*Okay, you know it's going to be a great book when you're laughing out loud just reading the Table of Contents, don't you? Btw, do most people actually read the Table of Contents? Just curious.
*OMG--this man cracks me up. I lost count of how many times he had me laughing out loud during this first essay (May 2010). I'm not sure why--maybe I've had one too many gin and tonics (though I've only had one so far), or maybe I'm just too exhausted, or maybe I just have the mindset of a stereotypical 12-year-old boy--but the bit about the records of Henry St. John's masturbation just had me rolling. And yet with all his wit and humor, he ends up making books that I can't imagine ever reading sound incredibly interesting. But yeah, still probably not reading Austerity Britain, 1945-51. However, American Rust by Philipp Meyer is being added to the wish list thanks to this first column.
*June 2010. Despite all the acclaim Patti Smith's Just Kids has received, I've really felt no real desire to read it. Yep, you guessed it--until now.
*July/August 2010. Sometimes he makes me laugh, even when I sort of feel like I really shouldn't be. :P
And this time, two more to the wish list--The Driver's Seat and A Far Cry from Kensington both by Muriel Spark, whom I've never read.
*September 2010. Wow...he didn't make me want to buy any books with this column. Of course, that could just be because he'd downloaded Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis and I couldn't get past that shuddering thought. (The one and only book I thoroughly despised from my high school reading assignments. Would I hate it as much today? I'll probably never have the stomach to find out.)
*November/December 2010. I was so excited to see that he bought Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick this month, because it's one of the books I really want to get to this year. However, he didn't actually read this month so I didn't get to hear his thoughts. :( (But I haven't given up hope--maybe he'll read it before the end of this collection.)
As is always the case, the column itself is very entertaining...and I was happy to hear that he sort of had the same "really old classics avoidance tendency" that I do. Though you may notice, I used the past tense with Mr. Hornby and the present with myself. He's working his way past this avoidance...I can only hope that means there's still hope for me. And of course, he did get me to add another book to my wish list--not a classic, but a contemporary collections of essays called Book of Days by Emily Fox Gordon.
*January 2011. Mmmmm...well I think he convinced me that I'm correct in my reluctance to read Dickens. Of course, I'm fairly confident that steering people away from Dickens is not his intention as he is obviously a rather large fan himself. What can I say...
He did, however, get me to add The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer to the wish list. The concept of that one really intrigues (and horrifies!) me...a magic wind blows through this town and makes all the women stop wanting sex.
*February 2011. I squeeeed a little bit when I saw he bought Will Grayson Will Grayson. He didn't, however, read it this month. And he didn't convince to buy any of the books that he did read this go-round. I can definitely see why he made Ana want to read Let's Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste by Carl Wilson though. It sounds really good, but the fact of the matter is that I would likely never get around to actually reading it.
*March/April 2011. His facetious little pity party about the volcanic ash ruining his 53rd birthday amused me, and also reminded of the recent episode of The Fabulous Beekman Boys I watched where Brent scheduled a wedding at the farm on the weekend of Josh's 40th birthday. Yeah, I know, not relevant, but I just love it when one fun thing reminds me of another fun thing...because well, fun things are good.
Maybe more pertinent to the essay itself is this cool little blurb:
Several months later, and I have finally read one of the three, even though I wanted to read all three of them immediately. (What happened in between? Other books, is what happened. Other books, other moods, other obligations, other appetites, other reading journeys.)Yes, yes, yes...now that is something I suspect nearly all of us can relate to!
*May 2011. Well, he certainly made me grateful that I've never felt the urge to pick up a John Updike book before!
He read Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test, but that one was already sort of on my radar. However, he mentioned a couple other of Ronson's books, and I'm now fairly sure I'd like to give Them a go someday--as Hornby put it, it's about "extremists of all hues."
*June 2011. There was more laughter...brought on by a tidbit that I couldn't help but share with Rich. And when that happened this time, it clicked with me that that is a mark of a book I didn't waste my time reading--if there is something so amusing or so interesting or so infuriating, etc. that it makes me interrupt my darling husband's own reading to share it, well, then it was almost certainly a book worth spending my time with.
*July/August 2011. Yay! He read Nothing to Envy...and of course, I now want to read it even more.
*September 2011 and October 2011 and November/December 2011. There's honestly nothing I feel I must say about these. You're welcome.
*Oh my. It's just so sad to be finishing this collection. The enjoyment his essays bring me is immense. I think that this particular collection had me adding less books to my wish list than any of his previous books, but that in no way says anything about my enjoyment level. It is simply fun, fun, fun to read his thoughts on any book, whether or not said book interests me enough to read myself.
I'm counting this for the Long-Awaited Reads (All Because of Ana) Month. Now, on the surface, this may sound a bit like cheating, but hear me out. First of all, I've been waiting a loooooong time to read this collection. Ever since I finished the last, in fact. Before I even knew there was a possibility that there would be a new collection because Hornby stopped writing the column for a time. Just because it didn't technically exist didn't mean I wasn't desperately waiting for it anyway. And secondly, it is because of Ana that I first started reading these collections in the first place. Okay, so I think I have justified its inclusion, yes?

text: On Saturday, Violet, Quad, and Mollie headed down to get stroppy with Tesco about their plans to turn our former venue, the ex-Mill Road Social Centre, into an objectionable supermarket. Tesco still don't have the requisite planning permission to trade on or deliver to the site, but they claim they're opening the store anyway. So now they're getting sued for making a mockery of the planning process and endangering public safety in Romsey. Go Romsey! We thought we might meet some angry women at the protest, so we headed on over with flyers. No such luck, but we did see this angry dog: obviously so annoyed at Tesco that he glued a sign to his own fur. And later at the museum, we saw a woman who had a leopard crawling out of her ass. We resisted the urge to mug her for her trousers, but we did give her a flyer.

The Merchant's Daughter by Melanie Dickerson
I started reading this and I knew right away it wasn't the book for me. So I upload my kindle onto my Mom's tablet. If she ever gets around to reading it her opinion would be better suited.
I have many issues with this book beginning with this
"began in the usual way, making the point that women were evil, enticing men to sin with their wily feminine ways. It was the same way he began all of his sermons.
Annabel kept her eyes on the floor so no one would see the anger and contempt that coursed through her and probably showed in her eyes. Was this how the Bible read? Surely not. Surely it did not revile and condemn in such a manner. She wanted to know. She had to know.
He went on, as always to denounce unmarried men - forgetting that he was one himself?- speaking of their passions and lust, of how they only sought to satisfy their flesh."
It's no wonder with sermons like this that the man in this book felt priviledged to have his way with her. And that she took the entire blame for it.
"But what choice did she have? If she didn't become the lord's servant, Tim would still remain a problem. Even if she told her brothers that she was afraid of Bailiff Tom, even if she told them exactly why, it wouldn't be enough for them.She imagined Edward, his face twisted in that intense way of his when he was agitated. She knew what he would say: "And what did the bailiff do to you?" If she told him the whole story, how the bailiff had grabbed her, what he intended to do to her, her brother would shrug and say, "Well, I did tell him he could marry you."
Not once does the author empower Annabel or let her think on her own. No she just wants to run to a nunnery or fall into the hands of another man. This book frustrated me so much!I would be very curious what Belle Vierge would have to say about this book. She would word it allot better than I.

Biographical Note
For over sixty years, Zachary Taylor Vinson (1933-2009) amassed a large and comprehensive collection of printed material documenting on the history transportation, particularly automobiles.
Born and raised in West Virginia, Vinson was a 1955 graduate of Princeton University. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany, then moved to New York City to work in advertising until he graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1961. Vinson practiced law with O'Melveney & Meyers in Los Angeles, California and the International Finance Corporation in Washington, D.C. until 1967 when he began working as a senior lawyer with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a position he held until his retirement in 2003. Vinson played a significant role in the drafting of federal safety regulations governing tires and those requiring high-mounted brake lights in the rear window of automobiles, which began with the 1986 model year.
At the age of four, Vinson was introduced to automobile literature when he was given a 1938 Ford trade catalog. Vinson began attending automobile shows to actively collect by the time he turned seven. He would ask that his parents drive him to Huntington's "Automobile Row," where Vinson would collect literature from the dealerships located there. By the age of fourteen, Vinson was writing to the British, French, Italian, and Czech embassies in Washington, D.C. to request the addresses of automakers in those countries from whom he could obtain literature.
As he grew older, Vinson collected trade literature from additional sources, including, but not limited to, automobile manufacturers, fellow collectors, memorabilia dealers, auto shows, and auctions. He eventually amassed so much material that he built an addition to his Virginia home to store it all, which he referred to as his "Autotorium."
In addition to collecting, Vinson was an active member of automobile organizations. He was president of the Society of Automotive Historians from 1993 to 1995 and served as the editor of Automotive History Review from 1995 to 2009. Z. Taylor Vinson passed away at the age of 76 on October 25, 2009.

To be perfectly honest, I don't remember many specifics about the three days I just spent at a lake in northern Wisconsin. In my memory, each day merges into the others, mornings into afternoons, nights into the dawn.
This was something I considered as I sat on the lawn looking at the lake. I tried not to let it scare me that the happiness and the peacefulness I was feeling would soon be only a memory, if I was lucky. I've spent much of my life trying to "write it all down," afraid that when I'm old I'll look back and see very little of my life. It's walking a tightrope trying to live in the moment while finding meaning and purpose in life. I think that there are few questions that a guy my age can answer, but I've been lucky to have some time to ask them.
Anyway, here's a few of the best, fleeting memories. I can't promise it's all true, but I know it's all truth.
The short pre-solstice night surprises me with dawn on Friday after spending the dark hours playing cards. We go outside. With light in the sky, Fisherman starts casting off the dock. A few of us play sunrise bocce, working our way around the cabin. Shortly after we finish the game and walk down to the dock, Fisherman gets one on his line. It's a walleye! Eating size. You don't expect to catch walleye off a dock. There is a scramble to rig up another couple rods. Fisherman gets another identical walleye.
Three of us are now crowded onto the dock. Canoeman brings the 16 foot Old Town down from the garage and puts it in the water. He is getting it ready to go out for a paddle when there is a big splash. We look and start laughing and laughing. He is standing in the water next to the canoe. What makes it funny is that he was telling me earlier how he'd already fallen out of canoes three times that week. Canoeman puts his clothes on his car to dry and leaps back into the canoe and paddles out thirty feet from shore in the cold dawn. He then initiates a battle with the boat, paddling it extremely fast until dumping it, over and over. Righting, paddling, dumping. He tries to climb on top of it while it is upside down, he tries riding on the stern and paddling. He tries things I can't describe. It's a big splashing mess of canoe, water, human. We fish. At 7 a.m., the world now fully light, I sleep.
Saturday afternoon, after some human drama but also lots of onboard relaxation, we stop back at the cabin once more to reload on beer and prepare for a final attempt at the walleyes. The man of the hour asks to join us just to drive the boat. This weekend focused on burning him down so he can rise from the ashes as a married man. I make a last dash up to the cabin as they untie from the dock and I grab a loaf of French bread, a block of white cheddar, and a Two-Hearted Ale.
We motor across the channel to a spot where we've watched a number of fishing boats spending time over the past couple days and start working our way up and down the point. I have on a deep-diving chartruesse and pink Rapala that I cast into shore, boating nothing but weeds. The sun is at a low angle, but there are still hours of light left on this last night of the weekend. Boats buzz on far corners of the lake, and occasionally one passes through the channel, but all is relatively quiet. We use the stealthy trolling motor and most of the conversation at first is triggered by seeing fish on the fishfinder, then about how good life can be.
I reel in and start cutting chunks of the crumbly cheese off the block, then ripping pieces of the bread off the loaf, sandwiching the cheese in the hunks of bread and passing them to the fishermen, all of them good, good friends. We fish some more but come to terms with the fact that we probably can't catch those fish and even Fisherman is okay with heading back to the dock after a couple of glorious, fishless, hours.
The nearly Zen rhythms of a whole afternoon playing bocce ball. Toss the little ball, toss the big balls: intensity, cheering, whooping, jokes, surprises. Walk the 10 paces or so, stare intently at the ground, declare a winner. Toss the little ball. The meals that are the efforts of Fisherman and three or four assistants of varying skill and sobriety. They come together with coals lit, pans sizzling, meat marinated, vegetables chopped. Eat scattered indoors and out, coming together afterward for a smoke and a setting sun. The big jump built at the end of the dock, young men reliving old recklessness to ride a bike off it.
"I got out my sleeping bag and spread it out and took off my shoes and… I was sighing happily and slipping my stockinged feet into my sleeping bag and looking around gladly at the beautiful tall trees thinking 'Ah what a night of true sweet sleep this will be, what meditations I can get into in this intense silence of Nowhere!'" – Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
Two nights sleeping outside. Friday night, not wanting to leave the fire by the lake and the faces around it, but not able to keep my eyes open any longer, I go up to the house and grab my sleeping pad, bag and pillow and set it down behind the ring of people in chairs and drift off.
The last night of the trip, not so tired but ready to sleep at 2 a.m., I find an out-of-the-way corner of the yard where I won't be bothered when a couple of the guys come home from the strip club in a few hours. I'm feeling melancholy, peaceful but distantly sensing going back to work, to the commute, to obligations and the such. Lay flat on my back, sleeping bag zipped up against the night air, glasses and notebook in my hat, wrapped in my flannel shirt, on the ground next to my head.
The full moon has just recently set in the northwestern sky and the stars are pretty good. Not like the crystal of a Boundary Waters sky at night, and not like the dull orange sky of the city. I stare at the faint stripe of the Milky Way. After a while I notice a satellite streaking through the stars. I watch it move quickly across half the sky and then it is gone. As it disappears, I see a shooting star in the lower part of the sky. I only see it in my peripheral vision, but it's a beautiful flash of infinity. As I'm starting to fall asleep, I see my lucky third night light: a firefly. A week or three early, especially after the cool spring, there he is blinking between the yard and the woods. It's a lonely world for this firefly tonight, and he soon goes dark. And so does my world.

Fiberglass garage doors are not as normal as wooden, steel, or aluminum ones. These doors comprise of aluminum outlines blended with fiberglass boards. Some incline toward this material over traditional choices, since fiberglass is lighter and generally less expensive, yet not the best decision. The qualities of Mesa AZ Garage Door Repair garage doors contrast generously from the ones showed by this material in itself.
- While fiberglass is marked safe, garage doors made of this material are not and are in this way, inclined to the smallest imprints from your car.
- Fiberglass doors give poor insulation, particularly amid winter, which isn't the situation when contrasted with fiberglass insulation that is thought to be exceedingly proficient.
- These doors start to turn yellowish dark colored with age.
- They twist and break effectively amid both chilly and hot atmosphere, which makes garage doors made of this material to a great degree less solid when contrasted with those made of steel.
- These doors can't withstand solid breezes and are not appropriate in beachfront zones with high recurrence winds. These regions don't give the required construction standard endorsement for fiberglass doors since they fall much underneath the normal gauges of development material.
In any case, as of late, more up to date and better quality fiberglass doors have started to show up in the market, which brags of the accompanying enhancements.
Points of interest
- These doors are made to imitate the look and surface of the wood, and would now be able to be found in examples of various kinds of wood, for example, oak, mahogany, and cherry wood.
- The new models have a steel structure under the fiberglass boards that give the garage doors more protection from the wear and tear.
- The warmth exchange resistivity has been enhanced by the R-esteem unique froth centers that are secured with air pockets. These air pockets decrease the warmth transmission that is permitted to go through it.
- This material works perfectly in tropical zones where they productively oppose the consumption caused by salt soaked air that streams from the seashores.
Painting Fiberglass Garage Doors
Repairing, repainting, and reglazing fiberglass is a costly and tedious methodology. Fiberglass doors begin looking timeworn following eighteen months. Most paint shops and additionally professionals prescribe that for painting fiberglass, a great brand of preliminary and latex paint must be utilized. Preliminary brands, for example, all-inclusive latex groundwork and XIM groundwork are magnificent for this reason. To the extent the brand of latex paint is concerned, Mooreguard is thought to be the best in view of its direct flexibility. You should first clean the garage door with cleanser water and wipe it dry.
Select a non-blustery and less sticky day for painting your door, in order to prevent tidy from settling on the wet paint and prevent the top warmth from altering the consistency of the paint. Apply a layer of introduction to the garage door and once it has dried, apply the latex paint coats.
The time of guarantee offered for fiberglass garage doors is around 1-2 years. Then again, steel garage doors can last up to 18-20 years once in a while and have demonstrated to give better insulation.

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I found out some info about myself that I really wasn't ready for. I won't go into great detail here (I will once an official diagnosis is made), but it may result in my having to abandon my vegan diet.
The bottom line is that I have one (possibly two) conditions, and the prognosis really depends heavily on the food I'm putting in my body. It has nothing to do with vitamin B12 or any of that nonsense. But it does have to do with the kind of food I can and can't eat.
For starters, I may need to go gluten- and soy-free. Which would be a major change in my eating habits.
For now, I'm going to focus on eating Pacific Northwest fruits and vegetables, less wheat and more nuts and seeds.
My salad tonight has most of those things in it and it's super delicious! It combines savory and sweet flavors with crunchy and soft textures perfectly.
Large handful of spring mix salad greens
Small handful of Italian kale
1/2 golden delicious apple
1/2 cucumber
2 satsumas
Green onion (white parts)
1/2 avocado
juice from 1/2 small lime
Chop everything into bite-sized pieces, but tear the kale, and put into a medium bowl.
Then scoop avocado into a small bowl and add lime juice. Squish the avocado so that this creates a paste. Add to salad and stir well.

May 17, 2017. It's official, weather-wise this has been a really cruddy year, whether or not you happen to be a gardener. Last night I listened to our weather forecaster, again trying to be bright, but acknowledging she has not been able to assure us of a stretch of fine weather since the beginning of October 2016. And here for seven months I've been trying to maintain my best Pollyanna attitude, telling myself it just isn't possible sun could be such a rare commodity on the Sunshine Coast!
Not far from us, gardeners in the Okanagan area are in poor shape too. The huge Okanagan Lake is rising to unprecedented levels, and people have been driven out of their homes by floods. The ground is saturated to the point it just cannot hold any more water. The heavy ice cap on the mountains is thawing fast, and adding that water to the already overtaxed liquid situation. Trying to make the best of a very bad business, I'm at least grateful that our soil in this particular area is very well drained.
So far the lonely veggie successes are some beautiful red butter lettuce, and two varieties of peas. They're all growing well.
Oh, and the gorgeous little perennial flowers are out in abundance! This is the annual perfect bouquet that greets me from the rock wall outside. I don't water it, don't fertilise it, just made sure it was in a well'drained situation. It seems to thrive straight out of the gravel. And in the winter, no matter how low the temps go, it doesn't even lose its leaves. It is Lewisia. Doesn't this give anyone a reason to garden?
I'm gleefully counting the tiny mandarin oranges on the beautiful tree Dearly Beloved found for me on Mother's Day! It will add to my citrus collection of a lemon and a lime tree. In Canada?, you say. Yes, had the other two for years, and they produce all year.
May 18, 2017.
A small rain crisis, and that's kept us busy today. Seems the repeated downpours caused all kinds of crud from the roof tiles to lodge in the rain gutter filters, plus then build up in the gutters. The result was sheets of water pouring against the house from all sides. Not my favorite thing, but we are so incredibly lucky to to have adorable neighbors on all sides here, and immediately the weather cleared B. came over and spent several hours making everything spic and span again. Amazing, and it makes you feel so incredibly grateful.
The tomato plants now have a distinct blue tint, from their stint out in the garden in the cold. But there may be a ray of hope. Now the forecast is looking much more hopeful, for the next few days.
It's also Friday, and I'm wishing you all a great weekend!

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, the W Hotel in Santiago is the place to stay. W Hotels are known around the world for their fresh design, trendy atmosphere and even in Chile you are able to frequent their popular Whisky Blue bar. The location is super convenient, right in the heart of the business center (making it the perfect business hotel) but also 3 blocks from 2 different subway lines making public transportation easily accessible.
There are of course several outstanding restaurants including Santiago's famous Osaka which has been rated best restaurant in Chile by multiple publications (unfortunately didn't get to try it on this trip- it's closed on Sundays!). Besides Osaka, the patio restaurant is quite nice serving a variety of delicious ceviches and other traditional Chilean treats, the buffet breakfast was very impressive but it was the wine and other amenities that caught my attention. Check out this wine wall (above), there were 2 of them!! Next to the lounge is a beautiful white with dark wood wine tasting room (looks very fancy). Taste a few wines before you head out to dinner, it was more fun then just grabbing a drink at the bar in the lounge. The pool (above) and sun deck area located on the top floor of the hotel is fabulous! The view is incredible (see first post) and the service was superb. Of course I checked out the gym and was beyond impressed! It is actually a gym that people can pay to belong to so it was enormous; it had different weight areas, machines, rooms for classes and of course a full beautiful spa. If you are thinking about visiting Santiago, check into the W for an amazing trip.
W Hotel, Isidora Goyenechea 3000, Los Condes 7550653, Santiago, Chile

The next thing on my list for wedding planning is florists. (Then bridal party yay!) I've started to speak with and meet with the florists that the NYBG works with as well as build my Pinterest board for inspiration. Before diving in, I really thought I lacked a clear idea of what I wanted. I was wary of setting appointments before having some idea of my style in case I was too heavily influenced by someone else's idea of what our day would look like.
However, to my surprise, as I pinned I found that I do have a clear vision: whites and greens, pops of blush, peaches, maybe a touch of burgundy in bouquets that aren't dome shaped but more organic.
Having had two meetings already, I'm really getting into this whole florist thing, and just in time, I happened upon the Silk and Willow Instagram page today. They specialize in silk ribbons, but looking through their feed I see that their style is MY style! See some pics below and soon I'll share some images from my board :)

Bernadette Jiwa joins The Heart of Marketing to share ideas from her new book Hunch: Turn Your Everyday Insights into the Next Big Thing. In it she busts some of the myths we believe about "creative genius" and how innovation really happens.
"We covet groundbreaking ideas and the people who have them," Jiwa writes in the introduction. "We believe in superstars and visionaries, in the power of Eureka! moments and special circumstances that set great ideas and their creators apart. But when we dig deeper, we find that the secret of these visionaries isn't necessarily their pioneering nature, but rather that they made connections others overlooked."
The good news is that YOU can learn how to make those connections and cultivate your intuition to transform your marketing and your business. Listen in to discover how.
What you will learn:
• How ANYBODY can develop the "ordinary genius" that turns everyday insights into the next big thing
• Why hunches are more important than data in coming up with breakthrough ideas
• The reasons why data and technology can actually be the enemy of insight
• Three human characteristics that fuel intuition for birthing new business ideas
• How a brand or an idea becomes meaningful (and why it's critical to success)
• How to make your brand story much more than just a storytelling message
About Bernadette Jiwa
Bernadette Jiwa is a recognized global authority on the role of story in business, innovation, and marketing. She is the author of five best-selling books on marketing and brand storytelling, including:
• Marketing, a Love Story: How to Matter to Your Customers
• Make Your Idea Matter: Standing Out with a Better Story
• Difference: The One-Page Method for Reimagining Your Business and Reinventing Your Marketing
• The Fortune Cookie Principle
• Meaningful: The Story of Ideas that Fly
Bernadette is based in Melbourne, Australia. She works with global brands like LinkedIn, Zappos, and Adidas to intentionally create products, services, and marketing that help them matter to their customers. She has been named one of the Top 100 Branding Experts to follow on Twitter. She also spoke at TEDx in 2012 about "The Secret to Spreading Ideas."
Her new book titled Hunch: Turn Your Everyday Insights into the Next Big Thing releases in the U.S. on June 6, 2017.
Did you hear the news? Coca-Cola has eliminated its chief marketing officer (CMO) and in its place, drum roll, please, John Gregory Olson! (Well, you're going to have to listen to what Coca-Cola is doing in the C-suite.)
When you think about the role of the CMO, anyway, it's taking a beating. The average tenure for every big brand corporate CMO is, oh, about four years. They last less than a CEO these days.
Think, too, about who reports up to the CMO. How about maybe 10 different departments and hundreds of employees in marketing in various roles? Heck, even public relations reports up into the marketing leadership in most organizations.
On The Heart of Marketing, we've talked plainly about roles and responsibilities in the workplace.
You might like:
Episode 21: Specialist vs. Generalist
Episode 102: Hear the CMO Whine?
Episode 121: With Ann Handley on a variety of marketing topics
There are way too many things for a marketer to do. And, ROI is still an issue. Does your organization have a CMO? If not, which title is closest to that role and are they accomplishing what they need to to take your brand to the next level?
And, we have a shout out today to our loyal listener, Shakirah Dawud. She's the most wonderful copywriter who knows how to deliver value. Reach out to her at Deliberate Ink.
Thank you, All loyal listeners! This is The Heart of Marketing, and I'm Jayme Soulati.

I haven't done this in a while. When I find a site I like I usually just blogroll it and move on. Lately, though, I've added several new sites and thought I would say a word or two about them:
* Page 3 Girls: I added this to spice up the old blogroll, and if that doesn't do it, nothing will. There isn't one post on that page that doesn't contain nudity. You'll notice that I put NSFW — Not Safe For Work — in the title. Please believe me when I say that. Having said that, if cheesecake is your thing that blog should do it.
* Serenity's Journal: Her blog is part politics, part cats and anything else she chooses to muse about. She has libertarian / conservative political leanings and is fun to read.
* Social Reject: In her own words — I am 30-ish, cat lover, pro-choice and anti-religion (which makes me AGNOSTIC and NOT ATHEIST, k?). I speak my mind and I don't care whom I offend while doing so. If you ask my opinion, I will give it with brutal honesty. I don't like whiners, snivelers, conservatives, fundies or militant pro-lifers. Most of all, I REALLY, REALLY hate morons.
What's not to love? She doesn't really jibe with my views, but she is offering three hummers to her 1500th visitor.
UPDATE: I was also attracted by the eyes in the picture on the site. No, this isn't a cheap attempt at those hummers.
* Sketches of Strain: I'm on a cat roll here. David just moved to MT and I'm not sure where his archives are. I do know he's enjoyed watching the whole Acidman soap opera play out and that he liked my post on gay Republicans. He, mistakenly, thought of me as a conservative and was surprised to read a post from a "conservative" that would strongly advocate for the protection of the rights of homosexuals. I was equally surprised to not get admonished over my support for the SCOTUS decision that supported the Boy Scouts' right to exclude gays. He has a voice and I want to hear it, particularly if it doesn't tow the left-wing line.
Well, it's an eclectic few additions to the blogroll. Hint to all of the above: if you wish to actually be SEEN on my blogroll you must ping weblogs.com. See the note to the right above the blogroll.

So, here we are. The eve before the day that will ultimately change my life has finally come. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was sitting at a not-so-comfy desk in a warm, bright-lit room of Murkland Hall last year. I was attending a Cambridge Summer Program meeting, as I was very interested in the program. I remember being the last person to walk into the classroom (as always; and if you know me well, you would that I am quite punctual. And if you know me even better, you know that this whole sentence is the most sarcastic sentence ever written). I marveled at the professors who were telling their stories about Cambridge and about Gonville and Caius (prounced "keys") College.
I guess I really had no idea about any other part of the world, especially England. In Cambridge, it is a vast wonderland of Harry Potter-esque buildings, with narrow cobblestone streets and tarnished brick buildings. Fellow folk venture on bicycles throughout the city or take a small boat around the city's canals. It's a beautiful place. In my mind, anyway, and from the informational meeting.
I first got inspired to study abroad in England after having watched the Royal Wedding. I had a "mini" party in my dorm room, and could not sleep very well. After awakening to the sound of small chickadees and the bleeding dawn dripping from my curtains, I opened my tired eyes and decided to pass the time by watching television, while my friends dreamed on the cold, hard floor. I wanted to watch the news for some reason, so I flipped the channel to NBC, unbeknownst to the magical festivities that were presently occurring five hours ahead of me. London was beautiful. It was so clean, pristine, shiny, and green. It seemed to sparkle, like the glitz of a diamond as it scatters light into one's eyes. I felt envious and curious. I wanted to have a love affair with the city of London, as I have had one with New York (My irresistible desire for Manhattan is unlike any other in this world).
To me, cities are not just, well, cities. They are real and physical. They emanate a sort of essence that only human civilization could offer. Buildings that go as far as the eye can behold, bridges that go as far as they can possibly span, roads that can take you to whatever destination you can imagine; Civilization absolutely fascinates me. When I go to New York, I can feel the radiance that the city itself has to offer me, and I want to explore that in other cities around the world.
I simply cannot wait for this experience, though I am dreading to land in the gargantuan maze of Heathrow Airport as a foreigner. However, I know that I will be alright. I was born to do this; I know that it is my destiny to explore all the possibilities that the world has to offer. I love it, and I appreciate it tremendously. And though I am finally doing so in the prime of my youthful adult-hood, I find myself completely ready
So, in conclusion, this blog marks the final countdown to the beginning chapter of my worldwide travel adventures. Each day, I will write a 500 word (give or take) blurb / blog that incorporates photos and videos. In this way, I will be able to instantaneously (and without writing a novel) convey all my surroundings and experiences to you.
Bon voyage all. I'll be seeing you in mid-August! 🙂

What's in the Works for Release in 2018
It's hard to imagine that another year is swiftly slipping away, but 2018 is currently peeking over the horizon! With that, I'd thought I'd announce my current projects.
In October 2017 - I will be working on a short horror story for an upcoming anthology to be released mid-2018.
Also in October, I plan to participate in the Halloween themed events on Goodreads.
The release of Zac's Guitar!!! It's here - the anticipated release of the 3rd Not Forgotten Book will take place in October, 2018!
Individual works set for 2018 release:
"The Pizza Boys" - a semi-autobiographical novel about growing up in the pizzerias of rural New York. Part love story, part coming of age story, includes a little mystery, intrigue, and humor but not paranormal!
"Obscura" - the fourth title in the Not Forgotten Series. In the quest for proof of the existence of spirits, the Highgate Paranormal Society may stumble upon a more powerful and unexpected truth. Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?
In the meantime, you can catch up on the Not Forgotten Series by purchasing copies of Not Forgotten Lilly's Story and At Second Sight on Amazon.

Man, February went by so fast! I blinked and it was gone! I accomplished so much this last month though. I hit my goal list hard and got so much done.
February Goals:
1. Get all the trim in the house painted. DONE! I finished the last bit of trim earlier this week just scraping by under my February 28 deadline. It was so much work and took 3 full cans of paint but every piece of trim in this house has been painted. And I also painted all the walls in 2 bathrooms, Mason's bedroom, and Zoey's bedroom! Boom!
2. Make all necessary small repairs around the house. NOPE. Well, half done probably. I have a list of about 15 repairs that needed to be done and I finished about 9 of them. So it's still a work in progress.
3. Clear out all the clutter in the house. DONE. Holy cow, where did it all come from? We made 3 trips to Goodwill and we have one more trip to make this weekend. Every single room, closet, drawer, and cabinet was cleaned out.
4. Get every room staged. ALMOST DONE. The entire upstairs is completely staged and finished. Tyler's room is done. The staging part is done but it's the deep cleaning part that I'm working on now on the main floor.
5. Take pictures of each room after it's staged. ALMOST DONE. The entire upstairs is finished and all pictures have been taken and edited. Now I'm working on the main floor. I should be done this weekend hopefully. That week of the flu really screwed up my schedule.
March Goals:
1. Watch less TV. We are seriously contemplating cutting off the cable. It's such a time suck. None of the kids watch television- the stick to YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Matt and I have noticed that most of the time the television is just background noise or we're watching reruns of the same old shows. So why are we paying $100 a month for it? I'm thinking about switching to Hulu Live because we can still watch the few shows that we really love and sports. That's pretty much all we need. So my goal this month is to keep the television off during the daytime and evening and only watch a few shows at night. We'll see how it goes.
2. Find some good pasta salad and slider recipes to add to my Spring meal plan. I'm trying something new for our meal plan this Spring. I'm doing a set meal plan- for example Monday is subs & salads, Tuesday is sliders, Wednesday is pasta salad, etc etc.
3. Finish getting house fully staged and photographed. I'm almost done so this should be an easy goal to meet! I want to be ready to sell this house by mid-March!
4. Have family dinner at least 3 nights a week. We've seriously slacked off on the family dinners lately. We pretty much eat at different times every night and I hate it. Tyler pretty much is never home in the evenings but the little kids can all sit down at the table with us and eat together with no television.
5. Get more sleep. We're up at 5:15am every weekday morning so staying up until 12:30am is not working for me. I'm tired and cranky and by the middle of the afternoon I'm completely unproductive and unmotivated. I'm a natural nightowl so this is going to be hard for me. But it has to be done. I'm going to try to be in bed by 10:30 and lights out by 11. We'll see how this goes.

For many people in the United States having a child is one of the most exciting and important moments in life. Beyond the commitment of time necessary during a pregnancy and up to and during the birth of a child, raising an infant comes with a seemingly infinite number of commitments and responsibilities. With this in mind, the United States federal government enacted the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, also known as FMLA.
Knowing your rights as an employee can save your career
Whether you work in the public or private sector, in a blue collar or white collar job, understanding your rights as an employee can prove crucial to maintaining a healthy, productive and successful career. There are many federal and state laws in place that were created to help protect employees during their course of work.
Understanding the protections of a whistleblower
Some of you may remember the 1999 film, The Insider, starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, based on true events of a whistleblower fighting the tobacco industry. The film received nearly universal acclaim and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture. At the time, the film helped spotlight the rights of whistleblowers in the workplace.
City Councilman suit sheds light on workplace sexual harassment
New York City Councilman Andy King may soon be facing a lawsuit following the firing of a staffer earlier this year. The staffer, who worked at the Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus, worked under King, who was chairman of the group. King is well-known at City Hall for his colorful and outlandish outfits.
Boy Scouts of America in legal battle with the state of New York
The Boy Scouts of America has recently come under fire after the New York attorney general's office opened an inquiry as to whether the group discriminated against gays in their hiring practices. The inquiry stems from a national board ruling which excludes gay Boy Scout leaders 18 years of age or older. Previously, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Boy Scouts have a constitutional right to exclude gays.

ATLANTA (AP) - The latest entry in Dan Uggla's improbable hitting streak was not enough for Atlanta as Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney each had four hits to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Braves 8-4 on Saturday night.
Uggla had a first-inning single and a fourth-inning homer off Randy Wells (4-4) to extend his hitting streak to 33 games.
The majors' longest streak this season began on July 5 when Uggla was hitting .173. It is the longest streak in Atlanta Braves history.
Castro drove in two runs and Wells gave up two runs on eight hits in five-plus innings for the Cubs, who have won 10-of-13.
Derek Lowe (7-11) gave up five runs, three earned, on 10 hits in six innings. He allowed three hits, including Carlos Pena's two-run double that gave Chicago a 3-1 lead in the fifth.

text: The development of digital technology has made made possible many things that were impossible. A cliché to some, but for many people with disability it has real meaning. What is a convenience for some becomes independence for others. The IBM blog features what looks like an extended advertisement for Apple iPhones, but a closer look at Innovating for people with disabilities: Why companies should invest in universal design, discusses how the Internet of Things has changed the world and is now designing for diversity. Tracey Lindeman says that embracing the principles of universal design makes financial sense in the log run as retrofitting can be costly. It may also uncover unintended client bases – a device for people with low vision can help a fire fighter in a smoke filled building. The article contains some nice videos explaining how technology has opened up life and created new opportunities to participate and to retain dignity and independence. Nicely written piece.

of the ABSURD
by LANCE WEBB
Are we big enough morally and spiritually
to handle the physical power we have created?
Docs mankind have the moral and
spiritual character to create and sustain a
technical society of abundance and order
where man's human needs are met? These
arc a few of the questions faced honestly and
squarely by Lance Webb as lie provides an
interpretation of life that transcends the absurdities
of boredom, emptiness, lovclessncss,
and death so prevalent today. __________
These chapters deal in meaningful and understandable terms with the most crucial issues of personal living. The result is a book that brings courage to live to many who find themselves teetering on the "edge of the absurd."
Bishop Webb shows how vital Christian faith brings courage to those who ordinarily find no meaning in the absurd contradictions of life. It is "our stance of faith," he declares, that gives us an authentic self and provides real goalposts for life. It is faith and the experience of Christian living that offer the greatest sense of reality in a world of the absurd.

Money and freedom. That's what inspired Michael R. George to shoot his wife dead inside their comic book store more than 17 years ago instead of divorcing her, an assistant Macomb prosecutor argued Wednesday.
"By killing her he gained many advantages," assistant prosecutor Steven Kaplan told jurors, bombarding them with declarations: "Barbara George was no longer useful. … She was fat and ugly. … She was a hindrance. … She was worth more dead than alive."
Kaplan and defense attorney Joseph Kosmala promoted opposing theories of the first-degree murder case against George in the trial's opening statements in Macomb County Circuit Court in Michigan.
It's an old case from 1990 that was revived last year as part of the prosecutor's office's cold case unit, prompting law enforcement officials to extradite George from Windber, where he had been residing for 15 years.

Sahari Mal, Guru's cousin from Lahore, invited the Guru to grace his son's marriage. For some reason the Guru could not go, but he asked his eldest son, Prithi Chand to attend the marriage. Prithi Chand refused to go. His refusal is attributed to possibly two motives. It is said that he was incharge of the offerings that were made to the Guru and was able to furtively set aside much wealth for himself. If he had gone to Lahore, this illicit gain might have fallen in somebody else's hands. Secondly he thought that the time was fast approaching for the selection of a person to succeed his father as Guru and so he should remain in Amritsar. Mahadev, the Guru's second son, did not want to go because of his indifference to worldly affairs. The third son, Arjan Dev agreed to attend the marriage. He was instructed to stay on in Lahore after the marriage to look after the affairs of the Sikh Sangat of that place.
After some time he started feeling the pangs of separation for his father and the Guru, and wrote three letters, two of which were intercepted by his elder brother, Prithi Chand. A letter marked '3', reached the Guru and Arjan Dev was immediately recalled from Lahore. On his return he told his father that he had sent three letters. The truth came to light and Prithi Chand was forced to produce the other two letters. Thus Prithi Chand's actions were exposed.
Guru Ram Das embraced Arjan Dev, sent for five paise and a coco-nut, and placed them before him. He descending from his throne, seated him there before the whole assembly of the Sikhs. Bhai Buddha affixed the tilak of spiritual sovereignty to Arjan Dev's forehead, and thus he was proclaimed as Guru Arjan Dev. This appened in August, 1581.
Prithi Chand became so mad that he addressed his father in abusive language. He told Bhai Buddha that his father acted improperly in giving Guruship to his younger brother. He vowed that he would remove Guru Arjan and would seat himself on the Guru Gaddi (throne). The Guru counselled him not to quarrel about it, but Prithi Chand refused to submit and adopted an attitude of open defiance.
Having nominated Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Ram Das left for his old headquarters at Goindwal. After a few days He left this world on the first of September, 1581.

Islamic Insurance (Takaful)
In Response to the Formal Interdiction of Conventional Insurance
'Fiqh Council of the World Muslim League and the Islamic Conference resolved in 1978 and 1985 respectively that conventional insurance in its existing form is haram, but takaful, that is, cooperative or mutual insurance, was declared permissible.' Takafala means mutually guarantee and protect one another […] Insurance premiums are not seen as payments made to reduce insecurity, but as tabarru, voluntary contributions made of the good of group members that suffer mishaps. Payments of claims to the policy holders may also be tagged as tabarru. […]'The basic idea of takaful is the sharing of losses, in contract to the transfer of losses against a fee as in conventional insurance'[1]
Comparison of Conventional Insurance (in blue) and Takaful (in red)
A combination of tabarru' contract and agency and or profit sharing contract
Contract of exchange (sale and purchase) insurer-insured
Participant's duty to make contributions to the scheme and are expected to mutually share the surplus
Policyholder's duty to pay premium to the insurer
Takaful operator earns a return for rendering a service of managing the takaful program and from the mudarabah profit sharing scheme as mudarib
Insurance company makes a profit when there is an underwriting surplus
Counter value ('iwad) is effort and/or undertaking of risk
No clear valid counter value. Source of profit is anticipating (hoping) that the uncertain future will be in their favour (that total premiums will exceed total claims)
Takaful operator acts as administrator of takaful fund and pays benefits from it. If there is any insufficiency in the fund, takaful operator must provide interest-free loan to rectify the deficiency
Insurer is liable to pay the benefits as promised from insurance funds or/and shareholder's fund
Indemnification component is based on mutual contribution, reciprocal donation (tabarru')
Indemnification component is a commercial relationship between insurance company and the insured
There is not insurer-insured relationship between takaful operator and participants. Participants act as both the insured and the insurer simultaneously
There is a clear insurer-insured relationship
Takaful funds must be invested in Shari'a compliant instruments
There is no restriction in investment of funds [2]
Types of Takaful Structures
'Tabarru takaful. This is a non-profit model. It is a mutual insurance club run by the participants. Contributions come from the participants in the form of tabarru, though benefactors from outside may also make donations. If at the end of the financial year there is an underwriting surplus, which means that the sum of the premiums exceeds the sum of the claims paid, it should be returned to the participants. Shortfalls mean that benefits have to be reduced, but participants may instead make good the deficit or provide ward hasan[interest free] loans. The non-profit tabarru model perhaps comes closest to the ideal, but does not lend itself to large-scale operations. These call for other models.
Mudaraba takaful. In this model, a takaful operator, a commercial firm, will manage and invest the takaful fund fed by the premiums that the participants pay. The participants or policy holders collectively are the rabb al-mal and the takaful operator acts as the mudarib. Profits from the investments are shared between the takaful operator and the participants' takaful fund according to an agreed ratio, but losses are exclusively charged to the takaful fund. The operator, as mudarib, is not obliged to shoulder any part of a loss. Policyholders should have the right to a full return of any underwriting surplus at the end of the fiscal year, though they may decide to use part of it to build up reserves. If there is a shortfall, participants will have to make up the difference, though the operator may provide a qard hasan loan. The AAOIFI is adamant that the underwriting surplus cannot be shared with the takaful operator, though it may be used for building reserves, reduction of premiums or donations to charities (sources). In practice, however, often not only investment surpluses but also underwriting surpluses are shared between participants and the operator, in particular in Malaysia. The operator's share is seen as an incentive fee. Premiums are based on urf or custom, that is, on the premiums charged by conventional insurance companies and not on expected damages. This mutuality sits uncomfortably with the ideal of mutuality in takaful insurance.
Wakala [agency] takaful. In a mudaraba-based takaful, the takaful operator receives no payment for their activity as manager of the takaful fund. Their income comes from profits. The takaful operator may instead work under a wakala, an agency contract. As the agent, wakil, for the policy holders the operator has the right to a remuneration or fee. This may be a fixed amount or money or a percentage of premium income. Unlike in a mudaraba-based takaful, all operating expenses are charged to the takaful fund but profits on takaful fund investments remain in the fund. In the event of a loss, the operator may again provide a qard hasan loan. Like the mudaraba model, however, the wakala model is not always applied in its pure form. It is not unusual for the operator to receive a share of the underwriting surplus as a performance incentive. This is allowed by the rules of the(IFSB).
A combination of wakala and mudaraba is the wakala-mudaraba model, where the operator is wakil for management and mudaraba for investment. The operator receives a fee, shares in investment profits and may also receive part of the underwriting surplus as an incentive fee.
Wakala-waqf Another variant of the wakala-based takaful is the wakala-waqf model. In general, takaful participants remain the owners of the takaful fund. The wakala-waqf model, however, converts the takaful fund into a waqf , a charitable trust. The tabarru character of the policy holders' contributions or premiums is here taken to its logical conclusion: tabarru is a gift and the participants give up their right to any claim on their contribution. The takaful operator acts as the trustee of the waqf. The operator starts the waqf fund and pays the seed money. The waqf fund is used to pay claims and wakala fees and the investment income may be shared between the operator and the participants or added to reserves. [3]

The FDCP has announced that only Filipino films will be showing at SM Cinemas during the Sineng Pambansa film festival this coming September 11-17. For one week, 45 malls will only be showing the films showcased at the Sineng Pambansa. That includes the 10 films by the master directors, the feature film of TM Malones, Salvi, newly restored classics Manila sa Kuko ng Liwanag by Lino Brocka and Manuel Conde's Genghis Khan, and the last film of the late Celso Ad Castillo, Bahay na Lagim.
For one week, these Filipino films will enjoy the absence of foreign competition while being screened in 45 malls where a large majority of the Filipino film audience are wont to frequent. This is a big boost for the Philippine film industry and hopefully will get more viewers to watch Filipino films.
If this year's Cinemalaya is any indication of where Filipino film is heading, I am hoping that we build and educate the movie-going audiences now to appreciate the width and breadth of our local films and to demand for more variety and to stray from the formula.
I do hope that you can come and choose to see Sonata at the Sineng Pambansa. I must apologise but I think I will be posting a reminder every other day or so right up to the screening because this film means a whole lot to me on so many levels. This is a passion project for so many of the people involved in the film, and while the hard work and dedication that went behind the scenes don't necessarily make a good film (I think a whole lot of films, if not all, were made with hard work and dedication), we are really proud of what we have accomplished and we are so eager to share with you this piece.
See you at the cinemas!

Are you feeling like lucky? Feeling like St. Patrick's Day is a good time to celebrate that luck? Then why not throw a Luck of the Irish party which you can adapt to reflect the kind of luck you enjoy the most?
"Luck of the Irish" is a phrase that dates back to the days of the American gold rush when apparently some of the most successful miners were of Irish and Irish-American descent. The word luck ,which means extremely good fortune, dates back to the Middle Ages where in the 1500's it came about as a gambling term.
You can celebrate Irish luck in the traditional way at St. Patrick's Day parties for children with clovers or shamrocks (three- or four-leaf), rabbit's feet, (use stuffed toy bunnies), lucky pennies, lucky charms, leprechauns, lucky stones, and rainbows. All represent good luck. You could set up large tubs of sand or pebbles in which hidden lucky items are hidden for guests to search for. You can set up relay races for teams who try to be the first to fill their pots of gold with play gold coins.
Irish leprechauns are believed to have a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow, and the person who could capture one of these wee fairy creatures dressed in green would be lucky enough to be granted three wishes. You could hide a paper leprechaun for your guests to find in your home or in your yard–the winner of this scavenger hunt could win a plastic black pot of gold candy coins.
Children can play a number of card games whose "lucky" winners receive prizes. Guests can guess how many chocolate coins are in the leprechaun's pot and the winner takes the coins, which he/she will share with the other guests. Guests can write out their three wishes to be shared later–guests try to guess whose wishes are whose.
Adults can celebrate the "luck of the Irish" by setting up game nights with the guests trying to be lucky enough to be winners. Card parties of all types are always popular–bridge , canasta, poker, bunco and more. If you want to add the excitement of gambling to your games, you may want to rent casino games and go all out for an elegant evening of adventuring.
Horseracing games can be rented so your guests can bet on their favorite horses. You might also get several horse-race videos, have your guests place their bets before you all watch the video. See which of your friends is on a lucky winning streak!
For elaborate scavenger hunts with lucky items or clues where to find them are hidden in your community, you can send your guests out in teams in cars to see who can find the objects first and return home to the finish line. Then treat the winning team to prizes and all your guests to special food and drink for the holiday.
If you plan a fun-loving interactive party like this to celebrate the holiday, there is no way that your guests won't feel they had the luck of the Irish to be invited!! Enjoy!

Femi Fani-Kayode responds to Bianca Ojukwu's threat to sue him to court
If you missed the letter addressed to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode by Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu through her lawyer, read here. However, Femi Fani-Kayode has responded via his spokesman Mr. Bisi Lawal...
Read below...
Chief Femi Fani Kayode's response via his spokesperson - Mr Bisi Lawal
This morning Cheif Femi Fani-Kayode woke up to find a letter that was published as an advertorial in Thisday Newspaper purportedly by Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu's lawyer threatening to sue him for mentioning her in his article and claiming that she has never met him before. She also said that he was being malicious. The matter has of course been reffered to Chief Fani-Kayode's lawyers who will now take it up.
Ordinarily he would have not have said a word about this matter because he sympathises with her for whatever she may have been going through. However now that she has put it in the public realm Cheif Fani-Kayode is compelled to formally respond. To the assertion that he never knew her and that they were never friends he says this is false and he asks why would he lie? The public evidence is to the contrary. Chief Fani-Kayode would not want to say anything to embarrass her because that would be ungentlemanly.
He sympathises with her delicate situation and once again he expresses his regrets about the fact that his statement about her was misconstrued. We shall just leave it at that.
Signed by Mr. Bisi Lawal on behalf of Femi Fani Kayode
