With a huge thanks to my Clan, Immortalis Noctis (thanks, Blip and Isgu!), here's the notes pulled together that provide you with a quick and dirty path to increasing your Power in Destiny 2.
Complete The Story Campaign
- While levelling spend glimmer as soon as vendors are able to sell you a good upgrade.
- Completing the campaign should leave your character at level 20, and around 200 Power.
200-265 Power level
- Complete Cayde quest for Patrols.
- Open engrams from Rockstar promotion.
- Choose one Planet to grind on.
- Sticking with one Planet means you get lots of the same token to hand in.
- Save these tokens for higher into the Power level grind before handing them in.
- Make sure the Planet isn't the one where the Flashpoint that week is held at: save that one for higher light level.
Activities To Complete
- Patrols.
- Heroic Public events.
- Adventure missions - not worth doing for grinding as other things are more value for time.
- Some of the world quest (Do not finish as the end reward should be saved for 265+).
- Lost sectors.
Other Notes
- Don't infuse items: they are a waste of materials that are needed later on. However, if you need to infuse to reach 265 then do it.
- Open Legendary/Exotic Engrams as you get them as they will not level up once acquired.
- Don't pick up Luminous Engrams until later on as they will level up until you acquire them from the NPC (don't pick up any Quest reward Engram until you hit a watch).
- Spend Glimmer at the Gunsmith.
- When above 280 power more options at gunsmith should become available to upgrade mods, and get the +5 power mods.
- World quests
- Flashpoints
- Milestones which drop Powerful Gear i would honestly save this for about 280 if possible
- Exotic quests for weapons
- Use these items to infuse with Legendaries
- This includes doing the Nightfall for the Rat King gun (do the Prestige version of Nightfall at around 295 Power)
Once all Powerful rewards and exotic quests/engrams have been acquired, Create a new character. These quests are weekly but character specific.
- Level to cap and transfer your gear from the first character.
- Some items are class specific so some may not be transferable.
- Do some Heroic Public events to get better class specific gear before beginning better quests.
- Repeat number the 265+ stages above.
At the higher stages (280+) gear will drop with a lower increase of Power and could show a lower Power than your current gear, and still be an upgrade
This is because your gear (Exotics will have a 5 mod, Legendary 3) should have a mod which increases the gear by 5. When infusing gear it is the base Power that is used, so the power without that mod. (Example: 280 with a +5 mod will show as 285 and so will upgrade if infused with a 284 power item to 289 (284+5 mod))
Once your three characters have all of their quests completed and all gear acquired from quests, it's best to go back to farming heroic public events. Progress from now will be very slow with Raids recommending 270 power level, something that is easily attainable.

I decided Needles-In-Boob and Needle-in-Chest/Lung warranted a treat. I had a few suggestion roll in (from people I listen to) as I explained the day. Suggestions ranged from the very adorable (milkshakes and curly fries, another kitten) to the bare-bones sensible (a day off, sleeping in) to the hard-to-pull-off-at-the-last-minute (a trip to Peru, a day at the spa) to the I'll-have-to-think-about-that-one (a boob tattoo saying "fuck off", an aura adjustment, a walk on hot coals). I love all of these ideas, really, and appreciate them all so very much, but decided a simple manicure and pedicure would fix me right up.
At the salon, a crazy woman with eight ultra-long orange fingernails (the pinkies were chewed off and unforch), kept coming into the place and heckling the nail techs in this freaky, tinny voice. Think Fran Drescher from the deep south. (I like hearing southern accents, love even. I'm not knocking them. Just saying, mixed with Fran Drescher, it's haarible.) My nail tech is Vietnamese, and we were merrily chatting away when the crackwhore busts in and goes, "Hownka ching ching chong! Damn Chinese ladies!" and runs away.
What??? We laugh and continue our conversation about Asian cooking.
Then, she comes back in, sucking on her pinky finger and sucking her teeth and goes, "Do you touch up roots?" And she's waving a box of root touch-up haircolor, presumably from the nearby pharmacy. She says it so weirdly that she's hard to really understand, so she is ignored. She goes, "Ya'll touch up roots or not, waterbug? Chonka ching ching chong!" at the top, and I mean top, of her lungs.
She comes back twice, both times asking customers if their manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxes, whatever "Feel so good, yeah you like that? Yeah, do you?" But not sexily. Menacingly. Meanly, even. Then, she was just sort of shouting and snorting and singing Coal Miner's Daughter really horribly. Finally she leaves. We all sort of looked at each other then giggled. How weird!
I don't even know where to go with that one. I'm going out to buy cat food before the child claws my eyes out.

Sunday Morning Nostalgia!
In the Barrel was one of the first pieces I painted after graduating UH. I waited for a couple of years before I sold it and had it scanned for print and released. This was right at the point that my cubist nature was getting a bit rounder and more detailed. I've always loved these colors together and the feeling that they invoke. There are a few of the limited edition canvas pieces left and available through the fine galleries worldwide that support my art as well as on my website.
Thanks for your interest in my art and continuing to follow the journey! Have a great day and spread the ALOHA!!

4-Star Recruit Picks OU
Grissom picks OU over KU: Geneo Grissom's cellular phone was active on Wednesday, which is hardly a revelation. Translation: His cell phone is his life - or, more appropriately, his lifeline. But one text message stood out above the dozens of others. It featured four simple words that made Grissom smile. "Is this the Sooner?" The author was Blake Bell, who rejoiced in Grissom's Tuesday-night decision to attend the University of Oklahoma because it means he'll never again find himself in the defensive end's crosshairs. Bell, Grissom and Bishop Miege receiver Justin McCay are considered the three best high school football players in the state of Kansas. On Wednesday, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables flew into town to meet with Grissom and complete the Sooners' trifecta. (Hutchinson News)

Interplay's Scott Bennie on RPG Writing
Category: News ArchiveHits: 1224
You may not know who Scott Bennie is, but there's a good chance you've read or played something he was involved in, be it various pen and paper RPGs, Interplay titles such as Fallout and Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, or even Blizzard's World of Warcraft. And if you'd like to know more about this veteran writer, there's a fresh interview with him up on Steemit, where he talks about his early career, his tenure at Interplay, and the current state of video game writing. He also speaks highly of Chris Avellone and offers some advice for aspiring writers. An excerpt:
How did you get into games – was it always on computer, or did you get into pen and paper first?
Scott: Pen an paper. In an editorial back in 1981, someone suggested that they publish a bounty hunter NPC class. The editor suggested the readers send in their class designs. I rose to the challenge, submitted mine, and lo and behold, it was published in Dragon #52 – the one with the Boris Vallejo cover.
Wow, it must have been awesome to be in the same stable as some Vallejo work?
Scott: It was certainly awesome to claim you had a Boris cover! (Even if it really wasn't an illustration of my stuff. :)) I kept writing for Dragon, but I wasn't good enough to make consistent sale for about three more years. But I kept at it, and Bruce Heard eventually commissioned anthology pieces and finally full modules from me.
At the time, I worked on Dungeons & Dragons, Champions, Runequest, Call of Cthulhu, and Traveller, and I joined several gaming APAs, amateur press compilations, which further honed my writing, exposed me to more games and design philosophies, and allowed me to make more contacts in the game industry.
And the Bounty Hunter was reprinted in Best of Dragon, but that's as far as he got.
So, is there a single career highlight that you are most proud of?
Scott: The Star Trek series was where I thought I clicked as a designer. LOTR was huge as my first work, and Castles was a huge seller, but Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary was the first work I was truly happy with. And beyond that, there was Starfleet Command and Fallout; two classic titles I was proud to be associated with.
Oh man, Fallout. What a game.
Scott: I didn't have that much to do with Fallout. A few maps, some bits of the Hub, and some system messages. And the Mysterious Stranger Perk. And I named Dogmeat – if anything endures of my writing career, it will be the name of that dog.
Do you still play many games – if so what?
Scott: A few strats, a few MMOs like World of Warcraft... Some RPGs like Torment: Tides of Numenera. I haven't finished it, but I like what I've seen. And I loved Planescape: Torment. Greatest RPG of all time.
I have to agree with you there. Some of the best writing (possibly the best?) in an RPG, would you say?
Scott: Easily. Chris Avellone is the best. I think we've got some tremendous talent in the business. I wish we were doing more with it than just creating shooters.
What do you think of the way game narrative has changed in the last couple decades. Are there some standouts for you?
Scott: There's a bit too much sameness in theme for me. I don't see the Secret of Monkey Islands or the Full Throttles in today's market. But the games that are out, like Last of Us, are excellent in writing and design.
Yep, Last of Us really has amazing writing – probably my favourite game of the last decade. Finally, do you have any advice for those who may be dreaming of a career in RPG writing?
Scott: Read broadly. Not just games, not just geek culture. Study history, read biographies, study the great plays of the mid-20th century. Look for genres that are not currently in favor and look for why they worked in their time. Get hired by a company in any capacity, and work your way up.

The Merlin
Características técnicas
- Código:DIST0491
- Idioma: Inglés
- Formato: Tapa dura
- Páginas: 304
- Fecha de publicación: Enero 2015
The Merlin is a fascinating small falcon, standing outside the usual grouping of the 'True Falcons', and with a range that is confined to northern climes, an exclusive preference that is shared by only one other, the much larger Gyrfalcon.
This is the first comprehensive book on the species, covering its complete circumpolar range. The book starts with a general comments on the evolution of the True Falcons and thoughts on their grouping, then covers the general characteristics of the Merlin, the species' habitat, its diet, breeding (territory, displays, pair formation, nest sites, eggs, chick growth, nest predation and breeding success), migration and wintering, survival, the Merlin's friend and foes, and estimations of the world population. It also includes data gathered with a unit flown on a male Merlin.
Previous books by the author include the award-winning Gyrfalcon (co-produced with Russian expert Eugene Potapov), the Snowy Owl (also with Eugene Potapov), the first field guide to birds and mammals of the Arctic, and The Arctic: The Complete Story which covered all aspects of the area.

Patricia Mazuy (France, 2000)
(a.k.a. The King's Daughters). "A compelling central performance from Isabelle Huppert . . . [who] quietly commands attention as she slides from worldly poise and absolute certainty about her mission to increasingly fearful behavior" (Variety). Set in seventeenth-century France, Saint-Cyr takes its title from a boarding school founded by Madame de Maintenon (Huppert) for the daughters of destitute noblemen. Huppert enacts a wonderful arc: a commoner who climbed the social ladder to become wife of Louis XIV, she initially espouses liberal values and the virtues of truth and beauty; however, when her students become increasingly empowered, both sexually and intellectually, a war of wills erupts, and Maintenon pursues a martial regimen of rules and regulations to keep her charges in check. Meticulously and lavishly executed, with music composed by John Cale, Saint-Cyr is a wryly conceived microcosm of its setting's social and political clashes.
—George Kaltsounakis, Cinematheque Ontario
• Written by Mazuy, Yves Thomas, from the novel La maison d'Esther by Yves Dangerfield. With Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Simon Reggiani, Jean-François Balmer. (119 mins, In French with English subtitles, Color, 35mm, From French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)

Snow, snow, snow, snow, SNOOW!!!! Today was a day of making the most of it, and I had a lot of fun.
It started with a photoshoot for a new music school I joined, then found me on the TTC talking to a relative stranger about life as a musician (something I'll come back to). The transit was taking me to a café called Snakes & Lattes, my first time ever and it was SOOOO cool. Imagine a large cafe with its largest wall covered end to end with shelves containing every board game you could possibly imagine. Pay $5 to get in and stay as long as you want. BAD. ASS. Met up my friend Ben there for a game and later joined with friends for an impromptu stab at the christie pits via crazy carpet and honest ed's toboggan (which broke 40 minutes in, naturally). All this ending in a freezing TTC ride home, a change into pajama pants (which by some stroke of serendipity had been on the floor near the heating vent) and now sitting here typing this. And then now. And then now. And then now.
Today was especially special for one good conversation with a guy who's name I won't remember. Not I can't. I CHOOSE not to remember.
The conversation was about what we were doing with music. This goes back a little to what I was discussing (with myself) yesterday, but basically we were sitting there reflecting on what we'd done to be where we were. It seemed like a series of steps, slowly disconnecting ourselves from the occupations/commitments that were unsavoury and replacing them with something a little closer to "right". I had gone from multiple retail jobs (literally, EVERY retail job in technology) to teaching 45 private students a week, to studio manager at this beautiful studio in Etobicoke and still teaching on the side. This year I struck out with just the studio and random corporate/wedding gigs to pay my way. To clarify, teaching was something I loved doing (if not with so many students I couldn't remember half their names), but the travel out of Toronto and boss there (who was two tracks short of an LP) made the job less than desirable, despite loving my students. The one day of teaching I've recently picked up has been with an awesome friend who's starting up her own school and is right down the street from me. In all respects a better situation. Plus I have a cute coworker. Who has a boyfriend. TYPICAL!
Anyway, I get caught up some times imagining all the things my band has not managed to do that I wish we could have. Keep in mind this is different from the issue yesterday where I'm comparing myself to others' success, but rather where I set up an expectation for myself and somehow fall short. Why can't I find an audience for my music? Why am I not good enough? Why can't I even keep a band together long enough to play a damn show!?*
The chat with <blank> (Sean? Taroon? Shirley?) gave meaning to an old adage, "Life is the journey, not the destination". Kind of like when I started this blog I was re-evaulating and appreciating the wisdom in the ole glass half full/half empty adage, I think I'm almost ready to really understand the "journey" quote. Today I had a blast, spent some time with amazing people, did a fun shoot with some fellow teachers and on monday I get to go to a multi-million dollar recording facility to spend time with maybe the coolest group of coworkers I have ever had. While I'm there I get to do a job that I may not even be qualified to do with people who for some reason, seem to genuinely respect me**.
Today I have a lot to appreciate. And even if I haven't done everything I said I'd do at 20, I certainly can't say I'm not getting closer to the life I want to lead and the man I want to be.
Building, managing and letting go of expectations*
Being worthy of your present, your past and your future**

I know, it sounds so sophisticated huh? 🙂 I just discovered yesterday, thanks to Rachel, that this is actually the "real" name of the drink my husband orders… He calls it a "grande 2 splenda, extra foam latte." It's so much easier now to pull up to the "Buck" and order one dry "Capp" please! Mmmm, yummy….
One dry cappuccino please….

I'm personally still holding onto my iced venti, double classic syrup, ice to the bend in the cup the rest 1/2 & 1/2 iced coffee! lol
but come winter I'll be switching to raspberry black and white hot chocolates and breve no water with whip and nutmeg chais! YUM!
Cappuccinos are great! Only if the bar-person knows how to make quality foam when they steam their milk though. 🙂 And Holsinger and is alignment of labels…. Like it's going to mess up his feng shui or something! 🙂

I've been following my heart lately and doing what I love: reading. While I've been flipping through fewer adult novels and creative nonfiction (my favorites), I've been editing like mad and reading tons of picture books to the kids. My happy place is with the written word, and summer is a spectacular time to re-engage with what I love and make some ambitious reading goals.
We are counting down to the start of the library's summer reading program, and I hope to enter some reviews of adult books in addition to tracking the minutes the kids and I spend reading together each week. I love our library's program. The kids just have to read 100 minutes a week and do an activity (such as story time or the weekly craft) to receive a prize during our library trips. These days, both Nora and Carson enjoy a variety of books. We read classics like Babar and those by Dr. Seuss as well as contemporary staples like Pinkalicious and ones by Mo Willems. I just bought the kids collections of phonics and sight word readers with Superman and Disney Princess themes, which add some fun and simpler reading to our queue.
Now that I am devoting significant hours to paid writing and editing, pleasure reading has become a precious commodity. My mom gave me several books recently that I hope to finish by summer's end. The Rosie Project, The Girl on the Train, and Wild top the list. I can read on the treadmill at the YMCA, which should give me some time to knock these out as well as days at the beach with grandparents enlisted to watch the kids.
What's on your summer reading list?

So here's what I'm wondering: if Ben checks the box, what does it do? If he unchecks it what does it do?
Walter F. writes "...makes me think of the communist era (I'm from Romania) when people had the freedom to vote for the only presidential candidate."
Somehow I don't think that ING will be able to locate the transaction with the confirmation number Justin received...
The joke's on Travis H. here, since after he clicks "I Agree" he is then obligated to write the Terms of Service.
I'm a bit behind the hardware curve myself, but fortunately my computer is almost twice as fast as Jan D.'s

Cloud sales up almost 30% annually shows research
Public IaaS/PaaS services had the highest growth at 51 percent, followed by private and hybrid cloud infrastructure services
New data from Synergy Research Group shows that across six key cloud services and infrastructure market segments, operator and vendor revenues for the four quarters ending September reached $110 billion, representing 28 percent annual growth.
Public IaaS/PaaS services had the highest growth rate at 51 percent, followed by private and hybrid cloud infrastructure services at 45 percent, but all of the segments grew by at least 16 percent.
Spend on infrastructure hardware and software still out-paces spend on cloud services, but the gap is "narrowing rapidly", said Synergy. Companies that feature the most prominently among the market segment leaders are Cisco, HPE, Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, IBM and Salesforce.
Over the period Q4 2014 to Q3 2015 total spend on infrastructure hardware and software to build cloud services exceeded $60 billion, with spend on private clouds accounting for over half of the total, but spend on public cloud growing much more rapidly.
Investments in infrastructure by cloud service providers helped them to generate $20 billion in revenues from cloud infrastructure services (IaaS, PaaS, private and hybrid services) and a further $27 billion from SaaS, in addition to supporting internet services such as search, social networking, email and e-commerce.
UCaaS (unified communications as a service), while in many ways a different type of market, is also growing steadily and driving some "radical changes" in business communications, Synergy added.
"In many ways, 2015 was the year when cloud became mainstream. Across a wide range of cloud applications and services we have seen that usage has now passed well beyond the early adopter phase, and barriers to adoption continue to diminish," said Synergy Research Group chief analyst Jeremy Duke.

Is power being used to make change? Is it shared? And what about in the home? Who has the power in your house? Do you share it equally with your partner? What does 'power' even mean? And how do we get to a balanced model of power—shared equitably at both work and home? Is that even possible? In this issue of C-News we'll delve into the facets of power, how to get it, how to use it, and how to make sure there are opportunities to share it. Balance Out Power With Catalyst's Vital Signs One way to ensure power is accessible to all is to cultivate a diverse workforce and create equitable opportunities for advancement. It's access to opportunities for leadership and power that count.

WorldNetDaily Exclusive
Obama economic adviser was socialist party member?
North American Union supporter under consideration for top Labor post
Former Rep. David Bonior
The man recently appointed to President-elect Barack Obama's economic transition team was a bona fide member of a major U.S. socialist organization, according to literature from the group.
Former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., reportedly being considered for the Labor secretary position in the incoming Obama administration, has had a longstanding close relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization dedicated to transforming America into a socialist society.
Now WND has learned the DSA's official newsletter in 2007 identified Bonior as a DSA member at the organization's Boston branch. Neither the DSA in Boston nor Bonior returned repeated WND calls seeking comment. Obama's transition team did not return a phone call or e-mail inquiry.
Earlier this month, the Detroit chapter of the DSA honored Bonior and his wife, Judy, at its annual dinner. Bonior has been honored at several DSA functions the past six years, including in 2003, when he was the keynote speaker at the U.S. socialist organization's national convention in Detroit.
At the 2003 convention, Bonior laid out his plan for a North American Parliamentary Union, according to a DSA transcript of the event.
Bonior was a longtime critic of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, a trilateral trade bloc created by the U.S., Canadian and Mexican governments. But he argued that as long as NAFTA was in effect, a joint parliament should be formed to oversee the agreement.
Former Rep. David Bonior, left, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., in Baghdad in 2002
"How do we democratize this globalization argument (NAFTA)?" Bonior stated at the DSA convention. "One of the ideas we came up with was forming a North American Parliamentary Union. A North America Parliament, with Mexico, Canada and the United States, with people – probably first appointed, but eventually elected like they are in the European Parliament – so we can begin to raise these issues of human rights, civil rights and labor rights and immigration, which never get talked about here.
"The proposed North American Parliamentary Union would be a democratic structure to enfranchise all citizens – farmers, laborers, small business, environmentalists, consumer advocates and others – in the NAFTA countries, as well as, hopefully, Central America," he said.
Bonior added: "I think the chances of this happening in the short run are not very good, but in the long run … we have a chance of forming a North American parliament, and with that, I think, the dialogue on these issues that we all struggle with and are frustrated with will have a place in which they can surface, and hopefully we can move forward."
Bonior has other ties to the DSA. The socialist group reportedly campaigned for him in 2002 after he left Congress and ran unsuccessfully for governor of Michigan.
The New Zeal blog discovered a 2002 DSA newsletter that reports the organization's work "focused on Rep. David Bonior's gubernatorial campaign."
"The local endorsed Rep. Bonior almost 18 months ago. DSA helped with the early fundraising for his campaign, collecting signatures for his nominating petitions, distributing literature at Detroit churches, and walking door to door in Macomb County on his behalf on the weekend before the primary," stated the DSA newsletter.
In 2006, the socialist group formed a political action committee to which only DSA members in good standing are allowed to contribute, according to FEC guidelines. The DSA states the committee, which seeks to support federal political candidates supported by the socialist group, is careful about who contributes to the fund.
"Because the law is so specific, all contributions are carefully screened to make sure that they are from (DSA) members," states a 2006 DSA newsletter.
New Zeal found that on June 19, 2006, Bonior contributed $1,000 to the DSA's committee.
Obama appointee 'Saddam Hussein Baghdad boy'
First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976, Bonior served from 1991 to 2002 as Democratic whip, the second-ranking party position in the House. He was known as a supporter of labor unions, later chairing the board of the pro-union American Rights at Work, whose board members include the American Union Movement AFL-CIO's president, John Sweeney, a DSA member.
Bonior was a champion of the Employee Free Choice Act. The measure seeks to make the creation of unions more lenient than current requirements, such as lowering the percentage of employees that must join. It would require an employer to begin bargaining with a new union 10 days after the union is certified as the exclusive bargaining representative. If the union and employer cannot agree upon the terms of a bargaining contract within 90 days, either party can request federal mediation, which could lead to binding arbitration.
The former congressman previously was the center of controversy when in September 2002 he visited Iraq – at the behest of Saddam Hussein, according to some reports. Bonior traveled to Iraq along with fellow congressmen Jim McDermott and Mike Thompson.
Prior to the trip, the three politicians issued a joint press release, posted on their respective congressional websites, explaining their visit was aimed at "gaining insight into the humanitarian challenges another war on Iraq would have on innocent Iraqis and the dangerous implications of a unilateral, preemptive strike on U.S. national security."
After the trio's trip generated criticism, with one magazine, the Weekly Standard, coining them the "Baghdad Democrats" and "Baghdad boys," Bonior claimed to the U.S. media the visit was about ensuring freedom of access to Hussein's suspected weapons facilities.
"We wanted to impress upon the Iraqi government and the people of Iraq how important it was for them to allow unconditional, unfettered, unrestricted access to the inspectors," Bonior said.
But Bonior and the other congressmen didn't seem bothered when, during their trip, the Iraqi state-run media painted their visit as a show of support for Hussein's regime.
The Iraq Daily, published by Hussein's Ministry of Information, reportedly printed daily updates of the trip, including in English. One Sept. 30 report stated, "the members of the U.S. Congress delegation have underlined that this visit aims to get acquainted with the truth of Iraq's people sufferings due to ongoing embargo which caused shortage in food and medicine for all Iraqi people."
The report was carried alongside another article boasting of Hussein's support for Palestinian terror organizations.
The Weekly Standard highlighted how, upon touching down in Iraq on Sept. 27, Iraqi Satellite Channel Television reported the congressional visitors would be brought to Iraqi hospitals "to see the suffering caused by the unjust embargo and the shortage of medicines and medical supplies. Congressman Jim McDermott told reporters upon arrival at Saddam International Airport that the delegation members reject the policy of aggression dominating the U.S. administration."
In 2002, WND reported former FBI officials charged that Bonior, while in Congress, had hampered efforts to investigate terrorist suspects in Detroit.

The Bibliomaniachttps://thebibliomaniacbookblog.com
Gee from UK: "This blog was originally called 'Books and Writers JNR', as it started out as a YA reviews version of 'Books and Writers', my dad's old blog. The name was changed to 'The Bibliomaniac' in February 2014, and I finally switched to this current domain name at the end of 2015."
¿Desde cuándo tienes este blog?
I started my book blog in 2011, and I wasn't on social media such as Twitter then (given that I was eleven!), but from around 2013/14 onwards I started to blog regularly and with a more committed attitude, sharing my posts online. You'll find book reviews, graphics, discussions and more. Enjoy!
¿Por qué escribes sobre libros?
At the time, my dad was reviewing (older, crime) fiction for publishers, and occasionally he would be sent a YA title which he would let me review myself. I loved the idea of finding people online to share my love for reading with, and over the years I've loved keeping this blog up to maintain my bookish hobby throughout school, and also improve my writing by making regular posts.
¿Qué pregunta te gustaría plantearle a un autor durante una entrevista?
It would probably vary based on the author, but most of the time I'm very interested in knowing how their writing process works. I love to see how writers approach their work differently - planning, not planning, researching, creating worlds - as I really enjoy finding out how people create things.
¿Nos puedes dar el título de tres libros que Sean importantes para ti?
Whenever I get asked about my favourite books, I can't work out how to decide! I'll pick three of my favourite reads of 2016:"You Know Me Well" (David Levithan and Nina LaCour)
"Unboxed" (Non Pratt)
"As I Descended" (Robin Talley)
¿Qué libros de Cornelia has reseñado?
I read the Inkheart books before I started blogging, but I was gifted a copy of "Ghost Knight" years ago and reviewed it when I was 13!

Andrew from the UK: "The blog's aim is to be like a friend you meet up in a coffee morning, but the blog does several things: Book Review (formally known as GoodRead) - Basically book reviews. Whether that be book, audiobook or ebook.Books And Their Theme Songs - Books and Their Theme Songs is a a catch-up of all the music used in GoodReads reviews. This happens once every other month. I hope you enjoy this blog - a blog that, I hope, doesn't take itself too seriously. Imagine this as a friend who wants to makes you smile, laugh and get excited over books - good or bad..."
¿Desde cuándo tienes este blog?
Since July 2009
¿Por qué escribes sobre libros?
I started it by sheer fluke. I didn't realise till much later that I was writing a book blog. I did it to pass the time. When I started, I had become unemployed, was finding it very difficult to find a job and it was getting me down. To break the day up, I would read. Try and catch up on my neverending To Be Read (TBR) pile and, because I was chatting to other readers online, I just wrote my thoughts on my blog and didn't think anything of it… till publishers and authors started chatting to me.
So, my main reason for starting a book blog was to keep me upbeat while job hunting.
¿Qué pregunta te gustaría plantearle a un autor durante una entrevista?
Ah, a tricky question to ask. Every author is different so each author would be ask different questions. Do you write to music? What was writing this story like? Why did you write this story? Why do you write?
But I always like asking what inspired them to write this story/series/etc? I can imagine each answer being so very different - it could be one small thing or several big things and the author just mixed them together like cake batter. So, I would ask what inspired this story?
¿Nos puedes dar el título de tres libros que Sean importantes para ti?
Oh heck! The hardest question to ask a reader, let alone a book blogger. I have been thinking of this and I think I have narrowed it down to these three.
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by JK RowlingUntil very recently, I would have said Prisoner of Azkaban was my fave Harry Potter book, but I reread the series and I remembered how much I adore Goblet. I love the darkness, the foreboding, the unpredictably of the story and the characters, the shocking ending. And that first chapter… I love that first chapter!
"Sabriel" by Garth NixI discovered this while waiting for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And I devoured this so fast that, whenever I feel low or in a reading slump, this is always the book I turn to. Strong female leads, snarky talking cat, Charter Magic and Free Magic, Dead things (that aren't zombies). This book is one of the only few books to my memory that had me fearing Sabriel's death a few chapters in. I remember going 'We have 300-odd pages left. She must live! SHE HAS TO LIVE!' and terrified that Garth Nix will pull the rug from under me.
"The Rest of Us Just Live Here" by Patrick NessThis third and final choice is the hardest to pick. I could have gone with so many books - "Bones to Ashes", "Mirror Dreams", "His Dark Materials", "Maggot Moon", "We Were Liars", "The Snow Child" to name a few - but this book was the last book I read in quite a while that consumed me. I read it within 3 days and I couldn't put it down. I was shocked over how much I missed this book when I finished and, for a good time afterwards, this would be the book I would recommend if anyone wanted new to read…
Anna from Estonia: "I am probably the first Russian-speaking children's book blogger who tries to do that - to write easy to understand and at the same time professional texts. I have big plans and dreams, I want to grow as a reader and blogger. Of course I want to write stories one day, too."
¿Desde cuándo tienes este blog?
Summer 2016
¿Por qué escribes sobre libros?
I started a book blog because I was always interested in books since my childhood and read a lot. Last year I graduated from university with Bachelor degree in Slavic philology, my area was Russian literature. I always preferred books for children and young adults. So I kept reading them from time to time even when I wasn't a child anymore. Now I read only books for children for some time and it helps me with my depression. I like to write about them very much as well. So one day I just sat down and started a blog. I try to turn my reader's emotions into something professional. I make laconic, clear and I hope beautiful texts too, trying to escape philological snobbism though.
¿Qué pregunta te gustaría plantearle a un autor durante una entrevista?
It's very hard to pick one question I would ask any author. If this author was Cornelia, I definitely would ask why her Inkworld and Mirrorworld are so attractive, beautiful, desired - and horrible at the same time? Am I right when I think it's done on purpose? When you read her books you live in them and can't leave even after the book is finished. Her worlds are so real. Seems like it's not very hard to get there. But instead of doing that you think "well, but can I stand this pain and hopelessness*? They are like gambling games and it's very interesting. It is common of course when book worlds are dangerous to live in, but they are not like that.
¿Nos puedes dar el título de tres libros que Sean importantes para ti?
Three of my favorite books are:
"Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling
"The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt
"Doctor Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak

"A lor Star " Chinese Wedding! SDE 19.3.2011 Videography by Leonard Hon
Kuen Han & Jia Jie wedding Highlight SDE 19.3.2011. Alor Setar Malaysia.
Chinese marriage:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_marriage
Traditional marriage rituals
A modern wedding held in a Ming Dynasty format. Chinese marriage became a custom between 402 and 221 B.C. Despite China's long history and many different geographical areas, there are basically six rituals, generally known as the three letters and six etiquette (三書六禮).
Arranging the wedding: Before wedding ceremony, two families would arrange a wedding day according to Chinese Tung shing, make sure the day is good for wedding in order to assure their good future would not be affected by choosing a bad day of wedding. In some cases there may be no auspicious dates and the couple will have to review their chose date range.
Wedding Ceremony: The final ritual is the actual wedding ceremony where bride and groom become a married couple, which consists of many elaborate parts:
Wedding Procession: The wedding procession from the bride's home to the groom's home. The procession consists of a traditional band, the bride's sedan, the maids of honor's sedans (if there are maids of honor), and bride's dowry in the forms other than money.
Welcoming the Bride: The wedding procession of the bride's family stops at the door of the groom's home. There are ceremonies to be followed to welcome the bride and her wedding procession into the groom's home, which varies from locale to locale.
Actual Wedding Ceremonies: Equivalent to exchanging vows in the west, the couple would pay respect to the Jade Emperor, the family deities (or buddhas and bodhisattvas), paying respect to deceased ancestors, the bride and groom's parents and other elders, and paying respect to each other.
Wedding banquet In Chinese society, the wedding banquet is known as xǐ-jǐu (喜酒, literally joyful wine), and is sometimes far more important than the actual wedding itself. There are ceremonies such as bride presenting wines or tea to parents, spouse, and guests.
Before modern times, women were not allowed to choose the person they married. Instead, the family of the bride picked the prospective husband. Marriages were chosen based upon the needs of reproduction and honor, as well as the need of the father and husband.

Enutra LLC insists that this product is 100% natural; clinically approved; and physician endorsed. It claims that it boosts erections; spurs sexual appetite; and enhances performance.
It further declares that it will instill confidence; amplify endurance; and increase stamina. This is an evaluation to discover the facts surrounding these assertions.
Supplementation with beet root has been explored closely and shown to amplify nitrate levels within the body. Nitrates foster cardiovascular health; promote circulation; and heighten exercise tolerance. Chemicals in beet root are also proven to diminish insulin resistance and lessen inflammation.
Goat's Head Weed, also known as Tribulus Terrestris, is a powerful testosterone booster found in numerous male enhancing products. It amplifies the libido; intensifies sperm motility; and reduces erectile dysfunction.
Lepidium meyenii is an ancient plant from Peru referred to as maca root that was applied to medicine by cultures indigenous to the area to strengthen the physical performance of warriors. It has been medically proven to amplify energy levels; intensify sexual desire; and magnify stamina. This root was also shown to elevate endurance; incite muscle growth; and boost strength.
Muira Pauma is another common components of male enhancement supplements. Ancient peoples of South America used it to promote circulation and protect heart health. They also gave it to individuals who were suffering from impotence.
L-Citrulline was scientifically proven to amplify the levels of L-Arginine. This action intensified energy and diminished the time needed between sexual sessions. This amino acid acted to assist in improving sexual dysfunction by multiple pathways.
Grape seed is a popularly seen additive in health supplements and is usually labeled as vitis vinifera. One common reasons for this is for its potent anti-free radical properties. It was also discovered to enhance nitric oxide levels thereby promoting penile circulation. This can intensify the firmness and frequency of erections.
The label tells users to consume two tablets 30 minutes before sexual activity or on an empty stomach every day. More than six should not be taken in a single day.
A reimbursement policy is provided by the distributor.
Scientific tests have been completed on the individual ingredients in this product.
The company says that physicians have endorsed it.
This formula has positive consumer reviews.
There is no information about the refund policy making it suspect.
No clinical tests have been completed on the post market formula.
No credentials for the approving physician are provided.
Outside the company website there is a great lack of user reviews.
Positive customer posts are only published on the distributor's website.
A 30-day supply of this formula can be obtained from Amazon or the manufacturer's website for about $40. The 90-day supply is around $80 and the 150-day supply costs approximately $120.
Most off-site consumer posts are extremely derogatory and there are no details for the refund policy making this a poor choice.

Another Break that can make you rich - Options
In a previous blog we discussed that many corporate employees have the opportunity to participate in a company savings plan. This is one of the opportunities that constitute a 'break' that can not only make you financially secure, it can make you rich. Another break that is even more powerful is employee stock options.
When discussing the company savings plan, we mentioned that many of these plans encourage that you invest your savings in the company's publicly traded shares. If you do your stock market research you know which companies are the best stock market performers in your line of work. So aim to work for them, this is not only good for your career but it also gives you the opportunity to participate in its company savings plan were you buy its stock in the favoured 'cost averaging way'. Every month you buy a little bit of stock for a fixed amount of money. Thus, you buy more when the share price is relatively low and you buy fewer shares when they are expensive. This is the next best thing to buying a stock at the 'right price' – the way we advocate so often on this blog.
Since you not only buy shares using the cost averaging method, but you buy stock of a company that is the best in your field of work. Your shares will outperform over the long term the competition. There is one added advantage that may sound strange coming on a blog that wants you to diversify your portfolio. You know that Bill Gates and many others did NOT get rich by diversifying. Rather they put all their eggs in one basket – in Bill's case the eggs were all in the Microsoft basket. The difference between 'day-to-day' investing and Bill's investment is that he knew Microsoft better than any other company. This is quite different than investing in some publicly traded company where as shareholder you probably know nothing more than what's published in the annual report and what senior management tells you on BNN. When you work with your employer, you know a lot more about your company and your management than the typical retail investor. You yourself may even have a significant impact on corporate performance. In fact, many would consider you an 'insider' and you have restrictions when selling your savings plan's stock. Your company will announce 'black-out' periods when you are not allowed to sell your shares. Typically just around the time that your employer will publish its quarterly financial report or when a take-over announcement is coming.
Just like Bill, you have much more control/knowledge over your employer's company performance than a typical investor and thus you run less risk losing money than such a typical investor. For you it is O.K. to invest a higher proportion of your net worth in your employer's company stock – maybe as much as 30%. 'How much' depends also on your personal situation. If you are just out of school working for such a company, your entire portfolio may be comprised of your savings plan. Don't worry – first of all there is nothing you can do to alter this and because you're young it is sometimes O.K. to take on a lot of this kind of risk (note the careful wording?). But as soon as your savings plan's worth becomes substantial (say the size of a 20-30% down payment towards the purchase of your first residence), it will be time to start taking some of the profits and accumulate cash. Once you build up enough cash for a down payment or another investment then make that investment and then you are more diversified. Note, I did not say, sell all your stock, just a significant portion – say 50% - after all your company shares are the best investment you have up to now. So don't shoot the chicken that lays the golden eggs!
As said in an earlier post, you may get even a better break than a company savings plan. You may have the chance to borrow from your company a large number of shares interest free! Even better, if the shares lose value, you cannot lose money you only give the shares back to the company! How does that sound? Pretty sweet he? We call those loans, employee stock options! Now you see how important it is to choose your employer with care and don't just grab any job offer that comes your way! Be an action taker and pursue a job with the company you want, not the other way around!
When you have stock options don't ever loose eyes on how your company is performing – operationally, financial and… on the stock market. As you may soon realize, over the short term, there is often a disconnect between stock market performance and your company's true performance. If this disconnect gets out of hand, you may see real company insiders buying company stock or the company itself may do 'share buy backs' – this may be an opportunity to buy more shares or it may give you the confidence to holding on to your shares. When insiders are selling, this can be for many reasons, but if you feel that the stock is overpriced (and you are becoming an expert on that stock by now yourself), or if you see a lot of insider selling, that may be a signal to take some profits. NOT TO GO ON VACATION TO DISNEY LAND!!!! But to use the cash to diversify – to put it into another investment. These days, even Bill Gates does not only own Microsoft stock! Selling consumption items such as that BMW is the sure fire way to waste your Break. Instead of ending up with a nice nest egg you will end up with a pile of rust!
There are a lot of exclamation marks in the last paragraph but then this is a break that can make you ultimately rich. So it is critical that you manage it well. Too many examples of embittered employees who sold off their options for a boat on the lake and then they saw their company stock double and they literally missed the boat. They only have themselves to blame
An option is a share that the company lends you typically for five years. All the value increase of the shares from the moment they lend you the share until you sell it is yours! So say you work for the Bank of Montreal and when you start working, they give you 1000 options (i.e. they lend you 1000 shares) which trade at that time at $40.00 per share (the strike price). Two months later the shares trade at $50.00, a single option is them worth $50 minus the $40 strike price or $10.00. Wow! You got how many of those things? 1000 options! So in two months you made 1000 x $10= $10,000! That is more than your entire salary plus savings plan included! Sell, sell, sell!
Eh… not so fast. Many employers are good but they are not crazy. What would happen if you sold your options within 2 months and then you quit to go work for another company that gives its employees shares as well? So, although your own the options, you don't have the right to sell them right away. If you quit you lose your options. Talk about retention bonus. Well how can you cash in on your windfall?
Typically, you will earn the right to sell your options over time. Your options expire – i.e. you have to sell them before the expiry date; typically 5 years from when the options were given to you. You also get the right to sell a portion of your options – typically 20% of your options 'vest' every year. In other words, you earn the right to sell 20% of your 1000 options or 200 options. After five years all your options are vested. To stop you from quitting after five years, your sly employer gives you as part of the year-end bonus also some more options which expire five years later. So you will always have just enough options in your inventory to keep you from quitting! The more they like your work the more options they will give you with that year's bonus. Of course, it also depends on how the economy and the company overall is doing. But there is usually a connection/recognition with how good you're doing from the company's perspective.
What happens if the company shares don't go up? Well simple. Say your BMO option strike price is $40.00 and the shares trade at $30 per share. Then your option would put you theoretically in debt by $10 a share! That would be the risk of leverage and of your underperformance along with the rest of the company. "Oh… wait a minute, I don't feel so well! You mean I would owe $10,000 to my company for the borrowed shares? Eh… Eh…"
No, not really. You borrowed shares not money! So in the worst case you just let the options expire since nobody will buy your $30 dollar borrowed share for $40 or more. So the option is worthless and you won't exercise the option (i.e. sell the underlying share). The borrowed share is returned free of charge to your company. Pfff!
There are a lot of different strategies you can follow with options. Too many to discuss on this blog. Point is options are the road to becoming truly wealthy, maybe not as rich as Bill Gates but rich enough. Thank you Mr. Employer! However, I would like to discuss one major pitfall.
Many people prefer to work with at small corporations rather than large ones. The logic is that those small companies will grow much faster and so will the value of their options. This is not quite true as many found out the hard way. First of all, small companies are very risky – their growth is very dependent on the quality of the company and, of course, the state of the economy. But say you're lucky and the company doubles over five years in value and you hung on to all your one thousand small company options.
How much did you make as compared to working at larger company? Say, you got the options at a strike price of $1 dollar and now the shares have doubled to $2. Your profit is $2000 minus $1000 (1000 x strike price) or a whopping $1000.
What would have happened if you had worked at the large company which only grew at an incredible snail's pace of 10% over 5 years. What would those options be worth? Well, say the (strike) price of a company's share was $100. So now five years later they are worth $110 and each option is $10 worth. 1000x $10 is $10,000.
Where would you have done better? At the small or the large company? So don't fall for misconceptions, do your numbers. An opportunity such as getting employee stock options should be considered very carefully because it can be your ticket to become wealthy.

I do not believe there is a wizard to run for the time tracker field. I think the wizard runs automatically and just shows the message while adding the widget. The correct amount of time spent completing the form is indeed captured by it.

It looks like this widget only tracks the time that the user is typing, is this correct? And is their a widget for total time (viewing & typing)?
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on June 08, 2015 at 10:01 PM
Hi arazer,
As per checking, the Timer and Time Tracker widget tracks the time starting from the form was loaded. See screenshot below for Timer widget sample.

I found canisters that I like at Bed Bath and Beyond. I have bought three (with coupons of course) so far.
The problem? They are not labeled. Then use your fancy vinyl cutting thingamajig. Right?
Nope, I don't have one, and since I am trying to use what I have in order to clear space and save money- I am not about to buy one.
What's a girl to do? Put it on her do-it-later list? Wrong! Use what she has.
I came across a post about puffy paint. Remember that stuff? Nineties flashback! (I was a young, aspiring designer because of puffy paint.) At Doodle Craft they found that puffy paint can be used as window clings.
Hmmm. I think I can make this work...
Here's what you need:
- glass container
- image to trace
- tape
- Windex, paper towel
- puffy paint
2. Tape image on inside of glass.
3. Trace image with puffy paint. *if you are a lefty, write from right to left (how do you think I figured that one out?)
4. Let Dry. *I had to put jar on its side (with paint on top), because the first try ran.
5. That's it! Enjoy your vinyl-less canisters.
Note- this stuff is just like a window cling when dry. So, it may not be a permanent solution, but it works for me.To wash, either peel off, or wash very gently. (The good news is that if you mess up, it peels right off!)
One more to-do done! Do you have a favorite vinyl alternative?

My commitment this season is to give a portion of my commission for the remainder of the year to this fantastic charity. I encourage everyone to give in some way. You can track exactly where your donation goes and 100% of all money raised goes toward clean well-water projects. It is also a great way to physically plug into the global community.
