For a long time, 9/11 was just an event to me. It's true that I grew up right outside of Manhattan, and I directly experienced the aftermath of the attack in a number of ways that other citizens could never hope to understand, but still, as young as I was when it happened, 9/11 was just an event. A cataclysmic one, but nothing more.
In the summer of 2013, my father got me a temporary position as a security guard at the National September 11th Memorial. The job was easy enough: stand around and get paid to stare at the concrete. It was dull work, but how could I complain? I was making a pretty decent amount of money and I was expending no real effort. The hardest part of the job was spending so much time in the sweltering city heat, but I was able to handle it.
All of this rapidly changed as the excitement of a new job wore off. With the sheen gone, I started to really pay attention to where I was and what I was guarding. Working for twelve hour shifts at a time will do that to you – you'd be surprised where your mind wanders, what it digs up way back in your subconscious when you least expect it. I started noticing names on the memorial parapets. I started to notice among the torrent of hyper, disrespectful, and clueless tourists my fellow New Yorkers, standing quietly among the trees, crying softly near a name or a group of names, flower in hand. Perhaps my biggest shock was when I started to actually read the names systematically. Too many listed women who had been crushed while pregnant with an unborn child.
The atmosphere of the place took a toll on me mentally and physically. I grew tired only an hour and a half into my shifts. I had to chew gum – my record is 25 pieces in a shift, but thankfully it was sugarless – to keep stimulated. I felt listless while I was at the memorial and overwhelmed with rage and melancholy when I finally left for the night. To say the least, the job was not a healthy one.
It was with this mentality that I met a woman who I still think about to this day. It was a brutal day in the middle of July, and I was tasked with guarding the D gate – all I really had to do was make sure the emergency exit stayed clear and accessible. I was standing under the shade of a tree when an older woman stepped into the shade, sighed, and sat down on the ground next to me. Her husband went off to snap pictures of the site, but she was tired and needed a rest.
Without prompt, this complete stranger began speaking to me, asking me questions about my boyhood, my work at the memorial, and my prospects as an undergraduate. I'll never forget her light but charming southern drawl as she tried her hardest to convince me to pursue physics at her own workplace, the University of Tennessee. This woman really listened to me when I spoke, and she was brimming with excellent advice for what I might do in the future. She spoke to me for nearly an hour before her husband returned and they left to get a bite to eat. I never caught her name, but she put a spring in my step for the rest of that day. When I left work, I was actually smiling.
Speaking to that lady gave me an amazing idea. If I was going work in such a heavy place, why not try and lighten the mood by socializing? People from every corner of the globe came to see the memorial. Imagine what I could learn, what I could share! I promised myself that, for my tenure there, I would interact with as many people as possible.
My plan worked. Guests loved to exchange conversation with a local, and I could hardly believe the enthusiastic response I was met with when I asked an Englishman his opinion on the Scottish secession movement and a man from Denmark his opinion on the Russian annexation of Crimea. This is just a small sample of the people I spoke with. There are times more numerous than I can list here, but they are conversations I'll never forget. Some lasted only a sentence or two. Others lasted for several minutes.
I guess my point in sharing this story is to never give up hope when you're starting a new job. I can guarantee it won't be as easy as you think, or that you might feel like you made a horrible mistake from time to time. But you cope. Everybody copes, and you certainly aren't alone. And when you find a way to enjoy yourself even in the worst situations, then nobody can stop you from smiling.

Interesting Facts Regarding Animal Rights And Welfare That You Need To Know About
We all know for a fact that animals that are being neglected and abused by people are now rampant which become an international concern which needs awareness and attention from different individuals animal welfare groups and private sectors. You need to know that almost all of the western cultures out there have mandated a low that gives punishment to those who are injuring their animals internationally such as forcing them to do too much work or by requiring them hard labor. But then again, their laws are not the only thing they have for animal welfare as they also have facilities that are being used to rehabilitate animals of the wild and also, they have organizations that are supporting their cause and are protecting the natural habitat of animals.
There are actually quite a number of significantly important things that you need to so before you proceed on joining any animal organizations out there such as studying all topics that has something to do with animal rights and welfare and also, to have a much better understanding of what they truly believed in. One of the most famous and largest organization in the world is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or the PETA has gained their popularity due to them speaking against the inhumane and abusive use of animals for research purposes such as the repetitive research with the regards to measuring the effects of caustic chemicals into the eyes of animals and searching for doses that are lethal for household chemicals. And yet, you need to know that, that does not end the things that PETA are known for as included in their fight against animal abuse is the banning of acts that keep animals which are then being used for entertainment, fun and enjoyment as they say, such a practice only shows disrespect for other forms of life.
You may have not noticed it or perhaps you are aware but you just give a thought, but when an animal and a person is matched up accordingly, this only goes to show that the animal will benefit from all the care and all the love they receive, the same amount of unconditional love they give to those they are attached to with. This is the very reason why you need to report any cases of animal abuse perpetrated by humans or any case of animals that are in danger, creating some sort of a nuisance or probably threatening the well-being of citizens, to any organizations concerning animals or with the authorities. Though you may think that the animal you have reported will be locked up however, the truth is that, you are actually saving them from being beaten or hurt badly by other people.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shells
If there are two kinds of food just about everyone loves, they would have to be buffalo chicken wings and stuffed shells. I think this may even be a case where the final outcome is greater than the sum of its parts.
Here's what you'll need:
- 15 jumbo pasta shells
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 Tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
- ¼ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder
- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 1 bottle of Cholula (5 fl. oz) (or whatever hot sauce you like)
- ¼ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (yes, again)
- ¾ cup grated cheese
Before starting anything else, go ahead put a large pan of water on the hot burner so it can come to a boil. Add lots of salt and your shells and follow the package instructions for cooking them. You'll probably want to add a couple extra shells in case any of them crack. When they're finished cooking, drain them and rinse them well with cool water. Next, start on the sauce. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the hot sauce.
Once it's melted, go ahead and add ¼ teaspoon of each of the spices.
Stir and bring it just to a simmer, then remove it from the heat and set it aside. It should look something like this:
Cut the chicken breasts into cubes.
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and sauté over medium heat.
Once it's cooked through, use your spatula and chop it into smaller bits. Could you use a knife? Sure, but that would require dirtying a cutting board and knife, so I opted for this method.
You want them fairly small.
Pour the hot chicken over the cream cheese.
Stir them until they are thoroughly mixed together. Add the herbs and spices and stir them in, as well. As you know from my buffalo wings post, I like ranch dressing with my wings, rather than blue cheese, so these are the herbs and spices used to make ranch. If you prefer blue cheese with your wings, you're weird, but feel free to experiment using a mixture of cream cheese and blue cheese.
Open one of your cooked shells and fill it with the chicken and cheese mixture.
Coat the bottom of a pan (8x8 was perfect) with a thin layer of the buffalo sauce and place your shell inside.
Repeat with the rest of the shells and pour the remaining buffalo sauce over the top.
Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350° for 25 minutes, then uncover and top with grated cheese.
Back into the oven just long enough to make the cheese ooey, gooey, and delicious. (like 10 minutes)
Hubby had a friend over that evening, and I warned him it was experiment night because I'd never made these before and, as usual, wasn't using a recipe. When we finished he asked when the next experiment night was, so I guess that means he approves. Personally, I thought they were absolutely fabulous. Next time I think I might use ground chicken because, well, I'm lazy, and that will make less work for me. I'll probably also double the recipe. We didn't have any leftover, but if we had, I'm sure they'd have reheated beautifully.
What two dishes would you like to see combined into one?

look into our own selves
There were unexpected sink holes all over the place.
Coming into the support business behind the community there were level options. I chose the one that allowed me to find my ME. Thankfully through this training level chosen a group of us went through.
Taking the necessary time. Looking deep into our ownselves. That hurt. Really hurt. To annayse myself had been easy previously. My me simply was falling through the sink holes in time. There were thin layers covering layers. To go deep and then deal with what was realsed was fearful. Suring???????????? which the result was like turning around and finding another you within you. A stalking stranger that had been dogging your shadow in the mists of time. One perminently attached sucking up your energy to feed itself.
I spoke about the want that turned in to a need. Creating pictures. Something all people can feel the textures of . Even with the discription with the picture descrin box havingas detailed explaination within as the people viewing the descriotion either are blind and are wanting to experiene the picture through you w=eyes. It some braid bands not loaded the oictyre very well. The peson reading your post may want to reach out and click the descriotion shouldf they be intregued in what lay behind the words.
Actually the need that arose from the need to create different visuals started the reconnection. Simply by taking a photo of myself in a bathroon mirrror I was looking into the eyes of a very lost soul. My reflection. Shortly after that came the realisation that I was 25 years older than I remembered me being. Click the "Welcome home party was now going on in full in full swing!"

Masking a mask
November Theme: Stencils, Stamps & Masks
Nov. 21 - Use a mask
Prompt: Mask-erade
First I want to share a random memory. Have you ever seen Phantom of the Opera - the broadway show? It was my first show I had seen ON Broadway. I remember we had seats pretty far up in the balcony but when the song "Masquerade" was sung and the swirling color of the costumes of the masquerade ball came into view, I had goosebumps. That was over 25 years ago and I remember it so clearly.
Okay, now back to the challenge-
I decided to use circles as my super simple homemade mask. You can buy masks but you can also simply create them at home with a pencil, cardstock and a scissors. My ink pad was about the size that I wanted my circle to be so I traced it onto cheap cardstock that I use in my printer.
I cut 5 of these.
I added a quick background color in a yellow-green swiped on with a hotel card. Then placed the masks down with a repositionable adhesive.
Super simple. I started adding colors both with a brush and a hotel card until I got a swirl of colors.
I removed the masks and then grabbed my doodle pens and Stabilo pencil and went to town.
I am calling it done while I hum the score of Phantom of the Opera in my head.

We originally bought some Caged Heat to be part of the signature cocktail of our wedding, one of which I didn't have, because it was my wedding, so I was too busy drinking, getting high, and flirting with people whilst I had the best hair and makeup of my life to do the math of an elegant, cultured cocktail.
If I'd had a rubber hose on hand, my bridesmaids would've learned how to give a champagne enema that night. If your makeup had taken three hours like mine, you'd be right there on the floor with me, shitting bubbles into matching lingerie.
Instead, I popped the bottle to make hot toddies on New Year's Eve. If you waver with your confidence in handling ghost pepper, this might be the safest way to try it, because the process of making hot toddies triggers the synapses involved in soup production, and a few "in-progress" sips will give you an idea of how concentrated a drink you can handle. Ghost pepper doesn't just bite you like jalapeno does; it lurks, it lingers, it forms a fist of smoking embers in the back of your throat that unfurls and sets the rest of your body ablaze from your eyelids to your gut flora. Don't be a hero. Water it down and live to shit your entrails another day. I'm a professional.
Caged Heat is like biting into a chewy tamarind candy that's been rolled in the dirt of the most treacherous pepper farm on earth. The earthy spice of cardamom and acrid, festering heat of ghost pepper give chase to that initial sweetness. It's like getting a lukewarm coke after walking through tear gas on a summer night.
Needless to say: I love it. Some Caged Heat with whiskey, water, and honey, reduced over the stove, will make the best hot toddy you've ever had. To say this doesn't diminish the transformative tenderness of those nights snowed in, huddled at the kitchen table, clinging to mugs like they were batteries, staring out unto the ice, unsure if a lover powerful enough to endure Canadian winters was a blessing or a curse. No one can take that away from you, even if you wanted them to.
I've never, in over a decade of drinking, ever sipped whiskey, even good whiskey, and been able to say with any certainty that it was "smooth". Caged heat and honey have helped me appreciate the smoothness (however artificial) of our well bourbon. It takes the puckering sting out of bargain shelf booze—by replacing it with swallowing a phantom sword of pungent flame.
One benefit of the ever-present smoldering in the back of your throat when you drink Caged Heat is that it reminds you to eventually drink actual water, not just a cocktail with a little more ice.
Great for having a quiet, meditative holiday to yourself, inoculating yourself to the barbs of a new year by trying to burn the nerves out entirely.

London Metropolitan University: Stop the Witch Hunt
Public meeting! All welcome.
Tuesday 5 March, 6.20pm – 8pm
Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, N7 6PA
(Next to Nags Head Shopping centre)
Short film screening
Speakers include:
Mark Serwotka, General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union
Michael McNeil, UCU Head of Higher Education
Denise Bertuchi, Assistant National Officer, UNISON
Professor Linda Clarke, Professor of European Industrial Relations, University of Westminster
Steve Jefferys, Max Watson, Jawad Botmeh
Three members of staff at London Metropolitan University's Working Lives Research Institute (WLRI) have been suspended from work in an attack on human rights, trade unions and academic freedom.
Professor Steve Jefferys, European employment relations academic, Director of London Met's Faculty Advanced Institute for Research (FAIR) and head of WLRI, was suspended on Wednesday 20 February for 'potential gross misconduct'. Five years previously, he had agreed that Jawad Botmeh should have the chance of going forward to be interviewed as a part-time casual administrative worker on a temporary three month contract in WLRI, when Jawad had a criminal record (he had served 13 years on a conspiracy to cause explosion charge, a charge which is widely believed to be a serious miscarriage of justice).
Jawad Botmeh, after working for five years to the complete satisfaction of all staff and post-graduate students who worked with him, was overwhelmingly elected to the Board of Governors as one of two staff representatives. Two weeks later, on February 7 he was suspended.
Max Watson, a WLRI administrator who is also Chair of the London Met UNISON branch, was also suspended on February 7. Max had recently been singled out by the Vice-Chancellor in an all staff email because of UNISON's opposition to the involvement of Capita in the university's Business Process Review.
Steve, Jawad and Max have broken no university rules. They have all been entirely open and honest with the university.
Professor Jefferys had the authority to make casual appointments. There were no procedures suggesting he should discriminate against former prisoners. Jawad had twice informed the university in writing of his earlier prison sentence and conviction and this evidence is on their files.
The WLRI was set up by London Met to undertake 'academic, applied and socially committed research and teaching, emphasizing equality and social justice into all aspects of working lives'. Now is the time for the university to be FAIR to the Institute and its staff.
These suspensions are an attack on the principles of staff rights and representation, on social justice and on academic freedom.

Now after several attempts with various diets you are deciding to try low carb? Low carb eating is very popular these days and for good reason. If you can successfully stick with the proper eating habits you can lose, lose, lose the weight. If you are thinking about starting this type of dietary change, a support group will really help you. You also need tons of information on what you should be eating and shouldn't be eating. That along with learning how to check for carbs will help you be successful with you low carb diets.
Many people choose the "No White Diet". A diet I am fairly familiar with. You just stop eating foods that contain white flour, white rice, potatoes, milk and sugar. This is an easier way to go low carb by just remembering to always avoid foods containing these items. You will significantly cut your carbohydrates in your diet and will see results quickly. I know I did .
Support groups or just someone else on the diet really helps. They can fill you in on all the tricks and tips to staying low carb. You can find many cool recipes to still enjoy foods you love but do it the "low carb way". It's also a great way to stay motivated. When you hear others stories of what they are going through and how much weight they have lost you will WANT to stay on the diet.
Low carb can be a little challenging but the rewards are wonderful. You will hear about how hard the first week is, well they are correct. The first week does seem like the hardest but it is worth it. You can learn more in detail by checking out information on Atkins, South Beach Diet, and browsing through some online low carb groups. If you're currently on or have been on a low carb diet please share your stories!

Hello...What is your opinion of the Muhl Tech tee? I coach varsity players and we currently work with standard tees. I was told to check out the Muhl Tech Advanced Skills tee by others and I did. It makes sense to me too that this tee would force/train hitters to have a short, compact swing.
Swing Smarter Response:
Hi Phil, very good question, and when I was doing research on hitting aids a few months ago, this tee, and others like it, did come to my attention.
I see what it's suppose to do, shorten the swing, however, swinging down on the baseball is only half the process because you have to also be long through it, and this tee will make it difficult; let me tell you why...
The forward arm. It can be intimidating to a hitter having that steel arm there. Yes, the Muhl Tech tee sales literature says, contact is actually made in front of the plate, contrary to the way conventional tees typically set up with the ball over the middle of the plate.
The beauty of old school baseball hitting tee design is you can do a lot to simulate inside, outside, and down the middle pitches just by moving closer, farther away, back towards the catcher, or closer to the pitcher. When working up the middle I have my hitters line their stride foot up with the ball.
The forward arm will make it difficult to swing through the three baseballs I talk about quite often on the Swing Smarter site because the barrel of the bat actually drops below the hands in the contact zone.
So, I probably wouldn't recommend this tee, that being said, I haven't used it yet, so here's where I ask you: has this hitting aid shown any backspin line drive results with your team, besides more ground balls I'd assume? The Swing Smarter main goal is putting backspin on the baseball, make the ball work for the hitter...from what you've seen, does this device help to do that?
The Muhl Tech Tee and the hitting Skills Mat combo goes for $124.95 plus shipping on the manufacturer's website, which could easily be a $150 total cost.
Thanks Phil for your question, and your feedback on the tee's use is highly sought after. I also think you can't go wrong with the plain ol' baseball hitting tee...if you want better durability and a tee that teaches hitters to hit the bottom half of the ball, then you may want to look into the https://www.thestartinglineupstore.com/index.php/backspin-batting-tee.html target='_blank'>Backspin Batting Tee, they're $234-380 shipped at The Starting Lineup store, and are definitely worth the investment.

When we first become Christians, many of us struggle with assurance of salvation. We are not secure in our identity with Christ. We are warned in the Bible not to fall away from the faith. We wrestle with questions, such as "How will I know if I will persevere in the faith? How do I know that I won't encounter a situation in which I will walk away from what I know be true?" Especially "What do I do with the verses in Hebrews which seem to suggest that as a Christian, I can finally reject the gospel and claims of Christ at the peril of my soul?" You will find the answers to all of these questions and more in this book. This book was written as a text book for seminary students. I want to compel any of you that may be struggling with assurance of salvation or who are looking for answers to any questions about the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints to take the time to read this book. We are told to strive to enter the narrow gate, and if we have doubts about our faith, we need to find the answers so that we may answer the many calls to grow and mature in the faith. We are commanded to count the cost of following Christ and not to build our house on sinking sand. The direction of our lives and eternal life is at stake. This is the best book on the market to find the answers to what you need to know.
If you are having problems with this subject, please take the time necessary to get the answers you need. Our faith will be weak without them, and our light will not shine before the world the way it could if we are not secure in our joining to Christ. When you have these questions answered, you will have more conviction in your profession of faith and grow more in your knowledge and understanding of the Bible. In addition, you will be a more obedient follower and will be more confident in your evangelism to reach a world that that does not have the hope that is in you.

|Have you got the Miata diff in hand? We've had a lot of experience with them in our SCCA SMs and the diff is a little odd in how it bolts into the subframe assembly in a Miata. I don't know how to duplicate this in a JH, although you could do it with a lot of cutting and torching in the area where the stock gas tank is now. You can move that around though, so no huge issue.
Be a lot of work for sure, but it'd come out fine.
You might also take a look at the Ford 7.5" IRS from the Thunderbirds (also a 8.8" version too but that would be way overkill). It is a little more conventional and might fit better, but on either one, Mazda or Ford, I think you'll need the entire thing - uprights, arms, etc. and weld that joker in there.

|I have a JH5 and I also have a rotary powered Triumph Spitfire which uses Miata and RX7 drivetrain and suspension components including a home built IRS. (Look for an article on the Spitfire in an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports.)
The short answer to the Miata subframe question: no it won't fit under a J-H. That's not to say a custom IRS couldn't be built; in fact that's on my list of projects. No it's not simple, particularly since one of my criteria is that it be 'bolt in' with no cutting of the J-H.
The 300ZX, second gen RX7, third gen RX7, and 240 SX are all similar in track width to a J-H but again major chopping would be required to get their subframes under the car. Those are 'compromise' IRS's with weird toe changes for rear wheel steering so you probably wouldn't be happy with the results. The Miata's geometry is a much better design.

An IRS would be pretty cool, but a solid rear end would be a lot easier to engineer. The Chevy S10 2x4 has a similar track, disc brakes and limited slip. Weld in upper and lower arm mounts, a Panhard rod, and you're done.
Jensenman does have a valid point in that a lot of IRS are 'compromise' suspensions. If I remember correctly, even the guys at Saleen retrofitted a solid axle into the first generation of Mustang that had IRS (SN95?). If Saleen couldn't make an IRS work, I know I surely couldn't do it!
Of course all this depends if you are building a 'show' car or a 'go' car. IRS will win hands down for a show car, however, if you are building a competition car stick with a solid rear end.

|The Saleen guys did swap a stick, or solid, axle in place of a Mustang GT IRS. The story goes that it was simpler, not necessarily better. Lots of the Mustang guys drag race and IRS 'anti squat' is very limited, creating weight transfer problems at launch.
I autocross and for that reason prefer an IRS, it's easier to tune out roll steer and engineer in camber gain.

|I always thought the Saleen guys kept the solid rear axle because they didn't want to re-invent all of that geometry? I'll agree a lot of Mustang guys are drag-racers, but didn't a famous TV comic campaign a Saleen for years in SCCA/IMSA road-racing?
And to confuse matters further...When Trans-Am allowed IRS they found negligible gains over a solid rear axle or De-Dion tube.
In the conventional (factory) sense, a solid axle is simple, but when you get into de-coupled torque-arms, bird-cages, 6th Coils, pre-loaded panhard rods, etc., the circle track guys have some truely amazing set-ups.

|A solid axle setup, correctly designed, is as good as an IRS in many applications. A circle track car, since it only turns one direction, is a perfect place for a stick axle.
A lot of the solid rear axle setup secrets lie in the suspension's roll stiffness; the less body roll the better since that minimizes the roll steer of a four link setup. Of course that brings up its own set of problems. I battled that whole thing with my 1979 RX7. The best set up early RX7's are using a 'tri link' setup which minimizes the roll oversteer. Thing is, by the time you do all that, it's just as easy to build an IRS. I am currently building a rotary powered Opel GT which has a stick axle stock. I have a complete 1st gen RX7 limited slip disc brake axle, my first thought was to narrow and use that. After crawling all over, measuring everything, and plotting suspension mount points for best rear geometry, heck I'm going to build an IRS for it, too.
Where an IRS shines is over uneven surfaces and in its tuneability. Being able to add and remove camber and toe in or out without having to replace the axle housing is a good thing. For instance, the Kumho V700 tires I was using on my RoSpit are discontinued, and when I went to the new ECSTA V710 it was easy to set it up. It took one afternoon, a set of toe plates, a bubble camber gauge, a memory pyrometer and a handful of shims.

Extremes that actually do happen as a result of greed include things such as murder, stealing, kidnapping, and stuff like that. These are huge extremes, but there are other things people might do to gain stuff, such as bribery and threats, or sometimes they do nothing. It all depends on how deep the greed is, or how much they want whatever it is they want.
As a result of their actions, a person will break or damage their relationships with others. Murder and such will, other than get them in jail, destroy their relationship with everyone they know (except for people who helped them or urged them on). Smaller things like threats and such will harm their relationships, but not destroy them completely (unless they have that one friend who can "never forgive you for that").
The effect that greed has on the mind is a huge one. Other than being a "fast-spreading poison", as mentioned before, it can stop your whole life from moving on. Greed can make you go insane with wanting (or make other people go insane with your wanting), and even if you know you don"t want to do certain things to get the thing you want, you might end up doing them anyway. You may end up regretting everything you did, or maybe not if you"re some psychopathic person who wants power and will kill people to get it" that sounds like something Macbeth did"
Loyalty is far, far away from greed, and will be pushed away if it attempts to come closer. Greed ignores all loyalty, even friends and family in some cases. Basically, greed is bad and should not exist if we"re to have a "perfect world". But, as I have said, greed is definitely more powerful than loyalty, for, with greed, a person may end up doing something they regret, harming their relationships with people, and harming themselves (specifically the mind).

More than two-thirds of the American clients recently polled by deVere Group told us that they had "actively considered," "are thinking about," or "have explored the option of" giving up their U.S. citizenship.
Yes, you read it correctly: 68% of the U.S. citizens we surveyed report that they are interested in severing ties with America. A shocking figure? Indeed. It is also supported by official statistics of passport relinquishments. The number of Americans relinquishing their U.S. citizenship surged in the second quarter of 2013, to 1,131 cases, compared with 189 in the same period in 2012.
But it is perhaps not as shocking when you consider that it was U.S. citizens living overseas who were the respondents in deVere's survey and that it is the estimated 7.2 million American expatriates and 13 million green-card holders who are the ones who are soon to suffer the serious, adverse effects of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a new law that Washington will bring into effect on July 1.
FATCA, which purportedly is designed to tackle tax evasion an objective that it cannot achieve effectively with its dragnet approach presents a host of major challenges for U.S. expats. These include being rejected from banks in their country of residence, because due to FATCA's burdensome regulations Americans are now typically deemed more trouble than they are worth by foreign financial institutions.
Bearing all this in mind, it is arguably quite understandable and sensible that such a high number of U.S. citizens abroad anyone with overseas assets of more than $50,000 is covered by the complicated and costly new reporting requirements have or are considering renouncing their American citizenship, a move that would put them beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Americans tell us that they find the prospect of possibly relinquishing their U.S. citizenship due to a new piece of contentious legislation deeply unpalatable. Citizenship is often a huge part of identity, especially for expats. Surrendering it can be a deeply emotional experience.
With this in mind, I recommend that all other bona fide options to mitigate FATCA's onerous, expensive and privacy-infringing burdens are fully explored first. This is also important financially, because there are also established disincentives, such as exit taxes, for those wishing to cut ties with the U.S. for tax reasons.
It is therefore not unreasonable to assume that as the FATCA deadline looms and Americans overseas move to seek other, less drastic, ways to mitigate FATCA's adverse effects, the steady upward trend in passport relinquishments we have seen in recent times will taper off.
In March, deVere Group, which has more than 80,000 mainly expatriate clients worldwide, reported a 45% increase in the number of clients enquiring about the various FATCA-compliant solutions that are now available. One such solution for the U.S. taxpayer with assets abroad is to create a tax-efficient, supplementary overseas pension contract.
I have objected to FATCA from the start, not only because it is an expensive and ineffective way to achieve its stated aims of fighting the serious global issue of tax evasion, and not only because of the negative impact it will have, and is already having, on Americans who choose to live and/or work outside of the U.S.
Like many others, I also fiercely oppose this law for its raft of wider adverse implications. Beyond turning U.S. expats into financial pariahs in their country of residence, it gives a leprosy-like status to U.S. businesses that operate internationally and will slash foreign investment in America. There are also the issues of FATCA's intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) violating other nations' sovereignty and local laws, and possibly damaging important international trade accords. All this to perhaps recover up to $1 billion per year, a figure repeal-FATCA lobbyists estimate is enough to run the federal government for less than two hours.
Green is the founder and CEO of deVere Group, an international financial advisory firm with $10 billion of funds under administration and management. He is based in Dubai.

Bruins Forward Milan Lucic Taunts Canadiens Fans from Penalty Box (Video)
Lucic taunts Canadiens fans? Yeah, there's a shocker.
The Bruins and Canadiens constitute possibly the fiercest rivalry in the NHL, so things are always a little bit chippy. But last night's meeting was especially tense because it was the first time the two historic franchises had met since their epic seven-game Eastern Conference semifinal series last spring—an epic series which the Canadiens won. And given that Milan Lucic is Boston's bigget sh*t-disturber, it should come as no surprise that he got into it with some fans.
Lucic took a boarding penalty with 1:20 left in the third period with the Bruins trailing 5-4. Then, already displeased with the actual call—which, to be fair, was questionable—Lucic then turned his attention to Canadiens fans behind the sin bin, making a somewhat obscene gesture to them before raising an imaginary Stanley Cup as if to ask, "Hey, when was the last time you guys won the Cup, anyway?"
Take a look: In case you were wondering, Montreal is 24-9 against the Bruins all-time in the playoffs, and their 23 Stanley Cups is 10 more than any other franchise. (Yes, ten more.) But the last time they won was 1993, while the Bruins hoisted the grail in 2011. So that's the basis of Lucic's taunt.
Gotta love rivalries, right?

At The Miller Center, patient satisfaction is paramount, so when you undergo root canal therapy at our office, you can rest assured that we will make you feel as comfortable as possible. During treatment, we remove infected tissues from within the tooth, fill the space, and seal it to prevent further decay. In most cases, the final step of treatment is the placement of a dental crown. If you are suffering with advanced tooth decay, root canal treatment can be performed in our office to provide the relief you need. Contact us today to learn more.
Root Canal
Root Canal Therapy Can Save a Damaged Tooth
Root Canal Candidates
If your tooth becomes severely decayed or damaged from previous trauma, its pulp – the nerves and blood vessels within it – can become infected. This can cause discomfort and, if left untreated, can break down the entire structure of the tooth and affect the jaw bone. You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Swollen or sensitive gums near a specific tooth
- An ongoing lesion or sore on the gums
- A tooth that appears darker than adjacent teeth
- Severe tooth sensitivity to pressure, heat, and cold
- Toothache
If you experience these symptoms, contact us as soon as possible to schedule an exam.
The Root Canal Procedure
First, we will assess the extent of infection with a visual exam and digital X-ray. In most cases, we only need to perform root canal therapy on a single tooth.
Once diagnosed, Dr. Miller will numb the affected area with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. You may request sedation if you feel anxiety or apprehension about the procedure. Next, he will place a rubber sheet around the tooth to keep it sterile and dry during treatment. A small hole will be created in the top of the tooth; then, Dr. Miller will use our advanced rotary file, designed specifically for this treatment, to remove the affected tissue from within the tooth. After the pulp is removed, he will clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth. If you suffer from a severe infection, the doctor may place medicated material inside the tooth for one week to eradicate any disease. Next, they will fill the hole with a synthetic compound known as gutta-percha before sealing the tooth. This compound prevents the tooth from becoming weakened by the procedure.
To restore the outer layers of your teeth, we typically place a post and build up the core of the tooth with bonding material so that it can support a dental crown. The doctor will then cap the tooth with a crown to improve its appearance, protect it from further damage, and restore the balance of your bite.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy provides many advantages, including:
- Saving the tooth from further damage and avoiding the need for extraction
- Relief of uncomfortable symptoms such as toothache, swelling, and temperature sensitivity
- Protecting the rest of your smile from infection and damage
- Providing a more attractive appearance, especially with our strong, natural-looking ceramic dental crowns

Top finance executives gave the economy its highest score in five years and were significantly more confident about economic growth in 2013 compared to last year, according to a new survey that found more of them indicated their companies are expanding globally.
Executives who participated in Bank of America Merrill Lynch's 2013 CFO Outlook Mid-Year Update gave the U.S. economy an average score of 58 out of 100, up from 49 in the previous survey conducted in late 2012. CFOs gave the global economy a score of 51, up from 45. The survey was conducted by Granite Research Consulting, which interviewed 250 CFOs, finance directors and other executives selected randomly from U.S. companies with annual revenues between $25 million and $2 billion. Interviews were conducted from late April to late May 2013.
In the survey, CFOs voiced stronger optimism this year about economic growth, with 55 percent anticipating expansion in 2013, compared with 39 percent in the previous survey. Only 10 percent said they expect the economy to shrink, down from 24 percent.
This confidence comes as U.S. companies continue to do more business in other countries, with 76 percent of CFOs reporting some type of activity in foreign markets. That figure is up from 73 percent in the previous survey and 67 percent one year ago, as more companies are buying from, selling to and establishing operations in non-U.S. markets.
"Beyond their brighter view of the economy, CFOs and their companies remain focused on new markets and opportunities for international growth," said Alastair Borthwick, head of Global Commercial Banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in a statement. "While expanding into other countries is attractive, doing business globally brings many challenges and often requires a wide range of financial solutions. More than ever, U.S. companies are seeking help with accessing capital, managing risk, maximizing cash and increasing efficiency as they grow their businesses."
When asked about the potential concerns they have for the U.S. economy this year, executives overwhelmingly named health care costs, with 72 percent ranking it as a significant concern, up from 62 percent in the previous survey and 51 percent one year ago. The cost of health care also was the top financial concern for CFOs' own companies, with 70 percent ranking it a significant concern, up from 58 percent and 51 percent. No other responses in the latest survey were above 50 percent. The survey responses were taken before the federal government's recent announcement that the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act would be delayed until 2015.
To offset costs related to the Affordable Care Act, the top actions listed by CFOs were increasing health care costs per employee, cutting spending elsewhere in their businesses, implementing preventative health care programs and raising prices on products and services.
The survey also found that 48 percent of CFOs expect their companies to hire employees this year, up from 45 percent in the previous survey. In terms of revenues and profits, 56 percent of CFOs expect revenue growth at their companies—the same percentage as in the previous survey—while 43 percent anticipate growth in profit margin, up from 40 percent.
CFOs gave the manufacturing sector a score of 57 out of 100, up from 53 in the previous survey, making it the highest mark since 2011. This was the seventh consecutive survey in which the sector received a score above 50.
When asked about foreign markets, 84 percent of the CFOs surveyed said their companies have operations in Canada or Mexico, 72 percent said Asia and the Pacific, 66 percent said Europe, the Middle East or Africa, and 25 percent said Latin America.
Asked about their foreign expansion plans, 37 percent of CFOs named Asia and the Pacific, 27 percent said Canada or Mexico, 15 percent said Europe, the Middle East or Africa, and 9 percent said Latin America.
The CFOs who were polled generally don't expect a decline in sales to foreign markets, with 94 percent indicating they expect sales to stay the same or increase, up from 91 percent in the previous survey.
Among the challenges facing companies as they grow globally, the most common were having local, on-the-ground expertise—cited by 19 percent of CFOs—followed by risk management, a country's economic stability and local/international laws, each at 18 percent.

Characterization of the dizinc analogue of the synthetic diiron protein DF1 using ab initio and hybrid quantum/classical molecular dynamics simulations
The structural and dynamical properties of the four alpha-helix bundle Due Ferri 1, which is a generic mimic of diiron proteins, have been explored using density functional theory (DFT) based and hybrid quantum/classical molecular dynamics (QM/MM) simulations. Four quantum mechanical (QM) representations of the active site have been employed in order to systematically assess the role of first and second shell interactions: (a) a 66-atom fragment of the active site comprising only first shell ligands, (b and c) two systems (78 and 86 atoms) containing different second shell hydrogen bonds, and (d) a 98-atom model including both the first and second shell residues. Two QM/MM partitioning schemes have been explored in order to explicitly consider the role of the whole protein environment: (a) a 54-QM-atom model in which only the first shell ligands are described at the DFT level, while the rest of the protein environment is taken into account at the MM level and (b) a 68-QM-atom model in which the first shell ligands plus a second shell hydrogen bond network is considered at the DFT level. All of the calculations confirm the highly flexible nature of the carboxylate-bridged binuclear motif and demonstrate the importance of the whole protein environment in stabilizing the hydrogen bond networks that surround the active site. The present QM/MM approach allows for the identification of key factors governing the stability/reactivity of the active site and thus provides unique insights that can be exploited for the future tailoring of new highly selective biomimetic enzymatic compounds.

If you're following my series on how toDEFINE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE IN YOUR HOME
you know I'm on a mission!
"I want to help you create a home that
really expresses your true personality and tastes."
We've been walking through your house, one room at a time,
so I can point out ways to put your signature on each space.
And now we stand at the doorway of your bedroom...
Before we enter, what's your first impression of the space you've created?
Does it beckon you?
is it so scary you're afraid to step inside???
We know that our bedrooms should nurture, protect and re-energize.
But, if you're like most of us. It just hasn't worked out that way.
The one place that can have the greatest impact on our daily lives
is often ignored to the point that it is actually an irritation, rather than a pleasure.
"What are you going to doing about it?"
It starts with a better understanding of YOU,
and what makes you feel good.
And the answer is different for each one of us.
But there is a way to get the ball rolling...
Start by PICKING A COLOR FOR YOUR WALLS.
One that gives you a sense of well-being and security
A recent survey in House Beautiful magazine
indicated that Blue is the favorite among readers for the bedroom.

"It's so important to get it right."
It may be trial and error to zero in on the perfect color or shade.
Don't be shy about testing your paint options on the wall.
You'll get a much better sense of what works after seeing it during different times of the day
and after dark, when the lamps are on.
I'm going to leave it at that, for now...
in hopes that you'll take the time to discover your signature bedroom color.
Next time, we'll talk about what goes in your bedroom...
and more importantly, what DOESN'T!

Author: Elisa Ludwig
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Publication Date: March 13, 2012
236 pp.
ARC from publisher via Netgalley
What's weird is that as I'm writing this book review at a coffeehouse, two young white women are talking about their time in private school and how two Latino kids (the only two in the school!) spoke Spanish together in the cafeteria and how stigmatizing that was.
So Elisa Ludwig seems to have tapped into a certain private school zeitgeist in her debut novel (the first in a series), Pretty Crooked.
Willa Fox is the newbie at ultra-rich Valley Prep. After years of moving around the country with her bohemian mom, a big sale of her mom's artwork gives them the cash to live it up in fancy schmancy Paradise Valley, Arizona. Willa starts hanging out with the all-powerful Glitterati and moons over cute boy Aidan.
Except all is not well in her shiny new world. First of all, Willa learns that the Glitterati are cyber-bullying the Latino scholarship kids. As a newbie, she doesn't feel she has the clout to stop it. But she gets the admittedly crazy idea to steal from the Glitterati and give the money to the needy students a la Robin Hood. Secondly, her mom begins acting secretive and distant and Willa suspects she's meeting a man. But when Willa's hiding a big secret of her own, she can't exactly confront her mom.
I liked Willa's snarky voice and Aidan is a more well-rounded cute boy than I've read in awhile. I loved that the author wrote a story that wasn't just about shopping and mean girls, but also brought up questions about race and class.
A few things bumped me, though, and one of them was how the author handled race. And if you don't want to read me going all PC Police, then go ahead and skip this paragraph. (still with me? good.) When Willa meets the scholarship kids, who are speaking Spanish in the cafeteria, she calls them Mexicans. Well, they could be Mexican citizens, but chances are, they're not. They're probably Mexican-Americans. But they might be Guatemalan-American or Salvadoran-American or Something Else-American. Plus, calling them just "Mexicans" further stigmatizes them by taking away their American identity. Why Elisa Ludwig didn't use the generic and usually PC acceptable "Latino" is odd to me. Lumping all brown skin others as "Mexican" is a big PC no-no. Just sayin'.
(skip this paragraph, too, if you've had enough of my PC rant) What makes me sad about the author's word choice of "Mexican" is that it could have been a great character moment. Willa, once she befriends the scholarship kids, could learn how uncool it is to call them "Mexican." But that never happens. And what makes me sadder is that this probably arises from a larger issue of there not being enough editors who are people of color and who could have pointed that out. Now, this was an ARC, so there is a chance that someone caught and changed this before the final proof. We'll see. (end of PC rant. promise.)
The other thing that bumped me was that the last, big moment between Aidan and Willa was not earned at all. I felt it came out of nowhere for no good reason. I could go on, but I don't want to get spoiler-y. But, again, this was an ARC, so maybe the ending changed. I did notice that my ARC copy was 236 pages, but Amazon says the book has 368 pages. I've never seen that big of a discrepancy between an ARC and a finished book before. I think I may need to do an update on this book after it's released.
I'd recommend this book to readers who liked Lives of Our Own by Lorri Hewett or Defining Dulcie by Paul Acampora.

Pick up a book and start reading together with the kids.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) August 04, 2013
Get your kids reading this summer with tips by seasoned moms on Kids Activities Blog. Parent child reading time can be great bonding time and can be a time to connect with each other.
Books cover a vast range of topics. Do not force the child to read any books that they do not want to read. Instead, let the child dictate his or her reading. Ensure that the books are appropriate for reading and age level. Ensure that they are the major part in making the book choices.
Signing up for local summer book clubs at the local library or book stores, having an established reading time every day and sticking to it, reading some of the same books together and discussing them will ensure plenty of reading time.
Other tips include reading a book then watching the movie, reading on road trips, hosting a book swap, combining activities with reading books, and setting a reading goal for the summer are only some of the fun ways to get kids to read.
Establish a parent child reading club this summer. Read books together and set time to discuss them. Reading together makes for great family bonding time.
For detailed instructions and to get additional reading tips, check out Kids Activities Blog this week. Come get inspired to get the kids ready for back to school.

We get SO many brides-to-be asking if they can wear sleeveless or strapless gowns for winter weddings or fall weddings. The weather, after all, doesn't lend itself to baring arms unless you live somewhere down south. But that's why bridal caps, bridal stoles, and bridal jackets were created! Sleeveless wedding dresses and strapless wedding dresses are still the norm, even with all manner of beautiful sleeved wedding gown options out there.
So, what's the short answer to the question of sleeveless in cold weather?
Absolutely! Today's most popular wedding gown styles include strapless and sleeveless gowns that you can wear year round if you bundle up.
With the help of some easy to wear bridal accessories, you can stay warm for your outdoor travels, events, or photo ops without sacrificing that traditional wedding day look. You can add a satin or faux fur wrap, bolero jacket, or glamorous long gloves. We love this amazing silk bridal jacket from Amada Wakeley:
The best part? Cold weather bridal accessories can add additional drama to your wedding photos. First, it's jacket on and then jacket off… or jacket blowing in a chilly wind. Or think of a gorgeous fur or faux fur stole dripping from your bare shoulders. Sounds beautiful, no? And warm, too! We don't want our brides to freeze their buns off no matter what the weather.

And now onto the real post of the day.....
The cursed seventh year.
It is the stuff of legend on a mommy message board I belong to.
Everyone knows, or at least has heard, that marriage can be really really hard sometimes. When two imperfect people come together there is bound to be some crazy stuff going down sooner or later. We are emotional people. We expect a lot from the person we love. The person we love fails us, inevitably. And when the one person that's supposed to be in our corner is the one person we are at odds with, life SUCKS for a little while. Yay marriage!
I think we've been conditioned to believe that the tough times are the times that weaken our relationships...any relationship, really...but especially with a spouse. Having problems must mean that something is wrong. (Something IS wrong, but usually not what we think at first. Stay with me here, haha.)
But I am here to say...bull!
Tough times are tests. And we are only presented with tests in this life after we have been given a little (and sometimes ample) time to study up. Nothing, and I mean nothing, in this life is thrown at us without a way out, without tools to deal. (1 Corinthians 10:13) And when we can't see what has been given to us to help us deal, God promises that he will always be there to listen and help us see the clear path. He can take the burdens away. Whether or not we turn to God in our moments of despair is, I believe, also a test. ;)
Tough times mean you are being primed and readied. Ready for a change. Ready for a test. That's why difficult times show us what we are really made of, how far we've come...and more importantly, what we're not - what we still need and WHO we need. Sometimes tests and trials are a gentle reminder, and sometimes they are a big punch in the face to tell us to WAKE UP!! At any rate, they truly do make us stronger in the end. No one is tested for no reason. We don't always know what the reason is, but it's not really our job to know. We are students, we are the clay.
So back to that seven year curse.
About a year ago I was perusing one of my favorite websites, when a topic came up about problems in marriage. Women from all over the country and around the world were sharing stories of how, in their seventh year of marriage, they were REALLY tested in some way in their relationship. It was an odd and almost eerie coincidence that year seven marked the beginning of really tough times for so many people. Many stories were shared of how perfectly happy and normal couples hit a wall in that seventh year. Sadly, many divorced in that seventh year. It was as if life just began to unravel for them.
I read those stories with a little trepidation. Eric and I hadn't been married for quite that long, and we had yet to be faced with any huge obstacles in our relationship. We had an awesome marriage, as far as I could tell. But did we really?
I mean. We loved each other. We worked well together. We rarely fought. But...it was easy to do. Our marriage was easy. We had yet to be tested by anything that might pit us on opposite sides of an issue. We were always on the same page with everything. Clearly, we still had a lesson to learn. :)
Dun dun dun....
Cue this summer. It completely blindsided us. When you celebrate an anniversary, it's not the beginning of a new year you are celebrating, but the completion of a previous one. This summer was our seventh summer. We celebrated our seventh anniversary yesterday. (Hooray!) But we did not come out of this year without some really difficult times. We were tested in ways that we have never been tested before (and please God, never again!! Please!!)
I've touched on it a little bit here, but this summer was awful for us. I can't even share all of the reasons why. But it was AWFUL!! I am still dealing with some of the raw emotions. (I would like to clear up here, for the record, that it was nothing scandalous. Haha. No like, Josh Duggar lite stuff going on.) I feel like our relationship has been forever changed because of everything we faced. But that's not necessarily a bad thing in the end. We learned so much about each other. We learned how to talk through the really tough issues and how to deal delicately with each other's feelings when we clearly disagree on something. I wanted to give up. I was done feeling like a nut case and I was so over my emotions being all over the place. I just wanted it to be OVER. Anything, just make it stop!
But Eric proved himself to me over and over again with the patience of a saint that nothing will ever come between us. He looked me in the eyes, my face in his hands, and said, "I am not going to let this happen."
I have come to this blog year after year and shared wedding memories and lovely sentiments about my husband for our anniversary. This year, not all of the memories are pretty ones. But for the first time I can say that we have overcome something extremely difficult together and our marriage is better, stronger, and richer because of it. It has been affirmed to me just how well-matched we are, in a way only providence can create, and just how blessed I am to have Eric for a husband. I am more thankful than ever and more convinced than ever of the importance of having God at the center of our relationship. We are imperfect on our own, and I discovered I fail pretty miserably when I try to take a life test by myself. I need God's guidance in everything I do. I discovered it was much easier to take a test I felt totally unprepared for when I asked God to come and take it for me. Imagine that. :)
Is there really such a thing as a seven year curse? I am not a superstitious person, so I'm just going to throw out there that this is probably just one big coincidence.
Then again...God really really likes to use the number seven for things.
Haha! ;)
So today I want to wish my husband a very Happy 7th Anniversary (yesterday!) Whew, we made it! I can't wait for many more years to come with you!!
And for those still waiting for that seven year anniversary. Godspeed, my friends. Godspeed. ;)

SA equities: Momentum continues to be crushed
The markets have definitely changed. The low volatility, easy monetary policy and search for yield proved to be a boon for momentum stocks. Going long high momentum and short low momentum stocks had almost become a staple trade for many. Momentum, however, has been crushed in 2016 and in turn that trade has now reversed.
In South Africa the resurgence in value stocks started with the strong run up in resource stocks, however, it would be wrong to assume that the rise in value (and fall in momentum) is only due to resource stocks. In our value portfolios the bulk of our allocation was actually within the industrial sector and we, surprisingly, held few resource counters. This view is backed up by the recent article in Moneyweb; Value vs growth – are we at an inflection point? . Cannon Asset Managers' Super Dogs portfolio has no resources and yet managed to be up 8% YTD against a FINDI Index which is down c.7%.
Where I disagree with the article is whether we actually are at an inflection point. No. We're way past that point. The value strategy has started to work again (at least in South Africa) and has been outperforming the market for the past 12 months at least. The stocks that banked you outperformance in the past with their low volatility, high momentum characteristics are just not cutting it anymore.
So where to from here? My view is that value continues to outperform, probably at a lower rate as more and more investors get hurt by a tilt towards a high momentum strategy and start switching to value.
Momentum strategies do not like volatility. Value strategies on the other hand love volatility. And volatility is on the rise.
So to are short-term rates (although who knows for certain these days) and historically value strategies have outperformed the market when short-term rates rise.
Our third reason for favouring a continued run in value stocks is a model we have put together which attempts to estimate the return of a high momentum strategy vs. a high value strategy over the next 3 months. It's strongly negative, indicating outperformance by a high value strategy over a high momentum strategy.
Although every effort is made to ensure accuracy in the data and analysis presented on this site, this cannot be guaranteed. Nothing on this site constitutes investment advice, nor should it be taken as such. And obviously, past results do not guarantee future performance.

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
In this electrifying follow-up to Delirium, Lena is on a dangerous course that takes her through the unregulated Wilds and into the heart of a growing resistance movement. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
It was definitely too long between reading Delirium and starting Pandemonium. I hardly remembered Delirium and the dual timeline of Pandemonium did not really help refresh my memory since I was confused for the first fifty pages.
Once I got used to the two timelines, I did like the book. Liked, didn't love. I liked Delirium quite a bit, but I felt like Pandemonium was kind of Hunger Games lite. It also has a lot of similarities to Matched, but I think both The Hunger Games and Matched ended up being more successful series in terms of the world building.
Pandemonium definitely has its dark moments, but I feel like the story doesn't go deep enough. We're finally out of Portland and seeing the rest of the world, but it feels like just skimming the surface. I hope Requiem does more in this arena.
Have you read this series? What did you think?
