Recipes can be used for many things.
Obviously, knowing the items make up a particular dish is important for every restaurant. More importantly though is understanding how much stock is used when a Recipe is made. In inventory, users can build Recipes and connect them to menu items on their point of sale. Whenever the menu item is purchased, magic happens in Inventory, and the amounts assigned to the items used in the recipe are depleted while sold quantities included in refunds will be ignored.
To get to the Recipe page, users will choose the Recipe subtab under the Inventory Setup tab in the side navigation panel.
Creating a new Recipe
The Recipe Setup page will display all of the Recipes that have previously been set up by your company. To create a new Recipe, click Add.
The Add Recipe window will appear. Here you will fill out the details regarding your Recipe.
Each field will correspond to a different part of the Recipe you are creating.
A - The name of the Recipe you are creating.
B - How much the Recipe is making. For example, a recipe for cookies may make 25 cookies, while the recipe for a cheeseburger will only make 1 cheeseburger.
C - The batch unit for the Recipe. This works with the quantity. So if the quantity is 25 and the unit is a case, your Recipe will create 25 cases.
D - The category the Recipe falls under.
After filling out all of the fields, select Ok.
After selecting Ok, you'll be brought to a page displaying the details and items used in your Recipe. Since this is a new Recipe, you won't see any items listed. The top of this page will have fields where you can edit the initial details you set up for the Recipe.
To begin adding items to the Recipe, click Add Item.
This will open a menu where you can select each item that will be used in the Recipe. Once you have chosen your items, select OK.
This will bring you back to the Recipe Details page and the items that you've added will be listed.
The Unit Column is where you will select the Unit of Measure the item is being added to the Recipe with. The units available will include the following:
- All of the preset units that came with the product.
- Any custom units that were previously created.
So selecting pound would mean that you are adding a pound of that item to the Recipe.
Once you have chosen the unit, you will select the quantity of the item that is being used in the Recipe. The quantity will work with the unit you have selected. For example, if the unit is set to pound and the quantity is set to five, you are using five pounds of that item in your Recipe. The quantity can be a negative value for moments when a customer might request a substitution of or removal of an ingredient in the recipe.
When building a Recipe, you will be required to set a destination for each item added to the Recipe. Items used in the Recipe will be depleted based on the destination they are assigned. Most items will use "all" as their destination, however, an item like "carry out bag" may be given a "drive through" destination. This is because the carryout bag item will only be used or "depleted" when the dish is ordered from the drive-through.
Recipes ingredients can be assigned to one or multiple destinations at a time.
Items can be removed from the Recipe by clicking the trash can icon.
Linking Recipes to POS items
The next page that appears will display the items that are currently being used in the Recipe. You will click the Link button.
A window will appear where you will choose the POS items that you would like to link to the recipe. All the POS items used by your organization will appear in this modal if you are an admin user. Once you've chosen the items, click Add.
The items you selected will appear in the dialogue box underneath Add. You can remove items from this field by clicking the x to the right of the item name.
To complete your item selection, click Next. Another window will appear where you can specify the Sales Usage Qty that is tied to the POS item.
Clicking on the
After setting the Sales Usage Qty, click Done.
On the home page, you can view if a recipe has been linked by using the filter or linked recipe column.
If you would like to export a list of recipes that are not assigned to a sales item, select Export.
Assigning Recipes
After building your recipes, they will be assigned to the stores that make up your hierarchy. To do so, click the Assign button at the top right-hand corner of the page.
The next page will display the recipes that have been built. You can search for different recipes by using the filter bar. From here, choose the recipes you would like to add and click Next.
The next page is where you will select the stores you would like to assign the recipes to. Clicking the top-level checkbox for a group will select all of the stores beneath it. You can also select stores individually. The recipes that you are adding will be listed on the left side of the page.
Once you are finished choosing the stores, click Done.
Recipe On Hand Cost
If you are counting a recipe as though it were an item, at the top of the edit recipe page will be a recipe on hand tracking check box.
If this is selected, the recipe will carry an on-hand value, as though it were an Inventory item. This on-hand value will be depleted, appear in both the variance report and the on-hand export.
If this is not checked and the recipe is counted, then each item that makes up the recipe will be affected by the count variable chosen. However, this value will not be a 1 to 1 (Just because you count 1 gallon of pizza sauce, that does not mean that you have 1 gallon of tomatoes.) Instead, the variable will be worked into the on-hand values for those items. For example, say that a restaurant has a recipe for a quart of salsa that is 12oz of tomato, 4oz of onion, and 1oz of jalapeno. When the store counts 2.5 quarts of salsa we will increase the on-hand for tomato by 30oz, onion by 10oz, and jalapeno by 2.5oz.

Democrat Governor Kate Brown Hides Information From The Public While Touting Transparency
Wilsonville, OR– Democrat governor Kate Brown is taking even more heat this week for her administration's alarming lack of transparency. A new report by The Oregonian reveals that Brown attempted to redact and conceal "contradictions in Brown's reasoning for firing the appointees." Her office attempted to delete key information before responding to a records request by the paper. The information would have remained a secret if another department had not released the same information without Brown's redactions:
"If it were up to Gov. Kate Brown, you wouldn't know that her former advisor, Richard Whitman, is 'very intelligent and well-spoken and very well-versed in Oregon environmental and natural resources policy.'"
You wouldn't know that a recruitment firm, which Oregon paid $65,000 to find the department's next leader, 'strongly recommended' Whitman. Or that the recruiters thought the other finalist, Leanne Tippett Mosby, should be strongly considered but would need orientation before starting.
Brown's office deleted the opinions offered by the state's recruiters before releasing records about the search process requested by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
The information would've remained a state secret -- except the state Department of Environmental Quality already released the same records to the newsroom without redactions, offering a complete picture of what Brown tried to shield from public view…
Records previously obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive have revealed contradictions in Brown's reasoning for firing the appointees. While the governor has repeatedly said she supports Whitman, she has also said she was unhappy with the almost year-long search that netted him. Emails have shown that Brown tried to prevent Whitman's hiring, threatening to pick the next environmental quality leader herself.
The contradictions have cast a shadow over the new director at a time when he's supposed to be leading major change at the agency in charge of protecting Oregon's air and water.
Brown's redactions are particularly remarkable since they were made by a governor for whom transparency has been a hallmark since she replaced Gov. John Kitzhaber in 2015."
"Even after coming to office promising increased transparency in the wake of disgraced Democrat Ex-Governor John Kitzhaber's scandalous resignation, Kate Brown continues her disturbing and duplicitous attempts to shield information that the people of Oregon have a right to," noted Chair Currier. "It is clear that Brown is all talk and no action when it comes to delivering transparency. Our state deserves better."
The Oregon Republican Party is the state's arm of the Republican National Committee. It's Chairman and officers are dedicated to preserving and advancing Republican principles within the state of Oregon and to improving the lives and livelihoods of Oregon's working families through economic freedom and equal protection under the law.

What is chemsex?
ChemSex is a word invented on geo-sexual networking apps by gay men (and adopted by the gay men's health sector) that defines a syndemic of specific behaviours associated with specific recreational drugs, and is particular to a specific, high risk population.
Though the media spotlight may have distorted the term to define the use of any drugs in sexual contexts by any population, ChemSex actually refers to the use of any combination of drugs that includes crystal methamphetamine, mephedrone and/or GHB/GBL by Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) before or during sex.
It is less of a traditional sex and drug issue; instead it's related to the use of changing technologies, easy availability of certain recreational drugs via these technologies, and is adopted by a small, (international) but very sexually active group of men who are far more likely to contract HIV through this behaviour than their non-MSM counterparts (due to high prevalence within that population).
ChemSex is also often associated with some cultural idiosyncrasies unique to gay cultures that may complicate sex for gay men. It is important that the health sector remains vigilant in providing care for anyone using drugs for sex, but also that a particular focus is given to gay and bisexual men using these drugs in this context as this represents a particular challenge to public health and communities, and some redesigning of the way in which care is delivered.
Drugs associated with ChemSex and their effects
Although drugs and alcohol have often been used in sexual contexts throughout history, crystal methamphetamine, mephedrone and GHB/GBL provide a particular sexually-disinhibiting "high", which represents a different public health concern than that associated with other drugs more commonly used in the past.
These three drugs have unfortunately become very common and readily available within gay "scenes" over the last decade, and their use has been accompanied by higher-risk sexual activity than has ever been observed or associated with any other kind of drug use. Users of these drugs can feel invulnerable to harm, supremely confident, dismissive of consequences, sexually adventurous, experience a heightened sense of pleasure, and can possess a stamina and endurance that may keep them awake for many days. When used in sexual contexts, this can translate into a reduced concern for safer sex practices and contact with a higher number of partners during a short, concentrated period of time. Unwanted side effects while under the influence can include aggression, paranoia, hallucinations/perceptions of persecution, overdose and more.
The role of geo-sexual networking Apps (eg, Grindr) in the rise of ChemSex
Geo-sexual networking apps have served a beneficial function in gay men's lives in some ways, though there have also been some negative consequences. Sex for gay men is often associated with risk and danger; this is a consequence of an HIV epidemic that (in the UK) has particularly affected gay men. Many other gay men struggle with sex and intimacy having grown up struggling with a different sexual identity, cultural (or internalised) homophobia or a desire to fit in and avoid rejection.
Apps were adopted very quickly by gay communities as a way to date and seek sex; yet communicating one's sexual and emotional needs via the use of abbreviations, word counts and photo-shopped avatars can be very challenging for many people, and can often lead to unenjoyable sexual encounters. "Chems" have become a tool used by many to negotiate or overcome these challenges and are often commonly available via these technologies in some big cities that host large gay communities.
ChemSex prevalence
Global prevalence of ChemSex is not known, as it is a relatively new syndemic for researchers – many still struggle to define ChemSex, let alone quantify it. Anecdotal reports of varying concern have emerged from gay community organisations and sexual health services in the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Asia and Europe. The UK, and in particular London, has had the most robust response to the trends, with 56 Dean Street becoming a global model for ChemSex support. There are enough reports and emerging data to prioritise ChemSex as a public health concern and to develop effective responses, and to do so, quickly, sensitively, and without moral judgments, even if robust evidence is lacking.
ChemSex data from 56 Dean Street (a sexual health & HIV clinic in London, part of the Chelsea & Westminster hospital NHS foundation Trust.)
Approximately 3,000 gay men accessing 56 Dean Street services each month are using Chems (crystal methamphetamine, mephedrone and GHB/GBL). 56 Dean Street diagnose between 20 and 30 gay men who are regular Chem users with HIV each month. They also prevent between 200 and 300 gay men from potentially contracting HIV from ChemSex situations each month, by prescribing PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medicine which (if taken within 3 days of the sexual risk), will prevent the infection taking hold.
More ChemSex-specific data from 56 Dean Street here.
Reducing the harmful effects of ChemSex
Clinicians in GUM/HIV services need to be alert to certain risks, and may want to ask the following questions;
Most of 56 Dean Street's ChemSex patients do not come to the clinic seeking support for a drug problem or addiction issues; instead they are identifying issues around seeking sex and relationships, struggling with online and App use behaviours, issues around HIV fear and stigma, struggling in their pursuit of connection and community, and many other gay cultural idiosyncrasies that impact their sex and romantic lives.
The best way to reduce the harms of ChemSex, is to develop a robust understanding of what we want our sex and romantic lives to be like, to set some goals and boundaries around that, and having the awareness and communication skills to pursue these goals/protect those boundaries. if we all enjoyed good sexual wellbeing, born of a cultural dialogue about the role sex and intimacy plays in our lives, then ChemSex related harms would be better avoided. It is important that sexual health clinics and gay community organisations provide services that go beyond simple testing and prescribing of medicine, which also support our patients and communities to develop good sexual and general wellbeing, including adapting to cultural changes that many may be struggling to adapt to.
Increasing availability/use of sexually-disinhibiting drugs[1], by a population of people that represent high HIV prevalence[+2], making use of technologies that facilitate easy pursuit of sexual partners[+3]... does indeed equal a public health concern that deserves a non-alarmist, but proportionate response. It is also a concern that deserves our compassion for a vulnerable group of people that are struggling with cultural changes associated with sex and relationships, and will certainly not benefit from further stigma or judgment, despite the sensationalist potential of these behaviours.

As much as I hate to face it, school will start very soon, which means my days of leisurely cups of hot tea and late breakfasts are over.
This summer I've been trying to cut back on the amount of gluten and dairy I eat. I have had numerous conversations with my doctor, and although I'm not allergic to either one, the inflammatory reaction caused by both of those types of foods can make life unpleasant. Some of the aches and pains I contribute to getting old, could be mild reactions to gluten and dairy.
Now I will tell you right up front, I won't give either up entirely. There are just some things that need gluten and a healthy dose of cheese (macaroni and cheese, anyone?). But if they aren't necessary to the quality of the meal, I am trying to avoid them.
So I've been experimenting with some gluten and dairy free products. The one I tried on this particular morning was Udi's Gluten Free Bagels. I toasted one and then put a little dairy free cream cheese on it. Then I put thin slices of cucumber, capers and sliced smoked salmon on it.
Was this as good as a deli bagel with lox and cream cheese? No. Was it pretty good and slightly better for me? Yes. I think this will become part of my weekday breakfast rotation.
It beats the heck out of almond milk and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. :)

An ice breaker ship creates wide passages through ice sheets that form around harbors during winter to allow uninterrupted activity. Lakes, deltas, bays, and inlets in Scandinavia, around Siberia, and on the Great Lakes of North America are susceptible to thick ice that reaches out from land into the body of water. This would prevent ships importing and exporting goods or carrying tourists from accessing seaboard cities for several months if the ice wasn't broken up.
An ice breaker ship is equipped with strong propellers, a steel body, forceful engines, and sensitive navigation tools. Its main duty is to crushes ice into small enough chunks that they will melt, bob out to sea, or at least not pose such a threat to smaller ships. Of course, the exterior front of the ship, the hull, must be resilient in sub-freezing temperatures without deforming or weakening. This is the area that reaches the stubborn ice first, so it is carefully engineered and reinforced.
Modern ice breakers have a stepped and sloped hull designed to help the ship rise up on top of an ice block. Once sitting partially out of the water, it smashes through vertically, using the power of gravity on its enormous mass. The propellers also help to push the front of the ship downward to crush the ice, churning large hunks beneath the water. Increasingly, icebreakers are used in scientific research expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, rather than merely to keep trade routes operational.
The engines of an ice breaker must be powerful enough to run the giant propellers at the rear and front of the ship that allow it to navigate with precision and confidence. These diesel engines are housed within an incredibly sturdy steel frame that won't collapse or rupture. Even a single hole would not sink the entire ship. In some instances, the vessel gets its power from a nuclear source, so as not to carry so much flammable fuel onboard.
There is more to ice breaking than ramming ice. The ice breaker must navigate the ocean without getting stuck, while blazing a trail that other ships can use. The ice, initially, doesn't have much place to go, so sometimes the nuclear reactor on the ship heats water to melt the ice during the first run. In later runs, weeks apart, the ice will drift out to open water and melt on its own.

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
- Connects to the internet without permission
Waleisa is an adware application that displays commercial offers. The commercial pop-ups appear on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers. Waleisa installs extensions to these browsers and as a result you are displayed a variety of pop-ups each time you access a popular online shopping website (bestbuy.com, ebay.com, amazon.com etc.). It is necessary to remove Waleisa from your computer if you want to avoid potential security threats. Adware programs can be easily exploited in online marketing scams and malware distribution schemes, so the sooner you terminate Waleisa the better.
The likes of Waleisa are rather tricky applications, because at first glance they look like legitimate programs, especially as they have homepages. Waleisa's homepage can be accessed at waleisa.com. Unfortunately, no direct link for the application is available there, and according to our security researchers, Waleisa always gets distributed bundled with third party downloaders and installers. It means that you need to be careful whenever you are about to install a new freeware application, because you could be installing a number of potentially unwanted and even harmful applications.
That is not to say that Waleisa is a dangerous computer virus. It is merely an adware application that most of the time users install onto their computers themselves. Waleisa is developed by SuperWeb LLC, and as such it belongs to an ever-growing family of adware applications. It is practically identical to Fortunitas and Surftatic adware programs.
At first it may seem that Waleisa has been developed to provide you with useful shopping information. The application collects data on your cyber likes and preferences and later on it tailors commercial pop-ups especially for you. However, the main reason why Waleisa and similar adware applications are created is money.
Adware applications generate various types of advertisements in attempt to make computer users click them. With every single click you help generate financial revenue to the people behind Waleisa. As long as the application is not exploited by malevolent third party it is not much of a big deal, but you should take any potential security risks into account.
If Waleisa can be exploited to distribute corrupted content, you need to remove Waleisa immediately. Also, since adware apps are distributed bundled with other applications, it is necessary to scan your computer SpyHunter free scanner to determine what other unwanted programs you have installed on the PC.
Remove all the potential threats as soon as possible and then do take your time and invest in a licensed antimalware tool that will help you protect your system from harm.

Coal Tar Pitch Roofing Handbook - 1896 - Pages 26 and 27
THE photograph on the following page shows the "Sawtooth" construction on a mill erected in 1901 having a pitch of 5 ½ inches to the foot.
Where the pitch of such a roof does not exceed 4 ½ inches to the foot, follow the Barrett Specification using Slag.
At over 4 ½ inches keep the pitch of the roof down to the lowest point consistent with the area of skylight required and consult an experienced roof contractor, as the Specification must necessarily vary with the pitch of the roof.
Good results can be shown by experienced contractors at 12 inches to the foot (45 degrees) but as you increase the pitch, you increase the cost per square foot.

Genius Playlists on the iPad
Genius selects songs from your iPad music library that go great together. To use it, tap the Genius button, and your iPad generates a Genius playlist of 25 songs that it picked because it thinks they go well with the song that's playing.
If you tap the Genius button on the main screen (see the figure) and no song is currently playing, an alphabetical list of songs appears, and you need to select a song before the Genius playlist can be generated.
When you create a Genius playlist, you find an item called Genius in your library list; tap it and you see the 25 songs that Genius selected. You see three buttons in the upper-right corner of the list:
New: Select a different song to use as the basis for a Genius playlist.
Refresh: See a list of 25 songs that "go great with" the song you're listening to (or the song you selected).
Save: Save this Genius playlist so that you can listen to it whenever you like.
When you save a Genius playlist, it inherits the name of the song it's based upon and appears in your library with a Genius icon that looks like the Genius button. And the next time you sync your iPad, the Genius playlist magically appears in iTunes.
The less popular the song, artist, or genre, the more likely Genius will choke on it. When that happens, you see an alert that asks you to try again because this song doesn't have enough related songs to create a Genius playlist.
If you like the Genius feature, you can also create a new Genius playlist in iTunes and then sync it with your iPad.

There are so many days when I am already 10 minutes late for class, 30 minutes late for an appointment, or hours late to meet up friends for dinner. I'm out of the shower, my hair is still soaking wet, and I have NO idea what I'm going to wear. It's times like these that my 5 minute makeup routine comes into use. I think it's great for women to develop a quick and efficient way to apply their makeup for those days where every minute counts. You don't want to neglect putting on any makeup, but at the same time you don't want to feel SO rushed that you mess up (which sometimes leads to more time wasted!).
A few months ago, my friends were annoyed of how long I was taking to get ready. I told them that I would be ready in 5 minutes (obviously thinking 5 min in girl code means 15..or maybe 30?). Being the impatient friends that they are, I was put to the test. They told me they didn't believe that I could do my makeup in 5 minutes so they actually timed me! This is when my makeup in under 5 minutes routine developed. I ended up finishing right over four minutes. This made me realize how convenient and necessary it is to have a quick makeup regimen that still still gives the results as if you spent hours doing it. Here is MY 5 minute makeup routine:
CONCEALER-00:35 (35 seconds)
- Place under your eyes to cover up dark circles. I use my finger.
POWDER-01:20 (45 seconds)
- Use a big brush to apply over the entire face.
BRONZER-01:45 (25 seconds)
- Focus on the cheekbones.
EYE LINER- 03:00 (1 minute and 15 seconds)
- It's okay if this part takes you the longest. Mainly because if you mess up top liner, you have to remove it and it ends up taking more time. I usually make my liner thicker when doing makeup in five. Since I am not adding as many products to my face, I try to highlight the products I am using drastically.
MASCARA-04:00 (1 minute)
- I don't compromise time here either. If it takes me 15 extra seconds to make sure my lashes don't clump together, then so be it!
LIP GLOSS- 04:11 (10 seconds)
- I normally put lipstick with a bit of gloss over it, but in my quick routine, I changed it up and ended up discovering that I like the way gloss looks against my lips without applying lipstick first. It gives a more natural look.
Everyones routine should be different. With five minutes, it's important to focus more time on the features you want to highlight. The key isn't putting everything on quicker, but putting on the items that matter the most. So on a day where you have an hour to spend getting ready, you may put on some primer, lip stick, lip liner, blush, eye shadow, a highlighter, etc..but when you're in a rush, focus on the core items that really make a difference on your face. I challenge you guys to do your makeup in under 5 minutes without compromising the quality of the routine. You may discover a new look that you previously didn't know you could create. It's amazing what being on a time crunch can do to your skills!

What's apart of your 5 min makeup regimen?

|"Sodom by the Susquehanna"
Cover Art. © Paul Hair, 2017.
The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania published an article on January 16, 2000 titled, "Sodom by the Susquehanna – Current crop of scandalous exploits recalls Legislature's corruption troubles of 1970s."
Harrisburg is the Pennsylvania state capital, hence the Legislature is in it. Therefore, the article title is referring to Harrisburg as Sodom. Sodom, of course, is the evil city in the Bible which God destroys with fire and brimstone from heaven. (See Genesis 19 for the story of the destruction of Sodom. And read a few chapters before that for more of the story of it and the equally evil city of Gomorrah.)
And the "Susquehanna" in the article title refers to the Susquehanna River, which directly borders the Pennsylvania capital city.
My story is set in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The plot centers on a group of terrorists based in the city who have taken over it, and who are threatening the entire nation from it. So the old article title was a perfect fit for the story.
Again, go read the first chapter of "Sodom by the Susquehanna" if you haven't already done so. And please also subscribe to Liberate Liberty. You'll receive an alert in your email inbox whenever I publish anything new—including the next chapter of this new story.

I drove more than 100km today! It was worth it. Goddaughters happily dropped off at school with a kiss on the forehead, and then driving on the N1 towards a beautifully lit mountain. It rained last night. The soil smelled fresh and rich this morning, and waterfalls adorned Hoerikwaggo. I passed cattle, goats and sheep, large patches of open land, tightly packed houses, large factories and shopping malls. It is hard not to be struck by the grandeur of this city when driving through so much of it in one day.
I've shared this video before, but it bears repeating. The aesthetic is so wonderfully reflective of South African material culture. I happen to be a particularly big fan of the singer, who I know to be incredibly kind. Enjoy it as you head into the weekend.

A look inside my home office and the decor decisions I made, including all product sources.
My cubicle at work has some homey touches and pictures from friends' weddings, showers, etc. but there's only so much you can do with corporate carpets and fluorescent lighting! I get to work from home every so often and had been doing 99% of my blog writing and editing in my bedroom so I knew I wanted a dedicated space (other than my kitchen) in which to exercise my creativity and work comfortably. This room is my favorite in the house as of now because it's so bright. Thanks to two big windows, it room gets a lot of natural light with the most beautiful golden wash of light in the morning. It also houses most of my clothes since it happens to have the largest closet in the house (#olderhomeproblems). I haven't quite decided on storage solutions and the closet layout yet, so you won't see pictures of it but I'll be sure to share once I do. This room came together rather quickly as I already had most of the key pieces such as my desk and chair, and shelving when I moved. The gallery wall above my desk was the most time-consuming aspect because I had to find the fabric I wanted, spray-paint the frames gold, and hang everything just right. Measure twice, cut once really rang true during that part of the process. I'll share a how-to on creating the gallery wall soon but for now, here's my home office tour.
I was a little worried about clashing and tackiness in this room (hello, cow-print chair!) because I didn't set a specific color palette or theme for it. I just had ideas of the feel I wanted and added pieces I liked as I found them. The giant pink rug is a departure from the "neutral foundation" I've tried to set in the rest of my home. Large pieces of furniture and things like curtains and rugs are generally neutral in every other room (for now) but I wanted a big pop of color somewhere and the home office seemed like the place to do it. It worked out perfectly and really pulled the entire room together almost instantly. I also caught a really good sale on it through Joss & Main. To know me is to know I love bargains.
Since this is my first home and a bachelorette pad of sorts, I haven't shied away from feminine touches but I don't feel that my overall decor just screams girly-girl. For this reason, I didn't mind going a little overboard in this room. I let my freak flag fly, so to speak. 🙂 Glam metallic accents, feminine hatboxes, and sorority paraphernalia abound! I also placed a lot of the personal pieces that make a house more of a home in this room–things like a picture of my mom, my first gele (Nigerian head-tie), and a stretched canvas I painted myself. Even though a home's decor is an ever-evolving thing and I know I'll add or take away pieces here and there, I'm quite pleased with the current result. Start scrolling for all the photos and details of where I sourced each piece!
Picture Frames (I painted them gold) | Business Cards | Desk Plant | Mug (Ross find), similar | Candle | Candle Pedestal (sold out), similar | Rug | Desk Chair (clearance find), similar | Furry Fabric | Desk | Bookcases | Agate Bookends (clearance find), similar | Storage Bench (clearance find), similar | Throw Pillow | Curtains (clearance find), similar | Curtain Rods (I painted them gold) | Dress (sold out), similar
Let me know below if you have questions about any of the pieces or something you want to see me write about next. Today is my Friday and I plan on doing a lot around the house this weekend to the sounds of Jidenna's The Chief. Let me know what you're listening to lately and if you'll be doing any house hunting over the weekend, check out the tips in this post. Thanks for reading!

The short films are of me in my summer Clarks sandals at Willesden Junction station and on the Bakerloo train last week.
I am having a lot of fun with my new iPhone 4 since I upgraded recently. I had the second generation of iPhone that had with a limited focus, no ability to take video and limited zoom. But I was still impressed with the basic phone and simply made the poor photo quality a feature by using the Hipstamatic photo app which create fantastic retro type photos.
I didn't expect the new iPhone to have a good camera either. I have the phone mainly because I need access to internet and email when I travel. But I have been surprised by the new features and I have been looking at lots of camera apps but my favourite at the moment is 8mm video camera which creates retro 8mm type films.
Now I don't have to carry my Samsung camera anymore which means a little bit more room in the Brompton pannier.

With two
, our family has been at this
thing for about a year now. Not constantly for a year, but as often as we felt necessary for the sake of due diligence. Now that we find ourselves mouthing the words along with the information-session speaker, we realize perhaps it's time to call a halt.
Colleges vary as to their strong points, but certain themes and buzzwords are widespread. We have listened to a lot of nice, well-spoken, enthusiastic folks on the topic of the institution they represent and how one might successfully apply. Here are some points that are pretty much universal:
1 "We take a holistic view of your application." This means that, although the average SAT score for our class of 2013 was Y and the average grade point average was X, some successful applicants ranked above and some below those numbers. Extracurriculars, life circumstances and the college essay are also considered.
This seems meant to be reassuring, but there is often an element of blurring parameters. Receiving scads of applications doesn't hurt the college's reputation, or—at up to $70 bucks a pop—its budget. So "reach applicants," apply away!
2. "Please proofread your application carefully." The commonly cited example is the essayist who writes "And that is why I would love to go to [insert name of a rival institution here]." Done, for example, when a student cuts-and-pastes his essay from his Yale application to his Penn application. Students must do that very often, because that example was given almost everywhere we went.
3. "We will be looking to see whether you took the most rigorous courses available at your high school." Honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate courses—if your school's got 'em, you'd better be taking as many as you can. Admissions officials go on to say they are often asked, "'Which is better—an A in a college prep course or a B in an AP course?' The answer, they always say, is "'An A in an AP course.'" Followed by hollow laughter from the students and parents in the audience.
4. "When looking at extracurriculars, we are looking not just for participation, but for leadership." That's while you're getting all A's in your AP courses, naturally.
5. "The essay is the one place where you can really make a difference in your application!" Just about every college application requires an answer to an essay question, and the more selective colleges develop supplements with their own, additional essay questions. The advice here? The essay should "tell us who you are." It should not recap information that is found elsewhere on the application. It should not be too long because the admissions officer has thousands of these things to read. A funny essay is fine, but if you're not funny, don't try to be. It can be on whatever you want! Just sum yourself up in an interesting way in a minimum of 250 words! (Can you imagine, as an adult, being asked to do this for a job application?)
6. "A large percentage of our freshman class received financial aid this year." Sometimes the figure cited is up to three-quarters, and that is a lovely carrot to dangle before the parents in the audience. What they don't specify is how many people received substantial aid and how many received just a few hundred dollars. The message: Don't hesitate to apply just because our yearly cost is more than the combined worth of your family's cars. Roll the dice! You have nothing to lose but the application fee.
7. "We will take the highest standardized test results you achieve." Today's high school student has been subjected to more tests than the average lab rat. They can take practice SATs starting in7th grade, and can take the SATs numerous times. Most (not yet all) colleges will agree to consider only the highest SAT results you get. Which is great! Except the kids feel obligated to keep reviewing for and taking more tests.
Or you may choose instead to take the ACT placement test multiple times. That's in addition, of course, to the AP exams (only scores of 3 and above, out of a possible 5, will be considered), and the SAT II exams (which focus on specific subjects and are required for some colleges). And we wonder why high school kids get stressed out?
As for me, quite a few years removed from high school, I have the luxury of taking the long view. It's clear that there are many, many fine colleges out there. Academic offerings are well thought out and much more sophisticated than in my day; opportunities for internships and global study abound.
There's more than one place where my kids can get a great education and be happy. We're not looking for a needle in a haystack here. And, proud mama that I am, I actually think that any school would be lucky to have my kids in its student body.
Nonetheless, I fully expect to see a wide range of emotions in this house--elation, disappointment, indecision--as acceptances and rejections come in next spring. But, God willing, there'll be one source of joy no one can take away from us: We'll never have to go on a college visit again.

Growing up in a family of Michigan football fans in Grain Valley, Missouri, Stephen Loszewski had a wish that he would someday play football for the Wolverines.
His leukemia diagnosis in the spring of 2011, during Stephen's freshman year of high school, did more than put his wish on hold -- it changed his reality overnight.
Leukemia took away high school football and the normal social life of a teenager and replaced it with chemotherapy, nausea and the social isolation of hospital rooms (though his friends and teammates stayed close). He has been in remission since his sophomore year, but even though he was able to stay in the game he loves by helping his father coach youth football, a return to the playing field was ruled out.
So when it came time for Stephen, now 18, to choose his wish, he sought the chance to be treated like the Michigan football recruit he could never otherwise be.
"Instead of just asking, 'Hey, could I get some really good tickets to a Michigan game,' I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that I had," Stephen said. "I figured maybe I could get them to pretend to recruit me somehow."
What Michigan gave him was more than he had asked for. Way more.
Stephen was tired and not feeling like answering questions from what he thought was a local TV news crew in the family living room. But he started to suspect something was up when his mother handed him a letter from Michigan coach Brady Hoke.
"Shortly after that, someone knocked at my door saying they were looking for me. That's when the dots really started to come together," Stephen said. "It turned out to be Jake Long -- one of my all-time idols as a Michigan player -- and he was at my house with letters from every single one of the Michigan coaches."
A few weeks later, the family -- Stephen, his parents Greg and Kristi Loszewski, and his brothers Devin, 16, and Logan, 14 -- arrived at the Ann Arbor campus, where it was greeted by Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner and recruiting coordinator Chris Singletary.
Stephen's recruiting visit began the next morning with a meeting with Hoke. "Everything about how he runs the team and his strategy is 100 percent Michigan football, so I idolize him," Stephen said.
What followed were activities any Michigan recruit might experience: meetings with assistant coaches, a tour of the school's impressive collection of memorabilia and visits to the indoor practice field and weight room. There was a video session in which Stephen, a defensive end before his diagnosis, was shown what his responsibilities would be if he played for the Wolverines.
Then Gardner handed Stephen his phone. On the line was actor Mark Harmon, the star of one of Stephen's favorite TV shows, "NCIS."
"Mark is a Michigan man by birth and well-known on campus, so Devin, who had his number, did me a favor and called him," Stephen said. "And sure enough I had a phone conversation with Mark Harmon while standing in Schembechler Hall.
"Up until that point I had managed to collect myself. I was back to shaking in my boots, not knowing what to do with the energy."
(A few days later, one of the NCIS hats that Harmon wears during the show arrived at Stephen's house.)
More meetings followed, including one-on-one sessions with Hoke and athletic director David Brandon, before Stephen got what he thought would be the icing on the cake -- a visit to The Big House, 109,901-seat Michigan Stadium.
"To my surprise, they led me into the locker room and the entire Michigan football team for 2014 was waiting for me with my own helmet, a set of wide receiver gloves and my own jersey that had my last name on the back and my number in high school -- 57," Stephen said. "I almost broke my glasses putting my helmet on without even thinking."
Then came a truly memorable moment you can't buy anywhere: Stephen led the team out of the tunnel onto the turf of The Big House and tapped the "Go Blue" banner as cheerleaders and marching band members sang and played "Hail to the Victors."
"When you aspire to be a Michigan football player, that is what you dream of," Stephen said. "At that point I could have been done. Everything I could imagine had been done 100-fold."
"To watch him run out of the tunnel with that team -- you couldn't put words on it," Kristi Loszewski said. "All you could do was cry. It was like that hole that was made there in his heart three years ago ... they filled that hole for him."
Stephen met Michigan Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard, caught a couple of touchdown passes from Gardner and was asked to "break the team down" with a quick speech at midfield.
Stephen hopes to return to Ann Arbor as a transfer from Metropolitan Community College-Kansas City. He graduated from high school last month and is hoping to hear soon that he has been given a clean bill of health.
"[The wish] actually helped my mood a lot," he said. "In the years leading up to that moment had been a lot of news that wasn't in my favor: You're too sick to do this, you can't do this because it will affect your immune system, you can't play football because you have a portacath, we can't take the portacath out -- a lot of couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't.
"To suddenly be told, yes, you can have what you want after three years of a lot of no ... I feel like finally, OK, things are looking up."

Hello! Today I have a pretty Valentine's glitter topper to show you. I love a glitter topper – so easy to throw on over a plain polish to transform your nails. Instant nail art without the faff! So without further ado, here is Loved Up from Next.
Polishes used:
Nails Inc Optic Glow (baby pink crème)
Next Loved Up (pink, red and white glitter with white hearts)
INM Out The Door (topcoat)
I chose Optic Glow as the base because I wanted pink nails! But in hindsight it wasn't the best colour to show off the topper as it so closely matches the pink glitters. I think a dove grey, pale blue or maybe even a pastel yellow would have worked better. You can just make them out though.
My poor hands have been battered by the cold weather!
All photos show two coats of Optic Glow (needs three if wearing alone) plus a single coat of Loved Up. I did have to dab the glitters into place. Plenty on glitter came out on the brush, and it was easy (too easy sometimes!) to get the hearts. The hearts did stick up a teeny bit on my super curvy nails, and even after two coats of topcoat they weren't completely smooth. Near enough though.
Loved Up is available from Next stores (but not on their website), priced £4 for 14ml. All Next polishes are included in a (permanent?) 3 for 2 offer.
See you soon!

Hey everyone!
I've been a bit MIA recently with my crafting, but have recently had an idea. I'd love to make a nuno felted blanket/throw to cuddle up under on the couch at night now that we are moving into winter (I'm in Australia). I think it would feel just divine!! I did a bit of a search here on craftster to see if anyone else had done something like this, but was surprised to find that there was really nothing. The closest thing I found was this post on turkish rug felting (https://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=254074.0) by ptarmic wumpus.
Just doing a shout out to see if anyone has actually done this and if they have any advice. I've done nuno felting before, but just trying to anticipate any problems before I begin!! My main concern is of felting something of that size - it may take a little practising first!

Review: Blood Oath (A Mystic Wolves Novella #3) by Belinda Boring
Format: Kindle Edition
File Size: 207 KB
Publisher: Moonstruck Media (November 18, 2011)
Blurb: Someone is trying to send a deadly message to Mason, arranging the deaths of those he loves and it puts the entire pack and Alpha on high alert. Plans are made but when the enemy strikes another painful blow by entering into the heart of pack property and kidnapping Darcy, Mason declares war. There's nothing he won't do to keep his future mate and pack safe.
Darcy understands the primal instincts driving her beloved Mason's commands. With the help of those he sets as protectors, she learns about herself and the things she'll need to help support her Alpha and pack. When events turn dire however, one truth offers her strength – once given, a blood oath is unbreakable … even if it means risking it all.
My review: This is the third novella in this paranormal series and the momentum has not slowed down. Belinda Boring steadily keeps my interest by crafting intriguing characters, placing them in exciting conflicts, while never forgetting to add touching romance and plenty of heart.
Mason and Darcy grow closer and she marvels at the strength he exudes as leader of the pack forced to deal with the murders of people close to him. I relish the way Darcy thinks-- about others, about herself, and especially about Mason. Her scenes with Mason are always electrical, emotional and always manage to touch my heart in some way. This is a couple which can ignite a room with simply a look at the other or a gentle touch. Darcy continues to grow and mature, both as a woman and as a wolf, while understanding her role and the role of her future mate.
I was glad to see Devlin, the cool and confidant vampire enforcer return, and as an added bonus I enjoyed his action scenes. Conflict strikes Mason with a capital "C" when Darcy is kidnapped right after a lovely send-off for his sister. The author's description of this scene in particular was gorgeous as witch Vivien oversees Jasminebeing laid to rest in a traditional ritual. We are also privy to some backstory into the friendship between Darcy and Jasmine which deepened their relationship for me. A poignant scene between them as Darcy bids a private goodbye was incredibly moving.
There was certainly more going on in this installment to keep my eyes dashing from page to page. More vampires are introduced and another storyline added complexity to the lives of the Mystic Wolves Alpha and soon to be mate, Darcy.
With the cliffhanger ending I find myself feeling rather like a rabid dog anxiously awaiting the next book. If you haven't picked up the Mystic Wolves series yet, now would be a great time. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and be enamored of these unforgettable people.
Rating: Loved it.
Favorite excerpt: "Suddenly, I was being transferred into a different set of arms--Daniel's. I turned to look toward Mason. He was shaking with power, running his fingers through his hair, his eyes practically blazing with the sign of his wolf. He was fighting instincts, the need to kill and maim, and I reached out to him through our connection.
I'm okay. I'm safe. I tried to infuse my words with all the love I had. I hated seeing him so riled up, his control hanging in the balance, but either my message never reached him or he was too far gone. I gestured to Daniel to lower me to the ground, thanking him and Devlin for being here before returning to sit on the edge of my bed to wait.
Mason finally calmed, his fists unclenching, but he still carried a hardened expression on his face--the Alpha ever present, the man who was my lover and mate off to the side."
Cover comment: The silhouette of the moon and wolf are symbolic icons for this series now. I like how the featured characters get their own covers.
Book source: From author for my totally honest review.

The UK government are warning that complex negotiations will be had following a decision to exit the European Union, so that the rights of UK citizens living in other EU countries can be
The House of Lords European Union committee are warning that negotiations may overrun the two years currently outlined, and European parliament and member states could forcefully relinquish any extension on the process. It has also been suggested that discussions of trade deals may take even longer, a proposed four to nine years, based on previous experiences.
However, despite the government insinuating that the referendum results will be set in stone, it has been raised that, if there was a change of government or similar circumstance, that a reverse decision could be instated.
A recent parliamentary report stated: "No firm prediction can be made as to how long the negotiations on withdrawal and a new relationship would take if the UK were to vote to leave the EU. It is clear, though, that they would take several years – trade deals between the EU and non-EU states have taken between four and nine years on average."
If the referendum result indicates a Brexit, the committee are voicing that it would be in everyone's interest to achieve a negotiated settlement and, as previously mentioned, this may entail an extension on time that is outlined in article 50 of the treaty on the European Union. However, due to the need for unanimity with the EU, it has been suggested that this extension cannot be guaranteed.
Questions have been raised as to those expats who have lived in EU countries long enough to receive residency. Many expat retirees have lived in Spain for over 10 years and after five, they were bestowed the right of permanent citizenship, and access to the Spanish healthcare system was included.
Derrick Wyatt QC, emeritus professor of law at Oxford University questions, "If we leave, what do we do about vested rights? Do we recognise rights to permanent residents that have arisen? What transitional rights do we give somebody who has been working for four years in the UK and has children at school and so forth?"
He continues, "Let us not forget that for every example in the UK there is an example of a UK citizen elsewhere. We would want to tidy that up. My guess is that the inclination of government and parliament would be to be generous as regards those who had already made their lives in the UK, knowing that it would be likely to be reciprocated."
The committee warns that the difficulties of negotiating a separation should not be underestimated. Sir David Edward, a former judge at the court of justice of the European Union commented: "The long-term ghastliness of the legal complications is almost unimaginable."

The modern kitchen design is a prerequisite for use in the design of mixed styles. Today, the kitchen is the energy center of the home, which is rapidly expanding its borders, becoming a multi-functional room. It is not just a room for cooking, hidden from the eyes of the guests. The kitchen is a guest area, where you can carry on a conversation in parallel with the preparation of food. Of course, such a kitchen cannot be impersonal; it should reflect the preferences of the homeowner.
Eclecticism is the "right" mix of styles, which gives a bright emotional effect. Eclecticism is the interior style, if it combines more than two or three stylistic types incorporated color, texture, architectural decision. Eclectic style is dialogue of several different cultures.

Student Build Campus
What is SBC (Student Build Campus)?
SBC is a concept being employed for the planned extension of Keio SFC. The new extension is called the Miraisouzoujuku or Institute for designing the future.

London courts reportedly claim they are facing an 'explosion' in cases of children battling over parents' wills inheritance disputes. The High Court has seen a record number of cases of children disputing parents' estates. This trend is likely to continue as the Supreme Court prepares to make a landmark ruling on a woman's fight over an inheritance.
This case will help to define the rules on claims of adult children relating to inheritance claims. The dispute centres on Ms Ilott and the will of her mother, made in April 2002, which left nothing to her family and all her estate to the animal charities. A lower court Bottom of Form awarded Heather Ilott about one-third of her late mother's £486,000 estate despite instructions given by her mother.
The rise in property prices is seen as a factor as are, divorces and remarriages. It is not uncommon that children from one marriage clash with offspring from another, as the extended family members fight over what they think they are entitled to. Such claims are not limited to direct family members.
This can only increase as multigenerational households continue to grow in popularity as property costs continue to rise. The Bank of Mum and Dad may also be a relevant factor as children borrow money from their parents, taking loans to get on to the property ladder, only later to discover that when the parent dies there are disputes among siblings about whether the money was a gift or a loan.
Martyn Trenerry, Head of Mullis & Peake LLP's Litigation Department and disputed wills specialist, said:
"The so called "Ilott effect" is believed to be fueling a rapid rise in the number of claims challenging wills brought disinherited children. The case highlights possibility of bringing a claim. In an age when we are generally more litigious there has been a marked increase in inheritance disputes as more people are aware that they can do something about it when they are cut out of their parents' will.
Many challenges fail as disputing Wills and Inheritance Act claims are a complex area of the law. The process can be lengthy and expensive. We have experience of both bringing and defending challenges to the validity of a will and have the practical knowledge and professional expertise to assist in resolving claims proactively and effectively."

PNC Bank has about 2,800 branches in the nineteen states of America. This makes PNC America's fifth largest bank. Most of its headquarters are located on the Northeast side of America with its branches in the Eastern side of America. Now, if you are someone who wishes to find a source for trustworthy loan, PNC Bank personal loan should be your definite choice. PNC Bank offers both; secured and unsecured loans. We will be exploring PNC Bank personal loan in this section.
PNC Bank personal loan qualifies as an unsecured loan. Unsecured personal loans basically do not hold any of your assets as collateral when it comes to the late payment of loan with interest. This means that you as a client will have a very less of a risk of being troubled by your lender. However, the lenders can opt for court measures to hold you at penalty for late return of loans.
PNC Bank Personal Loan
PNC Bank personal loan allows clients to borrow an amount that can lie between $1,000 to $25,000 at various terms. These terms include 6 months and go up to five years. PNC Bank personal loan has an APR fixed for an amount you will borrow. For example, borrowing $5,000 brings you an APR between 9.49% to 21.99%, for $10,000 the APR is from 6.74% to 19.24% and so on.
Applying for a loan with a bank can be time consuming when you compare it with an online based lender. Banks simply require thorough documentations. PNC Bank personal loan application, on the other hand, only takes about fifteen minutes online. Still, the APR amount on your loan is higher than many other loan options when compared with other online lenders. However, if you are undergoing hard times, PNC Bank allows you to defer the payments in accordance to your case. Just contact PNC without any delays to make your case stronger.
For application of PNC Bank personal loan, you need the following documents and you will be ready to receive your loan:
- A photo ID
- Source of income and the amount of annual income
- Your employer information (current)
- Your type, proof and address of residence
- If your loan has a co-applicant, provide their information as well.

Step 1Slice the bread in half horizontally, leaving 1 side hinged. Carefully hollow out the center of each side, leaving a retaining wall. Place on large sheet of waxed paper or foil. Lay the arugula or pea shoots in the well in the bottom half, then layer half the cheese over that. Set aside.
Step 2Beat the eggs with the milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3Combine the chorizo and onion in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat slightly and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring with a spatula, until set but still moist. Using a spatula, lift the cooked egg mixture onto the cheese-lined bread and arrange in an even layer, pressing down to compact. Lay the remaining cheese evenly on top.
Step 4Close the top of the bread, pressing down. Wrap the sandwich tightly in paper or foil and weight with cast-iron skillet or other heavy object for 1 hour to compact.
Step 5To serve, use a serrated knife to cut into wedges.

New traffic lights planned for Mumby Railway Bridge
New signals are being installed at the junction of the B1449 (Long Lane and Alford Road), between Mumby and Thurlby next week.
The improvements are set to begin on Monday June 12, with the work expected to be completed on Friday June 23.
During the project, the junction will be closed and traffic will be diverted via the A1111 and A52.
A highways spokesperson said: "These lights have come to the end of their working life, so it's essential we go in and get them replaced.
"Not only will the new signals be easier to maintain and cheaper to run, they will also use less energy, cutting our carbon footprint.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused while the work takes place, and advise motorists to allow additional time for their journeys."

The Department of Anthropology of the ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon was founded in 1982 and has been since a context of reference for teaching and research in Anthropology in Portugal.
The Department has been successfully articulating the theoretical and the ethnographic historical legacy of Anthropology with the analysis of social, local and global processes which involve cultural differences and are connected with international relations, nationalism, ethnicity, migration processes and new forms of coexistence and cultural and political negotiation. The Department of Anthropology pursues the aim of providing the students and researchers with a solid theoretical and scientific education, with the necessary instruments for carrying on research and, lastly, with professional skills which enable them to analyze and intervene in areas involving knowledge and ethnographic material and immaterial heritage, as well as to analyze the social, ethical and political implications of the inter-cultural relations that embrace the contemporary societies.
In close connection with the associated research unit, the Network Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA-IUL), the Department focuses on such strategic areas of teaching and research as the context of Lusophony, the issues of social and human development and the promotion of techniques and audiovisual media as a means of production and dissemination of anthropological knowledge. The group of lecturers and researchers is equally dedicated to pursuing and directing research in a range of areas (theoretical, methodological, and ethnographic) which characterize and give the Anthropology its specificity in the framework of the Social Sciences and Humanities.
In the scope of the national framework, the Department of Anthropology of the ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon is the one that offers the greatest diversity of themes in the courses, and receives the largest number of students and the best assessment in external and international evaluation.

The Tower of the Antilles
Stories by Achy Obejas
Achy Obejas's stories of contemporary Cuba explore how history and fate intrude on even the most ordinary of lives. The Cubans in her story collection are haunted by islands: the island they fled, the island they've created, the island they were taken to or forced from, the island they long for, the island they return to, and the island that can never be home again.
In "Supermán," several possible story lines emerge about a 1950s Havana sex-show superstar who disappeared as soon as the Revolution triumphed. "North/South" portrays a migrant family trying to cope with separation, lives on different hemispheres, and the eventual disintegration of blood ties. "The Cola of Oblivion" follows the path of a young woman who returns to Cuba, and who inadvertently uncorks a history of accommodation and betrayal among the family members who stayed behind during the revolution. In the title story, "The Tower of the Antilles," an interrogation reveals a series of fantasies about escape and a history of futility.
With language that is both generous and sensual, Obejas writes about existences beset by events beyond individual control, and poignantly captures how history and fate intrude on even the most ordinary of lives.
Praise for Achy Obejas' work:
"Questions of personal and national identity percolate through the stories in Obejas's memorable short fiction collection, most of which is set in Cuba, the author's birthplace . . . These 10 stories show Obejas's talent, illuminating Cuban culture and the innermost lives of her characters."
— Publishers Weekly
"Obejas's stories demonstrate an acute understanding of being caught between two places and cultures as different as America and Cuba."
— Library Journal
"By turns searing and subtly magical, the stories in Obejas' vividly imagined collection are propelled by her characters' contradictory feelings about and unnerving experiences in Cuba . . . For all the human tumult and deftly sketched and reverberating historical and cultural contexts that Obejas incisively creates in these poignant, alarming tales, she also offers lyrical musings on the mysteries of the sea and the vulnerability of islands and the body. Obejas' plots are ambushing, her characters startling, her metaphors fresh, her humor caustic, and her compassion potent in these intricate and haunting stories of displacement, loss, stoicism, and realization."
— Booklist
"The rich thematic and symbolic texture of much of the collection rewards repeated reading and promises continued insight. How Cuba's distinctive history and culture shape the unique negotiations with identity, memory and the idea of home that complicate the lives of the residents, exiles, and expatriates who populate this volume is a worthy subject indeed."
— Lambda Literary
"Obejas writes with gentleness, without flashy wording or gimmicks, about people trying to figure out where they belong . . . The language we use and the stories we tell impact the futures we can imagine, but they are also restricted by what has come before. Obejas's Cuban characters, like most Americans, have limited access to the resources they need. One gets the sense that Obejas, like the Maldivian president, thinks it is time that the world takes these systemic problems on."
— Los Angeles Review of Books
"Obejas's use of language is masterful and intimate, deeply felt and projected . . . The Tower of the Antilles joins a rich store of in-between literature from Cubans over the past half-century, by both those who left and those who stayed. But it rises above this sea of work, claiming a place that is generally less politically wrought, instead depending for its power on a rich unfolding and unexpected tensions. I highly recommend this collection."
— World Literature Today
"Exile is a murky subject that inevitably calls into question what it means to be Cuban — on and off the island; then, now, and in the future. Obejas came to this country as a refugee and her stories offer a nuanced view of the changes that take place within refugee communities over the course of a prolonged exile. Caught between the United States and Cuba, her characters often feel adrift, caught between nations, diverting cultures and languages. These feelings often manifest in their bodies and in their interactions with others. The Tower of the Antilles reveals the extraordinary power that feelings of instability and in-betweenness arising from the trauma of exile hold over those who leave and those who stay."
— Los Angeles Review of Books
"For twenty years I've been a fan of the genius Achy Obejas—since I first read Memory Mambo in 1996. Obejas has been the model of a writer for me in every way—a master in her aesthetics, an inspiration in her politics, fearless and vital in every page. The Tower of the Antilles is another brilliant collection, a story of many Cubas, intensely personal and political, erotic and cerebral. I found myself holding my breath as I devoured this book, as I navigated the various avenues of the body, the blood, and all those seemingly impossible roads that lead to a place we try to call home."
— Porochista Khakpour, author of The Last Illusion
"These stories are like a long dream of many parts, mixed desire, love, longing, anger—Obejas is a master of the human, able to conjure her characters' heartbeats right under your fingertips, their breaths in your ears."
— Alexander Chee, author of The Queen of the Night
"Obejas writes like an angel, which is to say: gloriously . . . one of Cuba's most important writers."
— Junot Díaz
Publisher: Akashic Books
Pub Date: July 4, 2017
Hardcover, 150 pages, $19.95,
Available wherever books are sold, including AkashicBooks.com
Achy Obejas is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Ruins, Days of Awe, and three other books of fiction. She edited and translated (into English) the anthology Havana Noir, and has since translated Junot Díaz, Rita Indiana, Wendy Guerra, and many others. In 2014, she was awarded a USA Ford Fellowship for her writing and translation. The Tower of the Antilles is her latest work.
