guatemala and Honduras. Greed commits atrocities but for the sake of minerals and for mega plantations of tropical fruits to export, more cause of emigration. Native peoples are massacred and the survivors have no land and no livelihood to support their families and must leave.ReplyDelete
Hello, Carrie! Welcome to the blog, and thank you for the comment!ReplyDelete
You're absolutely right, of course. This sort of thing sadly does happen throughout the Americas too frequently.

Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China (Leslie T. Chang)
A powerful and touching account of the living conditions, hopes and aspirations of migrant workers in the factories of contemporary southern China. The author's own quest for her roots interestingly collides with these girls' search for a better future - and their move away from their own countryside roots and family values. The book gives a voice to the millions of pairs of hands who are sewing and gluing together luxuries for us spoilt westerners and that they can't even dream of affording for themselves. You will never look at your fancy running shoes the same way again after reading this book.

The park was gazetted in 1950 with an extension of 584 km², but was afterwards enlarged to 770 km², making it the third largest park in the country.
The park is the highest in all Africa, since most of the plateau is located above an altitude of 3,000 m. The highest peaks in the park are the Kinangop, with 3,906 m, and the Oldonyo Lesatima, "the mountain of the young bull" in the Maa language of the Maasai, with 4,001 m. The landscape is dominated by deeply foggy rain forest, which confers the park a fairyland atmosphere.
Trouts breed in the mountain streams, that burst down spectacular waterfalls, like the Keruru Kahuru of 270 m and the Gura of 240 m in the South area, or the Chania Falls in the central sector of the park. Due to the high humidity, the tracks crossing the park are muddy for a large part of the year.
Aberdare contains a rich botanic wealth, a mixture of equatorial exuberance and alpine vegetation. Above the 2,000 m level, the rain forest gives way to the bamboo jungles, that at 3,000 m become mountain prairies in which groundsel and giant lobelias grow high.
Locality:The Aberdare range, 160 km long, is located in the Central Highlands, Central Province, west of Mount Kenya and north of Nairobi, serving as the Kenyan Rift Valley's east wall. The national park comprises a longitudinal strip from south to north, with a projection toward the east denominated The Salient, that runs down to an altitude of 2,130 m, near the town of Nyeri. The Salient has its origin in an ancient migratory route of elephants between the range and Mount Kenya.

After a relaxing week in Florida where the sun never stopped shining, I am back home in Ontario, where the temperatures have done a nose dive from where they were when I left a week ago. I left Mike back in Tampa for a few more days for his "annual boys only sports trip." I know...not fair, at all.
But really, I'm just grateful to have had the chance to get away and spend some time relaxing in the sunshine before the move, which is a mere 26 days a way. But I don't want to think of the fact that I haven't started packing yet. I'd much rather reminisce about my vacation.
The first night, after exploring Clearwater and lying in the sun by the ocean, we headed to a restaurant called, "Cristino's Coal Oven Pizza." The ambience and staff were great, but most of all, the pizza was spectacular. Thin, crispy crust with fresh toppings and fresh storemade gelato for dessert, which they bring around in little tester spoons after your meal. Truly tempting, so how could I resist and not order a delicious combination of hazelnut and roasted almond?
sooooo good.....
After dinner it was time to visit the ocean again before retiring for the night, after all we'd been up since 3:00 a.m. to catch a 6:00 a.m. flight.
While in Clearwater, we pretty much relaxed by the pool or at the beach. However, we did go on a couple of excursions, one to Tarpon Springs where we visited the sponge docks and had lunch at a greek restaurant.
I had no idea that sponges were harvested from the ocean. Who knew?
Another day a trolley took us to a historic community in Tampa called Ybor. The aroma of Cuban coffee filled the air and there was no shortage of shops selling hand-rolled cigars.
hanging with the mayor :)
enjoying espresso in ybor
It was a wonderful relaxing vacation and now it's time to switch into get ready for Easter mode and get packing mode.
Have a great Monday!

I have been searching different apartments and when i stopped by Brownsburg Crossing the office staff was great, very friendly and showed me all the amenities, Answered all my questions and even gave me informations I didnt think to ask about! This is a great property and I will recommend this complex to my friends and family!
Great apartments. Great staff. Love it!
I never heard back from them. Called and left Voicemail, emailed them through this portal. Nothing. My wife had to reach out to them via phone 2 days later and finally someone addressed our questions.
They said they were going to fix my counter. A lot of things weren't up to par when I moved in to the apartment. It's been almost a year and they haven't fixed them.
The parking is awful. You register you have two cars and you cant even park in the area you live in. Then when you bring it to their attention and ask for one of their coveted parking spots it costs $10 and they are so UNORGANIZED they think your building has the two spots its allowed. Even after you have told them NO ONE in your building has a spot. Hot mess. The carpet is god awful. Your vaccuum is going to pull all of the stitching or whatever it is in the carpet out of the floor!!
DISCOVER THE QUALITY LIFESTYLE YOU DESERVE....Brownsburg Crossing, where the architecture is classic, and the amenities are country club quality. Strategically located in the quiet countryside of Hendricks county with excellent school systems and great access to I-74, 65 and 465. The lifestyle you love and the convenience you demand, together at last at Brownsburg Crossing.

Fluid Named a Star Tribune Top Workplace Third Year in a Row
Date: July 18, 2017
Minneapolis, MN – Fluid Interiors has been named one of the Top Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune. Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health and satisfaction.
Produced by the same team that compiles the 25-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, the analysis included responses from over 69,100 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations. Over 1,500 companies were invited to participate.
Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, "The companies in the Star Tribune Top Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota. My congratulations to each of these exceptional companies."
Fluid Interiors, named a Best In Class Haworth dealer for the past six years, provides workplace products and services to companies throughout Minnesota and North America. We continually strive to offer an exceptional customer experience, whether we're working with healthcare facilities, higher education institutions, or corporate offices. In the same way we hope to inspire our own people to reach their maximum potential, our goal is to help customers achieve an inspiring space that aligns with their business objectives.
The results of the Star Tribune Top Workplaces are based on survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention.


text: Well I sold my Droid for $315 and grabbed the HTC today!! So far I love it! So much smaller and lighter than the Moto which is great for me since I carry in my pocket! The phone is very similar to the Droid minus the keyboard and weight. Phone is very fast but so is the Droid. 7 screens is a plus! I am a novice user just getting used to the android base but I say the main difference between the phone for a novice like me is the basic appearance. I prefer lighter phones and did not use the physical keyboard of the Droid which is why I switched. Personal preference is what it comes down too.

The Arizona Women's Education and Employment Luncheon Raised Funds and Awareness
Faces of Success Honor Three Successful Women Who have Persevered
Photos by Ben Arnold Photography
The Arizona Women's Education and Employment (AWEE) Luncheon took place on a beautiful and breezy afternoon at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa on Wednesday, Nov. 16 that honored three very different women for their accomplishments, perseverance and ability to overcome a variety of obstacles with the assistance and resources of AWEE. Scottsdale.com was proud to be in attendance, lending its support to such a worthy cause.
AWEE 'Faces of Success' Luncheon Honorees (L-R) Keanna Curry, Amanda Howard and Tracey Latham
3TV news anchor Nicole Crites, KTAR news anchor Jim Sharpe and Black, Starr & Frost Chairman and CEO Alfredo J. Molina co-emceed the luncheon. Like the last several years, a fun component of the luncheon returned when a prize giveaway themed like the game show, "Let's Make a Deal" had guests rummaging through their purses and pockets looking for requested items. Some of the random things that Crites, Sharpe and Molina were looking for included a wine bottle opener, a green tea bag and a dog biscuit. The first guest to come forward with the requested item won a prize. Each year, luncheon guests look forward to hearing what things the hosts might be looking for from people's personal stash of belongings.
The three women honored during the luncheon included Tracey Latham, Amanda Howard and Keanna Curry. The three women could not have had different stories and they all came from various backgrounds. All three women, again, found themselves in very challenging positions, yet were able to draw on the support system, encouragement and resources offered to them through AWEE. Their stories were touching and inspirational.
Phillis Dumond, Winner of Some Fun Giveaway Items with Black, Starr & Frost Chairman and CEO, Alfredo J. Molina
The 90-minute luncheon also featured more than nearly two dozen giveaways and raffle prizes including a Molina Fine Jewelers-donated 18 carat white gold and diamond bracelet valued at more than $7,800. The lucky winner of the bracelet, Phyllis Dumond beamed with excitement as she came up to claim her exquisite bracelet. Raffle gift baskets included everything from a L'Auberge Sedona getaway and a night in an Arizona Diamondbacks suite, to a stay at the Passalacqua Winery in California, spa services, pampering items and much more.
Vases for the table centerpieces were created by Paul McCartney's daughter, Heather, and donated by an anonymous donor. The beautiful potted floral centerpieces were available for a flat fee purchase during the luncheon.
2016 Faces of Success Honored Included:

Drone used to bring drugs, tobacco into B.C. prison

Published Friday, January 12, 2018 12:18PM PST
A drone was used to drop a package of $26,500 worth of tobacco and drugs into a medium-security prison in B.C., officials say.
The package was seized last month after being dropped at Matsqui Institution, a federal prison located in Abbotsford.
Matsqui officials provided few details in a statement Friday, but said that the Correctional Service of Canada is heightening measures to prevent contraband from entering prisons.
Inmates are not permitted to deal or use illicit drugs, and smoking has been banned in all federal institutions for a decade.
Thorough search procedures are in place at all CSC facilities, and staff, visitors, volunteers and delivery people are all searched upon entry. Search techniques include metal detectors, drug-detecting scanners, X-rays and dogs.
Prisoners' cells are frequently searched, and offenders are tested for illegal substances regularly, CSC's website says.
It is a criminal offence to bring drugs, weapons and other contraband into a federal institution, and those suspected of smuggling something in can face testing, be denied the visit, or sentenced to jail time if convicted.
Drone deliveries are an issue at institutions around the world. In 2015, a heroin drop sparked a riot in a prison yard in Ohio, and a new correctional facility in Nova Scotia announced staff were looking at obtaining their own drones to detect those of would-be smugglers.
The BBC obtained footage in 2016 of a drone delivering drugs and cellphones to a facility in London, and last February, Quebec guards said they'd noticed a 15 per cent increase in the number of drones sightings near a jail in the capital.
CSC asks anyone with additional information relating to security issues of all kinds to contact its anonymous tipline at 1-866-780-3784.
"These activities may be related to drug use or trafficking that may threaten the safety and security of visitors, inmates and staff members working at CSC."
Matsqui Institution was originally opened in 1966 as a drug dependency treatment facility for male inmates. It was designated a medium-security site in 1981 and has a capacity of 446 inmates.

It appears that Rihanna will be hassled with umbrella references for the rest of her adult life. The newly-cropped singer was leaving Fred Segal yesterday, when a photog asked her if she purchased an umbrella. Originality once again takes a backseat to the obvious.
BTW, RiRi informed TMZ she has her own line of umbrellas ... ellas ellas. Yes, we know. Old joke.

A bunch of gangsters move into your neighborhood and start beating up everybody and stealing anything they can get their hands on. Some locals cut a deal with the gangsters. These greedy little shysters work for the alien Crime Lords and get rich. Naturally, such scum are shunned by the better class of their own people. But they don't like being shunned- more especially because knowledge of their degraded status reduces the commission they are able to charge the Mleccha Mafia.
So they claim to be far Holier and more Spiritual and more Moral than even the elite of their own Society. How do they get away with this imposture? Well, one way is by claiming to know the true interpretation of Holy Scripture- indeed, they go further and claim they know the true interpretation of any and every Holy Scripture that ever was or might come to be. Another way is to claim to be great patriots who only collaborated with the foreign gangsters so as to raise up the Nation till it once again occupy a wholly imaginary pinnacle of Purity and Enlightenment and true Humanitarianism.
Such was the origin of the Brahmo Samaj. Its founder thought worshiping idols was very very bad even though guys who weren't worshipping idols were self evidently no angels themselves.
Another thing which was very very bad was polytheism- like that of the Trinitarian Christians. Since conversion to Islam was no longer profitable this was an excellent argument to make. After all, Hindus who converted to Christianity were expected to lead a more, not less, moral life by their new Masters. That, by itself, disqualified converts from being the gangsters' compradors of choice. Hypocritical Hindu 'Brahmos' on the other hand were just what the Doctor ordered.
Unfortunately, though Brahmoism started off as anti-Hindu, its swift degeneration into an endogamous caste meant that Hindu values spontaneously regenerated within it and so, as time went on, even Brahmo's became patriots. Tagore himself stopped inveighing against the Freedom Fighters.
Why? He needed Marwari money.
Brahmoism had all but disappeared by the time I was born. Hegelian Marxism had been found to be a more potent source of mischief to the commonweal than even Benthamite Unitarianism. However, one wan hope remained- viz. the elderly expat Bengali Econ Professor. Don't write off Brahmoism till the very last of them bites the dirt pillow.

Get the Mlais M9 with MT6592M octa-core chip & 5-inch Gorilla Glass for just $79!
by Jun 9, 2015 1:13 am0
We have just spotted a great deal on Mlais M9. This particular budget smartphone which usually retails for around $100 is now being offered for an amazing price tag of just $79. The M9 is a great budget smartphone, especially for those who are not willing to spend too much. It offers much more than regular sub-$80 phones, which is why, we thought it may interest our readers. You can read on for more information.
The Mlais M9 comes with the octa-core MT6592M processor clocked at 1.4GHz and 1GB of RAM on board. This combination is pretty good for a super cheap device. You get 8GB of expandable memory inside and a 5-inch 940 x 540 pixel display up front. The surprise here is that the phone is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass. There will be 2100mAh battery on board. As for software, it will run on the Android 4.4 KitKat version. There will be an 8MP camera at the back along with a 2MP front facing shooter, but don't expect much from these camera units.
As you can see, this isn't the latest specs, but its good enough for your everyday basic usage. So, in case you are looking for a second cheap handset or for just basic use, the Mlais M7 should serve the purpose. What's more, the design looks good and the phone is slim measuring just 7.5mm.
We don't know how long will this sale last, so make sure to check out the device as soon as you can.
So, what do you think about the phone? Too old specs or is it good enough for $80?

The making of a vegetable garden.
2 comments:
Two quick, funny stories about gardening.ReplyDelete
In the eighth grade I decided to start my own vegetable garden. My grandma helped me out and gave me a ton of seeds. When my carrots started growing, I had no idea what they would look like, but I sure had a lot of "weeds" growing. So I picked those of course. When my grandma asked me how it was going, I just told her that I had no carrots, but a bunch of weeds. When I described the weeds to her, she laughed and said that I had just pulled out all of my carrots. Fail!
I also planted corn. The corn was growing beautifully, and the ears of corn were beginning to mature. But I had a bad ant infestation. My own solution to the problem was to just spray the corn stalk with ant killer. Makes sense, right? Yeah, it killed all my corn, and I never got to enjoy any of it. I did get a ton of cucumbers and zucchini. Those grow really fast.
Good luck with your garden, and please learn from my pre-teen brain mistakes! :)
Planting boxes are the way to go... wish I had the patience to garden that way. You're going to enjoy it, there's something so simple yet satisfying about walking out and staring at your garden and seeing the fruits of the labor. Plus it all tastes so great.ReplyDelete

This material must not be used for commercial purposes, or in any hospital or medical facility. Failure to comply may result in legal action.
Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis is inflammation of the bursa in your hip. The bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and a tendon. A tendon is a cord of strong tissue that connects muscles to bones.
- NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling, pain, and fever. NSAIDs are available without a doctor's order. Ask your healthcare provider which medicine is right for you. Ask how much to take and when to take it. Take as directed. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding and kidney problems if not taken correctly.
- Antibiotics: These help fight an infection caused by bacteria. You may need antibiotics if your bursitis is caused by infection.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him of her if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Manage your symptoms:
- Rest: Rest your hip as much as possible to decrease pain and swelling. Slowly start to do more each day. Return to your daily activities as directed.
- Ice: Ice helps decrease swelling and pain. Ice may also help prevent tissue damage. Use an ice pack, or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel and place it on your hip for 15 to 20 minutes, 3 to 4 times each day, as directed.
- Sleep position: Do not lie on your injured hip. You may be more comfortable if you sleep on your stomach or back.
- Physical therapy: A physical therapist teaches you exercises to help improve movement and strength, and to decrease pain.
Prevent another hip injury:
- Stretch, warm up, and cool down: Always stretch and do warmup and cool-down exercises before and after you exercise. This will help loosen your muscles and decrease stress on your hip. Rest between workouts.
- Wear proper shoes: Wear shoes that fit properly and support your feet. You may need to wear shoe inserts called orthotics. Orthotics help position your foot correctly as you walk or exercise.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Ask your healthcare provider how much you should weigh. Ask him to help you create a weight loss plan if you are overweight.
- Keep pressure off your hips: Do not stand or sit for long periods of time. Sit on padded surfaces, such as a cushion or pad, whenever possible. Bend your knees when you pick up objects from the ground.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- Your pain and swelling increase.
- Your symptoms do not improve with treatment.
- You have a fever.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.

Grant's Atlas of Anatomy
The Canadian anatomist J. C. Boileau Grant was renowned for his dedication to research and teaching and enjoyed a high reputation for his very precise and highly instructive dissection specimens. During World War II, when European anatomy atlases were unavailable in ally countries, he decided to bring out his own atlas. Thus, in 1943 Grant's Atlas of Anatomy became the first anatomical atlas published in North America.
In 2009 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins published the twelfth edition edited by Anne Agur (University of Toronto, Canada) and Arthur Dalley (Vanderbilt University, USA). The 834-pages thick book covers the entire macroscopic anatomy with lifelike and schematic illustrations, clinical applications and tables. It comes with an access code to a website with further online resources.
Each section begins with a systematic overview of the topic (e.g. bones, nerves and blood vessels). From there, it uncovers the area layer-by-layer as if you would see it in a real dissection. Most illustrations come with a descriptive text, many of which include the physiology or clinical relevance of the structure or organ. Numerous photos displaying the surface anatomy are distributed throughout the chapters which you would not find as such in other atlases.
Tables list the most important information about the muscles, nerves and arteries in note form. One distinct feature of Grant's Atlas of Anatomy is its high number of radiological images such as ultrasounds and CT scans with detailed descriptions. By purchasing the book, you also gain access to a website which offers all images from the atlas, video clips, USMLE-style questions and exercises.
ConsThe biggest difference between Grant's and other atlases is the inconsistency of image quality. While some are very realistic and rich in detail, others resemble a cheap cartoon. Therefore it becomes rather challenging to study the anatomy thoroughly with the help of these pictures.
In addition, Grant's has much fewer labels per figure than other atlases. That clearly has an educational purpose and is truly helpful for beginners. Committed students, however, might find it rather annoying not to be able to find further information about smaller structures or regions. Finally, some topics are covered quite superficially, particularly embryology and neuroanatomy, which one is forced to look up in other atlases.
Since its first edition, Grant's Atlas of Anatomy became one of the most popular atlases among medical students in the English-speaking literature. It follows the idea of presenting anatomy as lively and clinically relevant as possible. The book tries to cover the entire macroscopic anatomy of the human body in one volume and is particularly aimed to serve as an introduction for beginners (e.g. preclinical students). However this leads to the problem that the images all together are neither as comprehensive nor detailed as other atlases. Unfortunately the quality of the illustrations is not consistent, which makes it rather difficult to enjoy learning with this book. Furthermore, certain topics are scarcely discussed which is why a second book will certainly be necessary to get complete knowledge of the macroscopic anatomy.
One positive point is that the 12th edition of Grant's Atlas of Anatomy is currently available for the student-friendly price of around $32. So even if you do not like this book, at least its purchase will not burn a hole in your wallet. Note that the most recent edition published in 2013 has only a few more improvements, especially some updated illustrations, but is not worth the much higher price of $118.
If you are not keen on spending money on books which are just going to rot in your bookshelf, try out Kenhub's anatomy quizzes and videos instead. In combination with Kenhub's free anatomy atlas and library of articles, you will master the subjects of Human anatomy and histology in no time. And if you are not happy, just tell us and you will get a refund of your current monthly fee. No 'ifs', no 'buts'.

Marvell was a dark-complexioned man, with an expressive countenance, silent and reserved among strangers, but lively and facetious in the company of his intimates. His early poems express a fondness for the charms of rural nature, and much delicacy of sentiment; they are ingenious and full of fancy, after the manner of Cowley and his contemporaries.
Political events in the early years of the nineteenth century stimulated Wordsworth (1770-1850) to many expressions of patriotic fervor. In 1802 he copied the 'Horatian Ode' into his notebook W and composed some of his political sonnets as well. The one printed below, while commenting on the current scene, looks back with admiration to seventeenth-century Republican leaders and writers. Three years later he was to suggest to Sir Walter Scott, at work on an edition of Dryden, that he might 'peep with advantage' into Marvell's poems, adding, somewhat disingenuously, 'which I have not seen these many many years' (Early Letters of William and Dorothy Wordsworth, ed. E.de Selincourt, 1935, p. 541).
From Poems, 2 vols, 1807, I, Sonnet XV (c. 1802)
Great Men have been among us; hands that penn'd
And tongues that utter'd wisdom; better none:
The later Sydney, Marvel, Harrington,
Young Vane, and others who call'd Milton Friend.1
1 Algernon Sidney (1622-83) was beheaded for supposed complicity in the Rye House Plot; James Harrington (1611-77), author of Oceana, was imprisoned after the Restoration; Sir Henry Vane (1612-92) was a Puritan statesman; 'and others' included Cyriac Skinner, according to a manuscript note.

How often do you give thanks each day? I try to sprinkle liberal doses of thanks throughout mine. And, besides the obvious – that thanks is a prayer to God that I am grateful for even the smallest thing in my life – being thankful has helped me appreciate the good and sweep away stress from the difficult.
Am I thankful for my illnesses? Praising the pain? Well, not exactly. Like you, I'm sure, I'd rather not live with lupus and all the other things that are a constant challenge health-wise. But I am thankful for the care I receive, the new mornings, the people I've met because of my illnesses. On a good day, too, I'm particularly thankful for the moments where I feel uplifted, renewed, rested, and inspired.
Being thankful helps to approach new and existing challenges with determination, resolve. For example, even in the midst of a crisis (perhaps a new diagnosis), finding reason for thanksgiving – catching something early, formulating a plan with the medical team – brings a breath of hope into the situation and helps balance the tough with the tender love God has for us.
Thanksgiving also allows us to find peace in the middle of a storm of trouble. It enables us to gather our angels and face challenges knowing God is good and His goodness permeates even the most dire of situations.
I mentioned the people I've met because of my illness. Truly, these men and women, young and not-so-young, are constant reminders to me that health problems need not be "all bad," but rather bring with them cause for inspiration, encouragement and, yes, thanks.
If we are open to recognizing them.
Blessings for the day,

A Good Measure ofFunky services
Hi, I'm Chris Corkin and I make things with pixels. I am freelance creative designer from the North East England. I offer a wide range of applications, which include corporate/brand identity, print marketing, event marketing design, website design and development, electronic communications, trade show materials, document management and printing. I help small and medium-sized businesses refresh and create new ventures.
I began The Design Guru in 2005 as a side project, whilst working in the design industry (for around 7 years). To put it simply, because what I design is based upon the client's brief and requirements. I aim to generate intelligent and creative solutions that enable my clients to stand out from the competition. I try to keep things simple and effective and ensure all my solutions are engaging and appropriate.
Web Design & Web Development
Concept Designs / Navigation Layout / Design Development / Domain Registration & Website Hosting
A website is an essential part of every business's brand identity and one day it may become the single most important element of any brand.
A successful website design is one that gets your information across clearly, simply and creatively. Your content needs to be easily accessible – and your brand needs room to shine.
I design beautifully crafted websites which are easy to navigate and easy to be found. Whether you need a simple one-pager, or a more complex based website, I can create something eye-catching, professional and attractive that ensures your business stands the best possible chance in the online world.
Print Design
Leaflets / Flyers / Posters / Magazines / Newsletters / Menus / Stationery / Brochures & Adverts
Print design stimulates all of our senses and therefore has dimensions and possibilities that the digital world cannot; textures you can feel, spaces you can fill and the smell of fresh ink.
I design custom graphics for a wide range of printed materials, from magazines to menus, flyers to brochures. In short, if you can provide the dimensions, I can provide the stunning designs.
Should you also need your designs printed, I have excellent relations with a network of printers throughout the country and can confidently offer the most reasonable print/design packages available.
Logo Development
Logos / Branding / Coporate Identity & Brand Management
Logos are the face of every organisation from Twitter to the local butchers shop. They inspire, inform and educate their audiences, and every single one aims to both attract new customers and encourage user engagement with the products or services they offer.
I work hard to develop logo concepts that not only look good, but will offer your business a strong platform from which to build your reputation. This ensures that you have the best possible foundation for building your business and carrying out other marketing initiatives.
If you are looking for a new corporate identity and want to make sure you get the right image, then make sure you contact me today and ask about my logo design services.
Infographic Design
Static / Interactive & Animated
Over the past few months, I've been approached to design many infographics and they have quickly become one of the largest areas of my business.
For those of you who aren't familiar with them already, an infographic is essentially a way of converting dry statistics into fun, easy to digest illustrations.
They're a fantastic marketing tool as they really get the reader involved in the topic, as opposed to black and white written data which they may well just ignore.
Commercial / Coporate / PR / Education / Interior / Architecture / Retouching
I have provided product and location photography for clients with experience of over 10 years. This allows me to visualise the required photographs and produce them quickly, without involving other photographers. This method of working is more cost effective and less time consuming for my clients and allows me to experiment with creative photographic ideas, allows me to produce photographs just as the design requires.
Digital photo retouching and restoration is used by virtually all leading photographers. It adds a professional look that has so much more to offer than the original.
Just like an agency, but better!
You'll get a full time graphic designer! I work directly with clients offering the same services as any graphic design agency. I work closely with photographers, illustrators, copywriters and printers – whatever your project demands.
Quality with less overheads
Means more creative bang for your marketing pennies. No fluffy account managers + no plush offices (well not in a swanky glass building on a riverside!) + sleak company cars to pay for = Better rates. Simple.
Just what is in the Design Guru's box?
Me and only me. Everything from the brief taker, to senior creative and finally the account manager in one funky box. One single point of contact from start to finish. No confusion or complexity. Just your project delivered without fuss, but with maximum impact.

Beer Review: Full Boar Scotch Ale from Devil's Canyon Brewing Company
If you could capture the experience of walking through the woods on a fall afternoon just as the leaves are starting to change color and put it in a bottle (or can), this scotch ale is what it would taste like. It's one that will warm you to your toes and make you actually look forward to shorter days.
Beer Details: Full Boar Scotch Ale from Devil's Canyon Brewing Company, San Carlos, CA (Scotch Ale, 7.4% ABV, 12 IBU)
Appearance: Dark mahogany with a glossy head of mocha-colored foam
Aroma: Fresh-baked brownies, maple candy, coca-cola
Taste: I'm serious with this whole "walk in the woods" metaphor! Take a second and just imagine it: the chill in the air, the coziness of your winter coat, the dry and nutty aroma of fallen leaves, golden sunlight warming the tree trunks, wood smoke in the air. I swear, that is exactly what this beer tastes like.
It's malty and smooth with a lazy heaviness in the mouth. A touch of peaty woodsmoke rounds out the flavors of brown sugar and toasted nuts. It's not quite as sweet as the aroma would lead you to believe — it's more on the "wheat bread" end of the baked goods spectrum and it picks up more mellow coffee and dark chocolate flavors as it warms. The beer is actually fairly dry for all its malty flavors with a pleasant warming alcohol quality in the throat.
This is one of my top picks this fall and winter for everything from coming in from a day outdoors to the holiday table. It hits that craft beer sweet spot that guarantees it will please both beer geeks and occasional beer drinkers at a party. This scotch ale also drinks well on its own but would go fantastically with just about any casserole or roast you put on the table.
→ Pair This Beer With: Pumpkin Chili

While it is admittedly a small sample, the quality of this summer's crop of AID FOR AIDS interns gives us reason to believe that America's colleges and universities can still turn out highly-educated, gifted and dedicated young professionals.
Last week, we reluctantly said goodbye to our last 2011 intern, Michael Zingman, who will be returning to his pre-med studies at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. We want to thank Michael for making a very substantial contribution to our organization in a very short time.
During his stay at AFAI, Michael brought his knowledge and skills in the area of social media and database management to bear upon our medication recycling program and fundraising activities. Like his fellow interns, Michael immediately fit right into our organizational culture, shifting smoothly among various projects and pitching in wherever, and whenever, he was needed.
"Michael doesn't make a lot of noise or go out of his way to try to impress people with his talent and intellect," says Eduardo Guzman, AFAI programs and development manager, who supervised Michael this summer. "He just shows up and does high-quality work. And, when he does speak up, he's saying something that's going to benefit the organization."
Michael says that working at AFAI helped him develop his skills on numerous social media tools, and taught him a great deal about various HIV medications, which will certainly be useful in his future career.
But what most impressed and inspired Michael was the passion and dedication of the individual staff members at AFAI. "They are so excited about the work they do, and they derive so much satisfaction from it…it was great being around people who are devoting their lives to a great cause."
We have no doubt that Michael will bring that same excitement and devotion to the medical profession, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.

Tommy Matthews
Last Saturday at the Irish Cup match with Moyola Park we sadly lost Tommy Matthews, a lifetime Ballymena United supporter. All connected with Sports Bond feel the tragedy of the day more personally as Tommy was a Sports Bond agent almost since its inception. Tommy and the late John Davison ran an agency in the Glenwherry area. Tommy also supported every ballot and promotion run by the club.
Tommy (aged 80) was ever present at every game, home and away, and was even at Solitude in the stormy conditions of Tuesday 2nd. He was very much "one of our own" stated promoter and Sales and Marketing Executive Brian Thompson, he never wavered in his dedication and support of the club and he had just purchased his ticket for the Co Antrim Shield final.
In recent years Tommy would personally deliver his Sports Bond returns to Brian's home and his humour and jovial disposition meant the craic was mighty. You only had to sit beside Tommy at a match to see his passion for the club commented Brian. He will be missed greatly. Sports Bond wish to extend their gratitude to Dr Nigel Kyle, Dr Stephen McCurdy and club doctor Brian Patterson for their valiant attempts to help Tommy, paramedics and St John Ambulance staff for their professionalism and our own stewards and showgrounds staff for their help and support in the tragic events of Saturday.

AUSTIN, Texas—With an eye toward developing new technology and possible M&A activity, logistics security firm FreightWatch International announced this month a $10 million capital raise led by Bridge Investments, with help from Egis Capital and the Kroll family.
This is the first equity raise in the company's 12 years, said CEO Barry Conlon, and though it remains difficult to raise funds in this economy, "we see cargo theft really on the rise. We're seeing a demand and more and more requests for locations that we're not currently in." To meet that demand, FreightWatch need some capital to grow quickly. Conlon said to look for new locations "not in the short term, but in the middle term."

Will QND dry WVO enough to perform acid/base procedure? I can need another source and have one that I quit because it titrated at 12 and I never had good luck drying oil by heating and spraying, and besides, I'm trying to use as little energy as possible. So I'm thinking about QND to dry oil before processing. Also, how much of a pain is it to take oily QND and dry it? Will I have to do it after every batch?
I use Q&D and I doubt you will have much success using Q&D on dirty oil. I suggest an upflow cell with a layer of waste glycerol in the bottom as discussed here:
Then run the output from the upflow cell through a Q&D column to ensure dry oil.
Many would agree with you. Warming and settling seems to be more effective on problem oil. Of course food particles, PHO and fats will retain water more than clear oil, which adds to the problem.
John, interesting. But doing this seems to be the same thing as doing a glc pretreatment. Do you think performing pretreatment, drain glc, then circulate pretreated oil thru QND tower back into the processor work? If done while still warm, would being tht help QND to remove water?
How much trouble is it to clean and dry QND?
Thanks for your time.
I suggest an upflow cell with a layer of waste glycerol in the bottom as discussed here:
Then run the output from the upflow cell through a Q&D column to get dry oil.
It's rather easy to clean and dry Q&D if it's been used with clean oil. Spread the Q&D on a layer of paper towel with newspaper beneath and let it air dry. The clean oil drains off.This message has been edited. Last edited by: john galt,

Ok. Let me sit back and take a deep breath. This is pretty amazing.
According to this eBay seller, this is a 1960 Fender Jazz Bass actually setup, modified and played by Jaco Pastorius (eBay Item # 190338618095)
Apparently, Jaco had a unique arrangement with owners who had basses he liked -- he would set them up according to his personal preference and come around to play them whenever he was in the vicinity.
And there were several such basses around the country -- which probably helped since Jaco was often known to be without an instrument having hocked it for various reasons.
And according to no less an authority than Mark Egan, Jaco liked this particular bass so much that he wanted to make it a fretless, but the actual owner declined any such modification.
Egan, who knew Jaco well, actually played a Jaco-modified fretless bass, a gift from Jaco himself, on the first Pat Metheny Group album.
I'm really digging the heavy thumb-wear over the bridge pickup, worn well into the wood.
You can almost smell the mojo.
For many bass players -- and for some of us guitar-playing Jaco fans -- this is akin to discovering the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, the Dead Sea Scrolls or a Hendrix Strat.
Now if this bass could only talk..

The title of this design is 'Scherzando,' which is a directive to perform a certain passage of music in a lively, playful manner. The original etching, created in a signed and numbered edition of 100 examples, is 6"x4" on a sheet 10"x7." Though a beautiful print, it was too large for actual use as a bookplate. I had 250 re-printed by a fine lithographer on rag paper, with rounded corners self-stick backing. The detail and the colors are virtually identical to the original, and it is of remarkable quality.
Cernestova used motifs from Venice and from Music (piano, lute, guitar), and the sun & moon. The woman's dress pattern is adapted from a design by M. C. Escher, the Dutch artist. Escher also created bookplates which I collect at www.ArtistsMarket.com.
I am happy to trade the smaller printed version of this beautiful design, but the larger signed and numbered original etching must be kept for very very special uses.
